If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This sentence is not the first time Lu Shan has felt it deeply. Even in China decades later, this sentence can still make the Chinese feel a painful pain!

It is easy to introduce equipment and technology, but it is too difficult to operate. If you don’t have your own things, it is not enough to just introduce other people’s things. If you don’t want to be controlled by others, you must have your own core things!

Only when you have money, technology and talent can you have hope for China's future.

Now there are none of these three things, and there are barely some technology, but most of them are relatively old. Although they are old, they are in line with China's current national conditions. Money is a big problem. Lu Shan now wants to spend a penny as tens of dollars, and he has to be careful in doing anything. As for talents, this is even more impatient. There is no effect without ten or eight years.

Therefore, there must be sacrifices. If the lost time cannot be returned, then we can only exchange it for another. The pain is certain, but for the future, it is necessary to have a little pain.

"Ivan, this pistol is actually not advanced. In fact, the Soviet army has equipped pistols similar to this type. The model is tt1930, which is designed by Tokarev and a semi-automatic pistol produced by the Cla Arsenal. In 1930, it became a Soviet-style pistol. This one is based on its design improvement type!" Lu Shan remembered that the May Fourth pistol was designed based on the Tt1933 pistol, and it has some fine adjustments in size to make it more suitable for the use of Chinese small palms. Now the improved version of this gun should not have been made yet. If this design is used to change some production lines with the Soviet Union, it should not be a big problem!

"What do you mean is we cooperate with the Soviet Union?" Ivanov said in surprise.

"Well, since this gun is based on their design improvement, their production line will naturally be useful to us, and we don't need much advanced things. We can't afford it. If you buy two production lines for one design, the Soviet Union should agree to this business. What's more, this is just a pistol production line!" Lu Shan said.

"It's OK, but the Soviet Union may not agree!"

"It doesn't matter if they don't agree. We can sell their weapon design drawings, especially to his opponent!" Lu Shan smiled slightly.

"I understand what you mean, you can try it, but you should be careful when dealing with these untrustworthy people!" Ivanov reminded with kindness.

"Don't worry, I have a lot in my mind about the design of the pistol. I will suffer at most once. But the Soviet Union will have to pay a heavier price!" Lu Shan smiled coldly.

"This gun should be almost done. You only need to process it a little bit on a few parts, and it will be completed!" Lu Shan asked, "How many have you produced in total?"

"There are about ten guns in total, all of which are test guns!"

"Well, improve it as soon as possible, I need to know the test results!" Lu Shan nodded.

"OK!"

The Type 54 pistol is at most a suitable product. Except for the design, it takes into account some Chinese habits and hand shapes and makes some modifications, there are no other changes.

However, the May Fourth Style is the most suitable for China. Because it has a simple structure, is not easy to damage, is relatively simple to maintain, and is powerful, with a considerable lethality of 100 meters, which is amazing for the pistol!

However, this kind of gun is slightly heavier, which may not be as useful as a box cannon for some people. The reason why Lu Shan got it out was mainly to equip special forces!

Special forces want such powerful and easy-to-maintain pistols. If they are equipped with silencers, they are a killing weapon!

Also, the production cost of this pistol can be said to be the lowest among the same type of pistols, which also meets the current needs of Dong Kang.

Cost, production technology, and production processes are all currently needed to be controlled. Lu Shan is not without complex guns.

Lu Shan came to the rifle area. Before World War II, the world's three major rifle systems were: the Russian-made Mosin Nagan series, the German-made Mauser series, and the British Lee Enfield series.

These three rifle series have developed relatively maturely, each with its own points and shortcomings.

The Mauser rifle was invented by the Mauser brothers and is the world's first rotating rear pull bolt rifle. The Mauser rifle is safe, simple and reliable main lighting. Most manual rifles are applied and improved based on the rear pull bolts designed by them.

Moreover, the Mauser rifle is the world's first smokeless powder rifle bullet.

The Lee Enfield rifle was the first "short rifle". Its characteristic is that it uses a rotating garbage bolt with a rear end lock invented by James Paris Lee. Compared with the front end locking gun, the rear end locking can shorten the bolt's stroke and load the bullets faster; it is equipped with a box magazine, and a double row of magazines (the magazine is not removed during use, and the bullets are filled by two 5 rounds of magazines through the top of the receiver). This way, there are 10 rounds of bullets, which increases the continuous firepower compared to the 5 rounds of the rifle capacity of the contemporary era. It is one of the fastest-firing rotating rear pull bolts in actual combat, and it has the advantages of strong reliability and easy operation.

During the trench warfare in World War I, its rapid firepower left a deep impression on the enemy.

Mosin Nagan is one of the earliest smokeless launching medicine small-caliber military rifles. Compared with other similar military rifles of the Mauser series, Lee Enfield series and other contemporary eras, its bolt design seems more complicated. Its design is rough and outdated, and the overall operation feels clumsy than these rifles.

The advantage of the Mosin Nagan rifle is that it is easy to produce and simple and reliable to use. It is extremely important for the Soviet Russian army with low industrial foundation and low military education. Especially during the harsh war period, the package needs to increase the output of weapons to meet the needs of the front line, and a large number of additional combatants often lack training time.

In terms of combat performance, the Mosin Nagan rifle is almost the same as the same rifles of the same generation. Its effective range is 400 meters, and it can reach 800 meters with the assistance of the scope. The actual rate of fire is 10 to 12 rounds per minute.

The Mauser 98k has high shooting accuracy, but it does not have an advantage in actual combat. At present, the main enemy of the Chinese team is Japan. When dealing with the Japanese, the Mauser 98k is enough!

Although Japan's 38 style is also good, it has little lethality. Lu Shan doesn't like it. Although the arsenal already has mature technology, it is not difficult to imitate it at all. Even as long as the factory is built and the equipment is in place, production can be carried out immediately.

Moreover, if the 38th Style is imitated, it is also common to the Japanese bullet caliber, and it can be used directly after seizure, which greatly saves costs.

Although I don’t like it, imitation is still necessary because it is necessary to ensure the battle needs and save costs.

In addition to imitating the 38th style, Lu Shan prefers to imitate the Mauser 98k, which is already very mature. There are also many improvements to improve it. At most, it is slightly adjusted in usage habits. One of this rifle was used after World War II and was launched on the historical stage many years later, which shows that it is a very excellent gun.

As long as there are drawings, data, and production lines, it is not difficult to produce such rifles. This is also one of the most important products after the completion of the Yilan Arsenal. It is currently under trial production and testing. Lu Shan has seen many such guns hanging on the table and the walls, and the buttstocks are all new, which is obviously only recently built!

Just take down one pole and pull the bolt, and the familiar sound comes into your ears. The feeling is different.

A person who loves guns and knows guns can determine the quality of the gun as soon as he gets the gun. The quality can be determined by the barrel and casting process, put it in his hand and weigh it, then pull the bolt to listen to the sound. You can determine whether this is a good gun.

"Yes, Ivan, who did this gun come from?" Lu Shan asked.

"I am a student of mine, named Su Quan. He made all of this guns himself, and his name is on the stock!" Ivanov said.

"Oh?" Lu Shan raised the butt and saw that there was indeed a line of tiny handwriting behind it, saying "Su Quan September 24, 1932".

"A gun is a good gun. I don't know how it is used. Is it corrected?" Lu Shan asked.

"Not yet. He just completed this gun yesterday. He hadn't had time to get the shooting range to test the gun!" Ivanov said.

"I like this gun very much. If you do this, we will go to the shooting range to test the gun tomorrow. You tell him, how about I'll test the gun for him?" Lu Shan couldn't put it down. This is indeed a good gun. Although he has good skills in changing guns, if he builds a gun, he may not be very tall.

People who can make guns alone are very powerful, which is different from running water production.

This requires higher requirements and you must be proficient in all technologies and processes. Generally speaking, it is impossible to do without seven or eight years of hard work.

"Okay, no problem!" Ivanov agreed immediately.

Neither pistol nor rifle were the key points Lu Shan should look at. His purpose was to be a semi-automatic rifle.

Today, the world's military powers are developing semi-automatic rifles. The Garland semi-automatic rifles of the United States, the later famous m1, the Soviet Union's SVT40 and SKS46, the German GeW43, and the French FN49, are typical representatives of semi-automatic rifles.

Semi-automatic rifles, also known as carbines, were widely used in World War II and were an important firepower supplement for infantry attacks.

The svt40 rifle is actually a very good semi-automatic rifle. The so-called complex structure and poor reliability are only relative to Mosin Nagan. The svt shooting is accurate and comfortable to operate. These advantages are confirmed by those enemies who like svt rifles and German soldiers who seized svts. However, most Soviet soldiers are not of high quality and lack sufficient training, so the svt40 is a bit "complex" to them, so many Soviet soldiers do not like this rifle, so this excellent semi-automatic rifle was discontinued after only 100,000 of them.

The Simon Lov semi-automatic carbine, referred to as SKS, was replaced by the SVT40. The later imitation model of this gun in China was the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

This gun has outstanding advantages, with light weight, high shooting accuracy, reliable mechanism movement, etc. It can also be equipped with a folding bayonet, which can conduct hand-to-hand combat, and the bayonet is a sword blade shape!

This gun was withdrawn after Lu Shan entered the army. Only when the militia troops still had a small amount of equipment, this gun was only used as a guard of honor for the etiquette.

The times are progressing, and the 56-style exit from the stage of history is an inevitable result, but now, this gun is still very advanced!

However, his casting process is relatively complicated. At present, China's arsenal does not have the ability to manufacture large-scale products. Even if there are design drawings and data, but without some key equipment, such guns cannot be made, such as 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, stamping machines, milling machines, etc.

Of course Lu Shan chose the latter, after all, it is a familiar gun that has been used and has known and used. He is well aware of its performance and parameter characteristics.

Moreover, these two guns are almost the same. Although the former is excellent, they were eliminated. There is a reason. China is not much different from the Soviet Union in this regard. A rifle that was later used for about 30 years before it was eliminated must have its own reasons. Lu Shan has no reason not to choose the latter.

But he didn't plan to give up the former. Since he couldn't use it, could he sell it to others? The Germans seized a lot of SVT in World War II, and the German soldiers liked this kind of gun very much, so later the Germans' early gew43 also borrowed a lot of SVT's design advantages, so if they sold this design to the Germans, it would be a pretty good choice!

If the Mauser 98k improvement model is just a stepping stone to cooperate with the Germans, then this svt is a key gift for further cooperation with the Germans and opening the door to cooperation.

As for whether this is considered plagiarism, Lu Shan ignored it. The designers of these two semi-automatic rifles probably don’t have this idea yet. As for whether they will not design these two guns in the future, it is hard to say.

Both of these guns are still on the drawings. Lu Shan did not see the sample gun, but he saw the drawings that had been designed and were almost completed.

Lu Shan did not directly give the drawings for these two guns. He only described the shape and performance of these two guns to Ivanov at that time, and gave some parameters and tips. The final design drawing was completed by Ivanov himself!

Unexpectedly, he had completed the design sketch so quickly, which surprised Lu Shan very much. Ivanov's work efficiency was beyond his expectations.

"Lu, do you think these two design drawings were painted by me?" Ivanov saw the surprise and doubt in Lu Shan's eyes.

"Isn't it? Isn't this your signature?" Lu Shan asked with a finger on the signature on the design drawing.

"Although these two design drawings have my signature, they are not my credit!" Ivanov said, "or rather, it is not entirely my credit!"

"You mean, there are other authors of these two designs?"

"Yes, Lu, most of these two design drawings are my students. I just mentioned Su Quan's paintings. I just gave him some guidance and corrections. The others were completed by him. But if I wanted to make a trial production, only my signature can receive the materials and equipment, so I signed them on it!" Ivanov said.
Chapter completed!
