"So, your army agreed to our offer of a loan for arms?" The bearded Duke of Württemberg stood up excitedly, Wu Chenxuan had a psychological barrier to his veneer etiquette, and quietly picked up a chic pistol from the table and fiddled with it in his hand.

"This is a modification of the Hugo Borchardt pistol developed in 1900 by our engineer George 61 Ruger. In fact, his experiment was successfully developed in 1899. In 1900, it began to produce improved products, which should be regarded as the world's first standard military semi-automatic pistol, which was adopted by Sweden that year. Württemberg gave Wu Chenxuan a strange look when he said this, he must have wondered why the Chinese did not choose a pistol with excellent performance like Luger, but were so interested in the broom handle that the Mauser brothers had not sold all over the world. Of course, he will not understand what the Mauser C96 and his cousins mean to China when the whole world is carrying out the so-called impartial arms embargo against China that is fighting against Japan in the world, it is simply an artifact that kills the incomparably long 38 big cover in close combat, what? Japan also has a southern pistol that imitates Luger, oh, this kind of thing that is often used to kill people is just an adult toy that looks like a pistol, so let's not let him go on stage to disgust everyone. "After that, Ruger continued to carry out reforms and the year before last it was chosen as the standard * pistol of our army and named Parabellum 08, using 9x19mm pistol cartridges, if you are interested we can also consider transferring this pistol"

Wu Chenxuan fiddled with the Luger P08 unique toggle locking mechanism, one of the Germans' chronic problems is that they are too much in pursuit of perfection, and always treat standard weapons as handicrafts to produce, such as this kind of finely processed, popular pistols will certainly be widely praised if equipped with troops, but it will also become a nightmare for the quartermaster department and the financial department, its precise locking mechanism, high-precision machined parts, which means that precision and high performance are synonymous with non-resistance and high cost.

In the face of several contemporaneous pistols in history, Wu Chenxuan still chose the M1911 pistol as the prototype for transformation, and now this weapon has begun to be mass-produced, and the "six sub-cannons" in the hands of soldiers will become the personal weapons of our national defense forces for a long time in the future. However, Württemberg certainly wouldn't like the American pistol, which was named the "Daystar" style military* pistol.

However, when the sample gun came out, all the generals of the Wehrmacht liked this decent defensive weapon very much, and changed the original 0.45 inch (11.43mm) caliber to the same 9x19mm pistol cartridge as the Germans, 10 rounds of double-row magazine feeding, warhead muzzle velocity: 240m/s, effective range: 50m, gun length: 219mm...

The automatic mode of the Daystar pistol is the barrel short recoil type, and the locking method is the barrel offset type (the barrel swings up and down around the twisted chain), also known as the barrel swing type or the barrel landing type. After the bullet is fired, under the action of gunpowder gas pressure (or manually loading when the sleeve is pulled by hand), the sleeve and the barrel recoil together, because the lower end of the hinge is fixed on the sleeve seat, so its upper end rotates backwards, and after crossing the dead center (playing the role of delayed unlocking), it gradually pulls the tail end of the barrel downward and swings down to unlock the lock. When the sleeve is re-advanced and pushed into the chamber, the barrel is pushed back into place, because the lower rear end of the barrel is connected with the sleeve seat for the hinge, so when the barrel moves forward, the hinch is rotated forward, and the tail end of the barrel is jacked, so that the two locking ribs above the back of the barrel just enter the corresponding locking groove on the inner wall of the sleeve.

Daystar uses a simple and reliable single-action firing mechanism, so it can only shoot single-shot. Its firing and firing mechanism consists of a firing pin, hammer and many modern pistols, and the Daystar has a variety of safety mechanisms to prevent the gun from accidentally misfiring. The insurance institutions of Daystar pistols include manual insurance, grip insurance, and semi-standby insurance. The manual fuse is located on the upper left side of the gun body. Push the fuse button upwards, and the fuse button enters the notch of the sleeve, restricting the back and forth movement of the sleeve. At the same time, the inner cam surface of the safety machine is engaged with the blocking iron to limit the forward rotation of the blocking iron, so that although the trigger is pulled, the hammer in the waiting position (the upper protrusion of the blocking iron is stuck in the hammer waiting groove) cannot be released. The manual safety ensures that the sleeve and the hammer to be fired are securely locked to ensure that the pistol is carried safely. Moreover, the manual safety knob is designed to be of the right size, which is conducive to concealed carrying or tactical applications, and it is not easy to hook clothes when pulling out the pistol.

The grip safety is located at the mouth of the grip grip. Under the action of spring force, the grip safety is automatically in the safety position, and the grip safety lug is against the trigger linkage at this time, which restricts the trigger linkage from moving back and makes the trigger buckle not in place. Only when the grip safety is pressed by the tiger's mouth, so that the grip safety lug is disengaged from the trigger link, and the trigger link can move back freely at this time, the trigger can be pulled into place. Some people feel that there is no need for a grip safety on a pistol, but in fact, it is safer for self-defense pistols to have this kind of insurance. However, the total weight of this pistol has also reached 1.01 kg, which is almost the heaviest of several reserve guns, but his unpretentious appearance, reliable mechanical performance, low cost and solid feeling in the hands of the generals are very fond of it. In the end, even the most selective special combat team agreed to accept this Daystar pistol as their own standard weapon, and the Daystar pistol naturally started a journey of more than half a century of national defense equipment standards.

However, as a profiteer, Wu Chenxuan obviously would not bother Baal to let the Germans replace the Luger pistol he had just equipped, using this kind of unsightly American goods, but there are better preparations for them. Wu Chenxuan, who put down Lu Ge, took out a strange gun with a wooden butt full of holes from a box under the table, and his eight-toothed smile made him look very professional, and General Staff Duan, who was following behind, knew that this lord was about to have bad water again, and most of the unlucky ones were His Excellency the bearded Duke.

"Duke, I admit that Ruger is a very good pistol, but unfortunately the pistol we have just finalized has also begun mass production, maybe we can cooperate with small arms at other suitable times in the future, by the way, our engineers also chose 9X19mm Balabylum bullets, so we invented this "Shengxiao" submachine gun, the whole gun is 815mm long, weighs 4.17kg with a shotgun, uses a 20 rounds/32 rounds magazine to feed ammunition, and the rate of fire is 400 rounds / min, The muzzle velocity is 380 meters per second, the effective range is 150 meters, and the average failure frequency is one every 7400 rounds. Every time he said a statistic, the Duke of Württemberg's beard was cocked once, and he was quite happy, and Wu Chenxuan pretended not to see it and continued his profiteer's promotion.

"The Shengxiao submachine gun adopts the principle of free bolt, and the locking system is suitable for the 9mm caliber Parabellum pistol cartridge (9×19mm Parabellum) used by the Luger pistol, in order to effectively dissipate heat, the bolt is pulled to the rear position through the pull handle on the right side of the receiver, and is stuck in the card slot at the end of the pull handle slot. The realization of the insurance such a fixed square + type is not enough insurance when the accident is subjected to some kind of vibration, the pull handle will come out of the card slot, resulting in the forward movement of the bolt to fire the bullet and misfire, of course, the most striking feature of this gun is that the barrel is wrapped with a sleeve, and the sleeve is covered with heat dissipation holes, which is conducive to heat dissipation when shooting continuously. Of course, the disadvantages of the Shengxiao submachine gun that can only shoot fully automatically were naturally forgotten by the profiteer Wu.

The "sudden" firepower made the Duke of Württemberg, who was sweeping wildly in the courtyard with a flute, happy to have a face stirred, and looking at the gardeners' hard work to make the gardening shape full of holes, the distressed Wu Chenxuan decided to borrow another 10 million marks to compensate for the loss of his soul.

"Well, add this gun." The lavish Duke of Württemberg obviously has no Jewish ancestry, and he buys it without even asking about the minimum price, which is too arrogant, but it is very popular with profiteers like Wu Chenxuan. The kind of life that is worse than death when talking about business with Jewish businessmen made Wu Chenxuan feel that he had lost his life, so Viscount Bacchus, who came to talk about arms business on behalf of the British Empire, had to trouble Miss Du to receive it, and when the order was set, Wu Chenxuan went to drink a glass of whiskey that the British loved, of course, his wine glass must be a local wine such as Lanling, as for the foreign wine of Remy Martin noodles or something, whoever likes to drink it should pour it.

"Calculate, the patent for the production of the Swift Type 3A fighter-bomber, the entire patent for the Type 01 infantry gun, the patent for the improved grenade and the authorization for the production of the "Armor" armor steel, oh, and the authorization for the production of this Shengxiao submachine gun" The clerk behind the Duke of Württemberg was already calculating the total amount, apparently the total amount of the loan with almost zero interest of nearly 80 million marks made the clerk almost turn his back on it, I didn't expect that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had spent a lot of money to buy the so-called Mauser 88, a commission rifle that even the Germans themselves were not uncommon to equip themselves, would be able to turn around and make the empire change direction in a big way, and take out the mark to buy the weapons and technology of the Qing people, oh, the Chinese people, which is simply a wonderful irony.

However, this Qing Dynasty bureaucrat who used to have a big braid with a shiny oil is talking about business, and although the loan amount is large and the interest rate is low, the one-time repayment period of eight years is quite kind. Unfortunately, this clerk obviously overestimated the shameless lower limit of the profiteer Wu, his loan repayment method is a one-time repayment of principal, periodic interest payment, the repayment date is November 11, 1918, and the settlement currency is naturally the mark, but when the Germans lost the First World War, their hyperinflation made bundles of marks used as toys by children, and the Chinese would take two sacks of genuine German marks to repay the loan, well, just weigh the scales, who cares if they pay eight million more?

"This loan can only be used to buy German industrial products?"

"Of course, do you think we can go to France with the mark to buy a diesel engine?"

"That's right," the Duke of Württemberg looked at the agreement, and there was nothing missing, "a very good start, and I think that the friendship between the Republic of China and the Greater German Empire will be even more inunbreakable with the signing of this agreement." ”

"Of course, I wholeheartedly agree with your words." Wu Chenxuan raised his beer glass and touched the glass with the bearded duke, but he thought in his heart that it would be better if you, a fool, could borrow more, anyway, cheap Britain and France are the same thing, but in the spirit of making a fortune, Wu Chenxuan still dragged the Duke of Württemberg to visit the aircraft factory because he was excited about his contribution to the country, Duan Zhiquan was a little unbearable, and he wanted to say to the boss who knew German, "Don't just help a sheep with this wool!" Didn't look at this sheep, oh, is His Excellency the Duke bald? ”
