With the real thing, especially the anti-aircraft machine gun with excellent performance, the northwest side quickly replied to the Germans, and the German side asked the northwest for help, which is the last straw, there is better, there is no way, they will rely on the airship provided by the northwest, and the British and French airship decisive battle in Paris, it is conceivable that the loss will be very large, but this is no way, this is the price that must be paid to capture Paris.

But no one thought that they would get a quick response from the Northwest, and the request was only a few days, and the feedback came back, and the Northwest not only gave a solution. THE FIRST BATCH OF 2,000 12.7MM AND 1,500 14.5MM MACHINE GUNS WERE ALSO DELIVERED TO GERMANY, WHICH WAS IN THE PAST, THE YINSHAN BASE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE TRIAL PRODUCTION OF THE TRAINING CENTER, ALL PACKED AND ARRIVED IN BASRA BY SEA, AND THEN TRANSPORTED TO GERMANY BY 3B RAILWAY, AT MOST 25 TO 30 DAYS, IT CAN BE TRANSPORTED TO GERMANY, ABSOLUTELY IN TIME FOR THE BATTLE OF PARIS.

In order to show sincerity, the Northwest also invited the German military to do a certain test, of course, but the performance of 12.7, 14.5 and 17.5, 20.5 is too good, and it has a certain effect on low-altitude and low-speed aircraft, so it was delayed by the Northwest, and the export was delayed, anyway, if the strategy is correct, the height of 2500 meters and the height of 4000 meters will not be too different.

Also in a test gun factory, but only three altitudes, the German military attaché stationed in China and some military generals, together participated in the experiment, these things can be seen with the eyes, many officers saw with their own eyes the test sounding balloons, at 800 meters and 1500 meters. At an altitude of 2500 meters, when it was crushed by dense fire. Everyone was stunned, some young. The German commanders, who had a strong divergent thinking, directly thought of many tactics, and in air combat, they pulled the opponent's airships into the corresponding area, so that they could play the role of these anti-aircraft machine guns.

In air combat, there is a principle that has been confirmed, altitude is everything, so in the training of airships, how to occupy heights. It has become the key, the downwind direction, and the sneak attack under the cover of the clouds are one of the tactics of the airship, and now with the anti-aircraft machine gun, it is completely different, and the airship can be led down purposefully.

In a way, pull down the height, in the case of a huge difference in height. The accuracy will be greatly reduced, and generally speaking, a difference of 150 to 200 meters in height is an appropriate height, as long as these airships are pulled below this height. If the other party wants to attack, they must follow, and everything seems to be logical.

Some German servicemen who were a little more radical. Ask if it is possible to put an anti-aircraft machine gun on top of the airship, such a moving airship. It's going to be more powerful, though. The Northwest side regretfully told them not to rejoice too soon, this is impossible.

The reason why the airship can fly into the sky is because the overall specific gravity is lighter than air, even if the airship is modified in the northwest, whether it is the engine room or the gondola below, it is impossible to be too strong, and even the armor cannot be there, because of the pursuit of anti-aircraft effect, the barrel is much longer than that of ordinary machine guns, and the most important thing is that the recoil is extremely large, and it is unlikely to withstand such a violent recoil with the firmness of the airship.

Hearing this conclusion, the German officer was only slightly disappointed, and did not care too much, this is a land weapon in itself, with three kinds of machine guns, 800 meters, 1500 meters, and even 2500 meters, this will become a forbidden area, as long as the opponent's airship is lured over, they can set a trap against the other side in a relatively safe situation, and assault the opponent's airship, the price of anti-aircraft machine guns is very expensive, basically more than 3 times that of ordinary machine guns of the same caliber, and the bullets are almost like this, However, the appearance of a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns is equivalent to a certain extent, reducing the advantage of the disadvantage of the number of airships, from a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, when the replenishment is in place, that is, when the two sides have a decisive battle in the air, even if there is only one chance, the balance of the two sides will change, and victory will inevitably belong to Germany.

The German side reported the good news to the country, and the German General Staff finally confirmed the effect of this anti-aircraft machine gun on air objects after repeated inquiries, especially some details of live firing, and contacted the German military factory, and asked the military factory about this idea to see if the military factory could imitate it, but unfortunately, there was no way to manufacture it in a short time, under this premise, Germany began to place a large number of orders to the northwest, and the price of the anti-aircraft machine gun tripled. It is impossible to be much more expensive than an artillery, the price of 12.7 is about 2700 northwest yuan, 14.5 is 3300 yuan, and 17.5 is the most expensive, reaching 5200 yuan, but the German side did not hesitate to place a total of 10,000 sets, including bullets, 70 million northwest yuan order, requiring it to be completed within 3 months.

From the beginning of the war, military spending and other expenditures have been increasing, and Germany has almost everything shortage, from weapons, to civilian materials, to food, the northwest, which has a huge production capacity, has ensured Germany's needs in all aspects, and many things have only earned reasonable benefits, which is also the fundamental reason why the trade between the northwest and Germany can continue. No matter how much Germany has developed, it has only developed in the past few decades, and the whole country is not as rich as Britain and France, the two rogue countries that have occupied the power of the world for many years, and at the beginning they almost gritted their teeth and insisted, in order to get France out of the war after occupying Paris.

Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that this was impossible, during World War II in later generations, even Paris was occupied, the whole of France fell, there were puppet governments, France was still resisting, and the war of the country was almost impossible between the two great powers at the same level. The war must have gone for three or four years, because there was a blood transfusion from the northwest, and it was not necessarily possible to hold on, so the northwest simply chose to exchange it in kind, even including some antiques and the like, which can be exchanged at a reasonable valuation, and from an alternative point of view, to give Germany continuous support.

At the beginning of the war, Germany gained a lot of gains, at least, Belgium is an independent country, the treasury has accumulated dozens of tons of gold after a long period of accumulation, plus the private seizure, almost 100 tons, just this, can support the war for a short time, plus some cultural relics collection, these together, it is also a huge harvest, from the French side to get more, itself France is a traditional power, like Britain, almost robbed the whole world, his wealth is more.

Germany's siege of Paris, to a certain extent, is also derived from the coveting of Paris's wealth, because the German side is extremely fast, Paris has no way to transfer many things, and what may be transported away is a small amount of gold, and the rest are in the major museums in Paris, according to the previous German survey figures, Paris has large and small museums, more than 3,000 exhibition halls, conservative estimates, at least 5 billion - 15 billion US dollars of wealth, won these, At least the military investment in the previous year is there, and more things can be purchased from the northwest.

Under the support and reconciliation of the Northwest, the whole situation of the First World War gradually changed in another direction, Germany effectively exchanged the things collected in the war for resources and weapons, avoiding indifferent consumption, the Northwest from Germany, harvested a large amount of hard currency such as gold, industrial machinery and some antiques, among which there belonged to China, in the past war time, lost to Europe, but more of the European cultural relics, although some of the more important, were taken back by Germany, as trophies, But the remaining quantity is also quite huge, these are very good products for ordinary people, but in the sense of the country, they can only be regarded as valuable things, cultural relics protection, in addition to selling in a short period of time, can not get more, and even because of protection and repair, a lot of resources will be invested.

Germany in the critical period of the war, can not afford this investment, the emergence of the northwest, is equivalent to the appropriate price, to take over these valuable cultural relics, in this case, it is equivalent to a certain extent, the German side of the purchasing power, let them turn these wealth into weapons, use in the war, now it seems, Germany is doing very well, the war situation in Europe intuitively shows this.

The order has been arranged for the appropriate enterprise production, the Northwest from the very beginning, when the layout, it is aimed at the military industry, the proportion of the military industry is quite large, anti-aircraft machine guns, except for a small part of the materials, need to be processed with special molds or materials, most of the materials, and ordinary machine guns are not much different, let alone 10,000 sets, even if it is 350,000 sets, it is no problem, in addition to the German order, the Northwest Army itself, anti-aircraft machine guns will be popularized to the regimental level, in a regiment, There will be a special list of anti-aircraft machine gun companies, ordinary companies of about 250 people, will be strengthened to about 350 people, according to the distribution of a group of 5 people twin anti-aircraft machine guns, a total of 140 will be equipped, as far as this data is concerned, the huge military system in the northwest, a division is about 1,000, the entire army, about 70 divisions, is almost 70,000, plus some larger calibers, this production number will reach between 100,000 and 120,000.

Any kind of weapon, when the number is reduced to a certain batch, the cost of research will make the price of the weapon very high, but when the number is huge, the price of the weapon will gradually be diluted, the Northwest has always advocated a large scale, with the output to spread the cost, anti-aircraft guns not to mention for the time being, ordinary anti-aircraft machine guns can be used for many years, and even in history, World War II and even the later War to resist US aggression and aid Korea and the Vietnam War are used, these abrasives and production lines can be built separately, It is enough to support the German orders and the gap created after the future expansion of the Northwest Army.
