The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Oh, that's fine." Shangwen finally felt relieved.

"It's rare for Mr. Qin to come to Wei's Mansion in our country. It's a lucky day. Then sit down and have a good talk." Wei Liao said, holding Shang Wen's hand.

"Come here, prepare the food and drinks. I want to have a few drinks with Mr. Qin." Wei Liao happily led Shang Wen to the backyard.

"Master Wei Liao. I..." Shang Wenwen thought about solving the printing problem of the stocks.but now.

Came to a small pavilion in the backyard.

"Please." Wei Liao made a gesture of please.

"Please." Shangwen had no choice but to temporarily put aside the issue of stock printing.

The attendant on the side brought some side dishes and wine.Shangwen looked at the poured wine.I wonder if I am using my medical level to increase the alcohol level.The ancient wine is not so good.

"Please." Wei Liao raised his wine glass first.Then he motioned and drank it.

"Please." Shang Wen had to do the same, otherwise, it would be the host's disrespect.That's why Shangwen also took a mouthful of stuffiness.Fortunately, the degree of alcohol is not very high, if it is high alcohol.OMG.This mouthful must be fatal.

"I can see that Mr. Qin is a straightforward person. Then I don't blame it for playing around." Wei Liao said.

"Da Qin wants to establish the Heavenly Army. The king and I discussed the candidates for the Heavenly Army. I think Mr. Qin is the best candidate." Wei Liao said directly.

"I, this is impossible." Shangwen said in surprise.

"Sir, don't be in a hurry. Don't refuse." Wei Liao stretched out his hand to persuade.

"This Heavenly Army is an extraordinary army. And this is the first time in history. Because this time the battle is at the head of all the armies. This army comes from Mr. Qin's whimsy. So, Mr. Qin You have to take on such important duties." Wei Liao said slowly.

"This is just one of them. The other thing is that the sky army relies on the flying airship. The technology relied on cannot be understood by Mr. Qin. If you want to train a sky army first, if you don't even understand the principle of flying, what's the point?" Lead the army to fight. What's Mr. Qin's opinion?" Wei Liao asked directly.

"En." Shang Wen bowed his head and began to think about what Wei Liao said, what Wei Liao said was indeed reasonable.The air force of later generations was not established all at once.In the beginning, all air forces basically appeared as Army Air Forces.In other words, the Air Force was initially attached to the Army.As a part of the Army, the Air Force was initially responsible for transmitting intelligence, reconnaissance and other tasks. With the development of the technical level, the role of the Air Force became more and more obvious.Only then did they begin to break away from the army and become an army alone.

But now, Daqin has developed the air force as a military branch from the very beginning.It has to be said that it is a super development.This may all be due to their own merits.Moreover, in the following wars, the degree of dependence on the air force may be very high.The airship is not yet obvious, and the appearance of the aircraft is the real air force.Mobility beyond the army.The momentum of diving from high altitude with weapons.These are the advantages of the Air Force.Li out the air force at the beginning, that is to say, it gave the air force a lot of room to play.

From the point of view of candidates.For this space to be fully exploited, the role of the Air Force must be recognized from the outset.Long-term planning for the development of the Air Force, if you want to have such an awareness, you must recognize technology.This has overwhelmed all the current generals of the Qin army.Their understanding of the Air Force is still vague.The feeling of awe of the sky has not been completely dispelled.This is very detrimental to the development of the Air Force.It is very likely that the fledgling air force will be attached to the army again.This is the last thing Shangwen wants to see.It would be a pity that the Air Force could not come out alone.

"En. This candidate seems to be mine." Shang Wen made up his mind after pondering for a while.To build an air force.It should be the Heavenly Army of Daqin.

"However, my name should be the head of the Air Force. After training a group of generals, I will let go of it." Shang Wen stated his conditions.

"Of course." Wei Liao was very happy to see Shang Wen's promise.Personally fill Shangwen with a cup of wine.

"Please." Wei Liao raised his glass and said.

"Please." Shang Wen raised his glass and said.

The two drank at the same time.

Put down your glass.Shang Wen felt that for the construction of the army, he should tell Wei Liao some of the practices of the later generations of the army as a reference.

"There are more." Shang Wen and Wei Liao said together.

"Sir, please tell me." Shang Wen and Wei Liao still said together.

"Hahahaha." After surfing the Internet, he and Wei Liao laughed together.

"Let me go first." Wei Liao said.

"Today, my Majesty and I discussed the reform of the military merit system. It is to change the original 21-level military merit system into the military rank system you mentioned. But these measures are only implemented in the new Musketeers. Then we will see the situation. If it is good, Then the State of Qin will adopt this system while changing the firearms. What does Mr. Qin agree with?" Wei Liao said.

"Well, very good." Shang Wen nodded and said.This is still in line with their original requirements.Because the main body of Qin's army is still soldiers with cold weapons.Those with muskets are only a small part of them.Moreover, the current production capacity of Qin's guns and artillery is very limited.Under the very limited production capacity of guns and artillery, they will be exported to the six countries in large quantities.The equipment was basically just warming hands in the hands of Qin soldiers, and was immediately put away.Packaged and sold to the six countries.Moreover, the weapons are not yet very mature. For example, the simplest is standardization, that is to say, there is no finalization.The shape of the musket.The shape of the artillery.And the caliber of the bullet.The length of the barrel.Although at the beginning, the craftsmen consciously followed Qin's style of making weapons.But it has not become an express regulation.Moreover, the export model is consistent with the model used by Qin State itself.If the Sixth Team with a lot of equipment suddenly comes over.That was the biggest joke ever.

Thinking of this, Shangwen felt that it was time to formalize.The regularization of the army requires the regularization of logistics, and the regularization of logistics requires the overall adjustment of the large system of supply behind.

167 Weapon Transformation

"Actually, this military rank system is based on hot weapons." Shang Wen stopped thinking and said to Wei Liao slowly.

"Oh. Please see me, sir." Wei Liao put down his glass and said.

"Weapons can be divided into hot and cold. The cold weapons are the knives, halberds, and spears that most of Daqin currently possesses. The hot weapons are the muskets and cannons. Compared with the traditional cold weapons, hot weapons have a qualitative change." Shang Wen Said carefully.

"Cold weapons need manpower. The strength of the manpower determines the power of the weapon. Moreover, the attack distance of cold weapons is also very limited. Take shooting weapons, bows and arrows can shoot 150 steps in a curve, and Within 150 steps. It is no longer possible to guarantee the accuracy of the shooting." Shangwen gave examples one by one.

"En." Wei Liao nodded approvingly.

"Mr. Qin is right. According to this weapon, it can't be the power, the range of the attack, and the precision. If compared with these hot weapons, there is indeed a qualitative breakthrough." Wei Liao suddenly realized. Said.

"First of all, the power. It is also within fifty steps. Similar weapons. Ge, halberd attack distance is not as good as muskets. And the power is not as powerful as muskets. At present, all armor and bullets fired by muskets can penetrate. Soldiers even Wearing the heaviest armor is useless. Even if there is, it is very heavy. Even if it can withstand the fire of muskets, it may not be able to withstand the fire of artillery. The appearance of these weapons is bound to cause a reaction. This Weapons must be updated." Wei Liao began to realize that the breakthrough in weapons led to changes in the form of warfare.

"That's true. Guns and artillery rely on chemical energy, not traditional biological energy. The energy released by chemistry has far exceeded the energy that the human body can release. With the increase in lethality, the requirements imposed on the human body The power has reached its limit. At this time, there is an urgent need for a weapon that can exceed the limit of human physical strength. This is the case with the application of chemical energy. Gunpowder can provide such energy in a short period of time in a burst, and The energy released is more than dozens of times that of human beings. Take muskets as an example. The initial speed of muskets now has reached two per second." The rise of Shang Wen's words has completely forgotten the ability that Wei Liao can accept.

"Oh. Oh." Wei Liao listened in a daze.Because he doesn't know many things, such as bioenergy.He can barely accept it.But chemical energy is used, and then what is the initial velocity.Then there is 200 meters per second.This is the unit?

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by the initial velocity, and 200 meters per second. What is this?" Wei Liao hurriedly asked.Fearing that Shangwen would not be able to control himself, he suddenly uttered some strange new words.

"Initial velocity. It's Newton's three laws. According to... oops. Let's talk about this later." Shangwen knew it all at once.If explained.Very troublesome.It's better to pick something simple and understandable.For example, the unit of 200 meters per second.

"Let me explain 200 meters per second. A second is the smaller unit of time, which is almost the blink of an eye. He flies 200 meters. It is almost a hundred feet." Shangwen explained.

"Oh. In the blink of an eye, you can fly a hundred feet." Wei Liao said further.

"Yes. Compared with cold weapons, it can reach this speed. It is basically the limit. And the higher the speed, the stronger the killing effect and the more obvious the penetration effect. In other words, the thicker the armor, the more it can penetrate .” Shang Wen explained.

"Well, it seems. From now on, the combat style will undergo a major change." Wei Liao said.

"Yes. A big change. And it must be a big change." Shangwen said.

"The change is that the attack effect of 1000 people in the past can now be achieved with only 100 people. In order to control these 100 people more conveniently, a new management system must be used to control the army."

"For example, this platoon rank system. When all the musketeers are lined up in a straight line, the platoon leader must be in command. The company commander only needs to command the platoon leader. There are 30 platoon leaders. Among the 30, there are sergeants. Squad leader, it's very quick and convenient to control like this."

"Compared to the original corporal leader, it is very long. The system. The squad leader controls about eight to 12 people. And it is controlled in this way. It can just play the power of the musket. If you use the corporal leader, it is too small. Very long, It cannot be changed flexibly. Moreover, among the units of the Qin Army, there is no unit that controls 30 people. In this way, it is very inconvenient to manipulate." Shang Wen said the problem of the establishment.

"The appearance of muskets made the formation start to become scattered. Although at the beginning it was necessary to control the formation to exert the overall power of the muskets. For example, facing the overwhelming charge of other armies. A well-trained formation can fully resist this kind of attack. A large-scale charge. But if the opponent is a small-scale charge, the soldiers can use the platoon as a unit and spread out." Shang Wen said.

"With the development of weapons, it will be able to appear in one minute in the future. That is, in sixty blinks, a weapon that shoots three hundred bullets will appear. In this case, soldiers must be more dispersed. This is the essence of technology. Requirements. The development of technology must be followed by a very suitable management and combat system. Otherwise, the original system will still be followed. That would be a disaster." Shang Wen said.Speak up.The Civil War, as well as the British army in World War I, did not make such a mistake. When the musket was equipped with a cap, the shooting speed was increased.In addition, in World War I, the Maxim machine gun with a higher shooting speed appeared.If you still organize the charge according to the original formation, it is simply not taking human life seriously.War is all about efficiency.Such a low combat mode, if not updated in time.Then, the result can only be tragedy.

"En. Mr. Qin said it. It seems that I have to ask Mr. Qin to teach some of these courses to those generals. Otherwise, it is only us civilian officials who are aware of the changes in weapons. The soldiers at the lower level, the officers are not aware of it. The same will happen. mistake." Wei Liao suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.This also achieved the purpose of Shang Wen's remarks.Shang Wen just wanted to remind Wei Liao that weapons are improving.Strategy and tactics have to go further.The management of the army also needs to go further.And make corrections at any time.For this work, those generals in high positions should be aware of the seriousness of this problem.

168 Military Academy, Sergeant Training Course

"Yes." Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Wei Liao's thought was timely." Shang Wen said.

"I have an idea." Shangwen immediately thought of something that he had planned for a long time in his mind, which was a modern military academy.With military academies, army commanders can be trained on a large scale.And, with these officers.The backbone of the army can be established.
