Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2370 is outrageous

The technology of the Americans is already scumbag, and the technology of the Japanese is even more scumbag. A country that can't even make a pistol well can only be said to be a manifestation of the great god Amaterasu to rank among the great powers.

One of the most bewildering things about the Japanese is their extreme self-confidence.

It doesn't matter if the pistol is not well made. There are so many excellent pistols in the world, and Browning and Mauser cannot be learned. Could it be that even Kimberly can't learn?
The Japanese just hold on to the bastard box, and the pistol that Japanese military officers are unwilling to use to commit suicide is so unreliable.

The technical content of anti-aircraft machine guns is much higher than that of pistols. The Japanese were not equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns at first, because there was no room for anti-aircraft machine guns in East Asia. It was not until 1925 that Japan developed the first anti-aircraft machine gun.

It is said to be an anti-aircraft machine gun. In fact, it is the Taisho three-year type, which is the imitation model of Hotchkiss, with a bracket installed. The soldiers even lie on the ground when shooting. The Japanese created a new term for this, called "Sleeping Shooting" ".

This machine gun was not successful. The three-year-type anti-aircraft machine gun used by the Japanese army in the [-]th Battle did not shoot down any aircraft, and the three-year-type anti-aircraft machine gun became a joke.

In fact, the Japanese cannot be blamed for this. There are many excellent machine guns in the world. The general-purpose machine gun developed in southern Africa, and the G42 equipped by Germany, aside from the G[-] equipped by Germany, Japan still has the ability to imitate Maxim.

The point is not that you can't make it, but that you can't afford it.

Japan is short of resources, everything has to be thrifty, general-purpose machine guns and G42 can fire up to 1200 rounds, even if Japan imitates them, they can’t afford them, and they don’t have so many bullets to consume. Field learned, installing a partition in the magazine to control the rate of fire.

After the failure of the Taisho Three-Year Style, Japan introduced the Hatchkiss 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun from France. Although this anti-aircraft machine gun is not excellent, it is much better than the Taisho Three-Year Style. The Japanese army finally has a usable anti-aircraft machine gun. machine gun.

Although the Hotchkiss is easy to use, with the tripod and aiming device, the total weight reaches 375 kg, which is too heavy for the Japanese army. It not only consumes more resources, but also is not conducive to movement. The Japanese army does not have as many as the southern African army. car.

The Japanese are good at flexibility. Since Hotchkiss is too heavy, they remove the tripod, simplify the aiming device, and try every means to reduce the weight.

In this way, although the weight is reduced, the performance is greatly reduced, and there is still a gap between the monkey version of the weapon and the original version.

And the crux of the problem is that in 1943, in order to strengthen the defense capabilities of fighter planes, the Allied forces were desperately adding armor to the planes. The "Super Sky Fortress" in southern Africa has the same armor plate thickness as the "Leopard" tank. The 20mm machine gun may not be able to penetrate, and the 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun is almost like tickling.

What's more, it's not shooting at close range, but at an altitude of thousands of meters, which makes Hotchkiss helpless.

The pilots of the "Super Sky Fortress" are very familiar with the air defense capabilities of the Japanese army, so they stabilized their flying altitude at around 6000 meters.

This aroused the protest of Colonel Beaufort.

"6000 meters is too high, it's beyond the visual range of the grenadier, and it's impossible to visually guide the 'pure azimuth'." Colonel Beaufort hopes to reduce the altitude to about 3000 meters, and after the bomb is dropped, At least 30 seconds of stable flight must be guaranteed, so as to ensure the hit rate of "pure azimuth".

"Will 3000 meters be too low?" Lu Sen was a little worried, and took the initiative to communicate with the pilot. The "Super Sky Fortress" only has armor in key parts, and it will be shot down if it flies too low.

"Ha, it doesn't matter. The Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns are weak and inaccurate. Even if they fly in front of their noses, they can't hit them—" The pilot has confidence in the "Super Sky Fortress", and he is even more confident about the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns. Have confidence.

Then lower the altitude.

The weather is fine today, cloudless and blue sky. Below the "Super Sky Fortress" is the Japanese military port.

There are not many warships in the port, and the Allied bombers have visited this port many times. Japan suffered heavy losses and withdrew all the large warships, leaving only a few old destroyers to fill the gap.

The "Super Sky Fortress" arrived at the predetermined position, the magazine under the belly of the aircraft was opened, and a "pure azimuth" roared down, and all US staff entered the combat state.

"Continue? Why not continue?" Lu Sen was surprised. "Pure Azimuth" only voted one. Americans are so confident?
"You can only vote one coin at a time. If the number is more than one, the signals will interfere with each other." Colonel Beaufort is a good teacher, he doesn't understand such a simple truth, he is not professional enough.

Lu Sen and other southern African staff were confused. What does it mean that the signals will interfere with each other?
It seems that southern Africa has never had a similar problem in this regard.

At this time, the ground air defense forces of the Japanese army finally discovered the "Super Sky Fortress". For a while, the anti-aircraft machine guns were fully fired, and countless bullet chains rose into the air. Stop, everyone is getting nervous.

"Keep level flight, don't change direction—" Colonel Beaufort looked nervous, staring at the operator who was controlling the "Azimuth-only".

The operator is constantly adjusting the "azimuth-only" flight attitude through the telescope.

About ten seconds later, the operator suddenly raised his head and looked confused.

"How?" Colonel Beaufort looked expectant.

"Sorry Colonel, I lost the bomb?" The operator blushed.

"What do you mean?" Colonel Beaufort didn't understand immediately.

"It means—that is—that the bomb flew somewhere—" The operator was ashamed.

Lu Sen was dumbfounded. A bomb that weighed several hundred kilograms unexpectedly flew to nowhere!

Are you here to experiment with weapons?

Let's be funny!
"Turn around, let's go again—" Colonel Beaufort's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and it was estimated that this was not the first time this happened.

This is also normal, the birth process of new weapons is always full of ups and downs.

"Don't lose it this time—" Colonel Beaufort emphasized.

The operator rallied and almost climbed onto the telescope.

This time the bomb was not lost.

30 seconds after the bomb was dropped, everyone on the "Super Sky Fortress" could clearly see that a Japanese destroyer's side had stirred up a column of water tens of meters high.

This is a miss.

"Again!" Colonel Beaufort gritted his teeth.

The Germans used 6 "Xs" to sink a battleship and seriously wound one.

The Americans have dropped two "pure azimuths", one was lost and the other failed to hit, so far the results have been zero.

"How much fuel do we have?" Lu Sen worried that if this continues, the experiment will not be completed even if the fuel is exhausted.

"It's still enough to fly for four hours—" the pilot counted, not good.

It took the "Super Sky Fortress" three hours to fly over from Borneo, and another three hours to fly back, so the "Super Sky Fortress" can only stay in the air for one hour.

"Colonel, we don't have enough time—" Lusen reminded Colonel Beaufort that there were still experiments to be done in southern Africa.

"Okay, I understand—" Colonel Beaufort's face turned pale. This is the fifth "Azimuth-only" bomb, and it still failed to hit the damn Japanese destroyer.

There are only five "pure azimuths" installed on the "Super Sky Fortress".

Thirty seconds after the last one was thrown out, the pilot quickly pulled the plane up without Lusen reminding him, so that no more Japanese bullets were wasted.

It's also funny to say that the Japanese have never developed anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of 25 mm or more.

Otherwise, the 25mm anti-aircraft guns equipped with time-delayed fuze shells are still enough to pose a threat to the "Super Sky Fortress".

Compared with "pure azimuth", precision-guided bombs in southern Africa are big guys.

This time the pilot didn't even fly over the port, the controller threw the bomb out early, the "Super Sky Fortress" drew a graceful arc in the air, turned around and ran, and Colonel Russen and Beaufort crowded the porthole with binoculars beside.

"Your bombs don't need visual guidance?" Colonel Beaufort realized belatedly.

"No, our bomb is relatively large, so we simply installed a camera on it." Lu Sen didn't hide it, and it's okay to tell you, is there a camera?Will you pretend?
"The camera is so big, how did you install it on the bomb?" Colonel Beaufort has seen cameras before, and cameras are nothing new now. When the Olympic Games were held in southern Africa in 1928, there were already cameras recording live programs.

By the time Southern Africa held the Goodwill Games, live broadcast technology had already begun to spread.

Of course, the cameras used for live broadcasts by the side of the arena are relatively large, about the size of a room.

"The camera you mentioned is definitely not good. We use professional military cameras, which are small in size, clear in image, and not easily disturbed." Lu Sen said frankly, telling you clearly, you will not do it either.

"So you can remotely control the bomb just like watching TV." Colonel Beaufort had a bitter face, and finally realized the gap with southern Africa in terms of precision guidance.

"Basically, the key is signal transmission. My teacher is very good at this—" Lu Sen smiled all over his face. Below the "Super Sky Fortress", the precision-guided bomb launched in southern Africa accurately hit the Japanese destroyer parked in the port. .

The bomb pierced the destroyer's deck and exploded inside the destroyer's belly.

The destroyer was hammered like paper, it was torn apart, and its body was smashed to pieces. The huge explosion stirred up thick smoke, and the crew didn't even have a chance to jump into the sea.

"Who is your teacher?" Colonel Beaufort took his eyes off the telescope, so he didn't need to look at it.

"My teacher is Mr. Nikola Tesla." Lu Sen smiled. This time the experiment was a complete success, and Nikola Tesla made a great contribution.

In the next few days, the Americans conducted many more tests, and the Americans stopped until all 40 "pure azimuths" were fired.

The results were terrible.

None of the forty American "azimuth-only" bombs hit the target, four of them lost control after being launched, and two did not explode at all, most of which have fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

But even if the Japanese find the two "pure azimuths" that didn't explode, it doesn't matter. The Americans themselves failed, and even if the Japanese find the bomb, they can't perfect it.

Colonel Beaufort had been looking very hard these days.

Not to mention the southern Africans, even the Americans did not expect that all 40 "pure azimuths" failed.

This is really a bit embarrassing. At an altitude of 3000 meters, even if a blind cat hits a dead mouse, there should be a few hit the target smoothly.

After all, at this altitude, even ordinary bombs have a good hit rate.

This is a "precision-guided" bomb.

After the last day of the experiment, Rusen is about to return to Nyasaland.

Colonel Beaufort and Lusen had dinner at the Officers Club at Changi Naval Base.

The service of the Officers Club is good. The dishes are rich and delicious, and the key price is not expensive. It is very popular among allied officers and soldiers.

"I'm going back to the United States tomorrow. Nice to meet you, Lu. If I have the opportunity, I will go to southern Africa, and then I will visit your house." Colonel Beaufort couldn't help but offered a toast to Lu Sen.

"That's it. When you arrive in southern Africa, I will invite you to visit my farm." Lu Sen is very happy. The weather in Southeast Asia is a bit hot. Lu Sen has suffered a lot these days. He was bitten by mosquitoes several times. a big bag.

This is also thanks to the developed medical technology in southern Africa.

If it were decades ago, maybe Lu Sen would have lost his life in Southeast Asia. Mosquito bites are an important way to spread diseases.

"You are so lucky to have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Nikola Tesla. He is a great man, but he is unknown to most Americans. The American media almost never reports on Mr. Nikola Tesla. News." Colonel Beaufort had a bitter face, the United States has lost too many talents over the years, and most of them went to southern Africa.

Compared with southern Africa, the United States is closer to Europe, so in theory, the United States is the first choice for European immigrants.

Probably after World War I, this situation has reversed. More and more Europeans regard southern Africa as their first choice for immigrants. Even many Americans come to study and work in southern Africa. The population of southern Africa has long been It surpassed the United States and ranked third in the world.

This is quite an achievement.

When Southern Africa was founded, the official population was only 200 million.

In less than 40 years, the population of southern Africa has reached the third place in the world, and it has already exceeded 5000 million. Since the Great Depression, the federal government of southern Africa has even begun to treat immigrants on the basis of stopping all preferential policies for immigration. Restrictions still cannot stop new immigrants from all over the world.

"It's not surprising. The news media in southern Africa seldom have news about teachers." Lu Sen comforted Beaufort.

"Can it be the same?" Beaufort needed no such reassurance.

The same is not reported, but the situation in the United States and southern Africa is completely different.

The federal government of Southern Africa deliberately reduced the news about Nikola Tesla out of protecting him.

The American media is embarrassed to report, after all, family scandals cannot be publicized.
