112 New Weapons (Part II)
Lenin was very interested in the SCR-536 walkie-talkie, a large box that was completely different from the way radio worked in this era, and it transmitted not a ticking electric spark, but a real sound. There is no need for a telegrapher, and the response speed is increased exponentially, even if it is a column
Ning, who was a complete layman in the radio and military spheres, also saw the value of the SCR-536.
"Comrade Andrey, what is the maximum communication range of the SCR-536?" Lenin asked with interest.
"No more than five kilometers!"
This answer was far from Lenin's ideal, but fortunately he didn't have much hope, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Comrade Andrey, is there a model with a longer transmission distance?" ”
Li Xiaofeng was stunned, he didn't think as deeply as Lenin, the reason why he exchanged SCR-536 was ostensibly to facilitate his work, but in fact, it was the bad habit of this guy who wanted to be face-saving and showy. Come to think of it, it's so bad that the standard spy style in blockbusters - suits, sunglasses, and walkie-talkies hanging from your ears are all indispensable. Although Tekko has not yet embarked on the road of specialization, and more advanced communication tools cannot be afforded, it does not prevent someone from experiencing it in advance "shoddy".
It wasn't until Lenin suddenly reminded him that someone woke up to the fact that he knew that he was invincible, and that the transmission of messages did not require more advanced means of communication. He could have exchanged Lenin for a few of the most advanced radio stations of his time, but it was clear that he did
Ning was interested in wireless communication tools that could talk directly, and the tick-tock radio was not attractive to his old man.
It's a bit nerve-wracking, it's not that there aren't any eligible stations. It is really expensive to meet the requirements, such as the SCR-536 of the same era, another SCR-300 that was proliferated in World War II. This knapsack FM walkie-talkie has a working distance of 20 miles (32 km) and weighs about 16 kilograms. As a battalion-level communication tool, it is competent enough, but the price is as high as 200 cents, and the SCR-536 is only 50 cents per unit. At someone's current level, it is also a gnashing of teeth to redeem.
Since Comrade Lenin has given orders, Li Xiaofeng will successfully complete his task even if he smashes the pot and sells iron. Isn't it the SCR-300? Isn't it just two hundred immortal power? For the sake of progress, brother is out!
"Comrade Lenin, there is an SCR-300 that will meet your needs. The maximum communication distance of this model reaches 30 kilometers! ”
Lenin nodded with satisfaction and asked with a pleasant face: "Then Comrade Andrei, can you buy this one?" After returning to the country, the work of the party urgently needed this novel communication tool! ”
If you want it, it's easy!
If it were someone else, Li Xiaofeng would directly offer the price, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. But in the face of Lenin, who knew the Bolsheviks well, he could not follow the path of doing business.
"Comrade Lenin, these walkie-talkies are my ...... A product of NORINCO started by my brother. ”
He almost lost his words, and in the face of the poor and crazy Bolsheviks, he did not dare to expose the essence of his capitalist.
"Although my brother has always supported the revolution, after hearing about the practical difficulties of our party, he donated these weapons and communication equipment......
Before Li Xiaofeng's words were finished, Lenin waved his hand lightly and said arrogantly: "Comrade Andrei, I know your concerns. In the future, the weapons and equipment party will not ask for it in vain, it will give money! ”
Looking at the reasonable Lenin, a certain immortal wanted to cry. Li Xiaofeng is really not afraid that Lenin will not give money, nor is he afraid of giving away equipment for nothing. This guy is just trying to exaggerate the difficulty of things in order to flaunt his achievements.
Spend money to buy? What's that, you spend money to buy it, what else does my brother do? To tell you the truth, Comrade Lenin, my brother is not short of this money, and you can't buy this thing even if you have money!
"It's not about the money!" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly clarified his attitude, "It is really difficult to produce and process SCR-300. I am afraid that the party's work will be delayed. ”…,
I see!
Lenin really thought that someone was afraid of receiving a blank slip just now, and to be honest, he was a little unhappy about this, and what a noble and glorious thing it is to work for the party and contribute to the revolutionary cause! You kid actually talked to me about money, your consciousness is a little low!
However, Li Xiaofeng's later words completely dispelled Lenin's dissatisfaction, and sure enough, he was a good comrade, not because he was worried about money, but because he was afraid that the production efficiency would be too low and affect the party's work. This is the consciousness that a true Bolshevik should have! For a certain immortal's "high wind and bright festival", column
Ning was very satisfied.
Immediately, he spoke with a big grin: "Don't get in the way, use a few first!" ”
You're welcome! Li Xiaofeng's favor is enough, but his heart is unbalanced, in the end, this kid is still a little childish, seeing that Lenin really doesn't plan to give money, he immediately became entangled again.
Not only did Lenin not intend to spend money on communications equipment, but he also did not intend to pay for other weapons, but still intended to let some immortal give them away for nothing. Seeing that Lenin's whole energy was on the SCR-536, he was afraid that the other party's lion would open his mouth and give the next order for a few hundred units in one go, so he hurriedly diverted Lenin's attention in other directions.
"Comrade Lenin, since you have come, let me observe and guide the training of the comrades, please point out the problems!"
After being reminded by a certain immortal, Lenin finally remembered his intention, and he said with a smile: "Comrade Andrei, you want to see me make a fool of yourself!" I don't know anything about shooting. I can't give any guidance to my comrades! Hey, let me see your weapons...... What kind of gun is this? He pointed to the non-mainstream Uzi submachine gun, column
Ning asked like a curious baby.
Li Xiaofeng, who had not learned his lesson, happily introduced: "This is the Uzi submachine gun!" ”
"Uzi?" Lenin was full of doubts. The submachine gun, what a strange weapon, the body of the gun turned out to be all-metal - and the guns he had seen before, except for the pistol, had a beautiful walnut body, "This thing looks so ugly." He thought to himself.
"What are the characteristics of this Uzi submachine gun?" Lenin asked.
Li Xiaofeng picked up an Uzi casually, pulled out the butt with a bang, and introduced it in detail: "The butt of the Uzi submachine gun is less than 19 inches long when folded, and the butt is only a little more than 25 inches when the butt is pulled, and the empty gun weighs 3.7 kilograms, which is very suitable for concealment." ”
Lenin looked at it and said: "Very compact indeed! ”
Li Xiaofeng naturally saw Lenin's disapproval, but he still introduced it one by one: "It's not just compact, the safety of this submachine gun is very perfect, you see the ...... here" He pointed to the protruding square behind the grip: "This is the grip safety, only by pressing it down and opening the safety can the trigger be pulled." If you accidentally fall when using, the insurance will automatically return to the position, and there will be absolutely no danger of misfire! ”
Lenin still disagreed, although this insurance was new, but the gunsmith Browning had already used it on the M1911 semi-automatic pistol. Although he didn't know much about weapons, he still didn't think there was anything to marvel about the Uzi.
Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and suddenly raised his voice: "The most important thing is that the Uzi submachine gun can fire 550 to 600 rounds per minute, and the firepower is very powerful!" ”
As he spoke, Li Xiaofeng took a 30-round magazine and inserted it, loaded it against his shoulder, aimed at a target 50 meters away, and pulled the trigger. Suddenly, tongues of fire flickered, and fierce gunfire rang out—but only after a moment it stopped. However, in this brief moment, all thirty rounds in the magazine had erupted from the muzzle.
"Comrade Lenin, what do you think?" Li Xiaofeng asked triumphantly.
"It's amazing!" Lenin was excited, and couldn't wait to snatch the Uzi submachine gun in Li Xiaofeng's hand, and kept playing up and down, as if a naughty child saw his beloved toy. …,
Li Xiaofeng was not surprised at all by Lenin's gaffe, in this era when the revolving and pulling rifle was dominant, and Makqin still belonged to the era of mass killing. A weapon that weighs less than four kilograms, but shoots hundreds of rounds per minute, is a sweeper on the battlefield. No one would dare to confront such a weapon unless he didn't mind being beaten into a sieve at all.
Especially for the Bolsheviks, who were weak in armed strength, submachine guns could greatly increase their firepower, and it should be known that the army of Tsarist Russia could not even make a single man, and the combined firepower of several submachine guns could easily repel a company. Such a huge advantage, columns
How could Ning not pay attention?
"I love this weapon. Uzi submachine gun, I love it! "Lenin is finally back to normal...... Of course, it is also possible to become more abnormal:" Comrade Andrei...... Uh, I'd like to know, how many of these weapons can you provide? ”
Now, Lenin was anxious to issue all party members an Uzi at once, believing that neither the Guards nor the Cossacks could stop his revolutionary cause under such overwhelming firepower.
Seeing that Lenin was seriously ablaze, Li Xiaofeng knew that he had once again hit himself in the foot with a stone, and the walkie-talkie just now was enough for him to drink a pot, plus the Uzi submachine gun. Well, think of the hundreds of thousands of troops who responded to the uprising in the October Revolution, and his legs involuntarily began to tremble.
After a long time, a poor worm trembled under Lenin's forced gaze and replied: "The production process of the Uzi submachine gun is quite different from today's weapons, and it requires a large number of stamping techniques, but this technique has not yet been completely passed." I'm afraid it's impossible to mass produce in a hurry! ”
Li Xiaofeng carefully looked at Lenin's face, and found that the mentor seemed to be turning from sunny to cloudy, and quickly explained: "In fact, this batch of Uzi submachine guns is a test sample. If it weren't for the unarmed comrades, I wouldn't have taken it out...... Well, I think after a year or two of technical research, all the problems should be solved. At that time, the production cost of the Uzi submachine gun will be greatly reduced, and the production efficiency will be greatly improved! ”
