- The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century
- #252 - Chapter 253 It’s not easy for everyone
March 18, 1001 in the Bing Yang calendar
Southern border of Takagi Kingdom, base camp of Wanxi resistance army
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Eight shots.
All eight bullets were successfully fired, and all hit the 15-meter target.
good!
Although Nagamasa himself actually prefers a magazine-fed self-loading pistol, he cannot make one here due to the limitations of metal forging technology.
As a result, he looked at the powerful automatic revolver in his hand that the kind organization sold to him for 20 kilograms of rice. He was happy for the generous donation of the kind organization and the performance of selling it at a low price.
And even the profiteers of the Negan Empire don’t have an eight-shot semi-automatic revolver.
True.
In this era where even pig-headed men have access to wave-energy rifles, foreign powers have long had a wide variety of firearms.
It was just that Zelen had the misfortune to say that although Nagamasa was smart and knew how to expand his territory; however, he was always a former cannon fodder who did not have much experience in the past, let alone received much education. He did not know The powerful automatic revolver in his hand is an obsolete weapon and equipment.
Little did he know that the 8×19 mm pistol bullet he fired with this pistol was of the “low power” type, which was barely passable in power and had long been used by the armies of mainstream foreign powers.
But this is the Takagi Kingdom, a country that has always been a slave country and has no independence or internal political power.
Due to the deliberate concealment and erasure of past history by the Takagi royal family, Nagamasa certainly did not know the true origin of the gun in his hand.
But no matter what.
This revolver, which has an empty weight of 1.24 kg, a total length of 280 mm, a barrel length of 102 mm, an 8-round magazine feed, and a barrel-retracting automatic principle and a folding ammunition supply mechanism, is not a good thing. It’s just that there is no other way. Even if Nagamasa knew it, he wouldn’t have a good choice.
There is a shortage of military and labor talents under his command. The successive kings of the Takagi royal family have controlled all craftsmen who can produce tools, starting from blacksmiths.
So much so that now he has to start almost everything from scratch, especially in terms of education… He has thought clearly.
He did not change the language of the Takagi Kingdom and directly translated all foreign languages. Otherwise, it would be a very stupid act to ask your subordinates to learn a foreign language for no reason.
Of course, he also knew that the amount of this project was definitely not small. But it was worth it, it was worth his time and energy to complete. At the same time, he issued a new order to sell the firearms he owns that fire 7×57 mm caseless rifle ammunition to other “peers.”
No matter what, he didn’t want his logistics to have serious problems. Of course, there is an advantage to him doing this.
Reduce accidental injuries as much as possible.
In the previous battle against the rebels, Nagamasa had “experienced” too many such things.
Moreover, according to the guidance and recommendations of kind organizations, the main rifle used by the current Wanxi resistance army will gradually be changed to the new Xicheng rotary rifle.
Although he didn’t know the reason, his material conditions were limited and he really couldn’t use automatic weapons.
Before he has enough strength, he cannot fully realize his wish.
This is what the mysterious man told him.
That’s right.
This was the reason why he was too eager for quick success and was living on thin ice. And, in the mountainous forest area, he still had a lot to do. By surrounding cities through mountainous areas, the rural strategy of controlling material circulation cannot be changed.
After all, if the people in the city lose the supplies from the countryside, they will have no way to ensure that their food rations can be eaten safely.
But what he didn’t know was that on the other side of the ocean, in the Kapok City controlled by the Holy Church, Tian Heng happened to be walking home when he saw a truck of weapons and equipment heading towards the warehouse at the dock.
Tian Heng: “Who is so stupid as to want those old-fashioned broken guns?”
As for the Xicheng rotary rifles neatly displayed on the truck, Tianheng really couldn’t understand why there were customers who wanted such a thing that no one in the church wanted.
Apart from anything else, the folding thorn cone that comes with the rifle is an inferior traditional design.
Is it possible that someone overseas needs a lot of rifles to support the scene?
don’t know.
He didn’t want to understand either.
Even if this Xicheng rotary rifle has an empty weight of 3.7 kg, a total length of 1120 mm, a barrel length of 657 mm, a 10-round magazine or a 5-round magazine, the muzzle velocity is 730 meters per second, and the effective range is as high as 1700 meters. . But in today’s era when everyone uses fully automatic weapons, except for “hunters” like him, Tianheng, who specialize in long-distance precision shooting, who would really rely on such manual firearms to conquer the world?
Obviously, Tian Heng did not know that a certain country on the other side of the ocean was in a civil war, nor did he know that the level of military industry development of one party in the civil war was simply out of step with the times.
Anyway, there is only one thing Tianheng wants to do now, go home and check on his wife and children, and then have a good sleep.
The world outside seems calm, but in fact there are constant undercurrents.
Words such as “the years are quiet and peaceful” are said easily, but the actual number of sacrifices has never been made public.
Therefore, as a qualified cannon fodder, Donghe also received combat training from the sheep-headed chief under this blue sky.
“You, use force! Hold the spear in your hand tightly! Stab!”
“Have more force when you chop down! Don’t all look like you haven’t eaten!”
“Step! Watch your steps, take bigger steps!”
“Go left, not right!”
Listening to the various roars of the sheep-headed commander, Dong He, like the other companions who were training together on the playground, felt as if his body was not his own. Especially in this place on Jaya Island, these soldiers who originally ate rice were forced to eat bread one meal after another, and various problems of acclimatization were not properly solved at all.
Dong He took a double-edged sword and chopped it once, then stabbed it, and then turned back to chop horizontally…
Tired.
So tired.
Doesn’t he have a burning helmet?
Can’t he use this thing to deal with various enemies?
Why do people have to practice fighting with these scrap iron swords that should have been eliminated hundreds of years ago and should have been collectively sent to the steel mill for recycling?
Sheep-headed man A: “It seems that it still won’t work.”
Sheep-headed man B: “No way. Our cause still needs them to continue to make their own efforts.”
Sheep-headed man A: “But you see these guys are weaker than each other, how long can they last on the battlefield? If things go wrong, they may all be scared and run around after seeing each other.”
Sheep-headed man B: “It’s okay. They are wearing our helmets on their heads. Running around will only make them suffer punishment from the true God, ensuring that they will never disobey our pilgrimage again. What’s more, in the end, we still have a place to accommodate them and guarantee their They can contribute everything they have to the great cause of the true God for their whole lives. “
Sheep-headed man A: “Fortunately, they don’t know about us, and they don’t understand what secrets our items have.”
Sheep-headed man B: “Who made their race too ignorant and stupid, and there are no lack of arrogant idiots? Their evolution needs our guidance to obtain the gifts of the true God, complete the great cause they should have completed, and understand their own true mission.”
Dong He’s complaints deep in his heart were not understood by the sheep-headed people, and the words of the sheep-headed people were not easily understood by Dong He.
Each said his own thing.
It’s that simple.
Differences in race lead to differences in culture, and differences in culture naturally lead to differences in ideas.
This is also the fundamental reason why Dong He wanted to eat rice, but the sheep-headed people never provided rice, and let a large group of black-haired dog-headed people eat bread every day.
Because the sheep-headed people have never eaten rice from the beginning, and have always regarded wheat as their only staple food. In this case, how could the sheep-headed people, who have the upper hand and are the superiors of the black-haired dog-headed people, take the initiative to understand the needs of Dong He and his friends?
Moreover, rice is not suitable for planting in all places, and not every race or civilization knows its nutritional value and planting methods…
