Durin's Diary

Chapter 876 Listen attentively
Chen Xiaohu arrived at the shooting range and found Wang Bajing standing nearby while his subordinates were shooting from a kneeling position.

"Old White, how about this gun?"

"The veterans can point and shoot at 400 meters. They have a sight, a peep sight, and even 2x and 4x sights. I don't believe Mr. Du Lin learned this on his own. This 4x sight is even more sophisticated than ours." Wang Bajing pointed at the sights nearby. "As for the bayonet, I think it's a bit redundant. But this gun should be used in the Western Continent, which is different from our situation here. So they must have their reasons for using the bayonet. If it were us, we would have eliminated the integrated bayonet."

"Well, I have to go up and try it." Chen Xiaohu said, and waited until the young man had fired ten bullets, then took the gun and started loading it.

This gun is similar to Chang Tang's old-fashioned rifle, both of which use clips to feed ammunition. Chen Xiaohu has such an old-fashioned rifle at home, and he has played with it before, so there is no problem with feeding ammunition.

"This thing should be able to be converted into a twenty-round magazine." Wang Bajing said, pointing to the magazine under the gun body.

"Of course you can. This should be the basic model that was produced at the beginning. I heard from merchants traveling to the Western Continent that there are also magazine-fed rifles in the Western Continent, but they seem to be semi-automatic weapons. A few years ago, when a country called Farol was fighting a civil war, they used semi-automatic guns. It is said that it was because of the poor industry that they could not produce large quantities of ammunition." As an internal security guard, Chen Xiaohu must know some inside information that others don't know.

"Now that you mention it, this gun is quite suitable for the situation in the Western Continent. It can be considered a good gun." Wang Bajing crossed his arms and said, "By the way, my uncle is also a fleet leader. He said that the people in the Western Continent have also developed machine guns. Do you have this information?"

"Yes, but their machine guns don't fire very fast, much worse than our Kang Yuan-style. However, considering their industrial capacity, a slower rate of fire isn't a bad thing. At least the machine guns have suppressive power when they fire. Our new machine gun crews have plenty of bullets, but the ones in Western Continent are really no match. Mr. Yan has fought against the green-skinned orcs on their eastern front. He mentioned that the machine gun crews in Du Lin's army are all veterans, firing short bursts, and the machine guns even have scopes. The machine gun crews of other armies are not well trained, and they just pull the trigger from time to time." Chen Xiaohu shook his head at this point: "The people of Western Continent are still too relaxed. With geniuses like Mr. Du Lin, their lives are really much more comfortable than ours."

After listening to what Chen Xiaohu said, Wang Bajing nodded and said, "Young Master, it's a waste of talent for you to be in the Western Continent. But then again, considering the situation in the Western Continent, it's really unimaginable that we can be beaten so badly by just the pagans in the northeast, the alien species in the east and central, and the green-skinned orcs in the southeast. I hope we can eliminate one of the four major threats this time."

Yes, Mr. Sun is that person after all.

Not everyone knows Sun Guanzhi's identity, but Chen Xiaohu still believes in him - after all, he is the rational incarnation of Nuwa.

"By the way, why are you here today?" the turtle asked curiously.

"It's because your Rabbit Head Secret has a great opportunity." Chen Xiaohu replied.

"What do you mean by my rabbit-head secret? He is a boy, don't ruin our reputation." The turtle spirit was a little unhappy.

"Oh, your reputations." Chen Xiaohu chuckled. "Okay, now that we've seen everything we wanted to see and tried out the gun."

"Your Majesty, do you want to know about this gun?" asked the turtle spirit.

"That's also the military's intention. I just don't know how the military will cooperate with Mr. Du Lin." Chen Xiaohu took out a cigarette box and gave a cigarette to each of his old friend and his subordinates.

"I think we can work together. The guns made by Mr. Du Lin are clearly based on the actual conditions of the Western Continent. Besides, I also want to see what he thinks of the situation in Chang Tang." Wang Bajing said this and looked at his old friend: "How about I go and get some feedback."

"You'd better leave. Let the military send people themselves. I'll go back and write a report. As for when the military will react, only God knows." After saying that, Chen Xiaohu left.

The bastard crossed his arms across his chest, and after much thought, he gave up the idea of ​​asking for information - in this situation, it would be better to let the military handle it themselves. After all, there would be no reward if it was done well, and you would be blamed if it went wrong, so it wasn't worth it.

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful - Liang Xiaochao, Liang Xiaochao, what a good opportunity, why are you so scared? All the men and women living in Changtang have survived by going through killing arrays, how can you be so timid.

You don't even dare to kill a deer, so if you encounter a monster or a puppet, you will wet your pants.

For the first time, the bastard from the police department truly understood what it meant to be disappointed in someone.

………………

After returning to the harem, Chen Xiaohu told the emperor everything he had seen along the way. When the emperor heard about Liang Xiaochao's situation, he didn't take it seriously: "There will always be timid children. This little guy has never been to the battlefield, doesn't understand, and hasn't received military training."

"Yes, but I have tried Mr. Du Lin's gun. Director Bai said it's very good. I think so too after shooting at the target. Mr. Du Lin's guns also have various sights." Having said this, Chen Xiaohu looked at the military leaders sitting beside him and said, "I think it would be a good thing if we can cooperate."

"Then where should we start the cooperation? Guns, cannons, or the combat machines from the Eastern Elf Territory, or chariots." The old emperor looked at everyone in the military.

"I don't think tanks are necessary. I've seen the drawings of the Eastern Territory's tanks, and the overall effect of the vehicle is not very good. It has no armor, but the gun is good. I've seen the design drawings, and this kid is very imaginative and creative." Someone said.

"I think we can give the gun a try. Xiaohu just mentioned the gun that can shoot wherever you point it at a range of 400 meters. I think that's pretty good. Maybe we can try to make a semi-automatic weapon with a longer range to serve as a precision marksman rifle in the infantry squad." Someone imagined this.

"I think combat mechas can also try to cooperate. I am quite optimistic about the mobile firing platform of the 240mm mortar mentioned earlier. This thing can effectively support infantry, and its caliber is large, so it can effectively kill puppet skeletons." Someone holds this view.

Then everyone looked at Prime Minister Luo, who had not spoken yet.

The latter spoke up, "I think we can also try to cooperate on chariots. After all, chariots are still a new thing in the Western Continent. Why not give this kid a chance? I'm quite optimistic about him."

"Then let's begin in-depth cooperation and see if we can add more and better armaments to our army before we take action. Even if it's just to produce some prototypes to test their effectiveness in battle, that would be fine."

So the old emperor made a decision.
