Chapter 842： Asking a problem is not the same as solving a problem

"Your Majesty, the reason why the rifle can't be drawn smoothly is not on the rifle! It's on the brass bullets we use!"

Old Mauser stretched out his hand to show Jerome Bonaparte the brass bullet in his hand.

"What could be wrong with the bullets?" Jerome Bonaparte grabbed the two brass bullets and looked at them carefully for a while, but found no problem.

Old Mauser hurriedly explained to Jerome Bonaparte that the bullets produced by Yuango were not technically good enough. Metal fixed-load bullets were made of copper rods to form a shell, which was then welded.

This does not completely fit the seam, so some bullets are easy to be stuffed in after being fired and cannot be pulled out.

"Is there anything to solve this problem!" Jerome Bonaparte asked old Mauser.

"Your Majesty, this may be difficult!" Old Mauser shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Alright then!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed. He knew that Old Mauser and the others didn't know much about brass bullet technology, so he probably couldn't count on them.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! We will definitely find a way!" Old Mauser hurriedly assured Jerome Bonaparte.

"Just do your best!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the old Mauser in a soothing tone, and then praised the Mauser 2.0 rifle: "Even if this rifle is slightly flawed, it is already a very good one. Rifle up!

It can be arranged into the army equipment sequence! "

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's speech, old Mauser immediately showed a smile on his face.

"Mr. Mauser, you and everyone in your research group can get a prize of 10,000 to 50,000 francs!" Jerome Bonaparte said to old Mauser proudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Old Mauser responded excitedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I hope you can make persistent efforts to overcome the difficulties!" Jerome Bonaparte said to old Mauser again.

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte assigned a project to the old Mauser, which was to create a portable pistol for France.

"This time there is no limit to the time I give you, as long as you can make a pistol that fits my heart before I die, it will be a success!

' said Jerome Bonaparte to old Mauser in a playful tone.

"Understood!" Old Mauser nodded to show his understanding.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the Institute with old Mauser.

Antoine Chasepo appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte and reported the progress of the multi-barrel cannon to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, the design of the multi-barrel cannon has been roughly completed. As long as the sample is produced, the experiment can be carried out!"

"Very good! Mr. Chasepo, I look forward to your work!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction.

If Antoine Chasepo's multi-barrel cannon can go smoothly, then Jerome Bonaparte will naturally not be stingy with his reward.

Compared with the historical Gatling cannon (gun), Anthony Chasepo's multi-barreled cannon is three years earlier.

At that time, by virtue of the first-mover advantage, Dr. Gatlin, who is far away in the United States, will know what a patent bully is.

France can also have more time to explore new tactics. The revolution of breech guns and breech guns is not only a revolution in weapons, but also a revolution in tactical systems.

In this way, Jerome Bonaparte and Jerome Patterson left with the farewell of old Mauser and others.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the Tuinlery Palace, began to think about the problem of brass bullets. After thinking about it for nearly a few hours, he decided to find a professional to help him solve his problems.

So Jerome Bonaparte called Basilio.

"Go to the mansion that Senator Eugène Schneider put in Paris to see if he has been around for a few years! If he is, call him here immediately!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Basilio .

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Basilio hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

About half an hour later, Senator Eugene Schneider appeared in Jerome Bonaparte's room.

"Your Majesty!" Eugene Schneider bowed slightly and greeted Jerome Bonaparte.

"Eugène, come and sit down first! I have some questions to ask you!" Jerome Bonaparte invited Eugene Schneider to sit on the sofa.

Eugene Schneider followed Jerome Bonaparte's instructions and sat down.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked about Eugène Schneider's business in the small town of Luck Lezuo and the Lorraine area.

"Thank you! The current size of Schneider has more than doubled!" Eugène Schneider responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Eugene Schneider with a smile on his face, and then he asked Eugene Schneider about stamping and dies.

book

Eugène Schneider explained to Jerome Bonaparte one by one, and Jerome Bonaparte believed that Eugene Schneider would be a suitable candidate.

"Eugène, I have a technical problem that I want you to overcome! Do you have the confidence to complete it!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Eugene Schneider.

"Your Majesty, what kind of problem!" Eugene Schneider was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte asked Eugène Schneider about the brass bullet, and then he put forward some ideas of his own, "I was thinking that if a whole copper ingot is used, it can be punched and stretched. No to make a brass bullet that doesn't require soldering!"

After thinking for a moment, Eugene Schneider responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, in theory, it is indeed possible!

However, this requires a lot of experimentation! "

"So, I should be able to entrust you with this task!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Eugène Schneider with a hint of hope.

Eugene Schneider nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I will overcome this problem in the shortest possible time!"

"Well! I look forward to your performance!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Eugène Schneider.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked Eugène Schneider again if he was willing to conduct research in the field of artillery.

This time Eugène Schneider did not reject Jerome Bonaparte, he also took over the task of researching Jerome Bonaparte's artillery.

Jerome Bonaparte was slightly surprised. He half-jokingly asked Eugène Schneider why he wanted to study artillery.

Eugene Schneider frankly told Jerome Bonaparte that the reason why he studied artillery was because his old rival Krupp began to study in the field of artillery, so he was willing to enter the field of artillery.

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and responded to Eugène Schneider.

Although he didn't understand why Eugene Schneider insisted on chasing Krupp (perhaps because the two companies' development lines were not very different, so they did not like each other), but Eugene Schneider was able to set his sights on the artillery. This matter in the field still makes him very happy.

After Eugene Schneider left, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Basilio to call the Colonial Minister General de Castelne to the study.

After the arrival of General de Castelne, Jerome Bonaparte told de Castner straight to the point that he wanted Jerome Paterson to be the governor of Gabon and be responsible for handling everything in Gabon. thing.

When Minister de Castelne heard the appointment of Jérôme Bonaparte, he immediately thought of "exile".

After all, the Gabon region is not French Algiers, and the living conditions there are much worse than French Algiers.

Even the exiles, the vast majority will not be exiled to Gabon.

If it weren't for France's own extraordinary obsession with the land, Gabon would have long since been abandoned.

[PS: During this period, Senegal and Gabon were basically losing money, and Senegal was almost abandoned because of the continuous subsidy.

In the end, the idea was abandoned due to the opposition of the army and the government's inability to bear the negative impact of relinquishing the territory. 】

Arranging Lieutenant Colonel Jerome Patterson in Gabon, it was hard for De Castner not to believe that Emperor Jerome Bonaparte was exiling Jerome Patterson in disguise.

However, the "infighting" of the Bonaparte family had nothing to do with De Castelner, he just had to obey the emperor's advice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" De Casterner responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way, there are more than 5,000 Croatians who will follow Jerome Paterson to Gabon. You should prepare the Gabon region in advance!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to De Casterne again. a sentence.

This time, De Casterner was even more puzzled, what exactly did Emperor Jerome Bonaparte want to do.

never mind! No matter, anyway, this is an internal matter of their Bonaparte family, and it has nothing to do with me!

De Kastner secretly said and still responded with "understand".

…

A week later, a piece of news spread among the upper classes of Paris: Lieutenant Colonel Jerome Patterson, the emperor's adjutant, had resigned and was going to Gabon to serve as governor.

As soon as this statement came out, the upper echelons of Paris began to talk, and many people speculated that the reason why Jerome Bonaparte sent Jerome Paterson to Gabon was to eliminate Jerome Paterson's influence.

Prince Monfort, the marshal of the Empire, couldn't sit still after hearing the news. He hurriedly came to Jerome Bonaparte's study and asked Jerome Bonaparte if he wanted to let Jerome Bonaparte. . Patterson went to Gabon as governor.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then explained to Monfort that he asked Jerome Paterson to go to Gabon, not to exile him, but to let him use his hands and feet in Gabon, so that he had a reason Promote him!

"Really?" Jerome Bonaparte, Prince Monfort, hid his heart suspiciously.
