Chapter 179: Stirring Up the Tide

After making eye contact with General Philo, Count Farmer looked at Charles and said lightly: "Count Charles, but if it's just a melee weapon, I won't take the liberty to visit, I'm interested in the kind of thing that Lord Fani said can make two hundred rounds of muskets not mute." ”

"Two hundred rounds are not dumb fire, I do have this kind of thing, I cooperated with Countess Moyano to build the XM Arsenal, there must be some unique products! Those mercenaries are very picky, if I can't make money, I can't pay off my debts!"

Charles leaned on the back of the couch, and lifted Erlang's legs as if he was not on the road, just now he saw the eyes of Philo and Farmor meet, and he no longer maintained any respect for the two of them in his irritation.

"Count Shire, if you can give that invention to the royal workshop, I may apply to His Majesty the King for a waiver of any part of your interest. Farmer took a sip of the black tea on the table, and generously said that he could save Charles a lot of money.

"Huh!"

Charles couldn't help but smile, and also picked up the teaglass, and looked down at the red tea and began to be distracted, as if he wanted to see a fairy daughter coming.

The five people in the living room were silent, Philo was watching Watcher, Farmel was watching Look, and Fani was watching Charles's distraction, and her eyes were flowing like she was fascinated by some handsome guy.

After most of the day, General Philo drank all the tea in his cup, and there were no idle people waiting in the living room, so naturally no one refilled his cup, and he couldn't hold his breath at first.

"Charles, in fact, in the past, I was very optimistic about the muskets of your Chevalier family factory, and I will purchase a lot of muskets every year, and you still have two orders that have not been completed this year, right? ”

General Philo felt that he had thrown up enough chips, but Charles simply didn't buy it.

What bullshit uncle, it's been so many days since Olive and I returned to Nasser, have you ever asked our brother and sister?

Now seeing that the thunder mercury fire cap I threw is valuable, I went straight to the door without saying hello, this kind of behavior made Charles deeply understand what it is for people to go to tea and cool, what is the cold and warm of the world, and as soon as the Marquis of Lorraine died, so many relationships are no longer relationships.

"Thank you, Uncle Philo, in fact, our XM Arsenal has no plans to produce military muskets for the time being, we want to start with civilian weapons, mainly to sell to ordinary people and those mercenaries, our muskets may not be as good as the muskets produced in the royal workshop in the eyes of the soldiers, but if they are sold to those mercenaries, they should not worry about selling!"

“.........”

Philo smiled wryly and stopped talking, he already felt Charles's alienation, he had lost his best chance by not showing up when Charles was in the most difficult time.

Now Charles has completely changed his attitude towards his aunt Adele, from the previous extreme resistance to active contact, and when the new military attache of the Legation of Pruss spoke to Charles alone for a few minutes in front of everyone that day, all forces in Florence thought that he had received reinforcements that could not be ignored.

And Charles's marriage, which has always been unfavorable, has also taken an unexpected turn, looking at the current attitude of the lord of Fani towards Charles, this kid may soon become one of the peripheral members of the royal family.

"Count Shire, we are here to say this because we have heard Fani's account, but neither I nor General Philo have seen anything like that, so many things are uncertain. Farmer couldn't hold back a little, and finally turned to the topic.

"I just made two rifles yesterday, why don't we go and have a look?"

Charles smiled, didn't the two old foxes come around my trap after going around for a long time?

A few minutes later, in the small range of the Marquis de Lorraine's palace, several people saw two muskets that Charles had just reconstructed.

It is said to be restructured, but in fact it is also completely new, but the firing device has been modified on the basis of the flintlock rifle of the Flintlock Rifle of the Flintlock Military of the Flanners, and the rest of the parts are completely copied as they are.

The flintlock pistol has a flint sandwiched on the hammer, and when the trigger is pulled, it will hit next to the fire hole, and the spark will ignite the gunpowder in the fire hole, so as to achieve the purpose of firing.

The musket modified by Charles is also fired with a hammer, but the flint is canceled on the hammer, and a primer pit is made at the position of the flintlock pistol to place the thunder mercury fire cap, and after the trigger is pulled, the hammer will hit the fire cap, and the thunder mercury explosives in the fire cap are fired, completing the process of igniting the gunpowder.

The firing rate and ignition effect of the mercury fire cap on gunpowder are far greater than the ignition mode of hitting sparks with flint, which is one of the important leaps in the history of rifle development.

Roy was already on the sidelines, handing Charles a rifle and the other in his own hand, acting as Charles' loader.

Charles raised his rifle and aimed at the target fifty meters away, and hit with a "snap".

"Bang Bang Bang"

Roy and Charles cooperated, and both of them reloaded and rotated at the same time, until the barrel of the gun was overheated.

General Philo and Count Farmer were no longer calm, although Charles did not shoot two hundred rounds per gun, but they really managed to fire without a single fire.

But they couldn't get their hands on the rifle and couldn't understand the details of it, except to see Charles put a small copper object into the barrel under the hammer, replacing it with each shot, and it was clear that this copper object was what they wanted.

"Fani, I remember that Count Charles used to be very resistant to rifles, why would he come up with such a good rifle now?"

When Farmer saw the excellent performance of this rifle, he always didn't believe that it was made by such a young man.

Fani shook her head and said she didn't know, but Charles in front of her heard this, and he threw down his rifle and said lightly.

"I used to hate rifles, but now I hate owing money even more! And I'm not the only one who hates rifles in the royal capital, but can they hinder the development of muskets?"

“............”

Both Philo and Farmer were a little stunned, the appearance of muskets did threaten the status of many people, such as the former king of the battlefield - cavalry.

But they still can't see who the muskets are ultimately threatening.

Flintlock pistols have appeared in this world, so the development of gunpowder weapons has been irreversible, with the rapid development of firearms, the knight class will eventually be completely knocked into the dust, and the structure of the entire society will be reshuffled.

Is the current royal family something that the Charles can fight against? How much wealth has been accumulated over the millennium? How many transcendents? Even if the Charles is a hanger, can he fight against an entire royal group?

So Charles finally decided to speed up the development of firearms, stir up the general trend of the world, and use the torrent of the development of the times to crush these stubborn old forces, anyway, it is better to follow the trend, occupy the position of the top of the wave, gain more advantages and accumulation, and then gather momentum to get back their own things.

"Charles, can you show us?" General Philo walked over and looked at the rifle in Charles' hand with a wistful look.

"Absolutely!"

Charles and Roy graciously handed the guns to the two men, but did not give them the fire caps.

Both Philo and Farmer were a little displeased, but Charles was quick to explain his reasons.

"I'm sorry Uncle Philo, the barrel is too hot, let's stop here today for the sake of safety! These two guns are trial products, and they are not perfect in many places, and after I improve them, they will be sold to the public, and I will definitely ask you and the people from the military department to guide and evaluate them when the time comes." ”

"Who are you going to sell this rifle to, Count Charles?" asked Count Farmer with a frown as he looked at the hammer structure of the rifle in his hand.

"Naturally, whoever pays more money will sell it to whomever it wants, mercenaries, Normans, Prussians, Lucernes, as long as the bid is high, it is not impossible to transfer patents. ”

“............”

"This kind of weapon can only be sold to the Florens! This kind of patent can only be in the hands of the Florens. Count Farmer put down his rifle and said very seriously.

"No, you can only sell to the Flensian soldiers!Charles, you are a Flensian, and it is your duty to protect the honor of Flens. General Philo then added, in an equally serious tone.

"The Flensians, it seems that the most unfriendly to me right now are the Flensians, but it is the foreigners who have helped me in my most difficult time, do you think it's funny?

Charles' laughter was a little cold, and both Philo and Farmer frowned as they finally realized that something was wrong with today's affairs, and that Charles was much more difficult than they thought.

"I can forgive you all interest, and besides, I am an old friend of Speaker Rodrich of the House of Lords, and I can give you some advice and help when you appeal to the council about certain matters in the future!"
