Chapter 473 Submachine gun

"Mr. Beker, I'm really sorry. The war is imminent and the commander-in-chief has already inspected the military industrial enterprises." Yuan Jinkai explained.

"I very much hope to meet Mr. Zhang and communicate with him. I think there should not be a war between China and Japan. Each country should set up a special investigation team to investigate clearly what happened in Lianyungang. This should not be allowed to happen.

This incident became the trigger for the war in the Far East."

Yuan Jinkai listened carefully to Baike's words. It seemed that the United States actually wanted to mediate the conflict and did not care too much about the equipment in Lianyungang. This really made Yuan Jinkai a little happy.

"Fengtian is naturally peace-loving and does not want war, but it is not afraid of war. Our army, military industrial enterprises, workers and farmers are all ready for a full-scale war. I can also tell you a piece of news, Fengtian

The army has established a new bomber squadron, and once Japan uses force against the Feng army, we will cut off the Siberian Railway."

What? When Bakr heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said loudly: "No, absolutely not. Doing this will only benefit the majority party in Russia and undermine the overall situation of interfering in Russia."

"There is an old saying in China that it is better to be in pieces than in ruins. Japan is determined to invade China and can use any means. If the Siberian Railway is not destroyed, the Japanese army can invade the Northeast from the north at any time. It has to be

Be on guard."

When Bakr heard this, he waved his hands again and again. If the Siberian Railway was really broken, it would be completely impossible to intervene in Russia's war. The Americans were absolutely unwilling to see this, so he still wanted to persuade him.

Yuan Jinkai said with a smile: "Mr. Baiker, the commander-in-chief has made a decision at the meeting. We are fighting for survival. Taking a step back will mean death. The only one who can really prevent this tragedy is Japan. They gave up their invasion of Northeast China.

Everything will turn around, otherwise everything would be difficult to say."

When Baiker heard this, he also knew that Fengtian's will could not be changed, so he hurriedly turned around and left. He was going to contact other powers to come up with a plan to prevent the war between China and Japan.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan was inspecting the production situation at Fengtian Arsenal. The atmosphere of war with Japan was getting stronger and stronger. Although Zhang Tinglan wanted to avoid war, some things were still unpredictable. He must ensure the stability of military production and cope with unexpected situations.

As Tao Jiping walked, he introduced the production situation to Zhang Tinglan: "Commander-in-Chief, since we obtained the American rifle and bullet production lines, our production capacity has increased by leaps and bounds. If fully mobilized, we can produce 300,000 to 500,000 rifles a year.

Rifles are enough to equip the entire army. In addition, we have made great progress in artillery. Every month we can produce thirty 76mm mountain guns and more than a thousand other mortars."

After hearing this, Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly: "Rifles can meet the needs, but apart from mortars, there are still many shortcomings in other mountain artillery and field artillery. Even if Jilin Arsenal and Harbin are added together, the number is still seriously insufficient.

"

"Well, what the commander-in-chief said is right. Jilin has transferred the production of small-caliber artillery to us. They are going all out to produce large-caliber heavy artillery, but they can only produce eight to ten 152mm howitzers per month, which is not enough in a year.

There are only about a hundred doors, so the gap is indeed not small."

Tao Jiping is now in charge of the entire army's equipment, and he is very familiar with these things. He said with a wry smile: "In the final analysis, it is still a problem of equipment. Through hard work, our workers have almost tapped the potential of Russia's equipment to the maximum extent. However,

The production capacity of Russian equipment itself is limited, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw."

"There is no need to worry. A batch of important equipment will be shipped back to Fengtian soon. By then, we will be able to produce machinery and equipment by ourselves. The quality may not be as good as that of foreign products, but at least it is our own stuff. You can get as much as you want. Rely on

With the scale, the output of the military industry can be doubled, and the output of artillery must be increased tenfold within five years. The varieties must also be enriched, and ultra-large-caliber heavy artillery must be produced to attack strong fortresses, as well as naval guns.

In addition, we have equipped armored vehicles. The next step is to equip tanks. If there is a spear, there must be a shield. We must also study anti-tank guns and complete the weapon systems."

"Commander-in-Chief, you came to the factory once and doubled the target. It is not easy to say!" Tao Jiping sighed and said: "There are only a handful of countries in the world that can produce various types of artillery. Basically,

If those great powers and the three eastern provinces are solved, wouldn’t we also become a member of the great powers?”

"Don't Minister Tao have this ambition? China has not been a great power since ancient times, but a hegemon! When it comes to national strength, before the industrial revolution, the entire Western world was no match for us. It has been a super overlord for two thousand years. Although it is now in decline

Yes, but becoming a great power is not our goal, but to return to the position of hegemony, to be arrogant in the world, and to have all nations come to court!"

Tao Jiping did not expect Zhang Tinglan to have such ambitions, so he just smiled and said: "The Commander-in-Chief's magnanimity is impressive. Indeed, China has always been a celestial country. If it cannot restore its former glory, it will be a disgrace to its ancestors. But Commander-in-Chief

, please also tell me, what good things did we get in Europe that gave you such courage?"

Ambition must be based on strength. Zhang Tinglan dared to call out the goal of overlord, which proves that at least he is sure to become a great power. So how to become a great power? The method is also very simple, that is, to defeat another great power. Now it seems that the goal should be

Japan.

Tao Jiping was not involved in the core secrets and did not know what was actually obtained in Europe, but judging from the current situation, it is definitely a rare treasure, otherwise Zhang Tinglan would not be so enthusiastic.

"It's not that big of a deal. It's just optical glass technology, a three-thousand-ton forging press, synthetic ammonia technology, three to five thousand precision machine tools, automobile and tractor production lines, shipbuilding equipment for producing 10,000-ton giant ships, and a

A large number of technical data and professional talents.”

Every time Zhang Tinglan said something, Tao Jiping's mouth opened wide. Later, he could hardly close it. All of these things can fill the gaps in the Northeast industry. As long as they can be obtained, digested and absorbed, Fengjun's industry

The level is not much worse than that of the Japanese.

No wonder Zhang Tinglan has such courage. It turns out that he has these things as support and is not just firing off random cannons. Tao Jiping also seemed to see countless golden mountains, and his eyes were shining.

"Commander-in-Chief, I just realized that the things in Lianyungang are really not worth mentioning. You have got such a treasure! I just don't know how long it will take to transport it back. The military industry in Fengtian is eagerly looking forward to it.

!”

"There are too many things, so I can only pick up the important ones and transport them back first, and transport the others in batches. They will all be in place within half a year. In addition, I asked Xia Han to register several factories in the United States, and under the banner of Americans, I collected

After collecting some German professionals, they will find ways to recruit them to China and let them serve the Fengjun Army. The next three to five years will be a critical period for the rapid development of our military industry. Minister Tao, you have to come up with something.

A complete development plan and detailed planning will allow us to quickly catch up with the Japanese."

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the military industry enterprises have been holding back their energy for a long time. As long as the technical equipment arrives, no matter how hard they work, they will understand these things thoroughly and produce results!"

Zhang Tinglan also nodded and said with a smile: "Minister Tao, in addition to the long-term goal, there is another task for you for the time being. We also need to develop new weapons to make up for the lack of firepower."

As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan asked others to bring a gun and placed it in front of Tao Jiping. Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "This is the MP18 submachine gun developed in Germany. It is light and flexible, can be used by a single soldier, and can be used continuously like a machine gun."

Shooting, somewhere between a pistol and a rifle, is a weapon used by soldiers during assault."

The MP18 submachine gun was the first submachine gun put into actual combat in the world. It had stable performance and powerful firepower. It caused great damage to the Allied Powers on the battlefield. However, after its invention, Germany was already in decline and was unable to recover.

Zhang Tinglan sent a team to hunt for bargains in Europe. In addition to looking at machinery and equipment, he also had a lot of observations about new European weapons. Xia Han was born in the army and knew the value of submachine guns very well, so he took advantage of the chaos to get more than 20 new weapons from Germany.

A submachine gun.

Guns are relatively small in size, unlike machines and equipment, and are easier to transport. Xia Han sent them back to Fengtian early and asked the arsenal to copy them.

In fact, in history, China also made a large number of imitation MP18 submachine guns. Because the barrel of this gun has a large number of heat dissipation holes, it is called a flower machine gun. Due to restrictions by the great powers, China cannot sell heavy weapons and has a serious shortage of machine guns.

, so the submachine gun has become a treasure, and is equipped with all the major warlords in China.

Fengjun can produce weapons on its own, so of course it is not as embarrassed as other warlords, but submachine guns are also a very important light weapon and must be equipped with troops.

Tao Jiping took the submachine gun, looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help but admire: "Commander-in-Chief, this gun has an exquisite design and a simple structure. It must be very convenient to maintain on the battlefield. As for more details, it needs to be disassembled carefully."

Research. But one thing is certain, there is absolutely no problem in imitation. The barrel of the gun is similar to that of a pistol, so there will be no difficulty."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Minister Tao, this is the latest weapon. According to normal experience, it must have flaws. Xia Han also sent some soldiers' actual experience of using it. The snail-shaped drum used in it is not good.

, there are too many problems, and the design of the firing pin is also superfluous. Just change it to a traditional fixed type!"

What Zhang Tinglan said was not only the information given by Xia Han, but also happened to read an introduction to the flower machine gun in his previous life, so he could give some mature opinions.

Tao Jiping nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, we will study it carefully and come up with the finished product as soon as possible. If the little devils dare to start a war, the submachine gun will become their nightmare!" (To be continued...)
