Chapter 851： "Grenadier March"

After testing, the grenades made with smokeless propellants are indeed much better than black gunpowder. At least, it can kill people. Of course, Marin also put some steel **** in the war department, which greatly improved his ability to hurt people.

Because of the fact that the grenade made by the Eighth Route Army was easy to cut in half, Marin asked the craftsmen to strictly manufacture the iron shell, avoiding too much weakness to let the gunpowder gas leak out and affect the power.

But after the grenade was made, Marin found another very embarrassing problem-the next few years, the North Sea country will not fight anymore. Why use these grenades?

Malin was immediately embarrassed-he finally made a super-era invention, and it turned out to be useless ... This ... This is very similar to Da Vinci's manuscript, but he is afraid to publish it in the world ...

Depressed, Marin took a few grenades and went to the fish pond to fry fish ...

"Bang--" There was a loud noise, and the fish pond suddenly turned. The fish in the fish pond was originally concentrated, and Marin deliberately fed the feed before throwing the grenade, which made the fish extremely concentrated ... Then, there were naturally many fish that were killed ...

Seeing that so many fish could not be eaten up, Marin greeted Schwartz and Kahn and others to come to fish corpses and bring them back to eat.

Schwartz came to the fish pond outside the city and saw the white-bellied fish.

"Master, what grenade do you use to fry fish?"

Marlin suddenly blushed ...

"Um ... that ... the power is actually quite big, that is ... if you don't fight in the past few years, waste it there, it's better ... to use it to fry fish ..."

Schwartz also asked for a grenade and threw it into the water. Then, there was a loud bang, and the water splashed the old high ...

"The power is indeed great!" Schwartz exclaimed. Schwartz also followed Marin to make a black powder version of the grenades, but gave up because of the power is too small. Even if the city gates were blown up, they were all fried with gunpowder barrels. Otherwise, the power is not enough.

"What's the use of big, no war ..." Marin sighed.

"Who said it's useless? Master, you can use grenades in the American jungle battle!" Schwartz said after thinking about it.

"Grenades are still needed to fight Native Americans? No need ..." Marin was puzzled.

"It's necessary, I heard that Native Americans mainly live in simple houses made of wood and thatch, and the outside of the village is also a wooden fence. I think this kind of grenades should be able to blow up the wooden fence doors of those indigenous villages? "

Marin thought for a while and said:

"It should be ok ... but we all use artillery, just a small cannon can blast open the wall of the indigenous village, do not need to use grenades?"

"Some artillery can't use grenades, but how about replacing those small artillery with grenades?"

"Replace?" Marin was puzzled.

"Yes, instead! The American jungle has complicated terrain. Even a 3-pound cannon is very difficult for the army to carry. After all, the three-pound cannon is also a heavy weapon. It is troublesome to transport in the jungle, at least the speed of transportation is very slow. Grenades are enough. So, my opinion is-let the army dealing with indigenous people equip grenades without carrying artillery. You know, carrying artillery is very troublesome, and you need to equip a special artillery ... "

"It makes sense ..." Marin thought, too, and it was indeed inconvenient for the artillery to march in the jungle. Grenades are different. Just a soldier and a leather bag can carry a few grenades, which is very convenient. Even if the jungle terrain is complex, there is no impact.

Later, Malinte made people build wooden fences and gates that imitated indigenous villages, and selected a group of soldiers with high throwing levels to let them try to blow up the wooden fences and gates with grenades. As a result, the experiment was successful ...

"You go to the army to pick dozens of powerful and high-throwing bombers, and send them to the American battlefield! However, when selecting, use a training bomb that imitates a grenade to test, don't disclose confidential ...

"Yes!" Schwartz turned to pick the grenadier.

Taking advantage of Schwartz's time to select excellent grenadiers, Marin was idle and bored, and copied out the "Grenadier March" which was passed on to the world with the British lobster soldiers.

To be honest, "Grenadier March" is not a world famous song, nor is it beautiful enough. However, it has a strong sense of rhythm and is very suitable for the advancement of the army. The other is that the instruments it uses are simple-this is also very important.

For example, "TheMass" that Marlin copied from before, although it is nice, but the performance is very complicated, and it needs a band to cooperate. Therefore, such songs are only suitable for presentation at some major ceremonies.

The "Grenadier March" is different, only two instruments are required to play this tune-Scottish bagpipes and ordinary snare drums. The bagpipe plays the tune, and the snare drum is responsible for making it. It is very simple. Moreover, there is little staffing. This also saves manpower and avoids excessive staffing. After all, the army is used to fight, not to play. If there are too many military musicians, it is unreasonable.

In this way, even with the addition of bagpipers and drummers, including the original commander, there are also three or five military musicians. Such a small scale does not account for any establishment. Moreover, Marin thinks about it-since the Scottish bagpipe is popular in Scotland, then, in the future, the piper will be directly recruited in Scotland ...

When Schwarz recruited 50 grenadiers, Marin decided to officially launch the "Grenadier March". However, there is no Scottish bagpipe in his hand. So he asked a carpenter to make a wooden flute. As for drums, it ’s easier, there are ...

After that, Marin found a drummer who was good at drumming, and cooperated with him to play "Grenadier March" ...

Why should he play it himself? Because no one in Beihai can play the flute ... Marin has learned to play flute in his last life. After all, the flute is cheap, and instead of thousands of pianos, where can rural children afford it? Therefore, if the children of the poor want to play musical instruments, the flute and acoustic guitar are more affordable. If you meet any classmates at the piano level ... you must be a child of a rich family. Because, the poor can't afford the piano ...

Of course, Marin refers to the post-80s and 90s. As for after zero, it is hard to say. In the 1990s, there was a well-off family with a piano. But in the 21st century, ordinary people can still afford to make cheaper domestic piano drops by biting their teeth ...

Marin and the drummer followed the line formation team of 50 grenadiers, playing the Grenadier March with passion while stepping on the steps.

In addition, in order to restore the classics of the lobster soldiers as much as possible, Malinte also found a tailor and ordered a batch of red clothing for the lobster soldiers, including a triangle hat. Originally, Marin planned to bear the bearskin hat of the British Royal Guard. However, bear fur hats are too expensive and hot. It is said that in later generations, royal guards often suffered heat stroke due to bear fur hats ...

Therefore, regardless of economic considerations, it is still practical, or the triangle hat is better ...

To be honest, the clothing of the lobster soldiers is really handsome ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Otherwise, the British will not keep this costume in the Royal Guard in the 21st century. When 50 grenadiers wore lobster soldiers' costumes and kicked forward, they were accompanied by a very rhythmic accompaniment of "Grenadier March" ... At that moment, all the onlookers were dumbfounded ... Ma ... so handsome ... this is what they think ...

But Marin is actually not satisfied, why? Because it can't use the wooden flute to blow the kind of broken sound of the Scottish bagpipe. The musical effect of the Chinese flute is better than that of the Scottish bagpipe, and it can play a more gentle music. However, "Grenadier March" is a battlefield melody that is rough and powerful, so it doesn't need to be tactful. Coupled with a passionate drum sound, the Scottish bagpipe can well express the atmosphere of the battlefield. It doesn't matter, anyway, Malin is going to recruit bagpipers in Scotland.

Of course, the audience present did not know. After all, they have n’t heard the Scottish Bagpipes version of "Grenadier March". Therefore, they have only one idea at this time-handsome! It's so handsome ...

Kahn looked hot, so he applied to Marin:

"Master, we will perform ceremonies in the future, and the guard of honor will also wear this costume and play this kind of music! It's really exciting!"

"Yes ..." The traverser is also a fan of comparisons, and naturally agrees ...
