make a mistake...

Everyone makes mistakes!
However, in the planning and construction of Nanhua, Zhu Xianhai has a clear goal. After all, with the experience of the [-]st century and the description of the "First Five-Year Plan" in history books, everyone knows how to take the road of development. .

In Zhu Xianhai's plan, Nanhua also has its own "First Five-Year Plan". Of course, his "First Five-Year Plan" is definitely a "pocket version".Because right now he has neither the financial resources nor the manpower to implement the plan, and of course he has no technology.

But even so, he still focused on one goal—the self-production of weapons.

Once again, he came to the sawmill. The steam engine in the sawmill not only provides power for the sawmill, but also provides power for the machine tool for repairing agricultural tools. The current machine tool itself does not drive power. Often there is only one steam engine in a workshop. The power is transmitted to each piece of equipment by driving the sky shaft or the ground shaft with a belt. Although the repair workshop is not large, there are also general-purpose machine tools such as lathes, drilling machines, and milling machines.

Some of these machine tools he bought in Buenos Aires to repair farm tools, and some he bought in the mall.The number is not large, but it can also meet the repair of farm tools, and of course the more important thing is to train workers.

Before anyone entered the workshop, Zhu Xianhai heard the sound of machine tools milling steel. Although there were not many machine tools, there were several workers standing next to each machine tool. They were all carefully selected Chinese workers. They are very smart, and they study extremely seriously. Now many of them can already operate machine tools alone.

Avoiding the shafts and belts that drive the machine tool, Zhu Xianhai came to a machine tool where a Chinese worker was threading steel pipes. He took out a steel pipe from a box beside it. Zhu Xianhai looked at it and said with satisfaction.

"It seems to be so interesting."

The steel pipes are the previously purchased steam engine accessories - the water pipes in the boiler.After finding this thing in the warehouse, Zhu Xianhai started thinking about it—this kind of seamless steel pipe is definitely a good raw material for mortars.

Of course, its bore is a bit small, only 2 inches.

Boiler water pipes are definitely an artifact of mortar manufacturing. Even in the 20s, the well-known Jinling Manufacturing Bureau used boiler pipes for mortars. Thousands of 82mm mortars were manufactured back and forth. Of course, Boiler tubes in the twentieth century were certainly better than today's.

However, Zhu Xianhai's requirements are not high, as long as the range of the rifle is farther than that of the rifle.Even taking second place, it can hit two or three hundred meters farther than a grenade, which is also a qualitative leap for Nanhua's grenadiers.

Get him dozens or hundreds of mortars, not to mention the Mapuche, even if we encounter the regular Argentine army, we will not only have the strength to fight, but we can also blow them to pieces if they are not in order.

What kind of platoon was shot, what kind of queue, it was all crumbs, and it was courting death in front of the mortar.Hundreds of mortars, one shot of shells, guaranteed to turn into scum, let them feel what the "God of War" is.

"Longer range than a rifle..."

Faced with such a request from the boss, what can Anthony say?All he can do is shrug his shoulders, like you're the boss and you get what you say.

These people, what do you know!

I will tell you, is this an epoch-making weapon?
To tell the truth, Zhu Xianhai felt that he was being too dishonest by resorting to such a big weapon of "mortar".After all, at present, the armies of various countries are lined up to be shot. If they fight with the Argentines, they will be lined up to be shelled.

It's definitely a hit!

If one shot doesn't work, then another shot... No, a thousand shots!

We have a lot of guns, just give them a round.

This is really unreasonable.

But it's cool to be crushed by such strength!
"Has the breech been made yet?"

"Come on, sir, made by the best blacksmith..."

Ugh... so raw.

There is no way, the current level of Nanhua is like this, even the cannon mounts are connected with simple bolts.

A few days later, a 2-inch mortar with metallic luster... No, to be precise, it is more appropriate to call it a grenadier. After all, its caliber is only 2 inches, that is, 50mm, and even The appearance is no different from the popular grenades. If there is a difference, well, it is a small mortar, and even the shells are tail-stabilized like mortar shells.

As the head of Nanhua Village, Zhu Xianhai will of course come to the front line in person - standing behind sandbags tens of meters away.

"Report, Commander, you can start now."

Sun Hu reported respectfully.

Even if there are only [-] regular troops under his command, it doesn't prevent Zhu Xianhai from giving himself the title of "General Commander". This title sounds impressive!
"Well, let's get started!"

As soon as Zhu Xianhai finished speaking, someone nearby waved the red flag.

The team member holding the grenadier pulled out the fuse on the fuze of the shell almost without thinking, and then stuffed the shell into it from the muzzle.

With a sound of "Boom", the cannonball was fired instantly. Although the sound of the firing was not loud, it still shocked them.

The parabolic mortar shells directly cut through the sky and flew into the distance. Two or three seconds later, there was a loud noise almost [-] meters away, and a column of smoke rose into the sky.

"It's done, it's done..."

Sun Hu was dumbfounded.

"Boss, Commander, this, this cannon hit at least half a mile, no, no, at least more than three hundred meters, with it, we, we don't need to throw grenades with cat waists anymore..."

Flicking a grenade at the cat's waist is a compulsory course for grenadiers—well, crawling forward under the line of fire, and then flicking the grenade close to the face.The tactics are modern enough!

"Marshal, if we get him a few hundred doors, even if tens of thousands of people come here, he won't be our opponent!"

Well, it's quite to my liking!
"Calm down..."

Despite what he said, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but say it.

"Being down-to-earth is the most important thing, um... let's build five hundred doors first!"

Five hundred doors!
Well, the Nanhua Grenadier, Tongyu has successfully advanced - the modernized Grenadier, how can the grenadier not be modernized!

With this epoch-making weapon, why are we few?This Pampas prairie, we will still run rampant!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help composing poems.

"When the cannon fires, it bombards his mother, Vega makes her famous all over the world; counts the heroes, Marshal Zhu, and the cannons level the world..."
