The same goes for being a person, and the same goes for doing things. You must be down-to-earth and not too ambitious. But some things must be developed ahead of time.
The arrival of immigrants and militarized management accelerated the construction of Nanhua, and Nanhua began to develop by leaps and bounds. Sufficient human resources not only allowed Zhu Xianhai to carefully plan the future development of Nanhua, but also began to solve the problems that had been plaguing Nanhua.
The most important issue - safety!
In fact, no one has such a deep understanding of "security issues" like Zhu Xianhai. After all, he has experienced it personally.
In the life simulation in Buenos Aires, the experience of being raped twice in succession, the lessons learned are so painful and profound that ordinary people cannot compare with them.
In the simulator, in order to ensure his own safety, he hired bodyguards, but it turns out that bodyguards are important, but reliable bodyguards are more important.
Those white bodyguards who are just to top up their salary... there is basically no difference between those who have them and those who don't.
That is to say, with the arrival of Li Fugui, Sun Hu and the other "Eighteen Arhats", Zhu Xianhai finally found someone reliable.
Chinese.
Always pay attention to repaying kindness.
Unlike those white people who work hard for money.
Now that there are people, the armed forces must be mobilized. What are the lessons from the first generation of Nanhua who was promoted?
First, the number of weapons is insufficient.
Second, there are insufficient soldiers.
Therefore, Zhu Xianhai has always been very eager to expand his military strength. Although it is unrealistic to turn all first-generation immigrants into a retired army, in addition to the 500-person Self-Defense Force, others also need to accept certain
military training.
Even before the new immigrants arrived, Zhu Xianhai had already made a fuss about them.
Almost on the day the new immigrants arrived, Zhu Xianhai ordered to select 1,500 new immigrants, recruit 500 people from the first-generation immigrants, expand the Self-Defense Force to 2,500 people, and at the same time change the Self-Defense Force into a security force.
With this armed force of 2,500 people, Zhu Xianhai can finally sleep peacefully. After all, Argentina's army currently only has about 20,000 people.
The security force is the most important military force in South China.
Security issues are as big as a mountain!
The security team of 2,500 people can at least ensure that Nanhua has the power to fight!
The number of people has increased, but the quality of weapons has not improved.
Limited by the number of Henry rifles and Spencer rifles, the main equipment of the security team is the P1853 rifle made in India - which was purchased by the "Annis" during its docking in Singapore. When returning, Li Fugui specially asked them to bring it with them.
After all, Nanhua also needs weapons.
Although the firepower of muzzle-loading rifles is limited, Nanhua has its own glorious tradition.
If you don't have enough firepower, use grenades.
The Nanhua Grenadier!
Although grenadiers are a tradition in South China, Zhu Xianhai, as the commander-in-chief, still put weapons as a top priority.
"Raygun - it is the real future!"
Taking out a repeating gun - a Spencer rifle, Zhu Xianhai said.
"In the future, all Nanhua security forces will be equipped with this!"
"It uses metal fixed ammunition, and the barrel of the gun stock can hold seven rounds of bullets. It is easier for soldiers to operate and train, and the rate of fire is extremely fast. A skilled shooter can shoot fifteen or six times in a minute...
"
In the last battle against the Gaucho cavalry, the powerful firepower of the Spencer rifle had been fully demonstrated. Of course, Bryan was very aware of this, and he was also aware of its shortcomings.
"Its range is very close, Marshal!"
Brian said directly.
"Perhaps this rifle has a fast rate of fire and powerful firepower, but the 0.56-inch bullet it uses has a range of only three hundred yards. On the battlefield, the Enfield rifle will suppress it from a long distance. Therefore, I think we should still
Mainly Enfield rifles, and Spencer rifles for cavalry and chariot soldiers."
In fact, the lack of power of the Spencer rifle was already revealed when fighting the Gaucho cavalry. It had a short range and was not lethal enough against horses. But even so, its power and range were far beyond
.44 caliber Henry rifle.
Precisely because of its powerful firepower, by the end of the Civil War, the Spencer rifle had become a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of soldiers on both sides.
However, this does not mean that its performance is perfect. In fact, the power of the Henry rifle is small, and the power of the Spencer rifle is not that great. In the end, this was also the reason why it was eventually eliminated - on the theory
The rate of fire is far inferior to that of Henry or Winchester rifles. In terms of power, it cannot compare with Sharps and others. Those rifles can hunt deer and buffalo. As for the Spencer, at best it can only hunt deer.
It's really not good at hunting people, hunting deer, or hunting horses.
And this is why Brian suggested letting the cavalry use it - at least it is more powerful than the revolver and has higher accuracy.
Zhu Xianhai, who knew all this well, said casually.
"That's the problem with the bullets."
While speaking, Zhu Xianhai pressed the lever to eject a bullet and picked up the .56-caliber copper-cased rimfire bullet. Zhu Xianhai said.
"This is the .56-caliber rimfire bullet it uses. This bullet cannot withstand higher chamber pressures. Therefore, I designed a new type of bullet. Compared with rimfire, it uses center fire and can withstand higher chamber pressures."
Higher chamber pressure allows more gunpowder to be loaded, and it is also a bottleneck bullet with a caliber reduced to about .45 inches. By reducing the caliber to increase the muzzle velocity, after replacing it with a new bullet, its range will be longer.
The accuracy is higher, and of course the power is greater."
After the battle with the Gauchos, Zhu Xianhai focused on the problem of weapons. In order to increase the range of the Spencer rifle, he directly took out the "Berdan primer" that had been invented more than ten years ago.
That is to say, the Spencer rifle has the potential for improvement. In contrast, the Henry rifle has very little improvement potential. Its brass receiver has low strength and cannot withstand high chamber pressure. Although it can hold thirteen rounds of bullets, it has a high rate of fire.
It is faster, but its structural sturdiness is far less than that of the Spencer rifle. Moreover, the parts of the Spencer gun are easier to manufacture. It seems to have a complicated structure, but in fact there are not many parts.
"Commander, we can't make bullets yet!"
Brian said directly.
"Metal cartridge cases are expensive and require more equipment. If we can't produce this bullet ourselves and run out of bullets, it will be just a pile of scrap metal!"
Well, Brian wins.
But it's only temporary.
Zhu Xianhai shrugged his shoulders and said.
"This is only temporary. Buffett will come back soon and he will bring equipment to produce bullets. Soon, after our own factory is put into production, we will no longer need to consider the issue of ammunition."
