The drawings provided by Yang Wei were the design drawings of the mg34 general-purpose machine gun. At that time, the German "Mauser" company was also working on the design of this machine gun to replace the old-fashioned machine guns such as the mg13.

In Yang Wei's design, the size of the prototype machine gun was improved, with better cushioning effect and barrel boosting effect.When the bipod is fixed on the front hoop of the machine gun barrel sleeve, it can be used as a light machine gun. The machine gun is installed on a light aluminum anti-aircraft tripod or anti-aircraft double bracket gun mount and a folding high It can be used as a heavy machine gun when shooting on the pillar, which was not in the design of Mauser at that time.

Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke looked at Yang Wei's design, and the more he looked at it, the more he was stunned, because Germany was not allowed to produce heavy machine guns according to the Treaty of Versailles at that time.

It's just that although this kind of machine gun has good performance, the production cost is obviously high, and it is very troublesome to mass-produce it.

But Yang Wei saw Hans Remke's great interest in this machine gun. The mg34 machine gun is destined to be used in large quantities in history. There is no doubt about it. As a person who knows history well, Yang Wei is not worried, his blueprints are just for guiding and promoting, and there is still a certain time distance before the mass production and use of mg34 general-purpose machine guns.Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 55

Taking advantage of Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke's high spirits, Yang Wei said: "In addition to this general-purpose machine gun, I also plan to design a gun family that can realize the combination of heavy machine guns and light machine guns. The spare parts such as the magazine and the back cover are all common, which can greatly reduce the production and maintenance costs, and is also convenient to deal with various situations on the battlefield. Although your country has been severely restricted in the production and manufacture of weapons this year, the machine gun used in this machine gun It is not a field rifle bullet, but an assault rifle bullet. Strictly speaking, this intermediate power bullet belongs to light machine guns and will not violate the restrictions of the treaty."

Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke nodded involuntarily. If the machine gun mentioned by Yang Wei can really be designed, it can guarantee the advanced nature of German weapons. At the same time, although the production and use of heavy machine guns is restricted, the Once a special situation is encountered on the battlefield, this kind of machine gun can be used as a heavy machine gun, which is the best of both worlds.

Yang Wei's design was bold yet rigorous, and Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke couldn't be tempted. He temporarily agreed to bring Yang Wei's design drawings back for professional researchers to study and experiment with "feasibility".For this, Yang Wei is very confident, and the development of a weapon requires many experiments, especially the actual performance test on the battlefield, and the Germans cannot conduct experiments in their own country. The way is to send it to China to be tested by its own troops.

And Yang Wei is very confident that his drawings have no problems, they are basically the completed design, and they will definitely stand any test. Although it is only an experimental model in the eyes of everyone, it can completely guarantee the performance and greatly save money. , It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

At the cost of machine gun blueprints and middle-power gun family blueprints, Yang Wei requested to purchase a batch of German committee rifles from Germany. Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke and von Box readily agreed immediately, but the preparation of the weapons still required three It is impossible to let the soldiers under him idle for three months. If they prepare other weapons temporarily, they will not meet Yang Wei's needs at all, and it will be a waste of funds. Weapons for one regiment, that is not a joke.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei suddenly came up with the idea of ​​the Germans marching to the Shanghai Marine Arsenal.

According to the previous conversation with von Box, Yang Wei knew that the Box family had a huge arsenal in Shanghai, and if it was just borrowed, it would just meet the current needs.

Unexpectedly, von Box shook his head after listening to it and said, "Mr. Yang, are you joking? The degree of wear and tear of a weapon will have a great impact on its quality. How could it be possible to borrow it?"

Yang Wei looked at Feng Box nonchalantly and said, "I will pay for the wear and tear."

Von Box's head was shaking like a rattle drum, and he refused to lend the weapon no matter what he said, so Yang Wei could only sigh and say: "I originally planned to finalize the matter of the weapon as soon as possible and complete the driving mechanism of the turret as soon as possible. Looks like there's no time."

When he said this, Yang Wei was not looking at von Box, but Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke. He was very interested in the transformation of the drive mechanism of the turret. Yang Wei waited for him step by step. After taking the bait, hit the railway immediately while it was hot: "Since the current turret is a hydraulic hand-held turret, the speed is really not worth mentioning. I plan to switch to motor drive, planetary hydraulic rotation, and planetary rotation. Such an improvement plan can greatly increase the speed of turret rotation."

Speed ​​is life on the battlefield, and sometimes it can change the entire battlefield in a few seconds. Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time, then looked up at Yang Wei and said, "Mr. Yang, are you sure you can complete the turret rotation?" Institutional improvements?"

Yang Wei nodded confidently. After all, the blueprint of the weapon in his head was the final design finalized after countless trials. It goes without saying.

After seeing Yang Wei's design, Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke's approval of Yang Wei increased a bit. Now that Yang Wei answered with such confidence, Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke nodded with a rare expression on his face. 』Exuding a trusting expression, he said to von Box: "In this case, Mr. Box, for the development of weapons in the Greater German Empire, I hope you can provide Mr. Yang with a temporary loan of weapons for training."

Von Box opened his mouth and was stunned. He didn't expect that he came to help Yang Wei find a solution, but Yang Wei tricked him. Von Box wanted to cry at this time, but Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke ordered The order made it hard for him to resist, so he nodded silently and agreed to the request of both parties.

When everything was agreed to end, Carl Schom suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, we forgot the most important thing. Instructor Adolf Ster is still waiting outside!"

It was only then that Yang Wei learned that Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke specially came here to bring Yang Wei the training instructor he had promised before. Carl Schomme then brought the instructor in and introduced him to Yang Wei. After all, Instructor Adolf Ster had trained several troops, and most of the officers trained by him were famous officers who were active in various battlefields during the First World War. Yang Weidun felt relieved and personally arranged for Officer Adolf Ster After the translator and the room, Yang Wei sent Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke and von Box away, and called Xing Jun, Fang Dacheng, Li Tiegang, Wang Xiao, Qian Chengshan and others.

Yang Wei sat upright and said: "Listen well, next we will work under the command of Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu, and I will go to Nanjing to take up the post in the next two days. What you have to do is to recruit and buy horses carefully. This time we must do it. Make a career out of it."
