Chapter 330: Finalization of the Zhenming General-Purpose Machine Gun

November 14, 1001, Bingyang calendar

Krurod Empire, Sugui City Palace

Paula: "Now I have some bad news for you. You only have three female companions left to serve you in bed."

Zeren: "Uh."

Paula: "Also, the military doesn't want my general-purpose machine gun."

Although the first thing was a bit bad for him, Zelen was happy to hear the second thing.

Because the army finally chose a general-purpose machine gun named Zhenming, which weighs 8 kg, is 1041 mm long, has a barrel length of 584 mm, can be quickly switched, has a firing rate of 900 to 1200 rounds per minute, and a muzzle velocity of 755 per second. It can use a 30-round magazine or a 100-round scatterable chain supply.

Of course, the bullet fired by the Zhenming general-purpose machine gun is still famous for its powerful kinetic energy, which completely restrains the 9×40 mm rifle bullet of individual armor.

Although there has always been a voice in the Krurod Empire to change to 9×40mm rifle bullets; but once some things have been implemented in the past, it is not easy to change them now.

Moreover, compared with changing guns, changing bullets will definitely shake the entire military logistics system and seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, the grassroots troops of the Krurod Empire have long hoped that their general-purpose machine guns will not only use 9×40mm rifle bullets, but also must ensure that the magazines and bullet chains are fully equipped.

The reason...

is very simple.

In the grassroots troops of the Krurod Empire, the explosive assault rifles that use 30-round magazines for bullets have always accounted for the majority. Therefore, using rifle magazines for bullet supply in emergency situations is a hard indicator for soldiers in the army.

As for the drums, sorry, the Krurod Empire is not very receptive to drums. Especially under the premise that there are not many domestic arms dealers who can make reliable and easy-to-load drums, the soldiers of the Krurod Empire will probably have to wait for a while before they can use the universal drums similar to those often used by the Nigan Empire or the Holy Church (in fact, drums are inconvenient to carry and are prone to collision with other objects, and the grassroots soldiers generally have opinions).

Therefore, the design of the chain and the magazine fully meets the needs of the troops and can also suppress firepower to a considerable extent.

Zelen: "Paula, try harder next time."

Paula: "Humph!"

There is no way.

Paula's ambition is not small, especially when she gave birth to Laen and recovered well, she did not stop her plan to control the Krurod Empire.

It's just a pity that Paula, the boss of Ruger Company, has not been very lucky in other aspects except for bed. Domestic arms dealers are not fools, and some of them cooperate to fight against Ruger Company. Therefore, it is not difficult for Ruger Company to maintain its position now, but it is difficult to break through.

Zelen: "Don't be so angry, you're not a very impatient person."

Paula: "Well... is this comforting me? You might as well be more direct and do me a good job. That really makes me happy."

Admittedly, Paula has given birth to a child now, and she is no longer as shy as a girl. As long as she is on the mattress in the big room, she doesn't mind being watched by her "sisters" at all, nor does she mind sleeping with someone to compete with who is more likely to lose consciousness.

But Zelen now has some resistance and will not easily give in to Paula. At the same time, Paula is the type who will not put all her eggs in one basket. How can one Laen be enough? At least prepare two younger brothers for Laen.

But Zelen listened to Paula's words, and he was very curious about another thing. For some reason, the general-purpose machine gun of the Holy Church not only fires 8×36mm rifle bullets, but also still habitually adopts the design of rear-mounted bolt and buttstock combined into one.

Zelen had no interest in this general-purpose machine gun, especially since the 8×36mm rifle bullet of the Holy Church was not as powerful as the 9×40mm rifle bullet, and its lethality was not very strong.

Don't they think such a machine gun is difficult to operate?

But Zelen was not a member of the Holy Church, and he had no desire to do so. Zelen firmly believed that the Holy Church would not re-establish a "cover" country called the Iron Fist Empire, a church organization with independent armed forces, a mature system of arsenals, and even a rich collection of books.

In other words, this is the opponent that the Krurod Empire will definitely confront for a long time from the past to the future.

Zelen: "Well, it's not good for you and the children to have a temper. And what do you think of the armored forces of the Wanxi Liberation Force?"

Paula: "A warlord force with a certain style."

It's a certain style.

This evaluation is okay.

After all, the Wanxi Liberation Force is the armed force with the largest area under the control of the Gaomu Kingdom, rich resources, and a large number of military equipment. At the same time, the organization is keen on education.

You must know that the power of education is definitely not something that those cruel monarchs who wish the people were stupid and ignorant, and wish the people would obey them absolutely to the point that everyone would happily jump into the magma to swim.

Therefore, as an emperor, Zelun has long been concerned about education, especially public education.

If he is not mistaken, the various war vehicles equipped by Wanxi Liberation Force are most likely the products inspired by education.

The people of a country can never be composed of idiots. It is just because the ruling class wants to make it easier to rule that they deliberately suppress the people's wisdom. In other words, from now on, the Wanxi Liberation Force with armored forces is no longer a rebel organization that continues to maintain a defensive posture.

In this way, King Junwu will definitely change his attitude and take the initiative to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the pig-headed people.

But this...

How to say it?

King Junwu probably sold a lot of things to the Wanxi Liberation Force before, so that the Wanxi Liberation Force would not be unable to withstand the attack of the pig-headed people and quickly finish.

Now King Junwu wants to go back on his word, which is not easy.

Especially under the premise that the Wanxi Liberation Force is strong in soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Zelun himself was thinking, should he also give some gifts to the Wanxi Liberation Force?

If the Wanxi Liberation Force can't hold on, the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire will definitely come back and set foot on the territory of the Krurod Empire again.

This is not something he can accept.

Pig-headed people and the like, the place where they should stay is only the vast central and western parts of the Neoland continent.

Although on the Neoland continent, only the Takagi Kingdom has rice, the favorite of the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire, which can be provided for free.

As for other countries on the Neoland continent, they basically don’t even know what rice is, and rely on sweet potatoes, potatoes and wheat from overseas to fill their stomachs.

However, in the minds of the pig-headed people, those who eat wheat are inferior species, and those who eat sweet potatoes and potatoes are livestock.

Especially potatoes, it seems that less than ten countries in the world know how to eat them, and a large number of other countries basically regard them as poisonous plants and destroy them collectively.

There is no way.

This is a problem of concepts passed down from history.

It is said that there seemed to be countries that thought coriander was a stinky weed in the past, and directly legislated to force the people to eradicate it and burn it immediately.

Regarding this, Zelun himself really felt that this country was simply ruining it. Just because you think something is stinky does not mean that the citizens outside will think it is stinky like you.

Therefore, it is no wonder why there has never been a famine in the Orchid Republic, and there is enough food to make some monarchies in famine become republics overnight.

Yes.

Food is also a weapon, a weapon that is more terrible than the various guns and weapons that everyone is used to.

The reason why the Orchid Republic has the confidence to force nearby small countries to change overnight is not only because it has atomic weapons in its hands, but also because the country is located in the northern cold and sub-cold regions, but has a very rich food output.

Among them, the rye that can be exported can be sold to foreign countries every year during non-wartime.

This amount is enough to make many picky eaters and famine-stricken countries quickly succumb, and even take the initiative to kneel down to the Orchid Republic to pray for the Orchid Republic to be kind...
