The northern government was bogged down in difficulties, the south government also very many. First is the internal right struggle, southern confederation government that just formed, is various provinces compromises completely, the balanced result. 北方政府陷入困境,南方政府也好不了多少。首先就是内部权利斗争,刚刚组建起来的南方邦联政府,完全是各州妥协、平衡的结果。 As the small and crude theatrical troupe that forms temporarily, the execution naturally cannot count on. Most business must establish in situation that in the State authority coordinates, can carry out. 作为一个临时组建起来的草台班子,执行力自然是不能够指望。大部分事务都要建立在州政府配合的情况下,才能执行下去。 Under dual leadership, various inevitable appearance confusions. 在双重领导下,不可避免的出现各种混乱。 After Cincinnati Battle wins, should while winning the pursuit, focuses on smashing the industrial center of northern government at one fell swoop, the result southern government is actually hitting out in all directions. 辛辛那提会战胜利过后,本该趁胜追击,集中力量一举端掉北方政府的工业中心,结果南方政府却在四面出击。 Launched the attack to Maryland and Binxi Falla province, Indiana and he/she agile province, Iowa and other contiguous areas. 先后向马里兰州、宾西法利亚州、印第安纳州、伊利落州、衣阿华州等接壤地区发起进攻。 The fighting method of four sides blossoming was seemingly mammoth, realized beyond the defend entrance, but this also lost ended the opportunity of war fast. 四面开花的打法看上去声势浩大,实现了御敌国门之外,可是这也丧失了快速结束战争的机会。 This deadlock war is the big powers most likes, the arms dealers in the world converge North America, wants to carve up this grand feast. 这种僵持战是列强最喜欢的,全世界的军火商人都云集北美,想要瓜分这场盛宴。 Asking that in a Missouri manor, master John Casey smiles: „Feiker, discussed how?” 密苏里州一座庄园内,主人约翰-凯西笑眯眯的问:“菲克尔,谈的怎么样了？” Feiker said dejectedly: „ Not to mention, friend of mine. This business had no way to do, the State authority must purchase the breech rifle unexpectedly. 菲克尔垂头丧气的说:“别提了,我的朋友。这笔生意没法做了,州政府居然要采购后膛步枪。 God, now the world's mainstream weapon is the muzzle-loading rifle. What the bullet installs to be loaded with distinguish with behind from front, isn't shoots? ” 上帝,现在世界主流武器就是前膛步枪。况且,子弹从前面装和后面装有什么区别,不都是射出去么？” For this war, Feiker did 200 artilleries and 30,000 rifles, prepared to seize the chance to gain one. The artillery naturally was the high price sold, but the rifle did not have good luck that. 为了这次战争,菲克尔搞来了两百门火炮和三万条步枪,准备趁机赚上一笔。火炮自然是高价卖了出去,可是步枪就没那么好运了。 The wartime years, everyone is most realistic, what weapon is easy-to-use, uses what weapon. Without a doubt, can lie the breech rifle of hitting, be more competitive than the muzzle-loading gun. 战争年代,大家是最现实的,什么武器好用,就用什么武器。毫无疑问,可以趴着打的后膛步枪,要比前膛枪更加有竞争力。 The southern government was in an inferior position in the manpower, although by historical 1 : 2 rose 2 : 3, but they refused stubbornly, the State authority wanted to reduce the soldier casualties as far as possible. 南方政府本来就在人力上处于劣势,虽然由历史上的1:2上升到了2:3,但他们还是死不起,州政府想要尽可能的减少士兵伤亡。 John Casey shrugged saying: „ Sorry, in this issue I could not help you. If the ordinary period, convincing the State authority purchases a number of weapons is not difficult, but the present is in time of war. 约翰-凯西耸了耸肩说:“抱歉,这个问题上我帮不了你。如果是平常时期,说服州政府采购一批武器不难,但现在是战争时期。 We must consider that the opinion of military, all won the war. The breech rifle that Austria provides altruistic is truly easy-to-use, I have also tested personally. 我们必须要考虑军方的意见,一切都是赢得战争。奥地利人提供的后膛步枪确实好用,我还亲自试用过。 Rate of fire, the hit probability has very big enhancement. The only weakness, is the firing distance is not very probably far, but this is not what weakness. 无论是射速,还是命中率都有很大的提高。唯一的弱点,大概是射程不够远,不过这也算不上什么弱点。 On the battlefield, most soldiers can only have the hit probability in 200 meters, 800 meters firing distance was enough. ” 战场上面,大部分士兵都只能在两百米内有命中率可言,八百米的射程足够了。” Feiker seeks vengeance saying: „Damn, since you know why didn't tell me? Harmed I waste the energy in vain, if we had known north went, I looked came in your face.” 菲克尔报怨道:“该死,你既然知道为什么不告诉我呢？害的我白白浪费精力,早知道就去北方了,我可是看在你的面子上才过来的。” John Casey said coolly: „This is also not yourself creates, is who told me, was the weapon in his hand the entire world is most advanced?” 约翰-凯西面不改色的说:“这还不是你自己造成的,是谁告诉我,他手中的武器是全世界最先进的？” Feiker said discontentedly: „My batch of spears/guns are the entire world are truly most advanced, at least in the muzzle-loading gun is this.” 菲克尔不满的说:“我的这批枪确实是全世界最先进的,至少在前膛枪中是这样的。” John Casey said reluctantly: „ Good, so, this is not even useful. Who made you come late, if one month, this batch of spear/gun governments open wide the purchase in the morning. 约翰-凯西无奈的说:“好吧,就算是如此,这也没有什么用。谁让你来晚了呢,如果早上一个月,这批枪政府都是敞开收购。 Now is not good, the fact had shown, the muzzle-loading gun was being eliminated. The government will not crack a joke with the life of soldier, purchases this batch of backwardness to equip. 现在不行了,事实已经证明,前膛枪正在被淘汰。政府不会拿士兵的生命开玩笑,采购这批落后装备的。 Or you re-equip this batch of spears/guns, I looked to re-equip the breech rifle is not difficult. Although increased a little cost, can't gain in behind? ” 要不你把这批枪改装一下,我看过了改装成后膛步枪不难。虽然增加了一点儿成本,不都可以在后面赚回来么？” A Feiker brow wrinkle, the dissatisfaction flashes to pass. The re-equipping said simply, but here is not Europe, but is southern US, is capable of re-equipping the factory of rifle to be possible few. 菲克尔眉头一皱,不满的情绪一闪而逝。改装说起来简单,可是这里不是欧洲,而是美国南方,有能力改装步枪的工厂可没有几家。 But one of them, is the weapon factory of John Casey. Said is the weapon factory, in fact also just rebuilt. 而其中之一,就是约翰-凯西的兵工厂。说是兵工厂,实际上也只是刚刚改建的。 Before north-south splits, but also is only a machine shop. However John Casey is astute, the south just announced that was independent he to order the equipment from Europe, dug the person from the domestic several ordnance factories, turned into the weapon factory the machine shop. 在南北分裂前,还只是一家机械厂。不过约翰-凯西精明,南方刚宣布独立他就从欧洲订购了设备,又从国内的几家兵工厂挖人,把机械厂变成了兵工厂。 Temporarily the small and crude theatrical troupe of establishment, must research and develop the new-style weapon, is naturally impossible to achieve. 临时创立的草台班子,要研发新式武器,自然是不可能做到的。 The capacity has not met the expectation of John Casey, now each month can only make 3 artilleries, 800 rifles and 50,000 rounds of bullets. 产能也没有达到约翰-凯西的预期,现在每个月仅能生产三门火炮、八百条步枪、五万发子弹。 To display the production line the complete capacity, does not have 1-2 years, is not possible to achieve. 想要发挥生产线的全部产能,没有1-2时间,是不可能做到的。 Obviously this was John Casey and others. Who knows how long this civil war will hit, once the war ended, the weapon factory wants to survive is a difficult problem. 显然这是约翰-凯西等不了的。谁知道这次内战会打多久,一旦战争结束,兵工厂想要生存下来都是一个难题。 The emergence of breech rifle, brought the favorable turn to John Casey. Re-equips the muzzle-loading rifle, without doubt making a rifle is much quicker. 后膛步枪的出现,给约翰-凯西带来了转机。改装前膛步枪,无疑要比生产一条步枪要快得多。 By his relations in Missouri, sold to the government by the price of new spear/gun the refitted old spear/gun, completely does not have any issue. 以他在密苏里州的关系,把改装后的旧枪以新枪的价格卖给政府,完全没有任何问题。 However, is not the spear/gun can re-equip, some rifle re-equipping are easy, some rifles re-equip the gain does not equal the loss. 不过,也不是什么枪都可以改装的,有的步枪改装容易,有的步枪改装起来得不偿失。 Feiker these tens of thousands rifles, suit the re-equipping without doubt. Among two people the relations are good, in the face of the benefit, the relations are most unreliable. 菲克尔这几万条步枪,无疑是适合改装的。两人之间的关系还不错,不过在利益面前,关系是最靠不住的。 The weapon factory equipment of John Casey buys from Feiker hand, now the geomancy transfers in turn, this time he prepares to butcher a Feiker blade ruthlessly. 约翰-凯西的兵工厂设备就是从菲克尔手中买到的,现在风水轮流转,这次他准备狠宰菲克尔一刀。 As for Feiker can reject, naturally cannot. So long as thinks with the brain, knows this batch of spears/guns in the south won't sell, to the north or won't sell. 至于,菲克尔会不会拒绝,自然是不会了。只要用脑子想想,都知道这批枪在南方卖不动,到了北方还是卖不动。 Cannot count on arms dealer who Austria benefits, but sells the weapon to the southern government, doesn't sell the munitions to give the northern government? 总不能指望奥地利的军火商人,只是给南方政府推销武器,就不卖军火给北方政府吧？ The breech rifle is not the high-tech product, attained the sample wants to copy also on the moon/month, Austria benefits , if not sell various European countries to sell. 后膛步枪又不是什么高科技产品,拿到了样品想要仿造也就个把月的时间,奥地利要是不卖欧洲各国还是会卖。 The north government also meets knockoff. Now but the US isn't the world's first knockoff great nation, plagiarizing a model of rifle easy? 况且,北方政府还会自己山寨。现在美国可是世界第一山寨大国,抄袭一款步枪还不容易？ Left the US market, wants to sell again these tens of thousands rifles, that was difficult. The transportation cost that this must consider to increase, might as well chooses the cooperation, many can gain. 离开了美国市场,再想要把这几万条步枪推销出去,那就难了。这还要考虑增加的运输成本,还不如选择合作,多少都可以赚点儿。 Feiker said directly: „Good, the friend of mine opens a price, so long as the price were appropriate I to sell to you.” 菲克尔直接说道:“好吧,我的朋友开个价吧,只要价格合适我就卖给你了。” As a qualified arms merchant, since guessed correctly goal of John Casey, he naturally cannot choose to re-equip, again by a pit sum of money. 作为一名合格的军火商,既然猜到了约翰-凯西的目的,他自然不会选择改装,再被坑一笔钱。 John Casey offers to say with a laugh: „25,000 pounds.” 约翰-凯西笑呵呵的报价道:“两万五千英镑。” Heard this number, Feiker got angry immediately, stood saying: „How don't you snatch?” 听到了这个数字,菲克尔立即就怒了,站起来说:“你怎么不去抢？” John Casey comforts saying: „ As for making much ado about nothing, friend of mine. Business is business, this type of eliminated weapon, now is not valuable. 约翰-凯西安慰道:“至于大惊小怪么,我的朋友。在商言商,这种被淘汰的武器,现在已经不值钱了。 Besides conducting re-equipping, you can only sell to the indigenous tribe, so many spears/guns did you prepare to sell that year to go? 除了进行改装外,你就只能卖给土著部落,这么多枪你准备卖到那年去？ I purchase this batch of spears/guns to conduct the re-equipping risky , the re-equipping requires the time, if the civil war ended suddenly, that pounded completely in the hand. 我收购这批枪进行改装也是有风险的,改装需要时间,万一内战突然结束,那就全部砸在手上了。 Looks in the face of old friend, I add 3000 pounds again, this is the maximum valency. 看在老朋友的面子上,我再加三千英镑,这已经是最高价了。 You must know that the southern government just and Austria advantage signed the huge military order, they sold 200,000 breech rifles to give the southern government one time. ” 你要知道南方政府刚刚和奥地利签订了巨额军事订单,他们一次性卖了二十万条后膛步枪给南方政府。” Feiker complexion big change, this without doubt is a bad news. Along with and him returned to normal, 200,000 rifles are seemingly many, in fact disperses after 14 confederation provinces, average each province also less than 15,000 rifles. 菲克尔脸色大变,这无疑是一个坏消息。随及他又恢复了正常,二十万条步枪看起来很多,实际上分散在十四个邦联州后,平均下来每个州还不到一万五千条步枪。 This cannot meet everyone's need by far, particularly to Missouri this type situated in the frontline province, is futile attempt. 这远远不能够满足大家的需求,尤其是对密苏里这种处于前线的州,更是杯水车薪。 The muzzle-loading gun does not sell, that is because in American hand had many. In state that this all the people hold a gun, without a own spear/gun, said embarrassed oneself are an American. 前膛枪不好卖,那是因为美国人自己手中就有很多了。在这个全民持枪的国度,要是没有一支属于自己的枪,都不好意思说自己是美国人。 Feiker bargained back and forth: „100,000 pounds, this is floor price on the world weapons market.” 菲克尔讨价还价道:“十万英镑,这已经是国际军火市场上的最低价了。” After pondering the moment time, John Casey offers to say again: „29,000 pounds, who lets us is an old friend!” 沉思了片刻功夫后,约翰-凯西再次报价道:“两万九千英镑,谁让我们是老朋友呢！” „95,000 pounds, cannot be low.” “九万五千英镑,不能够再低了。” „I add 2000 pounds again, cannot be high.” “我再加两千英镑,不能够再高了。” ...... ……
