Age of Rebirth

Chapter 190 Looking for "Suomi m1931" ([-])

Finland is located in northern Europe, between 60° and 70° north latitude, and one-third of the country is within the Arctic Circle. Because it is located in a high latitude area, the winter is long and cold, and the summer is short and warm.

The climate in the north is cold and snowy.In the northernmost part, the sun is invisible for 40 to 50 days in winter, and there is sunshine day and night from the end of May to mid-July in summer. Due to the influence of the Atlantic warm current, the southwestern coastal areas and the south have a mild climate.

The white color on the national flag symbolizes that most of the land is covered by ice and snow. It is now May, and a few people have just entered from warm Germany. When they got off the train, they couldn't help shivering. Tang Qiuli and the others could say, Xiaoling couldn't take it anymore, several people hurriedly called a taxi, and fled to the hotel in a panic.

Luckily, the radiator in the hotel was very hot. Xiaoling hugged the radiator and after a long time, her complexion calmed down. She still had lingering fears. Although she was from Northeast China, she did not wear a skirt in such a cold day. experience. [

After settling down, the first thing everyone has to do is to buy clothes as soon as possible. The warmer the better, watching everyone jumping around busy buying clothes, Tang Qiuli kept sorting out the relevant questions in his mind. All the information about the m1931 submachine gun.

The Suomi m1931 submachine gun was designed by the designer Amo Johannes Leidy. Leidi once worked in the Lichmenk munitions warehouse and later served as an ordnance officer in a certain regiment. Due to his work, he is very familiar with the German mpl8 submachine gun.After deeply realizing the gun's combat power and lack of reliability, he came up with the idea of ​​designing his own submachine gun.

When the prototype gun was designed, Leidy sent the submachine gun that fired the 765mm Parabellum pistol to the military for testing. However, after the test, the submachine gun that performed well was rejected by the military representatives. The predecessor of the m1931 submachine gun.

The 26-year-old designer was hit hard by the military's response, so he quit his official job in the military and tried to establish a private company. After declaring bankruptcy, Ledine had no choice but to return to serve in the army.

In the early 30s, Leidy produced another submachine gun based on the sample gun, and it was put into mass production in Finland's Tikakoski Arsenal in 1931. In the same year, it was officially installed by the Finnish army and named it m[-].

Leddy was so confident in his design that he even named his submachine gun after his home country, Finland ("Somi" is derived from the Finnish word for "Finland"), and launched a new machine gun before mass production. In [-], it began to apply for patents in the United States and Finland, and it was finally approved in [-].

This new gun only retains the detachable barrel and charging handle of the sample gun. The bolt is basically a new design, the length is shortened by four centimeters, and the rate of fire adjustment mechanism is cancelled. The maximum nominal range is 500 meters. The downward slope on the front of the sleeve can play a certain anti-jump effect, making the weapon more stable when shooting.

The wooden buttstock has also been improved to make the shoulder more comfortable. The supply is a 25-round box-type straight box and a 40-round drum. It is arranged in a spiral inside the drum. Later, the 70-round drum designed by Keskin also became the main supply of the Suomi m1931 submachine gun.

During the 30s, the growth rate of the Suomi submachine gun in Finland was very slow. In 193, the Suomi m4000l submachine gun was equipped with about [-] pieces, and in [-] it was [-] pieces. By January [-], when the Soviet-Finnish War broke out, there were only more than [-].

During the Soviet-Finnish War that broke out in January 193, the Somi m44l submachine gun was brilliant. In the early days of the war, the Finnish army equipped with only one Somi submachine gun for every [-] soldiers. The limited number of Suomi submachine guns dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet army in defensive operations and guerrilla warfare in jungles and mountains.

Almost every work published by the Soviet Union on this period of history gives a rich and colorful description of the Suomi submachine gun and the Finnish troops who used it to repeatedly injure the Soviet army. The prestige of the Suomi submachine gun is not only established in the fighting on the battlefield , It was because of the use of submachine gun tactics by the Finnish army that it left a deep impression on the Soviet army and had a profound impact on its equipment construction and tactical thinking.

The Suomi m1931 submachine gun has been the standard equipment of the Finnish army since World War II. It was not officially retired from active service until [-]. The longevity of this gun should be attributed to precise processing technology and excellent structural design.

You know, long-lived light weapons are not uncommon, but most of them are kept alive by continuous decal improvements during use. Like the m1931 Somi submachine gun, it has not been improved, but it has survived 54 years of wind and rain. not much.

It was precisely because of this that Tang Qiuli traveled across the ocean to Finland. This small Nordic country, with its own army, does not have a strong military industry to back it up. Pursuing the service life and reliability of guns is the only one. Effective Ways.

When Tang Qiuli met Elmo Johnny Reddy, the young designer who created a generation of outstanding guns, was in debt and destitute.

In the country cottage where he lived, Leidy looked slumped and radiant, without the high spirits and self-satisfied pride of a young talent at all.

Regarding this Oriental who came to the door suddenly, he was taken aback, and before Tang Qiuli explained his purpose, he refused him politely. The interpreter who came along with him had no choice but to shrug and hold his hands Stand, looking helpless.

Tang Qiuli had no choice but to go back to the hotel. From the mouth of the translator, he had a general understanding of Laidy's recent situation. Although this man is a genius in firearm design, he is definitely a rookie in business. He and several friends in the army established an automatic weapons joint-stock company. Although the products are excellent, there has been no market.

Seeing that the first batch of products produced are backlogged in the warehouse and cannot be sold, and the repayment date of bank loans and raw material suppliers' arrears is getting closer and closer, all the start-up funds have become finished products, Lei Di He was at a loss and was running around in a hurry. [

However, he had no choice but to sell the company's shares, but as far as the company's operating conditions are concerned, those shrewd businessmen and others know well that they would dare to take this muddy water. Their company's shares are listed on the stock exchange. For several days, there was no deal at all.

Reduce the stock price to one-tenth of its original value, which is almost the same as giving away for free. Now, no one bought it. Probably the Finns are similar to the Chinese, and they all have the heart of chasing ups and downs. The company's stock, During this week, it was rated as the worst junk stock.

Ledine, transferred all the stocks of his partners to his own name. Although he has no cash, he finally didn't drag his partners who started businesses with him into the debt whirlpool. , Fight it alone!

Leidi understands very well that if he fails to pay all the debts due, he will face lawsuits from the creditors. At that time, let alone playing with his favorite guns, he will probably spend several years of precious time in prison , in this case, how could he have the mind to meet an oriental man.

After listening to the interpreter, Tang Qiu's heart moved, and a solution came to his mind.

The next day, he came to the stock exchange. Sure enough, the shares of Laidi Company were at the bottom of the lonely bottom at an extremely low price. Tang Qiuli calculated that the total value of all the stocks was only twenty Come ten thousand deutsche marks.

This time, Tang Qiuli almost burst out laughing on the spot. According to his original estimate, the total value of Laidi’s stock should be more than a few million Deutsche Marks. It seems that it is almost the same as picking up in vain.

It’s no wonder that Finnish businessmen don’t have this kind of mind. Under the circumstances at the time, who would have predicted that this company would turn around and shine in the future, and the company’s stock value was tens of thousands of times that of the existing one. , and it is hard to find.

It happened that Tang Qiuli, a freak who came through time, found pearls in the rubble. Others really didn't have that ability. This is called blindness to gold and jade.

Tang Qiuli immediately went to the trading port to go through the formalities of purchasing all the stocks. The staff could hardly believe his ears. Trading in this junk stock had been suspended for several days, and it was about to be cleared out tomorrow. It was hanging on the exchange. affect the image.

He asked suspiciously, sir, are you going to buy all the shares of Laidi?After getting an affirmative answer, the trader thought he was dreaming. Strange things happen every year, but not many this year?

If it weren't for the temperament and demeanor of Tang Qiuli's words and deeds, of course, the most important thing is the check, he would almost suspect that this young Chinese is a mental patient. all formalities.

At the end, the trader was even humorous. Dear Mr. Qiu, you are already the boss of Laidi Company, congratulations, but Tang Qiuli, behind his full smile, always felt that he thought he was a mentally disabled patient or means mental illness.

Tang Qiuli didn't care about these things. He picked up a big ingot today and made a fortune. Let these Finns regret it in the future. When the time comes, they won't be able to find their graves even if they cry.

Back at the hotel, after a short rest, he called the translator over and announced that starting today, his remuneration would be tripled, and he would hold this honorable position permanently. After that, I was almost moved to tears. This is a Nordic girl who learned Chinese by chance. Unexpectedly, this special skill enabled her to find a job with a salary several times higher than the average salary in Finland.

And it's a golden job, that is to say, as long as Lei Di is not dead, she will never worry about her job. Then Lei Di is only in her thirties, isn't this a job for a lifetime?She adores her new boss from the bottom of her heart, and if necessary, she can give her body.

Tang Qiuli officially entered the company in the name of the boss of Laidi Company. The staff of the company welcomed the new boss with an oriental face with mixed feelings.
