Chapter 502 God's Eye
General Lin Manjue once again reached the peak of his life.

The last time it was Guam, this time it was Guangzhou.

There were 41 students in the second and third phases of the Guangzhou Navy Lecture Hall, including 540 students in the first phase, and he was the only one who was both a student and a lecturer.

There are two new tactics training subjects in the Navy Lecture Hall, which belong to him and only belong to him. One is dense forest guerrilla, and the other is straggler raid.

Chen Mu specifically asked Lu Tong for a place for a four-person research team, and it was officially opened two years later. These four people were selected from Pingyuan Xiangyong, who had participated in the Battle of Guam under Lin Manjue's subordinates. The current time is mainly reserved for 40 of them will graduate from each subject in the lecture hall first.

Of course, Lin Manjue only got the news from Guangzhou Mansion, and no one actually allowed him to go to class now.

He had to go to Burma with Chen Mu first.

When the letter sent by the imperial court arrived in Guangzhou, the Chihai ship also set off again, and the emperor approved most of the suggestions in Chen Mu's handbook, including the three points of Annan and the garrison of Shenglong.

However, the task of garrisoning the Thang Long was handed over to the General Military Officer of Guangxi and the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan.

The follow-up Annan incident has nothing to do with the Nanyang Army.

Received a letter of commendation from the emperor, and a private letter from Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, asking him to come up with a strategy for how the empire will succeed in Annan.

"How about this gun?"

Sailing on the sea, General Chihai sailed to the Beibu Gulf again, Chen Mu changed into a new general's armor and a lion-embroidered shirt with bare shoulders in Guangzhou, holding his helmet and spear in his pocket and smiled at Lin Manjue: "The new armor is pretty good, but it's a little hot. "

The interior of the new helmet and the armor are gasketed. The inside of the helmet is hollow at the top, and there are eight-petal pads around it that fit the hair scarf, which conforms to the ergonomics of Ming people's hair bun. With more surrounding support, it is more comfortable to wear.

In addition to the front and back pads inside the breastplate, the leather pads used on the shoulders are larger and softer, reducing the fatigue of the breastplate's weight on the body, and on the other hand, reducing the damage caused by impacts in battle.

The external style has not changed much, the general breastplate is still decorated with patterns, and the shoulders are slightly widened to look more beautiful and mighty. The general armor does not need to consider the cost, but the same improvement of the soldier armor makes the armor more practical and comfortable on the one hand. Naturally, the cost will increase slightly by [-]%.

From Chen Mu's point of view, this is completely acceptable - in his era, Chen Mu is very sure that because of his existence, armor will be able to withdraw from the mainstream of the battlefield 30 years earlier in the world.

In other words, it is now closer to the final glory of the armor.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Lin Manjue is holding a new blunderbuss in his hand, which is longer than the improved ordinary Gato bird blunderbuss. It is not equipped with thorns, and the barrel is thicker. It is equipped with a drilling machine to carve out four threaded rifling, and the external accessories are ordered from Liulichang. The colorless glazed binoculars are lit with flintlock and lead bullets without rags.

"It's too heavy." Lin Manjue smiled wryly, weighed the gun in his hand and said: "Commander, this gun is equipped with a god's eyepiece, and the barrel and bed are longer and thicker. It weighs [-] catties up and down, which is heavier than the Xiyi heavy gun. .”

This weight is indeed too heavy. In the past, the bird gun was only about nine catties, and the improved flintlock bird gun was only nine catties and four taels. Now, the gun with the blunderbuss holder and the thorn is only eleven catties and seven taels. too intuitive.

A wolf whisk weighs seven catties.

Chen Mu pointed to the big gun in Lin Manjue's hand and said, "But it can kill people at a distance of two hundred paces."

Lin Manjue smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and said: "I know this is a good gun. It is expensive, reliable and durable. It has been adjusted many times before leaving the Military Weapons Bureau. I know it from the paint on the eyepiece, but it is too Slowness is too heavy, if all the flag troops use this, they can't even carry knives, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous."

General Lin, who runs across Guam, has his own understanding of war, especially guerrilla warfare. With an embarrassed expression on his face, he paused before saying to Chen Mu: "The commander attaches great importance to humble positions, and I feel deeply about them, but this... the commander also knows, In Annan, we didn't achieve decent results, and we deserve it."

"Confronting the enemy on the battlefield, if the enemy does not attack everywhere, it is not an opponent at all."

Now Chen Mu almost tailor-made for him a long-range gun equipped with a god's eyepiece, and also set up dense forest guerrilla and skirmish raids in the naval lecture hall, which put him under a lot of pressure.

"Annan, I put you in front of Mo Jingdian's army. It was a mistake in my deployment, not your fault."

This was about the first time Chen Mu admitted that he had a problem with his command.

He patted the ship's side, looked at the seabirds flying with the warship and the blue sea and blue sky, turned to Lin Manjue and said, "Later, your banner army fought very well on Nanshan. There are many ways to fight in this world, and there may be a few in the world." The military can adapt to all terrains and all kinds of missions, but most militaries are not like that."

"Perhaps your subordinates are useless to Yu Shuai or Liu Shuai's subordinates. That's because they can mobilize tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops every time they fight, and they can destroy the world with one effort. But I don't have that many reserve troops. They What can be achieved with [-] troops, I can do with [-] troops."

"It's not because I'm stronger than them, it's because my soldiers are stronger, and my soldiers are stronger because I have money."

When Chen Mu said that he was not proud at all, he was just stating the facts. He thought he was not as good as Yu Dayou in using soldiers like a god, nor was he as gallant as Liu Xian, but his financial resources were unmatched. stronger than others.

"Other generals can use [-] elite soldiers as the main force, and [-] regular troops to contain them; now I can only use [-] elite soldiers as the main force, and [-] vassal troops to contain them. What if the vassal army is not enough?"

Chen Mu looked at Lin Manjue, and said seriously: "You want to use 1000 people to fight against 1 people, how do you fight? Go deep into the enemy's territory, go in and out of the enemy's imagination, kill and injure the enemy and disturb the enemy's heart. I can only help you with armaments to places where the Nanyang Military Mansion can’t transport all its supplies.”

"I will give you better weapons, better armor, and better officers, so that you can defeat the enemy's back and even inside the enemy's army time and time again in battle, and you will eat the enemy."

"This gun."

Chen Mu pointed to the long blunderbuss in Lin Manjue's hand, which was equipped with the god's eyepiece, and said: "The researchers in the martial arts hall call it the god's eye killing general blunderbuss. To be honest, if there is one blunderbuss in this world that even I can’t match up with an army, this is it.”

"In Sanxuan Liuwei, the logistics ship will deliver fifty to one hundred rods to you one after another. The rate of defective products in the build is too high. You assign it to the most experienced shooters in the subordinate small flags. One small flag or two A small flag is shot, and it does not participate in bursts during the battle. Others fire three guns, and it fires one gun."

"Heavy bullets are not afraid of the wind, and the distance is not far. Only one blunderbuss can kill the enemy's leader and general, which is far better than shooting twenty bludgeons in bursts to gain an advantage on the battlefield."

Chen Mu always believed that the age of armor was the paradise of snipers. He passed the gun in Lin Manjue's hand, raised his hand to caress the texture of the walnut wood baked and dipped in oil, and handed it back to Lin Manjue, smiling: " My child is about to be born, after this battle is over, I will go to Junfuwei Island to drink, now..."

He clenched his hands into fists and slammed them heavily on the ship's side: "Let's go to Myanmar!"

　Good morning!
