On December 12, Tang Ning was testing a gun inside the headquarters of the 1st Royal Brazilian Division.
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Once again, after firing three shots in a row, Tang Ning calmly put away the gun and waited for the report from the target inspector two hundred meters away.
"Ten rings!"
"Nine rings!"
"Seven rings!"
Listening to the shooting record, Kaka, the division commander who had been paying attention to the king, immediately applauded him for being very good.
"Your Majesty, you are really good at shooting. You can fire three shots in five seconds. In such a short period of time, the lowest level is seven."
"Stop flattering me. You are so familiar with me, and you still do this to me."
Tang Ning didn't accept this trick. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to praise him. He would be happy if people praised him, but for others, it would depend on the person and his mood.
"The B-1908 is very good. The advantages of Lee Enfield's rifle can be regarded as inherited.
The British active rifles are too inconvenient. Combining the advantages of Lee Enfield and Mauser, the 30-06 caliber B-1908 is suitable for our Brazil, and it is also the most suitable gun for the army of the Kingdom of Brazil. "
Tang Ning still attaches great importance to the Army. When he was in the United States, he opened an arsenal. Rapid-fire cannons, mountain cannons and other cannons were authorized and manufactured by Austria-Hungary and Italy. He even developed his own ones that are not popular now. of mortars.
Cannons can be solved, but guns are not easy to solve.
Although Mauser is very good, Germany does not authorize the latest and best models at all.
At that time, Tang Ning could only use the old Lee-Enfield rifle that was born in 1896 and became a popular product.
The Lee-Enfield rifle currently on the market is not the P-14 that was finalized and slightly modified in 1913. Fortunately, Downing has some rough parameters.
Tang Ning was a gun fan in her previous life. She shot a lot of guns while studying abroad. She was familiar with the classic Enfield series P-14 and its American sister gun M1917.
After Tang Ning came to America, he felt that the atmosphere here was wild and the capitalists were ruthless. He cherished his life very much and immediately began to arm himself.
B-1908 is actually based on the M1917 with normal caliber. The design of this gun has long been handed over to its own arsenal.
It's a pity that the arsenal was so incompetent that it went through a lot of work. It was finally completed in early 1908, and it was now introduced into the Brazilian Army by Tang Ning.
The biggest advantages of Enfield's rifle series are its stability, fast rate of fire, and the ability to undergo various modifications.
Sniper rifles, lances, etc. can be derived from the Enfield series. It is a perfect example of famous guns. Only AK can surpass it.
"Kaka, soldiers, are you already familiar with this gun!?"
B-1908 has been brought to Brazil by Tang Ning for so long. The former family's private armed forces have become soldiers of the Brazilian Royal Army. They have been exposed to it for a long time and should be able to use it skillfully.
Sure enough, Kaka's answer did not disappoint him.
"Your Majesty, the Royal Army soldiers are already very skilled in operating this elite weapon."
"It really didn't disappoint me!"
Tang Ning nodded with satisfaction and continued, "How are the thoughts and morale of the soldiers? Can my newly established military propaganda department do a good job?"
“Your Majesty, the Propaganda Committee has done a very good job.
They are very good at mobilizing the minds and morale of soldiers, and even the old armies are mobilized very well by them. "
Kaka, he is full of praise for the army propaganda committee members. They are so useful.
"With the propaganda committee members in the army, the soldiers seem to have guidance. Now they all have a high level of ideological awareness and have a firm heart of loyalty to the kingdom."
"Well, very good.
It is very important for the soldiers of the Kingdom to know why they are fighting. We are not mercenaries. The army must have noble ideals. "
Nowadays, the militaries of all countries in the world generally do not pay much attention to the education of the country. That is to say, Germany is special. It has its own ideas and its combat effectiveness is also very high.
"Royal Army members, high morale is very important, but morale is not enough. It also needs to be tested by war."
Tang Ning attaches great importance to military building. For Brazil to be strong, an elite military is essential.
Since arriving in Brazil from the United States, Tang Ning has begun reforming his own armed forces, and the current results look good.
What Kaka said to him just now was not a boast. The personnel Tangning deployed in the army also reported to him in this way.
When he asked just now, he just wanted to confirm and understand what Kaka thought of the current army.
Hearing His Majesty's words, Kaka was very excited. He had been waiting for the opportunity to lead the army and teach Venezuela a lesson.
"Your Majesty, are you finally ready to teach Venezuela a lesson!?"
"Yes, I have reached an agreement with Britain and France, and we are ready to take action."
Guyana should belong to Portugal, but the area is too big and all forces have intervened.
The United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and Spain all occupy Guyana's areas one by one. Spain in particular occupies the largest area, deep in the interior, while the other three countries only occupy the coast.
Venezuela, which inherited the Spanish heritage, is a small country but has great ambitions. It is very ambitious for the Guyana region. It has always been unconvinced by the United Kingdom and Brazil that border it, believing that they have encroached too much on their interests.
Venezuela is simply a piece of chewing gum. While it is stalking the United Kingdom, it is also greedy for the Guyana region controlled by Brazil.
The Kingdom of Brazil was restored under the leadership of Tang Ning, but little Venezuela actually dared to give him power and declared it illegal immediately.
Tang Ning would not let a small country with a small population dare to attack Brazil and act like a monster.
If you cause trouble for him, you will never let him go.
In South America today, the British and French powers are quite powerful. If Tang Ning wants to attack Venezuela, he must consult them.
Ask for advice and it’s smooth sailing.
Downing's Kingdom of Brazil has been very knowledgeable about current affairs since its restoration. Britain and France are very satisfied, especially France.
Venezuela is jumping like this. If Britain had not considered the impact and did not want to go to war for a small benefit in the rainforest, it would have destroyed Venezuela ten times.
Brazil wants to fight against Venezuela, which cannot recognize itself, and take over the Guyana region under Venezuelan control. Britain supports it.
Today, the Kingdom of Brazil looks like it is striving to become a powerful country, and Britain is still happy to see it.
In North America, the United States' oppression of Britain is getting stronger and stronger, and its power in Central America is growing, and it has begun to penetrate into Colombia.
Panama became independent from Colombia, and the United States' manipulation methods made Britain very wary.
Now it is obvious that Brazil wants to be the leader of South America. From the British point of view, this is very worthy of encouragement. There is only one powerful country in the Americas, the United States, which is very bad. It would be great to have another one.
"This time to attack Venezuela, I plan to mobilize two divisions, which will be commanded by you. The navy will also cooperate with you."
Venezuela is a small country by standards, and its army and weapons are extremely poor. Tang Ning's sending two divisions is really giving him too much face.
This time, two divisions were sent out, and the focus was more on training the army. They would practice their swordsmanship on Venezuela, a novice. They might fight against Chile and Argentina in the future.
"Kaka, are you confident that you can solve Venezuela within two months? Can you occupy Guyana?"
"Your Majesty, I am very confident."
Kaka still knows what kind of goods Venezuela has. If two months is too much for him, he can solve it in three weeks.
"Don't take it lightly."
Venezuela is easy to solve, but Tangning doesn't want Kaka to relax too much.
“Venezuela is the first dish, just get it quickly.
Bolivia, with a population of one million, is my future focus. Unlike Paraguay, which is completely under our control, this country still has some independence.
For Brazil to be strong, expansion like the United States is essential. You must step up your penetration into Bolivia, a landlocked country. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
