Chapter 899: The Gatling Gun Was Successfully Developed?

The Minister looked at the panting cuirassiers with an embarrassed expression, and wished that the cuirassiers would disappear in front of him.

It was only after such a short distance that the cuirassiers were tired like this.

If you really go to the battlefield, I'm afraid you will be tired enough before you arrive at the combat site!

Fortunately, this time the competition is to see if the armor can withstand the attack of the Mauser rifle, otherwise it will be a shame!

At this moment, Minister Vayan did not realize that the main purpose of this test was not to test whether the armor could withstand the rifles, but to test whether the cavalry could be used as the main force against the troops.

Therefore, the cavalry had to ensure that it could resist Mauser bullets while also being agile and mobile.

Only then did the cavalry have a chance to surround the infantry.

However, cavalry, which could meet both of these things, did not exist in the mid-19th century.

Even the German military god next door could not have done this.

Able to meet the defense and mobility of the "cavalry", only 60 years later, tanks in the First World War.

Now, Minister Wayan, who is still focused on victory, still hopes to use this special armor to teach Niel a hard lesson.

"Minister Vayan, can you please put your armor on the target!" The Chief of the General Staff Niel said to Minister Vayan in a serious manner.

"Good!" Chancellor Vayan nodded, then reached out to look at the cuirassiers.

Seeing this, the cuirassier carefully placed the cuirass in front of the minister of Vayan, and when the minister of Vayan picked up the cuirassa, his face was slightly hideous, and now he clearly felt the weight of the cuirassy.

It's not easy for the cuirassiers to wear this to the battlefield!

Minister Vayan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then he walked to the target step by step with the cuirass in both hands, and put the armor on the target.

When everything is ready, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Basilio to go to the Mauser gunsmith and get a rifle and a brass bullet from him.

When Basilio heard this, he immediately turned to go.

After a while, Basilio arrived in Jérôme with a rifle on his back. Bonaparte's face.

"Your Majesty, this is a Mauser rifle!" Basilio handed over the Mauser rifle to Jérôme. Bonaparte, and then handed over the brass bullets as well.

Jérôme with a Mauser rifle in one hand and brass bullets in the other. Bonaparte looked at Nière and Chancellor Vayan and said, "Which of you two will come!" ”

Chancellor Vayan was about to move forward when Niel took the lead and stood in Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty, let me come!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte handed the brass bullet to Nière at the same time as the Mauser rifle.

Niel unwound the breech of the Mauser rifle and suggested to Minister Wayan: "Minister Wayan, I don't think the two of us should compare again!" ”

"Than! Why not compare! Chancellor Vayan replied in a firm tone to Niel.

"Since you're going to compete, then I'll have to ......" Neielle reset the bolt and aimed at the breastplate at a distance of about two hundred meters.

At this moment, the cuirass became shiny in the sunlight, and it was particularly dazzling.

But even so, Niel stared at the breastplate.

After raising the rifle flat for a moment, Neil pulled the trigger.

With a crisp sound, the brass bullet struck the special breastplate of the Minister of Vayan.

Seeing this, the minister of Vayan hurried to the target where the armor was hung, and he glanced at the armor, which at the moment had only a circular groove made by a brass bullet, and the armor itself had not been pierced.

"The armor has not been pierced!" Minister Vayan ran up to Niel and excitedly said to Niel and Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Niel also ran to the armor, carefully examining the damage to it.

A long time passed, and Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said to Niel: "The winner of this contest is you, Chief of the General Staff of Niel!" ”

Minister Wayan's face showed a look of consternation, and then he excitedly pointed to the armor and asked, "Your Majesty, the armor has not been pierced head-on!" ”

"I know!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Chancellor Vayan in a calm tone.

"Then why is the winner Niel!" Minister Vayan asked, a little unconvinced.

"Chancellor Wayan, think carefully about what the role of cavalry is?" Jérôme. Bonaparte reprimanded Vaillan in a loud voice.

Minister Vayan instantly realized what the problem was, and he lowered his head and replied with a slight loss: "I lost!" ”

Then he raised his head again and exhaled, and the corners of his mouth showed an open-minded smile and continued to Niel, "Chief of General Staff Niel, you are right!

Cavalry, however, is no longer able to function on frontal battlefields. ”

Speaking of this, Wayan paused, shook his head to himself, and muttered, "No! Not to mention the frontal battlefield, cavalry is not good even if it only acts as a flank attack!

The role of cavalry is only scouting! ”

"Minister Wayan, it's not that you don't understand these truths, why do you need to do this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and replied to Chancellor Vayan, "It is no longer the time of the First Empire, and our rifles have far surpassed them in the development of these decades.

During the First Empire, our dragoons, lancers, and heavy cavalry were able to outflank the enemy in flintlock pistols and rifles, thus annihilating the opponent's living forces!

And now our Migne rifle is not at the same level as all previous breech guns, both in terms of range accuracy and firing distance, and the possibility of victory for cavalry has become extremely difficult.

The Mauser rifle is even more outstanding, with a far more accurate shooting accuracy, firing speed and firing angle than the Minéré rifle, and the firing distance is exactly the same as the Migne rifle.

Therefore, it is simply not possible to learn about the First Empire!

The French cavalry must undergo a radical overhaul, and we must throw away all our armor and go into battle lightly!

In this way, the role of cavalry can be better played! ”

The historical French Empire wasted too many resources on cavalry, and they replaced the armor stomach with more protective equipment under the instructions of the Minister of War, Niel, hoping to use this method to strengthen the defense capability and give the cavalry troops a chance to show their skills.

As a result, during the Franco-Prussian War, the French heavy cavalry was surprised to find that their armor was indeed able to save their lives, but their mobility was completely destroyed.

"But! What to do with those cavalry officers in the army? "Minister Vayan asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Either choose to change jobs, or transfer to another department!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Chancellor Vayan.

"Your Majesty, there are many nobles among the cavalry officers! Shouldn't we think again! "Minister Vayan once again addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"No need to think about it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sneered and said categorically to the Minister of Vayan: "I have only cut the cavalry of the people by half, which is already very much a shame for those nobles.

If the cavalry units are reduced according to my opinion, the dragoons, cuirassiers, and lancers also need to be eliminated altogether!

Only the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance will be left in the army! ”

"No!" Minister Vayan hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Minister Wayan, the purpose of military reform is to raise the overall level of our country's army and eliminate shortcomings in the army!

We can't just let the shortcomings go too bad!

The cavalry units must be reorganized! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the Minister of Valian, "I don't care how big their parents are, how noble their ancestors are, as long as they are soldiers of the French army, then they must obey the arrangement."

Either they choose to change jobs, or they stay in the army!

However, there are no idlers in the army! Those who choose to stay in the army must face tests at any time......"

Chancellor Vayan listened quietly to Jérôme. Bonaparte's speech, wait until Jérôme. After Bonaparte's speech, Chancellor Vayan spoke to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty, I understand! ”

"Yes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and said to Minister Wayan: "If only you understood! ”

Stay in Jérôme. While Bonaparte was talking to Minister Vayan, Chasepo and the others did not know when they appeared near the shooting range.

Jérôme. After the exchange between Bonaparte and Minister Vayan had come to an end for the time being, he turned to look at Chasebo and the others and said, "How did you get here?" Could it be that something is going on over there? ”

Shasebo and the others hurriedly shook their heads, and then Shasebo, Paul. Mauser and William. Mauser came to Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"What's wrong? What happened? "Jérôme. Bonaparte again questioned Chasepo and the others.

"Your Majesty, I ......" Chasebo was about to say and stopped, and Paul was standing aside. Mauser helped Xia Sebo finish what he hadn't finished, and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xia Sebo has developed the multi-barrel shotgun you need!" ”

"Developed so quickly?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Alfonso in surprise. Chasepo, he was originally named Alfonso. It will take at least a year for Xia Sebo to be able to develop it.

Unexpectedly, Alfonso. Xia Sebo actually gave him a surprise.

If Shaselpod's multi-barreled machine gun could rival the Gatling gun in terms of performance, Jérôme. Bonaparte would have given two or three to each battalion.

Although the Gatling Gun has some flaws, it can also be used as a harvester on the battlefield if used correctly.

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Shasepo was respectful to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
