Of course Shi Xiong knew this information.

　　 First of all, he was a puppet military fan before crossing, even if he brought a "pseudo" in front of him, he was also a military fan?

　　Secondly, he was a cultural protection staff in the museum before the soul-churning. He may have not seen some old objects with historical significance, but he has definitely seen the information. For example, how can the materials of the Brown Bess rifle that once occupied an important position in the American Wars of Independence, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic era, and the US-Mexico war escape the eyes of the stone bear?

　　 The most critical point is that Shi Xiong went to the United States to study and study before the soul wear. As an overbearing character, he always likes to learn something in advance to enrich himself, so that he has more adequate preparation during the study and study period.

　　 Therefore, Shi Xiong has carefully studied some of the history of the United States, as well as some important things, people, and important events.

　　 Regarding the main types of muskets equipped by the British army in a single-force war, how could it be impossible for Shi Xiong to figure out the information of this rifle?

　　 Throughout the history of British ordnance, there is absolutely no weapon comparable to the Brown Beth series rifles. Even if the United Kingdom has always ignored the army, even if the British invincible navy dominates the world for more than 100 years, even if the British battleships once made the world tremble, it is not an exaggeration to say that in the history of British ordnance, no weapon can be like a brown shell. The silk rifle has been so dominating for 132 years!

　　 That’s right, this legendary firearm has been born with difficulty in 1722 until the end of the post-Napoleonic era. Brown Beth has witnessed how the British Empire rose.

Although the British Empire's conquest continued when the Brown Beth rifle was retired, and the Brown Bess flintlock rifle-this veteran who served the British Empire for nearly 132 years and a loyal comrade of the Red Shirt Army, Louis X Fourth, the foe who has never forgotten when he ends up hating Napoleon, even if he has made great achievements in the battle, he will not be able to match the white hair on his temples, and the old man.

　　 In 1839, Britain stopped all production of flintlock rifles. By 1854, the firing weapon based on the brown bass also ushered in the end of its military career, and the brown bass rifle completely withdrew from the stage of history.

But in the next one and a half centuries, no other weapon could dominate the history of human war for more than two hundred years like a flintlock, and no flintlock could dominate the sun like a brown beth rifle. The empire has a full 132 years.

　　 In the early 18th century, the Spanish Succession War broke out. The two sides in the duel were the British-Austrian coalition and the French-Bavarian coalition.

In the famous Battle of Blenham, the Anglo-Austrian coalition under the command of John Churchill, Duke of Marble, defeated the 56,000-strong French-Bavarian coalition with 52,000 Anglo-Austrian coalition forces, over 40,000. The Pakistani soldiers were killed, wounded and captured, while the British-Austrian coalition forces totaled about 13,000 casualties.

　　 Although the British and Austrian coalition forces have achieved victory, a series of problems caused by the uneven production technology of the British military muskets in the Spanish succession war were exposed. Although the French were defeated, the rifles manufactured by the French based on standardization were the envy of the British.

　　 So the British at that time also decided to develop a standardized production shotgun. So on September 15, 1714, shortly after the end of the war, the Royal Ordnance Bureau of the British Empire signed an arms development contract. The main content of the contract included soliciting design opinions from private ordnance dealers on preferential terms, and then the Ordnance Bureau authorities Approval of production.

　　 said that the European countries in the late modern times. Military light weapons came from this way, but in the early modern times, especially the conservative Britain, this was a bold decision.

　　 However, this contract has not been implemented so smoothly. As soon as this contract appeared, it was strongly opposed by the conservative forces in various circles in the UK.

　　 Among these opposition forces, the British officer regiment forces are at the forefront.

In the era when the uniforms and equipment were not completely unified, the government often only distributed maintenance funds to the troops, and how to use the funds under the institutional framework was basically the responsibility of the regiments and battalions-even in the British army of that era. Officers’ positions can be purchased directly as long as they meet certain conditions. In the United Kingdom, this system even lasted until 1871. In history, the "long live brave and invincible" Duke of Wellington was at the beginning of his military career. Relying on this system to buy from the ensign to the major, this gave a glorious start to his career...

This system gave the middle-level officers of the British army a lot of freedom at the time. Many officers could control the cost of equipment to pocket the remaining money, and standardized production and procurement of weapons would undoubtedly affect their "legal" income. Their opposition is justified.

　　 There are also some private arms dealers who are also resisting. Standardized weapon production is not only a challenge to the traditional arms industry that pursues diversification, but those with vested interests absorbed under the traditional procurement system are likely to lose their original iron jobs.

Although there are many opposition forces, the British Ordnance Bureau finally eliminated all difficulties. In 1722, it took eight years to finally develop a smooth shotgun based on standardized manufacturing. This rifle is the Brown Beth rifle. !

After the Brown Beth rifle was finalized in 1728, this rifle has been continuously improved in continuous production, from a simple army model to later naval and militia models; from the earliest long model to the later short model ......

　　 Anyway, the models of the Brown Beth rifle can’t be said to be countless~www.readwn.com~ But the number of models is also rare in the history of modern ordnance.

　　 In the just-concluded Seven Years' War, some of the British soldiers were equipped with P1756 long shotguns, and before independent warfare, this gun was gradually replaced by the navy/militia short brown bees. During the war alone, the British soldiers were mostly equipped with short brown bees...

With the shot fired in Wisconsin, the British suddenly realized that their status in the entire world was suddenly challenged. Some European countries began to reach a simple and rude consensus on the issue of war alone. —Never let those **** British guys live in peace!

The plot after 　　 is very old-fashioned, such as the continuous conflicts between the European Union and the European Union during the war alone, the continuous looting of the British routes in the Atlantic, and the lack of supply of military supplies...

　　 Britain’s military industry is facing tremendous pressure again, and it is the red shirts who are struggling to run and the new generation of infantry muskets they are equipped with-the P1777 short ground musket.

　　 P1777 short land combat muskets began mass production during the independent war. In addition to the production of British arms manufacturers, the United Kingdom also signed huge production contracts with military factories and private contractors of other countries to expand the war reserves. During the eight-year independent war, a total of more than 300,000 short brown bass muskets were produced and outsourced in the UK...
