Krupp's trembling voice at the moment made Zhuo Fei, who lowered his head to assemble the parts, laugh secretly, I'm afraid that you are not interested, as long as you are interested, your next plan will be implemented. "Mr. Krupp, I designed this gun, and I naturally know what it means." Handing the assembled assault rifle to Krupp to play with, Zhuo Fei looked at Krupp who couldn't put it down with a smile.

Zhuo Fei knew that Krupp was the most famous weapon manufacturing family in Europe, but he didn't know much about the people of the Krupp family, and he didn't know that the Mr. Krupp standing in front of him was none other than Gustav 61 Krupp, the current ruler of the Krupp family. Gustav 61 Krupp was born in 1870 in The Hague, the Netherlands, to a family of bankers, and married Beta 61 Krupp in 1906 and entered the Krupp family. During the First World War, he inherited his father-in-law's property and became chairman of the board of directors of the Krupp company.

Gustav was a diligent entrepreneur who conscientiously managed his wife's vast estate, maintained the Krupp business model, maintained good relations with the state, and constantly sold arms to him. In the course of World War I and World War II, Gustav and the Krupp Group he led played an important role. At the peak of the Krupp company's arms production, the Krupp Reich employed 200,000 people, directly or indirectly, to manufacture artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, submarines and various light weapons for the German army.

Worthy of being in charge of the Krupp family, Gustav had already come to a conclusion just by looking at the bullets in the magazine. "Young man, don't you think it's a waste to create bullets of a new caliber? Why can't the caliber of the bullet of this new rifle be the same as that of the Mauser rifle cartridge, at least it will reduce a lot of processes and troubles in logistics and transportation. ”

"Mr. Krupp, I would like to remind you that the infantry weapons equipped by the German army are mainly 7.92mm rifle cartridges, the Japanese are 6.5mm, the Soviet Union is 7.62mm, and the M1 semi-automatic rifle, M1 semi-automatic rifle, and M1 carbine of the US army are all 7.62mm caliber." Zhuo Fei didn't finish all the things he wanted to say at once, in fact, these caliber bullets not only have different calibers, but also different lengths, and the caliber and specifications of the bullets used by various countries are actually very confusing at this time.

What Zhuo Fei actually wants to say is that the 7,92 mm used by Germany now must be eliminated, and the caliber is too large for the infantry to carry more ammunition. Now that Zhuo Fei's AK series of firearms has come out, if Germany wants this rifle, then they have to unify their ammunition caliber into a 7.62mm caliber, so that the millions of Mauser rifles used by the German Wehrmacht can only be sold, and only in this way can Zhuo Fei's next plan be implemented.

Zhuo Fei's words made Gustav fall into deep thought, and before Gustav could ask again, Zhuo Fei preemptively said, "Mr. Krupp, the current international situation, I think you must know very well that the rise of Germany is unstoppable. However, the geography in which Germany is now located greatly limits Germany's development, and if Germany wants to regain its glory, Germany will inevitably expand outward, and in this way, Germany will also have conflicts with many European countries. So, personally, I think that a German-led war must be inevitable. ”

Gustav had forgotten that he still wanted to ask about this new gun, and instead looked at Zhuo Fei with round eyes, and said to himself, how did this little guy see this? "Mr. Krupp, think about Germany's position in Europe, although Britain and France have extended a so-called olive branch to Germany in the near future, I am afraid that their actual intentions will also be brought to some trouble by Germany, after all, the Slavs are not all fools, and they will definitely not sit idly by and watch Czechoslovakia fall into the hands of Germany like this."

"Since the British fleet made waves in the world to develop colonies, Britain and France are actually the two-stirring sticks of Europe, and it was they who led the sanctions against Germany after World War I, and now they are the ones who want to use Germany to contain the Soviet Union, but from the general direction, taking the Czech Republic is a good opportunity for Germany. Since there can be no compromise, then the matter can only be solved by means of war, otherwise the rise of Germany can only exist on pieces of paper. ”

"The outbreak of war has been anticipated, and it is necessary to prepare for it in advance, as I just said, most of the Soviets' rifles are 7.62mm caliber. In the event of a war between Germany and the Soviet Union, regardless of who wins or loses, the Soviets will inevitably capture large quantities of ammunition on the battlefield in the future. It would be a tragedy if these ammunition could not be used, and it would be impossible to get the enemy to change the ammunition specifications, so you had to start with yourself. What a wonderful thing it is to use captured ammunition from the enemy on the spot without burdening logistical transport, I think you should understand what I mean. ”

Zhuo Fei did not say that the practice of later generations has also proved that the 7.92 caliber bullet used by Germany is the worst practical ammunition, and it will be painful in the future, so it is better to endure the pain and change it now. In addition, the arsenals of the enemy countries that Germany will occupy in the future can immediately organize production, which can greatly reduce Germany's logistical burden, which is too important. Zhuo Fei's words were endless, and he didn't give Gustav a chance to interject at all, in fact, the person in power who had controlled Krupp for many years didn't know what he was going to say.

Gustav, who became a listener, thought quickly in his head, and as Zhuo Fei's words paused, a thought flashed through Gustav's mind, that is, he must promote the production of this new rifle in Krupp. Gustav was not at all worried about the trouble that the change in ammunition caliber would bring to the German military industry, and compared with the complete change of ammunition caliber, the production of this new model was only one of the changes, and the other weapons in the German armament could still retain the original ammunition caliber.

Some anxious Gustav couldn't remember to say goodbye to those guys outside, so he hurriedly left through the back door with Zhuo Fei, and the Junker nobles in Germany often went to the shooting range to put a few shots, so they opened a shooting range in the basement of the Hansen family manor. Gustav and Zhuo Fei came to the shooting range, Gustav bent down and took out the AK assault rifle from the long box, then picked up a magazine, loaded the magazine a little rusty according to Zhuo Fei's guidance, and then pulled the bolt to sweep at the humanoid target a hundred meters in front of him.

"Dada...... Da ...... "Dust immediately flew in front of the muzzle, and in just a few seconds, Gustav ran out of a magazine. When the dust under the target position cleared, Gustav saw that the target in front of him was full of bullet holes, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart that it was really wonderful, especially the rapid and incomparable firepower of this new rifle left a deep impression on Gustav. "Young man, I have to say that this new rifle is indeed very good, but there is a problem, it seems to be too ammo-intensive."

Gustav was a weapons manufacturer and would not fail to see the benefits of this new rifle, but he could also see the disadvantages of the AK rifle at a glance. Zhuo Fei didn't speak, but as a result, the AK rifle in Gustav's hand was replaced with a spare magazine, and then the gun was raised to face the target in the distance. Zhuo Fei's body shook rhythmically with the sound of the gunshot, and Gustav was surprised to find that Zhuo Fei had been firing three bursts since he pulled the trigger.

With the same magazine, Gustav used a burst of shots to shoot them all, but Zhuo Fei is now using three bursts, which far surpasses the bullet that Gustav fired just now, both in terms of firepower coverage time and accuracy. Lowering the muzzle of the gun, Zhuo Fei smiled at Gustav and said, "Mr. Krupp, I have already considered this problem when designing this new gun, so I have added a small part to this new gun, so that it can fire in bursts, three bursts or single shots. ”

Seeing the setting on the side of the trigger guard, Gustav couldn't help but be very interested, and then grabbed the rifle and fired two magazines in succession, which was satisfactory according to Zhuo Fei's instructions and handed the rifle in his hand to Huffman, who was standing on the side. In front of Gustav, Huffman, who was already very familiar with the AK rifle, demonstrated the disassembly steps for Gustav in a hurry, and finally assembled the gun again in a dazzling but fast movement.

Gustav made no secret of his possessiveness for this new rifle, and Zhuo Fei was also secretly happy, just looking at Gustav's current expression, Zhuo Fei knew that the plan to sell this new gun to Hitler had been half successful. "Mr. Krupp, I have just explained to you the benefits of the new ammunition caliber, and now you have also seen the simplicity of the disassembly steps of this new gun, any soldier who has been in contact with this new gun for more than a week will be able to skillfully disassemble and maintain the gun, the soldier's familiarity with the weapon will greatly affect the victory of a battle, I don't know if you agree with my point of view/"

Zhuo Fei's words made Gustav nod subconsciously, in fact, the strong firepower performance of this new gun has successfully conquered Gustav, through the test firing just now, Gustav has been determined to recommend this new gun to the Führer for production. Gustav knew that this matter had to be agreed by the great Führer, and the Mauser rifles that the Wehrmacht had reloaded would certainly not be wasted. In fact, Germany did not worry about selling arms at all, and within two years Germany could sell these replacement Mauser guns, and two years was enough for Krupp to produce enough new rifles to arm the Wehrmacht.
