Chapter 16 There are shortcomings everywhere

What method should be used to help this middle-aged uncle wearing a crown make up his mind?

The shortcomings of these Selman muskets in front of him, Sinan Pei can say that he did not bring the same for three days and three nights.

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no need for us to compromise with the infidels for the sake of such a shoddy firearm. Sinampei picked up a musket and said.

"Inferior?" Before the king could reply, Aaron frowned and accused, "You are a little too ...... to say that," and he swallowed the rest of his words back halfway through.

It's not that he's afraid of Sinampe picking on technical or quality issues, because he is confident that the muskets he brought are coveted everywhere, but he is afraid that Sinampe will give the king some ecstasy - seeing that the king doesn't care about the ambiguous actions between the Duchess of Auvergne and Sinampe, Aaron subconsciously thinks that Sinampe is the king's favorite. It was precisely because of this that he didn't dare to say anything more after refuting Si Nanpei's half a sentence in a slightly flustered manner, on the contrary, he began to wonder if he had to give this master some small gifts in private? But he was a little distressed, seeing Theresa's appearance, and thinking about her identity, he thought that the beauty could not be sent, so it seemed that there was no shortage of property!

However, his little calculations were in vain, not to mention that Sinan Pei was not a short-sighted guy, just to say that the medieval goods he sent would never be able to enter Si Nanpei's eyes.

Moreover, Sinampei has already made up his mind to mess up this business, not only because this business is really not worth it, but also if Sinampei can convince the king to make his own weapons, his benefits are obvious!

At least...... That gave me the capital to pursue Theresa on the bright side.

"Let's not talk about the guns themselves, let's just say that these arquebuses, nitrification treatment is not done. Sinampei said. Approaching the problem from this aspect is something he has carefully considered.

"These are just minor problems, as long as the quality of the gun is good, then there is no need to care about these small details, I believe that Capet himself will not even be able to solve the problem of the arquebus, right?"

"It's not just a matter of arquebus, it's a testament to the attitude of the Tuks towards commercial trade and manufacturing. Sinampei shook his head, "Obviously, they are not qualified in these two aspects, not only are they not the final trading partners, but their own manufacturing industry problems are not small, even if the technology is advanced, but they do so poorly in the details, then it shows that they have a very strict management problem, and I dare not use such weapons no matter what." ”

Aaron frowned, in Eugenia, few people would expand on this form.

Sinampei continued to talk eloquently: "And after my careful observation, I found that a considerable part of this batch of weapons has such a problem - most of the guns have a fairly good quality of the chambers, it seems that those overseers of the Selman Empire regard this very seriously, but the fire holes and the primer pot are very poor, the design is unreasonable on the one hand, and the more important thing is the crudeness and carelessness of the workmanship, and there are differences between each musket. However, the gunpowder residue is very easy to block such a fire hole, affecting the life of the force itself, but more importantly, it will cause danger to the user himself. Your Majesty, can you give me the arquebus you just tried?"

The king thought for a moment, then looked at the smile on Sinampei's face and handed the musket to him.

Sinan Pei asked people to take a little cotton, and then divided it by two to make a small cotton swab, and then poked it into the fire hole.

"You see, it's dark and you can't see it when you come out. Sinan Pei shrugged with a smile and said, "The factories of the Selman Empire are all managed by a group of retired officers who don't know anything about technical work, right?"

In fact, he is very reasonable, because ordinary arquebuses will have this kind of problem, and in this era when muskets are not produced by machines, this is completely normal. Sinampe has to admit that the arquebus of the Selman Empire is quite good in this era, and if you want to blame it, you have to think from the perspective of modern people.

"......" Aaron was speechless. What Sinampei said is indeed good, he was fortunate enough to visit the Selman workshop, and he knows very well what the virtues of those old men who don't understand fart are. Therefore, he had to admit that his product did have this shortcoming.

But Sinampei decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "If I'm not mistaken, among the retired musketeers of the Selman Empire, there must be a lot of one-eyed dragons, right?"

"......" Everyone looked at Sinan Pei in surprise.

"How do you know?" Aaron shook his head, puzzled. This is something that only a small number of merchants who regularly travel between the Selman and the Celestial Cult world will know a thing or two.

"This gun is very easy to blow up. Sinan Pei is confident.

In the 21st century, anyone who is a civilized country will know the famous image of the one-eyed dragon of the Western European pirates, and the lame leg - lame because of the complexity of Western-style soft sail maneuvering, many times have to climb high to deal with it, so many people break their legs at sea. And the one-eyed dragon, it is because of the high failure rate of the arquebus.

In all fairness, although the performance of the arquebus is backward, the requirements for operation are very high, especially the arquebus, once it is too short, it is easy to be dangerous, but the soldiers can only bring a large pile of arquebuses before going to battle, and wait until the front line to deal with it themselves, and when aiming, it is even more common for sparks to hurt their eyes, not to mention major accidents such as blowing up the chamber because of too much charge......

The firearms of the Litian Sect were still very low, and the Caledonians were even more proud of their longbows, so this kind of thing was not obvious, but it was strict in the Selman Empire.

But Sinan Pei knows the reason, but it doesn't mean that other people in this era also know, and now after Si Nanpei's inducement, everyone thinks that there is something wrong with the musket of the Selman Empire......

"And since the Selman Sultan is willing to use this kind of firearm, I'm afraid he already has more advanced goods in his hands, such as a flintlock musket?"

Aaron didn't know if the Selman Empire would have more advanced muskets, but his heart jerked because he had recently sold a lot of flint to the Selman Empire......

So, what about the crossbow?

Sinan Pei opened his mouth and wanted to continue to provoke, but the king waved his hand and interrupted Sinan Pei.

"So, Si, since you advised me not to use these infidel weapons, what are you going to do to drive out the Caledonians?"

ps: I have some headaches today, so there may only be one chapter left...... If that's the case, I'll owe you three chapters. But even so, I still want to ask for a little recommendation and a tip......
