Chapter 349
(One)

"Why 107 mm? No reason..." Guan Shan looked at the eyes of the two people opposite him looking directly at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, it's actually because of steel pipes of this caliber. The largest, and I heard... oh no, I guessed, I guessed, the Allied forces considered the range of the 107 mortars, and planned to replace the troops with larger caliber mortars..."

"Then why do we use this obsolete caliber? What caliber is the United States planning to replace?" Captain Mihai was rather straightforward, and he poked the casserole to the bottom with one mouth.

Guan Shan spread his hands, looked at the big fat bear, and asked, "Colonel, do I want to explain this question?"

The big fat bear looked at Yelena, and Yelena shrugged and said, "He guessed it himself, and he may be right or wrong. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't know anything about the weapons and equipment of the Allied forces."

"Guess, then guess! Comrade Paul, I am very interested in your talent!" The bald lieutenant colonel managed to force a smile, and gestured for the young captain to take notes.

Paul reluctantly picked up a piece of white paper, pushed it to the middle of the table, stood up and lay down on the table while drawing with a pen, and said, "There is a batch of 107mm seamless steel pipes in your batch list when you arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow... I don’t remember how many inches in the imperial system, you can just check it yourself..."

The bald lieutenant colonel hurriedly put on his glasses and lay down on the table. The chubby bear colonel smiled and greeted Yelena with his coffee.

"The entire steel pipe is 16 meters in length, so you can cut it according to the length specification of 90 to 95 centimeters. If you count the loss of the cutting edge, you don't waste it. You have the highest utilization rate. If the cutting technology is good, each pipe has There is a margin of more than 30 centimeters, you can cut these leftovers and make fasteners..." Guan Shan drew with a pencil.

The bald lieutenant colonel nodded frequently, and Captain Mihai frowned while taking notes.

Guan Shan looked up at the two of them, gestured and said, "I adjusted this size, that's the way of thinking, don't waste things! Your first question, the center of gravity, balance, the best thrust of the muzzle...Frankly speaking, I won't count..."

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two of them, Guan Shan thought to himself, it's definitely inappropriate for me to tell you the best size!I want to fart!
After the two engineers discussed in a low voice for a while, Colonel Big Fat Bear asked, "You two, how about your evaluation?"

The bald lieutenant colonel nodded vigorously, and said: "I think there are still some practicalities, especially emergency, but this kind of thing, that is, emergency..."

(two)

"There is no difficulty in rockets." After some discussion, the young captain added: "As for the effective range, according to the parameters given by Paul, I estimate that it is at most 800 meters to 1000 meters..."

"Can it really reach 1000 meters?" Colonel Big Fat Bear's eyes widened.

You know, the RPG rocket launcher that has already started mass production in the United States is only 100 meters to 200 meters!What is the concept of this 1000 meters? This is an order of magnitude higher!
"Oh Colonel! No, no, no! At a distance of 800 meters to 1000 meters, there is no way to aim at all, because this is not a rifled gun, and the trajectory it flies out of, alas..." The bald lieutenant colonel quickly added.

"Then... how much is the error?" the colonel asked.

"Don't worry about it!" The young captain whispered: "The quantity can be made up, just like Katyusha. Just now Paul talked about fasteners. barrel or 9 barrels for fire coverage..."

"The key is cheap." Guan Shan added with a smile: "12 gun barrels, 12 rounds of shells, for a tank, isn't this a bargain!"

"Yes, that's why I just said that it is very practical for emergencies!" The lieutenant colonel nodded, looked at Colonel Big Fat Bear and said, "Especially because your Ministry of Internal Affairs is asking for such urgently. The most suitable."

"It's not a waste to replace it with a large-caliber one and a higher-precision one." Guan Shan shrugged, pointed at the blueprint on the table, and said, "Even if it's only used this time and eliminated, you can't do it." It doesn’t need to be recycled as scrap iron, it can be handed over to the Eighth Route Army as military aid... Hehe, I guess Chongqing doesn’t like such things, right..."

Colonel Big Fat Bear laughed and said: "Comrade Paul, what you said is all about the anti-government united front. What you said has no pattern, no pattern!"

The lieutenant colonel quickly calculated, made a calculation with the captain, looked up at the big fat colonel, and said: "If we open a production line, all of this batch of 107 steel pipes will be used to process rocket barrels...about... 10 days, The artillery shells involve mold opening, and it will take a week before mass production, oh, Comrade Paul said that he hopes to have three types of warheads..."

The captain nodded vigorously, and added: "The calculation of the ballistic balance curve and the amount of charge is not a big problem. Katyusha's team has a lot of ready-made formulas and data from large to small. Please cooperate with them to calculate, which is two days. Time... It takes a week to open the mold and test and adjust, and it will be soon..."

The captain made quick calculations while talking, then looked up at Colonel Big Fat Bear, and said with certainty: "It can be provided within 15 days at the earliest... Let me do the math... Of course, the prerequisite is that there are enough raw materials, preferably Increment, don't crowd out the production capacity of other ammunition, they are all lacking now!"

This kind of industrial production capacity!sharp!Guan Shan admired secretly in his heart.

Of course, it is still incomparable with the infrastructure madman world factory manufacturing madman decades later.

"Please make a list of the basic raw materials. I have specially applied for an expedited channel. If you are in a hurry and are in short supply, I can coordinate some of the air transportation." Yelena promised the big fat bear colonel who was looking at her.

"Great! Great!" Colonel Big Fat Bear clenched his fists and said, "Have a cup of coffee first, and I will report to Comrade Bailey Mountain now!"

(three)

"Comrade Paul! Comrade Paul!" The bald lieutenant colonel softly called Guan Shan's name.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was distracted. I was thinking, if the Eighth Route Army could have such a weapon..." Guan Shan sighed softly.

"There will be, there will be bread, there will be everything!" The bald lieutenant colonel looked at Guan Shan with a smile.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, just now you were..."

The bald lieutenant colonel looked at Guan Shan, then at Yelena, and asked, "Is the bazooka just now related to the VS316 helicopter? Oh, your serial number is R4."

R4 helicopter!It's not really a big secret. This was an order placed by the U.S. Army at the end of 1940, and the delivery was officially completed only half a year ago in May 1942.
