Chapter 834 Dresser Rifle

The Dresser rifle is the world's first breech-loading rifle. It is powerful and has a maximum range of 1000 to [-] meters. Coupled with the rifling inside the barrel, this rifle is also very accurate.

The reloading speed of this rifle is also very fast. A well-trained soldier can fire ten to twelve rounds in one minute.

Although the performance of this rifle is not as good as five or six, it is more powerful and has a longer range than all matchlock guns of this era.It can be said that this rifle is the most powerful rifle except Zhao Wen's rifle.

The current output of this kind of rifle is not small. If the arsenal is fully activated, it can fully supply the needs of all reserve soldiers.

Therefore, it is more than enough to supply Charles I.

What Zhao Wen meant was to sell this rifle to Charles I, and then let Charles I confront the parliament.

Of course, in order to prevent Charles I from defeating the parliament at once, Zhao Wen will definitely sell this weapon to the parliament in the future.

Then let Parliament and Charles I bite the dog.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. I don't know what kind of weapons you are using. Can you let me have a look." Thomas looked at Zhao Wen.Ask and answer.

Thomas had never fought against Zhao Wen, and he didn't know what kind of weapons Zhao Wen's army used.

Although before, I saw the weapons carried by the reserve soldiers on the way to Xuancheng.

But from a distance, you can only see the general appearance, and you can't see the real situation.

So Thomas didn't know what the rifles used by Zhao Wen's army looked like, and what their real power was.

In Thomas' impression, the firearms in this world are basically matchlock guns.No matter how well-made the Vulcan gun is, its range and power are determined.

Zhao Wen looked at Thomas with a smile, and said, "I'll let you see for a while, let me tell you this, the weapon in my hand can sweep the parliament with you, and the parliament will not belong to you at all. Opponents, it is only a matter of time before Parliament is defeated."

Thomas nodded suspiciously, and then stood respectfully in the middle of the royal study.

In the following time, Zhao Wen and Thomas talked nonsense, and at the same time asked the specific situation of the shit-stirring stick in China, as well as the current situation in various Western countries.

About an hour later, Chen Donglai appeared in the imperial study. He came to Zhao Wen and said to Zhao Wen, "Your Majesty, the things you arranged before have been completed."

Zhao Wen nodded and looked at Thomas. Zhao Wen said to Thomas, "Okay, the matter is almost done. Follow me, and now I will show you the power of the weapon in my hand."

Zhao Wen stood up and walked outside.

After Zhao Wen walked out of the imperial study, Thomas followed Zhao Wen and walked outside.

When he came outside the palace, the door of the car that had been prepared opened, and Zhao Wen got into a car.

Under Zhao Wen's arrangement, Thomas sat in the car behind Zhao Wen.

The convoy headed towards the camp of the Guards in the city.

At this time, the Guards camp in the city had brought over the weapons used by the reserve.

In the camp of the Guards is a very large school field. On the school field, a platoon of soldiers stood quietly in the middle.

In their hands are Dreiser rifles used by reserve soldiers.

200 meters in front of them, there are large and small targets.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Zhao Wen finally came to the school field.

Under the guard of Chen Donglai and his personal guards, Zhao Wen came to this row of soldiers.

"His Majesty!"

A guard commander received a military salute to Zhao Wen, and then stood behind Zhao Wen.

"I've given you a task to show me and the person next to me the power of the weapons of the reserve soldiers." Zhao Wen turned sideways and said to the commander of the Guards.

"As ordered!"

The head of the regiment gave a military salute to Zhao Wen and came to the front of the row of soldiers.

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he led Thomas a dozen steps to the side.

At this time, Chen Donglai had already prepared Zhao Wen's seat.

Zhao Wen sat on the chair with a strong sword, while Chen Donglai and the guards stood around Zhao Wen.

The place where Zhao Wen was located was on the side of the row of soldiers, and he could clearly see the situation when the soldiers were shooting at the target.

The head of the regiment came to the front of the row of soldiers, set his sights on the row of soldiers in front of him, and shouted: "We gather you together to show His Majesty the power of the rifles in your hands.

There is a row of targets in front of you, and you will wait for His Majesty's order to shoot the targets later, and now everyone is in position! "

Under the command of the regiment commander, these soldiers started to move.

The soldiers spread out and stood directly in front of the targets.

They raised their rifles and aimed at the target ahead.

After their steps were completed, the group leader trotted to Zhao Wen.

"Your Majesty, the preparations are complete!"

"Now you can start shooting. When shooting, use a salvo."

The way of salvo can see the advantages of Dreiser rifle more clearly.

"Yes!"

The regiment leader trotted to the side of the soldier again.

"Listen to my order and start shooting!"

The head of the regiment shouted loudly at these soldiers.

As soon as the sound fell, the gunshots rang out.

After a burst of gunfire, the targets in front of these soldiers were hit.

These soldiers are the best soldiers in the army, almost every shot is fired, and none of them misses the target.

After the first round of firing, the soldiers began to load ammunition.

Because it uses paper shells, the loading speed is many times faster than the matchlock guns of this era.

Thomas stood by, holding a telescope in his hand, which was given to him by Zhao Wen, so that he could clearly see the target.

"The distance from the target to the soldiers is about [-] feet. This distance can only be achieved by the best matchlock guns, and the accuracy is not good enough."

Thomas looked at the targets in the telescope that were almost all hit, his face full of sighs.

"The accuracy and range of this gun are really excellent!" Thomas kept praising.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

However, before he finished praising, another series of gunshots rang out.

Thomas looked at the soldiers hastily, shock on his face.

"How can it be so fast? How can the loading speed be so fast?"

Thomas looked at the soldiers and screamed out.

The reloading speed of the matchlock guns in this era is very slow, even for skilled soldiers, it takes a long time to reload.

However, the soldiers in front of them were loaded in just a few short breaths.

"The secret should be the firearms in their hands. This kind of gun has some similarities with the matchlock gun in appearance, but this kind of gun looks leaner and stronger." Thomas kept speculating.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots rang out again.

"It's only been about seven or eight breaths since the last gunshot.

The reloading speed of this gun is really terrifying.

If we can bring back a batch of these guns, the parliament will not be our opponent at all.

Moreover, we can make imitations based on this gun, and then we can get rid of the East! "

Thomas kept thinking about the next thing in his mind.

Zhao Wen pinched the beard on his chin, and looked at Thomas standing in front of him with great interest.

"Thomas, what do you think of this weapon?" Zhao Wen asked.

Thomas turned around and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this weapon is too powerful!"

Zhao Wen asked: "Then do you think if I give you this weapon, can you defeat the parliament?"

Thomas didn't even think about it, and blurted out, "If this weapon is given to us, we will definitely be able to defeat the parliament. The parliament is not our opponent at all."

Thomas is full of confidence, as if he has seen the scene of parliamentary failure.

"If that's the case, then I'll sell you this weapon, what do you think?" Zhao Wen pointed to the soldiers in front and said to Thomas.

Thomas swallowed, longing for the weapon on his face.

"Yes, yes, it's just that I don't have any money in my hand now, and I don't have that much money to buy these weapons." Thomas looked embarrassed.

"What am I supposed to do? It's easy to talk about!" Zhao Wen patted his thigh and said, "Well, I'll give you a thousand of these rifles and let my people take them back with you. When the time comes, Just give my people the money to buy the gun!"

Zhao Wen said it calmly, and he was not afraid of Thomas not admitting it at all.

Zhao Wen wasn't worried at all about Thomas' refusal to admit it, and he wasn't afraid of the poop stick imitating the rifle.

At that time, the number of people going to England with Thomas will not be small, about 100 people.

These 100 people are soldiers of the Guards, carrying weapons such as 56 punches, light machine guns, and rocket launchers.

With this firepower, there is no need to worry about accidents at all.

Another one, in addition to these 100 people, Zhao Wen will also let Mao Chengzuo send a fleet consisting of a treasure ship and five sailing battleships to go to England with Thomas.

With one hundred Guards soldiers plus this fleet, Zhao Wen didn't have to worry about Thomas changing his mind at all.

Zhao Wen sent so many people, of course, not only for the simple purpose of delivering goods, but more importantly, he took the opportunity to intervene in domestic affairs and prevent the parliament from being killed by Charles I.

What if it caused Charles I's dissatisfaction?With these powers, even if Charles I had any dissatisfaction, he could only hold back.

As for this kind of rifle being imitated by the shit stick, Zhao Wen doesn't have to worry about it at all.

The arsenal had already thought of this problem when manufacturing this rifle, so when producing this rifle, some fixed key parts were directly welded to death, so that even if they wanted to, they couldn't dismantle it. open unless violently removed.

Moreover, with the steel level of the current shit stirrer, even if it is imitated, it will not meet the standards in all aspects, and it will explode in all likelihood.

　Sudden power outage, I can only write so much, hope forgive me!
