Chapter 947 Han Style Rifle

Greenland covers the city.

The Dutch soldiers looked enviously at the battleships of the Great Yu Kingdom docked in the harbor. The people stationed in the city of Geranja for seven years have come and gone, but what remains the same is the amazing scenery of the Great Yu Kingdom. development speed.

"General Yue Yun, welcome you to the city of Gerlandia." Eric showed a sincere smile. He is the new governor of Gerlandia, responsible for the affairs of the Netherlands in Asia.

"Nice to meet you, Eric." Yue Yun said with a smile, he was used to dealing with Eric, and he often visited Ryukyu over the years.

This time, he came to Relanza City not only to supply coal and water here, but also for the Spaniards.

In fact, the Netherlands and Spain have colonies on the islands in Luzon and East Indonesia at the same time. The relationship between the two is actually a competitive relationship. Spain has always been vigilant against the Dutch, and the two sides often have frictions due to issues of interest.

Therefore, after obtaining the authorization of the emperor, he immediately found the Dutch. First, they were not familiar with the real geography of the Philippine islands such as Luzon and Bohol, and needed the help of the Dutch.

Second, the expedition supply is also a problem. If the Dutch can provide supplies, their pressure will be much less.

The third is the alliance treaty signed by them and the Dutch, which stipulates that the two need to advance and retreat together in Asian affairs. If the Dutch are attacked in Asia, Da Yu is obliged to help the Dutch to fight back against the enemy. Similarly, the Netherlands People are also obliged to help the Great Yu State to attack the enemy.

After the chat, Yue Yun and Eric went to the official office in Relanzha City, and he told Eric the whole story of this action.

"Are you going to attack the Spaniards and take Malacca?" Eric said in surprise, after pondering for a while, he said, "It's easy to beat the Spaniards, but Malacca is now controlled by the British, and the French Indochina is in Malacca. On the east side, once you take Malacca, they won't sit back and watch."

Yue Yun said with a loud laugh: "Eric, you don't have to worry about this, we are determined to win the Malacca Strait this time. Britain and France stabbed me in the back several times during the civil strife in Da Yu, and the emperor has long been dissatisfied. Unification, it's time to clean up them."

After a pause, he continued: "And according to our intelligence, the combined battleships of the United Kingdom and France in the Asian waters are less than 50. Together, we will surely be able to defeat them."

Eric's eyes flickered with excitement when he heard this. The Netherlands used to be the real maritime hegemon in Europe. It was the British who destroyed them, made their status plummet, and took away many of their colonies.

They have always kept this account in their hearts, but the Netherlands has declined so far and can no longer compete with the British, but now it is different with the Great Yu Kingdom. They can completely suppress Britain and France in Asia and gain more tangible benefits.

Moreover, the purpose of the alliance they signed with the Great Yu Kingdom was to jointly deal with the British, and now Yue Yun's demands are not excessive.

"I'm not worried, I'm just amazed at the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, but I have to say that your actions this time are in our interests. Now we have a total of twenty warships in Asia, which can help you." K said.

A stone fell in Yue Yun's heart. As long as they had the support of the Dutch, it would be much easier for them to attack the Spaniards.

"In this case, let's make a plan for the battle. According to my idea, first we will launch a surprise attack on the Spanish navy near Luzon, annihilating their navy in one fell swoop, and then use Manila as a base to compete with Britain and France for Malacca. Strait..."

Yue Yun unfolded the chart he carried with him and marked the steps of the attack.

Eric nodded frequently and cast an admiring look at Yue Yun. He had to admit that this Yue Yun was a naval admiral with strategic vision.

An agreement was reached, and the two agreed to set off in five days. This time they would cooperate against the enemy for the first time.

...

Qingzhou, imperial study.

Song Changping happily handed a steel-cased bullet to Xiao Ming, which was the first metal bullet they made after the metal bullet project was put on the agenda.

"Your Majesty, this is the bullet we produced." Song Changping said loudly.

Xiao Ming showed a look of joy. Since the task of producing metal bullets was set, the entire industrial system of Qingzhou has been operating.

The thermal power plant immediately powered the military workshop, and all kinds of equipment factories, under the organization of Lin Wentao, were working around the clock to produce related machinery and equipment for the production of motors and bullets.

In more than two months, they set up a manual and automatic bullet production line and produced the first steel shell bullet.

"It's not easy, this will be a sign of the evolution of military weapons." Xiao Ming picked up the bullet, which was basically the same shape as the modern bullet.

Looking at this modernized bullet, Xiao Ming felt a little emotional.

Now that the level of science and technology in the Great Yu Kingdom has steadily reached the 19th century, and with the detailed technical information provided by him, it is still possible to establish a simple military-industrial system in a solid industrial base.

For example, the current production line of metal bullets in Dayu country is actually semi-manual and semi-automatic. The shells and warheads of the bullets are produced by workers operating machinery. As for primers, gunpowder and warheads, the assembly of the shells is done manually.

In this way, the difficulty of bullet production is greatly reduced. After all, the production line of automatic production and assembly requires numerical control, and he cannot do it.

"Your Majesty, the production speed of this metal bullet is a little slower, but after all, we also have metal bullets. The officer thought that the production of falcon rifles would no longer be necessary. Now the military workshop only produces percussion rifles. Name this rifle." Song Changping said.

Xiao Ming nodded. He had never given a definite name to this kind of firing rifle. In excitement, he said: "This kind of rifle is called a Han-style rifle. I hope this kind of firing gun combined with metal bullets can let us Drive out the incoming enemy like a big man!"

"Han-style rifle?" Song Changping's eyes lit up, and he said heavily: "Good name, this percussion gun will definitely be remembered by Qing Shi."

"Hahaha……"

After all, the two laughed at the same time.

Xiao Ming continued to play with metal bullets. As long as there are such bullets, the shortcoming of air leakage in the breech rifle will disappear. At the same time, the advantages of rifled and hammer-shaped bullets will also be reflected. This kind of rifle is both in terms of range and accuracy. It will be higher than the leaky falcon rifle.

In addition, the appearance of metal bullets is more of a new understanding of weapons, which is also an inspiration for artillery.

He was thinking when suddenly Qian Dafu walked in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Qi asks to see you."

Startled for a moment, Xiao Ming looked at Song Changping, "You two are really interesting, why don't you come together?"

Song Changping coughed awkwardly, and he said, "Your Majesty, I can't blame him for being an official. During this time, Chen Qi blocked the artillery factory, and no one knows what he is tinkering with!"

PS: The child has repeated blood in the stool and is in a bad mood. He may go to Shanghai. I will have a chapter tonight. I really can’t write it.
