I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Unfortunately, however, Qin Ruihua knew nothing about the conspiracy that Dongyang State was secretly planning.

If he knew that Dongyang State was planning to attack him and attempt to occupy the entire Nanyang region, then Dongyang State would undoubtedly become his mortal enemy.

Regardless of whether Dongyang State really dares to take action against Yan State, just from its ambition to invade Southeast Asia, Dongyang State has already stood on the opposite side of Qin Ruihua.

Because in Qin Ruihua's heart, he has long regarded Nanyang as his own territory.

However, the time is not yet ripe, after all, there are colonies of Australia and the United States in the South Seas region.

In the future, we can gradually erode the islands close to Yan Country, and when our own strength is enough to compete with Li Jian Country, we can seize the entire South Seas in one fell swoop.

Of course, at this stage, the military strength of Yan State may not be comparable to that of Dongyang State.

What needs special mention here is the gap in the navy.

As for the army and air force, Yan State does not need to fear Dongyang State.

Although the Dongyang army is huge in number, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment and combat capabilities.

Once the two aircraft carriers of Yan State are successfully launched, it will then have enough confidence to deal with the challenges brought by Dongyang State.

The next morning, Lu Hangxuan came to the palace with a brand new experimental fully automatic rifle.

He introduced to Qin Ruihua: "Your Majesty, this is our latest developed rifle, please take a look."

Qin Ruihua took the gun and looked at it carefully.

He found that this rifle was somewhat similar to the FAL automatic rifle from his previous life, but not exactly the same.

He asked curiously: "What is the specific performance of this gun?!"

Lu Hangxuan explained: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a new type of fully automatic rifle."

"Using 7.62mm full-power bullet."

“Currently, the rifle is in the final stages of commissioning.”

"If everything goes well, it will soon be put into production and equipped to the troops."

Qin Ruihua nodded to show his understanding.

He knew very well that weapons research and development required time and energy and that one could not rush for success.

So he decided to go to the shooting range to test shoot the new gun himself.

After arriving at the shooting range in the palace, Qin Ruihua looked at the targets neatly arranged in front of him, and a sense of anticipation surged in his heart.

He picked up the new gun, loaded the magazine expertly, and prepared to shoot.

However, at this moment, Lu Hangxuan suddenly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"This is just a test product. If there is a malfunction or accident, the consequences will be disastrous! Please think twice!"

Qin Ruihua listened and felt that what Lu Hangxuan said made sense. After all, this was just a new gun that had not yet been finalized, and there were certain risks.

So he put down the gun in his hand and said to the guard captain Lin beside him: "Arrange a soldier to come over and let him test this gun for me."

Guard Captain Lin immediately responded, "As you command, Your Majesty!"

After a while, a young soldier ran to the shooting range and stood respectfully in front of Qin Ruihua.

Qin Ruihua handed the new gun to the soldier and said, "Perform well and don't let me down."

The soldier took the gun and nodded excitedly, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

After saying that, he walked to the target and prepared to start shooting.

With the crisp sound of gunshots, the soldiers kept pulling the trigger, shooting bullets accurately at the target.

Qin Ruihua, Lu Hangxuan and others stood aside, staring at the target paper nervously.

After a while of shooting, the soldier finally stopped what he was doing.

He ran back to Qin Ruihua excitedly and reported: "Your Majesty, the performance of this gun is excellent, with a fast firing rate and high accuracy."

"It's just that the recoil is a bit strong. It's no problem for single-shot shooting, but it's very unstable if you shoot continuously."

After hearing this, Qin Ruihua showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He turned to look at Lu Hangxuan and exclaimed: "Yes, this gun is indeed much better than the previous one."

"But you also heard that the recoil from continuous shooting is very strong."

"Let's change it to medium-power bullets. That should be better."

Minister of Military Industry Lu Hangxuan immediately responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go back and repair it as soon as possible."

Qin Ruihua nodded, and then continued: "Minister Lu, you can change the MG42 general-purpose machine guns to the same caliber, so that the bullets can be interchangeable."

"Also, I think our submachine guns are outdated and we could consider phasing them out."

"There is no need to invest more resources in the research and development of semi-automatic rifles. The troops can just use these fully automatic rifles."

"With a powerful fully automatic rifle like this, the existence of a submachine gun doesn't really matter."

Then he emphasized: "Also, we must copy the RPG-2 rocket launcher as soon as possible, but we must improve it."

"Because the current range is too short, it would be best if it could be extended to about 200 meters."

"In addition, a sniper version of this rifle should be designed, so that the troops will no longer have obvious shortcomings."

Finally, he concluded: "All weapons produced in the future will be manufactured according to this bullet caliber."

"This includes the machine guns on various armored vehicles that will also be replaced with this caliber. Of course, the heavy machine guns will remain the same."

Lu Hangxuan replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Qin Ruihua said, "If you have nothing else to do, go back first. Leave this test gun here. I want to try it out, too."

Lu Hangxuan replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

After seeing Minister Lu leave, Qin Lihua couldn't wait to pick up the rifle and try it out.

At the beginning, his shooting performance was pretty good and his bullets hit the target accurately.

However, when he switched to continuous shooting mode, things changed.

The powerful recoil made him feel a little overwhelmed, and his shooting accuracy dropped sharply, making it almost impossible to hit the target.

Upon seeing this, Chief Guard Lin Xuan also stepped forward and test fired a few rounds.

The result was the same as Qin Lihua's. They all realized that this rifle would be an excellent semi-automatic weapon.

But it still has a long way to go before it can become a fully automatic rifle.

After all, such recoil is too great for ordinary soldiers. Even if they can fire, it is difficult to ensure shooting accuracy.

On the battlefield, inaccurate firepower is equivalent to an ineffective attack, so this gun needs further improvement and optimization.

If the ammunition is changed to medium-power bullets, it may be possible to reduce recoil and improve the performance of the gun.

But this is just a preliminary idea and more experiments and tests are needed to determine whether it is feasible.

Qin Lihua put down the rifle in her hand and shook her head slightly.

Despite some of the gun's flaws, it still shows a lot of potential.

As long as these problems can be overcome, I believe that more advanced and more powerful weapons and equipment will be produced in the future.

At the same time, Minister of Military Industry Lu Hangxuan had already begun to think about how to improve this rifle.
