Chapter 68 The Power of Technology (Part 1)

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Xiao Jie said: "Don't worry too much. Although the threat exists, I will not have any trouble in the future. As long as we can make full use of this period of time and master a powerful force that belongs to us, we can also be calm in fighting against technology and others."

When they heard that they could help Xiao Jie, everyone was very happy and looked at him eagerly. Carl first asked: "How can we help you?"

Xiao Jie smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious. What you have to do now is to understand all the knowledge I taught you, it is best to use it flexibly, and then make achievements in future wars. With my help, you can get higher positions, master greater power and more army. Only when you can truly help me."

Carl and the others knew that what Xiao Jie said made sense, and they all nodded in agreement.

In this situation, Xiao Jie could only do this. Take the 88th Legion as an example. Although he is the commander of the legion, there are probably not many people who can really listen to him among the officers except his brothers. Perhaps he has gained a certain prestige among the soldiers through his recent series of measures, but it is impossible to make them follow him with all their hearts. It is impossible to promote Carl and the others. In this way, others are already talking about gossip. If they are promoted, they may arouse public anger. As a last resort, Xiao Jie had to try his best to maintain the status quo and still look harmless in front of others. Perhaps only when his strength reaches the point where he feels he can control his own destiny will his sharp fangs be revealed. In peacetime, it is basically impossible for an officer to be promoted quickly. Only in wartime, through the accumulation of military attacks, can he be promoted.

If history does not have too much deviation, it is estimated that the Fourth Anti-French Alliance and France war will begin in October this year. This is a great opportunity for Xiao Jie. If he wants to strengthen his team, he must seize this opportunity. But now the training of the troops has just begun, and there are still many equipment that he has not received, which needs to be handled. A week of work has made Xiao Jie, who has never had any work experience. He has not returned in the military camp for a week, which means he has not seen Angel for a week. This is very difficult for people like him who have a first taste of the best.

After meeting with a few brothers, Xiao Jie found Gui Gore, handed over the legion to him and Eck on the grounds of urging the equipment that had not yet arrived, and slipped back to Paris alone. After meeting his parents, he went to Angel's house without even having dinner. Julie was so angry that she said that he had a wife and forgot his mother.

As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed. Xiao Jie and An Qier haven't seen each other for a week. When they met this time, the sky was so thunderous that the earth was in full swing. The two of them went to the dark night. The next day, Xiao Jie went to the research institute of the gun factory to see how they developed the weapons, and An Qier still couldn't get up in bed.

Since he notified Coffet yesterday, he asked him to make arrangements early. So when Xiao Jie came to the gun factory outside Paris, the director of the institute, Baral, had been waiting for him for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xiao Jie get off the carriage, Balar immediately welcomed him warmly. "Your Highness, welcome to come here to inspect." Balar said respectfully. Originally, he was a scientific madman engaged in firearms research, but the cost of engaging in this research was too great. After a long period of research, he basically exhausted all his property, and even eating became a problem. He could not find anyone to invest in it, so he was poor for a while. Fortunately, Xiao Jie found out about this situation and personally invited him to serve as the director of the institute.

Under Xiao Jie's sincere invitation and the temptation of a large number of research funds, Balar was unable to withstand the temptation and accepted the position of the director of the institute. He also invited many of his former friends and assistants to enter the institute, which greatly improved the research ability of the institute.

"No need to be polite, Director. I am here to see the progress of the research of several weapons. Do you know my soldiers are still waiting for these weapons to be trained?" Xiao Jie looked at Balar with some enthusiasm and said.

After hearing Xiao Jie's words, Balar looked embarrassed.

Xiao Jie felt a little nervous. Did something go wrong? You should know that these weapons are his greatest dependence. If there is any mistake, then he will have a great impact on his plan. He asked quickly: "What's wrong? Are you facing any difficulties?"

After being told by Xiao Jie, Balar's face turned red. Xiao Jie had smashed millions of francs into it since the establishment of the institute, but he still didn't even have a shot. Not only did Xiao Jie feel anxious, but Balar also felt embarrassed. After a while, Balar said: "We just got the samples of the weapons you want us to develop. We also conducted tests yesterday, but the power is really not satisfactory, and there are many problems."

Seeing Baral like this, Xiao Jie felt a little embarrassed and comforted: "It's nothing? Scientific research is like this, and failure is inevitable. As long as everyone carefully summarizes experience and finds ways to solve the problem, they will always succeed in the end."

After hearing what Xiao Jie said, Balar's face improved a lot and said, "So do you still have to look at those weapons today?"

"Look, why don't you? Since you have come, of course you have to take a look. Maybe I can give you some ideas." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"Then please come in with me." Baral enthusiastically led Xiao Jie into the research institute. He did not dare to underestimate Xiao Jie at all. He knew that the drawings of the weapons they were researching were provided by Xiao Jie. Although he didn't believe that it was made by Xiao Jie, he still regarded him as an expert in weapon research.

The first weapon for Xiao Jie to show was the improved 1806 rifle of the Type 1802 rifle, which is probably the most successful work in the entire research institute. Although the drawings were still provided by Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie also knew their difficulties, so he didn't say anything.

The improved Type 1806 rifle has greatly improved its power, range and accuracy than Type 1802. The barrel is also made of high-strength steel newly produced by the steel factory, so it is much durable. It will not be scrapped if it shoots a thousand rounds like the original Type 1802. There is also a gun that the institute has made some improved guns based on Type 1806. It is mainly a cavalry rifle developed by Xiao Jie in order to be more conducive to the use of the cavalry. The cavalry rifle is much shorter than the 1806 rifle, only about 90 cm, and its power and range are much smaller than Type 1806. However, due to the maneuverability of the cavalry, the newly designed cavalry will be more suitable for them to use.
