Kornilov thought for a while and said: "Although lightweight mortars combined with explosive shells are very good, the problem is that this lightweight support weapon must be deployed in advance because of its short range, and it needs a sufficient number to be effective.
.As a result, can our country supply a sufficient amount of explosive bombs with its capabilities?"
Li Xiao smiled and immediately explained: "Explosive bombs and explosive bombs are also different. It is difficult to produce explosive bombs for howitzers and cannons, and it is indeed beyond our capabilities. But our mortars have a shorter range than the muzzle velocity of the shell.
It is low, and the production difficulty is more than a step lower. The only thing that requires technical content is the fuze. This is also a problem we are trying our best to solve, and now we have solved more than half of it!"
Kornilov nodded and asked: "This kind of mortar...is the mortar barrel easy to deal with?"
"It's easy to solve. It's simpler than an ordinary six-pounder. It uses the smoothbore structure and even has a shorter barrel. What's the trouble?"
Kornilov suddenly realized that the longer the barrel, the more troublesome it is to process it. Mortars do not have high range requirements, so they naturally do not need a particularly long barrel. Moreover, the muzzle velocity of the shell is low, and the strength of the barrel is required.
It's not too high, and it also allows the barrel wall to be made thinner, so less metal needs to be consumed.
The processing is simple and low-cost. This kind of weapon is simply prepared for poor countries. At Russia's level, it may be very difficult to produce powerful artillery similar to that of Britain and France, but it is not difficult to produce some mortars with little technical content.
Kornilov suddenly became happy, patted Li Xiao hard on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "You are a genius, only you can come up with this kind of weird idea!"
Before Li Xiao could speak, he rushed to say: "How many mortars and artillery shells do you have here? I want them all!"
Well, Li Xiao almost vomited blood. Do you think it would be easy for him to get some new weapons? He, the real boss, was ready to pack them all up and take them away even before Kornilov could use them. This is better than the bandits, okay?
He quickly said: "No, I still have tests to finish here, you'd better wait a moment..."
Kornilov interrupted him again, waved his hand rudely and said: "If you want to test anything else, let my young man test it for you. No test is more effective than the battlefield. In the end, whether it is useful or not depends on the battlefield."
The final say!”
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Li Xiao felt awkward hearing it. However, he also knew that Kornilov was not an unreasonable person, and there was probably a reason why he was so anxious.
"Ineada is in a hurry?" Li Xiao suddenly asked.
Kornilov sighed and said: "You said that the situation is extremely serious and tight, but that's not true. We just won a great victory and killed about 10,000 Turks and countless British and French troops."
Li Xiao looked at Kornilov quietly, knowing that there must be more to say later. Sure enough, he sighed again and said: "But enemies, especially the British and French forces, are arriving on the battlefield in a steady stream. In the long run, the situation is not optimistic! The most important thing is
It's this guy Paskovich who can't see this at all, and thinks that this victory is a sign of some glorious victory that he will win."
Li Xiao curled his lips and said: "This is not surprising, he has always been like this, he has become a demon!"
Kornilov nodded and replied seriously: "So I can only try my best to prepare for the worst and try to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the boys..."
Hearing this, Li Xiao also felt quite emotional. Today's Russia is like a broken car without brakes going down a cliff. Although there were a few sober drivers in the car who tried to control the vehicle and try to slow down, the car could not be stopped.
But the passengers on board are all crazy, always creating some planes to make this shabby car drive faster and more wildly!
Li Xiao has been tortured so much that if Russia hadn't been destroyed, he would have been implicated. He really didn't want to care about this broken car anymore and let it fend for itself.
It's a pity that I can't do it alone, so I can only try my best to make it difficult.
So he understands Kornilov very well and knows how difficult it is for him. Imagine that you are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of enemies, and the commander-in-chief behind you not only refuses to retreat but keeps urging you to attack, saying
Do you fight like a mother without eggs? How would you feel?
"Have Paskovich's follow-up troops not landed yet?" Li Xiao asked.
"We're ashore, but it's better not to come!" Kornilov said with a wry smile. "These guys were either exhausted from dysentery or seasickness. They couldn't fight after getting off the ship. And the area we control in Ineada was originally
It's not that big. More than 20,000 patients have been squeezed in, which has greatly worsened the local health situation. My people not only have to resist the attack of the British, French and Turkish forces, but also have to take care of them to avoid being infected by them. What do you call this?
Son!"
Even thinking about Li Xiao felt like it was a nightmare, and Paskovich was simply doing a disservice. Kornilov and Nassimov had an easy life, and tried every means to increase the difficulty for them.
It is conceivable that if the infectious disease is allowed to spread, Ineada will become a hell on earth, but Li Xiao has no good way to do this. Medicine is still extremely underdeveloped these days, and bloodletting is still very popular, especially in Russia.
This kind of country, which is already extremely backward in this field, is even more cheating.
The only thing that can be done is to take precautions, strengthen isolation, and try to avoid being tricked. If you are really infected, it is best to transport the infected people away, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Carry it away?" Kornilov smiled bitterly after listening to Li Xiao's suggestion, "I think so too. The problem is that Paskovich doesn't agree at all. For him, even if he is sick, it is
All his soldiers must die in Ineada. I can only transport away the infected personnel of the naval infantry."
Li Xiao sighed after hearing this. This is a big problem caused by a lack of scientific common sense and old ideas. For Paskovich, who has been accustomed to backward combat methods, all science is nonsense, and he is a tyrant.
.
"Then you let his troops go to the front line to support him," Li Xiao sighed and gave Kornilov a damaging move, "He won't think of you even if you work so hard to maintain it.
If you think you won’t fight if you disobey, just let him take the responsibility, pull out the naval infantry as soon as possible, pass the blame to him, and let him have a taste of it!”
Kornilov was dumbfounded. He never expected that Li Xiao would say this. It is not impossible to do this, but if he really does it, all the tens of thousands of troops who have just landed will have to be accounted for in Ineada. If he does this
