Chapter 96 Lianju Gun is the Future
Everything has to be done step by step.

The same is true of being a person and doing things. You must be down-to-earth and not too high-spirited.But there are some things that must be developed ahead of time.

The arrival of immigrants and militarized management accelerated the construction of Nanhua, and Nanhua began to develop by leaps and bounds.Sufficient human resources not only allow Zhu Xianhai to carefully plan the future development of Nanhua.It can also start to solve the most important problem that has been plaguing Nanhua all the time - the security issue!
In fact, no one has such a deep understanding of "safety issues" like Zhu Xianhai. After all, he has a deep-rooted pain.

In the life simulation in Buenos Aires, the experience of being praised twice in succession, the lessons are painful and profound, which are naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

In the simulator, in order to ensure his own safety, he hired bodyguards, but it turns out that bodyguards are important, but reliable bodyguards are more important.

Those white bodyguards who are just there for paychecks... there is basically no difference between having and not having.

That is to say, with the arrival of Li Fugui and Sun Hu's "Eighteen Arhats", Zhu Xianhai finally found a reliable person.

Chinese people.

Always pay attention to a repayment.

Unlike those white people, that is, working for money.

Now that there are people, the armed forces will be established. What is the lesson of the first generation of Nan Hua being promoted?
First, the number of weapons is insufficient.

Second, the number of troops is insufficient.

Therefore, Zhu Xianhai has always been very eager to expand his military power. Although it is unrealistic to turn all the first-generation immigrants into a full-time army, except for the self-defense force of [-] people, other people also need to accept certain requirements. military training.

Even before the new immigrants arrived, Zhu Xianhai had already made a fuss about them.

Almost on the day when the new immigrants arrived, Zhu Xianhai ordered to select 1500 of the new immigrants, to increase the number of people from the first generation of immigrants to 500, and to expand the self-defense force to 2500, and at the same time the self-defense force was changed into a security force.

With this armed force of 2500 men, Zhu Xianhai could finally sleep soundly.After all, the current Argentine army is only about 20000.

The security team is the most important military force in Nanhua.

Security issues are as big as a mountain!

A security team of 2500 people can at least guarantee that Nanhua has the power to fight!
The number of people has increased, but the quality of weapons has not improved.

Limited by the number of Henry rifles and Spencer rifles, the main equipment of the security team is P1853 rifles made in India. This was purchased when the "Anlis" was docked in Singapore. On the return flight, Li Fugui specially asked them to bring A batch came back, after all, Nanhua also needed weapons.

Although the firepower of muzzle-loading rifles is limited, Nanhua has its own glorious tradition.

Insufficient firepower, grenades come in.

Nanhua Grenadier!

Although grenadiers are Nanhua's tradition, Zhu Xianhai, as a commander in chief, still puts the issue of weapons as a top priority.

"Renju gun - it is the real future!"

Take out a Lianzhu gun - Spencer rifle, Zhu Xianhai said.

"In the future, all the Nanhua Security Team will be equipped with this!"

"It uses metal fixed-load ammunition, and the barrel of the gun stock can hold seven bullets. It is easier for soldiers to operate and train, and the rate of fire is extremely fast. A skilled shooter can shoot fifteen or six times a minute... "

The powerful firepower of the Spencer rifle had been fully demonstrated in the last battle against the Gaucho cavalry. Of course Brian was very aware of this, as well as its shortcomings.

"Its range is very close, handsome!"

Brian said directly.

"Maybe this kind of rifle has a fast rate of fire and powerful firepower, but the 0.56-inch bullet it uses has a range of only [-] yards. On the battlefield, the Enfield rifle will firmly suppress it at a long distance. Therefore, I think we should still Mainly Enfield rifles, Spencer rifles for cavalry and chariot troops."

In fact, the lack of power of the Spencer rifle has already been revealed when fighting the Gaucho cavalry. It has a short range and is not lethal to horses.But even so, its power and range far exceed the .44 caliber Henry rifle.

It is precisely because of its powerful firepower that by the end of the Civil War, the Spencer rifle had become a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of soldiers on both sides.

However, this does not mean that its performance is perfect. In fact, the power of the Henry rifle is small, and the power of the Spencer rifle is not that great.Even in the end, this was the reason why he was eventually eliminated—in terms of rate of fire, it was far inferior to Henry or Winchester rifles, and in terms of power, he was no match for Sharps and his ilk. Those rifles could hunt deer, Those who can hunt buffalo, but as for Spencer, at most they can only hunt people, deer, and horses. He really can't.

And that's why Brian suggested cavalry use it - at least it's more powerful than a revolver and has higher accuracy.

Zhu Xianhai, who knew all this clearly, said casually.

"That's the bullet."

While talking, Zhu Xianhai pressed the lever to eject a bullet, and picked up the .56 caliber copper cased rimfire bullet, Zhu Xianhai said.

"This is the .56 rimfire bullet it uses, which can't withstand higher chamber pressures, so I designed a new type of bullet that uses center fire instead of rimfire to withstand Higher chamber pressure, more gunpowder can be loaded, and it is still a bottleneck ammunition, the caliber is reduced to about .45 inches, and the muzzle velocity is increased by reducing the caliber. After changing to a new bullet, its range is longer, The accuracy is higher, and of course the power is also greater."

After the first battle with the Gauchos, Zhu Xianhai focused on the issue of weapons. In order to improve the range of the Spencer rifle, he directly used the "Berdan-style primer" that was invented more than ten years ago.

That is to say, the Spencer rifle has potential for improvement. In contrast, the improvement potential of the Henry rifle is extremely small. Its brass casing is weak and difficult to withstand high chamber pressure. Although it can hold [-] rounds of bullets, it has a high rate of fire Faster, but nowhere near the robustness of the Spencer rifle.Moreover, the parts of the Spencer gun are easier to manufacture. It seems that the structure is complicated, but there are not many parts.

"Master, we can't make bullets yet!"

Brian said directly.

"Metal cartridges are expensive and require more equipment, and if we can't produce this bullet ourselves, it's a pile of scrap metal if we run out of bullets!"

Well, Brian won.

But only temporarily.

Zhu Xianhai shrugged his shoulders and said.

"This is only temporary. Buffett will come back soon, and he will bring equipment for producing bullets. Soon, after our own factory is put into production, we will no longer need to think about ammunition."

At this time, he found that he really missed Buffett a little bit.Fortunately, he is coming back soon, on his way back.

Not only did he come back, but also the machines he purchased and the technicians he hired.

A few days later, a ship sailed into Nanhua Bay. Standing at the bow of the ship, Buffett stared dumbfounded at the strange city in front of him.

"This, is this true?"

No need to doubt, when he saw Zhu Xianhai who greeted him on the pier, he no longer doubted.

"Welcome home, my friend."

As soon as they met, Zhu Xianhai gave Buffett a strong hug.
