In terms of the selection of the head of the regiment, Lin Qiang really hesitated for a long time. As a brother, he definitely wanted Tsuneishi to be the head of the regiment, but after all, in this recruitment, among the newly built Salvation Army, the Moyan soldiers accounted for 70%, and the mine protection team was only 20%.

So he went to the barracks and found Yan Xiaohuan and Tsuneishi. When he arrived at the barracks, Yan Xiaohuan and Tsuneishi were shooting targets. A new rifle was used. Lin Qiang was also stunned when he saw it. Hurriedly took a handful from Tsuneishi's hand and looked at it carefully.

Yes, Liang Shuopeng has figured out new tricks during this time. Based on the history of the development of firearms, combined with his own understanding of weapons, he recreated a new gun.

Lin Qiang held the gun in his hand, looking at this gun, which was similar to a semi-automatic rifle in later generations, and felt very jumpy. It seems to have returned to the military training period of the university for a while, but unlike the wooden-handled rifles issued by later generations, this gun has a small flint attached to the side of the breech.

Lin Qiang asked suspiciously, "Why is there a stone here?" ”

Tsuneishi took the gun, fiddled with the fire door and explained, "Liang Zi said that who, Robin, built him an earthen blast furnace. It can produce steel with good strength, which is much stronger than the hand-beaten steel made by the old method. But when it comes to firing pins and primer bullets, the strength is not enough. ”

Lin Qiang asked again, "So what kind of gun is this?" Flintlock pistol? Alternative to arquebus? Tsuneishi nodded and said: "I'm not very familiar with firearms, but it seems that Liang Zi said that this is indeed a flintlock pistol, but because of the current steel, as well as the improvement of lathe technology, Liang Zi said that this batch of guns are engraved with rifling in the chamber." ”

Lin Qiang took a breath of surprise at this time and sighed: "Liang Zi deserves to be Liang Zi, it's really powerful." It's only been a long time since I got a rifled gun. It's just flint, which is a bit of a pity. When we can cause firing pins and bullets to come, then we will be stable. ”

Chang Shi laughed and said: "Oh, brother, then you can't get a firing pin bullet and be satisfied, you have to look forward to Liang Zi making a big Ivan one day." ”

The two laughed heartlessly, and the movement attracted Yan Xiaohuan, who had been focusing on practicing target shooting. Yan Xiaohuan frowned, walked over to the two with a gun, and asked softly, "Big Ivan, what is that?" ”

Lin Qiang and Chang Shi were speechless for a while, and they didn't know how to explain to Yan Xiaohuan, so Lin Qiang could only divert the topic and ask, "How are you two practicing guns?" ”

Tsuneishi motioned to Yan Xiaohuan to say first, but Yan Xiaohuan was not polite, and said: "This new gun is good, both the accuracy and the range are much better than the original one with a fire rope, and it is also more convenient." ”

Lin Qiang nodded, and asked again: "Did you get your target by pressing the ring, how many rings and how many rings?" Tsuneishi nodded and said, "Yes, it's all based on the target paper drawn by Zhao Huiying over there." From the R&D center, the thickened steel plate is quite strong. ”

Lin Qiang asked again: "How is it, how is your marksmanship?" When Tsuneishi said this, he raised his head and said: "The gun is on target, and it is above 8 rings." How can one or two shots of ten shots hit the position of the ten rings. ”

Lin Qiang looked at the target a hundred meters away, gave Chang Shi a thumbs up, and asked, "What about Yan Xiaofan?" Which of you is better? ”

Chang Shi was a little hesitant and didn't want to speak, but Yan Xiaohuan took over the conversation and said, "The strength of the two of us is about the same." ”

But as soon as these words came out, Chang Shi also scratched his head, and finally blushed and told the truth: "It's a bit too much, basically Yan Xiao's phantom guns are all nine rings or ten rings." ”

Lin Qiang was a little speechless. He couldn't understand a person who had traveled through the past in modern society, and Tsuneishi was the best among them in terms of physical fitness and all aspects, and he couldn't play with guns or Yan Xiaofan. He thought for a while, and said, "The main reason for coming here to find you two is that there is such a thing. It's just..."

As a result, before he could speak, Tsuneishi interrupted him and said, "Brother, are you looking for us to appoint someone to be the head of the regiment?" Sensei said, you let her be. ”

At that time, Lin Qiang's mouth was surprised to swallow a whole egg, and he asked suspiciously: "No, before I can say it, how do you know?" ”

Changshi sorted out the gun in his hand, motioned for Yan Xiaohuan to continue shooting, and then said while busy: "I didn't say you. Now that you are busy, we are busy, and the matter of building the army has advanced to the present, and there is no mention of personnel arrangements, so what else do you say you can do with me? ”

Lin Qiang nodded, took a gun from himself, and Chang Shi quickly put down the gun in his hand and told him how to use the flintlock rifled gun. After teaching, Lin Qiang raised his gun and shot at the target, and the soldier who reported the target on the opposite side raised a circle whiteboard. Tsuneishi laughed and said, "You're off target." ”

Lin Qiang said with a bitter face: "Okay, if you have no opinion, Yan Xiaohuan will be the head of the regiment in the future, and you will be the deputy commander." How to arrange the three battalion commanders at the bottom? ”

Tsuneishi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, with his name written on it, and handed it to Lin Qiang. Lin Qiang took a look and found that the first in line was the first battalion commander Har, and there were battalion commanders and company commanders below, some people Lin Qiang knew, some Lin Qiang was not familiar with, maybe the new young man from the Moyan people's side.

Tsuneishi pointed to the list in Lin Qiang's hand and said, "This is our mine protection team, oh no, the People's Salvation Army." This is the result of our new consultations with the People's Salvation Army. Let's see if it's okay. ”

Lin Qiang nodded and said that there was no problem, and then asked: "Hal was originally the deputy captain, and now you and Yan Xiaohuan are the regiment commanders, let him be a battalion commander under you, he has no opinion, right?" ”

Tsuneishi patted Lin Qiang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Hal is not so careful." We're all done talking. You're not the commander-in-chief, so you have to get your consent. ”

Lin Qiang smiled and said, "Good guy, am I so important?" ”

As soon as Lin Qiang's words came out, Yan Xiaohuan and Changshi both laughed. Yan Xiaohuan said: "Don't say it, you are really important. At least my Uncle Zhang and Uncle San, they are quite optimistic about you. ”

Lin Qiang waved his hand and walked away as if he had fled. Tsuneishi and Yan Xiaohuan also looked at each other and smiled, and the two continued to hit the target.

The personnel arrangements of the People's Salvation Army were also announced after Lin Qiang, Changshi and Yan Xiaohuan chatted. Since Lin Qiang fully respected the opinions of the old mine protection team and the new members, and also adopted the opinions of different personnel in the personnel appointment process, the current shelf of the People's Salvation Army has been set up very smoothly, and there is no opposition.

After the appointment of personnel, Lin Qiang received another news, which was sent to Lin Qiang by Li Duoduo, the commander of the security company of the Houshan R&D Center.

A production line, needless to say, is the line of the latest flintlock rifling guns. The flintlock rifled gun, as the name suggests, uses the firing method of flintlock and is rifled. The advantage of flintlock is that it is more stable than the fire rope, and the weather is more humid, so it does not affect the flint to activate the ammunition. Of course, if it rains heavily, it won't work.

The advantage of rifling is that it can make the projectile rotate fully in the chamber, thereby increasing the muzzle velocity, and also allowing the projectile to fly longer and farther after the muzzle is discharged.

After Liang Shuopeng got the flintlock rifling, the old-fashioned arquebus had already been discarded by the People's Salvation Army. After all, there are more awesome weapons in front of the eyes, who would use the half-finished products of the past. But these arquebuses, Lin Qiang was not stupid enough to sell them to Thompson, a businessman.

Selling points bows and crossbows are harmless, no matter how strong the compound bow and compound crossbow are, Lin Qiang also knows in his heart that the gun can be made sooner or later, so it is not in the way. But even if the arquebus is eliminated, Lin Qiang does not plan to sell it. This is the biggest reliance of his group in this world, so he said that no matter how good he is, he has to have a life to enjoy it.

As for the artillery, it is still the kind seen in the fire exercise, and Liang Shuopeng is not very keen on the artillery, his classic quote is that the cannon has no technical content.

However, Lin Qiang is very fanatical about cannons, and one day, he must educate him well.

Since the establishment of the People's Salvation Army and the official operation of Liang Shuopeng's gun production line, the strength of the mine has become stronger day by day. Faced with this situation, Lin Qiang's mind also became lively. Now he pays attention to these few things.

The first is the whereabouts of Rhodes.

Every time Thompson came to the mine, Lin Qiang would either meet him in person, or ask Han Xu to ask Thompson if there was any news from Rhodes. It's a pity that Thompson didn't bring good news to Lin Qiang every time. It's as if Rhodes has evaporated from the world, and there is no news.

Even Lin Qiang used the relationship in the provincial city of Montel, that is, Pete, who went back to the eldest prince Raul as a cow and a horse. Of course, Pete didn't have any news from his side, but said that if there was any news, it would be sent back as soon as possible.

For Pete, Lin Qiang has always believed in it. This trust comes from two sources, one is that Pete's family is now in the mine. Of course, he was not bad to Pete's family, the families of the survivors of the No. 2 Mine Cave back then, who occasionally found out to find trouble before, were all discovered by Lin Qiang in time, and asked Duan Lingzi to resolve it from the psychological aspect.

The second is that since Duan Lingzi and Han Xu were appointed as the heads of mine intelligence, they have given full play to the various "knowledge" about intelligence they have seen before, although most of this knowledge comes from film and television works and novels, but in this world, it is also very advanced.

For example, for the contact with the provincial city of Pete, Duan Lingzi and Han Xu have developed from the earliest flying pigeon to the current living mailbox and dead mailbox. The encryption method has also been updated several times. It's just that Lin Qiang also found that the two of them have become secretly poked and poked now, just like scheming evil wizards, which makes people shudder a little when they look at it.

And the second thing is expansion.
