On the road leading from the north gate of the Oriental Port to the Yancun Industrial Zone, a long convoy of vehicles is moving, all of which are made up of Rolls-Royce, and these Rolls-Royce III rickshaws have improved their service life by leaps and bounds after the addition of clutches and the replacement of key metal components. The addition of www.biquge.info cushion springs and canvas leather seats makes the driver very different from the original Rolls-Royce models, and the detachable roof bracket and the appearance of the canvas roof and front windshield also protect the driver from the wind and sun.

In view of the "accident" of Sun Wenbin and Liu Liting falling out of the position without a door last time, the new Rolls-Royce III has added doors and woven seat belts to prevent the driver from being thrown out of the car due to accidents and other reasons during driving. In addition, since the Oriental Port system cannot provide tempered glass, in the event of a collision, the broken glass will inevitably turn into countless glass fragments, so a barbed wire fence is added to the back of the glass, although it will block the view, but it is better than being pierced by countless glass fragments. And with the increase in the speed of the Rolls-Royce III, this kind of accident has appeared more than once in the Oriental Port, after the installation of this kind of barbed wire, except for a few small glass fragments that may not be powerful to cut the driver, a large piece of glass fragments are completely blocked by the barbed wire, so as not to cause serious injuries and death.

However, many drivers are still quite dissatisfied with the barbed wire blocking their view, and some drivers will even directly remove the barbed wire, and even directly remove the glass. In response to this situation, the vehicle production and assembly department made a small improvement, imitating the design of the Jeep of World War II, changing the front windshield to a structure that can be put down, and in the event of a collision, the front windshield part will be folded forward, so that the windshield and frame will be directly slapped on the felt placed in the front, so that it will not be directly broken, but also reduce wear.

Due to the replacement of metal gears and metal frames, the original heavy wooden frame and other parts have been directly reduced by nearly 100 kilograms, and the current Rolls-Royce III is basically carried away by three people, which means that if you encounter damage to the transmission parts and cannot drive, even if you can carry it home. The car now uses a steel propeller shaft, which has more than ten times longer life than the wooden propeller shaft previously used.

There were also a number of improvements to the wheels, the original wheel was a plain wooden disc with a few holes in it for fixation, and the old Rolls-Royce had no bearings, and used wood that secreted grease for direct lubrication. At this stage, the oil wood that can be found is mainly pine, and there are few pine trees in the south, which must be imported from the Wu Dynasty when needed, which is time-consuming and laborious and increases the cost. With the better and better products of Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant and the commissioning of Dongfang Hardware Factory, the trial production of bearings has begun, and the Rolls-Royce III uses these hardware factory trial production bearings. Although these bearings are certainly not comparable to those high-precision products of the old world, the lubrication effect is always far greater than that of oilwood.

As a result of these improvements, the Rolls-Royce Rickshaw has been twenty times more user-friendly and performant than the original model, and its service life and mileage have far exceeded that of the original version. According to the test of the Quality Supervision Committee, it is estimated that the trouble-free operating mileage of the Rolls-Royce III can basically reach about 1,500 kilometers, and if the parts that are easy to wear are replaced in use, the service life can be greatly increased. Therefore, the convoy sent to Beijing to deliver gifts this time did not use the ox and horse traction double ** vehicles commonly used by ordinary caravans, but directly used the latest Rolls-Royce III multi-purpose vehicles for transportation. This Rolls-Royce team consists of a total of fifteen Rolls-Royces, and even these Rolls-Royces are not the same.

At the forefront is the off-road Rolls-Royce, this kind of car body is lightweight, the components used are precise, the power conversion ability is relatively strong, can be driven in more complex road conditions, and there is a certain climbing ability. The off-road body is also completely different from the standard body, this kind of car is wider, the front seat is two people, while the back seat can only seat one person, and the rear seat is located higher, located at the shoulder height of the driver in the front seat, this height can see the situation more clearly. The off-road Rolls-Royce was equipped with a Type 1629 light machine gun on the back seat, which was not actually installed in the Senate army, but was only experimentally distributed to the special investigation team as a trial weapon for testing -- an absolute "special supply."

If there were any military enthusiasts who came to cross at this time, then he would definitely be able to recognize the Type 1629 light machine gun at a glance, and the appearance of this light machine gun is almost exactly the same as the legendary Taisho 11 type light machine gun - that is, the crooked handle. Because the 1628-29 rifles that the Senate army is now equipped with in large numbers are all 12 mm rifle cartridges, and the shortcomings of this rifle cartridge have been criticized by the Military Equipment Department of the Senate for a long time, which makes the Planning Committee even more sad -- the maximum range of the bullet that can be compared with the anti-aircraft machine gun bullet of the old time and space is only 600 meters, which is simply incomparable with the more than 2,000 meters that the anti-aircraft machine gun bullet can reach, but the resources consumed by the two are the same. In particular, the Ministry of Armament is beginning in an orderly manner to order large quantities of 12-mm all-metal fixed ammunition from arsenals. According to the requirements, each soldier needs to carry 60 rounds of 12 mm bullets in battle, and the weight of the bullets carried directly reaches 7.2 kilograms, not counting the food, drinking water, and clothing to be carried. The soldiers' initial fondness for 12 mm bullets had begun to turn into a dislike, and in all units soldiers had begun to refuse to carry too many bullets into battle - the experience of many battles led most soldiers to come to an embarrassing conclusion: soldiers often consume less than 30 rounds of ammunition in battle, so the difference between carrying 7.2 kg of ammunition and 3.6 kg is obvious, and it will not be used up anyway.

Together, these circumstances began to force the Senate's weapons development department to develop a new type of 1629 gun family. The Military Equipment Department of the Senate proposed a new type of weapon, with a caliber of seven millimeters, requiring that the bullet be able to cause lethality within two kilometers, and that the effective firing range should be guaranteed to be about 800 meters to 1,000 meters. This gun family includes three standard weapons, rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns, the length of the rifle should be controlled within 1.2 meters, plus the bayonet should not exceed 1.5 meters, and the weight should not exceed 4 kilograms; The length of the machine gun should be controlled within one meter and one, and the weight should not exceed ten kilograms.

As for the submachine gun, it is not required to use uniform ammunition with rifle light machine guns, it is enough to use nine-millimeter Pelabam rounds, the weight is required to be controlled within four kilograms, the length is not more than 0.8 meters, the rate of fire is not high, but reliability is required.

The weapons development department has conducted a study on the 1629 gun clan that needs to be developed -- mainly to find weapons that can be imitated, and after careful searching, combined with the level that the Senate's industrial system can now reach, in the end it can only be sadly found that such weapons cannot be made by the Senate's industrial system at this stage, mainly because the strength of the materials required for weapon manufacturing cannot be reached. The rifle can still be used, but the machine gun can't be helped, especially the spring material that needs to be used for the bolt is far from enough, and it is okay to concentrate on manufacturing one or two, but it is basically impossible to put it into the assembly line in batches. As for the submachine gun, it is even more useless, there are too many places that need springs in the submachine gun, and the steel houses of the Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant are okay, and the springs needed to make submachine guns and machine guns are far from meeting the requirements.

The report was handed over to the Executive Committee, and the Executive Committee was also one and two big, and the result was not at all beyond their imagination. The 1629 gun family cannot be developed now, so it can only tap the ability of the 1628 rifle and continue to use the 1628 machine gun. However, the Executive Committee also made a decision, in order to ensure the escort of the gifts to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the weapons carried by the two four-man assault groups, a three-person sniper group, and a machine gun team escorting the convoy must be guaranteed - because this escort must go deep into the interior of the Wu Dynasty, then it cannot be equipped with weapons brought by the old world, whether it is SKS semi-automatic rifles, M240 machine guns, or M24 sniper rifles, they must not be taken away, and once there is a battle in the interior of the Wu Dynasty, Losing equipment is extremely unavoidable, and once it is lost, one less counts as one. In addition, bullets are also a very troublesome thing, although the caliber of these weapons is 7.62 mm, but it is divided into Warsaw Pact bullets and NATO bullets, and the length and power are different. Moreover, the reloading of these bullets is a very cumbersome thing, and it is impossible to carry out it without returning to Dongfang Port, so it is necessary to move forward with a huge number of bullets, and when you come back, you have to carry a large number of bullet casings, which is a very headache.

Therefore, the weapons used by the convoy this time can only be made in the plane, and the bullets must also be reloaded with the tools that can be reloaded in the plane. The commander-in-chief of the special reconnaissance team, Beiwei, personally selected the weapons, but he could only choose a few weapons, the first was naturally the 1628 smoothbore gun, which used shotguns to ensure close-range killing; In addition, the only option is to choose the carbine, which uses a six-round nest, and after modification, it can use an eight-round nest, but the firepower is still far from enough. The long-range firepower is a hexagonal rifle equipped with a scope produced by the Dongfanggang Instrument Factory, and the accuracy of the hexagonal rifle can ensure shooting within 800 meters, which is basically enough at this stage. But all the calculations, the lack of machine guns is a troublesome thing after all.

To go to Beijing, along the way through Guangxi, Guangdong, Huguang, Henan, to reach Beijing, North Zhili, all the way thousands of kilometers are all to rely on car or walking. Along the way, it is conceivable that in addition to the bandits and pirates, there are more military households disguised as bandits and looting, and if there are not enough teeth, the materials transported by this convoy will definitely suffer heavy losses, which is absolutely unacceptable. Although he discussed this issue with Beihai, Liu Chuanzhi promised to send soldiers to protect the north all the way, but these are outsiders, but I can't believe it, who knows if they will secretly make stumbling blocks or even directly kill people and goods? Officials and soldiers certainly don't do this kind of thing once or twice, and they definitely don't feel guilty, so they can only rely on themselves. In this case, the only solution was to build their own light machine guns that could be used by the machine gun team of the special reconnaissance team.

As I said before, although it is impossible to install light machine guns in large quantities, it is no problem to manufacture one or two for the special investigation team with the power of Dongfang Port, and now the Rolls-Royce off-road vehicle is installed with a 1629 light machine gun. The shape of this machine gun looks very similar to the crooked handle, because the Japanese in the early stage of World War II weapons and equipment technology level is not high, so the difficulty of imitation is relatively low, the Senate from the beginning of the most practical choice to climb the technology tree is to directly copy the Japanese weapons. Of course, imitation is not copying, the design of the Japanese crooked handle machine gun is actually a lot of slots, first of all, the crooked handle uses the bucket operation, there is a huge bucket on the left side of the machine gun, the deputy shooter puts the bridge clip of the rifle bullet into the bucket when shooting, and there is a mechanical device from the bottom of the bucket to draw the bullets directly into the chamber one by one when firing. This kind of mechanical way looks very beautiful, but the actual operation is very cumbersome, frequent accidents occur in the bullet jam, our country has captured a large number of such weapons in the War of Resistance against Japan, but it is very few that have been reused in battle, that is, because the operation is too cumbersome, novices can not quickly master the use of methods.

At present, the operation of the 1629 light machine gun is significantly less cumbersome than that of the historical prototype, and the most important thing is that it no longer uses the much-criticized bucket feed, but directly uses the cartridge chain. The seven-millimeter metal fixed ammunition is fixed on a cloth bullet chain, which is easy to repair the damage of the cloth bullet chain, and it is easier to load bullets inside, so this way of feeding ammunition is directly used, but in order to make up for the bad taste of some veterans, the 1629 machine gun also has a barrel with the gun, which can be installed with the machine gun through the kit, and directly has a rifle bridge clamp of five rounds and five rounds. Because the machine gun has a fast rate of fire, the barrel heats up very quickly, and when the test shot was carried out, it once reached the situation where 30 rounds directly turned the barrel red, so this light machine gun used three methods to deal with this situation, the first is to thicken the barrel, a thicker barrel can not only withstand higher temperatures, but also make the barrel itself stronger; The second is to increase the heat sink, the use of heat sink is one of the very effective means to reduce the temperature, and the cooling effect is quite obvious on the test site; As for the third method, the heat sink can be removed through the kit and replaced with a water cooling tube, which can be cooled more quickly by water cooling when there is enough fresh water.
