The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century

Paula: "Can Ruger produce the Kurt semi-automatic pistol?"

Listening to Paula's question, Zelen, who had stayed in Binam City for four days, entertained groups of people one after another in the hotel, completed various comfort tasks, and constantly reassured everyone, nodded.

Zelen: "But I have a request. You can only produce it under the authorization of the Lymington Arms Company under my name."

Paula: "Isn't this just us paying for the OEM production rights? I am your queen after all..."

Zelen: "I'm short of money."

Upon hearing this, Paula looked helpless.

Because she knew that as a decentralized emperor, Zelen's own property was completely separated from the treasury. So now Zelen is not only a pauper who invests money in the production of ordnance, so that all the soldiers of the Krorod Empire can use weapons and equipment with his mark, but he is also a person who often needs to seize or make weapons and equipment himself to ensure that Warriors who protect the subjects of the Empire from invasion.

After all, the guy who poses the biggest threat to the Crurod Empire so far - Arisoko, is the only one in the country who can completely avoid being afraid of its magical attacks, especially its sudden energy shock waves that tear apart everything around it. . Therefore, it is completely self-evident how heavy the burden on him is.

What's more, the weapons and equipment left by the Pig-Headed Man are currently in the research room of the Lymington Arms Company, and are being jointly studied by scientists from the empire. Even he probably doesn't know how much research and development funds are needed here.

Paula: "Okay. But is your Kurt semi-automatic pistol the equipment of our Rimai people in the past?"

Zelen: "It's better to have equipment than nothing. Besides, do we have a choice now? Even if this pistol is our equipment."

When it comes to this, Zelen himself is very helpless. As Paula said, the Kurt semi-automatic pistol is one of the weapons and equipment produced by the Crurod Empire itself. However, the original version of Kurt's semi-automatic pistol had a magazine that could only hold 7 rounds of 11×24 mm pistol ammunition, and the ammunition capacity was too small. If it weren't for some nostalgic elements in the later Krurod Empire, this pistol would still be in the collection. Collecting, and even committing various criminal acts, it is estimated that the museum of the Krorod Empire will not have relevant collections for display.

Because the empire was in a prosperous period at that time, the whole society was filled with the trend of loving the new and hating the old. Because the Cotter semi-automatic pistol had a competitor with a 14-round magazine, it was not long before it was submerged in the molten steel of the steel plant.

However, with the subsequent generation of large-capacity, no-exposed hammers that caused snag problems, and the rise of self-loading pistols that adopted the firing pin translational firing principle, the Cotter semi-automatic pistol was the first semi-automatic pistol in the history of the Cruelder Empire. He has never served in the military and police force of the Crurod Empire for too long. Especially since the performance of its replacement was not bad, and no one even asked about the Cotter semi-automatic pistol.

For this reason, the Krorod Empire, which is now at the end of the century when foreign enemies invade and monsters are rampant, does not have many options. Especially after the Pa-O Republic lost two-thirds of its territory, resulting in the current soldiers losing a lot of materials and equipment, and even the soldiers themselves, using what can be used is definitely his current idea.

And now he has seized the Kurt semi-automatic pistol from the body of some unknown black marketeer whose identity or place he came from, or who was hiding at some point. It is a self-defense weapon that uses a 14-round magazine. , plus its total length of 221 mm, barrel length of 128 mm, and total weight of 1.2 kg with an empty magazine. It adopts the classic barrel recoil automatic principle and barrel offset locking, even if the effective range is only 25 meters, even It is only 15 meters, and the muzzle velocity has been measured to be only 270 meters per second.

However, his soldiers need Cotter, not a revolver that is easy to fool around with, easily exceeds the weight, and has too little ammunition capacity. Therefore, he allowed Lymington Arms Company to carry out the first batch of production, and just in case, also allowed Ruger Company to carry out OEM production.

Paula: "Zeren? Zeren?"

Zelen: "What...is something wrong?"

Paula: "Are you thinking about how to get all the soldiers of the Crurod Empire to use the weapons and equipment you specified?"

Zelen: "That's right. Don't you think our country's military weapons and equipment are quite complicated?"

Paula: "Well... most of them are not the original regular army soldiers. They were recruited from militiamen from various places to supplement their numbers."

Zelen: "So the militia forces in various cities and towns in our country all use their own local weapons and equipment instead of using unified standards?"

Paula: "Don't you know this? There is no state-owned arsenal in our country that produces all types of weapons and equipment. We all rely on private arsenals in various places to provide weapons and equipment for surrounding towns."

Zelen: "No! This will be very chaotic. If the logistics are not unified and lead to supply problems for the weapons and equipment in the hands of the soldiers, then it will be a joke with the lives of the soldiers. In this way, I can give other political matters to the Congress. Decided, regarding weapons and equipment, I will write a list to avoid bigger problems."

Paula: "Ah? Aren't you making us, the owners of private arsenals, uncomfortable?"

Zelen: "The current environment is not suitable for you to make a fortune. Even if you want to make a fortune, you have to earn foreign exchange from other countries. So, give me the product information you have here, and I will make a list."

Paula: "Uh..."

Zelen: "Give it to me."

Paula: "Yes."

Compared to Paula's reluctance, Zelen realized that from the beginning of his country's establishment, the policy of allowing various places to build their own arsenals was definitely not a good thing.

Especially under the current circumstances, Zelen needs a unified standard, a firearms list that can make military logistics simpler.

Otherwise, these soldiers who come from different militia units and then enter the new unit with the firearms they have carried since the militia period will have logistical problems after fighting...

Although in the past, Ruger was the first company to formulate various ordnance standards for the Krurod Empire; please note that this standard is fundamentally and completely in favor of Ruger, not completely It exists to meet the requirements of the military and police.

Therefore, in actual operation, Ruger's standards have led to Ruger's products seizing the military and police equipment market for many years. As a result, not surprisingly, Ruger sometimes produces shoddy products, but the military and police departments have no other choice.

Although Ruger was later aware of the grievances among the military and police and related legal accusations against Ruger, it forced Ruger not to continue to openly enjoy the huge profits brought by the monopoly business; but this does not mean that Ruger Ge Company truly gives up the market and lets everyone share the benefits. Some of the confrontation and cooperation behind the scenes are tacitly understood by everyone.

In short, as far as the current situation is concerned, Zelen hopes that the empire's army can hold the unified thunder blast assault rifle step by step. It's just that the current major arsenals are limited by raw materials and have seriously insufficient production capacity to produce a large number of thunder blast assault rifles.

Therefore, on the one hand, he is writing a list, and on the other hand, he is writing another proposal.

Toala Island needs to be developed with emphasis, and several large steel mills and arsenals from the Krorod Empire must be established here to ensure that the soldiers will not be without a sufficient number of weapons and equipment.

At the same time, there must be a very close connection between Boni Island and Toala Island, and Toala Island must be fed with Boni Island’s food, and Toala Island’s industrial products must be used to ensure the security of Boni Island and even the Crurod Empire. .

Not to mention Semeru Island, he needed to regain it. This island with an area of ​​140,000 square kilometers contains coffee, tea, rubber, sugar cane, coconut, coal, manganese, iron, gold, silver, phosphorus, sulfur, iodine, rice, corn, tea, peanuts, sucrose, and kapok. , quinine, teak and other important resources...
