"Your Majesty, there are 193 bullet holes in the target!" Niel reported to Jerome Bonaparte in a trembling voice.

"In other words, out of 230 bullets, 193 of them hit the target, and only 37 missed, right? Minister Wayan!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a happy smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a frivolous me tone. Minister Wayan asked.

"That's it! Your Majesty!" Minister Wayan's voice was also slightly trembling.

At this time, Minister Wayan's mind has fallen into a temporary standby state, and he can't imagine how subversive changes it will cause to the entire battlefield if this shotgun is used on the battlefield.

The fearless bayonet spirit that the French army had previously believed in will be completely reduced to a joke under the firepower of this weapon.

"Minister Wayan!" Jerome Bonaparte heard Minister Wayan's fear, and he hurriedly pursued the victory: "If each battalion of the enemy has two machine guns of this type, will our existing tactical system be? A firepower network capable of breaking through the enemy's deployment!"

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's words, Minister Wayan imitated the scene in his mind.

The army of a regiment (that is, three battalions) led by him, as the attacker, captured the heights occupied by Jérôme Bonaparte.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte on the heights had only one battalion of troops, but they had two machine guns.

General Vaillant's army, in battalion formations (a tactic unique to France), attacked the heights occupied by Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately ordered the only two machine guns under his command to shoot at General Vaillant, and the machine guns continued to shoot out a continuous fire snake.

Soldiers under Wayan began to crumble during the harvest of machine guns.



"Minister Wayan, Wayan!

"Just as Minister Wayan was simulating in his mind the army was mercilessly slaughtered by machine guns, Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached Minister Wayan's ears.

Wayant, who had recovered his senses, looked at Jerome Bonaparte with a hint of horror. Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly put on a gentle smile, and asked in a calm tone: "Minister Wayan, What do you think of this weapon?"

"Your Majesty, I think this weapon is really bad!" Minister Wayan immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at Wayan with a look of astonishment. He did not understand what exactly the Minister of Wayan was dissatisfied with.

In the period before the Maxim heavy machine gun was invented, the "Gatling machine gun" was the pinnacle of rapid-fire weapons.

A weapon that can outperform a "Gatling Gun" in rapid fire is nothing but the Belgian Montigny.

During the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the French army in history used the Montigny machine gun produced by Belgium.

However, the Montini machine gun can only outperform the "Gatling machine gun" in rapid fire. In other respects, the Montini machine gun was mercilessly crushed by the "Gatling machine gun".

The most terrible of them is the Montini machine gun that weighs nearly half a ton and is so complicated that only one part damages the entire machine gun and the precision is completely scrapped.

No one would be willing to push a half-ton or so to the front line, let alone if the internal parts of the Montini were slightly damaged, then the entire Montini machine gun would have to be rebuilt.

Pushing the half-ton serious off the battlefield is also a problem.

The weight of the Gatling machine gun is obviously much lighter than that of the Montini machine gun, and even if the weight of the gun mount is added, it is less than one-third of the Montini machine gun.

Even if the Gatling gun is damaged, soldiers can easily push it into the battlefield.

"What do you think is bad?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Minister Wayan curiously, "I can let Alfonso Chassabé continue to revise it!"

Alfonso Xia Saibo's face showed a trace of anxiety after being denied, and he also asked Minister Wayan: "Your Excellency Minister, what am I doing wrong! You say it, I will change it immediately! "

After Minister Wayan pondered for a moment, I said to Jerome Bonaparte in a slightly sad and indignant tone: "Your Majesty, I admit that this weapon is really good, but you don't think that the appearance of this weapon is too much. Too cruel!"

Jerome Bonaparte stared at Minister Wayan with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that this sentence came from a minister of war.

Is my appointment a general or a virgin.

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but complained in his heart.

"Minister Wayan, the war should not destroy all the enemy's living forces in the shortest possible time!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Wayan coldly: "If you don't even know this, then your war Don't be a minister anymore!"

Seeing Jerome Bonaparte's anger, Minister Wayan hurriedly explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I agree with the saying that war is to destroy the enemy's living forces in the shortest possible time, but in my opinion War should be a head-to-head fight between two armies face to face with bayonets in their hands.

Cavalry and artillery are embellishments before the frontal fight. "

Minister Wayan paused, pointed to the "Gatling machine gun" and continued: "In my opinion, the appearance of this gun has seriously violated the original intention of the war..."

Minister Wayan’s explanation as if possessed by the staff of the Showa era made Jerome Bonaparte realize why the historical Gatling mechanism was only adopted by the mainstream army more than ten years after its invention (here refers to the British, French, Russian and Austrian). Germany) approved.

Presumably the vast majority of people in this period believed that war was a confrontation between infantry and infantry bayonet.

Foul weapons like the Gatling gun are bound to go against the "tradition" of war.

Weapons that go against tradition like this are destined to be resisted by the military overtly and secretly.

[ps: The introduction of the Montigny machine gun in history was also resisted by the French military. It was Napoleon III who insisted that the army was equipped with the Montigny machine gun.

It’s just that Napoleon III at that time used the Montini machine gun as a winning weapon, which was highly confidential. Ordinary soldiers only came into contact with such weapons after the Franco-Prussian War.

And the idea of ​​​​the Montigny machine gun was also wrong at the time. The French military used the Montigny machine gun as an artillery gun and placed it in the rear of the troops.

As a result, after the Franco-Prussian War began, only the Montini machine gun with a range of 400 yards and the Napoleon bronze gun with a range of 3,000 yards were greeted by the 4,000-yard Krupp cannon.

The Montini machine gun was only a short-lived on the battlefield, and then completely fell. 】

"Minister Wayan, I don't agree with your point of view!" Before Jerome Bonaparte could speak, Chief Niel retorted: "The purpose of our war is not to fight heartily, but It is to eliminate as many opponents as possible!

If there is a faster way to destroy the opponent, why can't we use it! "

"If we rely too much on weapons, it doesn't mean that our army is too weak to fight!" Minister Wayan retorted Jerome Bonaparte in a low voice.

"Minister Wayan, you have to understand one thing, the outcome of a war is always determined by the person who uses the weapon!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Wayan with a serious expression, "An army's will to fight does not Depending on the weapon, the will to fight with a strong weapon is not necessarily weak, and the will to fight with a weak weapon is not necessarily strong!

In our battle in Crimea, Russia's weapons are weaker than ours!

Their fighting will is not the same as their weapons, they will collapse at a touch! "

Having said this, Jerome Bonaparte paused for a while, and then continued: "Nielle, Wayan, remember that war is the last option of last resort, and there are bound to be casualties behind every war. , every soldier's death represents a family.

I hope you will be kind to the life of every soldier and officer under your command, because they only have one like you.

My purpose of equipping breech guns and machine guns is also to reduce the deaths of our soldiers.

In order to reduce their sacrifice as much as possible, I would rather give up the so-called original intention!

have you understood? "

A look of shame appeared on Minister Wayan's face, and he hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I remember!".

"Now, Minister Wayan, do you have any dissatisfaction!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Minister Wayan again.

Minister Wayan looked at the "Gatling Gun" carefully, and then said respectfully to Alfonso Xia Saipo: "Mr. Xia Saipo, can you add a few more barrels?"

Alfonso Chasepo thought for a moment, then glanced at Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, and Alfonso Xia Saipo turned his head to Minister Wayan and replied, "Your Excellency Minister, how many do you want to increase?"

"How about 8 doors?" Minister Wayan asked Alfonso Xia Saibo.

"Yes, yes! However, it will take some time!" Alfonso Xia Saibo responded to Minister Wayan. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"I can wait!" Minister Wayan responded to Alfonso Xia Saipo.

Immediately afterwards, Niel also proposed an idea. He hoped that the hub-type gun mount could be improved to a rotary-type gun mount, so that the machine gun could more easily harvest the enemy.

"This is also possible, but it will also take some time!" Alfonso Xia Saipo replied to Chief Niel.

"Your Majesty, if Mr. Xia Saibo can achieve these two points, we are willing to purchase their equipment!" Minister Wayan said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Xia Saibo, how much time do you need to improve!" Jerome Bonaparte also asked Alfonso Xia Saibo.

"Two... No, one and a half months! Your Majesty, I only need one and a half months!" Alfonso Chassibo replied to Jerome Bonaparte with a certain pivot.

"I'll give you a month and a half, and in this month and a half, everyone in the R&D center will be assigned to you!

You must give me a satisfactory answer after a month and a half! "
