Prince Alexander and Yakov and other ministers were instantly attracted after hearing it.

"Can the artillery be carried by one person?"

"It's impossible!"

In their cognition, artillery and artillery are all bulky guys.

Even the smallest caliber of artillery requires a few people to push it away.

When you get here, can you carry it alone?

Incredible!

It always feels a bit bragging.

"I never lie. If you don't believe me, I can show it to you now. It just so happened that we also brought mortars this time." Li Lin smiled.

In fact, since the mortar has not been invented yet, the world really cannot understand this portable artillery.

The invention of the mortar was that before World War I, during the Goose Island War, a general tried to refit an old-fashioned 47mm naval mortar on a gun mount with wheels to fire a long tail at a high elevation angle. The shells turned out to be effective in killing the devils in the trenches and repelling the devils' repeated attacks. This gun uses long super-caliber mortar shells with a total mass of 11.5kg, a range of 50~400m, and a firing angle of 45°~65°. This kind of artillery, which was born in an emergency on the battlefield, was called "Lightning Cannon" at that time, and it was the earliest mortar in the world.

"Oh? Then what are you waiting for, find a place to try it out!" Prince Alexandra looked forward to it.

"Okay!"

an hour later.

Still Prince Bowery's stable.

"Is this a mortar?" Prince Alexandre was slightly surprised when he looked at such a short-segmented and small-caliber artillery piece.

"Yes, it consists of two parts, the barrel, and the gun mount! It's similar to a machine gun." Li Lin quickly installed it and explained it for a hundred years.

"The installation speed is a bit fast!" Yakov exclaimed slightly.

"Yes, the installation can be completed in a few minutes when you meet a suitable ground level. If you encounter some places with poor foundations, you need to use an engineer shovel to dig out a soil pit that can stabilize the artillery mount." Li Lin continued to explain .

Within minutes, a mortar was installed.

"This cannon doesn't have a rope!" Prince Alexandre bowed and looked carefully.

"Our cannonball is a kind of cannonball specially designed for this type of artillery. There is another firing pin inside. The cannonball can be fired by dropping the cannonball from the muzzle and hitting the base of the barrel." Li Lin explained.

"It turns out that it is very convenient!" Prince Alexandre's eyes lit up.

"Yes, a skilled artilleryman can fire 30 rounds a minute!"

"Thirty shells fired in one minute? That's one shell in 2 seconds!" Yakov's voice was astonished.

"Yes."

"Hurry up and start, I can't wait to see how it works!" Prince Alexandra urged.

"Okay!"

"Li Kongjing, act as my bomber." Li Lin instructed Li Kongjing beside him.

"Yes, boss."

Li Lin slightly adjusted the position of the muzzle, 45° shooting angle.

After checking again that the artillery was erected without any potential safety hazards, he directly picked up a mortar shell, placed it at the mouth of the barrel, and released his hand.

gollum...

Everyone heard the sound of the shells rubbing against the wall of the barrel.

puff.

in the end!

boom!

A muffled sound.

The shells flew out from the base of the barrel immediately.

call out……

A few hundred meters away, it exploded.

Before the sound of the explosion dissipated, Li Lin put the second shell in again.

so repeated.

Bang bang bang!

boom boom boom...

More than 20 shells were thrown into it in one minute.

That effect really exploded!

"Really fast!" Prince Alexandre and the others were all shocked.

"The power of the explosion is not bad."

"Yes, its maximum range: 1840 meters, minimum range: 91 meters, that is to say, it is definitely very useful for hitting enemy machine gun positions or trenches. We can be accurate hundreds of meters away. Strike!" Li Lin continued to introduce.

"The total weight of the gun: 19.07 kg. In the battlefield, the fire support is very fast. It is especially suitable for mountain warfare and trench warfare!"

"Okay, this artillery is really good." Although Prince Alexandre didn't know much about things on the battlefield, it was light and easy to carry, and two people could form a shelling group, which was a very good advantage.

"So, Your Royal Highness, are you interested in purchasing a batch?" Li Lin looked at the other party with a smile.

"I don't know what the price is?" Prince Alexandre asked rhetorically.

"Our mortar costs 1,500 pounds, and the shells are 5 pounds a shot." Li Lindao.

Prince Alexandre nodded after listening to it, and compared the price of the machine gun. The price of the artillery is within the range that he can accept. As for the price of the shell, it is similar.

"I have to go back and discuss before deciding whether to purchase, but I need to bring a mortar back to show the specific battlefield value to those generals." Prince Alexandre said.

"of course can."

Soon, Prince Alexandre left with a mortar and hundreds of shells.

In the next few days, Li Lin continued to wait for news.

...

In a barracks in the suburbs.

When a group of generals watched the shelling performance of the M2-60mm mortar, they were all shocked.

"I didn't expect to have such a fast-firing artillery!"

"The most important thing is that it is easy to use, light, and very suitable for transferring artillery positions~lightnovelpub.net~ It is indeed a good artillery!"

"His Royal Highness, I think I can purchase a batch!"

"I agree too."

"This Li's Weapons Company has really given us a lot of surprises. Originally, it was an unknown weapons company and did not expect to have these good weapons!"

...

On this day, he was once again invited by Prince Alexandria.

"Li Lin, we plan to purchase a batch of M2-60mm mortars! But do you have any discounts? After all, we have purchased a lot of machine guns before." Prince Alexandre narrowed his eyes.

"If we buy more at the price, we can indeed get a discount." Li Lin smiled.

After all, the two sides are now close arms trading partners, and it is not impossible to offer some discounts.

"We plan to purchase a thousand mortars and 3 million shells!" Prince Alexandre said proudly.

Li Lin listened to the secret thought in his heart, another big business!

"I would like to save £50 per door, how about that?"

"We bought so much to get this discount, and less!"

In the end, the two sides launched a fierce bargaining.

In the end, Li Lin sold it to the other party at a price of 1,400 pounds, but the price of the shells remained unchanged at 5 pounds a shell.

He knew in his heart that the shells were the things that made a lot of money in the future!

£15m for shells, £1.4m for mortars.

That adds up to another £16.4 million order, plus the previous £13.5 million order, this time a full £29.9 million order! Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
