Chapter 123: A Historical Coincidence (Christmas Eve Plus Update!) Ask for a commuter pass)

At the end of 1894, the riverside street was not prosperous, in fact, there was only one main street, but on both sides of the main street, which was 50 meters wide, there were still buildings that met the plan, although most of these buildings were Western-style buildings, but they also showed the prototype of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the side of the auxiliary street of the central street, there is a three-storey Western-style building, the building looks extremely majestic, and the most striking thing is probably the thick walls of the building, especially the first floor, which can be seen from the windows The wall is at least two feet thick, which is where the headquarters of the Binjiang Town Guard District is located, and the so-called town guard is actually defense.

Based on the principle of not setting up a "second-in-command," or the principle of not allowing subordinates to threaten their own rule, Tang Haoran drew on the functions of the provincial military district in later generations in the setting up of the town garrison area, and it was mainly responsible for the reserve forces in the province, the construction of the Zhuangding regiment, and the conscription work in peacetime. Compared with the provincial military districts, it has an additional logistics function. However, at the same time, it is the same as the provincial military district, and has no power to control the garrison, but in wartime, it can temporarily grant the power of moderation according to the order of the military command department, that is, to reorganize the group army with the town guard office.

Prudence and checks and balances, perhaps for Tang Haoran, it is based on this principle that the Northeast still maintains basic stability today, and it is this principle that makes it impossible for "careerists" to appear in the military and political system of the Northeast, after all, careerists complement each other with their power.

At the entrance of the headquarters of the town guard district, the terrazzo inlay brass inscription "Keep honor", which is a nameplate that can be seen in every military building, to remind officers and soldiers to "keep honor" at all times. What is the honor of a military man?

"My honor is loyalty!"

In the Northeast Army. And on its badge and armband. You can see these seven words, seven words are not heavy, but for soldiers, this is the creed they must abide by from the moment they enter the barracks.

Compared with the past, today's headquarters seems to be different from the past, and it appears to be heavily guarded, and in fact, the people of Binjiang City have also noticed this - except for the police on the streets. There were also gendarmes patrolling back and forth, and only a very small number of people knew that the reason for the increased vigilance was entirely due to the arrival of the de facto ruler of the northeast, the governors of the three eastern provinces.

This is obviously very different from the way the governor sounded the gong and held the flag high in the old days, and even now, after a few hours, only a very small number of people know that the governor of the three eastern provinces is in the Binjiang town garrison headquarters in Binjiang.

Standing in the backyard of the headquarters. Looking at the weapon in his hand, Tang Haoran couldn't help but take a closer look at the weapon in his hand. First of all, taste its sophistication from its appearance. First, the 'thickness matching', ingenuity, the main plane of the pistol is processed smoothly and brightly, and the ridges, chamfers and rounded corners are processed very neatly and clearly, giving people the enjoyment of stretching and smoothness; In some parts of the gun, such as the two sides of the hammer, the upper part of the front sight and the concave modeling plane on both sides of the receiver, there are very obvious traces of knife lines that are consistent with the main line, giving people a rough and powerful feeling. Second, 'black and white', staggered. The quintessential sign is its shiny appearance.

Its surface is dark black from a distance, but when you hold the gun in your hand and look at it, due to the change of light, the color of the whole gun is crystal clear, black and blue. This is rare on other guns. What's even more admirable is that in the part of the gun, there are several silver-white places, such as the body, transmitter components, gauge sheet and automatic firing shoots on the trigger, etc., which make the whole gun present a bright and dynamic feeling. From the point of view of the whole gun, the silver-white bolt and the blue-black shell hook, the silver-white ruler sheet and the blue-black vernier and the ruler are divided, and the silver-white hammer and the blue-black safety handle and receiver have both sharp contrast and internal coordination. The jumping embellishments echo the overall calmness, which is admirable.

This is Mauser, this is not Mauser!

Holding it in his hand, Tang Haoran repeatedly chanted this sentence in his mind, almost when he got off the train, when meeting with others, he noticed that the cavalry in charge of guarding had a wooden shell around his waist, for any Chinese who was slightly more military-loving in later generations, it was no stranger to the wooden shell, and even the chic to a somewhat ugly grip, whether it was in old photos or war film and television dramas, it was always indispensable, it was a box cannon.

The guerrilla leader Li Xiangyang's double guns extinguished the puppet army's flashlight, Captain Liu's column rescued his comrades with a gun, and Wu Qionghua injured Nan Batian with one shot, and the protagonists were all box guns.

Is the box cannon invented now?

The answer is yes, this exquisite pistol in his hand is evidence, it is by no means crossed, but the real problem is that it is no longer called a Mauser pistol, and even now, it has no name, but on that mirror is engraved with two Chinese characters "Binjiang", which is a pistol made by Binjiang, which means that from now on, it is no longer called a Mauser pistol, no longer a foreign product, but an authentic "domestic product".

This is because its inventors are in China, in the Northeast, in Binjiang, they designed and manufactured twelve "box guns" in the Binjiang Arsenal, which is really ...... For a while, Tang Haoran found that he was speechless, whether it was because of excitement or because of the irreversibility of history.

"Dashuai, you see there are sandbags under this wall, if Dashuai is interested, you might as well shoot a few shots!"

As a bystander, Kong Qingtang didn't know the strangeness in Dashuai's eyes, and he was surprised that he was surprised by the pistol he made for Binjiang.

Fidel on the side was even more excited, originally the reason why he "gifted" these guns to the commander of the cavalry battalion of the headquarters was to use his hand to show His Excellency the commander that although the headquarters has no direct jurisdiction over the army in the Jilin region, he is a big man in the military after all, and if he can get his appreciation, then this pistol is bound to be purchased by the army. It was surprising that the gun appeared in front of the Governor so quickly.

What is lucky, perhaps there is nothing more fortunate than that.

Holding the box cannon in his hand, stroking its body, and feeling its coldness, Tang Haoran felt as if he had returned to his youth, when he always fantasized that one day he would be like a hero in the movie, holding the box cannon with both hands, and knocking the enemy to the ground with a bow left and right, but at this time it really appeared in his hands.

What is the box cannon complex, maybe this is the box cannon complex!

Is this the irreversibility of history?

The experience of later generations makes Tang Haoran very clear that in this era of hand-drawn rifles, the box gun that can shoot semi-automatically is how "against the sky" exists, even if it is invented now, it will definitely be accepted by the army, maybe the box gun is not a good pistol, but it still has its characteristics. It is an alternative in the pistol world from the beginning of its design, and its power, range, accuracy, and firepower persistence far surpass ordinary pistols.

The Mauser pistol basically serves as an enhanced version of the large pistol. Although its price is more expensive, its actual combat performance is much stronger than that of ordinary pistols, and it is quite cost-effective in comparison. In an era when machine guns were not available and rifles were slow to fire, the Mauser pistol, with high firepower and a lot of ammunition, could suppress a large number of enemies.

Just like the pistol team in another time and space, they will always play the role of "surprise soldiers" in unexpected places, which is a color that other weapons cannot give. Maybe it's not a very good pistol, but it's definitely an excellent combat pistol.

And what does that mean? It means that the future Northeast Army will definitely be equipped with it in large quantities, and those company platoon commanders and sergeants will put down the revolver gun and replace it with a more powerful box gun, and even this gun may become a symbol of the Northeast.

The irreversibility of history is actually shown in this alternative way in front of Tang Haoran, how can he not be frightened, what is shocking is not this pistol, but the strangeness of history.

Just like in another time and space, the use of bridge clamp bullets, a clip of ten bullets, the Bolt pistol bullet used is a necked neck bullet, which looks not much different from the 7.63mm Mauser pistol bullet, in fact, the so-called Mauser pistol bullet is based on the Bolt bullet is replaced with a more powerful propellant, and the shape of the two elements is completely identical. Even decades later, after the northern neighbor changed, the first standard pistol cartridge he developed was only a copy of the 7.63mm Mauser pistol cartridge.

From 7.65mm to 7.62mm, it's just a process, nothing more than a process of constant improvement of the propellant. Well, perhaps, such an improvement can also be made here, after all, the smokeless medicine used by the Northeast Army now is a two-base smokeless drug that is more advanced than the German single-base propellant.

After loading, Tang Haoran took the wooden gun shell again, and sure enough, as expected, the wooden shell could be connected with the gun handle, in fact, it was guessed from the card slot behind the grip. It's just that, unlike the straight butt in the old photo, this connection is somewhat slanted downward, well, there is room for improvement.

"Click......

Seeing that the marshal stuck the gun case on the handle of the gun, not to mention others, even Fidel, as the designer, was also stunned, this was the result of his borrowing from Bolt's pistol, but the butt and the gun case were combined.

Don't say that he was surprised, even Ding Liqiang was stunned, when he was in the arsenal, if it wasn't for the German who told him that he could take the butt, he wouldn't have known that the gun could be picked up at all, but the handsome ......

After completing the installation of the butt, Tang Haoran did not speak, but squinted his eyes and looked directly at the target plate in front of him, and only after a while did he pick up the pistol, aim, and pull the trigger......
