Chapter 1481: Body armor
"Führer Ciric, are you alright?" Returning to the palace temporarily prepared in Kiev, Reinhardt had a chance to ask quickly.
Ciric waved his hand: "It's okay, if it's a rifle bullet, maybe my rib will be broken, but fortunately it's just a pistol bullet." ”
As he spoke, Ciric had already begun to take off his clothes, and he was wearing a special piece of equipment inside.
Nylon bulletproof vest.
In fact, in ancient times, the armor worn by the soldiers who charged the battle was considered body armor, and the body armor in the modern sense can be traced back to the First World War.
In this way, until after the First World War, the United States studied quite a lot of models of soft body armor because of the needs of the domestic police market, and as early as 1921, soft bulletproof vests were launched.
However, they could not find suitable materials, and initially used body armor made of heavy silk with poor protection, which could only resist grenade fragments with low muzzle velocity, and had no protection against pistol bullets, and later some people tried to use nylon fibers that were being developed in the laboratory, and in 1923 they invented a soft bulletproof vest made of silk and nylon mixed fabric.
This success was achieved when on September 13, 1923, at the shooting range of the Maryland State Police Headquarters in the United States, Deputy Sergeant Charles Smith, put on a bulletproof vest invented by the New York Protective Clothing Company, and ordered his assistant to fire several shots in the chest from a distance of 3 meters with a revolver with a 9mm Browning pistol short round.
As a result, he was intact. Experiments with body armor were a complete success and began to make their way into federal law enforcement agencies and local police departments in the United States.
However, although this is a "soft" bulletproof vest, it is still lined with special metal bulletproof plates weighing up to 5 kilograms.
At the same time, this can only be used in the police force, where silk can quickly deteriorate and lose its protective effect.
It was not until 1939 that DuPont's nylon 66 fiber was officially produced in the factory, and the soft bulletproof vest had a great development, and in 1943, the U.S. military developed more than 23 kinds of body armor using nylon fiber, and in June 1945, the U.S. military successfully developed a bulletproof vest with a combination of aluminum alloy and high-strength nylon, and the model was M12 infantry body armor. It can almost be seen as a typical example of modern body armor.
And the official use of body armor in the army has already reached the Korean War after the war.
Now, Germany has made great progress in various scientific research fields, and in German factories, advanced nylon fibers have also begun to be produced, this technology is imported from DuPont, and Germany has made great improvements.
Nylon is a high-performance thing, and in many places it can even replace steel in the manufacture of gears and so on. For women, nylon stockings are a favorite.
Germany has developed an advanced bulletproof vest, similar to the M12 in the United States, it is also used as an aluminum alloy as a substrate in the back, and high-strength nylon is used outside, so that the weight of the entire bulletproof vest is less than 3 kg, and it is not bloated when worn on the body, and it is almost not visible after wearing a uniform outside.
The impact of the bullet caused Ciric to fall backwards, but Ciric was not injured, only a little red and swollen on his skin.
By this time, Hannah had already come over and rubbed the red and swollen area of Ciric, and at the same time, silently changed him into a new dress, which already had a bullet hole in the outside.
"Have you found out where the murderer came from?" Ciric asked.
As the head of the Third Reich, Ciric had long been mentally prepared to wear this newly developed body armor whenever he went out, after all, assassinations were generally carried out with a pistol at close range.
If a sniper gets a headshot from a distance, there's nothing you can do about it, except to use a Kevlar helmet from a later generation, which unfortunately can't be made now.
Ciric believed in Reinhardt's ability to get things done, and although the murderer committed suicide by poisoning himself after completing the assassination, he was still able to find many clues.
"He pretended to be a British journalist, all the papers were complete, however, the real journalist had died outside Kiev, he was impersonating, and we speculated that he should have been sent by Churchill's gang." Reinhardt said.
Although it was Reinhardt's speculation, the speculation of the top spy leaders of the empire was absolutely true, they smashed the infiltration of the Soviets many times, but they did not expect to fall into the way of the British.
"What about the camera?" Ciric asked.
Reinhardt's examination was rigorous, and it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
"We are at the checkpoint, and all the things that the journalists have brought have been confiscated, and this camera, it is not the assassin's, but he took it from Mr. George Orwell."
Engaged in assassination, the British were actually very good at it, secretly replaced George Orwell's camera, and then came to the checkpoint before George Orwell's arrival, deliberately shouted to attract attention, and finally used George Orwell's sympathy to get the camera.
This plan was so seamless that even Reinhardt sighed.
"We have taken control of Mr. George Orwell, and we ask you to decide for yourself about his execution." Reinhardt said, "I'm responsible, please, punish me." ”
Although everything was unintentional, after all, something has happened, and someone must be responsible!
While wearing Hannah's clothes, Ciric waited for Hannah to button them, and said, "This is an accident, Reinhardt, and the punishment for you is to clean the toilet for three months." Mr. George Orwell is innocent, let him go, we must also learn a lesson from this incident and better fulfill the mission entrusted to us by history in the future. ”
At some point, Führer Cirek was ruthless, such as erasing Petersburg, such as moving the Poles away, he didn't care how many casualties would be caused, and sometimes, he was very good at talking, as now.
Ciric's punishment is not heavy, for a person who can follow the empire at any time, is there still a need for punishment? Suffice it to be self-reproached in his own heart.
And George Orwell, who has been through this, will be more mature and use his pen to crusade against the conspirators behind it, wouldn't it be better? At the beginning, Ciric successfully won Orwell over and worked for the propaganda department of the Empire, and that Animal Farm was simply slapping the West in the face!
Just then, an adjutant hurried in and reported to Reinhardt: "Oh no, Mr. Orwell has committed suicide!" ”
