"Migne, we're going to be developed! Do you know? We're going to be developed...... My God! I never thought I'd be here one day! Oh! My Virgin Mary! ”

In a reception room at the Élysée Palace, Henry. Gustav. Captain de Wickner excitedly got up and looked at the ornaments in the reception room and paced back and forth, muttering repeatedly words like "We want to be developed", for an ordinary French captain to be invited into the Élysée Palace, it was a great honor for an ordinary French captain to be invited into the Élysée Palace!

"Migne, did you hear me!" Xu was sitting in the chair of the middle-aged man did not respond because of the reason that Henry. Gustav. Captain Dwickene was a little upset, and his tone became aggressive.

Claude sitting in a large blue flower brocade seat on a gray background. Edierne. Migne looked up at Henry, who was spinning endlessly. After Gustav glanced at it, his words revealed a little dissatisfaction: "I hear, Captain Gustav, can you be quiet for a while!" ”

Captain Migne's words made Captain Gustav a little displeased, he was born in a vulgar family, and he looked down on Captain Migne's behavior a little, obviously he was a captain, why are you pretentious.

"Good! I'll be quiet! Gustav muttered angrily, but there was no intention of stopping at all, scurrying back and forth in the reception room, one moment the portrait hanging in the reception room was praised, and the other time he stroked the fine porcelain from the Eastern Empire placed in the corner of the reception room, which was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Captain Migne, seated in his chair, quietly pondered the next conversation with the President, occasionally placing the things he carried in his handkerchief in the palm of his hand.

It wasn't until the door of the reception room was opened from the outside, that Captain Migne and Captain Gustav stopped what they were holding at the same time, that Migne put the handkerchief back in his arms, and Gustav carefully put the porcelain back in its original position.

Under the joint gaze of Captain Gustav and Captain Migne, Jérôme. Bonaparte appeared in front of the two men, and Migne also got up to meet Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Gustav and Migne and asked, "May I ask which of you is Claude. Edierne. Migne? Which one is Henry again? Gustav. Captain De Wickine? ”

Before Migne could reply, Gustav hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand in front of him and enthusiastically addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced: "Your Excellency, I am Gustav! ”

Then he pointed to Migne and introduced: "He is Migne!" ”

"I heard that you have created an epoch-making product that can change the entire history of the infantry!" Jérôme. Bonaparte boasted to Captain Gustav and Captain Migne.

Although the Minne bullet and the Minne rifle are indeed the pinnacle of the front-loading gun, the peak of the Minne rifle has only lasted for nearly 16 years.

In the Austro-Prussian War, the defeat of Austria heralded the fact that breech-loading guns were far more important than breech-loading guns, and the Minérgy rifle was falling at a rapid pace.

France, as the birthplace of the Minérgy rifle, was fully equipped with Chasebo rifles in every army in just four years after the end of the Austro-Prussian War.

However, the nearly one million Shasebo rifles did not allow the Second Reich to win the Franco-Prussian War, and many troops were captured not long after they got a Chasebo rifle, and the million Shasebo rifles quickly ended in the first battle of their debut.

After the popularization of the symbol, France, which had developed a more stable breech gun, once again abandoned the Chasebo rifle, and many rifles were given to Russia in the form of half-selling and half-giving away.

It can be said that the Migne rifle and the Chasebo rifle are two products born at an untimely time.

"Your Excellency, you are right!" Captain Gustav preemptively spoke before Captain Migne could speak: "Our bullets allow soldiers to reload faster!" ”

After speaking, Captain Gustav said to Captain Migne in the tone of the host: "Captain Migne, quickly show that thing to His Excellency the President!" ”

Migne glanced at Captain Gustav, his eyes full of disdain, in his opinion, Captain Gustav was too keen to show himself to the president, which would only be disgusted by the president.

Sure enough, Jérôme. Bonaparte's face showed a look of displeasure, and he said coldly: "Mr. Gustav, could you please be quiet for a while!" ”

Seeing this, Captain Gustav did not dare to continue to show himself.

Gustav's forcible title gave Captain Migne the opportunity to "show off", and he again pulled out the red handkerchief and said to Jérôme. Bonaparte respectfully invited: "Your Excellency, will you sit here?" ”

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately hurried to Captain Migne.

Captain Gustav also had to follow Jérôme. Bonaparte came to the gold-lacquered snail table.

Migne gently unfolded the handkerchief, which contained a bullet wrapped in a round head with a silvery metallic sheen.

"Your Excellency, this is our invention in Algiers!" Migne's tone was slightly agitated to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, and from his tone it was clear that Captain Migne was still quite confident in his invention.

"That's right!" Gustav interjected.

"Captain Migne, can you explain to me what is so wonderful about this bullet?" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and placed the silver bullet on his handkerchief between his thumb and forefinger and examined it carefully.

Although he had seen Minie Bullets on some websites, this was the first time he had ever touched it.

The Minne bullet is cylindrical with a round head, several ring-shaped grooves in the outer ring, and a conical cavity at the bottom of the bomb, which is stuffed with a concave cork, which looks like a hint of the meaning of the metal fixed ammunition of later generations, but it is one size smaller than the length and caliber of the metal fixed ammunition of later generations, which looks a little weird.

"Your Excellency, it is set up to be slightly smaller than the caliber of the breech, so that the soldier can reload it in the fastest possible time, and if this is the case, the bullet cannot be aimed, but this bullet is different......," Captain Migne pointed to the cork in the cavity at the bottom of the round-nosed bullet and said to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "When firing, the gunpowder gas forces the plug in the cavity into the cavity to support the bullet, and the bullet expands and engages to form a powerful gas seal, and the bullet rotates and flies out of the chamber under the pressure of the rifling, and the accuracy is greatly improved."

We have tested the performance of this bullet in Algiers, its effective range can be about twice that of ordinary bullets, ordinary bullets will lose their accuracy at a range of 200 meters, and Migne bullets can still accurately hit the enemy at a range of 500 meters! ”

"500 meters! We could have killed the enemy before they even found us! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and sighed.

"That's right! This will greatly increase the combat capabilities of the army! "Captain Gustav gave his opinion at the right time.

"But can this bullet you designed be used on the rifles of the existing troops in France?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

Migne was silent for a moment, and then spoke cautiously: "Your Excellency, I think the French army should consider redesigning a rifle!" ”

Then he added: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion!" In fact, this bullet can also be used in existing rifles in France, as long as the rifle is adjusted. However, in this case, the range may be reduced! ”

"Captain Migne, you must have figured out the weapons you need to carry this rifle!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Migne.

"Your Excellency, the traditional smoothbore rifle cannot meet the needs of bullets, we need a new rifled gun! Although I can't deliver the physical thing to you right now, I promise you that I will design a new rifle for you and your country as soon as possible! "Captain Migne solemnly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Your Excellency, I will assist Captain Migne in setting it up!" Captain Gustav also hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the Migne bullet in his hand, and then at Captain Migne, he believed that Captain Migne would not let him down, he pretended to hesitate for a moment and then nodded: "Okay! Captain Migne, I believe in your abilities! ”

"Thank you for your trust in me, Your Excellency!" Migne excitedly to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

For Migne, a military enthusiast, being able to set up a rifle himself is undoubtedly the greatest recognition for him.

"Captain Migne, Captain Gustav! What do you want? Money or room for advancement? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Captain Migne and Captain Gustav.

"I ......" Captain Migne, who had just spat out a word, was silent, and he didn't know what choice to make.

Captain Gustav was equally silent, his heart longing for money, but he knew that some things were up to Captain Migne, and the president didn't seem to have a particularly good sense of him.

"Since you two haven't figured it out yet, why don't you listen to my advice!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the two who were silent.

Captain Migne and Captain Gustav nodded at the same time.

"Actually, your patent can be said to be an epoch-making design, but you should know that in these days, there are all kinds of imitations everywhere, as long as it is easy to use, those guys will use it with peace of mind!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and told the two of them "reality".

In the 19th century, when intellectual property law was not perfect, it was impossible to get an epoch-making weapon or invention on the ground, and why bother to pay users patent fees if they could steal.

If it is a hostile country, it can be copied in a grand manner under the banner of hostility.

"The first option is that I can pay each of you 30,000 francs, and the patents for the rifle and bullet you designed will belong to me! In the second option, I will pay you 5,000 francs for each of you and transfer you to the Ministry of War. ”
