Make France Great Again

Chapter 728 Mauser breech-loading gun one.zero

"Get...get rich????"

William Parkin, who had not yet come to his senses, looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in confusion. He did not understand what effect his failed experiment could have.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte explained to William Parkin: "Most of the dyes we use now are natural dyes. Not only are they expensive, but their types are also rare!

First of all, the price of the dye you make is lower than that of natural dyes. The reduction of dyes not only means the reduction of production costs, but also means that the dye you make will be more popular in the market.

Every product that is favored by the market has little prospect.

So Mr. Parkin, can you sell me this technology! "

"Sell?" Parkin looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in surprise. In his opinion, aniline purple came from a laboratory and should belong to the laboratory.

"This is something that belongs to you, of course we have to discuss it with you!" Jérôme Bonaparte said in a persuasive manner: "What do you think of 100,000 francs plus 10%... no, 15% of the dye company's equity? "

"I..." William Henry Parkin looked at Jerome Bonaparte with dull eyes.

For Parkin, who was born in a middle-class family, it would take the whole family about five years of work to save 100,000 francs, not to mention 15% of the equity of a fuel company.

Parkin believed that the company opened by the emperor would not be a small company.

Not satisfied? Jérôme Bonaparte thought to himself.

"150,000 francs... plus 17% of the shares!" Jérôme Bonaparte once again quoted a brand new price.

Now not only Parkin, but everyone including Louis Pasteur was surprised by Jérôme Bonaparte's work.

"These count as my investment in you!" Jérôme Bonaparte patted Parkin on the shoulder, "I can assure you that after you study for a bachelor's degree in chemistry at Ecole Polytechnique, you will be endowed with With the title of professor, the newly established dye company will also let you serve as the chief consultant."

Faced with such generous conditions from Jérôme Bonaparte. Parkin immediately chose to surrender: "I do!"

"Very high!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Parkin with a kind face: "Mr. Parkin, I will let Basilio sign an agreement with you!"

"Your Majesty, can I still continue to work here?" Parkin asked Jerome Bonaparte nervously.

"Of course! Mr. Parkin!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Parkin, and then changed the subject and said to Parkin: "But, Mr. Parkin! I don't think your future lies in artificial quinine. on, but on artificial dyes!

I believe in your talent! "

"Your Majesty, I still want to give it a try!" Parkin said to Jerome Bonaparte with a firm look.

Although he knew that he might be better at making a difference in artificial dyes, he was still unwilling to leave the path of artificial quinine.

It seems that he was sent to Louis Pasteur's laboratory by Principal Hoffman for "further study" because he had the idea of ​​treating malaria.

"Yes!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded in agreement with Parkin's request.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and Louis Pasteur talked for a while, and Jerome Bonaparte and others left the Umbrella Research Institute under the escort of Louis Pasteur.

Walking on the road, Vernia curiously asked Jérôme Bonaparte why he wanted to do business with Parkin. He could obviously snatch the aniline purple directly from Parkin's hand.

"Vilnia, we must respect the results of other scientific research!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Wilnia, "Blindly taking advantage of others is not what smart people should do!"

"But he works in the institute!" Vernia responded confidently to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Working in the institute can take away all the fruits of other people's labor?" Jérôme Bonaparte thought of some nonsense things in his previous life and said with an angry smile, "You have to remember that the most precious things in the world are Not the research results, but the people who achieved the research results.”

Later, Jerome Bonaparte made a pun: "The most precious thing in the 19th century is people!"

"How precious are people!" Wilnia responded disdainfully: "I think we have too many people now!"

"Not much! Not much, not much at all!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said: "I wish that the current population of France could be equal to that of Russia! If the population continues like this, it will be a bit dangerous. !”

"Danger? What's the danger! The real danger is when there are many people!" Vernia said to Jerome Bonaparte.

“The dangers of having too few people!”

Jerome Bonaparte thought of France's population of 39.6 million before World War I, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

If the French population cannot be equalized with the German population, then the only way is to make the German population equal to the French population.

Only by completely defeating Germany can the security of France be truly guaranteed.

"You will know when the time comes!" Jérôme Bonaparte said lightly, and then stopped at the door of the Mauser Gun Manufacturing Company, "Go in!"

After Jérôme Bonaparte and Vernia entered the interior of the Mauser Company (actually a larger courtyard), old Mauser and Chasepo appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, when did you return to Paris?" Old Mauser asked the same question as Louis Pasteur.

"I just came back!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Old Mauser, and then asked Old Mauser: "Where is the research progress of the new rifle?"

"Your Majesty, with the unremitting efforts of our team, the new rifle has reached the first round of testing!" Old Mauser replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"So fast!" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Old Mauser solemnly. He didn't believe that Old Mauser had made the classic rifle so quickly: "Has the rifle been made now? Show me quickly. !”

"Your Majesty, can you wait until the test results come out?" Old Mauser was a little worried that the bolt-action rifle he made would not meet Jérôme Bonaparte's wishes.

"Why do we have to wait until the test results come out?" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to the old Mauser, "Where is the rifle? I can just test it myself!"

At the request of Jérôme Bonaparte, the old Mauser had no choice but to order his son to hand the rifle that had been completed but not yet tested into the hands of Jérôme Bonaparte.

Judging from the style of the entire rifle, the rifle involved by Old Mauser still has a hint of the Dreiser striker gun (no way, the only breech-loading gun on the market that is barely successful is the Dreiser striker gun. Whether it is the historical Chaisepo rifle or the Mauser 1871 rifle, they are all more or less influenced by Dreiser)

However, there are obviously more Mauser elements in the rifle.

"Your Majesty, we have improved the firing pin according to your instructions so that the firing pin can be hung up when the hanging is pulled back..." The old Mauser pointed at the Mauser rifle and praised Jérôme Bonaparte word by word. explained.

After the old Mauser finished explaining, Jérôme Bonaparte responded to the old Mauser: "Mr. Mauser, we'd better go to the field and do some actual experiments. Whether it's a mule or a horse, it has to be taken out for a walk. Take a walk!”

"Yes!" Old Mauser nodded and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Then, Old Mauser, Xia Sebo, and a group of engineers from the Mauser Firearms Factory followed Jerome Bonaparte and others to the shooting range.

"By the way, what's the range of your rifle?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Old Mauser.

"This still needs to be tested!" Old Mauser responded awkwardly, and then added: "However, it must have a farther range than the Dreiser rifle!"

"Then..." Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a while and then said to Old Mauser: "Let's go 200 meters first and give it a try!"

Jerome Bonaparte first stood in front of the target, and then kept retreating backwards. When he was about 200 meters away from the target, Jerome Bonaparte stopped and took aim with his gun.

Judging from the weight of the gun, the "Mauser breech-loading gun" is lighter than the Dresser rifle.

(Actually, this is Jérôme Bonaparte’s illusion. The weight of the entire gun body is only one kilogram different from that of Dreiser)

"Bullet!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand and said to the old Mauser beside him.

Old Mauser hurriedly handed Jérôme Bonaparte a fixed ammunition wrapped in oil paper.

Looking at the huge bullet in his hand, Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned for a moment, and then asked old Mauser why he didn't use brass bullets.

Old Mauser told Jérôme Bonaparte that he had sent people to get brass bullets, and asked Jerome Bonaparte to use paper shell bullets for test firing first.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then rotated and pulled back, opening the Mauser breech-loading gun (while rotating and pulling, Jerome Bonaparte clearly heard the sound of the firing pin being caught on something) ), and then stuff the paper bag of fixed ammunition into it.

When Jérôme Bonaparte loaded the paper-packed fixed-load ammunition inside, he discovered that there was a ring of rubber on the firing pin, which should have been specially added to prevent air leakage.

After all, paper-wrapped fixed-load bullets are different from brass bullets in that the former produce far more smoke than the latter.

Only after smokeless gunpowder and brass bullets are designed, will the gap between breech-loading guns and front-loading guns become as big as heaven and earth.

Jérôme Bonaparte inserted the paper-wrapped fixed-loading ammunition into the magazine and pulled back the breechloader again, then aimed at the target in the distance and pulled the trigger.

Just a "boom" sound was heard, a slight vibration came from the Mauser breech-loader, and a large amount of smoke floated out.

At the same time, there was an extra bullet hole in the target in the distance.
