Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Although infantry tactics were mentioned, if a military academy is really to be opened, it is likely that the garrisons in various places will have to organize learning. However, the textbooks are mainly from the French. They are very professional in this regard. The developed cultural undertakings in France have also led to a lot of writings in various fields.

Solovyov was unlucky, sandwiched between the French-speaking champagne Russia and the Russian-speaking vodka Russia, and he could see the magic and wonder of these two worlds.

For him, it would be better to be a nanny in the palace with children to teach young officers, at least the children are quite obedient to him.

However, soldiers who can take care of children sound very strong in combat.

This is a misunderstanding, but there is no way, who asked him to translate a book, and there is really such a person in it.

As for some seemingly not very important areas in the preparation for war, now a huge breakthrough has been made.

That's right, it's the wooden-handled grenade. Except for the poor gunpowder, this thing has reached the standard that Solovyov wanted.

Grenade that can explode, black powder, and explode after a few seconds of pulling the string can now be mass-produced.

When the Guards were equipped before, although the soldiers of the Guards, except for the Guards Jagdrans, were all called grenadiers, except for the Izmailov Regiment, which had seen the Jagdrans use Molotov cocktails in Italy, they were not very interested in new weapons.

Especially in the bomb throwing experiment conducted by Soloviev, the Molotov cocktails were very powerful but not very safe, and the reliability of the wooden-handled grenades was very poor at the time.

In addition, the explosion effect of black powder also made the Guards soldiers somewhat resistant.

However, under the insistence of War Minister Sergei Kuzmich, Izhevsk had already started to fill the production gap of grenades when it had just started production before resuming the manufacture of firearms.

Now, it is considered that the 1804 grenade has been successfully produced without squeezing out the resources of the Tula Arsenal, and it is mass-produced.

After seeing the real thing, Soloviev knew that this thing was still quite atmospheric. It would take a while to explode after it was fired.

This is a classic problem of wooden-handled grenades, and there may be embarrassing scenes of throwing back and forth between the two sides.

However, this explosive power can be used and can cause casualties.

After all, after the sheep was slaughtered, shrapnel was really dug out from the mutton.

"This can still cause some casualties, but. Colonel, do you really need to do this when you want to demonstrate?"

"It has nothing to do with mutton. I do need some pickled pork for demonstration. After the bullet is shot in, and the shrapnel of the grenade is shot in, it can be effective when it is cut open."

If it is shown to the Tsar, it is also simple and straightforward. The killing effect can be seen when it is cut open.

In this way, the cavity effect can also be seen for the first time.

In the future, Solovyov will have more damaging tricks. For example, after having a copper shell, some people can modify the bullet, which will be more lethal.

For inhumane bullets such as dum bullets, no matter whether they are directly produced or modified by themselves, the principle is also very clear.

When executing a prisoner, a shot to the head can quickly end the person's pain, but the head is like a rotten watermelon, which is also shameful.

As for the shooting range, such a performance is required so that the curious Alexander can also have a direct experience.

Moreover, Solovyov can see that he brought Ekaterina out again. This sister is really inseparable from him and often appears in the same occasion, especially after the first three sisters got married.

Of course, he often goes in and out of the palace, and he knows that their family relationship has not crossed the line. If it really crosses the line, there should be more outrageous rumors in the outside world.

"Your Majesty, can I start now?"

"Of course, Colonel, you can order the soldiers to line up and shoot now. But I have a question."

Obviously, Alexander is still a little serious today.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"

"Why do we use these lard and pickled fat when demonstrating here?"

"Your Majesty, this is to have a more intuitive impression and see the damage caused by bullets to the flesh. After all, in addition to muscles, there are fat and internal organs in the human body."

Speaking of this, Soloviev also noticed that Ekaterina, this little girl, was obviously not afraid of this, and it seemed that scaring her with more terrifying things would not be very effective.

For example, during a hunting trip, she was most active when eating venison.

If she was asked to eat bear heart raw, I'm afraid she would have the courage to do so.

"Okay, you can start, after all, you are responsible for the order of the training ground today."

After receiving the order, Soloviev gave orders to the selected guards.

The distances they shot ranged from 30 to 200 Arshin, and they were facing a few pieces of pickled fat.

Of course, food cannot be wasted, and they are all placed on the table. The parts that are not bad will be taken back later.

This amount is enough to last for a while, and it looks very intuitive.

However, the caliber of the muskets of this era ranged from 12 to 19.5 mm, and the bullets were lead, which was definitely far inferior to the pointed bullets.

After the volley was over, the soldiers who did not participate in the shooting had to carry this thing over.

Then, the pickled fat was cut open.

What Alexander saw after he left the field was also cut open, and the trajectory was very intuitive.

Soloviev frowned a little, because the cavity effect was not so obvious.

This is also closely related to the current level of ammunition.

Of course, the projectile also passed through, except for the two pieces shot from a long distance, which remained inside because of the loss of kinetic energy.

This amount of lead is still far less than the daily wine and lead of the Romans. That was a way of enjoying life without regard for life.

After watching it, Alexander did not feel surprised, but just looked at it a few more times and roughly understood the situation.

Moreover, he did not make any comments, but Soloviev knew that he still had an idea in his mind.

As for the bombing performance to be seen next, this time all five regiments will send people to the battle.

After all, grenades are already standard equipment, but in training, today they use live ammunition and will be thrown directly into the shooting range.

In order to ensure safety, there are guardrails here on the viewing platform as a protective measure.

Moreover, the distance is also guaranteed.

Solovyov also knew that there would always be people who would slip up, such as when playing football, some people could throw the ball to their own home.

However, he didn't know that Nanxiong Tai was more or less affected by his teammates' blind positioning, and the misjudgment caused the "Hand of Yama".

The soldiers of the Guards were still guaranteed to be good at throwing grenades, especially today they got live ammunition.

After throwing several groups of grenades in a row, the explosions could be heard from a distance, but a telescope was still needed to see clearly.

Alexander himself used a monocular telescope, while Ekaterina used opera glasses when watching from the side.

However, the magnification of opera glasses was obviously not enough, and the monocular telescope could see very clearly, but it could not provide binocular vision.

When Solovyov saw this scene, he thought of a problem, optical lenses, and then binoculars.

Of course, he wanted to copy Zeiss's things, but he didn't know that the founder of Carl Zeiss, Mr. Zeiss, his father had received funding from Saxe-Weimar. Maria and her husband did it.

If he knew, he would probably think that it was boring to do everything in a self-centered way.

In military reconnaissance, holding binoculars in one hand is indeed more concealed than holding a monocular in both hands, and it is also more labor-saving - although soldiers generally don't have to consider "labor-saving".

However, he has to make a batch now, and he doesn't know if he can catch up on time, and this processing also has requirements.

"Your Majesty, when I saw you using a telescope and your highness using opera glasses, I thought about if it could be improved into binoculars to provide binocular vision. This is very promising for both military and civilian use."

"That's a good idea, Solovyov, your mind is really smart. If it can be done, I can give you a patent, just like every rifle you design and every box of grenades you invent have your patent fees."

Seeing this, everyone also knows what Solovyov relies on to make money, in addition to his ancestral skills as a profiteer.

Although some inventions, patents and franchises are time-limited, they can also form an initial monopoly effect, and a lot of money can be made here.

And Solovyov is also very smart. He doesn't keep all of them to himself. He also directly offers ideas. Alexander hears them and approves them if he thinks they are useful.

After putting down the monocular telescope, the Tsar himself also praised the guards.

"Our guards are really great. This new grenade is much better than the previous one that needs to be ignited!"

After pulling it, it will also smoke, and then throw it out quickly.

The explosion effect is very obvious, but the power of this shrapnel is just so-so.

However, it can already cause casualties, and it is easier to throw, which is much better than the previous ball.

The important thing is that during the attack, it can be thrown to a very far place, and some people can even throw it far without a run-up.

Such weapons are still very useful.

As for the telescope, Solovyov has now considered that the royal family needs the jewelry factory near Peterhof to polish the lens and then manufacture it. After all, the earliest Zeiss mirror was made in this environment. Before this company appeared, the Zeiss family already had a family craft.

First, it should be equipped to the generals, and then the senior officers.

Of course, this thing is still not very friendly to Count Kutuzov.

But the quality of the trial-made thing also depends on the effect in the future.

When he saw the things in the hands of the royal siblings today, he could still recall the binoculars, and he could also bring out this invention fifty years in advance.

You must know that during the Napoleonic Wars, everyone used monocular telescopes, and some people also needed telescope stands.

For example, Mr. Caulaincourt, the special telescope stand for Napoleon seen in the series

This way of observation has a better visual effect, and can more effectively estimate the target distance. The role of binocular vision is still very obvious.

But Solovyov still needs to explain in writing how the things he wants to make came from.

When he returned home and looked at the plan he had taken out, he could only smile bitterly.

After all, if these designs are to be practical, he needs to explain them clearly before he can invite craftsmen to achieve this goal.

There is no doubt about this. He started working quickly and used the weekend to quickly complete the explanation.

It’s just that Russia has an Academy of Sciences, but no Academy of Engineering. Otherwise, if he keeps doing this, he will have to add one sooner or later.

Of course, the Academy of Sciences also has a demand for telescopes, and there are indeed a group of scholars from Europe who are proving this plan.

Among them, there is also a man named Euler.

He is not a mathematician, but his descendant who came to Russia to serve. His military branch is still an engineer, and he is taking the route of a military engineer.

Solovyov will also be called to the Academy of Sciences. In the past, those scholars only knew that he had some insights in the fields of health and biology. This time it is a new invention.

During this demonstration process, Solovyov was like defending a paper. He rubbed his head and came out of the venue.

Adela felt distressed when she saw him like this.

"Sir, you still need to take care of your health."

"Ah, although I have never been to college, I have enjoyed the treatment of thesis defense. It's terrible, and there are still so many problems."

But there are also benefits, that is, his invention patent has been passed, and the principle has been certified.

However, it still needs to be kept confidential before the finished product is taken out.

After all, the principle of some things is actually very simple, and they are even a combination of inventions that have appeared in the past, or the theory has been verified long ago, but there is no finished product.

If you learn from it, it is still very easy.

For example, the matter of mercury fulminate, the British just had some signs, and some people on the European continent have mastered certain preparation techniques.

Soloviev solved the problem of rifle primer that he had been worried about.

Now, there are grenades and telescopes again, and he still has a lot of things to do.

For infantry tactics, the use of grenades should be divided into attack and defense, which ultimately depends on the situation on the battlefield.

It is another step forward. I believe that Russian soldiers will like this thing. Although it is black powder, it is powerful enough to cause damage to the enemy.

Especially when defending a fortress, it is more convenient to use, and there is no need to take any ignition measures, just pull the ring.

However, there is a certain chance of duds, such as chicken soup
