Chapter 100: Miss 75
"Your Royal Highness, I will organize engineers to conduct research and development as soon as possible, and strive to turn these weapons from drawings into reality in the shortest possible time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When the time comes, we will definitely win the favor of the army in terms of light weapons. When the time comes, getting an order will be a breeze! "Gustav? Krupp's face was excited.
Gustav? Krupp seems to have seen that Mauser and Rheinmetall will be overwhelmed by Deutsche Arms. Their market share will be seized by Deutsche Arms.
"Well, with Krupp's R&D capabilities, there should be no problem in turning these design drawings into reality within a year, right?" Qin Tian asked. Krupp has done little in the field of light weapons, though. However, their R&D capabilities are still very strong.
"One year, that's enough. Your Royal Highness, we will definitely be able to develop these weapons and equipment within a year. "Gustav? Krupp assured.
"Mr. Krupp, it would be great if it could be completed in one year. However, in terms of performance, it cannot be compromised. In terms of reliability, we also strive to be the best. Otherwise, it won't be so easy to convince the Army guys. Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gustav? Krupp nodded.
German weapons have always been refined, which makes the design of weapons very complicated. The most obvious example is undoubtedly the German Tiger tank in World War II. The staggered arrangement of load-bearing wheels certainly met the needs of the heavy Tiger tank, but at the same time, it also made the repair and maintenance of the Tiger tank a disaster. Of course, this was mainly due to the lack of rubber in Germany at that time, and the performance of industrial rubber could not be beaten, so the reason why such a design had to be adopted. In addition, the cost of German weapons was also very high, so that the German army was not equipped with too many new weapons. This seriously restricted the development of the German army's combat strength.
In this time and space, Qin Tian naturally wanted to avoid such a situation from happening again as much as possible. Therefore, the weapons and equipment he designed were selected as many as possible to have excellent performance and relatively simple design. Next, if the technology can be reached, he also hopes to be able to develop the AK47. In this case, the combat effectiveness of the German Army will be even more perverted.
For this cooperation with Qin Tian, Gustav? Krupp was very satisfied. Especially the excellent designs that Qin Tian came up with, it means huge profits.
"Mr. Krupp, I hope that the development of these light weapons will not affect the development of naval artillery in the navy. Those naval guns of the Navy are the first. Qin Tian said solemnly.
Qin Tian knew that the navy was Germany's shortcoming, and it was also the main reason why Germany would lose the war in another time and space. Therefore, he has always attached great importance to the navy. Only when the navy defeats the British navy will Germany's overseas trade not be cut off, and Germany will be able to continue the war without being dragged to death by Britain, France, the United States, and other countries. As for the Army, it is naturally good to be able to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Army. Even if this cannot be achieved, it does not matter, anyway, the German Army has the best combat effectiveness in the world, and at most it will kill more people in the war.
Of course, Germany's population is not large in the first place. So the life of every German soldier is very precious. If you can reduce the casualties of your troops as much as possible, then why not?
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. For the naval guns of the Navy, we will definitely put them in the first place. We will allocate additional personnel to study light weapons. It will not affect the development of naval guns of the Navy. "Gustav? Krupp nodded solemnly. He knew very well that Qin Tian valued the navy. If it affects the construction of the navy, I'm afraid Qin Tian will be very dissatisfied. In this case, it will affect the cooperation between the two parties.
"That's right, Mr. Krupp. Do you know the French Army's M1897 Type 75mm rapid-fire gun? Qin Tian asked.
"M1897 75mm rapid-fire gun?" Gustav? Krupp frowned. Of course, he knew about this standard field gun of the French Army. It's just that this has not been taken seriously. In his opinion, it was the German artillery that was the most important. Of course, the performance of these guns produced by Krupp is the most advanced.
"Mr. Krupp, I promise, it's a very terrifying artillery. If we don't pay attention to it, it will make our army suffer greatly in future wars. Qin Tian said with a serious face.
The M1897 French 75mm field gun, also known as Miss 75, was the main artillery of the French army in World War I. Although this kind of artillery weighs only one and a half tons, it has a range of 8,500 meters, and what is even more terrifying is the rate of fire of this artillery. The maximum rate of fire is capable of reaching 15 rounds per minute. Such a rate of fire undoubtedly exceeds that of the same type of artillery in all other countries. Of course, this also includes German field guns of the same caliber.
In the First World War in another time and space, the German army was often hit by the intensive fire of the French artillery when attacking, resulting in huge casualties.
Although, the main force of the German army, 105 mm caliber artillery, was able to suppress the French artillery. But in terms of rate of fire, there is still no comparison. If Germany can have artillery with the same performance, this will further improve the artillery strength of the German Army.
"Is it that powerful?" Gustav? Krupp doubted this. After all, he firmly believed that the artillery produced by Krupp was the most advanced.
"The maximum rate of fire of this 75-mm field gun of the French, which reached 15 rounds per minute." Qin Tian said.
"What? That's impossible! "Gustav? Krupp immediately jumped to his feet, looking incredulous.
But when he saw Qin Tian's serious expression, he couldn't help but believe that what Qin Tian said was true.
"Oh God! How did the French do it? How could they possibly bring the rate of fire of a field gun to 15 rounds per minute? Isn't that terrifying? "Gustav? Krupp looked shocked.
"The French, on this field artillery, completely solved the problem of recoil. The barrel of the gun can be slid on the cradle by means of guide wheels, which are mounted on the gun carriage, which is connected to the piston rod in the reentry barrel. When the gun recoils, the piston compresses the hydraulic oil, causing a portion of the hydraulic oil to enter the air chamber through a narrow oil valve to compress the air. When the rear of the gun is seated at the end, it returns to its original position under the reaction of compressed air. This makes their guns very fast. Of course, in order to confuse us, so when they were propagating, they deliberately reduced the rate of fire. ”
