Chapter XIII Second report
Wesley paused before continuing, "Rapid-fire guns are the future, and I don't think anyone will object to that, and my arsenal has developed a series of new guns. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wesley continues to launch products from his own factory, which makes Mr. President laugh and cry, the key is that the U.S. military needs too little, isolationism is now the most prevalent stage, and how many people are there in the U.S. Army now?
Without waiting for them to speak, Wesley waved his hand directly, and the workers of the arsenal brought three mortars, Wesley pointed to the smallest one and said: "60mm caliber mortar, light and simple, most suitable for platoon-level combat units, each infantry platoon carries one, which can ensure long-range fire support, especially today I talked about the new war mode, this kind of curved artillery can completely attack the trench, and at the same time can accurately clear the enemy's machine gun fire." ”
Then he pointed to the other two, "80mm is suitable for company-level combat units, 120mm is suitable for battalion-level combat units, so that the firepower below the battalion level is four kinds of firearms and three mortars, and the firepower projection density per unit area is definitely leading the world, and it is suitable for attacking enemy positions, with the addition of this grenade, then everything is perfect." ”
Wesley picked up a grenade from the table at this time, this is Wesley's imitation MK2 grenade, "You need to pull off the pull ring before throwing, and after throwing it, the safety pin on it will fall off, and it will explode five seconds after falling off, which is safe and reliable." ”
Wesley pulled off the ring directly, and then threw it forward with all his might, and his arm strength threw it directly one hundred and fifty meters, and then the grenade exploded, and Wesley surprised everyone. This grenade has a single kill radius of 50 yards, and Wesley picked one up again and said, "The outer shell can form fragments, and the inside is steel balls, even if you can't kill the enemy, it can also allow the opponent to add a large number of wounded, so sometimes it is more cost-effective, small in size, light in weight, and is definitely a must-have supplementary firepower for infantry, cleaning enemy bunkers, and very useful in urban street fighting." ”
Pershing as a soldier, he simply liked these weapons too much, "Can these mortars be fired?" "The mortar that came to prominence in the Russo-Japanese War was a sight to behold, but not many came up with a whole set of mature designs like Wesley.
Wesley waved his hand, and the workers started to do it directly, the 60mm launch speed made everyone's eyes shine, and the display of 80mm and 120mm mortars was not bad at all, and the attack coverage mode of three distances was completely formed, and the use below the battalion level was really good.
Pershing also went up and fired two shots himself, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "There should be artillery, right?" ”
"Yes, but we need to go to the artillery range, and the rest of the artillery is all big guys." Wesley nodded in acknowledgement.
The president saw that the two of them were completely in the same rhythm of selling and buying, "Gentlemen, no matter how good the weapon is, the price must be very expensive, right?" Congress will certainly not give this money. ”
Wesley laughed, looked at the president and said, "Rest assured, Mr. President, I am confident that I can convince them that if you can give me this opportunity, and a huge powder keg is about to explode, can the United States stay out of it?" Does the United States not want interests? So can the guys in Congress really give up the chance for the rise of the United States? ”
"What do you mean?" The president frowned and said that this Wesley is not like a military man, but more like a politician, but yes, he must pay attention to the world in the development of business.
"The rise of Germany will inevitably challenge the original interests, so what kind of sparks will collide between them? I hope that it will not be long before the two sides will begin to settle down, and no one can afford the arms race if it continues, and someone will inevitably be the first to bear it. ”
"But it has nothing to do with us." Mr. President said.
"Does it really matter? This war will be a protracted war in my new war mode, and the United States can make a lot of money, but what about the end of the war? There must be a premise for us to make money, and unless it's a cash transaction, we have to guarantee that the country that owes us the most wins, you say? ”
Mr. President was silent, and Pershing said on the side: "Indeed, if they really all follow your deployment, then it will be difficult for the war to end in a short time." ”
"Well, let's go take a look at the artillery, I'm still waiting for your second report." Mr. President is tempted, who wouldn't want to do something in their term of office?
The group came directly to the artillery range, where several cannons were quietly parked, and Wesley still started with a small caliber, "The 75mm rapid-fire gun can adjust the elevation angle, and there is no problem with direct and curved fire, which is suitable for regimental fire support." 105-mm howitzer, suitable for divisional fire support. "The 75mm rapid-fire gun was designed by Wesley for Apple, which is not a good reference, and the 105mm howitzer is an American M101A1 105mm howitzer, and Wesley uses lightweight rubber tires for these running wheels.
The rear of both guns has two brackets, which are combined in the middle when transported, directly hung on the truck or dragged by a toma, and the fire is separated from both sides and fixed on the ground, both guns are fixed hydraulic, automatic reset design, and then the two guns began to shoot, the speed was very fast, and Pershing's eyes lit up, but he was not too excited this time, because there were bigger guys next to him, and at the same time, he thought it was not enough for the 105mm howitzer to be used as a divisional firepower support.
"Don't you think that firepower is not enough, young man?" Pershing asked directly.
"Of course it's not enough, and that's what my second report is about, the establishment of the army." Wesley said that now he was a captain, despite his excellent grades.
What can a captain do? And it was very difficult for the US military to be promoted during this period, because there was no war, everyone could only mix qualifications, don't look at Pershing is very famous, but now he is only a brigadier general, and he is still promoted exceptionally.
"The establishment of the army?" Pershing muttered, then listened quietly.
"At this stage, all countries have large formations, which in my opinion is not necessary in the slightest, and it is a mistake, especially with my weapons, there is no need for such a large formation."
The president looked at Wesley, 'Is this kid so crazy, is he confident or conceited?' ’
Wesley didn't know what others thought, it had nothing to do with him, so he directly asked him to take a blackboard, and did not continue to introduce the larger caliber artillery in the back, and directly wrote and said on the blackboard.
