"And after you return to the Ministry of War, be sure to tell the Military Supply Bureau to strictly control the production of rifles!
It is expected that it won't be long before we need to replace the rifles again!"
Jerome Bonaparte once again revealed his plan to Montauban, planning to fully equip the army with the Mauser breech-loading rifles by the end of 1857 at the latest.
Upon hearing Jerome Bonaparte's plan, Montauban showed a slightly surprised expression on his face and immediately promised that he would convey his words to the Military Supply Bureau.
"By the way, the next model of the rifle will first be equipped in Algeria, don't drop the ball on me as the Governor of Algiers!" Jerome Bonaparte said in a casual manner.
"Your Majesty, will the next model of the rifle still be a muzzleloader?" Montauban immediately asked Jerome Bonaparte.
"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Montauban, "The next type of rifle will be a breech-loading rifle!"
