Chapter 122: The Appearance of Yaren's Combat Rifle
"Hmm? What kind of gun is this? I've never seen it before..."
"Oh, one of our police officers said that some human pirates in the western province are quite fierce, and they need a combat rifle that can fire 9×59mm rifle bullets."
"Uh..."
"But you know what, this gun is really powerful."
When the time came to the evening of the second day, Zelun listened to the communication of the palace guards outside, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.
Foreign arms dealers are really fast, and they sell their products so quickly.
However, it is understandable that Zelun himself knows that foreign-funded enterprises come to the Krurod Empire to invest, and its essence is only one-making money.
And making a lot of money.
So in order to make a lot of money, foreign-funded enterprises are often very diligent.
The kind that is a hundred times more diligent than the enterprises in their own country.
Zelun is helpless about this.
The nature of businessmen is to pursue profits.
They will not take the initiative to do things that are not profitable.
So let them do more activities, and sometimes put some pressure on them, so that domestic enterprises can know what it means to work hard. Moreover, with the power of foreign capital, Zelen is very sure that domestic counterparts will also have a knockout match, leaving behind one after another excellent enterprises suitable for the development of the Krurod Empire.
Therefore, Zelen is very clear that in recent times, the latest flagship product of the foreign arsenal, the battle rifle that is said to be called Yaren and can fire 9×59mm rifle bullets, has naturally hit the soft spots of countless police officers.
Especially its empty weight of 4.8 kg, total length of 990 mm, barrel length of 500 mm, effective range of 800 meters, muzzle velocity of 840 meters per second, rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, and 20-round magazine feeding data are enough to make Zelen speechless.
In addition, it can also be equipped with a grenade launcher and a bayonet design...
Sometimes, Zelen really wants to ask his country's arms dealers, is it because many men in his country have been conscripted to the front line, and as a result, there are only a bunch of idiots who can't make weapons and equipment left?
Even his own Linmington Weapons Company only thought of making semi-automatic rifles, but did not think about or even design battle rifles.
Although the reason here is largely related to the past laws of the Krurod Empire prohibiting civilians from possessing fully automatic weapons, it is really unreasonable that there are no similar products now.
In short, when he returned to the big room of the palace, he couldn't help but chat with Paula and Camelia.
Camelia: "Actually, if I really want to say... well, many of our employees are women, and it is basically difficult for them to use large rifles that can fire full-power rifle bullets in full-automatic mode."
Zelen: "Because you can't do it, you think everyone can't do it?"
Camelia: "Almost."
Paula: "Not all of us women can be as good as you, and directly chop off Yuriko's head with a knife. Women's physical fitness has always been a certain distance from men. Of course, now due to the development of technology, this gap has narrowed a lot compared to a thousand years ago. But there are some fundamental differences that we can hardly directly eliminate directly."
Indeed, Zelen looked at Paula wearing only a pink sleeveless dress, and he knew that Paula, who now has a beautiful figure, was not lying.
No matter how Paula looked at it, it was unlikely that she could fight a bloody battle with a pig-headed man or a black-haired dog-headed man with a machete or even an axe like herself.
And in history, the Crurod Empire regarded women's participation in front-line battlefield operations as its own shame. So in today's Crurod Empire, women can work in many places that were originally only available to men, which is definitely a much more advanced thing than before.
Even in reality, Zelen himself knew that his country could not be compared with the Nigan Empire, which implemented the eldest daughter inheritance system and took the mother's surname.
This country was originally a country with more men than women, a real male purgatory. So much so that Zelen himself felt that the men of the Nigan Empire were very pitiful, so pitiful that he doubted whether the royal family of the Nigan Empire deliberately harmed the men of his country.
But anyway, he didn't really want the women of the Nigan Empire to have some influence on the women of the Crurod Empire.
Zelen: "But I know there are many female soldiers in the Air Force."
Paula: "That's because of the special nature of the Air Force. They don't need to be like the Army and the Navy, where a large group of people squeeze together to fight. Especially the Navy, they are the place that least welcomes us women."
Hearing this, Zelen could only spread his hands to express his helplessness.
Paula was right.
The environment of the Navy is actually worse than that of the Army, and it also requires soldiers to master more skills, while ensuring that the soldiers have strong physical fitness.
So compared to the Army's current open logistics, allowing more and more female soldiers to take charge of related work, the Navy said that nothing would change, and still maintained the policy of giving priority to male soldiers, or even only male soldiers.
As for whether this matter is good or not, Zelen has no opinions worth referring to.
What's more, the current Navy has not disappointed the people of the Krurod Empire, right?
They can still fight to the death with the fleet of the Akitsu Empire.
The only thing is that Zelen seems to have heard a rumor from the Congress that two warships of the Akitsu Empire have returned.
I hope the soldiers can hold on.
After all, the sky is the most important place compared to the sea.
As long as the air supremacy is in hand, the fleets at sea will wait to feed the fish in the seabed.
Zelen: "Hiss..."
Camelia: "Zelen, don't make excuses for those soldiers. How can we not know what they are like? But compared to the black-haired dog-headed people and the pig-headed people who are equally ignorant, they are already very good. As for the comfort from the pig-headed people, I sincerely hope that someone can kill all the pig-headed people. It would be best if everyone could be shot in the crotch and crippled. By the way, using that 12mm large-caliber rifle will definitely be effective!"
Zelen: "You might as well use the Yaren rifle, which is already very suitable for your requirements."
Camelia: "Isn't the caliber a bit small..."
That being said, the 9×59mm rifle bullet is one of the full-power rifle bullet models of the Krurod Empire. After one shot, at least the current shooters have no opinion on the bullet.
Moreover, in the current war, although the 9×59mm rifle bullet is no longer the mainstream ammunition used by the army, the police force and some militias have always used such ammunition models.
Coupled with the human pirates in the western province and the pressure from the bandit group of the forest spirits, the semi-automatic cavalry rifles and semi-automatic rifles launched by Ruger or other arms dealers during the New Year cannot complete the relevant tasks well.
Anyway, Zelen himself has nothing to say. The arms dealers in his own country are not doing their best, allowing foreign capital to take advantage of the situation.
If you want to blame, then blame yourself.
Paula: "In fact, if you want me to say, compared to the battle rifle that can fire fully automatically, simpler weapons are not good? Like the bolt-action rifle used by the Takagi Kingdom..."
Zelen: "Foreign trade is allowed, but it is completely prohibited domestically."
Zelen does not have much to do about bolt-action firearms.
The laws of the Krurod Empire have relevant provisions, prohibiting the circulation of bolt-action firearms in the Krurod Empire.
The reason is that the former emperor was angry and had a bad temper, and the lobbyist of Venom did something that offended the royal family...
Ahem.
How to say it? The lobbyist was related to one of the emperor's concubines at that time.
From then on, bolt-action firearms naturally became a taboo in the Krurod Empire. No stubborn arms dealer in the country dared to sell such weapons in the Krurod Empire, and they did not want to annoy the royal family of the Krurod Empire.
In short, the Japanese people of the Krurod Empire regarded lever firearms as their own tradition, which has been passed down to the present.
As for whether it is good or not... Zelun himself is a member of the royal family, and he really doesn't know how to express his opinion. After all, bolt-action firearms involve the scandal of the royal family, and he himself doesn't know whether he should say it. And for now, he doesn't think lever firearms are worse than bolt-action firearms.
Prone shooting... It's not like the Krurod Empire doesn't have automatic firearms with better accuracy.
