Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Moreover, can the primer be made into a custom pack, as long as it is inserted one by one, instead of directly taking a pot or pouring something from the muzzle of the gun.

In fact, after having an idea, the rest is simple. The researchers of Datang have already upgraded the artillery several times.

After getting this idea, they immediately applied it to artillery. After all, they are relatively more familiar with artillery, and the larger the application scene, the more handy they are. Instead, they have a bit of a headache when it comes to rifles.

After all, everyone knows that the smaller something is, the more troublesome it is to transform it.

But fortunately, the rifle was successfully developed in the end. If the whole gun and the three-edged bayonet installed in the front are added, the length is close to 1.8 meters, but the quality is not to be said. As long as the production process is settled and reasonable production arrangements are made Can be produced on a large scale.

Of course, even if a lot of wooden materials are used, the cost of the whole gun will not be cheap. After all, metal is very expensive these days, especially many parts of this gun require high-strength steel. It's even more expensive.

It is precisely because of this that both Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo are actually worried about whether the treasury can afford to refit all the troops.

You must know that Zhang Nuo said it very clearly, the effect of this new type of weapon is naturally nothing to say, with this thing, everyone can be compared to an archer who has practiced for many years after half a year of training. And it is more durable than archers.

That's right, archers are really inferior to riflemen in terms of durability. After all, riflemen can continue to shoot as long as they have ammunition, at least a few hundred rounds, but archers, even if they have the strongest arms, After shooting dozens of arrows, the arm has to rest, otherwise, neither the strength nor the accuracy can be guaranteed.

Of course, if the marksmanship of a rifleman is to be comparable to that of a true archer, he must actually hold the bullets and feed them out slowly.

So there is a problem here. Can Datang's treasury really bear so much training expenses?

This is what Li Shimin is worried about. This is a big pot, and after it is really carried on his shoulders, it cannot be unloaded.

However, the benefits here are also huge. Not to mention anything else, but after reforming the military system and improving the command system, first of all, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be at least many times higher than it is now.

After all, one is an old soldier who brought his own armor to the battlefield, and the other is a new type of infantry who has been specially trained to kill the enemy after the national conscription. There is no comparison between the two.

Whether it is equipment, supplies, or training, once the military reform is carried out, everything will rush towards the newly formed troops, in order to reorganize the troops in place in the shortest possible time.

Secondly, the second advantage is that the entire command system will be rebuilt. There are some things that cannot be said clearly. One is that the military power of the generals will be further reduced. Everyone will know that you are receiving the military salary from Li Shimin. Yes, you have to work for Lao Li. After all the troops have been trained and equipped to the same standard, the next step is to adjust the generals from time to time.

Maybe you were still blowing wind and eating sand in the north two years ago, maybe after two years you went to the south to be chased by the sun, but this kind of transfer is because all the troops are trained in the same way, so there is no need to worry about combat power. The problem.

At the same time, generals will be adjusted, and soldiers will be adjusted as much as possible when they enlist. Only a very small number of people can join the army nearby, and more are transferred to other places to start their military careers.

With these two items, there was a qualitative improvement in Li Shimin's control over military power.

Not to mention, there is another big advantage, that is, to improve the control of the entire country. You must know that at present, many places belong to Datang in name, but in fact they are just a name, but there are troops It's different now, the deterrence alone is not comparable to ordinary yamen.

And after someone in the family joins the army, for the local people, there will be an extra sense of belonging to Datang, right?This benefit is great!

Chapter 740 Forming an Air Force?

Zhang Nuo understands Li Shimin's hesitation, but he won't say anything more. Anyway, I'll analyze the good and bad for you. In the end, whether you agree to do it or not is up to you. Zhang Nuo will never run away pretending to be smart Make a decision for Li Shimin.

If he really did that, maybe after one or two times, the friendship between Li Shimin and him would deteriorate. After all, who is the emperor, who doesn't have any taboos in his heart?

Moreover, after Zhang Nuo made a suggestion and gave an analysis, he felt that he had already fulfilled the responsibility of being a prince of the Tang Dynasty. thing.

Moreover, even if Li Shimin has already made a decision, it can't be done in a day or two. To put it bluntly, the entire domestic army can be transferred to the new military system within half a year and a year, and stability can be guaranteed. Zhang Nuo had to admire people like Li Shimin and Changsun Huhu, they were really capable.

Li Shimin also knew about the military system at this time, and Zhang Nuo would not say anything more, so he talked about another matter with a smile,

"Brother, don't worry, the military reform is definitely going to happen, let's not talk about anything else, just say that there are so many places to be conquered in the future, so many good things we have to move back home, all of which require people to work! "

"However, my brother, I think it may not be enough to just change the army to what you said, what do you think?"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback by what Li Shimin said. What does this mean?Is Lao Li planning to get the Second Artillery or an aircraft carrier?There is no such condition!

Seeing Zhang Nuo's bewildered look, Li Shimin knew that his smug and unspeakable method hadn't worked. He sighed lightly and said slowly,

"Brother, what I mean is, we have the navy and the army, so why can't we form an air force? You must know that the airship is obviously very useful, whether it is transporting troops or cargo, it is simply a magic weapon!"

"If we have a hundred of these airships, we can transport thousands of soldiers and supplies thousands of miles away at one time. This is more useful than any cavalry!"

"Moreover, when the sergeants get off the airship and start fighting, the airship can continue to carry out reconnaissance and even bombing. It will definitely be able to deal with the enemy in the shortest possible time!"

Thinking about it, Li Shimin thought about it for a day or two. Not only did he explain it in detail, but he also had some ideas. At least Zhang Nuo felt that this way of doing things looks like the paratroopers of later generations. .

Aircraft quickly deliver troops and supplies, and then the aircraft conducts air reconnaissance and air fire support to cooperate with ground attacks to capture enemy positions.

This nima is simply a classic routine of airborne combat and air-ground coordination in the later generations. Lao Li can do it, and he has figured it out.

I have to say that Li Shimin is really good at observing words and expressions. He knew what Zhang Nuo was thinking when he saw Zhang Nuo's face.

"How about it, do you admire me? Haha, you know, if it's other things, I might not be as good as you, but for things like war, that's my housekeeping skill. I have been doing it since I was a few years old. I’m reading military books, and I’ve already gone to the battlefield to kill enemies when I was ten years old!”

"So, when your airship came out, especially after the two battles between Turks and Tubo, I was thinking about how to use this big guy in the future!"

"You don't know, I can make do with everything else, but only in the matter of war, I don't want to make do with it, I want the best!"

Zhang Nuo smiled wryly when he heard that Li Shimin called himself "Zhen" in front of him. Li Shimin was not using his status as emperor to suppress him, but wanted to show how much he valued this matter and hoped to get Zhang Nuo's support.

But Zhang Nuo felt a headache just thinking about it casually!

The reason why airships have not been used on a large scale in later generations is that apart from the rapid development of the aircraft manufacturing industry, the most important reason is that the safety is really not good enough.

It's not just one or two problems, it's true that there are all kinds of problems, even if you are careful and careful, maybe a little negligence or some natural factors will lead to disasters.

If it's just that the airship is damaged, it doesn't really matter. Money, after a certain level, is really a number. Anyway, there is only so much you can spend and invest.

The airship is expensive to say the least, but when it is produced in large quantities, it is not so scary, at least within the acceptable range, but what if there is a problem with the airship and people?

One time is not afraid of two times, but if the airship is equipped with large-scale equipment, the probability of problems will increase linearly.

If there is a problem, it is not a problem of one or two people, it may be a tragedy involving hundreds of people.

Zhang Nuo didn't hide it, and directly told Li Shimin his thoughts and concerns, but Li Shimin waved his hand very proudly,
