Fox of France

v1 Chapter 324: , Order

Seeing the performance of the French captain, Bagration smiled slightly. From the captain's reaction, he already got the answer. Generally speaking, if the French are able to open their mouths on this somewhat transcendent question, it can only mean that they have been prepared for a long time. Such an answer is mostly unreliable; if the French wants to think about it for a while, it means he I am compiling the answer now. This answer is naturally unreliable; and if he refuses to answer, it means that he does not know how to cover up the truth, and your guess is probably correct. The fastest mobile phone update::

And in Bagration’s view, compared to the revolver, the shotgun has a moderate length, and its range and accuracy far exceed those of the revolver. Therefore, the French cavalry has no reason not to use this as their main equipment. Bagration knew that any weapons displayed by the French in this exercise could be put on the shelves or in the future. For example, the French breech gun may not be available for sale immediately, because the French also sell front-mounted rifled guns. But in the future, it will probably be available.

And this kind of gun that can be shown to him in public, and even let him shoot in person, can definitely be seen on the quotation sheet of Bonaparte Arsenal immediately. Bagration thought that when he goes back, he must make his Majesty the Tsar spend as much money as possible to equip his cavalry with a batch of such things. Otherwise, once his cavalry encounters a foreign cavalry equipped with such weapons , Then this battle is simply impossible to fight.

Of course, it would be better if you could imitate this kind of firearm, but Bagration knew that it was mostly useless. It is not because of anything else, but mainly because of material issues. To this day, mass production of steel is still one of the core commercial secrets in France. Although countries are trying their best to steal this secret, whether they are on the side of France or pretending to be on the side of France, they still know very little until now. But it is said that the British are already conducting some experiments, but even if everything goes well for them, it will take a lot of time.

As for Russia, although Bagration is very patriotic, he also has to admit that in terms of science and technology, Russia is completely incomparable with advanced countries like France and the United Kingdom. It is comparable to a country like Prussia that was hung up and beaten by the French. Russia is also a younger brother. Although if the French invaded Russia, Bagration felt that Russia could finally repel the enemy with its great strategic depth and perseverance, but steelmaking technology could not be changed by these.

"Russia really wants to cheer, otherwise..." Bagration once again remembered the confrontation he had with Napoleon in Italy with Marshal Suvorov. Although the battle ended with a peace talk, Marshal Suvorov did not shy away from saying that in the military, the Russian army failed. It was only because of the unfavorable strategic situation that the French were forced to take the initiative to seek peace. If it were not for the containment of the North, the Russian-Prussian army alone would really be unable to defeat Napoleon's French army in Italy.

However, although the French army was already very strong at that time, it was not as strong as the French army in the military exercises yesterday. If at that time, they faced a law of this level in Italy. Army, it is estimated that Napoleon would not even think about making a peace with them, but would just destroy them in one go. And Bagration himself thought about it, and felt that if he was facing such a French army at the time, it would really be difficult to persist for a day, or even half a day.

Looking at the situation of the Russian army alone, Bagration felt that the Russian army had made considerable progress since the battle with the French in Italy, but after watching the French exercises, Bagration had to admit that , The progress of the French army is greater and more obvious.

Of course, Bagration still discovered a weakness of the French army, that is, their style of play is too expensive. This is not only about spending a lot of money, but also about the huge amount of materials consumed by the French army. Therefore, if the French army invades Russia, considering Russia's poor road traffic conditions, the French should simply not be able to send enough supplies to the frontline troops. Unless they stop and wait for the road to be built every time they play a paragraph. From this point of view, Russia's backwardness has become his armor.

"Fortunately, we don't border France. But we must be equipped with more new weapons than Ottomans!" Bagration couldn't help thinking like this.

If Bagration could comfort himself by considering that we are not bordered by France, then Jack Obery, the representative of the British Navy, was about to die at this time. Because he is watching the French navy's exercise to intercept smuggling ships on the "Free Trade" at this time.

The background of this exercise was designed like this: an armed group tried to use armed **** to carry out smuggling activities. The French battleship "Free Trade" was ordered to intercept and destroy the smuggling fleet.

"Damn it! What kind of armed gang can do smuggling with fleet arms? It's...it was the French who used to fly smuggling back then, it didn't use fleet escort. Where is Temo's anti-smuggling? This is obviously an exercise on how to conduct a naval blockade!” Lieutenant Colonel Jack Obery immediately understood when he saw the background of this exercise, that so-called "armed group" is probably the United King’s navy?

The fleets of the armed groups are three old French second-tier battleships. Although they have strong firepower, they are not at the same level as the "Free Trade" in terms of speed and flexibility. The "Free Trade" is in line with them. In the "Eagle Catch the Chicken" game, it easily bypassed the interception of the battleships, and then smashed the merchant ships one by one.

Considering that although the United Kingdom has many battleships, its merchant fleet is more. In fact, it is impossible for the United Kingdom to equip each merchant fleet with as many as three battleship escorts. Therefore, most merchant fleets, as long as they are unlucky and encounter the "Free Trade", they will definitely be finished.

"Shit's "Free Trade", is this ship built to destroy free trade, right?" Lieutenant Colonel Jack Aubrey couldn't help thinking.

But if Joseph knew what he was thinking, he would definitely retort: ​​"Nonsense, our'free trade number' is for us to trade you freely. If you still want to trade freely with others, um, I have A quotation, you can take a look."

France has put the "free trade" class frigates on the transaction list. As long as you have money, you can buy this thing directly from France. But all fools know how much money the French can make when selling this kind of stuff. As long as the British buy one, the French can use the money given by the British to build two more for themselves.

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ Even so, you still have to buy. At least, it's good to buy it back and study the propeller. Besides, the technical level of the UK is not bad. With samples, you can really look at the copycat. Although the steel keel cannot be estimated, the quality of the copycat will probably be inferior to the original, but it can be used anyway.

It's just that the French are really a bit hateful. They don't want to sell the rear-mounted guns. Therefore, the ships bought back, and the ships that will come out of the cottage in the future, can only use the front-mounted rifled guns. This also means that they need several ships to fight a French ship. This is really... In addition, the breakthrough in steelmaking technology is still indefinitely, so even the front-mounted rifled gun must be purchased from France.

"Damn it, after you go back, you must convince the Congress to cut off those **** army expenses as much as possible!" After much deliberation, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Obery only came up with such a good way.

Of course the guys in the army will definitely object, but which one is more important, the navy or the army, isn’t this common sense in the United Kingdom? Once the navy can't stand it, does anyone think that the United Kingdom's army can protect them? Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Obery felt that his proposal should eventually be supported by Parliament.

As a result, after two exercises, various orders began to fly toward the Bonaparte Armory.
