The reporters raised their hands, thinking of an opportunity to ask questions. Philip said loudly: "Please ask the reporter of the roadside club to ask!" ”

A young journalist in the crowd stood up and asked, "Hello everyone, I'm Corsica, a reporter from the French Roadside Agency, and thank you Mr. Philippe for giving me this opportunity." Will Bofors still get involved in the manufacture of weapons such as tanks and military aircraft? At present, your company has become a dark horse in the arms market. ”

Naturally, Karl answered this question, and he slowly stood up and said: "Everyone knows that our Bofors company is famous in Europe for its artillery manufacturing, but now we have launched weapons like the Gungnir assault rifle, and it is very popular!" So in the future, we will continue to expand our business scope, so let's wait and see. ”

Karl is a battle-hardened veteran, and this answer neither affirms nor denies that they will get involved in the manufacture of tanks and military aircraft, but also cleverly answers the reporter's questions, leaving people with unlimited imagination, everything is possible.

Next, another reporter from the British "Sun" was given the opportunity to ask a question, but the reporter's question was about the rotary artillery, "Hello everyone, I am Thomas, a reporter from the Sun, may I ask how the development progress of the new multi-barreled artillery that appeared on your company's booth?" What are the application prospects in the future? ”

Philip nodded and said, "That's a good question!" Our new small-caliber rotary tube cannon is named Vulcan Cannon! Why? Because of its very high firepower, this gun uses an external power transmission, multi-barreled rotating Gatling principle gun. Its maximum rate of fire can reach more than 5,000 rounds per minute, and even increase the barrel to more than ten in the future, which can form a rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds per minute! This is unattainable for ordinary small-caliber rapid-fire guns. ”

"Ordinary rapid-fire guns, their rate of fire is only a few hundred rounds, and the rate of fire of the rotary tube gun is higher, more than ten times that of ordinary rapid-fire guns, and the rate of fire can be adjusted by changing the number of revolutions of the motor; The barrel rotates at high speed to change the cooling conditions, and because the gun is driven by energy, it has a high reliability and will not affect continuous fire due to non-firing. The Vulcan cannon we developed can be used not only for air defense, but also for striking ground targets, and can be installed on large fighters and bombers, becoming a lethal weapon. Philip said confidently.

"Of course, we are only now in the preliminary design phase, and although the principle is simple, there are still many technical challenges to be solved before it can be turned into a final reliable product. However, this is not a problem, and we expect that it will take about three years to complete the development of this epoch-making artillery. Philip said in the affirmative.

The reporter sat down satisfied.

The third reporter to ask a question was Christina, a beautiful reporter from the New York Times, who saw her graceful figure stand on her feet, attracting the strange eyes of many men. Christina looked at Philip and said seriously: "I'm Christina, a reporter from the New York Times, what is the positioning of Gu's Defense Weekly?" What are its main audience ranges? ”

Karl replied unhurriedly: "Koo's Defense Weekly is the world's first weekly magazine that focuses on military weapons news reports and commentary, and we will focus all our coverage on the basis of obtaining exclusive weapons news, pictures, and commentary from around the world." And to maintain absolute neutrality, objectivity, impartiality and pay attention to the balance of reporting, never involving political news reporting. Our inaugural issue will soon be available at this year's Defense Show and can be obtained free of charge. Koo's Defense Weekly's primary audience is weapons manufacturing companies, military research institutes, military academies, and government agencies. Every year, we regularly conduct a series of weapons rankings, such as the ranking of the world's top 10 fighter jets, the world's top 10 battleships, etc., which will help promote the development of weapons manufacturing around the world. ”

Another TASS reporter asked: "May I ask what is the basis for the weapons ranking of the Koo's Defense Weekly?" ”

Philip replied with a smile: "Of course, it is based on various factors, such as influence, sales, user reviews, etc., but the most important thing is its performance." We rank weapons of the same type so that they are comparable. For example, a fighter, we will take into account its magnitude, light fighters and heavy fighters we will not put them together for ranking, and for fighters, we will mainly make a comprehensive comparison based on its maximum speed, maneuverability, firepower, combat radius, etc., and then come up with a ranking. As for which arms manufacturer produces it, we don't take it into account, so any weapon manufacturer's product is likely to be included in this ranking, which is very helpful for increasing the visibility of the company, especially those of small arms manufacturers that are not well known. ”

A reporter from the German Wolff news agency asked: "Mr. Philippe, does your weekly accept submissions for external commentaries?" If so, what are the specific requirements? ”

Philip laughed and said, "That's a good question! We at Gu's Defense Weekly welcome contributions from military enthusiasts and professional researchers from all over the world, and we will pay a certain amount of remuneration as appropriate! Of course, we also have requirements for submissions, such as word count requirements, we hope that the number of words in the manuscript is more than 5,000 words and less than 30,000 words. This is because our Koo's Defense Weekly, as a highly professional newsweek, must have a certain depth of commentary. In addition, we will also review the quality of the submissions, for example, there should be no fundamental errors or arbitrary speculations about the weapon, but it should be based on facts and use data to speak. At the same time, we will also review the product news released by the weapon manufacturer, and we require the product data they provide to be true, and it is absolutely not allowed to be fake, and once found, we will pull the counterfeit weapon manufacturer into the blacklist! ”

At this time, a reporter's question from the China Far East News Agency was a little different, but his question was very sharp: "May I ask Mr. Philip, what do you think if an arms dealer sells weapons to both sides of the war?" ”

The problem was entirely directed at Bofors and the Swedish arms manufacturers, who, as a neutral country, would not normally be at war with other countries, while its arms manufacturers could sell weapons to both warring sides for more profit. And the simultaneous sale of weapons to two warring countries seems to be playing a role in fueling the flames, making the war between the two countries more intense, which seems to be an immoral act.
