"However, this rifle could put a lot of pressure on our logistics!"

Jerome Patterson is right, the emergence of breech guns, breech guns and machine guns will indeed bring some pressure on logistics.

After all, a skilled soldier could fire 2 rounds per minute in the muzzle period, while the Mauser 2.0 did exactly 8 or 9 rounds per minute.

If the magazine is installed, it can be doubled several times per minute.

This also means that the base of bullets carried by each soldier is also several times the original, and the logistics required are also several times the original.

Take Crimea as an example. During the Crimean War, Jerome Bonaparte sent more than 90 million rounds of ammunition to Crimea.

According to the calculation of 120,000 French troops, 90 million bullets is equivalent to about 750 bullets per person.

And in Jerome Bonaparte's expectation, the future Franco-Prussian war would be a battle of millions of people, and the amount of bullets wasted every day would be as many as ten million.

In such a fight, if there is no excellent logistics system, I am afraid that France will face the danger of becoming a burning stick in a short time.

"The war in the future will be a tragic and cruel war!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Jerome Paterson, "This is why I repeat the importance of logistics over and over again!

If the Empire just wants to be like Emperor Napoleon, it will inevitably lead to the risk of total collapse of our logistics!

But we have to use new weapons, because they allow us to destroy the enemy's living force faster!

Thus ending the war is like a **** marathon, and every country must do its best to not be left behind! "

Jerome Paterson's expression fell into contemplation, while Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to old Mauser, "At the moment, this rifle is completely ready for use!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Old Mauser nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Even he himself did not expect that he could design a rifle with excellent performance so quickly.

In the past, the design of a rifle at least took a long time to conceive, and then it has to be continuously modified to become a qualified product.

It takes at least 4 or 5 years to complete a set of processes, and it only took Mauser about 2 years to design this rifle.

In the middle, the guidance of Jerome Bonaparte and the assistance of his own son are indispensable.

Perhaps William. Mauser and Paul. Mauser will really achieve what the emperor said.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was praising the old Mauser rifle, a soldier led the Secretary of State of the War Department to the shooting range.

"Your Majesty!" The Secretary of State bowed slightly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Who are you?" Jerome Bonaparte asked curiously, looking at the secretary of state in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I am Eugène White, and now I am Secretary of State at the Ministry of War!" Eugène White hurriedly introduced himself to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Secretary Eugene!" Jerome Bonaparte remembered Eugene White, and he asked again, "What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, here is a telegram for you! Minister Wayan ordered me to hand it over to you!" Eugène White said as he handed the telegram to Jerome Bonaparte.

"My telegram?" Jerome Bonaparte took the telegram with a puzzled expression, and then said to Jerome Paterson: "Give the rifle to Secretary Eugene and let him fire twice! "

"Yes!" Jerome Patterson handed the rifle to Eugene White.

Eugene White, who took over the Mauser 2.0 rifle, glanced at the rifle and couldn't help showing a hint of resistance on his face.

Your Majesty, why did you develop a rear-loading rifle! Doesn't he know that the airtightness of the breech-loading gun is a big problem?

Eugene White's expectations for the Mauser rifle dropped a lot.

"Secretary Eugene, here it is!" Jerome Patterson handed the brass fixed-loading bomb to Eugene White's hands again.

Eugene White glanced at the brass bullet with a curious look on his face.

Jerome Patterson knew immediately that Secretary Eugene White knew about this type of bullet for the first time.

So, under the guidance of Jerome Paterson, Eugene White successfully loaded the bullet into the gun chamber.

"Is this all it takes?" Eugene White asked Jerome Patterson next to him with a look of disbelief.

"Yeah!" Jerome Paterson seemed to know the reason for Eugene White's doubts, and he hurriedly explained to Eugene White, "This rifle does not use a flash cap like the Mignet rifle, but It is fired with a side pin!

So there is no need to use fulminate! "

"Yeah!" Eugene White nodded, then aimed at the distant target and pulled the trigger.

After the "bang", the phenomenon of air leakage from the breech that Eugene White imagined did not seem to have happened.

"Mr. Eugene, it's time to draw out the cartridge case!" Jerome Patterson said to Eugene White with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Eugene White put his hand on the bolt and tried to pull the bolt, but found that the bolt couldn't be opened as if it was stuck by something.

Seeing this, Jerome Patterson and the old Mauser and his son also stepped forward to help.

On the other hand, after reading the letter, Jerome Bonaparte noticed the movements of Jerome Paterson and others, and he also walked up to them and asked, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the bolt seems to be stuck by something and can't be pulled out!" Eugene White said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte frowned slightly and said to Eugene White, "Try a little harder!"

After everyone was busy for a while, the metal cartridge case inside the Mauser Rifle 2.0 was just taken out.

"Mr. Mauser, is there any problem with this rifle?" Jerome Bonaparte asked old Mauser softly.

"It shouldn't be!" Old Mauser frowned and whispered.

William Mauser and Paul Mauser also showed dignified expressions. Jerome Bonaparte decided to see the Secretary of State and the others next to them, leaving the three Mausers to think about the problem.

"Secretary Eugene, have you read the contents of the telegram?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Eugene White.

"No!" Eugene White decisively shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I see!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Eugene White on the shoulder and said to Eugene White, "Go back first!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Eugene White bowed to Jerome Bonaparte and left.

After Eugène White was gone, Jerome Bonaparte asked Jerome Patterson with a serious expression: "Patterson, do you want to go to Africa to be the governor!"

"Governor?" Jerome Paterson stared at Jerome Bonaparte, at this moment he couldn't believe his ears.

The governors of France are mostly held by generals, and how could a lieutenant colonel hold the post of governor.

"That's right! It's the Governor!" Jerome Bonaparte replied affirmatively to Jerome Patterson, "Although your rank is only Lieutenant Colonel, it is still possible to be the Governor of a small region!

After serving as the governor, you can lead the soldiers you accept to be a trumpet monarch there!

As long as you don't provoke conflicts with big powers, then the French Empire will give you enough freedom!

You can do whatever you want! "

Jerome Bonaparte's very seductive speech successfully aroused Jerome Paterson's desire for adventure, he hurriedly asked Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, are you going to appoint me as a The governor of which region!"

"Look at this first!" Jerome Bonaparte handed the telegram to Jerome Patterson.

Jerome Paterson looked at the contents of the telegram. The telegram was a telegram sent by Troche, commander of the Lyon military district.

[PS: After Trosch returned to Paris, he was appointed commander of the Italian Front by Jerome Bonaparte. 】

The telegram stated that Jerome Bonaparte had all the 10,000 Croatian laborers trained by him have been trained for half a year.

Now basically every worker can be called a qualified militia soldier.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Jerome Paterson looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

"These Croatian laborers... No, it should be said that these members of the French Foreign Legion are your original capital!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to Jerome Paterson: "I will appoint you as the governor of Gabon! When the time comes, you will be able to lead the expansion of these Croatian laborers when you arrive in Gabon!

I will equip you with the best equipment so that you can suppress the kingdoms in the interior of Africa with absolute firepower!

You just need to expand the territory of the Gabon region by any means, and you can ignore the rest! "

"What should I do if I meet people from other countries?" Jerome Paterson asked again.

"If it is a regular armed force, then defeat them! If it is some private armed force..." Jerome Bonaparte said murderously to Jerome Paterson: "Then kill it!"

"I understand!" Jerome Paterson nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your goal is to expand your territory as far as possible toward central Africa!" Jerome Bonaparte urged again, "For those indigenous chiefs, you can use deceit to force them to sign an agreement!"

"Can this really work?" Jerome Paterson couldn't help but ask.

"It really doesn't work for the natives, but for those other countries that want to compete with us for land! Black and white agreements can stop their mouths!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled slyly at Jerome Part. Sundao.

That's when the Mausers finally figured out the problem.
