Chapter 57: Preparations before Departure (1)

双手熟练的抱着两个“小肉团”,二爷静静的坐在躺椅上,任由两个刚满月的小肉团在自己的怀里伸胳膊蹬腿的。

In his second life as a father, Er Ye was extremely familiar with taking care of the little one. However, in this life, Er Ye feared that he couldn't be a good father anymore, sighing at the thought.

There were too many "important" matters waiting for him to complete in this life. He couldn't spare time for his warm little family, nor could he afford to be a qualified father!~~~Take the opportunity to hug more now! Doesn't modern parenting books say that a father's embrace benefits a child's growth?

"Master! All the goods from Tianjin Port have been stored. Mr. Chen and Mr. Bellman are waiting for you in the living room!"

Xiaodezi looked at the master lying on the recliner, dressed in a soft silk home robe, and still holding two chubby dolls in his arms. How could he look like a ruthless big villain who wouldn't blink an eye? At this moment, the master seemed like a gentle and wealthy old gentleman, leisurely, kind, and amiable.

(The servants at home secretly refer to him as "Smiling Killer Second Master", because he kills people with a smile.)

Sigh! No rest for a moment! Second Master handed over the two little ones to Xiangcao and Xianglian, and came to the living room without even changing his clothes.

“埃里克先生!您吩咐的迫击炮和炮弹都做出来了。都是按着您设计的图纸精心打造的。就是没试炮!”

贝尔曼看见雇主埃里克走进屋里,技术宅的他急忙站起来,汇报二爷离开上海时交代的任务。

"Oh! This is great news! Shouting Brother, have you made both the military uniforms and flags? Mr. Berman, please have a seat, please sit! You are not my subordinate, no need to stand up to answer!"

看见贝尔曼不伦不类的起立立正,二爷有些好笑,又有些无奈。一边给二人倒着茶水,一边客套着。

自己在部下的面前越来越有威望,在大营里属下都把自己当长官,说话发言都要打“报告”,在家里下人们把自己当杀人魔,都尽量的躲着自己。

This is probably just one of the helplessness that comes with being a solitary person in a high position!

而这种朋友之间的平等互动,确实让二爷有时很稀罕。但他也知道,随着自己的事业越来越大,威望也会越来越高,这种平等互动的机会恐怕会很难得了!

"General Zhang! This is the school uniform you designed, hey! ~~~"

Chen Shouting gave a thumbs up. Of course! Second Lord copied the most handsome German military uniform from the previous world, which was widely recognized. Although it was worn by the notorious SS, you had to admit its excellent design.

“寿亭大哥!您可别抬举我了,什么都督?不就是个拿钱买来的官儿吗!还是叫老弟来的亲热!这是咱们共同的事业,只不过分工不同,离开谁都不行。”

"Alas~~~ I can't be spoken of like that! Although I, Chen Liozi, may lack education, I still understand the importance of respecting hierarchy."

"Well, don't be polite when at home! It feels uncomfortable!"

"Alright! I'll follow your little bro's lead!"

"What are you two talking about? I don't understand a single word!"

Belman, the tech geek who lacks social skills, curiously asked Er Ye what they were talking about. Translated: "

"Mr. Bellman! I'm sorry! I forgot that you don't understand Chinese."

"It doesn't matter! I really like the interpersonal relationships between family and friends in China. I really do! I enjoy listening to the interactions and dialogues between you all." Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

Okay! Er Ye, this is a misunderstanding about Bellman. It seems that this foreigner is adapting well to life in China.

For foreigners who come to China without any malicious intentions, they are full of curiosity about ancient China. In his past life, Er Ye neatly classified and understood such foreigners. Please note that the given Chinese text contains informal language and may include cultural or contextual references. Translations may not carry the same tone or meaning as the original text.

“Bellman! Did you just say that the mortar was made?”

“Yes, sir! But that's not important, what's important is that the helmet material you mentioned has been developed by our company, and its bulletproof performance is excellent!”

二爷一脸黑线!迫击炮没钢盔材料重要?不过对技术宅来说,一种新型材料确实比一件成品武器要有吸引力的多。

"Have the security measures been taken, Mr. Bellman!"

“这个先生你放心!所有的实验资料全部销毁了,连炉渣我都扔进黄浦江了。所有参与的人员,这次全部连他们家属全都调到北京来了。”

"That’s good! Let's go and inspect the cannons."

"Brother Shouting, do you want to watch the artillery training?"

二爷又用汉语问陈寿亭,现场观看火炮实验炮击可是很难得的。

“那走着?今天咱也开开眼!不过~~~我说,张大都督,就你设计的那小铁桶能打远吗?我怎么看着那么不靠谱呢!”

Chen Shuting saw mortars on the ship when he came to Tianjin. At that time, he did not know that it was a type of artillery, which exceeded his understanding of artillery. Not to mention him, even countries around the world only began to value the advantages of mortars in indirect fire during the development of trench warfare in the First World War. Various countries' armies started equipping themselves with a limited number of mortars and used them in war.

世界第一门真正的迫击炮则诞生在1904年的日俄战争期间,发明者是俄国炮兵大尉列昂尼德·尼古拉耶维奇·戈比亚托。

但这时的迫击炮弹是很原始的,并不像后世那样变态的杀伤力。

二爷重点剽窃的就是迫击炮的炮弹。迫击炮的炮身是毫无技术含量的,最起码没有任何不可跨越的技术障碍,任何国家都会制造,关键的就是迫击炮弹。

Why did Er Ye produce mortars first? It's because he discovered that the effective range of heavy machine guns in this era was only 5000 meters. Although 5000 meters may seem uncontrollable for the human eye, you never know when a blind cat may stumble upon a dead rat.

而希特勒电锯的精准有效射击距离是1200-1500米,所以二爷为了倪补自己部队的火力空白,拿出了一款射击距离5000多米的小型步兵支援迫击炮。

而二爷这货剽窃的就是他前世曾经亲自操作过的,中国人民解放军最著名的轻型迫击炮—pp93型60毫米远程迫击炮,其口径60.75毫米;全炮重22.4公斤,一个人就能扛着跑;配套的人员杀伤榴弹,是内部镶嵌有上万颗钢珠的爆破榴弹,每发重2.18千克;有效杀伤半径17.8米;最大射程5564米;最大射速20发/分钟。

看见它的恐怖了吧!杀伤半径17.8米,也就说在落地爆炸时,上万颗钢珠无差别暴击直径35米圆周内的一切人员及设备。

It has the advantages of simple structure, light weight, powerful firepower, long range, and good maneuverability. Its various combat performance indicators have surpassed the levels of similar weapons in the previous world. It was already in a leading position in the world at that time.

The only thing that makes Er Ye discontented is that the steel balls used for explosive and lethal purposes during the Republican era need to be imported as there are no domestic manufacturers producing steel balls in the country.

Er Ye can only sarcastically remark~~~ It's really ridiculous! Fortunately, steel balls of different diameters can be purchased from various trading firms as they are not included in the export ban.

所以二爷通过分散下单的方式订购了1000多吨的各类尺寸钢珠,弄的各洋行的买办们莫名其妙,不明白二爷订购这么多小尺寸的钢珠有什么用。

They don't know that this steel ball is the most terrifying murder weapon. In this era, personnel are mainly injured by shrapnel from shells or the shockwave caused by the explosion of shells.

所以,有些技术只是一层窗户纸的事儿,就看你能不能想到了。

来到打靶场,二爷把张三买来的10多头山羊和受伤已不能使用的马匹,分布在直径35米的圆周内,并在圆心竖了一面旗好作为瞄准测距的参照。

After everyone was settled, a firing position was set up at a distance of 5000 meters. This test firing was personally operated by Er Ye.

Because he was very familiar with this particular model of mortar. In his previous life, this divine cannon was equipped to the infantry platoon as infantry support firepower, with six cannons in each platoon. Translation:

In addition, Er Ye (Second Master) personally took charge this time with the intention of providing on-site teaching.

Zhang Muzhi and their comrades-in-arms heard about the live-fire test and all stopped their training to come and observe here at Er Ye's place.

Er Ye took a quick look and decided to directly start a live practical class on using mortars.

When a group of instructors followed Er Ye to inspect the results of the artillery fire, they were completely shocked by the horrifying scene in front of them. Chen Shouting and Bellman both immediately vomited.

只见实验场的动物们没有一个是完整的了,最外围的全被爆炸的钢珠给穿成了筛子,内围的就更惨了,你都分辨不出是什么动物了,地上是一滩滩的肉泥。

Sigh! There won't be any extra lamb dishes for dinner tonight.

Er Ye originally planned to recycle leftovers and make hot pot for everyone. Seeing the bombardment, it's no longer possible!

"Reporting to the commander! I have something to say!" Translation:

刘鼎臣立正打报告,要求发言。因为他能看懂,现场爆炸的炮弹不一般,他本身学的就是炮兵科。

"Speak!"

“请问长官!这是哪国生产的炮弹?”

“呵呵!~~~碰到内行了!你放心!这种炮弹短时间内还落不到咱们的头上。这是由我设计,贝尔曼先生实验生产的。是我们自己生产的炮弹,世界上没有第二家有这种炮弹。”

看见贝尔曼已经呕吐的眼泪都流出来了,二爷开玩笑的随口又道:

“这种特殊人员杀伤榴弹,就叫‘贝尔曼的眼泪’吧!”

To his surprise, with the "New Army" going South and fighting North, the fame of "Berman's Tears" resounded throughout the world.

Countries scrambled to imitate it. However, due to General Er's strict secrecy regarding the adhesive material for the steel beads inside the shells, when the imitated shells exploded, the beads did not spray individually but shattered in clusters like shell fragments. The killing effect was far inferior compared to "Berman's Tears."

This small artillery will be equipped by the platoon, and the soldiers will be informed that these projectiles are classified as top-level confidential firearms, just like machine guns. On the battlefield, in extremely urgent situations, they must be destroyed first and must not fall into the hands of the enemy!

"Yes! Commander! Absolutely not allowing the enemy to capture us!"

现场的军人齐声回答,不由得他们不重视!被敌人缴获?然后落到自己部队的头上?看看现场的肉泥,众人集体打了个冷战。

"This type of shell is easy to destroy, and can also be used as a hand grenade in critical situations. Follow me, I'll demonstrate."

Er Ye said as he picked up a mortar shell, leading everyone to the shelter in the test field. In front of everyone, he removed the balancing tail fin of the mortar shell, and pressed the timed explosion device on the inner side of the propellant tube. Then he said to everyone:

"Remember! Press this here, and the explosion will be delayed by 10 seconds. Make sure the soldiers remember this!"

Saying these words, he then disabled the collision safety of the warhead, tapped the mortar shell against a rock, and immediately threw it out of the trench.

Immediately, the sound of an explosion nearby and the whistling of steel beads flying over their heads resonated in the ears of the crowd.
