Chapter 649 Katyusha, the organ, and the phalanx on the stage of history
Starlin was flirting with her in front of Li Weiguo, almost making Li Weiguo spit her face.
The private affairs of Li Weiguo and Starlin's small room also made the families in the harem very nervous. They were worried that Li Weiguo's taste would change, and even the ugly Western women were favored. They came to persuade him one after another, which made Li Weiguo cry and laugh.
But those things don't matter. Li Weiguo doesn't have to worry about those boring remarks. He just thinks about the information he gets in his mind. It's more important than anything and is related to the future of the Chinese Empire.
This time Starlin visited China in person, of course, she must have something she thought was able to show off and that Li Weiguo could not refuse.
The newly established Soviet Union was not qualified to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, whether in terms of economic strength or military strength. However, Starlin brought Li Weiguo an irresistible condition.
The Ministry of War, Equipment Committee, and members were notified to welcome Li Weiguo to come for inspection.
"I heard that Starlin presented a new weapon to His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire this time, and I don't know what the origin is!"
"What advanced weapons can the Russians have? That is, His Majesty is embarrassed to slap women in the face in person, so he accepted their gifts."
"Why did I hear that it was just a design drawing? The Soviets did not bring the samples together."
"What? Just a drawing? It's outrageous. How dare these Soviets be so arrogant?"
The equipment committee was suddenly furious and expressed their dissatisfaction. In their eyes, the technology of the Chinese Empire was the most advanced in the world and there was no need for the so-called equipment drawings provided by the Soviets.
"The Emperor is here!"
The door sang loudly and the guards saluted. The officials of the equipment committee also stood up and paid tribute to Li Weiguo in unison.
"Please sit down! You may have known what you are today in advance."
Li Weiguo said softly, and everyone nodded, they did know.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of weapon design drawings the Soviets had taken, which could be exchanged for the empire to give up the attack on the Soviet Union."
Peng De, chairman of the Equipment Committee, took the lead in asking, representing the voice of everyone.
"It's nothing, it's just a rocket launcher system called Katyusha! The drawings are brought, so you can take a look first."
Li Weiguo knew that these military equipment experts were not very patient, so he didn't talk to them and turned to the topic directly.
This complete set of design drawings for the Katyusha rocket launcher was handed over to Li Weiguo by Starlin, and it was also a condition for Li Weiguo to temporarily give up the attack on the Soviet Union.
The reason why this Katyusha rocket launcher system attracted Li Weiguo's attention was not because the Soviets were the first to develop this new era weapon of mass destruction system, but because Starlin, as a negotiation transaction, leaked to Li Weiguo, the Soviet Union had handed over another export version of the Katyusha rocket launcher to the German Emperor.
Li Weiguo didn't care about the Soviet Katyusha rocket launchers. Even if the Soviet army had more and more advanced Katyusha rocket launchers systems, the Soviet Union was vulnerable in the face of the strong naval, land, air and military strength of the Chinese Empire, because the Soviet Union now no longer had the strong strategic depth of the Soviet Union in history. The entire Asian part of the Soviet Union had long been returned to the Chinese Empire. Now the Soviet Union only has its European territory. As long as the Chinese Empire launches a full-scale war against the Soviet Union, no matter how many Katyusha rocket launchers there are, they will be destroyed.
The problem is that Starlin is very clear about the huge military gap between the Soviet Union and the Chinese Empire. So after Liening unified the Soviet Union, Starlin visited China as soon as possible and presented the Katyusha rocket launcher system to the Chinese Empire. But this is not a solution, so Starlin's cleverness is that she handed over the Katyusha rocket paper that the Soviet Union handed over to the German Empire to Li Weiguo.
Li Weiguo didn't care about the genuine Katyusha rocket launcher of the Soviet Union, but cared about the castrated Katyusha rocket launcher obtained by the German Empire. Because the current national strength of the Soviet Union could not support the large-scale deployment of Katyusha rocket launcher weapons. On the contrary, the German Empire's huge strategic depth and military foundation would create a terrifying rocket army in a short time.
Now the Chinese Empire and the German Empire are in full swing, and have even fought in Liberia. Li Weiguo is very worried that the German Empire will suddenly use Katyusha rocket launcher to deal with the Chinese Empire's Divine Army.
After all, the rocket launcher has not been fully equipped to the Chinese Empire's Divine Army, especially the Chinese Emperor* on the Liberian battlefield. If they are not sure about the situation, if they are suddenly attacked by the German rocket launcher group, it would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Starlin was very clear about Li Weiguo's needs, so she directly sold the German Empire and handed over all the Katyusha rocket papers obtained by the German army to the Chinese Empire.
In this way, the Chinese Empire will fully grasp the performance and lethality of the Katyusha rocket launcher of the German Empire, and can even predict the output of the German army in a short period of time, etc. These are very useful information and become one of the conditions that even Li Weiguo cannot refuse.
At this moment, the design drawings of Katyusha rocket launchers passed between the members of the Equipment Committee include two parts, one is the design drawings of Katyusha rocket launchers of the Soviet army, and the other is the castrated version of Katyusha rocket launchers sold to the German army by the Soviets.
Among them, the official model of the Soviet version of Katyusha rocket launcher is similar to that in history, except that with Starlin's strong intervention, he avoided many detours.
As you can see from the numbering alone, the official number of the Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher in history was bm-13, because it was achieved through continuous improvement from bm-1. After thirteen major reforms, it became a powerful Katyusha rocket launcher.
Now, under the leadership of Starlin, the Soviets avoided many misunderstandings and saved time and money. In one step, BM-1 was successful.
Peng De patiently looked at the performance indicators of the two sets of Katyusha rocket launchers of Su and Germany, and couldn't help but frown.
In front of him, the bm-3 Katyusha rocket launcher system, which is the design drawing number of the Katyusha rocket launcher of the Soviets for the Chinese Empire. It looks like a formed multi-orbit self-propelled rocket launcher system. There are 12 launch slides with a length of 5 meters, a length of 1450 mm, and a weight of 42.5 kilograms. A volley can launch 24 rockets with a diameter of 132 mm, with a maximum range of 10 kilometers. It can be single or partially shot, or a volley. It takes about 6 to 10 minutes to load ammunition for a volley. It only takes 7 to 13 seconds to volley. The initial speed is 70 meters per second, the high and low shooting boundaries are 7° to 45°, and the left and right shooting boundaries are 10° each. The carrier speed is 60 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 7000 to 8500 meters.
As the Soviets gave the Germans, the Katyusha rocket launcher system was numbered BM-2, with a total of 8 launch slides. The slides are 5 meters long, the length of the ammunition is 1300 mm, and the weight of the ammunition is 40 kilograms. A volley can launch 16 rockets with a diameter of 132 mm, with a maximum range of 8 kilometers. It can be single or partially shot, or a volley. It takes about 6 to 9 minutes to load the ammunition for a volley. It only takes 7 to 11 seconds for a volley. The initial speed is 70 meters per second, the high and low shooting boundary is 7° to 45°, the left and right shooting boundary is 10° each, the cargo speed is 60 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 6500 to 7500 meters.
As soon as you look, you will know that the rocket launcher's firepower is very fierce and has a large range of killing. It is an effective weapon to eliminate dense enemy troops on a large scale, suppress the enemy's firepower and destroy the enemy's fortifications. Once used for large-scale warfare between the main forces of the enemy and our army, it will play a very terrifying decisive role.
The Soviets gave the Germans a castrated version, which can be seen from the number of slides, the power of rockets, and the range of rockets.
However, this just made Peng De frown, and he had not achieved the goal of scaring him. After all, the Chinese Empire also had rocket launcher projects, but it was not disclosed to the public.
In fact, when Li Weiguo learned that the Russian Revolution used anti-tank rockets, he had already guessed that the rocket weapon had been taken out by Starlin, Hitler and others to change history. So Li Weiguo, who was preparing for the future, immediately ordered that the Chinese Emperor's side also began the research and development of various rocket weapons, one of which was the rocket launcher weapon system. After all, the power of rocket launcher can be used as the ultimate weapon on the future battlefield, and it must not be left behind.
Compared with the Katyusha rocket launchers of the Soviets, the rocket launchers of the Chinese Empire also have a name called the dense array.
In the battle sequence of the Chinese Empire, there is another term for dense arrays, which is the carrier-based anti-aircraft artillery system equipped on naval warships. One of the research and development projects is also called dense arrays, but that does not have an impact. It is a naval-type dense array, and an army-type dense array is a rocket launcher.
Peng De stood up, paid tribute to Li Weiguo, and then said: "Your Majesty, just in terms of the itemized performance of Katyusha rocket launchers, I have to admit that the Soviets have reached the international first-class level in rocket launchers' research, but it is still a long way to go beyond the relevant technical level of our Chinese Empire."
Li Weiguo nodded. He had not paid attention to the development of the intensive array system recently. Seeing that Peng De was still confident, he was also very happy.
In fact, Li Weiguo no longer intervened too much in scientific researchers for a long time, but only provided them with a general research direction and topic, so that researchers could find the answers themselves.
The advantage of this is that even without Li Weiguo's command in the future, scientific researchers can have their own independent judgment ability and will not become captive animals without the ability to survive in the wild.
On the contrary, if Li Weiguo blindly intervenes and keeps feeding scientific researchers without letting them exercise themselves to go out and take the initiative to find food, it will completely ruin the scientific research future of the Chinese Empire.
Peng De was the main person in charge of the intensive array research project. At that time, Li Weiguo only issued a future prospect plan for the rocket launcher. He did not take out the future development direction and technology of the rocket launcher, nor did he forcefully break Peng De's head and put this information in it. Under this circumstance, Peng De still completed the development of the intensive array rocket launcher system. This is what made Li Weiguo happiest.
Li Weiguo nodded and said, "So, which is better, between Katyusha and the dense array?"
Peng De of course wanted to give himself a chance to show himself in front of Li Weiguo, so he said: "The intensive array project that I am responsible for has now developed to the m32-type A type. It can realize 32-tube launching slide rails, using 128mm caliber Flame II rockets, weighing 25 kilograms, and can fire 32 flame rockets in one volley, with a maximum flight speed of 420 meters per second, with a maximum range of 10 kilometers. It can be single shot or partially shot, or a volley shot. It takes about 5 minutes to load ammunition for a volley shot, and only 7 to 11 seconds for a volley shot, with a high and low shooting range of 0° to 48°, and a direction shooting range of 30° each, and the carriage speed is 90 kilometers per hour."
Li Weiguo listened to the report and only focused on the sensitivity issues such as the caliber and quantity of rockets.
He asked: "So, the m32 dense array you developed exceeded Katyusha in the number of rockets in one volley, but the 128mm caliber is still slightly inferior to Katyusha's 132mm rockets. What is the lethality comparison?"
Peng De explained: "The difference between 128mm and 132mm is not very big. If both are the same warhead charges, then Katyusha will have a slight advantage. However, as far as I know, the Soviet Union was still very backward in terms of medicine, so it is inferred that Katyusha's 132mm rocket should still use yellow zhayao. Even the German version of Katyusha is at most ordinary t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
"In addition, we have specially developed a special flaming rocket for the m32 dense array, which has added a large amount of combustion agent. In the explosion center, it can instantly melt through steel and consume a lot of oxygen, and even suffocate the enemy like a combustion bomb."
Li Weiguo nodded and turned his eyes to other data.
Under the explanation of Peng De and other relevant personnel, we have a deeper understanding of the m32 dense array.
In fact, in addition to the number and power of rocket launchers, the performance indicators of rocket launchers also determine the battle results, including hit rate, range, maneuverability, secondary loading time and other factors.
Among them, the m32 dense array is compared with bm-3 Katyusha and bm-2 organ (German version Katyusha), and there are still great advantages in ballistic dispersion, that is, hit rate.
For example, the m32 dense array has a distance of only one hundred and sixty-fourth and a direction of only one ninety. The data of Katyusha and the German organ in the Soviet Union have far less than m32's accuracy in hit rate.
Of course, these are all theoretical data. Since the Chinese Emperor's side lacks relevant measured data of the Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher and the German Organ rocket launcher, it is impossible to make a thorough comparison.
However, from a theoretical analysis alone, the Chinese Empire's m32 dense array rocket launcher is obviously much better than the Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher and the German Organ rocket launcher.
As for the actual effect, it can only be tested in war.
