Make France Great Again - Chapter 899

Minister Wayan looked at the panting cuirassiers with an embarrassed expression, wishing that the cuirassiers could just disappear in front of him.

After running such a short distance, the cuirassiers were so tired.

If you really go to the battlefield, I am afraid that you will be exhausted before you reach the battle site!

Fortunately, this time the test is about whether the armor can withstand the attack of the Mauser rifle, otherwise it will be a shame!

At this moment, Minister Wayan has not realized that the main purpose of this test is not to test whether the armor can withstand the rifle, but to test whether the cavalry can be used as the main force to fight against.

Therefore, the cavalry must ensure flexible mobility while resisting Mauser bullets.

Only then will the cavalry have the opportunity to surround the infantry.

However, cavalry that could satisfy both of these points simply did not exist in the mid-19th century.

Even the German military **** next door would not be able to do this.

The “cavalry” that can meet the defense and maneuverability is only the tanks in the First World War more than 60 years later.

Today, Minister Wayan, who still has his mind on victory and defeat, still hopes to use this special armor to teach Niel a lesson.

“Minister Wayan, could you please put your armor on the target!” Chief Niel said to Minister Wayan solemnly.

“Okay!” Minister Wayan nodded when he saw this, and then stretched out his hand to look at the cuirassiers.

Seeing this, the cuirassier carefully placed the cuirass in front of Minister Wayan. When Minister Wayan picked up the cuirass, his face was slightly grim, and now he clearly felt the weight of the cuirass.

It’s really not easy for a cuirassier to wear this outfit to the battlefield!

Minister Wayan couldn’t help but sighed in his heart, and then he reached the target step by step with the breastplate in his hands, and put the armor on the target.

When everything was ready, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Basilio to go to the Mauser gun factory and take a rifle and a brass bullet from him.

After Basilio heard it, he immediately turned around and went.

After a while, Basilio arrived in front of Jerome Bonaparte with his rifle on his back.

“Your Majesty, this is a Mauser rifle!” Basilio handed the Mauser rifle to Jerome Bonaparte, and then handed over the brass bullet as well.

With a Mauser rifle in one hand and a brass bullet in the other, Jerome Bonaparte looked at Minister Niel and Wayan and said, “Who are you two!”

When Minister Wayan was about to move forward, Niel took the lead, stood in front of Jerome Bonaparte and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll do it!”

Jerome Bonaparte handed Niel the brass bullet and the Mauser rifle at the same time.

Niel opened the breech of the Mauser rifle and loaded the bullets, while making a suggestion to Minister Wayan: “Minister Wayan, I think we should stop comparing the two of us!”

“Beat! Why not!” Minister Wayan responded firmly to Niel.

“Since you want to compare, then I have to be…” Niel reset the pull bolt, and then aimed at the breastplate at a distance of about 200 meters.

At this moment, the breastplate became shiny and dazzling under the sunlight.

But even so, Niel was still staring at the breastplate.

After aiming his rifle for a while, Niel pulled the trigger.

With a crisp sound, the brass bullet hit the specially made breastplate of Minister Wayan.

Seeing this, Minister Wayan hurried to the target on which the armor was hanging. He glanced at the armor. At this moment, there was only a circular groove made by a brass bullet on the armor, and the armor itself had not been penetrated.

“The armor has not been penetrated!” Minister Wayan said excitedly to Nier and Jerome Bonaparte as he ran to Nier.

Jerome Bonaparte and Niel also ran to the armor, carefully looking at the damage to the armor.

After a long period of time, Jerome Bonaparte said to Nier: “The winner of this competition is your Chief of Staff Nier!”

Minister Wayan’s face showed a look of astonishment, and then he excitedly pointed to the armor and asked, “Your Majesty, the armor has not been penetrated frontally!”

“I know!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Wayan in a calm tone.

“Then why is the winner Niel!” Minister Wayan asked a little unconvinced.

“Minister Wayan, think carefully about the role of cavalry?” Jerome Bonaparte reprimanded Wayan loudly.

Minister Wayan instantly realized the problem. He lowered his head and replied a little disappointedly: “I lost!”

Then he raised his head again and exhaled, with an open-minded smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Nier, “Chief of the General Staff Nier, you are right!

The cavalry is no longer able to function on the frontal battlefield. ”

Speaking of this, Wayan paused, shook his head and mumbled to himself: “No! Don’t talk about the frontal battlefield, even if the cavalry is only used for flanking attacks, it is not enough!

The role of cavalry is only reconnaissance! ”

“Minister Wayan, it’s not like you don’t understand these truths, why is it necessary!” Jerome Bonaparte sighed and responded to Minister Wayan, “It is no longer in the First Empire period, our rifles are in In the past few decades, the development has far exceeded the previous one.

During the First Empire, our dragoons, lancers, and heavy-armoured cavalry were able to flank the enemy with the flintlocks and rifles of the enemy, thereby annihilating the opponent’s living force!

And now our Migne rifle is better than all the previous front-loaded guns, whether it is range accuracy or shooting distance is not in the same grade, the possibility of cavalry wanting to win has become extraordinarily difficult.

Mauser rifles are even more outstanding. Their shooting accuracy, shooting speed and shooting angle are far more powerful than the Miner rifle, and the shooting distance is exactly the same as the Miner rifle.

Therefore, it is impossible to study the First Empire period!

The French cavalry must undergo a thorough reform, and we must throw away all armor and go into battle light!

Only in this way can the role of cavalry be better played! ”

The French Empire in history wasted too much resources on the cavalry. They replaced the armor and stomach under the instruction of the Minister of War, Niel, and replaced them with more protective equipment. They hoped to use this method to enhance their defense capabilities. Let the cavalry units have a chance to show their hands.

It turned out that during the Franco-Prussian War, the French heavy cavalry was surprised to find that the armor on their bodies could indeed save their lives, but their mobility was completely ruined.

“But! What about the cavalry officers in the army?” Minister Wayan asked Jerome Bonaparte.

“Either choose to change careers, or be transferred to another department!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Minister Wayan.

“Your Majesty, there are many nobles among the cavalry officers! Should we reconsider!” Minister Vaillant said to Jerome Bonaparte again.

“You don’t need to think about it!” Jerome Bonaparte sneered, and said decisively to Minister Wayan: “I only cut the human cavalry in half, which has already given the nobles a lot of face.

If the cavalry units are to be reduced according to my point of view, the dragoons, cuirassers and lancers also need to be eliminated altogether!

Only the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance is left in the army! ”

“No!” Minister Wayan quickly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Minister Wayan, the purpose of military reform is to improve the overall military level of our country and eliminate the shortcomings in the army!

We can’t just let it go because the shortcomings are too tricky!

The cavalry must be reorganized! “Jérôme Bonaparte said loudly to Minister Wayan, “I don’t care how much their parents are in charge or how distinguished their ancestors are, as long as they are soldiers of the French army, then they must obey the arrangements.

Either they choose to change careers, or they stay in the army!

However, there are no idlers in the army! Those who choose to stay in the army must face the test at any time…”

Minister Wayan listened quietly to Jerome Bonaparte’s speech, UU reading www. uukanshu.com After Jerome Bonaparte finished speaking, Minister Wayan said to Jerome Bonaparte: “Your Majesty, I understand!”

“Yes!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Minister Wayan: “You just understand!”

While staying at Jerome Bonaparte to talk with Minister Wayan, Xia Saibo and the others did not know when they appeared near the shooting range.

After the communication between Jerome Bonaparte and Minister Wayan came to an end for the time being, he turned his head to look at Xia Saibo and the others and said, “Why are you here! Is there something wrong over there?”

Xia Saibo and others hurriedly shook their heads, and then Xia Saibo, Paul Mauser and William Mauser came to Jerome Bonaparte.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Xia Saibo and the others again.

“Your Majesty, I…” Xia Saibo hesitated, and Paul Mauser, who was standing beside him, helped Xia Saibo to finish what he had not said, “Your Majesty, Mr. Xia Saibo has already developed as many as you need. Shotgun!”

“It was developed so soon?” Jerome Bonaparte looked at Alfonso Xia Saipo in surprise. He thought that Alfonso Xia Saipo would have to wait at least a year before he could Developed successfully.

Unexpectedly, Alfonso Xia Saibo gave him a surprise.

If Chasepold’s multi-barreled machine guns could match the performance of the Gatling machine guns, Jerome Bonaparte would have given each battalion two or three.

Although the Gatling machine gun has some flaws, if used properly, it can also become a reaper on the battlefield.

“Yes! Your Majesty!” Chassepo said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.
