Chapter 1247 Chapter 1248: Internal and external trade
The rebels took action again, this time their target was Dortmund.
They have received news that the industrial cities in the central countries have suffered heavy bombings. They still vividly remember the bombing of Chester that night, which made many people in the rebel army tremble with fear.
That kind of terrifying large-scale bombing was no worse than the forbidden curse. The most terrifying thing was that he was completely unaware of it and only heard the mysterious whistling sound before the bombing started.
As factories in various countries were bombed, the rebels knew that their opportunity had come.
Taking advantage of the church's unstable footing to launch an attack, Chester's army should be seriously short of ammunition supplies at this time. If we don't attack now, it will be much later.
At the same time, the rebels in the August Empire actually started doing business with the United Magic Empire, and large quantities of old arms and food continued to enter the military camps of the August Empire rebels.
The first batch of oldest rifles in the outer continent, and also the last batch of single-shot breech-loading rifles in existence, totaling 300,000, were all sent to the hands of the rebels of the Creation God Sect, directly arming the rebels of the August Empire.
The rebels in the Augu Empire began to launch an attack on the hinterland of the Augu Empire, and the Demonic Alliance forces also appeared at the border at the right time. The border defenders of the Augu Empire were frightened so that they did not dare to take any action. They could only watch the hinterland being ravaged by the rebels.
The Augu Empire was the first country to gradually fall into a disadvantage during the rebel attack. As a last resort, the Zansikat Empire had sent 200,000 elites to assist in suppressing the rebellion.
This is also the first time that the Zanskart Empire has sent out troops in hundreds of years. It is unknown what kind of combat effectiveness these elites who have never experienced war can exert.
With the beginning of the United Magic Empire, the Maxim Empire, which had a business background, naturally would not let this opportunity pass by, and began to have frequent contact with the rebels of the Kingdom of Langebel.
All the obsolete lever rifles were sold to the rebels in batches.
The Fur M77 rifle lever rifle was equipped in a very large amount in the Maxim Empire, reaching a terrifying 300,000 pieces, but it was later replaced by the Fur 98K.
Although the lever rifle has the dual advantages of rate of fire and ammunition capacity, its shortcomings are also obvious. The structure is too complex, just like a precision handicraft.
Weapons brought to the battlefield do not need to be absolutely advanced, but reliability and ease of repair and maintenance are criteria that must be considered. Every time the lever is turned on the Foer M77 rifle, it means that the lower receiver is opened.
Environment, sand and foreign matter can easily enter it.
Another problem with the Fur M77 rifle is that it is not airtight, has insufficient chamber pressure, and lacks power. The reason why it was finally completely eliminated by the Maxim Empire was the widespread use of pointed bullets.
This is because the magazine of the Foer M77 rifle is tubular, and bullets are inserted head-to-tail one by one. When loading, the next bullet hits the primer of the previous bullet, which can easily cause a misfire.
The penetrating power of pointed bullets is stronger than that of round-nose bullets. Coupled with the stronger chamber pressure, the Fur 98K rifle can easily penetrate the body of professionals below level five, but the Fur M77 rifle is only slightly more powerful than a submachine gun at most.
.
As the war appeared on battlefields in various places, the Foer M77 rifle also exposed the problem of shooting posture. Both the lever rifle and the bolt-action rifle can be fired from the prone position, but because the bolt handle of the lever rifle is below, it is difficult to turn the bolt.
When you need to turn sideways, you have to aim with your shoulders again.
It seriously affects the use of soldiers on the battlefield, especially with the rise and popularization of trench tactics, this weapon is even more inconvenient.
As soon as the Fur M77 rifle arrived in the hands of the Langebel Kingdom rebels, it attracted unanimous praise.
Three hundred thousand Fur M77 rifles were exchanged for a large amount of cheap mineral resources and cheap raw materials.
Among them, the coal mines replaced 1.2 billion tons, which made Emperor Foer very happy. With so many coal mines, he didn't know how much coal crystals could be refined.
As the three countries reaped the benefits, they began to increase the rebel trade with the central countries, and the pace of the war also slowed down. These things made the Merlocks Empire on the other side envious.
Trading weapons, the light weapons currently in service in the Merlox Empire are all the most advanced weapons in the outer continent and cannot be easily traded, unlike the other three countries that have taken many detours and produced many weapons that have been eliminated by the times.
The most backward rifle is the single-base 12.7mm rifle based on the Chinese official rifle. After the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle entered service, this rifle has been withdrawn from the National Defense Forces and reserve forces.
However, among the weapons currently in service in the four countries on the outer continent, it is also one of the best. As for the more advanced ASh-12.7mm double-base rifle and Type 81 rifle, it goes without saying that they cannot temporarily produce a batch of rifles and sell them to the rebels.
.
"No, we can indeed temporarily produce a batch of rifles and sell them to the rebels."
Aslan pondered for a while and then said: "Type 81 horse rifle!"
This is a simple rifle designed by Lan Marlock at the request of Gwenneville. Its performance is very ordinary, and its production environment requirements are not high. The Principality of Prince can mass-produce it on its own, and the cost is very cheap.
With the current perfect industrial system of the Melox Empire, it is cheaper than the Federation Type 88 rifle.
Aslan decisively issued an order for imitation production, and the firearms factory in Ellendine Fortress was responsible for the production. As a result, it took only two months for the firearms factory in Ellendine Fortress to be reborn, with a monthly output of five
Thousands of weapons began to enter into large-scale trade with the rebel armies of the Eurasian Federation.
The Melox Empire demanded more and more complicated things, and they would not refuse anyone who came, as long as they were raw materials and resources, which greatly delighted the rebels in the Eurasian Federation.
The four countries in the outer continent strongly supported the rebels of the central countries. The four great empires in the central countries were terribly angry. The most angry among them was the August Empire. Their military strength was greatly damaged. The newly-built army had just been transferred to the border front. Domestic
The troops were empty and were completely suppressed by the rebels. However, the Demonic Alliance forces also sent troops to support them, forcing the border garrison to not dare to retreat even half a step. They could only see the new soldiers in the territory being suppressed and beaten by the rebels. With the equipment of the rebels,
With the increasing number of rifles, this situation is becoming more and more obvious.
The top leaders of the rebel army also knew what the four countries in the outer continent were up to, but they had no choice, they could either start a prairie fire with a spark, or be strangled in the cradle.
Since there has been an uprising, they naturally have to do their best. However, the rebels also have a tacit understanding and have not attacked the border defenders. They have not even invaded the territory controlled by the border defenders for tens of kilometers, allowing them to feel at ease to resist the invasion of the four countries in the outer continent.
If there is an emergency at the border, they will do their best to provide support.
The rebels are very happy for the Demonic Alliance to contain the border defenders. However, once the Demonic Alliance gets too close to the border, the Rebels will give up the attack and even send some of their elite troops to stand by at the border.
