Chapter 25 25 New Weapons
"This is the secret weapon I developed! It's called a revolver. It can fire six shots in a row. You don't need to perform any tedious operations in the middle. You just need to pull the trigger... It's a powerful melee pistol." Tang Mo replied.
"Turn, revolver..." Tiger muttered subconsciously, and then looked at the weapon in Tang Mo's hand. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
He wanted to take a look at this weapon, but he didn't dare to make such a request, so he froze there, not knowing how to speak.
“Hahahaha! It looked similar to him when I first saw it.” The dwarf Matthews laughed and said to Roger beside him.
Roger shrugged his shoulders. He knew that Weiss, who was standing there pretending to be sophisticated, actually looked the same when he first saw the revolver.
They were all shocked by the revolver in front of them, because this thing really subverted people's cognition in this era.
When Weiss saw this weapon, he followed Tang Mo all the time; when Matthews saw this weapon, he stayed to help without even receiving a salary... Now, it's Tiger's turn .
"Believe me, Tang's Weapons Workshop will not let you down! Our future is limitless, so I will definitely be able to do what I promise you." Tang Mo walked up to Tiger and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Here, can this thing be sold...to the Earl?" Tiger swallowed, finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked anxiously.
He didn't think about robbing, because he knew that this thing was definitely not a one-time deal, and killing the goose to get the eggs was not what he should do.
What's more, he is an upright and righteous person. Isn't the reason why he works for the Earl because the Earl is benevolent and loves the people and does things aboveboard?
“No.” Tang Mo shook his head.
"Why... why?" Tiger was stunned for a second, then became sullen the next second, staring at Tang Mo and asking.
"Because although this weapon is powerful, I have no way to mass-produce it. If I only give Lord Earl one for self-defense, I don't care, but you should know that this thing is not cheap to make." Tang Mo looked at the other person and smiled. Regret said.
“I believe you, you idiot! Do you have a word of truth in your mouth?” Tiger frowned and cursed secretly in his heart.
He thought that Tang Mo was going to ask for a high price, so he didn't believe Tang Mo's words at all. He was thinking in his mind whether he could make the decision for the earl and offer a price that Tang Mo couldn't refuse.
In fact, he also knew that in order to purchase the K1 fast gun, the earl had already spent a lot of his savings. After all, the Earl does not exploit the civilians under his rule like other lords, so the Earl's assets are not that huge.
But, but this...but this weapon is a temptation that Tiger cannot refuse. When Tiger sees this weapon, it is like a tiger seeing beef, or a eater seeing delicious food!
Before Tiger could figure out a suitable price in his mind, Tang Mo spoke first and explained to him: "It is actually not very technically difficult. In fact, we also made it by hand. But what really limits it is Yes, it’s the ignition device.”
"I am the only one who can make this ignition device by hand, so the output is very low! I can use it myself, but if I want to supply it to the army on a large scale, I can't do it yet." He said as he put a small The flash hat was handed to Tiger.
"Weapon manufacturing itself is very complicated, and it is natural that the price is high. But without ammunition, these expensive weapons become scrap metal, so now this thing can only be manufactured on a small scale for my own use." He smiled and handed the pistol to old Roger beside him.
Hearing Tang Mo's explanation, Tiger knew that he was thinking in the wrong direction. Tiger blushed a little, lowered his head and said regretfully: "I know, I can understand."
When he realized that this thing really couldn't be manufactured on a large scale, he could clearly feel that his mood was extremely low.
However, among the extremely complex emotions, there is also some slight feeling of relaxation. He breathed a sigh of relief, because he finally no longer had to make desperate decisions on behalf of the Earl.
He really didn't think about robbing anything, because his own character simply did not allow him to do so. If the earl gives an order, he may be entangled or embarrassed, but he will also obey the order, but if he is left to make his own decision, it is impossible for him to consider this aspect.
Since Tang Mo showed his trump card, he naturally had no intention of hiding this backward revolver anymore. Just listen to him continue to say to Tiger: "So, I can make a few more weapons like this, and you can send someone to send them back to the earl... But you must be careful. If this thing spreads, it may cause a disaster. …”
"What? Is it really possible?" Tiger, whose hope was rekindled, looked at Tang Mo and asked.
Tang Mo did not answer him, but continued: "I can't mass-produce it, but Cyric can. As long as they have enough craftsmen, they can imitate it. By then, the Earl's advantage will be gone! Although I don't think they can imitate the ammunition of this weapon, but there are always exceptions..."
Tiger immediately nodded and said solemnly: "I understand, I will go back to Beiling in person and tell Lord Earl everything here. Believe me, I will definitely bring back more support from Lord Earl! Including supplies, including manpower!"
In fact, he had seen too many things in Bunas in the past few days. He wrote some of them as letters and sent them to the earl, but he had no time to write many things, and he did not dare to write them easily. Write in the letter.
So he also wanted to go back to Beiling and tell the earl everything he saw with his own eyes. He feels that Northridge should work closely with Bunas to establish a stronger cooperative relationship.
Even if you just look at this young man Tang Mo, he is not mediocre. He is definitely worthy of being recruited by the earl and must not be his enemy. This is Tiger's idea, a very firm idea.
"I hope you can bring more manpower. As you can see, we need manpower here." Tang Mo knew that after Tiger returned, he would intuitively reflect the strength of Tang's weapons workshop, and the Earl would definitely pay more attention to it. Both parties cooperated, so he decided to ask the count for more.
As the saying goes, a lion opens his mouth widely. He is a businessman, so he naturally wants to get more benefits for himself.
"I can ask the earl to gather together the beggars, serfs, slaves and everyone who is willing to come here who can't afford to eat in Beiling..." Tiger thought for a while and planned to use these things in exchange for Tang Mo's hand. This new type of weapon.
In Tiger's view, this weapon must be obtained at any cost, because this weapon is the best way for soldiers to save their lives on the battlefield, and it is also a necessary guarantee for victory in this war.
As long as this war is won, Beiling can continue to prosper and earn back all the money and supplies it has consumed!
And what Tang Mo wants, or what Tang Mo cares about, are the manpower and a few supplies that Beiling can afford... in exchange for advanced weapons.
"You still need to bring tents and food! Otherwise I can't accommodate so many people." Tang Mo refused all comers. He was not even afraid that the earl would add sand to his workshop. After all, he needed something fast at this time. What he should do is to increase his own strength so that he doesn't reject anyone who comes.
Tiger nodded solemnly and solemnly promised: "Understood! I will go back with this batch of K1 guns, and then bring as many of these things as possible!"
"Very good! I have prepared enough K1 guns for you! At the same time, I will make a few such weapons and prepare some ammunition for you to send to the Earl. Presumably, with this, his safety will also be More guaranteed." Tang Mo was also very generous and gave Tiger the guarantee he wanted.
"Thank you, thank you! I will try my best to help you get enough people, tents, food... In short, I will bring back everything you want!" Tiger nodded excitedly - as long as Tang Mo is willing to cooperate, He felt that the earl would not mind providing more supplies to Tang Mo.
After Tang Mo took out this weapon, he knew that he had to provide the earl with the same weapon.
Because if Tiger knows, the earl will know, and if the earl knows, he will definitely want such a weapon.
Instead of waiting for the other person to speak, it is better to be single. After all, he is a weapons dealer now, how could he have weapons that he doesn't sell?
Such weapons will be sold sooner or later anyway, and it is not unacceptable to promote them now.
The reason why Tang Mo was so generous was actually that he had already started to prepare a small amount of smokeless gunpowder. With this kind of stuff, he could make metal fixed-loading ammunition.
Even if there is only a small amount of production, hand-made metal fixed-loading ammunition can develop the revolver into a true revolver. Although they are the same thing, Tang Mo knows that in terms of loading methods, the two are actually still the same. different.
There is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. The reason why the revolver replaced the revolver and became the unofficial name of this type of pistol is absolutely reasonable.
Early revolvers could only be loaded one shot at a time, and when loading ammunition, you needed to use the pressure rod on the pistol to tamp the gunpowder—this process was actually very troublesome.
Even though the paper-shell fixed-loading revolver he developed is more advanced, the actual preloading speed is still very slow.
