Episode 27 The Prototype of a Freak

After the first question was asked to Shen Rongxuan,.

"I'm a reporter for Le Figaro in Nanjing," a tall French reporter stood up and said directly in Chinese, "Your Royal Highness Princess Liaoyang, as we all know, you used to be the lord of the Manchu royal family, and now you are participating in the military campaign against the Manchus, what is your special feeling?" In addition, you turned out to be the supreme commander of the Sticky Pole Division, the secret service of the Qing Empire, did this identity play a vital role in this military operation? Or what kind of intelligence convenience is provided? Thank you. ”

After the French reporter asked, the hall was silent, and all the reporters were bowing their heads, ready to shorthand in their notebooks. All the photographers were ready to shine, and dozens of lenses were aimed at the fourteen grids on the stage.

Fourteen Gege was uncomfortable, his head bowed, leaning back in his chair, his hands on his knees, tugging at his gloves and skirt, his face gloomy, and from time to time he glanced up at the many reporters in front of him.

Every time you lift your eyes, there are several cameras below that glow brightly. She had never been through such a scene, her eyes were pierced by the spotlight, her brain was dizzy, and her heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out. I forgot all the coping words that Xiaoqiang had taught her, but her lips moved slightly, and she didn't know what to say.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the fourteen grids with some concern, but in front of everyone, he could only look at it at most.

There was a reporter at the bottom who took the opportunity to ask:

"Her Royal Highness Princess Liaoyang, I am a reporter from Jinling Daily, since you came to Daming, you have been living in seclusion and not accepting interviews, and today you suddenly attended a press conference, did you suffer from any pressure from the government or the royal family? Also, Your Majesty has said that you have the right not to accept all interviews, may I ask Your Highness the Princess, do you think this promise has any practical value? ”

"Your Royal Highness, I am a reporter from the New Century Daily," another reporter hurriedly asked, "Did you volunteer to become a senior official of the People's Guard?" Was it coercioned? Do you think the Ming government needs to take you out as a flag before you can hold an important position? ”

……

Although Xiang Xiaoqiang is accustomed to reading Daming's newspapers, which often laugh and scold the government and make fun of officials, he still sweats when he hears these bold questions. But judging from the reactions of other reporters and officials on stage, it is clear that this has become commonplace. Except for the fourteen squares on the stage, none of the officials on the stage looked offended. They just looked quite embarrassed, and they all looked at Fourteen Gege, hoping that she would quickly speak out and clarify.

Fourteen Gege lowered his head and sat in his chair, his face red and white, and simply closed his eyes, letting the magnesium light below stab him brightly.

Hundreds of reporters below were dissatisfied, and they all made a noise, stomping their feet and making noise.

Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't care about it, turned sideways, approached the fourteenth grid and whispered:

"Tell me...... According to the discussion, after you came to Daming, you felt the difference between Daming and Daqing, and felt that the real country should be like this...... plus the revenge of killing his father and destroying the family, so it's ......"

Seeing Xiang Xiaoqiang whispering instructions to Fourteen Gege, the reporters below were even more reluctant, and shouted one after another, asking for an interview with Fourteen Gege alone. At the same time, the magnesium light flashed intensively, and the sneaky image of Xiang Xiaoqiang lying in the ear of Fourteen Gege was suddenly ingested into the front-page photos of dozens of newspapers.

"Your Royal Highness, what are you?" One of the reporters shouted, "What about your princess, Her Majesty has not hung us like this!" ”

One sentence resonated with reporters, and more people shouted:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is Daming, not you Manchu! The rules are different! ”

"Are you bigger than Your Majesty?"

……

Fourteen Gege's chest heaved and heaved, and when he heard this last sentence, he arrogantly raised his chin and swept around, then stood up in the flash of "bang", snorted contemptuously, left his seat, and walked away.

The entire hall was stunned, and the hundred and ten people were staring at the temple door. The door of the main hall was empty, and only neat bluestone bricks, white marble guardrails, and the sky in the distance were seen.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang was extremely angry, but he didn't expect that Fourteen Gege had seen such a big person in the world, and he would play Laipi at this time, or in other words, he still didn't understand what the biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was.

But Xiang Xiaoqiang still stood up at the first time, comforted the reporter with a smile, and explained while saying good things that Princess Liaoyang was not putting on a show, she was really used to being low-key, and she was a little uncomfortable in the face of so many media......

Xiang Xiaoqiang sensitively captured the meaning of the fourteen grids brushing away - at least let the reporters understand with actions: no one in the entire Daming Kingdom can force her to do what she doesn't want. Even if Her Majesty the Empress is brought out, it is useless.

Alas, this is much more effective than a hundred explanations. I don't know if there was such a purpose in her when she left.

It is estimated that Fourteen Gege will be named "the most unique princess in the world" by the media.

In the next press conference, Shen Rongxuan and Xiang Xiaoqiang became the protagonists.

The reporters asked a lot of questions one after another. Among them, politics and diplomacy were answered by Shen Rongxuan and the two ministers. If it involves military affairs, Xiang Xiaoqiang and the two commanders will answer. Perhaps in order to make up for the dissatisfaction caused by the exit of the 14 grids to the media, the officials on the stage were very cooperative, and as long as they did not involve confidentiality, they tried their best to answer any questions perfectly.

I don't know what's going on, after the fourteen grids left, Xiang Xiaoqiang was relaxed, as if he was in the best state. Many very tricky and sharp questions, he solved them one by one with a smile.

The press conference did not end until noon.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the headquarters and wanted to talk to Fourteen Gege and comfort her. But as soon as Xiuxiu saw him, she greeted him and whispered:

"My lord, the people from the Refining Edge are here again, and they have brought an improved version of the L-36."

"Huh? What about people? ”

"In the waiting room."

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a while and said:

"Yes, please."

"Yes."

Lian Feng did what he said, saying that he would send the improved version of the sample gun within half a month, and sure enough, it was completed on the ninth day. The representative who sent the sample gun was still the same Zhao Quanrui last time. Seeing him smile this time, he looked very confident. Xiang Xiaoqiang had a good hunch that the improved submachine gun might be good.

The gun box was opened, and inside lay a submachine gun with a dark metallic color. It looks the same as last time, but it feels a little different. How to say it, it's that this time the metallic feeling is stronger, cold and gloomy, and there is a feeling of cold and pressing.

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't take it out, but first slowly stroked it with his hand on the gun, feeling the real difference. The materials are different in several places. The last time I touched it, it looked like aluminum in most places, but this time I really felt it, steel.

He lifted the gun out of the box and slid it in his hand, feeling a little heavier than the last time, but not too much. The barrel is a little thicker. This is evident.

Xiang Xiaoqiang took the submachine gun, made a few gestures in the office, made a few aiming and flat-end movements, and carried the strap on his shoulder, then pulled out the magazine and plugged it in. It feels good and solid, and it doesn't have the feeling that it will shake slightly like last time.

"How?"

He asked.

Zhao Quanrui said with a smile:

"Without the magazine of 3.49 kilograms, plus the live magazine, the whole gun weighs 4.14 kilograms."

Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered that he explained to them last time that the weight of the improved version should not exceed 3.5 kilograms. Now the weight they make is actually 3.49 kilograms, which can be said to be stuck with the upper limit of the demand. He couldn't help but sigh, these designers are all ghosts!

The weight of the gun increased by 0.47 kg. Although the weight gain is limited, the overall feeling is much more solid. I don't know if it's a psychological effect.

Xiang Xiaoqiang felt that if the heat dissipation performance of the gun was greatly improved by this live firing, then this L36 would be a classic weapon. As a military-standard weapon, this is perfect.

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded, and ordered to invite Wang Hexiang's advisor, take Xiuxiu and a police guard, and drive to the shooting range of the Xiaolingwei People's Guard with Zhao Quanrui.

……

On the shooting range, Xiang Xiaoqiang personally shot four magazines, a total of 120 rounds of ammunition, the barrel was of course very hot, but the front of the magazine was no longer so hot. And the white smoke emitted by the bolt and barrel is also much less. Significantly better than last time the heat dissipation.

Wang Hexiang examined the gun repeatedly with the eyes of an arms expert, and finally glanced at Xiang Xiaoqiang, smiled and nodded.

"Okay," Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and patted Zhao Quanrui on the shoulder, "This gun and the new drawings should be put here first, and when Qi Shunfa's things are delivered, if your things are not compared to them, it will be yours." ”

Zhao Quanrui saw that Xiang Xiaoqiang and Wang Hexiang were quite satisfied, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. As for rival Qi Shunfa, he is not too worried. The L36 designed by his company has obviously won the appreciation of Party A, and it can be said that it is relatively balanced and perfect in all aspects. In small arms shooting, good works are often hard to come by, and the chances of good works appearing are inherently low. The probability of two masterpieces being placed on the first side at the same time can only be lower.

In addition, Lian Feng also has commercial spies in Qi Shunfa, according to some intelligence, Qi Shunfa's submachine gun shooting has not been smooth, and it has been changed again and again, and now it has almost become a monster. It's strange that the People's Guard can take a fancy to it. There is confidence in Lianfeng, and the day Qi Shunfa's sample gun is sent is when the order belongs to Lianfeng.

……

Qi Shunfa Military Industrial Company.

In the workshop, the boss stared at the first sample gun that had just been cared, and then stared at the chief designer in front of him, feeling like crying without tears.

For several months, the company designed, modified, redesigned, and revised...... The more you change, the more outrageous it becomes, and the more you change, the more you go crazy. Until now, seeing that the Lian Feng has sent two sample guns in a row, and he will not send them again, and seeing that the large orders are about to miss him, he has become a live horse doctor and made the first sample gun.

The boss picked up the long, heavy, slow rate of fire, non-compliant caliber, and complex structure of the "monster" in front of him, pulled the shot, and really wanted to kill the designer in front of him.

This...... None of these can meet Commander Xiang's requirements!

But the chief designer in front of him, the bald head, the unkempt white hair on both sides, and the old man who looks like Einstein, still admires this "monster" very much and has always highly recommended it. He used to design small arms that was simply genius, how did he become a fool this time?

"Look," Einstein smiled as he touched his precious creation, "although this gun weighs 4.5 kilograms empty, although it has a theoretical rate of fire of only 450 rounds per minute, although it is almost all cutting parts, and the structure is very complicated, and the cost is very high, although it is said to be 9 mm, I made 7 mm, although it is ......"

"That's it!! That's enough!! The boss was so angry that he was about to convulse, slapped the table, and couldn't bear it, "Just say 'but'!" Does this thing have any merit? ”

"Yes!"

"Albert Einstein" stared at him and said categorically:

"It has a very long range and very high accuracy! It's more accurate than all the submachine guns in the world! ”

The boss's chest hurt angrily, and he waved his hand:

"Okay, you don't have to say it, aren't you talking about light machine guns...... People want submachine guns, and you got a light machine gun for a few months......"

The chief designer shook his head again and said categorically:

"This is not a light machine gun! It's much lighter than a light machine gun! ”

"Then what do you say you are?" The boss sneered, "Anyway, don't fool me into saying it's a submachine gun!" ”

"It's a ...... It's a halfway between a submachine gun and a light machine gun! ”

The boss couldn't bear it anymore:

"Just such a question, a lot of meaning? Don't talk about the battlefield, just on the shooting range can shoot 200 rounds without problems, then thank God...... You're just garbage. ”
