Chapter 1319

At this time, Li Qiwei already believed that Wang Xuexin knew the needs of Yingjiang's army. After pondering for a while, he asked Wang Xuexin another question through Derek's mouth: "Comrade commander, if the bursting rifles you produce yourself only have an effective range of 300 meters, how can you use them?" Why is the repeating rifle designed for us to have an effective range of 600 meters? If so, why don't you produce such repeating rifles yourself?"

It's not surprising that Li Qiwei would ask such a question.

Because in the case of guaranteeing continuous firing, the farther the range, the better, so why bother the Eighth Route Army to use AK47 instead of M16?
Of course, Wang Xuexin would not analyze Li Qiwei from the perspective of battlefield needs. Instead of answering, he asked, "Captain, I sold you napalm before. I want to know how you use it?"

"This..." Derek looked at Wang Xuexin with shocked eyes. He just knew that the napalm was made by Wang Xuexin: "We made it into an aerial bomb!"

Wang Xuexin replied helplessly: "This is the problem. We developed napalm, but at best we put it in rockets to make incendiary bombs, but you can make it into aerial bombs..."

There is no need for Wang Xuexin to explain further, Derek immediately understood what Wang Xuexin meant.

Li Qiwei on the other side also felt that what Wang Xuexin said made sense.

The industrial base of the Eighth Route Army is weak, so what if Wang Xuexin has the ability to design?The production of its rifles must always consider the actual situation in China, so it can only produce this rougher rifle with a shorter range.

But Eagle Sauce is different. With Eagle Sauce’s industrial capabilities, it can produce more sophisticated equipment and support its maintenance. It may not be an exaggeration to produce a rifle with an effective range of 600 meters.

Thinking of this, Li Qiwei couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion. A repeating rifle with a range of 600 meters... You must know that Garand's effective range is only 750 meters. If there is such a repeating rifle, wouldn't it take into account both bursts and range?
How powerful such a rifle can be on the battlefield!

Li Qiwei couldn't help thinking about the picture of eagle sauce soldiers with bursting rifles crushing the enemy on the battlefield.

After thinking for a while, Li Qiwei sent all the information to Doolittle in Washington by telegram, because he knew that Dolittle was in charge of contact with China.

When Doolittle heard about it, there was still such a thing?Immediately contacted Sun Erwei and flew to Liyuan to find Wang Xuexin.

On the surface, it seems that Wang Xuexin took a detour... He could have found Sun Erwei by himself, but now it is Tondrick to Ridgway to Doolittle and then back to Sun Erwei.

But in fact, Wang Xuexin solved a problem: what he wanted was Yingjiang's latest ground surveying and mapping radar. As a regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army, he should not have known the existence of this radar.

Soon, Sun Erwei appeared in front of Wang Xuexin. As soon as he saw Wang Xuexin, he asked Wang Xuexin with a bit of blame: "Wang, since you have the ability to design a bursting rifle and it is suitable for our army, why not?" said earlier?"

Wang Xuexin thought to himself: Do you think I'm stupid?Can we talk about this earlier?If this had been said earlier, would you exchange 50 Shermans for the drawings of the AK47?
But thinking about it, Wang Xuexin certainly wouldn't answer that way.

Wang Xuexin put on an innocent expression and said, "Sun Erwei, you can't blame me for this, you didn't tell me that what you want is a rifle that suits you!"

This made Sun Erwei roll his eyes angrily, if he didn't buy a repeating rifle for his country's army, did he still buy it for fun?
But at this point, Sun Erwei has nothing to regret, he can only say: "Okay, let's talk about a new deal, I heard that you can design a repeating rifle with excellent performance, I can Do you know more details? I mean... Our scientists have been having a headache all the time, how can we ensure the range of the repeating rifle!"

This is also the main reason why Eagle Sauce lags behind other countries in the development of intermediate power bullets and assault rifles.

During World War II, Hans developed the intermediate power bullet and matched it with the STG44 assault rifle.

Mao Xiong developed an intermediate-power bomb during World War II, and it was successfully developed shortly after the war and replaced with AK47.

However, Eagle Sauce had to wait until more than ten years later (57 years) before starting the development of M16... This is not like Eagle Sauce's style.

Eagle sauce can even be said to be in the forefront in terms of intermediate power bullets. For example, its M1 carbine is a kind of intermediate power bullet between rifle bullets and pistol bullets, but its power is too small to be used as an assault Rifle bullets.

But Eagle Sauce came first and made it later... It was Eagle Sauce who first developed the carbine ammunition, but it turned out to be the last to develop the intermediate power bullet and the assault rifle.

The only reason is that Yingjiang pursues the range too much on the assault rifle.

This is actually understandable... Ying Jiang fought against the enemy during World War II. Usually, he used guns to blast the enemy's position several times from a distance, or used machine guns to shoot wildly. They didn't fight the enemy at close range. They have absolute firepower and they really don't need to rush to develop this rifle.

Wang Xuexin didn't answer Sun Erwei's question, he asked unceremoniously: "You may have forgotten that this is a deal, Sun Erwei! I heard Captain Derek say that you have what I need, I mean in terms of airborne troops... I hope this is it and it doesn't let me down!"

Sun Erwei let out an "ahha", then took out a document from his briefcase and put it in front of Wang Xuexin, saying, "I believe it will not disappoint you!"

Wang Xuexin glanced at the cover, and then he knew it was right... The document has been translated into Chinese, and it says "ground surveying and mapping radar" squarely on it.

But Wang Xuexin looked through it pretending to understand nothing, and then frowned: "I don't understand what's the use of this, Sun Erwei? A radar?"

Sun Erwei laughed: "Believe me, it is what you want, you just need to install it under the plane and fly over the target, and all the terrain on the ground will be under its control, height, width, landform wait!"

Wang Xuexin pretended to be enlightened: "You mean, there is no problem at night?"

"Of course!" Sun Erwei nodded with a smile: "This is the benefit of radar, Wang!"

Wang Xuexin looked at the document again, and then closed it, saying: "Okay, Sun Erwei! I want five such radars, and the supporting aircraft, is it okay?"

What Wang Xuexin said made Sun Erwei's jaw almost drop in shock. At this time, Yingjiang only had ten ground surveying and mapping radars, and this guy wanted five in one go?But also together with the plane!

This is a [-]% split with Eagle Sauce!
