Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Chapter VIII Rifles, Machine Guns, Cannons

In April 1875, the weather in Madrid gradually warmed up, and Alfonso was more adapted to the warm spring than the cold winter.

Your Majesty, Maxim and Vieri have asked to meet, they are already waiting in the conference room.

Howard pushed open the door and said to Alfonso, who stood up and moved his muscles because of his long sitting.

Could it be that their research has yielded results? Alfonso's eyes lit up, and he asked with his hands on the table.

Let's go and have a look. After speaking, he walked towards the conference room in the lead.

Only Howard, who was slightly depressed, was left...

In the conference room at this time, Mark Qin Yuvieri was talking when suddenly the door of the conference room opened.

Hey, guys, has the weapon I wanted come to fruition? Alfonso was more excited, no wonder, this is an epoch-making product.

Yes, Your Majesty, the thing you asked for has some key points that you provided us. The finished product has been made. The two looked at each other and replied.

Where's the stuff? Alfonso was even more excited.

We have arranged the carriage and put it all in the carriage.

Vierily replied first, that he always seemed more reliable than Maxim.

It has been a few months since the arrival of Mark and Qin. The smokeless powder, machine guns, rapid-fire artillery, and smokeless rifles they are responsible for, although they have been produced in a few months, feel a little unreliable.

But it's not surprising when a modern man from the 21st century helps them bring up the important points.

Geniuses may be missing a certain key point, and Alfonso may not know most of them, but he just knows some important points. Such a complementarity is naturally fast.

Let's go and see. I can't wait. Alfonso urged the two of them

Which of you are going to drive their carriage over, we will go directly to the experimental site to gather.

On the way, he ordered the guards who were guarding him and took the two to the experimental site.

...

The experimental field of the Royal Palace of Madrid is more like a garden than an experimental field. After all, how could there be such a thing as an experimental field in a royal palace.

After a while, the guards had already driven the carriage to the side, and several guards hurriedly removed the weapons from the carriage.

Your Majesty wants to see the test firing of that kind of weapon first. Maxim asked.

Let's look at machine guns first. I'm most interested in machine guns, said Alfonso, who really had a soft spot for machine guns.

I saw Mark Qin greeted the two guards, they ordered a few words, and gestured at the machine gun.

The two soldiers had already stepped in front of the machine gun and began to become proficient.

Two hundred meters away, several soldiers have moved a large stone.

Your Majesty, it's ready to shoot. Mark Qin said after the soldiers who placed the target stones withdrew.

Let's start! I can't wait. Alfonso couldn't hide his excitement. As a law-abiding Chinese citizen in his previous life, Alfonso had never seen a real gun.

The appearance of the machine gun is very similar to that of the Maxim machine gun, but there are slight differences. Above the thick triangular bracket is a barrel with a thick fist, and the bullets are stored in a straight iron box, that is, the magazine.

A machine gun magazine has a hundred rounds of ammunition, and there are dozens of magazines in the car. I think it should be well prepared.

Two soldiers put the magazines on the machine guns slightly jerky, one soldier was dragging a ribbon-like metal bullet, and the other soldier had already reached the firing position.

Peng Peng Peng... With Alfonso's order, the machine gun began to shoot fire snakes angrily, and the rapid bursts of bullets formed into a straight line, and the irritable voice continued.

Oh, it's so exciting, so incredible. Alfonso jumped up excitedly.

No man can refuse this violent metal storm,

And the large stone in front of it that was used as the target gradually became fragmented from the concave small holes.

Go and inform General Arsenio, let him come quickly, and tell him that the army's killer has come out.

Alfonso said to the other guard, then pointed to the artillery and rifle.

Come on, try these two too.

And the guard who tested the fire was obviously shocked, and after a while, he realized that he trotted over to get the rifle.

Man, I'll teach you how to use it. Maxim walked over together and picked up the rifle.

The first characteristic of this rifle is that it is long and compact. It uses the same 7.62mm bullet as Maxim, which is a unified caliber for the convenience of industrial production.

Peng, Peng,

Maxim loaded 5 rounds of bullets, shot twice in a row, and the sound of dripping water sounded. This is the anti-manufacturing version of the Mosin Nagant rifle.

The effective range of this rifle is 600-800 meters, and it can be loaded with 5 bullets at a time, while all the Dreiser rifles used by the German Army have an effective range of no more than 600 meters and can only be shot in a single shot. Our rifles are now The best in the world.

Mark Qin said with a little interest, after all, this rifle was made by him.

There is also the last rapid-fire artillery, which has an effective range of 8,500 meters and a theoretical maximum rate of fire of 2 seconds per round, while the German Krupp artillery has a maximum rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute, and their effective range is only 3,500 meters, while France's maximum range is only 2,000 meters.

Vieri said, after all, the limelight can't let Mark Qin go out alone, and he looks like Alfonso.

Before Alfonso could answer, Arsenio hurried over.

Your Majesty, where are my guns and cannons!

Arsenio was also a little excited. The army he was in charge of finally added a big killer.

No, it's these three, and the artillery hasn't been tested yet. Just when you came, let's take a look.

Alfonso pointed to the 75mm gun.

There were no soldiers to operate this time. In order to experience the speed of fire of the artillery, Vielli and Maxim personally started, one loaded the ammunition and the other fired.

Put, pound, pound, pound...

In just one minute, the 75mm gun had fired 16 rounds.

It's amazing, it's amazing, don't know when these weapons will be available in the military, which can greatly improve our military.

Alfonso didn't speak, turning to look like Howard.

In the large arsenal on the outskirts of Madrid, three large independent workshops have been opened for the production of these weapons.

Among them, rifles, machine guns and cannons can be installed in the entire army in two months.

But the unified caliber 7.62mm bullet, because Maxim's bullet consumption is relatively large, it may not keep up with the supply. There will also be a shortage of artillery shells, but the pre-training is guaranteed.

Howard said meticulously, as the old man behind Alfonso, he had already arranged all this.

The entire army is reloaded with rifles, two machine guns per shift, and 1,000 cannons. The government placed an order with the Spanish state-owned Military Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to expand the bullet production line of the Madrid Arms Factory. The Madrid Second Factory, which has already started construction, Boer The Goss plant and the Toledo plant are all placed under the Spanish state-owned Military Manufacturing Co., Ltd.”

Alfonso said, Start manufacturing with full force from today, Arsenio, I need you to start today, within 3 months, so that the army can form combat effectiveness.

Arsenio nodded in salute.

Let Rasheeds contact local textile companies and make sure the army wears new uniforms within two months

The new military uniform that Alfonso mentioned is the German 36 military uniform boots and M16 helmet he said last time.

Rifle named Vielli 1875 Rifle (formerly Mosin Nagant Rifle)

The machine gun was named Maxim 1875 machine gun (original Maxim machine gun)

The artillery is named ESP1875 artillery, ESP is the English abbreviation of Spain (the original French m1897 artillery, also known as Miss 75mm)”

Vieri and Maxim were very excited when they heard that the rifle and the machine gun were named after them. Such a naming method will definitely be recorded in the Spanish history books.

On the other hand, Arsenio, Howard and others looked at the two with envy. After all, the honor named by the king himself is not enjoyed by ordinary people.

What's more, these three epoch-making weapons can indeed make them leave their own pages in Spain and even in the world.

The history of world wars will therefore be rewritten and a new chapter will be opened.
