There are two ways to overtake the enemy, one is to catch up, and the other is to pull the opponent down. Since it is difficult to surpass head-on, then create trouble for the United States and let them fall into infighting, and it is best to prevent Roosevelt from being elected, and without the New Deal, the United States will continue to sink, so that China will have more opportunities.

But it's incredibly difficult to do. Zhang Tinglan kept thinking of various plans, how many times he crossed his predecessors, all of them took advantage of the trend, took Roosevelt's line early, and even sent benefits, sent orders, and then got some benefits from Roosevelt.

This may be much easier, but in Zhang Tinglan's view, the bad luck of the United States is the biggest benefit for China, and the more unlucky it is, the happier China will be. After all, only these two countries, and perhaps Russia, have enough to storm the world hegemon and enjoy the world after the decline of Britain. When the United States is at its most chaotic and weak, it can play as many black hands as it can, and it is better to rectify the cripples in order to be in China's interests.

Zhang Tinglan thought about it for three days before she solemnly wrote a few words on the paper: Populist political strategy!

……

"President, this is the Czech ZB-26 light machine gun, we have inspected the light machine guns of many countries, and we have also tried to develop them ourselves, but after comparison and weighing, the performance of this machine gun is the most stable, the shooting accuracy is high, the mobility is flexible, the barrel is easy to replace, and the maintenance is simple, so it was decided to introduce it. Now it has been modified according to the characteristics of our bullets, which can fire 7 * 51 mm heavy bullets, and currently has been equipped with 5 main divisions, and the soldiers have responded quite well. ”

Han Linchun, who was in charge of firearms, briefed Zhang Tinglan on the situation, unifying the small arms system, increasing the firepower of the troops, and reducing the difficulty of logistics, which was an order issued by Zhang Tinglan a long time ago.

Especially after the war with Russia, the Chinese side has summed up a lot of lessons, among which there are many firearms that need to be adjusted. The old Maxim machine guns were outdated, and the troops needed better and simpler weapons.

In addition, the ** teams have begun to be equipped with automatic rifles. Of course, the squadron cannot lag behind the new submachine guns, and another large-scale refitting operation of the whole army has begun.

One of the weapons chosen was the ZB-26 light machine gun, a rifle native to the Czech Republic and a very famous light machine gun during World War II. The squadron was heavily equipped, and in the course of fire, the ZB-26 defeated the Japanese crooked machine guns, inflicting heavy casualties on the Japanese.

The working principle of the ZB-26 light machine gun is the piston long-stroke gas conduction type, and the bolt deflection locking method is adopted, that is, the bolt tail is lifted up and snapped into the locking card slot at the top of the receiver to achieve locking.

You can choose between single or burst shots. When the trigger is pulled. The bolt moves forward. The dust sheet under the magazine bounced forward at the same time. It is used for empty cartridge shells to be thrown downward, and is usually closed to prevent sand and dust from entering. After the bullet is pushed into the chamber, the piston rod and bolt mount move forward by inertia, thus striking the firing pin in the bolt. At this time, the rear end of the bolt has been pressed up against the magazine by the bolt base, and it is indeed locked.

When the bullet passes through the air hole of the barrel, the gas is introduced into the piston barrel to push the piston rod and the bolt to retreat, at this time, the rear end of the bolt is unlocked with the chute of the base, the bolt continues to retreat, and pulls out the empty cartridge case, to the end of the chamber, the retracting tenon hits the upper edge of the bottom of the bullet by the groove on the bolt. The cartridge case ejects downward, and finally the gun returns to disembowel standby.

As one of the successors of the Austro-Hungarian industrial system, the Czech military industry is not weak, and the ZB-26 reflects their attainments in light weapons.

Of course, the ZB-26 also has weaknesses, such as the use of magazines to feed ammunition. There were only twenty rounds of ammunition, and the continuity of fire was not good. However, it is enough as a light machine gun, and after Zhang Tinglan saw it, he was also quite satisfied.

"The next step is to reequip the main forces, and as for the old equipment that has been decommissioned, it will be temporarily handed over to the militia." Zhang Tinglan said: "Director Han, is it just a light machine gun, isn't there a heavy machine gun?" ”

"President, I invite you to come over this time to test the full set of equipment, how can there be nothing else. However, we did not study heavy machine guns, so we chose to join forces with the Germans and develop a general-purpose machine gun. ”

"General purpose machine gun?"

"That's right, even if you have the range power of a heavy machine gun and the dexterity and convenience of a strong machine gun, weapons should become more and more versatile, and I think that's a trend." Han Linchun said with a smile: "Of course, when it comes to researching general-purpose machine guns, it was the Versailles Treaty that forced the Germans out. If you don't want to be equipped with heavy machine guns, and you still want to maintain your due firepower, you can only play the side ball. ”

There has long been a secret agreement between China and Germany, and Germany has also sent many military and technical personnel to China, and the two major military giants, Mauser and Rheinmetall, have also tested new weapons in China.

In World War I, the Germans were the first to realize the value of machine guns, and with the increasing mechanization of weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, personnel carriers, airplanes in the sky, and warships in the water all need to be equipped with a large number of machine guns.

Therefore, the Germans decided to develop a general-purpose machine gun, but at this time the German government was still relatively weak, and the army could only secretly study it in China. Chinese technicians also joined in and made quite a few suggestions. Moreover, based on actual combat experience, an improvement plan was proposed.

In general, the new general-purpose machine gun was born ahead of schedule under the joint efforts of China and Germany. The design of the machine gun is similar to that of the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun, the gun has an empty weight of 12.1 kg, including a tripod of 19.2 kg, a single drum with 75 rounds, and can also be fed with a chain, with a range of 800 meters in the state of a light machine gun and 1800 meters in the state of a heavy machine gun, and a rate of fire of 800 to 900 rounds per minute.

After the successful development, experiments were carried out in the squadron, and the soldiers liked this powerful machine gun very much, and the military also compared it with the machine guns in service in various countries around the world, and this machine gun was top-notch.

Zhang Tinglan also knows the brilliant results of MG34 in World War II, and he is naturally very happy to be able to develop it in advance, with these two machine guns, it has basically met the needs of the troops, and it is enough to face World War II.

"President, the Germans are always a little too complicated in designing things, although they are very sophisticated, but the price is still high, and the process requirements are very strict. Such a machine gun costs 49 kg of steel, which is quite wasteful. However, the idea of a general-purpose machine gun is very good, and I propose to develop a general-purpose machine gun with complete Chinese origin on the basis of the Germans. ”

"Well, the development of a good gun is not achieved overnight, and the troops must be reequipped as soon as possible. Time waits for no one! ”

"Please rest assured, President." Han Linchun swore that "we have also made new progress in rifles and submachine guns, and have developed new guns. ”

As he spoke, Han Linchun picked up a brand-new rifle and introduced it to Zhang Tinglan with a smile: "The prototype of this rifle comes from the American firearms designer Garland, and we spent a lot of money to get the drawings from him, and we also bought a patent by the way. The old-fashioned rifle that shoots a shot and pulls the bolt is a bit outdated, and the troops need weapons that can reload automatically, and this rifle can give our soldiers a new experience. ”

Zhang Tinglan heard Garland's three words. I guessed that this rifle was the Chinese version of the famous M1 Garand rifle. The M1 Garand rifle is recognized as the best rifle of World War II. Reliable. Durable, it's definitely a classic. It is very interesting that the Americans have been fighting wars for decades, but they did not expect to appear on the Chinese side in advance.

After looking at the rifle. I looked at the carbine again, and unlike the previous three guns, the new carbine was developed by the Chinese side itself. Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also participated in it, and he referred to some characteristics of some later American M2 carbines and put forward Chinese technical standards.

After the efforts of the designers, the finished product was finally produced, and the American M2 carbine was not only able to replace the role of the submachine gun, but also had a certain accuracy within 300 meters. It can even take on the duties of a submachine rifle, and it is a quite successful firearm. Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, the weight is too light, which causes the muzzle to rise, which affects the accuracy.

At the time of design. Adding some weight effectively overcomes this problem. Among these new guns, Han Linchun likes the carbine with fierce firepower the most.

"President, the power of this gun is really good, but the consumption is also quite large, as soon as you pull the trigger, 15 bullets will be gone, which makes people hurt!"

"China is no longer what it used to be, especially with the two sources of copper in Central Asia and Chile, we have no shortage of copper, and making bullets is as easy as drinking water. On the contrary, the life of a soldier is the most precious, no matter how many bullets are consumed on the battlefield, it can reduce casualties, it is all worth it, you just need to equip it! ”

"With the words of the president, we dare to let go of our hands and feet, in fact, not long ago, when Vice Chairman Sun Anhu came to check, he complained that we didn't know how to save the things we made."

Zhang Tinglan also laughed: "The people of their generation are all from hard times, and my father also said that in the beginning, they had to calculate every bullet, and they could use a big knife, and they definitely didn't need bullets." Over the years, we should also be more generous, this is not what it used to be, this is the power of industrialization. ”

"That's right, after all these years of military industry, I can understand why Monk Greenqin's horse team was easily defeated, and the contest between two civilizations will not solve the problem by relying on courage. Now, if the Eight Banners are resurrected, we only need to set up a hundred machine guns and let them charge, which will be just a bunch of meat targets. ”

The reason why China is backward in modern times, even small Japan can bully China's head, can summarize countless reasons, but in the final analysis, it is the gap in industrial level, before the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese were able to produce all industrial products from small screws to large aircraft carriers.

Compared with the late Qing Dynasty, China's industrial level has not only not progressed, but also continued to retreat, and the late Qing Dynasty was able to build warships and cannons. Under the rule of a certain duke, when a mortar was made, the first shell exploded, killing the designer!

Now China is very different, the First Five-Year Plan has laid the foundation, the Great Depression has given China's industry a pair of wings, and the flying dragon is in the sky, just around the corner!

After inspecting the firearms, Zhang Tinglan inspected the artillery factory, just six months ago, when China had taken a stake in the Swedish company Bofors. During World War II, Sweden seemed to be a small country that was almost overlooked, but Sweden was still very famous for its weapons.

In particular, the 40-mm anti-aircraft guns produced by Bofors have been widely used, from battleships to patrol boats, all of which use Swedish anti-aircraft guns.

For such a company, Zhang Tinglan will not let go, naturally got the stock early, and got the design team to China. In fact, Bofors was able to come up with products that conquered the world, or it was supported by people in Germany.

It was clear that Germany wanted to preserve the military-industrial complex and could not put its eggs in one basket, so it was logical to cooperate with the Swedes. China also has a large amount of German technology, and after the introduction of technology, China quickly went into mass production.

Zhang Tinglan went around in the military industrial complex, and on the issue of firearms, China introduced four classic guns, which were fully capable of dealing with World War II, and anti-aircraft guns were also landed. The task now is to produce at full capacity and fully reequip more than 600,000 troops!

At a time when China was bent on reorganizing its armed forces and seeking development, a new wave also emerged in North America, and the newly elected federal congressman Davis published an article on the front page of the New York Daily that shook the United States.

"The Truth of the Times -- Ninety-Nine Percent and One Percent Confrontation!"

Over the past year, America has gone from heaven to hell, the stock market has crashed, jobs have been lost, thousands of people have become homeless and homeless, and the streets are full of hungry people. Mothers can only watch their children cry when they are waiting to be fed, men dare not go home to face their wives, people lose their houses, they lose their cars, they lose everything, and soon they can't even guarantee their lives!

We can't help but ask, what happened to the United States, what happened? Where does the money go? Where did the work go? Did God abandon us, or did someone fool us?

In fact, it is obvious that when the vast majority of people are struggling to die, there are a group of fat cats lying on the luxury oil tanker, young girls around them, these people enjoy the sunshine, taste the bright red wine, it is not wine, but you and my blood!

Yes! There are a whole bunch of parasites in this country, they are the fat cats of Wall Street, they have screwed up finance, they have screwed up the United States, but they don't have to bear any consequences, and they are still enjoying luxury.

It's time, don't be patient, stand up bravely, defend the United States, defend the American dream, and let's challenge those fat cats......

After this article was published, it quickly went viral in the United States, and everyone nodded frequently to the above statement, and it is true that it is a group of shameful financial fat cats who have robbed them of everything and completely ruined the American dream.

A strong dissatisfaction is brewing in the United States, and the trend against Wall Street has been blowing, which is what Zhang Tinglan wants to see the most.

As a politician, you have to stand in front of everyone and see farther than others, but populist politicians don't need it, as long as you find the greatest common divisor and the greatest average among the common people, and say what these people like to hear, Congressman Davis instantly became a hero of the United States!
