Chapter 64 Do you want a cannon? Large diameter (second update, please collect it)
  [The military purchased 5000 tons of "Agent Orange" from KTJ Chemical Industry, with a total contract value of US$1000 million and a reward of 100000 experience points! ]
  Although Li Yian was far away in London when he signed the contract for this gift package for Xiaozhi, the system still gave him the reward he deserved as soon as possible.

Although the reward is as high as 10 experience points, Li Yian is now calm. After all, he is still close to [-] million yuan away from the next upgrade!
  If you want to upgrade, you still need to keep working hard.

In fact, when the system was giving rewards, he was discussing new business with the defense supply company.

"This machine gun is our company's latest product - the RM2 machine gun. Compared with the Czech ZB26 and ZB30 machine guns and the British Bren machine gun, it is not only reliable in performance, but also has a simpler structure, is easier to produce, and is very lightweight. Lightweight, it weighs only 6.4 kilograms, making it easier for soldiers to carry and attack..."

Standing in front of General Jiang and other officials from the defense supply company, Li Yian pointed at the machine gun on the table and introduced them to the advantages of this machine gun. This machine gun was licensed by Carl Metal Company from the Mendoza Company in Mexico. It only used I purchased a complete set of blueprints and technical information for US$15000. It is ridiculously simple and cheap. Although the price is not high, the performance is absolutely excellent. Unfortunately, it is a standard weapon in Mexico and is rarely noticed by the outside world. In addition, after the war, Due to the impact of a large number of second-hand light machine guns, even the Mexican military only purchased a few dozen. But this cannot conceal its excellent performance.

"It looks a lot like Czech."

General Jiang raised his machine gun and said with a smile.

"As you said, it's very light. It's indeed very light. But will such a light machine gun float when fired and be difficult to control?"

The timely delivery of the "Type [-] submachine gun" earned him domestic awards. Of course, this is also the reason why he appears here - the country is in urgent need of various weapons, including machine guns.

"That's not true, General Jiang. Look, its muzzle is equipped with a muzzle brake, which reduces the recoil and makes it easier to control. Its barrel can be quickly replaced like the Czech style. The gas tube A fixedly connected bipod is installed on the gun... The firing pin of the gun is pointed at both ends. If one end is broken and damaged, the firing pin can be used upside down. The butt and trigger mechanism are hinged as a whole. And it has a special tripod. , can be used in ground combat or air combat, allowing troops to have certain field air defense capabilities."

While introducing the various advantages of this machine gun to domestic guests, Li Yian said specifically.

"If the purchase quantity exceeds 20000, each machine gun will be equipped with a spare barrel, eight 30-round magazines, every six machine guns will be equipped with a multi-purpose tripod, and will be equipped with six 100-round drums. Well, the unit price... …$120!”

$120!

In an instant, General Jiang was stunned by Li Yian's quotation. This quotation seemed to be a third cheaper than the Bren machine gun, but it included an extra spare barrel, a tripod, and 100 rounds of ammunition. drum. The actual quote may even be less than $100!

"General, put on the tripod and drum, isn't it just a heavy machine gun?"

Wang Fuji on the side said in time.

Li Yian nodded.

"Indeed, this is why I recommend it to you. Even with a tripod attached, it weighs only 16 kilograms and can be easily transferred on the battlefield. This can reduce the risk of heavy machine gun positions being destroyed. shortcomings."

In fact, the reason why the Mendoza machine gun was chosen was not only its excellent performance and simple structure. It is also a quasi-universal machine gun - equipped with a tripod and 100-round drum magazine

"That's the truth, but the key still depends on performance, after all..." General Jiang said looking at the machine gun mounted on a tripod in front of him.

"When it comes to speaking with facts, let's do a shooting demonstration first!"

In the next three days, two inconspicuous-looking light machine guns fired a full 12 rounds of ammunition without any parts being damaged. Just as Li Yi'an promised, its structure is simple, reliable and durable.

Faced with such a machine gun with excellent performance, General Jiang and his party were conquered even though no army had yet equipped this weapon. In fact, they were conquered not only by the performance of the weapon, but more importantly by the opponent. Delivery commitment - 40000 to 50000 units can be delivered within one year.

"Are you sure you can deliver 40000 aircraft?"

When asking a rhetorical question, General Jiang took another special look at the factory. The scale of this factory is indeed far larger than any domestic arsenal. However, it seems a bit unrealistic to deliver 40000 light machine guns in a year. After all, in China, [-] light machine guns are delivered in a year. In other words, only [-] aircraft can be built.

"General, you have seen that its structure is very simple. It only requires 75 man-hours, which is more than twice as long as the Bren machine gun. 40000 is a conservative number, and 50000 is definitely no problem!"

If that doesn't work, you can also outsource some parts to other manufacturers. There are countless small arms companies in the United States. They have been making parts for large arms companies. This is the biggest feature of mature industrial countries. Large arms companies are in many At that time, it was just an assembly plant.

"Moreover, if your purchase quantity exceeds 20000, we will transfer all drawings and technical data to you free of charge. If necessary, we can also send technicians to assist you in the production of RM2 machine guns."

This is the real trump card. Although the Czech model has been copied and finalized in China, its prototype is the ZB26 after all. Compared with the ZB26, the RM2 machine gun has better performance and is cheaper.

Cheap and excellent!
  This is the most suitable machine gun for the country, and it even has the potential to replace the Type [-] and Type [-] heavy machine guns. Although it is only a potential, who can refuse a guy with a price that is only one-tenth of the price?

Just as Li Yian expected, the defense supply company had no reason to reject it at all. After all, Karl Metal Company was the only supplier that could deliver goods immediately. For a defense supply company that only had US dollars in hand and no fixed manufacturer, Carl Metal was even his only option.

After signing a contract for 2 RM[-] light and heavy dual-purpose machine guns, General Jiang asked tentatively.

"Can you produce cannons? You know, the country needs more than just machine guns. If there are cannons... Well, our contract only uses 60% of the quota approved by the United States for the purchase of light machine guns. The remaining 40%, the company You can control it yourself, I can hand over this contract to you..."

Seeing the expectation on General Jiang's face, Li Yian said directly.

"Can a mortar be used? I mean a large caliber one!"
