When visiting, Wang Jiuling found that this production line was not much different from Xikang's production line, and the rifles were also different from those used by Wang Jiuling before.
Julian Mauser saw Wang Jiuling's doubts and said, in fact, such a production line was officially influenced by Xikang and was built not long ago. It is still in the experimental stage because many German firearms experts and technicians believe that traditional craftsmanship
Although the production speed is slower, the rifle production will be better. It is very important for soldiers to have a good weapon on the battlefield, and the chance of survival will be much higher.
Although assembly line production is much faster, such cheap things may not be practical on the battlefield, so there is a lot of internal debate now, but there are more people who advocate the use of traditional processes, and no one at Mauser understands assembly lines at present.
So we built this production line first
As for the rifle, it was the latest Mauser model, Mauser 98k. Wang Jiuling picked up a manufactured gun and looked at it carefully. He found that there were many similarities with the Chinese model. It seemed that Mauser had copied the Chinese model.
The rifle was a little too good, but Wang Jiuling didn't point it out because it was boring. But Julian Mauser saw Wang Jiuling pick up the gun and study it carefully. His ears and face immediately turned red, and his heart beat a lot faster.
"This rifle is very good. Is it produced on an assembly line?" Wang Jiuling asked Julian after studying the Mauser 98k; Mauser
Julian Mauser said: "Yes, we have also tested it with the 98k rifle produced by traditional craftsmanship, but we did not find any difference between them, so please give some advice, General?" Julian Mauser
Se was very humble when she spoke.
Wang Jiuling said: "I don't dare to give you advice, but I can tell you why our country adopts assembly line production."
Julian Mauser: "All ears!"
Wang Jiuling said: "The first is that our country's education level is backward, and traditional technology requires production personnel to have very advanced academic qualifications. This country cannot do it. At least it cannot use traditional technology to produce hundreds of thousands of rifles per month. That requires
There are countless talents, and I, a small warlord, do not have that much appeal. Secondly, my country is suffering from domestic and foreign troubles, and I am surrounded by enemies. If a large-scale war breaks out, it is estimated that the front line may consume tens of thousands of guns in a month.
There are even more rifles. If traditional craftsmanship is used, with the few talents in China, it is estimated that there are only tens of thousands of rifles a month, which is not even enough to consume, let alone train other armies. Modern warfare is all about steel, Julian
Sir, you should know better than anyone that without steel, the war will be lost. As for assembly line production, individuals do not need to know much about firearms. As long as they understand the production of one of the components, we are setting a standard, and he only needs to produce according to this standard.
Therefore, the assembly line is very suitable for China's national conditions. The output of the third assembly line is much larger than that of traditional production. As far as I know, your country's defeat in World War I was because the front line did not have enough ammunition, so it could not effectively launch an offensive, so it missed the battle.
There are many good opportunities, but the people in the rear rioted because they had no supplies. Just imagine if your country had adopted assembly line production at that time, I believe your logistics would not be so tight."
Julian Mauser said: "I seem to understand!"
Wang Jiuling actually hopes that Germany will take less detours. He hopes that Germany will be stronger. If the Second World War in this era is more brutal than the Second World War in history, the greater the benefit to China will be.
Wang Jiuling said: "Actually, we in Xikang have a good idea of the quality of the products on the assembly line. Our rifles have been tested by war and proven to be very safe and reliable guns. In our country's Chahar Province, there is no such thing as a rifle with several
The army of ten thousand people is equipped with medium-sized rifles and has been competing with the Japanese for several months. The soldiers' reaction is that this is the best gun they have ever used."
Julian Mauser looked at Wang Jiuling, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Wang Jiuling added: "Actually, Germany and China are the same. If they want to become strong, there is no other way except war. Those aggressors will not give up the benefits they have obtained to others. Your Rhineland is still in France."
Under the control of the Belgians, the German people there are oppressed by the French and Belgians. Unless your country has given up on the Germans there, it must rely on force to regain its territory. As far as I know, your new prime minister
Mr. Hitler is definitely not a cowardly person. On the contrary, I think he is a very tough person. I believe that within three to five years he will definitely send troops to recover the Rhineland. If that happens, there will be friction with Britain and France. By then
I'm afraid war is inevitable. Even if there is no war here, Danzig is still in the hands of Poland, and it has been clearly divided to Poland. Will the Poles be willing to return Danzig to Germany? I believe not, if so
The Poles are so good that they gave them back to Germany a long time ago, so they still have to go to war. And Poland also has millions of troops, and they can recruit more soldiers. In addition, haven't they formed a group with France, Austria and other countries to prevent the rise of Germany?
An organization? If Germany goes to war against Poland, it will be a war against Europe. The British will not watch France kill Germany, so they will definitely help France to attack Germany. Likewise, the United States will not watch them share the same ancestors.
Britain was killed by Germany. If you go to war with the British, the Americans will naturally help the British. One war will explain everything."
Wang Jiuling paused and added: "There is also Soviet Russia, which is more powerful than Russia in World War I. They are already experimenting with planned economy and developing heavy industry with all their strength. It is estimated that when Germany is really capable of launching a war, Soviet Russia's heavy industry system will also be
It has been completed a long time ago. Think about it, Soviet Russia is different from France and Poland. They have no shortage of domestic resources, such as iron, oil, coal, whatever they want. By then they can build hundreds of thousands of airplanes. They
You can also recruit 20 to 30 million soldiers, and as many artillery pieces as you want, and then fight Germany. The combat effectiveness of Soviet Russia was at the end of World War I. Other European countries sent troops to encircle and suppress them. The armies of so many countries, as well as Belarus
Help, you see, they have all been beaten back. At that time, they were still short of food, clothing, and ammunition. At that time, Soviet Russia had not controlled the entire Russia, but now they control the entire Russia, and the population under their control is two times that of Germany.
times, the land and resources are much greater than those of Germany. Mr. Julian Mauser, will traditional craftsmanship be able to meet the needs of Germany's nearly ten million soldiers by then? I'm afraid even the workers on these assembly lines will have to go there by then.
The frontline is protecting the country. At that time, you can only arrange women and children to produce supplies like you did in World War I. Do you think they can still produce good rifles using traditional craftsmanship?"
Wang Jiuling's words made Julian Mauser feel suffocated. Julian Mauser was forty years old and knew that what Wang Jiuling said was true. If Germany wants to rise, it must conquer all European countries, otherwise Germany will only be defeated.
There is only one way. Germany's end at that time might be worse than the end of World War I.
Everything Wang Jiuling said is true. As a European, Julian and Mauser are very aware of the complex relationships in Europe. It seems that the assembly line should not only be widely used in Mauser, but also be promoted to all parts of Germany, for the sake of the Germanic nation.
This must be done for the revival of
Afterwards, Wang Jiuling and the people from Mauser had a pleasant dinner. During the dinner, the two sides discussed Soviet Russia, which was the greatest threat to Germany. The United States and Germany were separated by a wide Atlantic Ocean. They were not very worried, but Soviet Russia was.
Recently, Wang Jiuling said that the Soviet Union would become an economy second only to the United States after completing the second industrial plan by the end of 1938, and all of it would be heavy industry, which made people on Mauser's side, especially Julian;
Mauser already admired Wang Jiuling because Wang Jiuling saw the situation so thoroughly.
