247 crisp and clear

 The sound of a super revolver launching grenade is very small, just like the sound of hitting the iron sheet with a small hammer: 告, 告, 告—

It sounds quite crisp and pleasant.

More than a dozen super revolvers fired together, and the dense grenades were a bit overwhelming. The mercenaries just rushed out of the tent and were knocked down by shrapnel and steel balls flying everywhere. The scene was really terrible.

There is no effective resistance at all. In name, the mercenaries are all elites from various countries, which is considered to be a battlefield for a long time, but they have never experienced such a situation before, which is beyond their understanding of war. Many mercenaries even thought that a large-scale war broke out, and more people were directly killed in the first round of attacks.

These people are considered happy because they don’t have to go through the next torture.

Almost as the grenade shooter opened fire, the infantry attacked quickly in squads. At this time, the infantry had not forgotten to maintain the formation, but it was obvious that they were too careful and the infantry did not suffer any resistance until they entered the combat position.

Wei Zhen did not participate in the charge, and he held a telescope in his hand and observed the situation in the store at a high place.

Right next to Weizhen, there are more than a dozen precision shooters responsible for sniping. They use Martini Henry, who has a scope installed. After this battle, they can change into precision rifles produced by the Niasaran Arsenal.

The precision rifle is actually Lee Enfield rifle. Compared with Lee Enfield equipped by ordinary soldiers, the high-precision Lee Enfield used by precision shooters has smaller errors between parts, and the machining accuracy of each part almost reaches the highest level at this time. The combination of Lee Enfield will greatly improve the accuracy level compared to the ordinary Lee Enfield.

Of course, the increase in accuracy also means an increase in costs. Niasalan Arsenal estimates that the cost of accurate rifles is about twice that of an ordinary rifle. As for the price for sale to the outside world—

Sorry, Nyasalan will not sell precision rifles to the outside world in a short period of time. Even if they are sold in the future, the price will be more than ten times that of ordinary rifles.

Feel expensive?

Don’t think it’s expensive, you can’t buy it if you think it’s expensive.

For accurate shooters, the significance of a high-precision rifle does not need to be discussed. An ordinary soldier may need 100 bullets to kill an enemy. An accurate shooter can do one bullet. This is not only a technical gap, but also the role of weapons is very important.

Even the most ordinary bullets, the bullets used by the precision shooter are different from those used by ordinary soldiers. Although they are also 7.7 mm caliber, the bullets used by the precision shooter are fully handmade, and the warhead is heavier than the warhead of the ordinary rifle bullet. In order to ensure the shooting accuracy, the precision shooter's warhead uses only one material, while the warhead of the ordinary bullet is two materials.

Better technology, more advanced weapons, and more mature combat methods are overwhelmingly advantageous.

Wei Zhen clearly saw that at the beginning of the battle, there were officers in the mercenaries organizing counterattacks, but these officers who gave orders accurately shot dead in the first place, and then the mercenaries fell into chaos.

As for the two Maxim heavy machine guns equipped by mercenaries, they are the key objects of care for precision shooters. As long as someone tries to use heavy machine guns to counterattack, they will be killed by precision shooters immediately. After five or six shooters were killed in a row, all the mercenaries left the two heavy machine guns far away, and no one tried to counterattack again.

The officers and soldiers of Company D were also ruthless. After arriving at the combat position, the officers and soldiers of Company D were not in a hurry to destroy the enemy, but instead called "1, 2, 3" to throw the grenade together first. After throwing the grenade, it was another incendiary bomb. After the incendiary bomb was thrown for two rounds, the commercial store had no movement at all.

Even the injured Shin Jin-speaking all disappeared.

Company D finally failed to complete the task assigned by Anton. When Company D set off, Anton asked to hang all the enemies. As a result, after the battle, the officers and soldiers of Company D cleaned the battlefield and found that many mercenaries were directly burned to coke, and even two heavy machine guns were burned into two piles of scrap iron.

There was no doubt that the mercenaries were quickly surrounded and annihilated by the officers and soldiers of the D Company before they even had time to escape.

The news came back to Nyasalan on January 2, 1904, and Rock announced the news at a New Year's celebration dinner held in Little Rock.

Neasaran officials have become accustomed to it. As long as the mercenaries crossed the border and launched an attack, Neasaran officials had never worried that the Rhodesian Northern Division would lose. Now the Rhodesian Northern Division once again proved its strength with its record. Neasaran officials just drank a drink together at Rock's mention, and then lost interest in the mercenaries.

"You really did it. Now I really suspect that your men are round table warriors." Frank's expression was complicated when he raised his glass to Rock.

This metaphor is not very suitable. Legend has it that the Round Table Warrior was a subordinate of the British King Arthur. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, King Arthur led his Round Table Warrior to unify the British Isles and created myths, and was later honored as King Arthur.

Rock is the British baron. Frank compared Rock with King Arthur to a great rebellion. Fortunately, Nyasaran's agents are all Frank's subordinates, so no one reported Frank.

"How is that possible? First of all, the Rhodesian Northern Division is not my subordinate. This is Cecil's army. Secondly, the officers and soldiers of the Rhodesian Northern Division will be injured when attacked. However, no matter who dares to provoke the Rhodesian Northern Division, they must be prepared to be retaliated by the Rhodesian Northern Division. Who is the King of Belgium? Leopold II, right? He is in trouble!" Rock would not just forget it. Although this matter probably has nothing to do with Leopold II, Rock did not plan to let Leopold II go.

"Locke, what do you want to do? I have to remind you, don't do anything randomly, the majesty of the royal family cannot be violated." Frank was very nervous. Rock was not a joke. Frank knew very well that Rock was really capable of doing it.

If Rock wanted to do something, there would be no need for Rock to take action. Could it be that only Leopold II and the Belgian government could find mercenaries? If Rock waved the check, there would be a large group of mercenaries working for Rock, which means that Rock still maintains restraint. Otherwise, if Rock would be able to burn the war to Belgium, let alone Congo, Rock would have the ability to burn the war to Belgium.

"Frank, I think you are a friend. Do you mean? I can only be beaten passively, but I will never fight back. Are you the director of the War Office of the British Empire or the director of the War Office of the Kingdom of Belgium?" Rock directly questioned Frank's position. In any case, Frank should be consistent with Rock.

"Of course I am the director of the British Empire's War Office, but it has nothing to do with the position-" Frank's expression was broken. This hat was too big and no one dared to wear it.

"Why doesn't it matter? As the director of the British Empire War Office, shouldn't you protect the interests of the Baron of the Empire?" Xiao Si was still singing along the side. This is the standard to watch the fun without much trouble.

"We must launch a counterattack, which is also to safeguard the dignity of the British Empire. No one can offend the British Empire and escape unscathed." Anton added fuel to the fire next to him.

"Lord Nyasalan, we are ready. With your order, we can level Leopoldville." Martin was shouting wildly, playing a crazy general who started a war without any brainstorm.

Frank is really a headache. There are hawkish leaders like Rock and S, and militants like Anton and Martin. But the Belgian government is still unaware of the provocation. Frank really wants to ignore it, regardless of the Belgian life or death.

But it is impossible not to ask. If Rock expands the scale of the war, it may trigger a full-scale war between Britain and Belgium, which the British government will definitely not want to see.

After the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia replaced France and became the overlord of the European continent. Britain's current national policy is to unite France to suppress Germany, and Belgium is France's younger brother. If a war breaks out between Niasaran and the Congo Free State, it will definitely affect the cooperation between Britain and Belgium.

"Lord, I hope you will remain restrained. If possible, this matter can be left to me to deal with. I will definitely give you an answer that you can accept." Frank knew how to satisfy Rock. As long as the Belgian government gave to Niasaran part of the territory, Rock would be satisfied.

This was nothing unacceptable to Frank. In the Berlin Conference, Leopold II became the biggest winner, and then the major powers realized that they were deceived by the Belgians.

For weak countries, the result of the Berlin Conference is amulet, and for strong countries, the result of the Berlin Conference is the toilet in the bedroom. Therefore, the plan announced by the United Kingdom and Germany after the Berlin Conference is part of the respective plans.

In other words, as long as the form is favorable, both Britain and Germany will tear down the decision of the Berlin Conference at any time.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news, Frank." Rock didn't care. After all, it was necessary to speak in strength.

After Frank returned to the base of the War Office, Mashan contacted London, hoping to contact Belgium.

Unfortunately, before news came from London, another vicious incident occurred. On January 4, Duncan, general manager of Niasaran Agriculture Company, was assassinated while inspecting the North Sea.

Although Duncan is nominally the general manager of a company, in Niasaran, Duncan is actually the chief executive of Niasaran. This is a problem. Even if Frank wants to mediate, Rock probably won't give up.
