"We in the American Confederacy will not be what you say!" President Davis retorted with a red face.

He can endure other things, but you say that the country is going to end, he can't bear it, and he is the commander.

However, Gatlin didn't care about this at all now, as if he was going to paralyze Davis's other half of his face angrily, only to see Gatlin take a slow sip of tea.

"You ......" Davis couldn't take it anymore!

Yes, actually, there has been no talk of collapse yet, and Davis has nothing particularly radical, so what does this mean?

Gatling felt almost the same, and the guy smiled and said, "Mr. President, it's useless for you to be anxious now, and it's useless for you to be unhappy with my remarks, because that's the way it is now!" The defeat of the Confederate soldiers at Gettysburg, the worst battle in the history of the American continent, devastated the Confederacy's vitality! Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about? I'm sure you know better than I do! ”

"......" Davis has no way of denying it.

However, Gatlin's trip was not to anger President Davis, but to hear him continue: "Mr. President, and I can help the Dixie people now!" ”

"Can you help?" Davis had that hope from the beginning, but he really didn't know who would be able to help the South right now.

"Of course! I'm here to help the South! Gatlin's attitude suddenly became sincere, "Mr. President, one of the most obvious problems in the South right now. That's the military disadvantage. How did this disadvantage come about? We can't blame Robert. General Lee, because without him, we would have lost the war early in the morning! And actually. We must not blame him, because our current disadvantages are actually multifaceted, and we have to admit that in terms of strength, we are inferior to the Yankees. ”

"......" Davis didn't say anything because of these things. He also knew, and Gatlin had a 'we'. This......

Gatling continued: "The most obvious thing is in industry, most of the weapons in the hands of our soldiers come from the north, and what we produce ourselves, it is very mediocre. But now, the Yankees have better guns. Mr. President, you must have heard the phrase that some Northern soldiers, 'they can fight for a week after they reload'? ”

Can you play for a week with a reload?

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but in reality this is what the Southern soldiers are describing the northern units they encounter, which are armed with breech-loading rifles, such as the Burnside. Henry rifles, etc., these rifles can shoot several rounds after being reloaded, which is much stronger than front-loading guns.

"Burnside, that idiot!" Davis scolded. The Burnside he spoke of was the guy who invented the Burnside rifle, that is, the unlucky guy.

Yes, the arsenal that Li Mengyang acquired before was bought from Burnside, and his invention was cheaper than Li Mengyang, but this Burnside was not completely unlucky. Because of this rifle, he became famous. Lincoln appointed him as a high officer.

In the previous Battle of Voorburg, Burnside was even the supreme commander, but this guy is not bad at inventing a weapon, but he can fight...... It doesn't seem like he's ever won, he's already lost several times anyway.

However, Lincoln is also very interesting, this guy likes the kind of people who can do things, and appoint these individuals to generals, and the other is the Navy Dahlgren.

However, although Burnside himself was defeated and eaten, the rifle he invented was really of great help to the Northern army, and even Burnside's knock-off product, the Sharps rifle, was also very useful.

Why did Gatling carry a gun?

Just listen to him continue: "The Yankees have a big advantage in weapons! And now because we have consumed too much before, many soldiers are newly recruited, and they are not good at handling rifles! ”

Gatling is telling the truth, Davis knows that the current rifle operation is very troublesome, especially the mainstream equipment in the South, the Springfield rifle, this rifle has a very problematic fire cap, and it must be very accurate to really shoot.

At this time, the rifle, especially the Springfield rifle, still continued the previous fire cap design, and they became more and more complicated, the fire cap is the ignition thing, but now it is a paper cannon gun very similar to the one that Li Mengyang played with when he was a child, that is, a smash, a spark. However, Springfield's fire cap is a piece of paper, it's really a paper cannon, but you have to be very accurate about this paper to be excited.

This is also why, in the Battle of Voburg, there were several rows of people on a position, only the front row could shoot, and the people behind were all loading for him and aiming at the paper cannon, because this was the most efficient.

A few people are waiting for a gun, this ...... But yes, this gun is cheap, and this gun is still traditional, you know, the flintlock pistol is actually something made by the watchmakers, the watchmakers, their skills are outstanding, but the higher the things are naturally more complicated.

Gatling knew a lot about this kind of gun, and he was an expert in weapons himself, but today he didn't just complain about old weapons.

"Mr. President, you may not know the unskilled soldiers on the front line in operating rifles, I have a report here, you can take a look at it, and after reading it, you should understand."

"Report?" Davis looked dazed, as the president of the Southern government, is there anything he doesn't understand about the Battle of Gettysburg?

I saw Gatlin take out a piece of paper, this article doesn't seem to have much content, just a piece of paper, but when Davis took it and looked at it, his face changed greatly!

So what is written on it?

Actually, there are some numbers that are not detailed, but these numbers are too amazing!

"Gettysburg's post-war clean-up efforts found more than 37,000 rifles, most of which were lost and discarded by the Confederate army, and of them, 24,000 rifles had projectiles, including about 6,000 rifles with a single bullet. The rifle with two bullets amounted to 12,000, and the largest rifle was stuffed with 23 bullets......"

Yes, that's a report. This should be the report of the victorious Northern Army when they were cleaning the battlefield, as for the number is not exact, this is also normal, because from the point of view of time, if such a report can be obtained at this time, it must be the initial report, that is. Nature can't be too accurate, but ......

Davis's old face is paralyzed. One moment it turns blue, then it turns red, and finally it turns purple...... At first it was anger, then it turned to shame. In the end, I really don't know where to put this face!

Yes, the soldiers in the south are too bad, right? What is such a guy thinking about being able to play 23 bullets in one gun? Who are these people?

To tell the truth, Davis has already praised God in his heart, and it is really not easy for the Southern Confederacy to not be defeated today, this is absolutely God blessed!

However, this Gatling was able to get such a report. This guy ...... Or maybe the rebels behind him are very powerful!

Davis deserves to be president, he's not an idiot.

As for this report, it was naturally obtained by the New Tang Empire of the United States. And it was also some of the people left in the east by Li Mengyang, of course, the deaf people of the Garaudet School who made great contributions were deaf and participated in the civil war, and many times. There is almost no defense for them, so I got a battlefield report. It's not that hard, of course.

Gatlin's trip was naturally Li Mengyang's instruction, but this report was obtained by him later, and it was originally going to be sent to the empire, but he took it and used it first.

Because of this report, it really helped Gatling a lot in his mission!

I only heard him say: "Mr. President! We should not blame our fighters! They have killed the enemy bravely, and they have given many, many more! We should blame the arms manufacturers! It's that they didn't design a qualified, easy-to-use weapon! ”

"......," said that, Davis naturally understood, "So, Mr. Gatlin, you have a good weapon?" ”

Davis is not stupid, he knows what this guy Gatlin does, and he wastes so many lips and tongues, don't you understand the purpose? However, for now, Davis seems to have no other way, so let's listen to Gatlin's construction.

"Of course!" Gatlin no longer concealed it at this time, he had said everything that should be said, and now it was up to him to see the real thing, "I don't know, can I demonstrate it for Mr. President?" ”

Because it's a weapon, it's the residence of the president of a country, so it's not easy for you to bring it in directly.

"There is no problem!" What else does Davis disagree with?

It wasn't long before Gatlin had his servant bring a long box, and when the box was opened, a rifle appeared in Davis's eyes.

It's the kind of revolver rifle that Li Mengyang made!

"Mr. President, you see, just stuff the bullets we produce from this place, it's very simple, and then open the safe, okay, you can aim, shoot whatever you want, definitely where to shoot...... Of course, after you run out of bullets, you have to pour out the shells inside, hard, hard, look, come out, right? ”

The operation of this rifle is naturally simple and straightforward, and it has also undergone several improvements, which can be said to be a very good weapon.

"......" Davis just operated a few times, and he said with great emotion: "You relied on this thing to take New York back then?" ”

"Exactly!" Gatling was not shy about it, "This rifle is great for Clint. Invented by Li Majesty, it can be said that even children can operate, it is convenient and simple, light and easy to carry......"

Gatlin had become a salesman, and he was talking about the merits of this weapon anyway.

"But......" Davis struggled a little, "if we in the South do this business with you, then ......"

But that's the question.

I only heard Gatlin say, "Mr. President, I'm a Southerner!" Moreover, the business between us can go through a middleman......"

"Middlemen?" Davis's pupils have widened, if there is a middleman, then this business can be! (To be continued)
