Chapter 55 Raising Military Supplies

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 designing this machine gun to replace old machine guns such as the mg13.

In Yang Wei's design, the size of the prototype machine gun was improved, with better buffering 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.

It can be used as a heavy machine gun when mounted on a lightweight aluminum anti-aircraft tripod or anti-aircraft double bracket mount and a folding anti-aircraft support. These were all designs of the Mauser Company at that time.

Not really.

Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke looked at Yang Wei's design, and the more he looked at it, the more dumbfounded he became, because at that time, according to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was not allowed to produce heavy machine guns. If this kind of general-purpose machine gun happened to solve the problem of treaty restrictions.

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

But Yang Wei saw from Hans Remke's eyes his great interest in this kind of machine gun. The mg34 machine gun is destined to be widely used in history. There is no doubt about this. As a person of later generations who knows the history well,

Yang Wei is not worried. His drawings are only for guidance and promotion. There is still a certain period of time before the mass production and use of the mg34 general-purpose machine gun. Blood Quenching Mountain River 55

Yang Wei took advantage of Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke's excitement and said: "In addition to this general-purpose machine gun, I also plan to design a gun family that can realize heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the machine.

The box, back cover and other parts are all common, which can greatly reduce production and maintenance costs and make it easier to respond to various situations on the battlefield. Although your country has been subject to strict restrictions on weapons production and manufacturing this year, this machine gun uses

It is not a field rifle bullet, but an assault rifle bullet. Strictly speaking, this intermediate-power bullet is for use in light machine guns and will not violate treaty restrictions."

Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke couldn't help but nodded. If the machine gun mentioned by Yang Wei could really be designed, the advanced nature of German weapons could be guaranteed. At the same time, although the production and use of heavy machine guns were restricted,

Once encountering special situations on the battlefield, this machine gun can be used as a heavy machine gun, which is simply the best of both worlds.

Yang Wei's bold yet rigorous design made it difficult for Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke not to be moved. He temporarily agreed to take Yang Wei's design drawings back for professional researchers to study and test the feasibility. Regarding this,

Yang Wei is very confident, and the development process of a weapon requires many experiments, especially actual performance tests on the battlefield. The Germans cannot conduct experiments in their own country, and the only way then is to send them to

China came to experiment with its own troops.

And Yang Wei is very confident that his drawings have no problems. They are basically the completed designs and can definitely withstand any test. Although it is just an experimental model in the eyes of everyone, it can fully guarantee the performance and save a lot of money.

, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

At the expense of machine gun blueprints and intermediate-power gun family blueprints, Yang Wei requested to purchase a batch of German Commission rifles from Germany. Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke and von Box immediately readily agreed, but it only took three months to prepare the weapons.

We can't let our soldiers idle for three months. If we temporarily prepare other weapons, they won't meet Yang Wei's needs at all, and it will be a waste of funds. Weapons for one regiment are no joke.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei suddenly came up with the idea of ​​the Germans marching arsenal in Shanghai.

Based on previous conversations with Feng Box, Yang Wei knew that the Box family had a large arsenal in Shanghai, which could just meet the current needs if it was just borrowed.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Feng Box shook his head repeatedly and said: "Mr. Yang, are you kidding? The wear and tear of the weapon will have a great impact on its quality. How can it be borrowed?"

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, and he refused to lend the weapon out no matter what. Yang Wei could only sigh and said: "Originally, I planned to finalize the weapon matter as soon as possible and complete the driving mechanism of the turret as soon as possible. Now,

It seems there is no time."

When he said this, Yang Wei was not looking at von Bocks, but Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke. Hearing about the transformation of the turret's driving mechanism, he showed great interest. Yang Wei was waiting for him step by step.

After taking the bait, he immediately hit the rails while it was hot: "Since the current turret is a hydraulic hand-operated 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 turret rotation speed."

Speed ​​is life on the battlefield, and sometimes a few seconds can change the entire battlefield. Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, raised his head and looked at Yang Wei and said: "Mr. Yang, are you sure you can complete the turret rotation?"

Institutional improvement work?”

Yang Wei nodded swornly. After all, the weapon blueprint in his head was the final design that had been finalized after countless experiments. It was absolutely guaranteed to be foolproof. He was extremely sensitive to numbers and would never misremember the dimensions of any part. He was confident that

It goes without saying.

After seeing Yang Wei's design, Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke's praise for Yang Wei increased even more. Now with Yang Wei's confident answer, Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke nodded, with a rare expression on his face.

’ He showed an expression of trust and said to von Box: “In this case, Mr. Box, for the sake of the development of weapons in the Greater German Empire, I hope you can go out of your way to provide Mr. Yang with weapons for temporary loan for training.”

Von Box suddenly opened his mouth and was stunned. He didn't expect that he was here to help Yang Wei find a solution, but was plotted by Yang Wei. Von Box was about to cry at this time, but Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke issued an order

The order was too hard for me to resist, so I could only silently nodded and agreed to the requests of both parties.

After everything was agreed upon, Carl Schkom suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, we have forgotten the most important thing. Instructor Adolf Sturt is still waiting outside!"

Only then did Yang Wei learn that Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke came here specifically to bring the training instructors he had promised to Yang Wei. Only then did Carl Schchem bring the instructors in and introduce them to Yang Wei.

After all, Instructor Adolf Sturt had trained many troops, and most of the officers trained under him were famous officers who were active in various battlefields during World War I. Yang Weiton was pleased and personally made arrangements for Officer Adolf Stett.

After the translator and room, Yang Wei sent away Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke and Feng Box, and called in Xing Jun, Fang Dacheng, Li Tiegang, Wang Xiao, Qian Chengshan and others.

Yang Wei sat upright and said: "Listen up, next we are going to work under Jiangsu Governor Qi Xieyuan. I will go to Nanjing to take up my post in the next two days. What you have to do is to recruit carefully and carefully. We must do it this time
