And Duncan immediately spoke, "Governor, I also hope to produce more flintlock rifles. The result of the test is that a flintlock rifle may not change the situation, but facing a commander of the same level as me, I can easily defeat an infantry battalion equipped with a flintlock rifle with a flintlock rifle!"
This is the firepower revolution brought by the flintlock rifle. Although such a firepower revolution in Liu Peng's eyes cannot be called a revolution, it is just a change.
However, when it comes to the new battlefield revolution brought by the flintlock rifle, the officers present were very excited. Jiang Zongyun, who represented various troops there to learn to use and was preparing to receive equipment, had already asked: "Governor, we must apply for a battalion of flintlock rifle first. We can't wait until the teaching battalion and the Changfeng Brigade have been replaced. Let's change the clothes slowly, at least we must give us a battalion first!"
He had no objection to the first place to change the flintlock rifle in the teaching battalion. After all, Duncan's teaching battalion was an experimental unit of the Haibei Army. No matter what new weapons, new tactics, or new organization of the Haibei Army, they were experimenting in the teaching battalion, and then slowly promoted the entire army.
However, if all troops of the entire army have to wait until the Changfeng Brigade has all been replaced before changing their flintlock rifles, then his water patrol team will not know when they will have to wait for the change.
At least with the current output of the flintlock rifle of the Haibei Army, it takes up all the output of a whole year or even two years just to change the Changfeng Brigade. It also takes several years to change the other troops. However, the nature of the water patrol team is quite special and it will take at least a few years. Maybe after ten years, there will be no need to start changing the dress.
However, seeing such a sharp firearm, Jiang Zongyun and the Water Patrol Team felt that they could not wait for a few years, and after changing into a flintlock rifle, the combat effectiveness of the troops could be improved by a straight pole. As soon as he said this, the head of the Haibei Army next to him expressed his personal opinions: "Well, everyone must be prepared to change into a flintlock rifle, and we also need at least a flintlock rifle battalion!"
"Even if there is no battalion, there must be a company. We must give time to familiarize ourselves with the flintlock rifle and practice it well! Otherwise, we will not know how to use the equipment after it is sent!"
"Yes! You still know nothing about the flintlock rifle when you can't change your clothes!"
"We also need a battalion of flintlocks!"
Anyway, everyone has the same opinion. The teaching camp occupied all the production capacity of the flintlock rifle for a period of time. Everyone can turn a blind eye and vaguely pass it. However, Gu Shanhe and Changfeng Brigade want to monopolize the production capacity of the flintlock rifle, and everyone has to grab a piece of meat from Changfeng Brigade.
Who said that Gu Shanhe happened to be out of the audience today? So everyone protested one after another, and Liu Peng did not expect that everyone's enthusiasm for changing into flintlock rifles was so strong.
He originally thought that there would be some conservatives in the army who love flint guns. You should know that the full promotion of flintlock guns in Europe lasted for almost a hundred years, and I don’t know how many times it faced the challenges of conservatives.
But now the opinions of these officials in Haibei Town are determined to throw the clamp gun completely into the garbage dump. However, Liu Peng still couldn't change so many flintlock guns. He could only smile at Demons: "Did you see it? Everyone is looking forward to producing a large number of flintlock guns, so that's it..."
Liu Peng has made a specific idea: "The flintlock rifle produced within these three months will be handed over to the teaching battalion and Changfeng Brigade for trial and replacement. The flintlock rifle produced in three months will be first tried to make each unit have a flintlock rifle company. Everyone should keep it well and don't leak out. This is our number one killer weapon in the next ten years!"
Although Haibei Town has rebuilt the gun production system around flintlock rifles, if the enemy in Haibei Town can get a sample of a flintlock rifle and is willing to work hard, they will probably still produce a small number of flintlock rifles of unstable quality and pose a great threat to overseas troops.
Therefore, Liu Peng's view is that if the flintlock rifle does not appear, it will definitely give a complete and fatal blow to the enemy in Haibei Town.
The Haibei Town Master, including Jiang Zongyun, was satisfied that he could get a company of flintlock rifles in advance.
They also knew that if the Changfeng Regiment had not been the first to expand into a mixed brigade in the entire army some time ago, and the other troops in Haibei Town had not yet begun to expand, and even the expansion plan had not been implemented, if Liu Peng had to find a way to appease them, they would not even get this flintlock rifle.
But everyone soon thought of another key question, that is, when will the expansion of Changfeng Travel come to an end.
During the two battles of Haigai, although Haibei Town suffered heavy blows to Jiannu one after another, the senior management of Neihaibei Town, including Liu Peng, agreed that the establishment system of Haibei Town in the past with regiments as combat units or even strategic units was a bit unsuitable for the changes in the new situation.
In the past, the Haibei Army faced Jiannu or other enemies with limited military strength or limited combat power. The Haibei Army could solve the problem by concentrating a few infantry regiments to attack fiercely. However, facing Nurhaci's personal expedition, the Haibei Army felt embarrassed even if it dispatched more than a dozen infantry regiments. Moreover, the infantry regiments faced Jiannu's main attack alone and often had an unbearable momentum.
Under the form of Jiannu's throng, the organizational forces and weapons of the infantry regiment seemed relatively small, and often they could not compete with Jiannu's fierce attack head-on. Once the infantry regiment was trapped, it was an extremely long time for the Supreme Command to discover the crisis and dispatch troops to support it.
Especially after several new infantry regiments and corps were built, the organizational strength of the infantry regiments had dropped significantly, and the standard number of infantry companies in the Haibei Army had changed from a huge 100 to a more flexible eighty. Under this form, the Haibei Army had to form new combat units and strategic units.
The Changfeng Brigade came into being under this situation, which can be said to be another gorgeous transformation of the number one main force of the Haibei Army.
However, the change in the organization is not just a simple change of number. Not only did I encounter many complex problems that I didn’t expect in the past during the expansion, but I also caught up with the critical moment of changing from a combroach gun to a flintlock gun. As a result, this expansion time was longer than I imagined. However, everyone knows how terrifying it would be if the Changfeng Brigade had been replaced on the battlefield.
However, since the Changfeng Brigade has been changed from a regiment to a brigade and the flintlock rifle was replaced, and the chief officers of the Haibei Army also believed that they had the same qualifications, so what they wanted was not just a company of flintlock rifle equipment, and Liu Peng could see the flames in their eyes.
With the Changfeng Brigade, the demonstration unit, the next adaptation was a natural thing, but Liu Peng had to continue to remind these officers of the Haibei Army: "How do you use this batch of flintlock rifles? It is related to the next round of military reform!"
What is the specific specifics of the next round of military reform? Although there are many details, what Liu Peng refers to is that everyone can be promoted from the regiment commander to the brigade commander. This is the most concerned issue for these Haibei Army chief officers. Li Xiuwei from there has asked: "It's a pity that there will be no wars during this period, otherwise we will help the governor take down Gaizhou City, and the military reform will be natural..."
Liu Peng immediately replied: "Of course, military reform also requires consideration of military achievements and comprehensive considerations, but we must first use this batch of flintlock rifles so that I can consider who to give priority to the expansion of the staffing and enriching equipment. I am now determined to let the Changfeng Brigade return to Fuzhou. I was originally planning to let the Changfeng Brigade transform into all flintlocks and then return to the state. Everyone should cherish the opportunity!"
The reason why Changfeng Brigade returned to the Fuzhou front is that the production of only 300 flintlocks per month is too low, and Changfeng Brigade is the number one strategic main force of the Haibei Army, which has led to a dilemma in which the front line of human-equipped equipment lacks the main force of the main force.
Therefore, Liu Peng made up his mind that the Changfeng Brigade would not target the full flintlock rifle for the time being, and should complete the expansion of the system as soon as possible and return to the front line of Fuzhou to fight against Jiannu. However, Liu Peng would not tell the officers of the Haibei Army these little thoughts, but just told them that they would take special care of them on this issue.
And this news obviously made them very satisfied. Li Xiuwei said immediately: "Governor, then we will try the gun too! This gun is indeed good!"
Whether he or other officers in Haibei Town, they all started from the army, and everything started from practicality. They knew the advantages and disadvantages of a rifle as soon as they started. Therefore, he felt that the flintlock rifle was a general trend and did not mean to be nostalgic for the mesh.
The reason why they want to try this new flintlock rifle is to take the lead in the next round of military reform competition. Whoever uses this flintlock rifle company in their hands will be the first to expand the system and realize the full flintlock rifle of the troops...
Liu Peng just nodded, and there were bursts of bright and soft voices over there and said, "Brother Governor, I want to go with you to test the gun! This seems very fun!"
"Yes! It looks really interesting!"
"Brother Governor, please let me give it a try!"
When Liu Peng heard this bright and soft voice, he knew that the two noble girls of Korqin had arrived, while Zhe Wan'er followed the two girls with an apology and said, "Husband, they were trying to come over. I really couldn't bother them, so I took them over!"
However, in addition to apologizing, Zhe Wan'er's face also had many joyful meanings. She could see that Liu Peng really liked these two girls with sweet smiles. Her hard work was not in vain.
