"And after you return to the War Department, be sure to tell the Quartermaster Bureau that they must strictly control the production of rifles!

It is expected that it will not be long before we have to replace the new rifle! "

Jerome Bonaparte once again revealed his plans to Montauban. He planned to equip all Mauser breech guns into the army by the end of 1857 at the latest.

Hearing Jerome Bonaparte's plan, a slightly surprised expression appeared on Montauban's face, and then he said that he would definitely bring his words to the Quartermaster Bureau.

"By the way, the next model of the rifle will be equipped in Algiers first, you governor of Algiers, don't give me the chain!" Jerome Bonaparte said casually.

"Your Majesty, is the next model still a front-loading rifle?" Montauban immediately asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Montauban: "The next type of rifle will be the breech-loading rifle!"

"Rear-loading rifle!" Montauban looked at Jerome Bonaparte in surprise. He didn't understand why the shrewd emperor would do such a "stupid" thing.

The rear-loading rifle is far less than the front-loading rifle in terms of range and power. Its only advantage lies in the rate of fire and the freedom of shooting.

However, what France now pays attention to is not the rate of fire, but the accuracy of the shot and the organization of the army.

Therefore, in Montauban's view, these two advantages are not considered advantages, but its disadvantages are very obvious.

"What's the matter?" Although Jerome Bonaparte knew what Montauban was thinking, he still asked Montauban with a curious expression: "Do you also have an opinion on the breech gun?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think the breech-loading gun should be the weapon of the next generation in France!" Montauban retorted to Jerome Bonaparte, "We should continue on the road of the breech-loading gun!"

"Then tell me, what else is there for the front loading gun??" Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

As a traverser, he understands the limitations of the front-loading gun too well. The Migne rifle can be said to be the masterpiece of the front-loading gun, and further improvements will be in vain.

The rear-loading gun is different, its potential can be said to have no limit in a hundred years.

Breech Single Shot Rifle (Mauser 1870) - Breech Repeater Rifle (Morganassin) - Semi-Automatic Rifle - Automatic Rifle.

These are the experiences that "predecessors" have given to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte would not be foolish enough not to follow the route prescribed by the predecessors and have to **** alone.

"Your Majesty, the rear-mounted gun also has many shortcomings!" Montauban replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Yes! The rear-loading gun does have many disadvantages!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and admitted, "But you can't deny that he also has many advantages!

A qualified rear-loading rifle can effectively reduce the difficulty of training, and at the same time allow our army to suppress the firepower of the opponent in a short time!

Just imagine, others only shoot one bullet per minute, but you shoot 3 or even 4 at once! This way you can have more possibilities to destroy your opponent! "

"However, this will cause us to face logistical difficulties!" Montauban retorted subconsciously.

"Minister of Montauban, hasn't the Crimean War warned you yet?" Jerome Bonaparte's tone was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that the war minister he had chosen was timid and hadn't reacted to the future war. Shift in mode!

"The Female President's Almighty King"

Montauban, who was "referred to" by Jerome Bonaparte, suddenly remembered Jerome Bonaparte's repeated emphasis on the role of railway transportation. He realized that the logistical difficulties that were wrong in the past could be made up for by railway transportation. .

"I understand!" Montauban replied quickly: "Your Majesty, what you want to say is that logistics can be made up by railways, so there is no need to worry about logistics!"

Jerome Bonaparte smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time showed the expression of "teachable children".

"You are right!" said Jerome Bonaparte to Montauban. "Our time is different from that of my uncle. We have a more powerful transport system than the previous one!

As long as it is properly arranged, there is no need to worry about logistics at all.

Just like we did during the Crimean War, as long as we can coordinate the dispatch of the railways!

That's why I keep stressing that your war department must set the time and memorize the railway timetable!

The decisive factor in the future war will be the strength of the railway application and mobilization on both sides! "

"The role of the railway and the strength of the mobilization!" Montauban exclaimed.

"The future war will not be a battle of 100,000 or 200,000 troops, and a general mobilization of a million or even two million troops!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Montauban in a low voice: "One day Where the frontal width is only more than 100 kilometers, there may be more than one million troops away from the army, and the depth of the battle between the two sides may not exceed 20 kilometers!"

"It's impossible!" Montauban didn't believe what Jerome Bonaparte said about the war. Even during the Napoleonic Wars, France had never experienced such a thing.

"Minister of Montauban, nothing is impossible!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed to Montauban, "Technology is changing our destiny, and at the same time making the fighting in future wars even more difficult. tragic!

Crimea is just the beginning of our march towards cruelty! "

Although Montauban was unwilling to believe what Jerome Bonaparte said now, he also faintly felt that the future war that Jerome Bonaparte said was indeed possible.

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte decided to stop talking, and he then replied to Montauban: "Stop this question for now!

France's next-generation rifle is indeed a breech-loading rifle, and I don't care if you like it or not, there is no possibility of moderation on this issue!

After you serve as governor of Algiers, be sure to actively cooperate with the rifle test! "

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Montauban nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Seeing that Montauban was a little emotional, Jerome Bonaparte responded to Montauban again: "However, don't worry! I can assure you one thing. The performance of the next-generation rifle will definitely be better than the current one, and it will be airtight. Sexual problems, they are also trying to solve as much as possible!

If you still don't believe it, you can go to Mauser and try it out for yourself!

I think you should love it! "

Montauban nodded again, and he decided to take the time to go to the Mauser gun factory to have a look.

"Also, you need to know about this next-generation rifle!" Jerome Bonaparte told Montauban, "I don't want to make a scene! If this matter spreads, I will be the first I'll find you!

have you understood? "

"Understood!" Montauban replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! You can go back!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and replied to Montauban.

Montauban rose and saluted Jérôme Bonaparte and left his office.



In the days that approached the arrival of the Victoria couple, Jerome Bonaparte was non-stop processing the information sent by the secretariat, while summoning bankers in France to discuss the European Monetary Union.

However, instead of calling them all for a meeting, he called them in batches to ask their opinions.

The first group of people convened were four, they were Chancellor of the Exchequer Magnet, President of the Bank of France Bemini, Minister of State Fuld, and the former President of the Bank of France, Argoux.

For the Count of Argoux who has been idle at home, the summoning of Jerome Bonaparte is undoubtedly the greatest respect for him.

Although he himself did not approve of the European Monetary Union in the mouth of the emperor, he still came to the royal meeting at the Tuinlery Palace.

When Count Argu entered the imperial conference hall, he immediately saw two ministers and a bank president who had been waiting for a while.

Looking at the smug "Iron Triangle", Count Argu showed a bitter smile on his face.

At the beginning, I was pulled off the horse by this group of people in front of me.

"Count Argoux, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, you are here!" Bemini, the president of the Bank of France, hurriedly came to him and pretended to be in front of him after seeing the Count of Argoux who was already on a walking stick. The expression of "respecting the old and loving the young" helped Argu.

"Count Bemini, thank you!" Count Argu said to Bemini with a forced smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, Count Argu kept reminding himself that at this time, the more he could not lose his demeanor.

The most taboo thing in political games is to tear one's face, which means that there will be absolutely no room for relaxation between the two sides!

In this way, Bemini supported Argoux and waited for the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte.

Five minutes later, Jerome Bonaparte appeared in front of them.

Everyone present saluted Jerome Bonaparte one after another, Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand gently and said to everyone present, "You don't need it!"

Then he gave Mokar another order to bring in some chairs.

Mocar hurriedly brought three back chairs, and Jerome Bonaparte, sitting on the throne, discussed with the four people under the throne.

"Everyone, I think you all know, I'm talking about the purpose of your call!" Jerome Bonaparte said straight to the three present: "Tell me, who should this European Monetary Union meeting be handed over to? Better to organize!"

"Your Majesty, I think it should be handed over to you to lead!" Fuld immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Bemini, Magnet and the Count of Argoux also agreed at the same time that it would be better for Jerome Bonaparte to lead and organize the meeting in person.

"Then who will be the French representative for this meeting?" Jerome Bonaparte asked slowly and leisurely as he glanced at the three present.
