Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1318 M16
"Do you have any?" Wang Xuexin pretended to be strange and said: "Captain, you know, what we need is not training or something like that, we can do it ourselves!"

"Of course!" Derek replied, "We..."

Speaking of this, Derek seemed to suddenly realize that whether such military secrets can be traded is not up to him as a captain, so he changed his words: "Sorry, Comrade Commander, I need to ask my superiors for instructions."

Then Derek seemed to be afraid that Wang Xuexin would go back on his word or have no desire to make a deal, so he added: "Of course, I believe there will be no big problems with this deal!"

Wang Xuexin raised his eyebrows, tried to show a look of indifference, and replied calmly: "I hope so!"

Wang Xuexin knew that the less he cared about this kind of transaction, the more anxious Yingjiang, including Derek, would be, and he could get what he wanted as soon as possible.

Sure enough, after leaving Wang Xuexin's office, Captain Derek ran back to his dormitory like flying, and immediately sent a telegram to Li Qiwei:
"General, do you still remember the head of the Huaxia regiment? The head of the Huaxia regiment who designed the bursting rifle! He said that he is willing to design a bursting rifle suitable for our army. As a deal, what he needs is probably AN/APS-15 ground mapping radar, just like us, they need this radar to assist airborne!"

Derek tried his best to restrain his excitement, because he knew that Ridgway was a very assertive commander, and he would judge right and wrong without too many suggestions from others. If Derek said too many tendentious words in the telegram I'm afraid it will backfire.

But despite this, Li Qiwei was still surprised by Derek's words.

Before that, it was difficult for Derek's telegram to even appear on Ridgway's desk, because Derek was originally an insignificant grassroots commander in the 82nd Airborne Division, and the mission he performed was not a big deal, just to help Huaxia The army forms airborne units.

However, after Li Qiwei learned about the training situation of the Huaxia Airborne Troops and even the battle situation at Yanmen Pass, his attention to Derek changed... The information sent by Derek must be sent to Li Qiwei as soon as possible, Li Qiwei It will be studied repeatedly and systematically added to its own training plan.

For example, break up the formation of troops to allow them to freely combine, and another example is to strengthen the command ability of company-level commanders.

But there is one thing the 82nd Airborne Division is helpless: the equipment they use is too different from the eighth route army's continuous rifles.

Ridgway said to the staff more than once: "That is the equipment we need! The airborne troops often face many more enemies than themselves, and they are surrounded by the enemy as soon as they land. If we use Springfield rifles or M1 , the result will only be that you will be entangled by the enemy and never be able to escape! The Eighth Route Army’s bursting rifles can instantly burst out powerful firepower to break through the enemy’s encirclement, even if the number of troops is much smaller than the enemy’s!”

But Li Qiwei felt helpless every time he mentioned this, because Li Qiwei had contacted his superiors to discuss this issue more than once, but the answer he got was: "It's not just the airborne troops that need repeating rifles, General! We must be careful!"

Li Qiwei knows that this statement is correct. Rifles are mass-produced. Once the production is finalized, it will affect the replacement of the entire army, so it should be considered carefully and comprehensively.

but……

Li Qiwei said angrily: "Did no one consider the needs of the airborne troops? They gave us a bunch of inappropriate equipment and let us perform the most dangerous missions!"

If Li Qiwei's words were translated into Huaxia, it would be "I want the horse to run but don't feed the horse".

Just when Li Qiwei was helpless about this situation, Derek sent this telegram.

What shocked Li Qiwei about this telegram was that the head of Huaxia had the confidence to design a rifle suitable for Yingjiang's army?

"Does he think he is God?" Li Qiwei was full of disbelief and even disdain and anger: "How does he know what kind of rifle we need? He hasn't even seen our army!"

Li Qiwei believes that Wang Xuexin has the ability to design a bursting rifle, because he designed the bursting rifle of the Eighth Route Army.

What Li Qiwei doesn't believe is that he knows the needs of the Eagle Sauce army. This requires a lot of experiments and a lot of questionnaires!

How can you believe that he can do it and make a deal just based on a word from the leader of Huaxia?

Does this head of Huaxia have mind reading skills?

Or a psychic wizard?
Therefore, Li Qiwei's intuition told him that the head of Huaxia was just drawing a cake, and he was incapable of designing a suitable rifle for Yingjiang.

However, Li Qiwei was immediately slapped in the face...

When Derek told Wang Xuexin what Li Qiwei said, Wang Xuexin did not explain too much, but gave a few data: "The ammunition capacity is 30 rounds, the combat weight is about 4 kg, and the theoretical rate of fire is about 700 rounds per minute. Effective The range is 600 meters!"

What Wang Xuexin gave was the data of Yingjiang M16 assault rifle.

Didn't Li Qiwei talk about demand?

Isn't the reason why Eagle Sauce decided to develop the M16 more than ten years later is because of this demand?So, M16 should be the demand of Eagle Sauce, right?

(Note: Eagle Sauce began to develop M1957 in [-])

Li Qiwei on the other side couldn't help being stunned after seeing these data.

Although he still doesn't believe that the head of Huaxia can design this kind of rifle, at least the head of Huaxia knows the needs of Yingjiang's army, especially the "effective range of 600 meters"...

Li Qiwei knows one thing:
After the Yingjiang military got the bursting rifle from the head of Huaxia, what they were most dissatisfied with was the accuracy of the bursting rifle.

The effective range is only 300 meters?
How could this work on the battlefield?
Are we going to base the safety of soldiers' lives entirely on luck?
This is the extreme that Yingjiang went to during this period. Their requirements for equipment accuracy are exactly the opposite of Maoxiong.

Objectively speaking, Yingjiang’s requirements for the range of the M16 are a bit too high, because the effective range of Yingjiang’s active rifle M4A1 is only more than 400 meters, which proves that this range is reasonable and sufficient.

Of course Wang Xuexin knew this, but he didn't try to convince Ying Jiang...

Why do you want to persuade the eagle sauce?
Wouldn't it be nice to let Eagle Sauce go in this extreme direction for a while?

For the Eighth Route Army, as long as they can do business with Yingjiang and get what they want, that's all.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Xuexin should follow Yingjiang's favor and even strengthen this extreme instead of reasoning with them.
