Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 283 Firepower is Justice, Cannon is Truth

"I don't quite understand. They both run. What's the difference between an electric car and an internal combustion engine?"

The next day, on the Space Grassland Ranch, Xu Guangqi and others were busy assembling parts together.

Old Zhu, who came to see it specially today, looked at the truck that was almost completed in front of him, then glanced at the sapphire blue tram parked not far away, and asked the questions in his mind.

Zhu Zhanjun explained: "Let me give you an analogy. A diesel truck and a power truck are equivalent to two people."

"A diesel truck is a man who often does farm work, while an electric truck is a scholar who reads every day."

"The scholar may look handsome on the outside, but he is full of literary talent on the inside. He will definitely be great in other fields."

"But if you ask them to move something, both of them can lift something of the same weight, but who do you think can run farther, longer, and faster?"

"So that's how it is." Old Zhu suddenly realized and took a look at the electric car: "To put it bluntly, it looks good but is not practical."

Zhu Zhanjun twitched the corner of his mouth.

As the last part was assembled, Song Yingxing jumped into the driving seat and waved downwards.

After everyone made way, Song Yingxing moved his hands and feet, and the car's engine suddenly roared to life.

"it is good!"

Seeing that the internal combustion engine they were researching actually worked, everyone cheered.

Especially Xu Shou and others, as scientific researchers, they know very well how much change the engine will bring to the world in the future.

From airplanes and rockets to cars, motorcycles, tanks, factory equipment and so on, everything depends on engines.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Song Yingxing drove the crudely assembled truck clumsily and slowly moved across the grassland.

Kangxi, who was leading the herd of horses nearby and watching the fun out of boredom, looked at the horse that was not even as fast as his own trot with contempt in its eyes.

He snorted disdainfully, then continued to stroll with the herd of horses, wagging his tail.

Zhu Zhanjun was also very excited about the success of the internal combustion engine. He celebrated with everyone that night and then instructed Xu Shou and others to make preparations as quickly as possible and put it into practical use as soon as possible.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He now finally understood a saying that has been passed down through the generations.

Things that can be used by civilians have already been played with by the military in top powers 20 years ago.

Now in Ming Dynasty and the Second World, most people are still using horse-drawn carriages to get around, but his laboratory has already started working on electric cars and internal combustion engines.

This is not a 20-year gap. Without some inspiration and technological collision, it may not be possible to create it in a hundred years.

…………

Guangxi government office.

"Sir, according to our plan, the combat force will be divided into two parts."

"I will lead a total of eight armies to launch an attack from Guangxi."

"The other will be led by Zeng Guofan, with seven armies, and will attack from Yunnan."

"Together with the various auxiliary forces, a total of 21 troops will attack from the east and west."

"In addition, the Navy Department will lead the Marine Corps, a total of three armies, to launch surprise attacks from multiple directions in the sea."

Zhu Zhanjun sat in the first seat, listening quietly to the battle plan of Li Jing and others.

The more I listen to him, the more familiar it seems, a bit like the counterattack against the monkeys back then.

After the other party finished explaining the overall battle plan, Zhu Zhanjun nodded, folded his palms on the table out of habit, looked at the other party and asked, "According to your plan, how long will it take to solve the problem in the south?"

"I'm not just talking about this monkey, but also the others around it."

Li Jing did not hesitate and directly answered the battle time.

"Without Western involvement, the fighting could be resolved in half a year."

Zhu Zhanjun showed a satisfied smile, "I'll add more fuel to your fire and make it burn even more vigorously."

"What fire?"

Li Jing became interested and looked at Zhu Zhanjun expectantly.

Zhu Zhanjun did not answer, but stood up and walked out the door.

Everyone quickly followed.

When I got outside the door, I saw Zhu Zhanjun asking the guards to bring in a few boxes.

Li Jing took a quick look and saw that it was a weapon box commonly used by the military.

Suddenly he thought of the new weapons that the old men had mentioned, and stepped forward and asked, "Sir, could the fire you mentioned be a new weapon?"

Zhu Zhanjun waved his hand without answering.

The guards at the side stepped forward and opened the boxes.

"This is the third generation of Ming weapons, and it focuses on being able to exert a greater density of firepower."

As Zhu Zhanjun spoke, he picked up a rifle and explained to everyone: "The third-generation Type 5 rifle can hold rounds of ammunition and has an effective range of up to two miles."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanjun had someone bring a row of bullets, which he pushed into the magazine skillfully, pulled the bolt to load the gun, aimed and fired.

As five consecutive gunshots rang out, the officers present all breathed rapidly.

There is no soldier who doesn't like guns.

The single-shot breech-loading rifles currently equipped by the army have a much higher rate of fire than flintlock rifles, but there is still a gap in firepower. This new type of five-barrel rifle greatly increases the density of firepower and enhances the killing and blocking of the enemy.

After throwing the rifle to Li Jing and letting him experience it, Zhu Zhanjun picked up a new weapon.

"Type 560 submachine gun, theoretical rate of fire , effective killing range steps, uses a -round magazine."

After a brief introduction, Zhu Zhanjun raised his submachine gun and pulled the trigger at the target in the distance.

Along with the sound of gunfire, the standing wooden boards made popping sounds and wood chips flew everywhere.

He casually threw the gun to Zhu Zhanji, whose eyes were shining. Zhu Zhanji explained: "Although its killing range is not as far as a rifle, its firepower density is definitely a nightmare for the enemy in close combat."

"Most of the wars in the South were fought in jungles or valleys. This kind of battle with intensive firepower can provide great help."

Next, grenades, pistols, combat raincoats and rain boots, and a series of other equipment specially prepared for mountain warfare opened Li Jing and others' eyes, and at the same time they secretly admired them in their hearts.

While they were still worrying about the rainy season in the south, His Highness had already prepared everything.

After introducing the light firepower, Zhu Zhanjun raised his hand and waved, and several soldiers came over carrying two large objects.

Zhu Zhanjun picked up one of them and explained to everyone: "It is a squad-type machine gun for medium and short-range support firepower. Its ammunition can be shared with rifle bullets. It has 90 and 30 rounds of ammunition drums and magazines, and has extremely strong lethality."

Walking to the last powerful weapon, Zhu Zhanjun slapped the water-cooled heavy machine gun hard.

"A water-cooled heavy machine gun is a meat grinder on the battlefield. In the Japanese country, the crossfire of three machine guns harvested more than 10,000 Japanese heads."

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped, not daring to imagine how brutal the battle that night was and how fierce those three heavy machine guns were.

But after they watched the heavy machine gun firing, everyone fell silent, just like Gongsun Qi did that night when he saw the heavy machine gun unleash its power.

They were all generals who had come out of the cold weapon era, and each of them had experience in commanding large military groups. They were familiar with all kinds of wars and could easily deal with any enemy.

But after seeing this new type of rapid-fire weapon, they suddenly found that their so-called formations had become ridiculous.

Touching each weapon, Li Jing looked at Zhu Zhanjun expectantly.

"Sir, I'm afraid this new weapon cannot be provided to all troops for the time being."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded slightly. "Since we have just started full production, we cannot re-equip the entire army. Other places either have no war or are very relaxed. Only you will face a difficult and fierce battle next. So I brought these newly produced weapons to you."

"In addition to increasing the firepower of your troops, we also want to test the performance of this new weapon in brutal actual combat."

"How much can you give?"

Li Jing didn't care about that and asked directly how much it could bring him.

"5000 rifles, 300 submachine guns, 60 light machine guns, and 20 heavy machine guns."

"As for ammunition, each rifle will be given 200 rounds of ammunition, submachine guns will be given about 10 magazines, each light machine gun will be equipped with 3000 rounds of ammunition, and each heavy machine gun will be equipped with 5000 rounds of ammunition."

"This is what I can give you. As for how to distribute and arrange it, you can decide for yourself."

After hearing this much, Li Jing pondered for a moment and looked at Zeng Guofan.

Before he could speak, Zeng Guofan smiled and said, "Marshal Li intends to gather these weapons together and use them as a fist force."

Li Jing laughed, "Sure enough you understand what I mean."

Although the other party understood what he meant, Li Jing still wanted to explain.

"These weapons are indeed very powerful, but once they are distributed to various troops, the actual effect they bring is not great."

"Only by gathering them together can we unleash their power and become a sharp knife that pierces the enemy's defensive position."

Zhu Zhanjun did not express any opinion on Li Jing's arrangement.

Again, as the boss, you just need to set the main goals. How to accomplish them and how to solve them perfectly are issues that your subordinates should consider.

If everything is arranged perfectly, then what is the point of having subordinates?

After finalizing the battle plan of Li Jing and others, Zhu Zhanjun asked everyone to go back and prepare.

"How's it going? Are you doing okay?"

After the officers left, Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanji chatted while drinking tea.

Zhu Zhanjun did not make any arrangements for Zhu Zhanji and decided to let him figure out what to do on his own.

Just think of it as compensation for taking someone else's position.

Zhu Zhanji didn't like sitting in the palace with Zhu Pangpang to review memorials, as he himself was a person of eccentric personality.

After playing around in the New World, I heard that the commander-in-chief of the South was Li Jing, so I ran over directly, intending to observe the modern warfare that my brother mentioned.

"It's OK, but it's too hot here. No wonder my second uncle didn't want to come back then."

Ever since entering the space, Zhu Zhanji had no other thoughts about Zhu Zhanjun, and the relationship between the two brothers suddenly became closer.

"hehe!"

Zhu Zhanjun chuckled: "He doesn't want to come, but it's not because of this."

Zhu Zhanji also smiled, but then he restrained himself and looked at Zhu Zhanjun and said solemnly: "Second brother, I thank you on behalf of Daming. You were right when grandpa asked about it."

Zhu Zhanjun was stunned for a moment, picked up the teacup next to him and clinked it with the other person's cup.

Zhu Zhanji smiled again, picked up the tea bowl with the tea leaves, and drank it in one gulp.
