Negrin said happily: "This is really good, we hope to have a long-term cooperative relationship with the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium!" We're going to become the first platinum member of your Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex! ”

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said, "You guys are really bold! You must know that to become a platinum member, you have to buy hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and equipment. I really didn't know that your People's Army still had such a huge demand! It seems that I still underestimate the arms market in Spain! ”

"Of course, our weapons are in great demand! Mr. Philip must also know that our domestic arms production in Spain is very small, and basically relies on foreign procurement, but now that the army has been taken away by Franco, the rebel leader, and the Italian and German governments are secretly supporting Franco, we must have some advanced weapons and equipment to be able to defeat these rebel armies. I think that your assault rifles, Vulcan guns, as well as 105mm light howitzers and 155mm howitzers are all equipment that we need very much. Negrin said excitedly.

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said: "Yes, General Juan's vision is really unique, these weapons are indeed very successful among our weapon products." However, today I would like to recommend you two products that are more suitable for you! That's the MA30 gunboat and the A1 attack aircraft, and I think you'll be interested in both of them. ”

Negrin was surprised, "Oh, Mr. Philip, the names of these two weapons are so unique, it seems that this is the first time I have heard them. Listen to it, maybe they are really suitable, but we don't have to, as long as it's a good weapon, we must buy it. ”

Xiao Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, let me talk about the MA30 gunboat first." Speaking of this weapon, it is necessary to talk about the concept of the gunboat machine. As you can guess from its name, the so-called gunboat is an aircraft that uses an automated cannon as its main weapon, a kind of special operations aircraft. It is both different from fighters. Also different from bombers. Although we know that almost when the aircraft was used in the military, the machine gun has become the main weapon of the combat aircraft, and the traditional combat aircraft use the machine gun, which is to point the muzzle forward, which is for the fighter. For bombers, the machine gun was only a weapon for self-defense, it was usually mounted on the back of the aircraft and fired upwards. The muzzle of the gun is pointed forward, which allows the recoil of the machine gun fire to act steadily on the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, so that the pilot can point the nose of the aircraft at the target, forming the firing condition. ”

"However, when attacking fixed and slow targets, firing forward can cause a lot of trouble, because the speed of the target is zero or very slow. The plane is very fast, so that a relatively stable distance cannot be maintained between the two, and the fate of the aircraft aimed at a stationary target is to collide with it. Therefore, after the first attack, a fighter or attack aircraft must urgently pull up and break away from the target, complete the turn, and then attack the target. Although the loss of firing time can be compensated for slightly by using a machine gun or machine gun range and rate of fire, the defense of targets is also being strengthened, such as armored vehicles. So why don't we use a side-firing weapon? Xiao Weiguo said with a smile.

Negrin nodded and said, "Mr. Philip, you go on!" ”

Xiao Weiguo said loudly: "An aircraft equipped with a side-firing weapon system. Pilots have only one task, and that is to do lighthouse circling maneuvers. In the process, the weapon will naturally be pointed at the target and will be continuously suppressed. Installing a side-firing weapon system on a slow, low-flying aircraft can cover a large ground area and suppress enemy forces with high-angle fire. Aircraft with side-firing weapon systems are low-cost and can be retrofitted with transport aircraft, and our M30 transport aircraft is one of the most performant aircraft that is being mass-produced. We plan to put 1 or 2 Vulcan cannons on top of it, plus 1 or 2 machine guns, so that it will be a powerful gunboat. ”

Negrin wondered: "I heard that the Vulcan cannon is not an anti-aircraft weapon used against fighters and bombers?" How can it also be used against ground targets in reverse? ”

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said, "General Juan, you don't know this, right?" In fact, our Vulcan cannon can become an automatic weapon for land, sea and air use. First of all, it is easy to maintain and has a high rate of fire that is difficult to match with any automatic weapon, and a very low failure rate, it is an accurate and reliable weapon that can be used for any attack mission, even against tanks. The MA30 gunboat is used to deal with tanks, which is very suitable, the Vulcan gun is not only a high rate of fire, it can also reach a range of 3000 meters, shooting at the tank from the air, it can easily penetrate the armor on top of the tank is not too thick. ”

Negrin thought for a moment and said, "However, I feel that although the gunboat can accurately attack ground targets, at the same time it is also vulnerable to ground fire. And the enemy's fighters, for which isn't it also a mortal threat? ”

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said: "That's why I'm going to talk about our A1 attack aircraft!" The MA30 gunboat must be used in conjunction with the A1 attack aircraft to maximize combat effectiveness! At the same time, it ensures that it suffers minimal damage. Of course, our gunboat aircraft will also be equipped with aluminum alloy armor developed by our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex in key parts to ensure that it can survive the attack of ammunition below 12.7 mm caliber. Speaking of the A1 attack aircraft, it is an upgrade of our MT1 training aircraft. It adopts the most advanced monoplane aerodynamic layout and all-metal structure today, and has very good maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, which can not only conduct air combat with enemy aircraft and gain advantages, but also become a ground attack aircraft! It has a maximum ammunition load of up to 300 kg and can be fitted with two 7.7 mm machine guns. In terms of speed, range and firepower, it is currently world-class. I think you deserve it! ”

Negrin nodded and said, "It seems that the A1 attack aircraft is indeed very good, and our enemy has a lot of Italian-made Fiat fighters." The Fiat CR.30 is an all-metal structure, but it is a biplane fighter with cloth skinning on the wings and tail surfaces. Steel-reinforced dura aluminum is used for the fuselage, wings, and tail. Two 12.7mm Breda Savart machine guns above the nose, firing at the propeller rotation range through the firing coordinator, the fire is very powerful! Although the A1 attack aircraft is better than the Fiat CR.30 in flight performance, I am worried about whether the two 7.7mm machine guns are somewhat lacking in firepower? (To be continued.) )
