Anti-war metal frenzy

Sun Buyi admits that what Manfitan said is indeed reasonable at present.But that is under the premise that Germany does not form an alliance with Japan.Once Germany and Japan form an axis alliance, the honeymoon period between Germany and China will definitely be interrupted.

Therefore, Sun Buyi has a very clear purpose on the issue of arms trade with Germany.That is to earn the huge wealth that Germany gained through the war, and then use the wealth earned to buy materials that it lacks, such as gasoline or food.

As the war continues, Germany's needs will become enormous.This is especially true when the German army is deeply mired in the Soviet battlefield.And I can sell to Germany all kinds of urgently needed weapons and equipment just like the United States passed the Lend-Lease Act to the Soviet Union.In terms of productivity, who can compare to his own base on the moon?

In World War II, the weapons and equipment made in Germany did not have an overwhelming advantage over the United States and the Soviet Union, and the production of various technical weapons was far less than that of the United States and the Soviet Union.One of the main reasons why Germany can still achieve many amazing victories under such circumstances lies in Germany's world-leading tactical thinking.

For example, the "blitzkrieg" theory created by the famous German general Guderian to concentrate the use of armored forces and use the speed of armored forces to launch surprise attacks on the enemy is like this.At that time, the way other countries used armored forces was to disperse tanks among infantry units as support firepower.

However, after Germany's enemies also learned this tactic, Germany's disadvantages were clearly exposed.Take heavy equipment such as tanks as an example. Throughout World War II, the United States produced a total of 11 tanks, including self-propelled artillery, while the Soviet Union produced 18 tanks. Looking at Germany, only A mere 5 vehicles!

In terms of various other transport vehicles, the United States produced a total of about 88 vehicles during World War II, the Soviet Union produced 41 vehicles, and Germany produced less than 30 vehicles.

Therefore, Sun is not easy to believe that if some appropriate supplements are provided, Germany can persist for a longer time.At that time, the Soviet Union will be even weaker, and the United States will be deeply mired in the quagmire of the European battlefield. Of course, the final victory must belong to the Allies, but everyone will win miserably.

In this way, China's weight in this war will inevitably be greatly increased, and when the new world order is re-established after the war, it will also gain more voice.

"Mr. Memphitine, I don't think the question you mentioned is reasonable to some extent. You must know that no one of us here has the power to change the direction of the entire country. .In Asia, China is much weaker than Japan, so China and Germany will inevitably take two completely different paths in the future." Sun Buyi said while taking out a few pieces from the briefcase beside him. drawings.

"However, you and I are both businessmen. Since we are businessmen, no matter what the future holds, we will continue to do business after all. Out of gratitude to Lieutenant General Falkenhausen, after he became the head of the military advisory group in China, he has served China* With the efforts and help of the * team, I am willing to provide a weapon blueprint to Your Excellency Falkenhausen at the lowest price. Of course, this is only the beginning of our cooperation."

Falkenhausen took a look at the blueprint handed over by Sun Buyi, his expression changed immediately, and then he handed the blueprint to Man Feitan who was sitting beside him.

Memphitten, who used to be an engineer at the Krupp Arsenal, couldn't wait to take the drawings and read them carefully for a while. The expression on his face changed from doubt when he first saw the drawings to shock.

genius!Whoever designed this weapon on the blueprints is an absolute genius!Manfeitan couldn't help exclaiming in his heart.

The blueprints that Sun Buyi took out are actually the design drawings of the mg42 machine gun.As a researcher on small arms, Memphitten, when he first saw these drawings, he immediately found that the weapon on the drawings was very similar to the mg34 machine gun currently used by the German Army.

Even to some extent, this drawing can be regarded as an improvement of the mg34 machine gun.But it is precisely this kind of improvement that makes the value of the mg34 machine gun and the value of this machine gun on the blueprint provided by Sun Buyi very different, it is simply not the same.

The mg34 machine gun made in Germany became the main weapon of the German Army immediately after it was installed.In the Spanish Civil War, German soldiers used the mg34 machine gun to great effect.But at the same time, the shortcomings of the mg34 machine gun were also fully exposed in that war.

First of all, the production of the mg34 machine gun took too long and was quite expensive to manufacture.Each mg34 machine gun needs to consume a piece of solid metal weighing 49 kilograms, and use lathes and milling machines to process and polish this piece of metal by drilling.

After cutting off unnecessary parts, the actual utilization rate of the solid metal weighing 49 kilograms is only about 20.00%.If it is worthwhile to consume a lot of man-hours to manufacture mg34 machine guns, the waste of metal materials makes Germany, a newly emerging capitalist country that is extremely short of mineral resources and overseas colonies, feel unbearable.

The machine gun designed on this blueprint provided by Sun Buyi, although it looks exactly like the mg34, its production method uses metal stamping technology.This not only saves a lot of material and man-hours, but also makes the machine gun itself more compact.

In addition, it is clearly stated on the drawings that the rate of fire of this machine gun has reached 1500 rounds per minute!This terrifying speed is about one-third faster than the rate of fire of mg34.

The second is to replace the barrel.Because the rate of fire of the mg34 machine gun is not low, the barrel needs to be replaced from time to time.But it is very troublesome to replace. It is almost necessary to disassemble the entire machine gun to replace the barrel.

As for the machine gun on the drawings, the device for replacing the barrel is simpler than that of the mg34 machine gun.As long as a lever is pulled and the gun body is tilted, the barrel will automatically disengage and jump out. There is no need to disassemble the gun body, let alone touch the hot barrel with hands. In this way, it only takes a short time to replace a barrel. Just a few seconds!And on the battlefield, 'time is life' is definitely not empty talk!

看着一直低头不语的曼菲坦因，孙不易相信图纸上的那款mg42肯定已经深深的打动了他。要知道和现在德军使用的mg34型机关枪相比，mg42型机关枪的造价只有mg34型机关枪的70.00%，所需的工时和材料却只有mg34型机关枪的一半。

This is definitely very beneficial to Germany, which lacks metal deposits and labor.Moreover, the mg42 machine gun is very reliable in actual combat. As an air-cooled machine gun, the mg42 can still maintain a stable shooting speed even in the severe cold of minus 40 degrees!

Throughout World War II, about 42 million mg100 machine guns were produced!This amount is quite astonishing.You must know that throughout World War II, Germany's production of submachine guns was only about 120 million.
