Volume 1 Chapter 57 Federation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yan Dade and Ma Jin were so confused by the talk that they unknowingly accepted Wu Yiping's unequal treaty.

    Seeing that the other party agreed, Wu Yiping was also very happy and immediately pulled them to hold a grand dinner to entertain them.

    So that night, all the village chiefs, big and small, were called together.  In name, he welcomes the two major tribes to join, but in fact Wu Yiping intends to announce an idea that he has been considering for a long time.

    That is, he plans to set up a residents' association to unite all the suffering residents on the island to fight against the Dutch and pirates and bandits together, so that the residents of the association can live a peaceful life without being invaded or oppressed.

    In order to facilitate management, thirty seats will be set up in the federation. In the future, the management of the federation will be discussed through these thirty seats. Any resolution must be approved by more than twenty seats before it can be implemented.  In return, the two tribes each get a seat.

    In addition, villages that have previously joined the village protection team will also be divided according to region, and then every two thousand people will be given a seat in the federation.

    The village chiefs of these villages are all mature guys. Of course they know the importance of this seat and know that this is their mouthpiece to influence the federation.  It can also be expected that the federation will achieve great success sooner or later under the leadership of Wu Yiping.

    So after hearing about the federation¡¯s idea, they all readily accepted it.  He also took the initiative to help divide the areas and determined the seats of the federation that night.

    Since there are still too few people joining the federation, except for two tribes, there are dozens of villages within a hundred miles, so not all of the thirty seats have been filled, and only thirteen seats have been elected.  The remaining seats will be elected among the forces that will join the federation in the future.

    The village protection team will also be renamed the Union Guard Team.  Of course, Wu Yiping has always understood the saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, so the military is independent of the federation and is always controlled by Wu Yiping.

    A welcoming ceremony that evening marked the founding of the federation.  Now that dozens of villages within a hundred miles of Dafeng Village have been brought under the jurisdiction of the federation, certain rules and regulations are definitely needed.  At the same time, statistics on various resources under the Federation's governance are also needed.

    Wu Yiping already has a rough idea about the corresponding rules and regulations; after all, there are many mature plans in later generations, and Wu Yiping will definitely not let these plans go.  The next day, Wu Yiping took out a thick stack of systems and asked the federation's seats to discuss them slowly.  The statistics of various resources were immediately arranged and the soldiers of the village protection team were arranged to start.

    So these bored village chiefs, large and small, started a three-day discussion.

    Wu Yiping is definitely not going to join the discussion if he is busy with things.

    What Wu Yiping is most concerned about right now is the village protection teamwell, it should be said to be the joint security team now. What he is most concerned about now is the weapons of the security team. The steel crossbow is indeed a very excellent weapon. It can be said that  The guards were able to win several battles because of the steel crossbow.

    But Wu Yiping clearly knows that steel crossbows will never become the mainstream weapon in the future.

    As early as when the village protection team was first established, he had already begun research on thermal weapons.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This man actually knew how to make a matchlock gun and configure his own matchlock gun. So he had already started researching rifles when the village protection team was first established.  At the same time, Wu Yiping also explained the production method of the new fire grass contract to this Changde soldier.

    Studying the Fire and Grass Treaty is a dangerous thing and cannot be placed on a battleship or in a village, so the Black Tiger Village, which has been evacuated, has become the best experimental location.

    There is a rocky slope three kilometers away from the gate of Heihu Village.  There are basically no people wandering around here, the roads are convenient, and there are not many trees, making it drier than other places.  There are many stones that can be used for experiments, so it becomes the best experimental location.

    Since Chang Debing moved in, this place has become a restricted area. Sounds like thunder are heard from time to time, attracting curious people to come and find out; without exception, they are blocked outside.

    Wu Yiping received news yesterday that Chang Debing had made a crucial breakthrough!

    When you walk in here, there are stones of different sizes scattered everywhere on the ground.  People walking on it can easily fall and cut their hands and feet.  After climbing over a small earth col, five or six stone houses were built very scattered on a slope. These are actually just raw material storage warehouses, and the real laboratory is still at the bottom of the slope.  It's more than 300 meters away from here.

    First, he removed the static electricity from his body according to the regulations. Wu Yiping pushed the door open and entered, which was completely made of stones.Built into the house.

    When the house was built, the walls were filled with ventilation openings, which could increase air circulation and provide sufficient light inside the house.

    Seeing Wu Yiping come in, Chang Debing, who was leading everyone busy, made a wait gesture to Wu Yiping and continued busy with the work at hand.

    This is also Wu Yiping's request. No matter what time it is, work comes first, and there is no need for accompanying inspections or sexual performances.  Especially since this is a high-risk place.  You must always be careful and vigilant. You cannot do anything else until the work at hand is completed.

    "Instructor, you are here! I conducted the experiment according to the method you mentioned last time, and it turned out to be successful. Come and see." Chang Debing, who had just finished his work, showed off to him like a child.  Wu Yiping said.

    Follow Chang Debing to another isolation room.  He looked at Chang Debing holding a metal bowl and placing it on the table.  Wu Yiping walked over and took a look and found that there were some small, gray-brown powder in the bowl.  Wu Yiping pinched it with his fingers and found that the particles were very even.

    "German soldier! Did you conduct any experiments after making it?"

    "Instructor! I have already tested it as soon as it was made. The explosion temperature is low, there is less smoke, and there is very little residue. During the experiment, I used an iron sheet underneath and found that the ablation was lighter, but the burning speed was not as fast as you said.  Quickly" Chang Debing carefully handled the small gray-brown particles and continued: "Although there are some shortcomings, I think it can be used to make the bullet propellant you mentioned."

    "Well, I came here just to try it out. If it works, I'll prepare for mass production."

    "Instructor, tell me how to try it, let me do it!"

    "Haha, this time you are watching from the side and you can see clearly how I copied it. From now on, you will be the one to experiment on your own."

    After Wu Yiping finished speaking, he took off a cloth bag hanging on his back. In fact, Wu Yiping's method was very simple. Didn't the battleship have an old-fashioned Mauser rifle and a handful of 10 rounds of ammunition?

    Wu Yiping took out a rifle and a round of bullets.  Carefully remove the bullet, pour out the original propellant, reinstall the propellant made by Chang Debing, and then install the bullet.

    Then Wu Yiping led Chang Debing to an open place, where a very huge target had been set up 200 meters away.

    Wu Yiping lay down on the ground, slowly calmed down, and took aim at three points and one line.  Wu Yiping does not need to hit the center of the target, as long as he does not miss the target and can find the warhead.

    Wu Yiping pulled the trigger when he was about to finish spitting out.  After the sound of "Bang!", a little smoke came out of the muzzle.  Wu Yiping felt that it was no different from shooting in the army before.

    After putting away the gun, he took Chang Debing and others and ran towards the target.  Then several people started looking for warheads.

    "Here, instructor. Chang Debing shouted excitedly to Wu Yiping." Wu Yiping went over and took a look. Fortunately, it was about a few dozen miles away from where he was aiming. Without a scope and no wind speed test,  This result is considered a passing grade.

    The two-centimetre-thick wooden board had been penetrated. Wu Yiping went around to the back and searched on the hillside behind the bullet hole. He easily found the bullet point.

    Use a dagger to dig it up gently, because the impact point happens to be soil.  So I found the warhead only after digging ten centimeters. I didn't hit anything particularly hard, so the deformation of the warhead was not very serious.

    Wu Yiping was very happy when he touched the warhead which still had some heat. He was finally going to embark on the path of thermal weapons.  Although the current steel requirements do not meet the requirements for making gun barrels in later generations, and the rifling marks will be smoothed out quickly,

    But Wu Yiping is still very happy. If the steel is not strong enough, then make the barrel thicker; if the rifling is easy to wear, then just make a musket without rifling.

    Wu Yiping believes that under his guidance, the talent he has just found, Zhao Dongxu, will soon be able to produce qualified steel. By then, the federation will be on a real fast track.
