"This is...... Grenadier canisters? The projection picture on the screen was very clear, and Li Yongji recognized it at once, "It can't be a devil's grenadier, right?" ”

"That's right, it's a grenadier!" Zhang Xinda smiled and nodded, "Originally, I wanted to get you some grenades, so as to increase a little close-range attack and defense capabilities, but suddenly I thought, the grenade thing is good for the well-trained, and the undertrained person takes that thing, and the enemy has not blown it up yet, so he blew himself up first, it's too dangerous, and your era is not dominated by trench warfare, and the grenade is not very useful." Who knew that after this was vetoed by myself, I remembered the grenadier of the devil from this. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xinda pointed to the schematic diagram on the screen: "This grenadier canister, the prototype is the 8**9 grenadier during the Japanese invasion of China, this is the medium and close support weapon I gave you for individual soldiers, how about it, have you heard of it?" ”

"Of course I did." Li Yongji pouted, "You forget, my grandfather once with the little devil, and he heard a lot of anti-Japanese stories when he was a child, how could the grenadier not know...... Well, in this way, the grenadier you are going to prepare for me is the same as that used by the Japanese devils? ”

"It should be said that it is a powerful version." Zhang Xinda said, "The Japanese devil's 8.9 grenadier was limited by the material at the time, and the steel strength of the grenadier was limited, which affected the quality and launch distance of the grenadier. And I use modern steel, it doesn't need to be too good, just the general military alloy steel in the seventies, the strength is much higher than the strength of the barrel of the historical eight ** nine grenadier barrels, so even if it is the same design, after using modern steel, it can be lighter in weight, and then add propellant and explosives to make the distance farther and more powerful.

For example, the grenadier you see now has the same design, but the total weight is only 3.1 kg, which is more than a kilogram lighter than the original 8*9 grenadier with a total weight of 4.7 kg, but the firing distance has not decreased, but increased.

After testing, firing an ordinary 0.5-kilogram special high-explosive grenade, the effective projectile distance of this powerful version of the grenadier canister is 500 meters, the farthest is 750 meters, the nearest 30 meters, the effective killing radius of the grenade fragment is 9 meters, if the opponent's formation is dense and falls in the center of the crowd, it is not a problem to kill more than 20 people with one shot.

Of course, if you want to pursue accuracy, limited by eyesight, the actual distance is much shorter than this, generally within 400 meters is still quite accurate, beyond this distance, the accuracy is relatively poor, all depends on personal experience, after all, this ultra-light grenade has no tail.

In addition, this thing is also equipped with a detachable folding bipod, the total weight of the bipod is 1.1 kg, if the preparation time is sufficient, there is time to match the bipod, then this grenadier can be more stable to shoot, and immediately become a light mortar.

You know, one of the main reasons that affects the accuracy of the grenadier is that the soldier needs to hold the grenadier with one hand to fire, and it is inevitable that his hands will tremble when firing, which will affect the accuracy, if there is a bipod, this is much better.

However, due to the design and cost, there are no complex things like height adjusters and sights, and to adjust the elevation angle, you can only rely on manual and guò to move the grenadier back and forth to adjust the muzzle elevation angle, which is better than nothing. ”

"Damn, you're still a grenadier, wouldn't it be better to directly engage in a light mortar?" Li Yongji said.

"Cost, boss." Zhang Xinda said, "The cost of a 50 mm light mortar is four times the price of a grenadier, and there are many parts and components, and the weight has also increased a lot. And although this power-enhanced version of the grenadier has simplified the parts and the accuracy is still poor, it is still quite good if it is only a support weapon of your company-level formation, after all, it has the characteristics of light weight, cheap price, and rapid deployment.

The problem of shooting accuracy, hit a few more times, with experience, it will be cultivated, anyway, the shells of this mortar are not expensive, it is the price of a grenade, the training shell is cheaper, and if it is mass-produced, it is cheaper than the Liuyang flower cannon of the same quality. Besides, the enemy you are currently facing is still a dense formation of troops, dealing with group targets, this is enough, if you really want to work, there are other weapons to be responsible. ”

"Okay, you've passed the test with this more powerful version of the grenadier, I'll give it a try." Li Yongji shook his head, "But speaking of which, your interest in weapon modification is really bad, it always sounds good, but it may not be much better to use." For example, the last time you made a power-enhanced version of the Napoleon gun, Nima has a height device to adjust the elevation angle, but you didn't install a gun control retreat, or a hard artillery, but after firing a shot, the gun retreated, and you had to push it back to aim, which took a lot of effort, and Yan zhòng affected the firing speed, why didn't you install the brake? And why don't you make the support frame a two-legged one? ”

"Big brother, if you install a brake, is it still called a Napoleon cannon? The appearance is too far apart, and the appearance can't deceive people. ”

"Fool whom? As far as those people in the Qing Dynasty are concerned, they only know that they are called foreign cannons, what can they know about the difference between Napoleonic cannons? Speaking of foreigners, I haven't let foreigners get close to my barracks, let alone artillery barracks, and secrecy is not a problem at all, in short, your design is a failure. ”

"Well, didn't you say that you would still be in the arms business in the future?" Zhang Xinda touched his nose, "You can sell it to others in the future, even if this cannon doesn't have a brake, it's pretty good." ”

"You also said that it was quite good, so since it was sold to others, why did I sell it?" Li Yongji was angry, "If you want to sell it, you can sell the original Napoleonic cannon, all simplified, all cast iron, how cheap and how to come, anyway, if you use modern technology, it must be better than the Napoleonic cannon in 1860, you don't understand this?" ”

"This is not bad as a training cannon."

"Train Mao! Each weapon has its own way of using it, and no matter how much this thing is trained, it can only be trained to play Napoleon cannons, and nothing else can be practiced, in short, I want to return it! No, I want to exchange! ”

"Okay, don't worry, I'll change it for you," Zhang Xinda said, "You can take a look at the weapons I prepared for you first, okay?" I'm not done yet. ”

"Okay, you go on." Li Yongji nodded.

"Lucko!" Zhang Xinda changed another picture, showing a schematic diagram of another weapon, "W87 81mm mortar, MadeInCHina, this is not an imitation I found someone to make myself, it is the original imported from China here in South Africa, there is not much to say about the parameters, there are detailed instructions, you can see for yourself in the future, in short, the power, rate of fire and firing distance are quite good, whether you use it as a battalion-level or regiment-level support artillery fire, it is absolutely enough." ”

"Yay? When did you switch to buying the original goods and not make them yourself? Li Yongji said curiously.

"Isn't that what you want?" Zhang Xinda shook his head, "The South African factory I am familiar with has limited production capacity, and the production of grenadiers, grenades for grenadiers, and the ** of the modified Napoleon cannon is already running at full capacity, and to increase production capacity, I have to make additional investment, become a shareholder or directly acquire them, Nima, it is a troublesome matter." In short, you said that you were in a hurry, that you were about to fight a big battle, and that you wanted insurance, and I thought about it, so I bought this for you.

In fact, I originally wanted to buy a more advanced one, such as the M1 81mm mortar of the US military, who knows the price, Nima, a World War II product, is actually much more expensive than the W87 mortar exported by China, and our Chinese mortar is the price of cabbage in South Africa, so what else to say, there are cheaper and more advanced, I will definitely not buy anything else. ”

"That's just as well." Li Yongji nodded, "I've also heard that the old honest artillery was actually more expensive, but it was not as cheap as modern ordinary weapons, but this is not a solution, it will definitely be in greater demand in the future, and it is not okay to always buy modern goods, it still has to be imitated." ”

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about imitation, when I buy that South African steel plant, you can build it yourself and play with it, and build whatever you want." Zhang Xinda pursed his lips, "Come, take a look at the third life-saving weapon I prepared for you, you are absolutely satisfied!" ”

As the picture changed, Li Yongji immediately exclaimed: ", AK47? Do you want to be so cruel? ”

"Wrong, it's a Type 56 automatic rifle, that is, a domestic 56 Chong, Nima can admit his mistake, how to play in college military training." Zhang Xinda smiled.

"Damn, when I was in military training in college, I only touched 56 and a half, and I didn't touch 56 at all." Li Yongji shook his head, "But you, how did you get 56 Chong?" ”

"It's cheap!" Zhang Xinda shrugged his shoulders, "Here in South Africa, 1200 rand is a 56 punch, with 60 rounds of ammunition, which is equivalent to only 665 yuan, not too cheap, this is still a new gun, if it has been used for more than a year, it is at least half cheaper." In comparison, a broken AK47 actually costs 2000 rand, which is too dark. But now that we have money, we bought you all new guns, a total of 300 guns, and 900,000 bullets, which is enough for you to play. ”

"Uh-huh." Li Yongji nodded, "It's enough for me to equip a battalion." ”

"Little family." Zhang Xinda said, "I'll send you a copy of the army establishment during World War I, you can take a good look, it's not that I said, your crappy three-three system or something, it doesn't conform to the historical trend, in the middle of the nineteenth century, or the four-four system is more appropriate." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll look at it later." Li Yongji said, "AK, no, I know that the 56 can be used as a machine gun, but how many grenadiers and mortars do you have?" ”

"I temporarily produced 1,000 grenadiers, about 60,000 high-explosive grenades, and no training shells. At present, the production of grenadiers has been stopped, and the production of high-explosive grenades has been changed to full production, with a daily output of about 1,000 rounds. Zhang Xinda said, "As for the W87 81mm mortar, I bought 100 shells, 5,000 training shells, and 10,000 high-explosive grenades, is it enough?" ”

"Well, that's pretty much enough."

"Pretty much? Nima is really talking. Zhang Xinda pouted, "It's not that I said, you are too timid, in fact, if you use Sharps, **, plus the modified Napoleonic cannon that you gave you before, you can sweep the Taiping army, there is no need to be so careful." ”

"There is no big mistake in being careful, it is better to have more firepower than not to use it when the time comes." Li Yongji said, "Those soldiers of mine are still too young to have real bayonets, and if there is no continuous fire and continuous heavy firepower as insurance, I dare not guarantee what will happen on the battlefield." You know, the Taiping army is said to be very crazy, if you rush forward without fear of death and let my soldiers have a nervous breakdown, then I will have to point to these things and hold my ground. ”

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with being careful." Zhang Xinda nodded, "If it's me, I have to get more big killers as the bottom of the box." ”

"So, give me all these three weapons, and the other is the horses, the number of horses is too small, when will I be replenished?"

"Big brother, if you ask for 30,000 horses, I won't be able to get them for a while." Zhang Xinda said, "China's horse market is not prosperous, I got you 5,000 Yili horses, it has been a lot of effort, and the price is still expensive, buy more, the price will go up." But don't worry, I have already negotiated with a large American farmer, and ordered 20,000 horses with him, mainly quat horses and Belshulun horses, and I also ordered 3,000 Hequ horses from a horse farm in Inner Mongolia, and I will charter a plane to pick up the goods directly tomorrow, and send them to you when the time comes, and you will wait for two more days. ”

"Well, that's it for now!" Li Yongji nodded, "Other medicines, clothing, four-wheeled carriages and the like, by the way, as well as Sharps rifles, navy revolvers and the like, don't forget to prepare." ”

"Well, yes, yes, Emma, I've had a hard time." Zhang Xinda shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't worry, Sharps rifles and revolvers, those foundries in my country have been producing at full capacity, due to the opening of new molds and the addition of new stamping machines, the output is very high, and there are a lot of inventory, you are only 6,000 people, I guarantee that there is no problem." As for the rest, I have arranged for a domestic film and television props company to do it, and I guarantee that I will not delay you.

In short, you can rest assured on my side, you can train well with peace of mind and meet the next big battle! ”
