Chapter 177 We Have Greater Sincerity
Chapter 177 We have greater sincerity
"I think we have to have a good talk!" Colonel Kahn Dorman walked straight to Meng Xiang, looked at Mai and Mai in the distance, and said with a serious expression.
"Of course, we have a lot of sincerity! Do you want to look at it again?" Meng Xiang smiled, but Carl noticed that his eyes swept over a gesture from Miyi.
"Yes!" Carl was expecting him to bring him greater surprise.
Soon, two soldiers walked over with a machine gun.
"What is this? It's so ugly!" Before Kahn asked, looking at the tripod in the hand of a soldier and the bipod on the machine gun, the arrogant Captain William had already started to make fun of this machine gun. Meng Xiang's smile just now and looked at the surprised expressions of several people, making him feel angry. Seeing this machine gun, he couldn't help laughing: "Is this a gun?"
"Machine gun!" Meng Xiang actually nodded with a smile.
"Is this your precious sincerity?" William was a little angry at Meng Xiang's smile. "It looks like a pile of shoddy primary school students' handmade courseware. Don't tell me, you Chinese can use a pile of iron pieces and an iron pipe to piece together a gun that can kill a rabbit!"
Meng Xiang immediately changed his original idea, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he said with a cold expression: "This is indeed the work of craftsmen who have never been to school in China. He didn't intend to be ugly. However, it is rare to meet a few friends from Germany, which just give us some advice on our shortcomings."
He shook his fingers back, and the two soldiers raised a mg-34 machine gun. A target of different distances had been erected from a distance, which could be seen from the naked eye.
For William and Kahn's artistic weapon plot, he also played some role in his ridiculous expression. He didn't say anything, but just kept looking at the machine gun.
Kahn saw the bullets placed next to the ugly machine gun very clearly, and he also used 7.92x 57mm bullets. He suppressed his doubts and quietly watched the soldiers attach metal bullet links.
"Let's start!" Meng Xiang nodded slightly after the soldiers were ready. As soon as he finished speaking, the muzzles of two machine guns of the same blood relationship ejected flames at the same time.
"Would we take a break first?" After listening to the monotonous machine gun sound for a while, Meng Xiang pointed to the tables and chairs that had just been arranged in the distance. In order to show his dandy side, the tables and chairs were decorated with many fruits that looked particularly luxurious in winter.
Kahn, who was ecstatic, glanced at him without saying a word, and continued to stare at the ugly machine gun. The unique tearing sound did not affect the dissolution of its structure. As time went by, Kahn's expression became more and more serious. He looked at Captain Arnim in the team. The captain who was very proficient in guns came this time to assist in investigating the large number of mg-34 machine guns that appeared in the Pioneer Army. At this time, he also looked solemn. After looking at Kahn, he made an incredible expression.
The rapid shooting will heat up and deform the barrel. After shooting for a while, the red flag in the hand of a soldier standing next to him was swung, and the two machine guns began to change the barrel at the same time. Kahn saw it very clearly that the two soldiers using the mg-34 machine gun were very skilled in changing the barrel, which completely met the qualification requirements of the Imperial Team, but the operation of the ugly machine gun next to him took faster time to change the barrel.
Anim has noticed the unique cover ring and bamboo shoot design at the barrel. They changed the barrel quickly not because they were more skilled, but because the special replacement device design was more effective.
After a long period of shooting, the two soldiers replaced 50 and 75 rounds of magazines and continued to shoot different targets. Similarly, the two machine guns performed regardless of the outcome.
"Is this your product?" When the sound of the machine gun stopped, Kahn glanced at the Miyi and Miyi who were standing far away and asked Meng Xiangdao.
"This was pieced together by our Chinese craftsmen inadvertently!" Meng Xiang raised his chin and said.
Kahn felt a little funny. Both of them were too young. His judgment on Meng Xiang's identity was reduced by a little.
"This is not made by hand!" He said, touching the edge of the ugly machine gun with obvious signs of machining.
"In order to save costs, we chose riveting parts!" Meng Xiang stopped talking and clicked directly.
This ugly machine gun is naturally the mg-42. To be honest, it was a bit too early to get the mg-42 out of the way, 4 years ahead of time. Although there is nothing too complicated in technology, the improvement of consciousness is the key.
Kahn kept thinking that the large number of riveting parts used greatly improved production efficiency, and greatly saved materials and cost. If the imperial machine was used to produce, it would be less than half of the mg-34 that was wasted metal.
Mengxiang is the most proof. Even if the production price of mg-42 at this time is only half price, the price is still similar to that of mg-34. You should know that mg-34 is one-eighth of the cost price.
Kahn estimated a rough data and couldn't help but be shocked. He looked at Captain Anim who was also surprised, and then looked at William with a solemn expression on his face. He couldn't help but feel extremely interested in the organization behind Meng Xiang. He still didn't believe Meng Xiang's words. It would be impossible to make such a machine gun without rich mechanical knowledge.
"This is our heavy rain machine gun!" Meng Xiang originally planned to push it to the false organization behind it, but the arrogant captain stabbed him, making him decide to put the inventor of this machine gun on his own. In a hurry, the name was not good. Thinking of the rainy rain needle in the novel, Meng Xiang only took the name of rainy rain.
"Storm?" Kahn muttered its Chinese voice. Listening to the translation of Mian 27 and Meng Xiang's confident tone, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Is this really a Chinese work? He looked at Mian 1 and Mian 1 than him. He looked at Meng Xiang, who was chuckling at William with a little smugness, and couldn't help but insist on his original judgment. Even though this machine gun was a Chinese work, it still wouldn't matter much to this young general. He was just a puppet that was pushed out.
But no matter what, this rainstorm machine gun is the most needed by the Empire, which is relatively scarce. The tactics of the Imperial Team are carried out around the core of the machine gun, but the high cost and complex processes of the mg-34, even if the machinery of the entire Empire is activated together, cannot meet the needs of the entire Imperial Team. It is impossible to change all the equipment and equip the new army that is constantly present in three or four years.
However, this heavy rain machine gun is a hope. Of course, it still needs further testing to prove whether it can adapt to various harsh environments.
"The Empire needs it!" Kahn decided in his heart. Compared with the Soviet tank that could be learned from, he was more optimistic about this rainstorm machine gun when he came out of World War I.
"So can we talk about these two weapons now? We are very sincere!" Kahn is not just an excellent commanding officer.
"I think,..." Meng Xiang quickly glanced at the distance, Kahn saw the small movements in their hands again.
"I think we have greater sincerity to show the bright future of our cooperation!" Meng Xiang threw out the trading items he wanted to take out.
"What? Do you have a Bavarian-class battleship?" Kahn, who had always had a calm expression, was a little disappointed. The Bavarian-class battleship was of great significance to the Germans. This is considered to be the last class battleship built in World War I, and its performance is a little stronger than the prototype of the Queen Elizabeth battleship, which was the main force of the UK at this time.
However, the current Queen Elizabeth battleship has been undergoing its second large-scale modernization modification since last year, and its performance has been greatly improved after the modification.
The Bavarian-class battleship itself has good performance, and the 380mm giant cannon is not out of date at all. After modern modification, it can be used as a main ship.
After Kahn was surprised, he first didn't believe it. Where were the Bavarian-class battleships there? The only two built ships sank into the seabed, and the other two were demolished before they were built. Kahn knew this very well, and he had seen his old friend cry with his own eyes.
"This is what we built!" Meng Xiang began to fool him again.
Kahn smiled and said nothing. He thought that the Chinese general was talking big. According to his understanding, China's industry, especially heavy industry, can be said to be a handicraft workshop. If you want to build a battleship with a variety of technologies, you can listen to it as a joke.
"Our people carefully studied the Baden when they came to salvage it. Fortunately, we met an engineer who had participated in the manufacture of it, and received some help from him, and obtained a set of incomplete drawings. When the Bavarian battleship was salvaged in 1934, we also had comparisons and research, and received help from other enthusiastic people. In this way, we were sure to create her." Meng Xiang paused, and while organizing the subsequent language, he glanced at Kahn's slightly moved expression.
"Luckily, we can make her and it's making it. She is already very advanced to us. To save money, we built two at once."
"You?" Kahn still didn't believe that China could build a battleship representing the peak of a country's technology and strength at this time.
"Of course, I am the owner of those two battleships!" Meng Xiang pretended to be guilty, "But unfortunately, recently, due to the war with the Japanese, there was a small problem in our finances."
Kahn immediately understood Meng Xiang's words.
"I need the help of our empire?" Kahn believed Meng Xiang's random talk. It would be no question if the Bavarian battleship was created by the forces behind this young general. He only saw the equipment in the vanguard army and the two surprise gifts today, and he knew that that force had the ability to build Bavarian-class battleships.
"No, we are almost creating her. But we don't need her now, we need to find a buyer!" Meng Xiang added with a smile, "Cheap handling!"
"Two ships? When will they be built?" Kahn suppressed the ups and downs of his mood and said in a calm tone. Germany is expanding its troops in a large manner, but the British navy is still a thorn in the hearts of the Germans. Although he often scolds those naval bastards, it does not prevent him from considering the huge role of the Imperial Navy.
Domestic factories are working hard to catch up with the British Navy. But the last cheap handling of this young Chinese general is very meaningful. It is estimated that there are financial problems in the battle with the Japanese and they need to be balanced before they can be sold. I just don’t know how the quality of the warship is.
"When will it be good?" However, he didn't mention all this, just asked.
After the production is completed, you will know the quality at that time. Then you will be interested in knowing how cheap it is. If the quality is not good, even if it is cheap, the empire will spend this money in vain.
When Meng Xiangyi saw that the battleships during World War I were still at high prices, facing the base's cost price of only 24 cents, he never gave up chasing this huge profit. The arms transaction was already very profitable, and Meng Xiang had already sold a lot of guns and cannons, and he had a deep understanding. But compared with the warship transaction, Meng Xiang was still stunned by the huge profit figure.
The manufacturing of the Bavarian battleship base only costs more than one million oceans, and the cost of its manufacturing at that time was estimated to be more than three million pounds. Even if it was a bit out of date, it could be sold for more than one million pounds at a low price. If it was replaced with the ocean, it would be tens of millions. Such a transaction could solve the fiscal deficit on the base area once.
The coefficient for building Bavarian-class battleship battleships is 0.7, which means that the second-class shipbuilding center can be built 14 tons per hour, and it can be manufactured day and night, and the designed displacement of 28,530 tons will not take three months.
In response to this, while Meng Xiang was in contact with the Germans, he was also building a new base car.
"Since there is no port and the threat of the Japanese navy is too great, I will go to remote places overseas to build it! Even if the base is upgraded, five months will be enough!" Meng Xiang thought angrily, and said with a smile: "In five months, Mr. Kahn can see the two intact Bavarian-class battleships."
Chapter completed!
