MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 8 Rifle Machine Gun Cannon
In April 1875, the weather in Madrid gradually warmed up. Compared with the cold winter, Alfonso was more suitable for the warm spring.
"Your Majesty, Maxim and Vieri are asking to see you. They are already waiting in the conference room."
Howard opened the door and said to Alfonso, who stood up and moved his muscles because of sitting for a long time.
"Could it be that their research has yielded results?" Alfonso's eyes lit up, and he asked with his hands on the table.
"Let's go, let's have a look." After speaking, he walked towards the conference room in the lead.
Only Howard, who was slightly depressed, was left...
At this time, in the conference room, Maxim Huvieri was talking when the door of the conference room suddenly opened.
"Hey, guys, has the weapon I wanted come to fruition?" Alfonso was more excited, no wonder, this is an epoch-making product.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the thing you asked for has some key points that you provided us. The finished product has already been made." The two looked at each other and replied.
"Where's the stuff?" Alfonso was even more excited.
"We have already arranged the carriage and put it all in the carriage."
Vierily answered first, he always seemed more reliable than Maxim.
It has been a few months since the arrival of Mark and Qin. The smokeless powder, machine guns, rapid-fire artillery, and smokeless rifles they are in charge of, although they have been produced in a few months, feel a little unreliable.
But when a modern person from the 21st century helps them bring up the important points, it is not surprising.
Geniuses may be missing a certain key point, and Alfonso may not know most of them, but he just knows some important points. Such a complementarity is naturally fast.
"Let's go and have a look. I can't wait." Alfonso urged the two of them
"Which of you are going to drive their carriage over, we will go directly to the experimental site to gather."
Along the way, he ordered the guards who were guarding him to take the two to the experimental site.
…
The experimental field of the Royal Palace of Madrid is more like a garden than an experimental field. After all, how could there be such a thing as an experimental field in a royal palace.
After a while, the guards drove the carriage to the side, and several guards hurriedly removed the weapons from the carriage.
"Your Majesty wants to see the test firing of that kind of weapon first." Maxim asked.
"Let's look at machine guns first. I'm most interested in machine guns." Alfonso said, he really had a soft spot for machine guns.
I saw Mark Qin greeted the two guards, they gave a few words, and gestured at the machine gun.
The two soldiers had already stepped in front of the machine gun and started to become proficient.
Two hundred meters away, several soldiers had already moved a large rock.
"Your Majesty, it's ready to shoot." After the soldiers who placed the target stones withdrew, Mark Qin said.
"Let's start! I can't wait." Alfonso couldn't hide his excitement. As a law-abiding Chinese citizen in his previous life, Alfonso had never seen a real gun.
The appearance of the machine gun is very similar to the Maxim machine gun, but there is a slight difference. Above the thick triangular bracket is a barrel with a thick fist, and the bullets are stored in a straight iron box, that is, the magazine.
A machine gun magazine contains 100 rounds of ammunition, and there are dozens of magazines in the car. I think it should be well prepared.
Two soldiers put the magazine on the machine gun slightly jerky, one soldier was dragging a ribbon-like metal bullet, and the other soldier was already at the firing position.
"Pumbaa..." With Alfonso's order, the machine gun began to fire snakes in anger, the bullets fired in rapid succession formed a straight line, and the irritable voice continued.
"Oh, it's so exciting, it's incredible." Alfonso jumped up excitedly.
This violent metal storm could not be rejected by the man, and the large stones in front of them that were used as targets gradually became fragmented from the concave small holes.
"Go and inform General Arsenio, let him come quickly, and tell him that the army's killer has come out."
Alfonso said to another guard, then pointed to the artillery and rifle.
"Quick, try these two too."
And the guard who tested the fire was obviously shocked, and after a while, he realized that he trotted over to get the rifle.
"Man, I'll teach you how to use it." Maxim walked over together and picked up the rifle.
The first characteristic of this rifle is that it is long and compact. It uses the same 7.62mm bullet as Maxim, which is a unified caliber for the convenience of industrial production.
"Peng, Peng,"
Maxim loaded 5 bullets and fired twice in a row. The sound of dripping water sounded. This is the anti-manufacturing version of the Mosin Nagant rifle.
"The effective range of this rifle is 600-800 meters, and it can be loaded with 5 bullets at a time, while all the Dreiser rifles used by the German Army have an effective range of no more than 600 meters and can only be shot in a single shot. Our rifles are now The best in the world."
Mark Qin said with a little interest, after all, this rifle was made by him.
"There is also the last rapid-fire artillery, which has an effective range of 8,500 meters and a theoretical maximum rate of fire of 2 seconds per round, while the German Krupp artillery has a maximum rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute, and their effective range is only 3,500 meters, while France's maximum range is only 2,000 meters."
Vieri said, after all, the limelight can't let Mark Qin go out alone, and he looks like Alfonso.
Before Alfonso could answer, Arsenio hurried over.
"Your Majesty, where are my guns and cannons!"
Arsenio was also a little excited. The army he was in charge of finally added a big killer.
"No, it's these three, and the artillery hasn't been tested yet. Just when you came, let's take a look."
Alfonso pointed to the 75mm gun.
This time, there were no soldiers to operate. In order to experience the fire rate of the artillery, Vieri and Maxim started it themselves, one loaded and the other fired.
"Put, pound, pound, pound..."
In just one minute, the 75mm artillery fired 16 shells.
"It's great, it's great, I don't know when these weapons can be equipped in the army, which can greatly improve our military strength."
Alfonso didn't speak, and turned to look like Howard.
"In the large arsenal on the outskirts of Madrid, three large independent workshops have been opened for the production of these weapons.
Among them, rifles, machine guns and cannons can be installed in the entire army in two months.
But the 7.62mm bullet of the same caliber may not keep up with the supply because Maxim's bullet consumption is relatively large. There will also be a shortage of artillery shells, but the pre-training is guaranteed. "
Howard said meticulously, UU reading www.uukanshu. As the old man behind Alfonso, he had already arranged all this.
"The entire army is reloaded with rifles, two machine guns per shift, and 1,000 cannons. The government placed an order with the Spanish state-owned Military Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to expand the bullet production line of the Madrid Arms Factory. The Madrid Second Factory, which has already started construction, Boer The Goss plant and the Toledo plant are all placed under the Spanish state-owned Military Manufacturing Co., Ltd.”
Alfonso said, "Start manufacturing with all your strength from today, Arsenio, I need you to start today, within 3 months, so that the army can form combat effectiveness."
Arsenio nodded and saluted.
"Let Pareshides contact local textile companies, and make sure the army wears new uniforms within two months"
The new military uniform that Alfonso mentioned is the German 36 military uniform boots and M16 helmet he mentioned last time.
"Rifle named Vielli 1875 Rifle (formerly Mosin Nagant Rifle)
The machine gun is named as the Maxim 1875 machine gun (the original Maxim machine gun)
The artillery is named ESP1875 artillery, ESP is the English abbreviation of Spain (the original French m1897 artillery, also known as Miss 75mm)”
Vieri and Maxim were very excited when they heard that the rifle and the machine gun were named after them respectively. With such a naming method, they would definitely be recorded in the Spanish history books.
On the other hand, Arsenio, Howard and others looked at them enviously. After all, the honor of naming the king himself is not something ordinary people can enjoy.
What's more, these three epoch-making weapons can indeed make them leave their own page in Spain and even in the world.
Therefore, the history of world wars will be rewritten and a new chapter will be opened.
