Super Chief

Chapter 579: The need for change

Even if there are already many "scientists" in Beijing now searched from Europe, as well as the biggest gold finger, the stone bear, but with the current technology, I want to develop a new style that surpasses the blasting bear rifle. Rifle, that is a difficult thing.

  However, if you want to castrate the Burst Bear rifle, it's much simpler.

  In fact, the rifle that is currently being produced by the Shangjing Military Factory and is ready to be sold to the British and Americans cannot be regarded as a castrated version of the Burst Bear rifle, but an enhanced version of the Ferguson rifle.

  After all, this rifle does not use a rotating back-pull bolt mechanism, but uses the same rotating locking mechanism as the Ferguson rifle.

  However, the rifling of the barrel has been increased to eight, and the propellant is also smokeless powder, so the effective range of this gun can be increased to about three hundred and fifty yards.

  This enhanced version of the Ferguson rifle was finally named the "Mississippi Rifle" by Stone Bear, meaning that this rifle was produced in a military factory on the banks of the Mississippi River.

  This rifle has not yet been sold to the outside world, but Shixiong is very clear that in terms of rifles used by European powers, once the Mississippi rifle is launched, it will inevitably lead to looting by these powers.

"Boss, do you really intend to sell the Mississippi rifles to those Vasichus? Will this affect our future recovery of the 13 colonies? After all, the effective range of this rifle is about 350 yards. It poses a great threat to our soldiers." Bighorn sheep asked with some worry.

  Shi Xiong looked at the worried bighorn sheep, smiled and said, "Is the Ferguson rifle no threat to us?"

  The bighorn sheep was suffocated by the question, and then nodded with a wry smile: "Well, I think too much."

  Shi Xiong nodded with satisfaction: “The reason why I ordered the development of the Mississippi rifle a few years ago was to prepare for this war on the one hand, and to transform our Grizzly soldiers on the other.”

Shi Xiong stood up, walked in front of the map, and gestured on the map with his hands, saying, "Although we have already laid down such a big place, don't forget who is the enemy we faced before? They are all holding cold hands. Enemies of weapons, they simply pose no threat to the soldiers of the Grizzlies, so our Grizzlies can be invincible and invincible."

"But now and in the future, the enemies we face are Vasichus who are also holding heat weapons..." The stone bear's fingers drew a circle on the 13th colony on the east coast. "And the soldiers of our Grimbear Army We will also face those Vasichus on this battlefield. Therefore, from now on, our Grizzlies soldiers should begin to change the mentality that they used to be able to scare the enemy to collapse by shooting and shooting. We In the future, the soldiers will face Vasichu who can also kill people with a single shot. We can no longer be as unscrupulous as before."

  Bighorn sheep, fast horse, bone spear, including hard bones, all nodded silently.

"In fact, the effective range of the Ferguson rifle is enough to threaten our soldiers, not to mention that those Vasichus still have bullets in their hands. Therefore, the enemies our soldiers will face in the future will be weakened versions. The Grim Bear Army. If our fighting methods still remain psychologically unchanged, then we will definitely suffer."

   Joe La Cruz asked, "Boss, if that's the case, why should we sell them better Mississippi rifles? Isn't this just making ourselves trouble?"

Stone Bear looked at Chora Klulu, and then at the senior commanders of the Grim Bear Army present, and said: "Our Grim Bear soldiers will face more than just the tiles living on this continent in the future. Xichu, they have to face the great powers on the other side of the ocean. Therefore, we must continue to train our Grimbear Army soldiers from now on, so that they can adapt to face stronger enemies as soon as possible. What I want is not A violent bear army that can only dominate the North American continent. What I want is a violent bear army that can defeat those European powers. This process requires blood and lives, but we can’t just because Retreat at this heavy price and fear. We must face this price bravely, so that our Grim Bear Army can become a truly powerful army!"

  Shixiong's words made Kuaoma and the others clenched their fists tightly. Only then did they realize how high and long-term their boss's vision was.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Shi Xiong waved his hand, "When I return to Beijing, I will hold a military meeting to elaborate on this matter. It is good that you are prepared now. Well, we will continue. Discuss the sale of arms."

   "Boss, besides the Mississippi rifle, is the grenadier also on the list of munitions available for sale?" Bighorn Sheep asked.

   But compared to the worry just now, the bighorn sheep now has no worries at all, and even the throwing of the bullet can not make him worry anymore.

"Yes, the grenadier is also on the list. After all, this weapon has been circulating for a long time. Even if we don’t sell it, the Americans and the British have a lot of grenades. So, this thing is for us. There is no need to keep it anymore." Shi Xiong recognized the bighorn sheep's problem.

  The Kuaima on the side laughed and said: "Commander, what our boss actually wants to sell is ammunition, not the tossing canister~lightnovelpub.net~ Shixiong smiled and clicked Kuaima.

  Quaima is right. Stone bears are more willing to take out ammunition than to take out weapons such as grenadiers.

  A rifle or a bullet canister can be used for a long time, but ammunition is an out-and-out consumable.

  Whether it’s a bullet or a grenade used for a bullet-throwing barrel, even a low intensity battle will consume a lot of ammunition. If there are several high-intensity and large-scale battles, the ammunition consumed will inevitably be a jaw-dropping number.

  So, ammunition is the big money maker.

  And compared to rifles and grenades, ammunition is more difficult to imitate.

  In terms of the current technology of the European powers, it is not difficult at all to imitate a bear rifle or a bullet toss, but they are blinded by the ammunition.

  Don’t talk about smokeless gunpowder, the European powers have not even come up with a perfect formula for black powder that has been used for hundreds of years, so Shixiong is not worried that the formula for smokeless gunpowder will be imitated by European powers.

  Firearms and other things can be imitated, but the formula of gunpowder can not be imitated.

  Whether it is Xiaohuazha medicine or smokeless gunpowder, even the effects of bitterness have been unintentionally discovered. Therefore, if there were no coincidences, these advanced gunpowder would be impossible to discover.
