Born In England

Prince Alexander, Yakov and other ministers were instantly attracted after hearing this.

"Can the artillery be carried away by one person?"

"This is impossible!"

In their cognition, artillery and artillery are all bulky guys.

Even the smallest caliber artillery, it takes several people to push it away.

When we get to you, can we carry it alone?

It's incredible!

I always feel a little bragging.

"I never tell lies. If you don't believe me, I can show it to everyone now. It just so happens that we brought mortars this time." Li Lin smiled.

In fact, since the mortar has not yet been invented, the world really cannot understand this kind of portable artillery.

The mortar was invented before World War I. During the Goose Island War, a general tried to refit an old-fashioned 47mm naval mortar on a gun mount with wheels, and fired a long-tailed mortar at a high elevation angle. The artillery shells turned out to effectively kill and wound the devils in the trench, repelling many attacks of the devils. This gun uses a long super-caliber mortar shell with a mass of 11.5kg, a range of 50-400m, and a firing angle of 45°-65°. This kind of artillery, which was born in an emergency on the battlefield, was called "Thunderbolt" at that time. It was the earliest mortar in the world.

"Oh? Then what are you waiting for, find a place to try it out!" Prince Alexandre looked forward to it.

"good!"

an hour later.

It is still Prince Bowley's horse farm.

"Is this a mortar?" Prince Alexander was slightly surprised when he saw such a short and small-caliber artillery.

[Recommended, Mimi's reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. 】

"Yes, it consists of two parts, the gun barrel and the gun mount! It's almost like a machine gun." Li Lin quickly installed it, and explained for a hundred years.

"This installation speed is a bit fast!" Yakov slightly exclaimed.

"Yes, with a suitable ground level, the installation can be completed in a few minutes. If you encounter some places with poor foundations, you need to use an engineer shovel to dig out a pit that can stabilize the artillery mount." Li Lin continued to explain .

In a few minutes, a mortar is installed.

"The cannon doesn't have a drawstring either!" Prince Alexandre bowed down and took a closer look.

"Our shell is a shell specially designed for this kind of artillery. There is another firing pin inside. When the shell is lowered from the muzzle and hits the base of the barrel, the shell can be fired." Li Lin explained.

"So it's so convenient!" Prince Alexander's eyes lit up.

"Yes, a skilled artilleryman can fire 30 shells a minute!"

"Fire thirty shells a minute? That's one shell every 2 seconds!" Yakov's tongue-in-cheek elder said in astonishment.

"Yes."

"Hurry up and start, I can't wait to see how it works!" Prince Alexander urged.

"good!"

"Li Kongjing, be my bomber." Li Lin told Li Kongjing beside him.

"Yes, boss."

Li Lin adjusted the position of the muzzle slightly, with a 45° firing angle.

After checking again that there were no safety hazards in the artillery installation, he directly picked up a mortar shell, put it on the mouth of the barrel, and let go of his hand.

grunt...

Everyone heard the sound of shells rubbing against the wall of the barrel.

Puff.

in the end!

boom!

There was a muffled sound.

The shells immediately flew away from the base of the barrel.

call out……

A few hundred meters away, there was an explosion.

Before the sound of the explosion dissipated, Li Lin put the second shell in.

So repeat.

bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom...

More than 20 shells were thrown into it in one minute.

That effect is really explosive!

"It's really fast!" Prince Alexander and the others were shocked.

"The power of the explosion is not bad."

"Yes, it has a maximum range: 1840 meters,

Minimum shooting range: 91 meters, that is to say, it is definitely very easy to use for attacking enemy machine gun positions or trenches. We can strike accurately from hundreds of meters away! "Li Lin continued to introduce.

"Total weight of the gun: 19.07 kg. On the battlefield, rapid support is very fast. It is especially suitable for mountain warfare and trench warfare!"

"Okay, this artillery is really good." Although Prince Alexandre doesn't know much about the battlefield, it is a very good advantage because it is light and easy to carry. Two people can form an artillery team.

"So, Your Highness, are you interested in purchasing a batch?" Li Lin looked at the other party with a smile.

"I don't know the price?" Prince Alexander asked back.

"One of our mortars costs 1,500 pounds, and shells cost 5 pounds a round," Li Lin said.

Prince Alexander nodded after hearing this, and compared the price of the machine gun. The price of the artillery was within his acceptable range. As for the price of the shell, it was about the same.

"I have to go back and discuss it before deciding whether to purchase it, but I need to bring a mortar back to show the generals the specific battlefield value." Prince Alexander said.

"sure."

Soon, Prince Alexander left with a mortar and hundreds of shells.

In the next few days, Li Lin continued to wait for news.

...

In a military camp in the suburbs.

When a group of generals watched the shelling performance of the M2-60mm mortar, they were all shocked.

"I didn't expect there to be such a fast-firing artillery!"

"The most important thing is that it is easy to use and light, and it is very suitable for transferring artillery positions."

"It is indeed a good artillery!"

"Your Highness, I think we can purchase a batch!"

"I agree too."

"This Li's weapons company really gave us a lot of surprises. It was originally an unknown weapons company, but it didn't expect to have these good weapons!"

...

On this day, he was once again invited by Prince Alexander.

"Li Lin, we plan to purchase a batch of M2-60mm mortars! But do you have a discount? After all, we have purchased a lot of machine guns before." Prince Alexander squinted his eyes.

"In terms of price, if you buy more, we can indeed give you a discount." Li Lin smiled.

After all, the two sides are now considered close arms trading partners, and there is nothing wrong with giving them a discount.

"We plan to purchase 1,000 mortars and 3 million rounds of shells!" Prince Alexander said proudly.

After hearing this, Li Lin thought to himself, it's another big deal!

"I'd like to offer £50 off each door, how about that?"

"We bought so much to get such a discount, and even less!"

In the end, the two sides launched a fierce bargaining.

In the end, Li Lin sold it to the other party at a price of 1,400 pounds, but the price of the shells remained unchanged, which was still 5 pounds a shell.

He knew in his heart that cannonballs were the things that would make a lot of money in the future!

15 million pounds of shell orders, 1.4 million mortar orders.

Add up another order of 16.4 million pounds, plus the previous order of 13.5 million pounds, this time it is a full order of 29.9 million pounds!
