When all the recruits entered the room, Ted let go of his frowning brow, put his right hand on the railing, turned his head to look at Chris, and raised his left hand to the barracks not far away: "I said... Is this really possible? ”

Chris shrugged his shoulders, turned to look directly at Ted, and responded seriously, "I don't know, but it should work!" ”

As a very reliable person, Chris has always believed in one point of view!

That is, people's energy is limited, and it is impossible to master everything, even if they have an infinite lifespan like a moon elf or a dragon, there is no way to learn everything.

Over time, the memory will change from mastery of one item to mastery of two, and by the time of the third item, the mastery of the first item will be lost.

Therefore, it is the most correct choice to leave professional things to professional people.

No one in history has ever mastered all the knowledge in the world! Knowledge is always increasing, but the brain has only so much capacity.

Besides, this in itself is an unrealistic thing, after all, after all these years, the dragons are still the same, as powerful as Francis does not know how to calculate the addition and subtraction of more than 100.

For them, their own strength is strong enough, and compared to the improvement of their abilities brought by science and technology, it is better to grow 2 taels more.

What scientific breeding, what greenhouse planting, it is better to hide in the hole and sleep!

But... Dragons' brains, if used, would be better than these small creatures.

But... With such a big brain, the power consumption is also very large, and it is possible to think about a problem for an hour, and you will eat a meal in vain! So if you think about something, forget it, lying flat is the best choice.

These simple truths seem simple, but few people can really understand and implement them!

Just like Brother Mars's dance, every movement seems to be very simple, but if you change to another person, connect the movements, and no matter how you twist your body, you can't reproduce the appearance of begging for a beating.

Thinking about this, Chris put away his notebook and continued to respond seriously: "My lord, it's still the same sentence, professional things are left to professional people to do, and our task is very simple, that is, to screen out those who are like-minded with us and obey our orders, and give them the task to do!" ”

"You... That's right..."

Ted let out a long breath, reached out and gently patted the railing in front of him, and only continued after a while: "It seems that I don't need to grasp everything in my own hands, I have to let it go..."

In this regard, it is difficult for Chris not to support: "Yes, it is already very laborious to screen qualified talents, and I hardly slept for a while in order to screen out those who are really willing to serve the people." ”

...

After the emotion, just as the two were about to change the topic and continue chatting, a snoring sound came, and Steve fell asleep...

"Whew..."

It's not the same as the way ordinary people snore, normal people snore when they inhale, and Steve... He didn't move when he inhaled, but made a sound as he exhaled.

It's like a low-profile version of the motorcycle bombing the street, and it sounds very rhythmic...

Ted turned his head sideways, listened to the thunder echoing in the room, and couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Such thunder... How did Vachena stand it? ”

I can't care about it that much now, because it's not a good place to sleep, if Steve just falls asleep here... It's not easy to get cold from the cold!

So, Ted quietly approached Steve, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered, "Steve! We're going to the shooting range! If you're tired, talk about it tomorrow! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Steve immediately woke up, he hurriedly got up, put on his hat, and said with sleepy eyes: "I'm not tired, let's go, let's go now!" ”

Right now, Steve has only two hobbies, and then it's about seeing these weird things...

Since Steve doesn't plan to go home, Ted has to take them to his arsenal~

"Then come with me, don't forget to put on your earplugs, we have a semi-open-air range to test weapons, but it's still loud..."

"Don't worry, I've got a few pairs!"

Being infected by Steve, Ted was also a little tired, he opened his mouth wide and stretched, put on his coat and turned his head to signal Steve: "Then let's go..."

According to the previous agreement, Chris was not invited to the shooting range, because he was only responsible for people's livelihood and development, and he had no right to intervene in the military field.

It's just that it's just a weapon, a man's toy, not military, at best it's relaxing.

"Chris, if you don't have anything to do in the afternoon, come along!"

"No problem, my lord, I just wanted to see how this weapon differs from our traditional swords..."

So far, Chris has only heard of this kind of thing, and has not really felt the power of this thing, and now, he has time, and he has been invited by the lord... If you miss it again, I don't know how long it will take...

Dressed in their coats, led by Ted, the group crossed the main road and headed towards the shooting range.

...

Twenty minutes later, Ted took his own key, entered through the back door of the shooting range, and led the two of them to his arsenal~

Due to the upgrade of technology, the price of some items in the system has decreased a lot, and Ted has also taken this opportunity to expand his arsenal.

Merely... Star Coin was still a little nervous, so there weren't many weapons mounted in the glass display case.

Ted only barely collected the weapons that appeared on Earth in World War II.

Of course, the scope of collection is limited to American weapons, Soviet weapons and German weapons, as for the equipment of the little Yaga, those weapons designed against humanity, as long as the brain is a little normal, they will be replaced by others!

Unless Ted didn't have a choice, he wouldn't have chosen Hachiga's equipment.

Just as he walked into his armory, before the door could be locked, someone knocked from the outside, followed by a familiar voice...

"Are you there, my lord? I'm John, and I'd like to ask you to borrow some weapons..."

As soon as he heard the 'borrowing' weapon, Ted knew something about it.

Not long ago, John came to his office with all the members of the weapons department to ask for a sample of the firearm, and Ted gave them the Thomson submachine gun.

The results did not disappoint, and in just a few days, the group was able to produce this complex firearm...

Compared with drawings, samples bring more efficient R&D and production help.

John was a firearms designer, and he also had the right to enter the range to see the results of other people's tests. So... Whenever Ted walked towards the barracks, John from the city would follow him all the way inside the barracks.

Now that he knew who was outside, Ted smiled and raised his hand to pull the door open!

Along with the other students... However, at the current level, they are already considered 'firearms designers'!

As for why...

Back then, Kalashnikov couldn't even make drawings, let alone use vernier calipers, but with the help of workers, he was able to make a gun on his own.

"My gunsmiths, you're coming with me again?"

"Yes, yes!" John did not euphemistically state the result, but directly stated his actions as they were.

Compared with the green face before, after being boarded by the moon elf beauty, it also showed some maturity and stability, at least not as reckless as before...

Since he is here to borrow a weapon, it is necessary for Ted to ask clearly, "What weapon are you going to borrow here?" And what to do? ”

But the witty John did not answer directly, but first stated the main purpose of his coming here: "My lord, because our technology is mature, the lathes have also been replaced with a batch of new ones, and then... Last time you asked us to make a weapon, we brought! Merely... There is no way to get bullets without your stamp..."

"So... It is... We want to test it now! But the military range is all for shooting training, and there is no empty space, so we have our eyes on the location of your private range..."

Hearing this, Ted couldn't help laughing, and turned sideways to signal everyone to come in: "Come in, let me see what you've made..."

"Come on, let's all move in!" With a wave of his hand, another group of trainees hiding around the corner pushed the cart to Ted's range...

I thought there were only a few sample guns, but I didn't expect... Ted was stunned by what had arrived.

"You can make things at a fast pace!"

"Of course, sir! These are made according to the samples, we took out a few qualified samples, and came to try them. ”

"That's right—" Ted stroked the beard that grew slightly from his chin and pulled a key out of his pocket.

"In the future, when I test weapons, I'll just use my range, and as for the bullets... I'll tell you about the Ammunition Administration, every time you come, you'll be accompanied by an Ammunition Administrator to provide you with ammunition..."

Hearing that someone was watching, John put on a mask of pain and said, "My lord, don't you... We've all passed the firearms test, and we're going to have to have someone with us..."

Ted shook his head and refused bluntly, he pointed to the weapon on the side and said his thoughts: "The gun can be tested by you, and the bullet needs to be guarded more closely, but... I should indeed build a small shooting range next to the weapons research institute for you to test your weapons..."

Thinking of something to be dealt with immediately, Ted turned to look at Chris, and said, "My dear butler, make a note and build them a small shooting range for testing." ”

"Understood!" Chris reluctantly took his eyes off the delicate submachine gun in front of him, took out his notebook and wrote down the new mission notebook...

To inspect what the crowd had made, Ted turned to the cart and removed all the curtains from it.

At the moment when the last curtain was removed, a big baby with a heavy sleeve! Shining with golden light! Appear in everyone's field of vision!

When Ted saw such a weapon, his confidence instantly increased a lot! He touched the steel body in front of him and drooled unassailing! I couldn't help but admire: "You guys are amazing... Did you get this thing out? ”

I thought it was just some rifles or submachine guns, but what Ted didn't expect was... John actually made a heavy machine gun based on his own sample firearm...

In order to prepare for future battles, John shifted the order of development of other models of firearms backwards, and the development of this heavy machine gun was the highest priority.

And this... It was not Ted's original intention, but a suggestion written by Mill after reading the book "The Art of Modern Warfare", based on his own ideas and experiences...

Because a real army, it is not enough to have rifles, it should also be equipped with heavy firepower and artillery!

In the case of heavy machine guns, they can be put into service with only a small number of tests, and little by little they can be modified and corrected in battle.

As for the mortar, the samples have already been prepared and are being tested by professionals, but it will have to wait a month before they can be officially equipped for the troops.

Ted pointed to the machine gun in front of him, motioned for the others to lift it up and put it in a window for testing, and asked, "John, can you tell me why you chose this model?" ”

This question is difficult for John: "My lord, there is a reason why I chose this weapon, first of all, because the ammunition used in the M1917 Browning water-cooled heavy machine gun is the same as the rifle bullet we use now, it is .3006, unified ammunition can save a lot of costs, it will not cause a burden on the production line, we don't have to spend extra effort to research other caliber ammunition in a short time..."

As an initial modern army, the most important thing to pay attention to is the problem of ammunition, if it is not possible to achieve universal ammunition, the pressure on logistics will only increase, and the rhythm of war will also be dragged down.

"Okay, I'll leave 2 windows for you to test, and the remaining window, I'll test some things myself."

"No problem, my lord!"

After doing this, Ted turned to look at Chris: "You haven't passed the basics yet, so you can take a look first, and then you can get started when you pass the test." ”

"Of course, I know this, I'll check it out when I have time..."

Firearms hadn't been mass-equipped, and Ted hadn't planned to make them available to the public for the time being, but before that time, a strict set of weapons controls had been put in place.

If there were only humans in this world, Ted would definitely have issued a gun ban...

Merely... Humans are not the only ones in this world! If you only rely on cold weapons, it is difficult for humans to compete with magical creatures, and when you encounter a larger humanoid creature, the weapon in your hand will not be able to cause damage to it...

A tall, heavily armored troll soldier can go back and forth with 20 human knights, and in the end, the humans may not be able to win.

When there is no superiority in all aspects, it is really not wise for humans to abandon their weapon superiority and go hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Besides, you never know which comes first, disaster or tomorrow!

It is the best way to let the people keep a certain amount of weapons and strengthen control, because this group of monsters will emerge underground or in the forest at some point, so it is not too much to strengthen prevention!

With a hard and fierce weapon in his hand, even if God comes, people can fight him!

...

Right now, in the first shooting window, because Steve had completed part of the test a long time ago, he could get started with someone unattended.

Looking at the delicate weapon in front of him, Steve couldn't help but give it a try!

"I said, Ted, can you give me these weapons?"

As he spoke, he picked up a Thomson submachine gun, hung up his strap, and put it inside his coat...

Steve is not a skinny little fresh meat, a little worse than Ted, but he is also a macho man, one of the few normal products produced by the marriage of close relatives.

It is said that among the princes, only the second prince and the fifth prince are normal people, and the others either have bad legs or are missing a few fingers...

Ted opened his arms and bowed to Steve, "As long as you pass the final test, you can take it, but... I remember you're missing the last item of your test..."

"Yes, about the psychological test, there is one item I have taken twice, and I still fail..."

The purpose of the psychological test is to prevent the gun owner from acting excessively to ordinary people, if there is a problem with the psychological test, it means that Steve may not be suitable for gun ownership...

Still, driven by curiosity, Ted asked, "Which question?" I'll help you analyze it, because I came up with that set of questions..."

"You're out?" Steve's nostrils widened, he rolled his eyes at Ted and spat out loudly, "Question 72, about personal defense." ”

Ted remembered this question, and according to later statistics, he also knew that most of the test subjects had stumbled on this question, but the reason for not passing it was not because the test subject was too violent, but because he was too gentle!

A set of qualified test questions should not only make a fuss about the upper limit, but also control the offline to protect their own safety!

"Oh? What's your answer? ”

Steve put down his weapon and turned his head to respond seriously: "What do you do after holding a weapon on the other side and being threatened?" My answer was to fire a warning shot to make the other side give up the attack..."

"What?" Ted was stunned, he thought that this prince should be a little cruel, but he didn't expect his question and answer to be so gentle!

Since the prince's psychology is not violent, he can indeed give some hints.

"Steve, I can tell you that your answer is too gentle, and that doing so will only increase the risk for yourself, because it is a stranger who is attacking you, and when he rushes at you with a weapon, you don't know if he is really going to kill you or if he wants to capture you alive."

"But no matter which one you are, you should not be so gentle, and besides, if you risk your own life to influence the enemy, I can only say that you are truly a virgin..."

Steve didn't understand what Ted meant, he picked up a magazine, played with it in his hand for a while, and then put him in Ted's hand, wondering, "I thought you would say I was kind?" ”

"Kindness?" Ted was stunned, he turned around and shook his head, took the thirty-round magazine and responded: "Being kind to oneself is kindness, and kindness to one's enemies is the Virgin!" Someone on the other side with a weapon who wants to hack you to death, and you're feeling sorry for your enemy? Hope the gun is fired to stop the other side!? ”

"But... In case that person is an ally..."

Ted collapsed... He shook his head helplessly, took out a mirror and slammed it in Steve's face: "I said Steve, why would your allies attack you?" Everyone in the whole country knows your face, who will mistake you? ”

Steve's portraits are all over the city, and as one of the few normal people in the royal family, it is necessary to show majesty on behalf of the royal family! So most people recognize Steve.

"That's right... So what do you say to do? ”

"It's an exam question, you need to think for yourself..."

"This..."

Just as I was thinking about it, the alarm bell rang in the distance!

"Suzu! Bell! Bell! - Bell bell! ”

Three rings represent an enemy attack with 500~1000 people! Two successive beeps represent an enemy attack from the south of the city.

Judging by the speed of discovery, the enemy is still some distance from Valentine ...

"Damn, who could it be? At a time like this? Ted turned to his side and thought, he couldn't guess what would be the thing that would come to his own trouble at such a time...

"Could it be... A beast in the forest south of Valentine? ”

The bell has just rang and a shrill whistle followed!

All the soldiers who can use guns are divided into two ways according to the rehearsal plan, one part stays in place to prevent the enemy from using tactics to move away from the mountain, and the other part immediately takes a truck to the place of the incident!

"Shall we not take a look?" Steve picks out a suitable weapon and fills the magazine for Ted's instructions.

Ted has played interstellar, played Warcraft 3, and knows a little strategic and tactical information, but there is no God's perspective here, and his experience is useless, so it is better to let those experienced officers deal with it: "No need, we are not going anywhere, I believe that my soldiers will solve the trouble, at most 1000 enemies, not enough to worry about..."

With that, Ted continued to explain the weapon, and the gunsmith next to him continued to test the weapon, not taking the threat seriously at all.

Even if the soldiers can't handle it, they can get the dragons who are working to come back and protect the city!

Since there will be no safety problems in the city, then do what you have to do: "Continuing with your question, I can explain it to you, because your answer is mild, and I can indeed give you some hints." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pistol and aimed it at a target in the distance...

"Bang...", because the .45acp bullet does not have enough penetrating ability, so the warhead is embedded in the plank.

"Have no mercy on the enemy! There are times when your bullets can't kill an enemy in one hit, and it's too dangerous for you to check on the situation when you're not dead on the other side, especially if you don't know how to fight..."

After saying this, Ted took Steve's weapon, loaded the magazine, unfastened the safe, pulled the bolt, pulled the trigger on the target in front of him, and did not let go...

The firing pin struck the primer again and again, spewing out tongues of fire like demons escaping from the gates of hell, stretching out their claws to tear apart the planks in front of them.

One after another, metal peanuts were nailed to the target, and the splashed sawdust was filled with smoke and dust, gradually covering the entire target...

The attack came to a halt as the last metal shells landed.

The magazine was emptied, Ted had a flat expression, pointed to the target not far away, looked back at Steve, and asked, "Now, do you understand?" ”

Ted almost threw the answer in Steve's face, and if he didn't understand it, his brain could be cut off and kicked as a ball!

"You're saying that if I encounter an enemy, I should empty the magazine, not fire a warning shot, and not just knock the opponent down?"

"Correct! Not only do you have to empty the magazine, but you also have to reload, approach the enemy and replenish your guns to make sure he's dead! ”

At this point, Ted unloaded the empty magazine and put his weapon away: "Treat your own people, as a leader, you can scatter all your wealth to help them, but you should not have a trace of mercy for the enemy, not even a little, not a little!" ”

After listening to this explanation, Steve understood what Ted meant, that is, when it was time for the Virgin, he must establish a good image! When dealing with the people, a temporary loss will not affect the future, but with the enemy, it is necessary to empty the magazine and make up a few shots.

"I see, have I passed the psychological test?"

Ted took out the maintenance kit, disassembled the weapon, and maintained it little by little: "Of course not, because I leaked the exam questions, and the second one will be used tomorrow, and you will face new problems, but as long as you hold the current mentality, there should be no problem if you pass the test..."

"In that case, I'll make a reservation, can this Thomson be given to me after I pass the exam?"

"Of course, I can also send you a pistol and body armor..."

"Do what you say!"

"Of course!"

Steve handed over all his possessions and control of the Chamber of Commerce to Ted, and it would be a bit too stingy for Ted to wrestle with some weapons...

In addition, Steve has to return to the imperial city after the spring, without the protection of the north, he also has to have a way to defend himself, if he only uses a sword, Steve will most likely give it in vain, it is better to give him the weapon and then teach him how to use it.

A few days ago, before Steve was out of the place, Ted had roughly made up the scene where the assassins assassinated him.

According to his own speculation, coupled with the picture once described by Sir Leonardo da Vinci, the empire will be in a panic due to the food crisis, and the princes will also take advantage of the chaos to pave the way for their future.

If Steve is gone, his future plans will not be easy... Only when Steve becomes the emperor of the [Snow Man Empire] can the future plan be implemented well!

As for Steve's Madonna Heart, Ted still has a month to teach him, but he can't do it, so he leaves the task to Wachena and asks her to train it...

For Ted, it is impossible to attack the enemy with only one bullet! If he could really rush forward with a water-cooled mac like Superman on the battlefield, he would definitely use up an entire chain of bullets before examining the corpses of the enemy.

...

Outside the city, 36 soldiers from the north arrived south of Valentine in trucks with weapons.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, the soldiers guarding the tower put down their spears and shouted below: "Eh, are you here like this?" ”

"It's okay, just tell us where the enemy is, we have new weapons!"

The soldiers on the city walls didn't know the power of the new weapon, but according to their former comrades, the burning stick could defeat a hundred enemies, and dozens of people working together could even repel an infantry regiment!

Since the soldiers below are so confident, the soldiers on the city wall do not intend to admonish: "The enemy is a greenskin, and every ten years they come to plunder our village, but now we have no village, so we have the idea of the city!" ”

"They," Captain Joseph shook his head, gave a thumbs up to the soldiers on the ramparts, and then returned to the inside of the truck.

"Brothers, the enemy who came is green-skinned and has a big physique, as long as your hands don't tremble, you can hit it, and by the way, we will also avenge the villagers who died more than ten years ago!"

"No problem!"

To the south of the northern border is a primeval forest, and it is said that no one has ever been able to get out of it safely! There are many monsters and beasts hidden there, and even these disgusting green-skinned creatures.

They will come to human villages to plunder food when there is a shortage of food! If they don't find food, they will even skin and eat humans!

As for why they were not recorded, it was because in the eyes of humans, these green skins riding on wolves were essentially no different from wild beasts, so they were not regarded as intelligent creatures.

Most of the times when they are attacked, they are recorded as 'attacked by wild beasts'.

But... Feng Shui takes turns, and now that the north has a new weapon, the suffering suffered back then will definitely be doubled.

But humans don't eat greenskin... Because the meat of the green skin looks very woody, even if it is used for stew, it can't be cooked!

"Everyone, listen up, against this group of enemies with swords, we will fight quickly, we will be accurate, we will fight for half an hour! You can go back and catch afternoon tea! Joseph looked back at the truck's abundant ammunition, not a little daunted.

The same goes for the soldiers around you!

Ted took this into account when choosing the bullet model.

In addition to humans, there are all kinds of large humanoids in this world. Small-caliber munitions with a small charge are difficult to effectively kill these organisms.

But .3006 solves this problem perfectly, not just humans, but also humanoids one size larger.

The kinetic energy of 3600 joules is enough to inflict fatal injuries on them!

"All the bullets are pressed, I say fire! Shoot the bullet out in 2 seconds and catch them off guard! Go back and get rewarded according to your achievements! Don't steal heads! ”
