Chapter 840 Lyon Telegraph with Mauser Rifle
After the throes of transition in 1855, Jerome Bonaparte’s job became extraordinarily easy.
In addition to receiving documents from the secretary’s office every day, Jérôme Bonaparte spent the rest of the day in organizing salons and accompanying his wife and children on outings.
Under Jerome Bonaparte’s instruction, some newspapers began to report the warm life and lace news of Jerome Bonaparte’s family to the outside world.
The citizens of Paris passed the newspapers and the emperor who was different from the mainstream newspapers. This emperor was more down-to-earth than the emperor described in the mainstream newspapers. When the people found that the emperor and their way of life and entertainment (fishing, horseback riding, playing cards, picking up girls) had nothing to do with it At the time of the difference, an invisible sense of intimacy emerged, and the people’s support for the government of Jerome Bonaparte gradually increased.
Of course, these lace news will also bring some “negative” images to Jerome Bonaparte, that is, every time Jerome Bonaparte talks to passers-by on the street, there will always be passers-by laughing He asked Jerome Bonaparte, “How many girlfriends does the emperor have?”, “Your Majesty, do you still have contact with xxx?” An embarrassing and polite smile.
In this way, it soon arrived in June. When a telegram from the Lyon military district was transmitted to the telegraph office of the Ministry of War, the chief of the telegraph office quickly handed the telegram to the Minister of War, Wayan.
After receiving the telegram, Wayan glanced at the content of the telegram, and immediately called the Secretary of State over and handed the telegram into his hands: “You immediately take this telegram to the Tuin Leli Palace, and then send the Give the telegram to the emperor!”
After receiving the telegram, the State Secretary didn’t even look at it, folded it and stuffed it in his pocket, “Yes! Minister! (All departments have long been used to the title of Minister
Having said that, the Secretary of State quickly left the War Department and took a carriage to the Tuinlery Palace.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Tuinleli Palace, the Secretary of State for the War Department got off the carriage and trotted into the Tuinleli Palace and stepped on the steps.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding both sides of the Duinleli Palace immediately stopped the State Secretary halfway forward and asked the State Secretary, “What are you going to do?”
The Secretary of State took out the telegram from his pocket and responded to the soldier: “I am here by order of War Minister Wayan to submit a telegram to His Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, it’s not at the Tuin Leli Palace now!” The soldier quickly replied.
“Where is your majesty now?” the secretary of state asked the soldier with a surprised look on his face.
“Please wait a moment!” A soldier entered the interior of the Tuyin Leli Palace.
After a while, the (nominal) head of the royal family, Virnia, appeared in front of the state secretary with a blank expression, and the secretary of state hurriedly responded respectfully: “Superintendent Virnia!”
“Your Majesty, I’m currently inspecting the industrial park of the North Industries Group! If you are in a hurry, I can send someone to call him back!” Virnia said in a sullen tone.
“Thank you very much!” The Secretary of State thanked Virnia, then turned and left the Tuinlerey Palace.
The secretary of state, who had not yet walked down the steps, was immediately stopped by Virnia behind him: “Wait a minute!”
“Director Virnia, is there anything else you can do?” the State Secretary asked Virnia with a little doubt.
After hesitating for a moment, Virnia asked the Secretary of State, “Are you planning to return to the War Department?”
The secretary of state told Virnia that he would personally go to the North Industries Group Park to find Emperor Jerome Bonaparte.
“Well, I see!” Vernia nodded and responded to the Secretary of State.
After getting back on the carriage and arriving at the Secretary of State, he galloped all the way to the industrial park on the outskirts. After entering the park, he was led by the soldiers to the shooting range inside the industrial park.
“What is your majesty doing here?” the secretary of state whispered.
The soldier next to him looked at the secretary of state in surprise after hearing the words of the secretary of state, “Don’t you know?”
“Know what?” The Secretary of State was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked.
The soldier immediately told the secretary of state that the reason why His Majesty the Emperor came here was to test the performance of the new rifle.
“New-style rifle?” The secretary of state was taken aback for a second. He had been secretary of state for a while, but he really didn’t know about the new-style rifle.
However, he suddenly remembered that when he was arranging documents for the Minister of War one day, he accidentally discovered that since the middle of last year, the number of Miner rifles produced by the Empire had been greatly reduced compared to before.
Originally, he thought that because the Empire had entered into peace, the mass production of Miner rifles was no longer there.
Now it seems that the reduction in the production of the Miner rifle is likely to have a great relationship with the new rifle.
“So it is!” the Secretary of State muttered to himself again.
At this time, Jerome Bonaparte, who was in the shooting range inside the industrial park, was carefully looking at the rear-loading rifle in his hand. Roma Bonaparte waited quietly beside him.
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte gently opened the magazine for the rear-loading gun with his hand, and there was a slight sound from the magazine immediately.
Jerome Bonaparte knew that the firing pin at this moment had already been in place under the action of the internal spring.
“Bullets!” Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand again and said to old Mauser.
Old Mauser quickly handed a brass fixed bullet with a diameter of about 11mm into the hands of Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte put the bullet into the gun body, and then pulled the pull bolt back. .
With the slight sound coming from inside Mauser again, Jerome Bonaparte raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it at the distant target, then pulled the trigger.
With only a “bang” sound, the bullet was fired from the muzzle, and shot at a distant target at an extremely fast speed.
About 1 second or so, the bullet focused on the target.
“Patterson, go take a look!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to Jerome Patterson.
“Yes!” Jerome Patterson hurried over.
Jerome Bonaparte opened the bolt, and the inner shell was pulled out smoothly as Jerome Bonaparte pulled back.
It seems that the shelling mechanism has been completely conquered by the old Mauser!
Jerome Bonaparte touched the metal bullet casing, which still had a trace of lingering warmth, and thought to himself.
After seeing the metal bullet casings being pulled out smoothly, Old Mauser gradually relaxed his nervous expression.
“You did a good job!” Jerome Bonaparte praised old Mauser.
“Your Majesty, you have won the prize!” Old Mauser responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte, and then responded to Jerome Bonaparte: “This design was proposed by you and Paul completed it. !”
“Oh?” Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Paul Mauser next to old Mauser in surprise, he patted Paul Mauser on the shoulder with the rifle in his hand and said seriously, “I I believe that your name will be able to be sung by the whole world in the future, and you must not bury your talent!”
After hearing Jerome Bonaparte’s praise, Paul Mauser also said excitedly that he would definitely design rifles for His Majesty the Emperor.
After listening to Paul Mauser’s promise, the corners of Jerome Bonaparte’s mouth rose slightly, and he couldn’t help thinking of the Kingdom of Prussia.
If he hadn’t cut his teeth halfway, William Mauser and Paul Mauser would have designed one excellent rifle after another for Prussia like history.
Now that the Mauser family is serving France, it may be difficult for the Kingdom of Prussia to find a design master comparable to Mauser.
The rarity of top gun designers is almost as rare as that of scientists.
After all, not everyone can have talent.
Paul. Mauser and William. Mauser happens to be this type of talent.
“I hope you don’t forget today’s promise!” Jerome Bonaparte emphasized that in his heart, once the Mauser brothers were out of his control, he would destroy them at all costs.
What Jerome Bonaparte could not obtain, the kingdom of Prussia should not seek.
On the contrary, if William. Mauser and Paul. Mauser can design excellent works for France, then Jerome Bonaparte does not mind giving them due credit.
Paul Mauser obviously did not understand the dark thoughts in Jerome Bonaparte’s heart, and he promised that Jerome Bonaparte would keep his promise.
Then, Jerome Paterson came to Jerome Bonaparte and informed Jerome Bonaparte that the score of the 100-meter shooting was 9 rings.
“It’s not bad!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the Mauser Rifle 2.0 to Jerome Patterson, “You also try it! However, this time you have to lie down Shoot on the ground.”
Jerome Patterson, who took over the rifle, found another target and started shooting according to Jerome Bonaparte’s orders. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
After another shot, William Mauser ran to the target and announced that Jerome Paterson’s shooting score was 8th.
“You are hiding! Paterson!” said Jerome Bonaparte, who knew Jerome Paterson’s shooting talent.
“No! Your Majesty, I’m just a little bit unaccustomed to this way of shooting!” Jerome Patterson quibble.
“Then which one do you think is better compared to the last version of this rifle!” Jerome Bonaparte asked Jerome Patterson again.
“Your Majesty, of course this version is better!” Jerome Patterson replied without hesitation, “This design (referring to the shell extraction device) can save us a lot of time, but…”
“But what?” asked Jerome Bonaparte.
“However, this rifle is likely to put a lot of pressure on our logistics!”
