Chapter 31: See the Cottage Again

After the end of the Battle of the Yellow Sea, almost all of the Beiyang Fleet Guan Band and others were rewarded by the imperial court, Lin Taizeng also became the new commander of the Beiyang Fleet, and the soldiers below were even tighter, because this was not only a matter related to the mysterious fleet, after the officers even bluffed and told them that the gang had their list and detailed address, and that as long as someone leaked a word and killed their whole family, these soldiers who participated in the naval battle acted seriously according to the officer's explanation, and even covered their mouths when they slept, for fear that he would reveal the secrets of his dreams.

The victory in the naval battle did not mean the victory of the war, and the naval battle in the Yellow Sea was only a part of the First Sino-Japanese War. After learning the news of the annihilation of the combined fleet, the base camp of the Qing Dynasty accelerated the advance of the army, so as to force the Qing court, and all the indemnities originally formulated were canceled, and only the Korean government was required to be recognized.

For fear of angering Yue himself, Lafayette, who was called by the other party in anger, finally agreed to the request of this aspect by overwhelming the crowd. After learning this news, the whole country was extremely disappointed, saying that the main fleet of the navy, which was no longer on the side, and the army could be said to have become a lone army, as long as their own side was willing to work hard, they would sooner or later become a lonely ghost, but no one expected that at the same time as such a great opportunity to attack, Lafayette chose to compromise. This incident has greatly touched the enthusiasm of the Chinese people, and many of them have already become somewhat disheartened, and some even plan to discharge their armor and return to the fields.

Since there is no compensation and other items in the original history, Wang Lin does not plan to continue to manage it, what he wants is to keep the last trace of vitality in Huaxia, and wait for the future after he unifies the whole country, he will not have to work so hard to find money all over the world. However, judging from the problems that have leaked out of the current naval battle, the navy is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go; as for the matter of the navy's current operation, Wang Lin does not want to make it public at present, and the next workload is very heavy, that is, it is necessary to unify Hainan Island as soon as possible, and then solve the navy's affairs.

At present, Wang Lin's industries have dozens of industries, dozens of factories, including military industry, civilian and so on, and finally in addition to military enterprises, all civilian enterprises are grouped into one company, Nanhai Group.

In the third year after the start of the Second Five-Year Plan, the arsenal had already been completed and put into use, and this was listed as the top priority of the Second Five-Year Plan, and all aspects should naturally be taken care of.

Hualong Military Industry, the name that Wang Lin wishfully gave it, is now the first rifle production line, the first bullet production line, the first artillery production line, the first artillery production line, the first shell production line, too many and too many first existence, this moment was listed by later generations as the first day of the country's rise. With the passage of time, coupled with Wang Lin's Hualong Foreign Trade controlled by Tang Yun, called Foreign Trade, in fact, it is recruiting all kinds of talents all over the world, and it has been two years since winning the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, although I dare not say that Tangcun District is the most densely populated place in the world for scientific researchers, but no one in the whole of Asia dares to say no.

Historically, it should belong to the Mauser 1898 rifle produced in Germany, and now it is still the Germans who took the lead in researching it, as for whether it is manufactured or not, he is not very clear, since the other party is very likely to have successfully researched it, then Wang Lin will naturally not be stupid to directly take the first version of the Mauser 1898 rifle to manufacture, not for anything else, but the surname can be compared with the later 98K rifle is too bad, so today's Hualong military rifle production line produces this kind of rifle called kar98k rifle.

As a standard equipment adopted by Germany in World War I and World War II, its surname can indeed be very reliable, even excellent, which is why Wang Lin chose such a rifle to prepare for the troops.

All military enterprises under Hualong Military Industry are enterprises with a single product, which can not only maximize the production speed, but also keep the manufacturing of equipment confidential to the greatest extent, of course, technically, let one person know what to let ten people know, if it is lost, the loss will not be too big.

Hualong Rifle Military Industry, which is a medium-sized military enterprise with ten rifle production lines and ten machine gun production lines. If the personnel are proficient and use full horsepower, the monthly output can be about 100,000 units, as for the machine gun, Wang Lin is still the standard equipment MG34 general purpose machine gun in Germany during World War II.

As a military fan who is not a military fan, Wang Lin likes to hear this kind of MG34 or MG36 sound when watching movies, that kind of dull sound, so that people can know his model as soon as they hear it. As for Wang Lin's idea of using MG34 instead of MG36, it is also very simple, the lives of soldiers are precious, and he would rather spend more money and materials to give them the best equipment to survive. The most important thing is that they have not yet mastered the production technology of MG36, and this gun Wang Lin does not plan to be installed, so they postponed this project a little.

The first Kar98K rifle and MG34 general-purpose machine gun off the assembly line were immediately taken to the test site by the staff, this was a secret experiment, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, and martial law had been imposed within five kilometers of the periphery, and only Wang Lin was left in the entire test site except for a few experts from military industrial enterprises and senior officers of the army.

A full platoon of less than 10 people will make a further difference to the future of the entire world. Wang Lin held a kar98k rifle in his hand and admired it for a long time, but as a layman, he naturally didn't understand the specific data of this gun and how to see and bad, and the specific ones still had to be handed over to the people in the army to evaluate.

"Li Gong, what about the predetermined parameters of this gun?" Wang Lin suddenly remembered that he still didn't know the parameters of this gun, so he looked at Engineer Li Min, who participated in the design and development.

"Hehe, district chief, the predetermined parameters of this gun are very high, and if we once we are equipped with troops, it will mean that we will be the best equipped army in the world, but we are also confident that we will fully achieve this goal, so I will talk about the specific parameters.

7.92 mm caliber, using 7.92 * 57 mm bullets, 5 rounds of ammunition capacity, manual loading, total length of 1107 mm, barrel length 600 mm, weight 3.9 kg, rate of fire of about 15 rounds a minute, muzzle velocity of 755 meters per second, effective range of 800 meters, our sight is the use of curved ruler, V-shaped notched door. Although more than 60 percent of the entire drawing data was handed over to them by Wang Lin, after absorbing this idea, the engineers involved in the research seemed to have a higher understanding of weapons, and each had their own different ideas.

This is also the reason why Wang Lin did not give them the data completely, in addition to letting them understand these technologies, but also to leave them room for reverie, as the saying goes, the master brought into the door to practice by the individual, Wang Lin gave them the drawings, the rest depends on them, not to mention that since then, for the rifle drawings, Wang Lin will not give them a piece, and there is a lot of time left for them to study, to create, and what Wang Lin does is just to let them see the wonderful world outside and broaden their horizons.

'Bang' a gunshot rang out, Tang San, who couldn't wait, took the first step to pull the trigger, and a bullet passed through a hole in the target paper preset at the same time two hundred meters away, and then Tang San quickly loaded it manually, and then pulled the trigger again.

"Commander, I don't think this gun is as good as the gun that our troops are now equipped with, although the accuracy is good, and the various surnames are also good, but this rate of fire is also a little too slow, and you have to pull the bolt to shoot a bullet, which is a bit too troublesome." Tang San put down his rifle and said slowly.

It's nothing to Wang Lin to say this, but Li Min, who participated in the design and research and development, was immediately unhappy when he heard it, Lao Tzu worked hard for a year to design a successful rifle that was so worthless as you said, since it is not good, then why did the district mayor authorize them to develop this rifle? At that moment, Li Min wanted to argue with Tang San, but Wang Lin took the lead and said:

"No matter how good the guns are installed in the army now, it is not produced by ourselves, those are all necessary to be replaced sooner or later, the future troops will still be based on this kind of rifle, and you don't want to keep the current weapons, but I can tell you for sure that with this rifle in your hand, you can no longer find a more advanced rifle than him in this world."

Wang Lin naturally knows what this gun is, and if it doesn't work, he will naturally not authorize the production, but although this rifle is good, the rate of fire is too slow, but it is still absolutely ahead in the next one or two decades, as for the future, then we will talk about it later. Moreover, Wang Lin will not let the troops use it for a long time, Wang Lin intends to retire this rifle after the end of World War I, and then replace it with a new semi-automatic weapon, so that he can overwhelm the armies of the great powers in World War II.

Tang San was very distressed, to be honest, he really didn't want to retire the rifles used in the current army, but there was no way, three years of military school, five years of army practice had made him deeply understand that if he couldn't produce weapons and ammunition, even if he was a strong army, if the other party cut off his own supplies, then he would be a force to be slaughtered.

Kar98K, although it is man-made in Germany, but now Germany has not yet manufactured it, and has not begun to develop, they are only researching the first generation of Mauser 1898 rifle, and it has not yet been named, so Wang Lin named this gun Zhonghua type, it will replace the rifle used by the army now, officially become the standard equipment of the new army, and will also be carried out as the first refitting project.
