Chapter 57: Reorganization Before Departure (1)
Holding the two "little meat balls" skillfully with both hands, the second master sat quietly on the recliner, allowing the two small meat balls that had just been full moon to stretch their arms and kick their legs in his arms.
The second master is a father in two lifetimes, and he can't be more familiar with taking care of the little guy. It's just that the second master in this life may not be able to be a good father anymore, the second master sighed and thought.
In this life, he has too many "important" things waiting for him to complete. He can't take care of his warm little family, and he can't take care of being a qualified father! ~~~ Hug more while you have time now! Doesn't modern parenting books say that a father's mind is conducive to the growth of young children?
"Second master! All the goods in Tianjin Port have been put into storage. Mr. Chen and Mr. Bellman are waiting for you in the living room! ”
Xiao Dezi looked at the second master on the recliner, dressed leisurely in soft satin home clothes, and holding two fleshy little dolls in his arms. He still looks like a murderer who doesn't blink an eye? At this time, the second master is like a kind rich man, leisurely, kind and kind.
(The servants in the family are privately called "the second master who laughs", because the second master kills people with laughter.) )
Alas! Don't be idle for a moment! The second master handed over the two little ones to Vanilla and Xianglian, and came to the living room without even changing their clothes.
"Mr. Eric! The mortars and shells you commanded were made. It's all carefully built according to the drawings you designed. I just didn't try the gun! ”
Bellman saw his employer Eric walk into the house, and he hurriedly stood up to report the task assigned by the second master when he left Shanghai.
"Oh! That's good news! Brother Shouting, have you made the school uniforms and flags? ~~~ Mr. Bellman, please be seated, please be seated! You are not my subordinate, so you don't have to stand up and answer! ”
Seeing Bellman's nondescript standing upright, the second master was a little funny and a little helpless. While pouring tea for the two, he was polite.
He became more and more prestigious in front of his subordinates, and his subordinates in the big camp regarded themselves as commanders, and they had to make "reports" when they spoke and spoke, and the people at home regarded themselves as murderers, and they tried their best to avoid themselves.
I'm afraid this is a kind of helplessness of a lonely person in a high position!
And this kind of equal interaction between friends does make the second master sometimes very rare. But he also knows that as his career grows bigger and bigger, his prestige will also increase, and this opportunity to interact on an equal footing will probably be rare!
"Zhang Dudu! You've designed the school uniform, hey! It's this! ~~~”
Chen Shouting gave a thumbs up. Nonsense! The second master plagiarized the most handsome German military uniform in the world in his previous life, although it was worn by the notorious SS, but you have to admit that it has an excellent design.
"Brother Shouting! Don't lift me up, Governor of everything? Isn't he just an official who was bought with money! Or call the brother to come to the affection! This is our common cause, but the division of labor is different, and no one can leave it. ”
"Alas~~~ I can't say that! Don't look at me Chen Liuzi is uneducated, but I also know that there is still a need for superiority and inferiority. ”
"Where~ You're welcome at home! Awkward! ”
"Okay! Listen to your brother! ”
"What are you two talking about? I don't understand a word! ”
Bellman, a technical nerd, didn't understand human feelings and asked the second master what they were talking about.
"Mr. Bellman! I'm sorry! Forget you don't know Chinese. ”
"It doesn't matter! I really like the interpersonal relationship between you Chinese family and friends. Really like it! I love listening to the conversations between you. ”
Okay! The second master misunderstood Bellman. It seems that this foreigner is very adaptable to life in China.
For foreigners who come to China without any bad intentions, they are full of all kinds of curiosity about ancient China. The second master distinguished this kind of foreigner very clearly in his previous life, and he understood them very well.
"Bellman! You just said that the mortar was made? ”
"Yes! Mr! But this is not important, the important thing is that the steel helmet material you said is made by our company, and the ballistic performance is very good! ”
The second master has a black line on his face! Mortars are not as important as steel helmet materials? However, a new material is much more attractive to tech nerds than a finished weapon.
"Secrecy measures are done, right? Mr. Bellman! ”
"Don't worry, sir! All the experimental materials were destroyed, and even the slag was thrown into the Huangpu River. All the people involved were transferred to Beijing this time, including their families. ”
"That's good! Walk! Let's go and test the guns. ”
"Brother Shouting! Do you want to see shelling training? ”
The second master asked Chen Shouting in Chinese, it is rare to watch the experimental artillery shelling on the spot.
"Walking then? Let's open our eyes today! But ~~~ I said, Governor Zhang, can you hit the distance with the small iron bucket you designed? How can I look so unreliable! ”
Chen Shouting had seen mortars on the ship coming to Tianjin, and he didn't know that they were artillery at the time, which was very beyond his knowledge of artillery. Speaking of him, even the countries of the world were also in the First World War, due to the development of trench warfare, the advantages of mortar fire began to be valued by all countries, and the armies of various countries began to have limited equipment and were used in wars.
The world's first real mortar was created in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War and was invented by Russian artillery captain Leonid Nikolayevich Gobiato.
But the mortar shells at this time were very primitive and not as perverted as the lethality of later generations.
The second master's focus on plagiarism is mortar shells. The body of the mortar is without technical content, at least there is no insurmountable technical barrier, any country will make it, the key is the mortar shell.
Why did the second master come up with mortars for production first? That's because he discovered that the farthest effective firing distance of heavy machine guns in this era was 5,000 meters, although 5,000 meters is uncontrollable diffuse fire for the human eye, but it is impossible for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse.
The accurate and effective firing distance of Hitler's chainsaw was 1200-1500 meters, so in order to make up for the firepower gap of his troops, the second master came up with a small infantry support mortar with a shooting distance of more than 5000 meters.
The second master's plagiarism is what he personally operated in his previous life, the most famous light mortar of the Chinese People's Liberation Army - PP93 60 mm long-range mortar, its caliber is 60.75 mm; the whole gun weighs 22.4 kg, one person can carry it and run; the supporting personnel anti-personnel grenade is a blasting grenade inlaid with tens of thousands of steel balls inside, each weighing 2.18 kg; the effective killing radius is 17.8 meters; the maximum firing range is 5564 meters; and the maximum rate of fire is 20 rounds / min.
See how terrifying it is! The killing radius is 17.8 meters, which means that when the ground explodes, tens of thousands of steel balls indiscriminately crit all personnel and equipment in a radius of 35 meters in diameter.
It has the advantages of simple structure, light weight, large firepower, long range and good mobility. Its various combat skill indicators have surpassed the similar level in the world in the previous life. It was already a world leader at the time.
The only thing that made the second master dissatisfied was that the steel balls used for blasting and killing in the Republic of China needed to be imported at this time, and there was no manufacturer that could produce steel balls in the Republic of China.
The second master complained weakly~~~ It's really a sun dog! However, fortunately, steel balls of different diameters can be bought from major foreign companies, because they are not prohibited from export.
Therefore, the second master ordered more than 1,000 tons of steel balls of various sizes through scattered orders, and the compradors of various foreign banks were inexplicable, and they didn't understand what the second master was using ordering so many small sizes of steel balls.
How did they know that this steel ball was the most terrifying killing weapon, and the personnel anti-personnel grenades in this era mainly relied on the fragments of the shell or the shock wave generated when the shell exploded.
So, some of the technologies are just a layer of window paper, it's up to you to think of it.
When he came to the shooting range, the second master distributed the more than 10 goats and injured horses that Zhang San bought and the injured horses that could no longer be used in a circle with a diameter of 35 meters, and erected a flag in the center of the circle as a reference for aiming and ranging.
After everyone was settled, an artillery position was set up at a distance of 5,000 meters. This test gun was operated by the second master himself.
Because he is too familiar with this type of mortar, in his previous life, this magic cannon was used as infantry support firepower, and it was installed in the infantry company, with six guns per company.
In addition, the reason why the second master personally operated this time was also to save the meaning of on-site teaching.
Zhang Muzhi and his comrades-in-arms heard that they were going to test the gun, so they all stopped training and went to the second master to observe.
The second master took a look, yes! A practical course on the field of mortars was held directly.
When a group of instructors followed the second master to test the results of the shelling, they were all stunned by the tragic scene in front of them. Chen Shouting and Bellman threw up on the spot.
I saw that none of the animals in the experimental field were intact, and the outermost ones were all pierced into a sieve by the exploding steel balls, and the inner enclosure was even worse, you couldn't tell what kind of animals it was, and there were pools of meat on the ground.
"Alas! The lamb meal in the evening is out of play. ”
The second master originally planned to use waste and give mutton to everyone. Seeing the results of this shelling, it's no fun!
"Report to the Overseers! I have something to say! ”
Liu Dingchen immediately made a report and asked to speak. Because he could understand that the shells that exploded at the scene were not ordinary, he himself studied the artillery department.
"Say!"
"Excuse me, sir! Which country produced shells? ”
"Huh! ~~~ I've met an insider! You can rest assured! This kind of shell will not fall on our heads in a short time. This was designed by me and experimentally produced by Mr. Bellman. It is our own production of shells, which there is no second in the world that has such shells. ”
Seeing that Bellman's tears of vomiting were flowing out, the second master said casually jokingly:
"This special personnel anti-personnel grenade is called 'Bellman's Tears'!"
What he didn't expect was that with the southern and northern wars of the "New Army", the name of "Bellman's Tears" resounded throughout the world.
Countries have copied it. However, due to the second master's strict secrecy of the steel ball adhesion material in the shell. After the explosion of the imitation shells of various countries, the steel balls did not split individually, but were like fragments of bullet shells, broken in pieces, and their killing effect was 108,000 miles different from "Bellman's tears".
"The small cannon will be mounted in the company, telling the soldiers that the shell will be classified as a classified firearm, just like a machine gun. On the battlefield, in the case of extreme urgency, the first thing must be destroyed, and they must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy! ”
"Yes! Warlord! Resolutely not to let the enemy capture it! ”
The soldiers at the scene replied in unison, and they couldn't help but pay attention to it! Captured by the enemy? And then fall on the heads of their own troops? Looking at the meat paste at the scene, everyone collectively had a cold war.
"This shell is easy to destroy, and it can also be used as a grenade when it is critical. Come with me, I'll demonstrate. ”
As he spoke, the second master picked up a mortar shell and led everyone down the bomb shelter tunnel of the test site. In front of everyone, the balancing tail of the mortar shell was unscrewed, and the time-delay explosive device was pressed on the inside of the primer nozzle. Then tell you:
"Remember! Press here and the explosion can be delayed by 10 seconds, telling the fighters to keep this in mind! ”
Saying this, he canceled the anti-collision safety of the warhead, knocked the mortar shell into the stone, and immediately threw it out of the trench.
Immediately, the sound of nearby explosions and the whistling of steel balls flying overhead resounded in everyone's ears.
