The operators of the RM-105 guns are veterans of the First World War, and they are the best of these veterans. Thanks to Germany's high educational standards, a soldier not only needs to learn relevant knowledge and be familiar with the operation before he can become an artilleryman, but also needs to fully master the various properties of the artillery he operates.

It's just that this kind of complete mastery is no longer so standard when testing artillery. The gunner was a sergeant, as the saying goes, the sick are half doctors, and the sergeant asked himself to know about artillery no less than the designer himself, so he looked at the problem as if he were an expert.

"Sergeant, what's wrong?" His adjutant watched as the sergeant also lay on the ground to check the position of the bearings after hearing Horch's arrangement, and was puzzled at once.

After carefully checking the bearing, he touched the thick fist of the guy and the shelf that was firmly nailed to the ground and was still a little hesitant, but he was not easy to refute, it seemed to be the same thing on the surface, and others would not believe it.

Because unlike conventional artillery, the RM-105 has to be very vibrating if the operator has to sit on the gun if it needs rapid fire. Even if there is a brake, the force of recoil is still very large, not to mention that this is a 105 mm caliber artillery, and if you want to have a rate of fire like a machine gun, now the technology simply can't do it.

"You'll all be farther away when the rapid-fire is later, huh... 50 meters, it's better to stand on the commander's side. The sergeant wasn't sure for sure, so he didn't say why.

The RM-105's ability to fire continuously also benefits from the fact that it does not need to be stuffed with shells and then reloaded with gunpowder packs, as is the case with conventional guns, and the regular cylinders of the plastic shell reduce the length of the shells, allowing the same cylindrical charge to enter the firing position with the shells if needed.

Seeing Horch come to the stands, Eric still greeted him warmly and invited him to sit beside him, for the importance of this weapon, Horch is not clear, but according to the next feeling, Horch feels that there is a play.

Eric is optimistic about the concept, not the weapon itself, for him the 105 mm caliber multi-purpose gun is too exaggerated, the current technology and design are not up to the mark, not to mention that this load-bearing structure is a hidden danger, so that the reliability of the weapon is greatly reduced.

"Mr. President mean to change the caliber to a smaller one?" Horch was curious, because how much smaller was the key, and he then asked, "How small?" ”

"It depends on the purpose of the design." After Eric said this, he called Rundstedt and Hippert over and asked, "Is the army short of anti-aircraft guns?" ”

"Of course." Rundstedt then asked in surprise: "Does the president want to make this artillery anti-aircraft?" ”

"No, it's not this artillery, I want Mr. Horch to improve it and equip both the Navy and the Army." Eric spoke his mind.

Ananta didn't know why Eric was so optimistic about this gun from Rheinland, but she needed to make some reminders, so she cautiously approached the president and whispered: "Mr. President, why don't you finish reading the products of other companies?" ”

"No need, although this gun is not to my liking at the moment, there is a need for improvement." He didn't hide it, and said directly: "Mr. Horch, improve it again, don't be in a hurry, just like my previous kind reminder, find the right position." For me, the idea of this gun is good, but it is a bit rushed. ”

"When the army travels to fight, can a weapon come in handy, how efficient is not only the power of this weapon, but also includes logistics, -105 experimental artillery has such a possibility, read your information and demonstration, its role is a long-range strike, the second is flat fire, the third is what you didn't expect, I will add to you." Eric flipped through the file and wrote: anti-aircraft guns.

Although Horch is not the main designer of this weapon, he is also an expert, weapon design is not only a technical job, but also an artistic work, art must be inspired to have new works, Eric's depiction is equivalent to pushing the door of a room filled with countless marks for Horch.

He was thrilled, Eric's words undoubtedly signed the order for the Army and Navy, although he did not say how much he would buy, but Horch dared to assure him that it was a long-term deal.

"The price, it must be cheap, don't give me the idea of doing profiteering business, as long as you give a sincere price, I dare to guarantee that this order will bring you not only wealth, but also inexhaustible honor. RWE is no longer a company, but a code name, a code name for a top weapons company, you know what I mean? ”

The cost of 110,000 marks, of course, is for the RM-105 experimental model, and this price itself has room for counter-offering, plus Eric's pie and the requested improvements, the price of the gun will be lower.

"The price of artillery shells is the same, it must be cheap, the army and the air force have a lot of purchases, and I can meet the Rheinland company will be at the top because of this weapon." Eric stood up and shook hands with Horch, who was still in a daze, and said, "Let me remind you quietly, Eric Arsenal has a small invention that will help your shells." ”

Horch only felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and suddenly heard the president's second touch and asked without hesitation: "What?" ”

"Confidential, when you determine the improved type, then go to them to introduce it, this technology has not been made public at present, if your improvement can satisfy me, this technology will be transferred to you." Eric left the scene after speaking, in his opinion, the next artillery is far from the RM-105, there is nothing outstanding in the data, it is nothing more than the change of caliber plus the advantage of the countersunk projectile, it seems that there is progress, the -105 wins in the concept, and the current experimental version is still very bad.

Anthony Falk was a little idle because the air show hadn't started yet, so he hurriedly intercepted Eric halfway after hearing the news of his departure.

"Mr. President..." Before Falk could finish his sentence, he heard Eric say, "Stop, I'm not welcome to you." ”

"Haha, no, I wanted you to take a look at our plane." Fokker was actually very embarrassed, because it was not only him who came, but also Junkers and Pap, Otto Flitz and others, these are several giants of the German aviation industry, unlike the designers and companies such as Mercedesschmidt, which are the real giants, with sufficient capital and countless design experience talent reserves that have not only won them money and fame in Germany, but also spread abroad.

The success of the F-D25 has left other countries looking forward to catching up in a short period of time, due to two fatal obstacles: materials and engines.

Eric is not afraid of them stealing from the arts, after all, he doesn't look down on the F-D25 at all.

"Isn't it time? Besides, what's the use of me going to see? You still have to place an order from someone from the Air Force? Eric said this a little weakly, because he had just made a return for the army and navy, although Rundstedt would definitely buy some back in the end, but the navy could not say.

"Remember the kind of plane we talked about a few years ago?" Fauck asked, pretending to be mysterious.

"What plane?" Eric then suddenly asked, "You're talking about jets?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not going to work, it's too unrealistic." Fokker hurriedly waved his hand in denial, and then said, "It's a monoplane with metal skin." ”

"Isn't there?" Eric was referring to the F-200C, an aircraft designed and built by Fokker and Juncker.

"It's a fighter, not a transport plane." Fokker still tried his best to defend it, but Eric lost interest, according to his assumptions, the current design concept is still in the era of single-wing, double-wing, three-wing, and even three-and-a-half-wing alternately, and it is difficult to have a basis for long-term improvement of the original model.

Just looking at so many people, it was not good to embarrass Falk so he reluctantly followed him to the airport.

The airport has a runway of 3,000 meters and a width of 80 meters, and 6 such runways were built, but with the outbreak of war, the original plan to expand to 10 was suspended, until the construction began, and the Eric Group once again took the lead in building it out of its own pocket.

As for whether it is necessary to build so many runways, Eric did not explain at all, as for the standard of 3,000 meters long and 80 meters wide, he did not answer, he is the boss and the president, who dares to find it uncomfortable? Isn't it always what these people love to do?
