Messerschmidt said and glanced at Philip, then continued: "We all know that the improved Gatling gun had a maximum rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute, but it also had a problem, the shooter could not control himself due to excitement and red-eyed on the battlefield, and would go crazy and turn the handle faster and faster, causing the machine gun to jam or burst. The advent of automatic weapons, such as the tube-retractable Maxim machine gun, the gas-guided Browning machine gun, and the Harchikaith machine gun, caused many Gatling guns to be completely destroyed as scrap metal, while others were lost in dusty warehouses or excavated for exhibition in museums and private collections. I wonder what the difference between this Vulcan cannon and the Gatling gun is? ”

With that, Messerschmitt walked down with a smile. He believed that Philip would have to come on stage to explain at this time.

Philip could not help but come to power again, because this Vulcan cannon was related to whether Bofors could occupy a place in the field of artillery design and manufacturing in the world. At the same time, he also needs to make a name for himself through this future artillery and prepare for the establishment of his own ordnance group in the future.

Philip smiled bitterly: "It seems that everyone still has some misunderstandings about the Vulcan Cannon. This gun is originally designed to provide a kind of anti-aircraft fire for ground forces or naval ships, it uses the Gatling principle, yes, but the soldier who operates it will not let the gun jam because of the red eye, because it does not use hand cranking, but is electrically or hydraulically driven, and it has a higher rate of fire, which can reach five or six thousand rounds per minute. However, in air defense operations, the shooting of air targets is carried out in the form of point fire, and dozens of shells are fired in less than a second, forming a barrage and thus destroying the incoming targets. Of course, against lightly armored targets on the ground, strikes are also possible. ”

……

At the forum, weapons experts from various countries spoke freely and expressed their views, which not only opened the eyes of the delegates of various countries, but also gave the weapons experts a lot of inspiration. The development of weapons in the future has entered a fast track, and that's certainly a later story.

The forum lasted until 7 p.m., and everyone was still unsatisfied, but it had to be over. Because everyone's stomachs are rumbling, and the dinner party prepared by the organizers is calling to them.

The dinner provides a rich buffet, where guests can enjoy a good meal and move freely, which allows guests to communicate freely, and eating is just a formality, and socializing is the real content.

Philip stood with Anna, Christina, and Lucas, chatting about today's forum while eating.

Suddenly, someone patted Philip on the shoulder and shouted in German: "Mr. Philip, your speech today is wonderful!" Introduce yourself, I'm Messerschmidt, chief engineer of the Bavarian aircraft factory in Germany, and it's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Philip turned around and saw that the person in front of him was Messerschmidt, who had appeared on the forum! I saw him looking at himself expectantly, as if he had been looking for himself for a long time.

For this legendary aircraft designer, Philip admires the famous Bf109 fighter, which became the most produced fighter in the world, and can even be described as the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter with a series of "most", the most famous fighter in World War II, the largest number of fighters produced, the most models of fighters, and so on. From its test flight in 1935 to its official retirement in 1967, it successfully proved that it could handle all possible missions, whether it was interception, support, night combat, reconnaissance, escort, and ground attack, the Bf 109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe in World War II.

The Bf 109 was designed with a number of the most advanced or avant-garde technologies of its time, including a lower wing, all-metal skin, a narrow fuselage, retractable landing gear, an enclosed cockpit, and more. This aircraft became the ace fighter in the hearts of countless World War II fans, and it is still talked about until the 21st century.

Philip said happily: "I have heard of Dr. Messerschmidt's name for a long time, and I feel very cordial to meet you, and welcome you to the Stockholm Defense Exhibition!" ”

At this time, Messerschmidt was only in his thirties, and he still looked quite young, so he stretched out his finger and praised: "Mr. Philip is worthy of being a rising star of the Krupp family, just relying on the Gungnir assault rifle is enough to make you enter the camp of world-class designers, not to mention the more innovative Vulcan cannon!" ”

Philip was so embarrassed by Messerschmitt's praise that he said, "Where, you are too complimentary!" I'm still far from you, I heard that you founded an aircraft manufacturing company at the age of twenty-five, and you are really an idol of my generation! ”

"All right, Mr. Philip, don't put a high hat on my head. This time, I am looking for you to have a deeper understanding of the Vulcan cannon, which I think may be installed on fighter jets in the future and become a weapon of necessity. If possible, I would like to work with you to develop the Vulcan cannon for aviation in the future, which can be used in fighter jets. Messerschmidt is in the right way.

Philip was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect the famous designer to think of this so quickly! If the Vulcan cannon is installed on a fighter jet, it is indeed a very powerful weapon, but if Hitler gets it, I don't know if it is good or bad?

But it's still early! Besides, this world doesn't seem to be exactly the same as another time and space, so maybe the course of history has changed? No one knows.

Philip said with some embarrassment: "Dr. Willy, you know that this cannon is still only in the conceptual research stage, and it is impossible to develop it in three or five years. Of course, I think you're right, it does have the potential to be an aviation cannon. As far as the current situation is concerned, I think our two companies can carry out some cooperation in aviation special steel and aluminum alloy, and we must know that Bofors has a leading edge in metallurgy. ”

Seeing Philip say this, Messerschmitt also understood that there must be many technical difficulties in the Vulcan cannon, and it will not be successful for a while, and his aircraft company is not developing fighter jets now, but developing a passenger aircraft M20, because the current Germany is still restricted by the Versailles Peace Treaty and is not allowed to organize an air force, so German aircraft factories cannot openly develop military aircraft such as fighters and bombers. However, Messerschmidt believed that one day, the Germans would surely stand on the world stage again, because he had long been preparing to develop a fighter that belonged to Germany.

Messerschmitt nodded, "I agree with you!" Mr. Philip, come and toast to our cooperation! With that, Messerschmidt raised the goblet in his hand, touched it with the goblet in Philippe's hand, and then drank the French red wine in the glass.

This encounter created the legend of the aviation industry and made the German aviation industry at the forefront of the world. The Dragon Soul Ordnance Group, which Philip later established, also gained development opportunities and became the world's largest defense company.
