When Empress Victoria was depressed, Prime Minister Möngke walked in and said: "Your Majesty, the US Secretary of State has asked us to use the royal relationship to understand Germany's intentions, which is a bit difficult for a strong man. Victoria sighed and said: "Now that Americans have become the protagonists, we are the supporting characters, this is the general trend and we must adapt to the new heavy relationship." The United States and Britain are hardcore brothers, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and no separation can be born. I have sent someone to Germany, and this matter cannot be heard. ”

Meng Ge nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the Germans have ambitions, if there are really variables on the European continent, we must be prepared, I think the French should be informed." "I'm afraid the French have already gotten the news, so let's wait and see!" At this time, an officer hurriedly entered and said: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the United States has just sent a top-secret document, please take a look at it!" ”

Möngke took the top-secret document and handed it to Victoria after the officer left. Victoria said: "I'm dizzy, you can see first!" After reading it, tell me the general content. Möngke took out the document a little carelessly, speculating that it might be something from the German side. But Meng Ke looked at it and became extremely focused. Seeing Meng Ge's expression, Victoria felt a little anxious in her heart, but Her Majesty the Empress had the strength to wait patiently after a long period of experience.

"Your Majesty, there is great news from the United States. The U.S. military has developed a fighter that can strike the enemy from the air. The U.S. side asked us to send engineers and scientists to participate in the development, and asked us to quickly select pilot personnel to go to the United States. If the fighter is successfully developed, the United States will allow the British side to manufacture it on a large scale. The introduction of the fighter is very detailed. If the fighter plane is successfully developed and the use of sharp air strike weapons, our island defense will be greatly strengthened. ”

And so it is. You do it right away, only the plan that is conducive to defense is the top priority! Victoria's expression changed drastically, and Möngke nodded and turned to leave. Wait! Victoria answered. Your Majesty, what other orders do you have? "How's the trial production of the repeating gun developed by the Ordnance Bureau?" "Go back to Your Majesty! The repeating pistol was basically finalized and was already named a carbine. It is currently in the stage of live-ammunition testing, and if there are no major problems, it will be put into large-scale production. ”

Victoria said decisively: "After the carbine has been tested." Immediately provide all design drawings and manufacturing processes to the U.S. side. Americans are so generous, and we can't sit idly by. "After all, the British have a long history of small arms manufacturing, and the Americans have a certain gap in scientific research. The British Army was defeated repeatedly against the Chinese army, especially considering the strength of the Chinese army. Therefore, British military experts came up with the idea of winning by firepower.

What is firepower? That is, it has strong firepower per unit area, and only by using dense bullet rain saturation attacks can it have a fighting capability with the Chinese Army. Therefore, after two years of research and development, the repeating gun named the carbine was finally successfully trial-produced. The gun is the Royal Academy of Military Sciences, Carbine? Dr. Wright personally led the shotgun, hence the name carbine. It's a bit funny, the carbine was originally invented by the Americans in World War II, but now it has become the patent of the British.

Maybe the war became the catalyst. The British developed individual burst combat weapons in order to effectively fight against the Chinese Army. Second, modern industry has been able to fully meet the consumption of ammunition. The carbine has an effective firing range of 250 meters and uses a slewing locking device, which can be fired in single or continuous bursts, and the caliber is 6?52 mm. The magazine shuttle is located in the front of the trigger, and the magazine is loaded with 25 rounds. In fact, the carbine has been formed at the beginning of the year, but the problem of jamming often occurs, and after nearly a year of repeated trials, the problem of jamming has finally been solved.

A few days later, Möngke went to the Royal Small Arms Test Ground outside London. Outside, the dense gunfire of gunfire could be heard from the test, and Meng Ge got out of the car to listen. At present, the cars and trucks developed in the United States have been mass-produced in the United Kingdom. Hearing the pleasant sound of gunshots, Meng Ge was in a good mood. The British military officer who accompanied him said: "Your Excellency, after half a month of continuous testing, the results are good, and the military department has approved the finalization, but Dr. Carbin and Dr. Wright are very stubborn and demand to continue to improve. ”

Meng Ge said: "Carbin? Dr. Wright, he's a serious person, let's take a look. Everyone came to the testing ground, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons were competing with each other. Not only are carbines being tested and shot here, but other improved guns are also being tested and shot. When everyone came to the carbine test location, dozens of carbines were firing wildly, and bullet casings were all over the ground. Dr. Carbin and Wright found out that the Prime Minister had personally come to inspect and hurried to meet him.

"Carbine? Dr. Wright, how's it going? Meng Ge asked with a smile, obviously knowing each other well. 10 groups of 10 test firing, with an average of three jams per 10,000 rounds of ammunition, I did not agree with the military department's request to finalize the type. Meng Ge said: "Doctor, the Chinese are running out of time for us, and we must put it into mass production." I think that if you put it into production first, you can continue to improve, and we will continue to improve it in the manufacturing process. ”

Dr. Montgo's decision against Dr. Wright was not easy to object, but the gun officially entered mass production, for which the British Royal Arsenal put into dozens of production lines at one time, and began production day and night. During this period, the Americans organized experts to observe, and through the live-fire test, the Americans were even more urgent than the British, and immediately began to imitate carbines on a large scale in the United States. The Americans did not put in a few production lines, but 80 percent of the strong weapons production lines in the country were all imitation carbines.

The advent of fighter planes and carbines greatly increased the confidence of the United States and Britain in defeating the Chinese communist army. In particular, the firepower of individual soldiers has increased dozens of times, so the self-confidence of soldiers is also unprecedentedly high. With the advent of the fighter, as an old maritime hegemon, it was natural to think of the fighter for maritime operations. Because if Britain were attacked, the enemy would inevitably come from the sea, so the British first thought of launching an attack on the warships from land.

At a regular meeting of the British Admiralty that day, an admiral said: "Ladies and gentlemen, warplanes can take off on land and strike at warships at sea. Let's think about it another way, what kind of effect will it have if a fighter plane takes off from a battleship? When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but have a heated discussion. The results of the discussion are not to be repeated, and the British took the lead in laying down the idea of an aircraft carrier fleet.

The British thought that the Americans would naturally know that the feasibility of the aircraft carrier fleet fighting on the ocean was characterized by the top leaders of the United States and Britain as the best mode of future maritime operations. The United States and Britain have been more than 30 years ahead of later generations in terms of aircraft carrier combat mode, but in this time and space, since Deng Zixuan was born, no matter how hard the United States and Britain tried, in fact, their sad and failed fate had already been buried.
