Expedition to Europe

Foch had a good foundation after all. Although he was a little older, he still had a good sense of the gun.

After a little adjustment, Foch shot 7 rounds with 65 rings, especially the last five shots, all of which were ten rings.

"Very good, although a little heavy, but it is still a good gun. I want to take back my words. This kind of gun can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and there will be a qualitative improvement. I feel that the firepower density caused by two such rifles is comparable to that of a squad in the past. If the troops are equipped with B-2, it will indeed be a huge leap." Foch is not pedantic. When he found his mistake, he immediately admitted it.

Gold will always shine. The MI Garand rifle was once hailed as the best rifle during World War II. It is the same in this time and space. Although he only shot one round, Foch has already felt the difference of this weapon.

For the next target, Foch will no longer make a fool of himself. After all, he is a 68-year-old man. His eyesight and energy have declined to varying degrees. We can't expect Foch to be as energetic as Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan was not polite. He started from the 100-meter target and shot a burst at each target. It was not until the 400-meter distance that Qin Zhiyuan scored 45 rings, and one of them even missed the target.

Seeing that Qin Zhiyuan could only score this result, Foch was speechless.

Qin Zhiyuan was testing on the shooting range. There was no interference and no time limit. Qin Zhiyuan could calmly adjust each shot to the best state before firing. It was under such circumstances that Qin Zhiyuan only scored 45 rings at a distance of 400 meters, which was enough to prove that a longer range was meaningless.

Think about it, if you are on a battlefield with bullets flying around, there are stray bullets flying over your head or ears from time to time, and enemy shells explode around you. Every explosion will cause the nearby land to tremble violently. At this time, it is basically impossible to aim accurately, let alone 400 meters, 300 meters is too far. The counterattack distance required by Lan Fang's "Operation Manual" is 200 meters, but in actual combat, many troops will put the enemy within 100 meters, or even closer before launching a counterattack.

Yeah, at a distance of 100 meters, quickly empty the bullets in the rifle, and then you can throw a grenade. At this time, the distance is just right, and the power will not be wasted at all.

Just when Foch was about to say something, Zeng Ruiqi asked someone to bring a four-fold scope.

In fact, in the 1920s, scopes were not rare, but this scope was produced by Lan Fang himself, which was enough to prove that Lan Fang's optical level had reached a very high level.

When the Foreign Legion went to Germany to "collect junk", they almost moved the Zeiss factory to Lanfang as a whole. The current Zeiss factory is located on Penglai Island. It is the only factory on Penglai Island, which shows Qin Zhiyuan's emphasis on the optical department.

It is necessary to pay attention to it. As the degree of modernization of Lanfang's military weapons and equipment has become higher and higher, Lanfang has become more and more dependent on optical ranging. Other equipment such as telescopes and sights used by the army, ranging equipment used by the navy, and aiming equipment used by the air force, etc., must be produced by factories on Penglai Island, so Qin Zhiyuan attaches so much importance to the optical equipment factory.

For snipers, the sight is the best companion. Qin Zhiyuan installed the sight himself, and then installed the full-charge bullets for special sniping, and then asked Zeng Ruiqi to set the target at 800 meters and 1,000 meters.

This time the results were much better. At a distance of 800 meters, eight shots scored 78 rings, and at a distance of 1,000 meters, eight shots also scored 68 rings.

"It's still a little unfamiliar." Qin Zhiyuan has received various trainings, but he doesn't know much about sniping. If McTavish is present, he will probably achieve a pretty good result.

"It's already very good. Even if you put it in the army, your result can be considered excellent." Foch praised generously.

"Thank you for the encouragement." Qin Zhiyuan thanked Foch for his praise, then turned back to Zeng Ruiqi and Louis Julian and smiled brightly: "It's unexpectedly good. I thought the design would not be completed until the middle of next year. I didn't expect you to complete the design in such a short time. It's great. By the end of the year, you will get the rewards you deserve."

As early as a few months ago, Qin Zhiyuan ordered people to prepare for the "celebration meeting" at the end of the year. At this meeting, it is expected that more than a thousand people will be awarded titles ranging from earl to knight, and it is estimated that more than 500,000 people will receive various medals.

That's right, it's 500,000 people. Don't think this number is too huge. This is mainly because Qin Zhiyuan wants to use this way of awarding medals to enhance people's sense of honor, so that everyone who participated in the process of Lan Fang's founding can have a souvenir to commemorate their past days, which will be an indelible memory in their lives.

After inspecting Pontianak, Qin Zhiyuan and Fu Xu did not return to Coconut City, but flew to Cam Ranh Bay.

The "Vladivostok" in Cam Ranh Bay has finally completed the outfitting and is ready to be handed over to the Lan Fang Navy.

Such a historic moment, Qin Zhiyuan must of course witness it with his own eyes, and even Julie will fly from Coconut City to Cam Ranh Bay to stand for the "Vladivostok" that will soon be put into service.

After the installation, the Nagato has a length of 225 meters and a width of 34.5 meters. It also has eight 410 mm guns. Because more anti-aircraft weapons have been added to the ship, and radios and more isolation cabins that were not originally installed have been installed, the weight has increased and the speed has dropped to 26 knots.

It's enough. In this era when the average speed is still 20 knots, a battleship that can run at a speed of 26 knots is like installing a hundred propellers.

Compared with the original, the appearance of "Vladivostok" is also different from that of the original "Nagato", mainly reflected in the first chimney.

In the previous "Nagato", because the first chimney and the bridge were too close, when traveling quickly, a vacuum would form at the rear of the bridge, and the black smoke in the chimney would flow into the captain along the bridge. In the original history, this criticism of the command room was not resolved until the ninth year of Showa.

Now that the Lanfang Navy has taken over the "Vladivostok", the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard can modify the "Vladivostok" as it likes. As a result, the final countermeasures are surprisingly similar to the original history. The "Vladivostok" has removed the first chimney. Then thicken the second chimney.

Compared with the previous installation of radios and modification of the chimney, this already involved the overall structure, which aroused strong opposition from the Japanese personnel headed by Ito Tomoe.

Tomoe Ito even said that if Chief Engineer Chang Tomoka did not consider the opinions of the Japanese staff, Tomoe Ito would commit suicide and perish together with the former "Nagato".

Regarding Ito Tomoe's threat, Chang Youka made no comment and just ordered the modification to continue.

This was equivalent to putting Ito Tomoe on the fire, so after Ito performed a farce of committing suicide, he gave up his intention to die under the dissuasion of others, waiting to see how Zhang Youhe would use the "Vladivostok" "Make it look like four different things.

Facts have proved that Zhang Youhe was not as unbearable as Ito Tomoe thought, and the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard also had sufficient construction capabilities. So in less than two months, the "Vladivostok" was outfitted and could be handed over to Lanfang Navy for service.

Even if the Japanese continue to build the "Vladivostok", the Japanese will not be able to play so fast.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Foch flew to the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, Bastian was also there, so Qin Zhiyuan and Bastian entered the canteen together and prepared to have a meal in the canteen.

Read the original article in Liu#9@书/吧!

"Qin, to be honest, ever since I ate in your canteen, I've really been like crazy. The food cooked by the chefs in the Governor's Mansion is simply unpalatable. Compared with the chefs here, my chef is just... He's like an idiot, he can't even stew braised pork. I really wonder if the former governor was used to eating that kind of pig food, so he would tolerate that crappy cook." Bastian said it quite exaggeratedly.

This is of course not true. The French are actually good at cooking, but they need more exquisite ingredients. No Chinese food can turn decay into magic. As Bastian is the Governor of French East India, the chefs who serve him must also be top chefs. Now Bastian is saying this just to repair the relationship with Qin Zhiyuan.

Yes, it is about repairing relations. I still remember that after Lanfang went to war with Japan, France also declared war on the Japanese within the scope of the alliance. However, the French declaration of war was more like a helpless show. The French basically did not send a single soldier in the war. It was not until Lanfang won the "Battle of Cam Ranh Bay" and the "Battle of Ningbeigang" that the French became active.

Qin Zhiyuan believed that he was not a good person, repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Naturally, Qin Zhiyuan felt a little resentful towards the French who stood by and watched.

So during this period, Bastian ran extra diligently around Coconut City.

The relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Bastian is still good. Facing Bastian, Qin Zhiyuan can't lose face. Therefore, facing Bastian's flattery, Qin Zhiyuan can only helplessly return: "Then you will Eat more.”

Qin Zhiyuan is the king, and Lanfang is an extremely hierarchical country, so in principle, although Qin Zhiyuan also eats in the cafeteria, he cannot eat the same as ordinary workers. The chef always has to prepare several dishes by himself. OK.

But in fact, Qin Zhiyuan did not do this. Before Qin Zhiyuan entered the canteen, Dong Xingxiu had already ordered various meals from some ordinary display windows. This was Qin Zhiyuan's lunch.

Why?

How simple it is to prevent poisoning. If normal procedures are followed, Qin Zhiyuan's meal will always take an hour to be served. During the entire production process, not only Qin Zhiyuan's personal bodyguards will supervise, but there will also be specialized personnel taster.

While Qin Zhiyuan and Bastian were chatting, Ito Tomoe and Chiba Taro also entered the cafeteria.

"I heard that the devil will come tomorrow. If we can execute a perfect assassination, will it be an opportunity for Japan to rise again?" Chiba Taro's imagination was wide open.

"Okay, you go ahead." Tomoji Ito had no expression on his face, but in the next second, Tomoji Ito suddenly picked up the plate in front of him and hit Taro Chiba hard on the head, still cursing endlessly. : "You bastard, do you want to kill all of us? Do you know what the consequences will be if you do that? Do you know that Japan simply cannot withstand such a blow? You bastard, if you want to If you die, just go jump into the sea yourself and don’t hurt others..."

Poor Chiba Taro didn't dare to reply and let the vegetable soup flow from the top of his head down his face, looking extremely embarrassed.

Just look at Japan now.
