Chapter 7 Pity for Krupp

This night, Philip thought a lot. If you don't leave Krupp, maybe you will slowly develop into an important member of Krupp, but once you become Hitler's war booster, you will really become a historical sinner, and Philip doesn't want to be judged that day!

However, after leaving Krupp, how to develop is a question! If you go to Sweden, you have no foundation and no money, so you can only enter an arsenal run by an arms dealer and become a technical engineer, which is no different from a part-time job! Since he came to this era with the golden finger of future technology, he must not be mediocre, and must establish his own ordnance empire, like Boeing and Loma in the United States, or even more powerful than them, and become the most powerful ordnance group in the world.

Thinking of this, Philip was thrilled! This is the highest dream of every soldier and worker, and it is exciting to think about it, the whole world has its own weapons developed and produced, fighters flying in the sky, tanks and armored vehicles running on the ground, warships across the four oceans on the water, and silent killer submarines underwater, how proud it should be!

However, it is difficult to get started! After arriving in Sweden, can he become a shareholder of a certain munitions enterprise with technology as he did in later generations? If you come up with one or two weapons technologies that surpass this era, I'm afraid those arms dealers will also rush to it! An assault rifle, for example, is a good technique! Assault rifles are a type of gun that only appeared in the latter part of World War II.

During the First World War, the Germans were armed with 9-mm MP18I submachine guns. Due to the fact that the gun uses a fully automatic fire method, which can pour a large number of bullets in a short time, it has a strong firepower at a close range of 10-50 meters. For this reason, after the end of World War I, the Supervisory Committee of the Treaty of Versailles banned the use of MP18I submachine guns by the defeated German army. However, this does not mean that the MP18I is perfect, because the gun uses 9mm pistol cartridges, which makes the gun's lethality at a distance of 50 meters obviously insufficient, and the shooting accuracy is also much reduced.

The Mauser Model 1898 rifle was the prototype of most rifles of the early twentieth century, including the American M1903 rifle. The 7.92mm Mauser bullet it used was produced from 1888 and is still in use today. The gun was superior in performance and very reliable in its work, and it and its deformed gun were widely used by the German army in both world wars.

The First World War was characterized by a static war of attrition, in which positional warfare was the main mode of warfare, so this resulted in an emphasis on the long range of rifles, and a battle for positions within 50 meters led to a large number of equipment for close-range rapid-fire weapons submachine guns.

After the end of World War I, along with the progress of industrial science and technology, the military strategy and tactical theories of various countries also underwent tremendous changes. In several battles after World War I, such as the Civil War in the Soviet Union and the Spanish Civil War, there were situations that did not occur in World War I. The combat distance of the infantry on both sides was greatly shortened compared with the period of World War I, and more than 70 percent of the battles were concentrated within a distance of 400 meters. At this distance, the rifles that the countries were armed with at that time were not up to the task. Whether it is the German Mauser rifle, the Soviet Union's Mosin-Nagant rifle, or the British Lee Enfield rifle, the effective range is more than 600 meters, and the scale range is more than 1500 meters. With such a strong lethality, it is obviously not necessary at 400 meters. At this distance, the power of conventional rifles is too great, far exceeding the requirements of real combat. At the same time, the rate of fire of the hand-loaded rifles equipped by various countries is not high, and the best marksmen can only fire 10 to 12 rounds per minute. This rate of fire is clearly not capable of inflicting sufficient effective fire suppression on the enemy.

Modern assault rifles, on the other hand, emphasize the continuity and lethality of firepower, and if the concept and technology of a modern assault rifle can be brought out, it will definitely be valued by arms dealers. For the Type 95 assault rifle and the Type 03 assault rifle, Philip was clearly willing to choose the Type 03 assault rifle. Although the stockless Type 95 assault rifle was more novel and unique, the Type 03 assault rifle seemed to be more in line with the needs of this era.

You must know that the originator of modern assault rifles, the German StG44, has produced more than 400,000 units, which is quite an astonishing number. Although Germany was on the verge of defeat at that time, and its excellent performance was widely praised by the front-line troops, it was a pity that Germany, which was already at the end of its power, could not be saved by a new type of weapon.

If you modify the Type 03 rifle a little to make it more in line with this era, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a storm of firearms revolution! In this way, you will be able to make a name for yourself quickly! It's much easier for you to build your own arsenal empire! If you can sell millions of pieces, then the profit will be very amazing! That's the accumulation of raw funds!

Well, I don't know if Lucas will figure it out, and it would be nice if he joined. And the beautiful and amorous nurse Anna, do you want to tell her yourself? I wonder if she will follow her?

Thinking about it, Philip finally fell asleep for a while, and when he woke up again, it was already dawn, and the time was seven o'clock. After a quick wash, Philip went to the dining room.

Lucas had already prepared breakfast, and when he saw Philip appear, he waved warmly and motioned for Philip to come over.

Philip nodded at him, made breakfast and sat down next to Lucas.

Lucas said excitedly: "Philip! I've decided, I'm going to go with you, we're going to create our own miracle! Although the treatment and conditions in Krupp are very good, it is so stable here that I am almost out of passion! If it goes on like this, I will only live an ordinary life, and maybe I will become a sinner of history, as you said. I believe you! ”

Philip happily said, "Lucas, my friend! You've finally made the wisest choice! Look at it, and you'll understand what I'm saying later! I've already figured it out, let's go to Sweden! I'm going to exchange a very leading technology for a stake in the arms dealers, and then start our munitions business! With a certain amount of capital accumulation and contacts, we can become independent and build a real arsenal! Develop the best weapons! ”

Lucas was also touched by this beautiful vision, and his excitement overflowed: "Philip! You're really my idol! By the way, I can't wait for when we're going to resign! ”

Philip sighed: "Let's go and resign tomorrow, and we have to prepare." It's a little sad to leave here! I have been working here for a few years, and I have developed feelings for every grass and tree here. I don't know when I'll be able to come back here? By the time we get back here, has it changed? ”

Lucas laughed, "Philip, are you thinking of that beautiful nurse?" Why don't you take her with you, hehe......"
