Chapter Ninety-Nine: Squad Platoon Firepower (Ask for Collection)

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, now we are partners. Pen ~ Fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info I would like to know very much, how do you compete with Mauser and Rheinmetall when it comes to small arms? You know, the Mauser 1898 rifle of the Mauser company, which is the standard rifle of the German Army. "Gustav? Krupp looked curious.

You know, the share of Mauser and Rheinmetall in the German Army's light weapons is very large. All along, I don't know how many companies want to challenge them. However, in the end, none of them succeeded. Even Krupp cannot match them in terms of light weapons.

"Of course, Mr. Krupp. As far as it is true to my partners, I have never kept it a secret. Qin Tian said with a smile. Of course he knows, Gustav? Krupp was skeptical that Deutsche Arms would be able to steal the Army's share of weapons and equipment from Mauser and Rheinmetall. After all, their opponents are too strong in this field.

Qin Tian quit his job and took out a stack of design drawings from the briefcase he carried with him. These drawings are all weapons and equipment designed by Qin Tian, and the main parameters are marked on them.

Gustav? Krupp took a look at it, and then he was deeply immersed in these weapons.

"I think that the firepower of our current army platoon is still too weak. Although the army was armed with the MG08 heavy machine gun, it weighed 69 kilograms, and it took several people to carry it, and it was simply not possible to accompany the infantry on the front line. Therefore, our army needs lighter and at the same time stronger squad firepower. This weapon in your hand, I call it a light machine gun, also known as a squad machine gun, which means a machine gun that can be equipped with an infantry squad. Qin Tian explained.

The squad machine gun designed by Qin Tian is a plagiarized Czech machine gun to be exact. The performance of the Czech machine gun, of course, was not the best among many light machine guns. However, the simple structure and good reliability make such a machine gun in another time and space, but large-scale equipment of the Chinese army, and in the battlefield of the War of Resistance against Japan, played a great role. With the existing technology in Germany, it was not very difficult to produce a Czech machine gun.

"Is each infantry squad armed with a machine gun? In this case, the army's firepower will be too perverted! "Gustav? Krupp couldn't help but gasp.

"Each infantry squad is equipped with a light machine gun, which, in my opinion, is very necessary. Whether it's attacking or defending, the firepower is strong, and it can always kill the most enemies at the least cost. Qin Tian said.

He clearly remembered that in another time and space, World War I was fought in trench warfare. And the power of machine guns in such a war is undoubtedly very terrifying. Especially for the defending side, the machine gun is a weapon to slaughter the enemy!

Gustav turned the page and looked to the second. On the second page, the blueprint is still a machine gun. It's just that the appearance is larger and more murderous.

"This machine gun, I became a general-purpose machine gun. Compared to the MG08 machine gun we are equipped with, it is lighter, and with the gun carriage, it is only less than a third. However, the firepower is much more powerful than that of the MG08 heavy machine gun. Although for the infantry, it is still relatively heavy. However, a machine gun crew is also fully carriable. In this way, when the infantry attacked, it could exert great firepower. Qin Tian continued.

The general-purpose machine gun on the design drawings is the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun that he plagiarized later. Although the performance is slightly worse than that of MG42. But relatively speaking, the conditions for development are also a little simpler.

Gustav? Krupp nodded, if Deutsche Arms can develop this general-purpose machine gun, not to mention anything else, completely replace all MG08 heavy machine guns, it will be no problem. This weapon alone means a huge order!

If the squad machine gun can also be adopted by the army, and each infantry squad is equipped with one, then the order will be even greater.

Despite Gustav? Krupp hasn't looked at the design behind yet. But he had already concluded that with Qin Tian's two machine guns, the German Arms Company would not have to worry about losing money. If you want to make money, that's for sure.

In the back, there are two rifles, a semi-automatic rifle and a sniper rifle. Although the performance of the Mauser 1898 rifle is very good, the rate of fire is too slow, and in future wars, the density of firepower will be more important. If the infantry can be equipped with semi-automatic rifles, it will make the firepower of the troops more powerful. Even, directly in the war to achieve an overwhelming advantage. The importance of sniper rifles is naturally self-evident. On the battlefield, a sniper armed with a sniper rifle is simply synonymous with death. Enemy junior officers, machine gunners, etc., will be their targets. The importance that snipers play on the battlefield will be even more perverted.

Next, there is the design of grenadiers and mortars. Although mortars are not a new term, and since they began to appear after the Russo-Japanese War, countries have begun to pay attention to them, but the development is still very slow. Mortars are undoubtedly an extremely important infantry support weapon, and they will pose a deadly threat to enemy troops who are long in the trenches. It's just that the current development is still very slow. Qin Tian designed three mortars, namely a 60mm light mortar, an 81mm medium mortar, and a 120mm heavy mortar. Of course, these mortars are also plagiarized designs of later generations.

The grenadier is a smaller type of mortar, and the design principle is very familiar with the mortar. It's just that it's lighter and of course less powerful. A single soldier is capable of carrying, and at the same time being able to carry multiple grenades. Qin Tian believed that it could be considered to equip each infantry squad with a grenadier canister, which would make the firepower of the German infantry squad more powerful.

Think about it, every infantry squad is armed with light machine guns, grenadiers, sniper rifles and semi-automatic rifles. How powerful the infantry firepower of the German Army will be! In a future war, no matter which country's army is, I am afraid that it will be suppressed by the German army in terms of firepower. If the German Army wants to win, it will naturally be much easier for it to be relatively speaking.

Gustav? After reading these designs, Krupp looked at Qin Tian with a hint of admiration in his eyes. In his opinion, Qin Tian is clearly a genius! At the same time, there is more confidence in Deutsche Arms.
