Chapter 816 Lorenz Rifle
Entrance to the forest on the outskirts of Vienna.
Jérôme. The three Bonaparte, the Count of Gnell and the Austrian Imperial cavalry who followed him dismounted.
"Alright, you guys just stay here!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to him as he handed the reins to the Count of Gnaire.
"But Your Majesty, I am worried about ......," said Count Gnell with a worried look on his face to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
Before Count Gnell could finish speaking, Jérôme. Bonaparte patted Count Gnell on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll be fine!" ”
After saying that, he left Count Gnell and came to a member of the Austrian Imperial Cavalry and said, "Can you lend me your rifle?" ”
The Austrian Imperial cavalry was stunned for a moment, then turned their gaze to Count Gnell, who needed his consent to hand over the rifle to Jérôme. Bonaparte.
"Count Gnell!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his head and glanced at Count Gnell again.
"Give your rifle to Your Majesty!" Count Gnell sighed silently in his heart, and then ordered his men to hand over their rifles to Jérôme. Bonaparte.
The Austrian cavalry immediately presented their rifles with both hands, and by the way, handed the bullet pouch hanging from their waists to Jérôme. Bonaparte.
Jérôme with a rifle in hand. Bonaparte, feeling the weight of the rifle, could not help but compliment: "What a good rifle!" ”
"You've won a prize!" Count Gnell said modestly.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to the body of the gun, where he wanted to find the time to make the rifle.
Finally, next to the position of the barrel near the firing machine, Jérôme. Bonaparte discovered the engraved number 855, apparently from 1855.
Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte put the muzzle up again and looked inside the muzzle, through which he found the rifling inside the muzzle.
Combining the time of the manufacture of the rifle with the rifling of the interior, Jérôme. Bonaparte could almost conclude that this was a newly developed Austrian rifle.
"Which master made this rifle!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Count Gnell in a nonchalant tone.
"Not a master, just a lieutenant!" Count Gnell hurriedly responded, "The lieutenant's name is ...... Called......"
Count Gnell glanced at him, and the Austrian cavalry quickly spoke: "It's called Joseph. Lorentz! Hence this rifle, also known as the Lorentz rifle! ”
"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte abruptly responded, "Your army of the Austrian Empire is really full of talents!" This Lorentz rifle is better than my country's Mine rifle and Britain's Enfield rifle in terms of feel, as for the performance, I think there should be no big gap! ”
"You're overrated!" Count Gnell smiled at Jérôme. Bonaparte continued, "The performance of your Mine's rifle has been tested in the Crimea, while our Lorentz rifle has not yet been tested in a large-scale war!" So it's impossible to make a proper judgment at all! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, understood that this was only a modest statement by the Count of Gnell, and in fact he should have in his heart the pride of his Austrian Empire for being able to surpass France in rifles.
Let you be proud for a while, and wait until the rear gun comes out! There are times when you cry!
Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but say something silently in his heart.
According to the present financial situation of the Austrian Empire (Jérôme. Bonaparte estimated that it was about one-fifth of France's finances), and it would take at least five years or so for the refitting of the Lorenz rifle to be completed.
By that time, the French Empire had already begun to replace the new Mauser breech gun, which was several times better than the German rear-loading gun.
The Austrian Empire could only watch the French army change its outfits, and there was nothing it could do.
Of course, if the Austrian Empire was willing to fight an Austro-Prussian war, then Jérôme. Bonaparte was still willing to give Austria a part of the loan to speed up the change.
……
"That's it! It's not too early, and it's time for me to go in! See you later! "Jérôme. Bonaparte slung his Lorentz rifle on his shoulder like a mountain king and waved his hand at Count Gnell.
Looking at Jérôme. With Bonaparte's back swaggering like a crab running rampant, Augusta and Elisabeth couldn't help but laugh as they followed Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the forest together.
"Your Excellency, are we really not going to follow them in?" The cavalry asked Count Gnell with a worried expression.
"Forget it!" Count Gnaire shook his head and replied to the cavalry, "We follow the past and will only make the Emperor disgusted with us and affect the Emperor's good deeds!" ”
"A good thing? What's good? The cavalry was stunned, a little unaware of what Count Gnell meant.
"Nothing!" Count Gnell hurriedly changed the subject and ordered the cavalry to go to the vicinity to take a look.
The cavalry obeyed the order and rode forward along the path.
On the other hand, into the forest of Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the lush green world and suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.
And follow in Jérôme. Yin Lisabeth, who was behind Bonaparte, also began to let go of her singing voice and sang the ballad of her childhood. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta had a feeling of a breeze.
After Elizabeth finished singing, Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly had an urge to let Yin Lizabeth sing the "famous song" of later generations.
"Yin Lizabeth, I have a song here! Can you sing it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Elisabeth with a wicked smile.
"Your Majesty, what song is this?" Elizabeth asked Jérôme curiously. Bonaparte said.
"You tell me first, do you agree or not!" Jérôme. Bonaparte did not tell her the lyrics directly, but asked evasively.
Empress Augusta immediately understood that her husband must have been holding back his tricks again.
However, she didn't want to stop it, because she also wanted to hear what the song was!
"I promised!" Elizabeth Yoon agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte, she subconsciously thought Jérôme. Bonaparte did this to her, he shouldn't have cheated her.
Jérôme. Bonaparte sang the lyrics and tune, and after listening to the song, Elisabeth's face turned pale instantly, as if she had seen a devil, and Empress Augusta also looked at Jérôme with a look of disbelief. Bonaparte.
She didn't understand why Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to make up such lyrics!
"How? Sing it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte leaned against the tree and smiled at Queen Elisabeth.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to sing?" Elisabeth Yoon asked Jérôme as she reads. Bonaparte said.
"Of course!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied categorically to Elisabeth Yin that he wanted to see if the feudal remnants had a different feeling when they sang this kind of song.
Yin Lizabeth cleared her throat and sang in French: "Arise, hungry slave!
Arise, all the suffering people of the world!
The blood is already boiling
……”
"No! No way! You're so weak in singing! "Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and said to Elisabeth, "Strong! Strong and powerful, you know! Only by being strong and powerful can we truly comprehend the essence of this song! ”
"Your Majesty, we are the ones to be defeated in the song!" Yin Lisabeth pouted and hit Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned, and then said to Yin Lisabeth: "Forget it, let's change the song!" ”
"Your Majesty! If the next song is like this, allow me to say no! "Elizabeth Yoon preempts Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Don't worry! Not this time! However, you didn't learn Russian! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Elisabeth Yoon.
"I'm currently studying!" Yin Lizabeth replied.
"That's good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sang the later "Katyusha" to Yin Lisabeth.
Elizabeth quickly learned Katyusha and sang in her euphemistic voice.
Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta had intoxicated expressions on their faces at the same time, and when Elizabeth finished singing, she asked if there was a story behind the song.
"Yes, indeed!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, pasting the story of the Great Patriotic War into the Napoleonic Wars.
"That girl waited until the beloved didn't!" Elizabeth asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Nope!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Elisabeth, "That boy died during the battle of Lebizig!" Girls can't wait for their beloved anymore! ”
"It's so pathetic!" Yin Lizabeth said with tears in her eyes: "The person who killed that boy is really hateful! ”
"Huh!" Jérôme. Bonaparte scratched his head and replied to Elisabeth, "It was our French army that killed that boy!" ”
"Ahh Sorry, Your Majesty! Yin Lisabeth hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized, "I forgot! ”
"Nothing! Let's keep hunting! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and said to Elisabeth.
Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others continued on, and finally saw the first prey.
A baby sika deer is appearing in Jérôme. Directly in front of Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte was just about to raise his gun and give up, but Yin Lisabeth suddenly opened her throat and sang again.
Hearing the singing, the sika deer quickly fled, and Jérôme. Bonaparte had no choice but to put down the gun and press his big hand on Yin Lisabeth's head, rubbed it twice, and said "viciously": "Say, did you mean it!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't you think that fawn is pitiful!" Yin Lizabeth winked at Rôme. Bonaparte sells moe.
"Alright! You win! "Jérôme. Bonaparte put on Elisabeth and continued on.
On the next few occasions, Elizabeth and Augusta always took turns destroying Jérôme. Bonaparte's Hunt.
Finally Jérôme. Bonaparte chose to swing, and the three of them lay on a lawn and watched the sky quietly until the sun slowly set on the horizon.
