Sun Buyi admitted that what Manfitin said is indeed reasonable at present. But that is under the premise that Germany does not form an alliance with Japan. Once Germany and Japan form an axis alliance, then the honeymoon period between Germany and China will

This will definitely be discontinued.

Therefore, Sun Buyi's purpose when it comes to arms deals with Germany is very clear. That is to earn the huge wealth Germany gained through the war, and then use the wealth earned to buy supplies he lacks, such as gasoline or food.

.

As the war continues, Germany's needs will become extremely huge. This is especially true when the German army is mired in the Soviet battlefield. And it can sell to Germany just like the United States passed the Lend-Lease Act to the Soviet Union.

It urgently needs all kinds of weapons and equipment. Compared with productivity, who can compare with its own base on the moon?

During World War II, the weapons and equipment manufactured by Germany did not have an overwhelming advantage over the United States and the Soviet Union, and the production quantity of various technical weapons was far less than that of the United States and the Soviet Union. The reason why Germany was

One of the main reasons why many astonishing victories were still achieved under such circumstances lies in Germany's world-leading tactical thinking.

For example, the theory of 'blitzkrieg' created by the famous German general Guderian was to concentrate the use of armored forces and use the speed of the armored forces to launch surprise attacks on the enemy. At that time, other countries' use of armored forces still remained at the level of generals.

The tanks were dispersed among the infantry units and used as supporting fire.

However, after Germany's enemies also learned this tactic, Germany's disadvantages were clearly exposed. Take heavy equipment such as tanks, for example. Throughout World War II, the United States produced a total of self-propelled artillery.

Including 110,000 tanks, the Soviet Union’s production reached 180,000. Looking at Germany, it only had 50,000 tanks!

In terms of various other transportation vehicles, the United States produced a total of about 880,000 vehicles during World War II, the Soviet Union produced 410,000 vehicles, and Germany only produced less than 300,000 vehicles.

Therefore, Sun Buyi believes that if some appropriate supplements are provided, Germany can persist longer. By then, the Soviet Union will be even weaker, and the United States will be stuck in the quagmire of the European battlefield and cannot extricate itself. Of course, the final victory will definitely be

They belonged to the Allied Powers, but everyone was victorious.

In this way, China's weight in this war will inevitably be greatly increased, and it will also gain more say when the new world order is re-established after the war.

"Mr. Manfitaine, I think the issue you mentioned is not reasonable to a certain extent. You must know that no one of us here has the power to change the direction of the entire country.

.In Asia, China is much weaker than Japan, so China and Germany will inevitably embark on two completely different paths in the future." Sun Buyi said while taking out a few coins from the briefcase beside him.

A drawing.

"But you and I are both businessmen. Since we are businessmen, no matter what the future holds, we will continue to do business. Out of gratitude, I would like to express my gratitude to Lieutenant General Falkenhausen for his service to China after he took office as the head of the military advisory group in China.

For the efforts and help the * team has put in, I am willing to provide Lord Falkenhausen with a weapon blueprint at the lowest price. Of course, this is just the beginning of our cooperation."

Falkenhausen took the drawing handed over by Sun Buyi and took a look at it. His expression suddenly changed, and then he handed the drawing to Manfitin who was sitting next to him.

Manfittain, who once worked as an engineer at the Krupp Arsenal, couldn't wait to take the drawing and looked at it carefully for a while. The expression on his face quickly changed from confusion when he first saw the drawing to shock.

Genius! The person who designed this weapon on the drawing is definitely a genius! Manfitan couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

The drawings Sun Buyi took out were actually the design drawings of the mg42 machine gun. As a man who has done a lot of research on light weapons, when he first saw these drawings, he immediately discovered the weapon on the drawings.

It is very similar to the mg34 machine gun currently used by the German Army.

To a certain extent, this drawing can be regarded as an improvement on the mg34 machine gun. But it is precisely this improvement that makes the mg34 machine gun and the machine gun in the drawing provided by Sun Buyi valuable.

The changes are so different that they are simply incomparable.

The mg34 machine gun made in Germany immediately became the main weapon of the German Army after it was installed. In the Spanish Civil War, German soldiers achieved good results when using the mg34 machine gun in combat. However, at the same time, the mg34 machine gun also had shortcomings.

It was exposed in that war.

First of all, the production of the mg34 machine gun takes too long, and the manufacturing cost is also very high. Each mg34 machine gun requires a solid piece of metal weighing 49 kilograms, which is drilled using lathes and milling machines.

This piece of metal is machined and polished.

After cutting off the unnecessary parts, the actual utilization rate of the solid metal weighing 49 kilograms is only a pitiful 25%. If we say that a lot of man-hours are consumed to manufacture the mg34 machine gun, it is still

It is worth the money, but the waste of metal materials makes Germany, an emerging capitalist country that is extremely short of mineral resources and overseas colonies, find it intolerable.

Although the machine gun designed on the drawing provided by Sun Buyi looks similar to the mg34, its production method uses a metal stamping process. This not only saves a lot of materials and man-hours, but also makes the machine gun itself more compact.

In addition, it is clearly stated on the drawing that the rate of fire of this machine gun reaches 1,500 rounds per minute! This terrifying speed is about one-third faster than the rate of fire of mg34.

The second step is the replacement of the barrel. Because the firing rate of the mg34 machine gun is not low, the barrel often needs to be replaced. However, the replacement is very troublesome. It is almost necessary to disassemble the entire machine gun before the barrel can be replaced.

As for the machine gun in the drawing, the barrel replacement device is simpler than the mg34 machine gun. Just pull a lever and tilt the gun body, and the barrel will automatically jump out. There is no need to disassemble the gun body, let alone

Touch the hot barrel with your hand, so it only takes a few seconds to replace a barrel! And on the battlefield, 'time is life' is definitely not an empty saying!

Looking at Manfitin who kept his head down and remained silent, Sun Buyi believed that the mg42 on the drawing must have deeply moved him. You must know that compared with the mg34 machine gun currently used by the German army, the cost of the mg42 machine gun is only mg34

70% of the MG34 machine gun, but the man-hours and materials required are only half of the MG34 machine gun.

This is definitely very beneficial to Germany, which lacks metal deposits and labor. Moreover, the mg42 machine gun is very reliable in actual combat. As an air-cooled machine gun, the mg42 can still remain stable even in the severe cold of minus 40 degrees.

The shooting speed!
