Episode 154 Big
Xiang Xiaoqiang offered a huge reward, saying that Wu Yanbin only needed to use a submachine gun to hit 8 rings in 150 meters, which could shock several people present. 10,000 Mingyang, this money can now buy a three- or four-story villa in Nanjing, and it is still a good location, and it is also the market after the land price in Nanjing skyrocketed after reunification. If it is placed in a small county with low consumption, 10,000 Mingyang is enough for a small family to eat for a lifetime.
Qi Shunfa's representative widened his eyes, looked at the legendary richest general in the Ming Dynasty, and secretly sighed that he really lived up to his reputation. And Wang Hexiang was also quite surprised. He knew that Xiang Xiaoqiang wanted Wu Yanbin to use a submachine gun to shoot targets again, and there was a comparison with the good results of the automatic rifle, and he was afraid that Wu Yanbin would do what he liked and deliberately use the submachine gun to shoot badly, so as to show how accurate the automatic rifle was, so he offered a bounty to stimulate Wu Yanbin to use all his skills to fight.
However, Wang Hexiang knew that even if Xiang Xiaoqiang was a marquis with an annuity of 500,000, throwing out 10,000 rewards this time would be too big. But after thinking about it, he understood: at a distance of 150 meters, if you want to hit 8 rings with a single shot of a submachine gun, the gods can't. Xiang Xiaoqiang is just pretending to be pompous.
Xiang Xiaoqiang really meant this, afraid that Wu Yanbin would deliberately beat the results of the submachine gun in order to please himself, so as to set off the accuracy of the automatic rifle. If you change to an ordinary guard, there is no need for Xiang Xiaoqiang to offer the sky-high price of 10,000 Mingyang, and a reward of 1200 Mingyang is a lot of money for ordinary soldiers. But when Xiang Xiaoqiang was stationed in Beijing at that time, he had embezzled a box of 30 million US dollars in bonds, and at that time, in order to win over the people around him, he promised to give Wu Yanbin and Hu Jiong 3 million Mingyang. Although Wu Yanbin has not yet received the money, he is also a "rich man". If you don't open a number of tens of thousands of oceans, you can't stimulate him at all.
Sure enough, Wu Yanbin's face turned red with excitement. This Wan Mingyang had a strong stimulation for him. He said yes loudly, then took the submachine gun, examined it carefully, and carefully fine-tuned the aiming system, and then crawled on the mat, squinting his eyes, aiming at the target in the distance.
He took a deep breath for a long time, until he was sure that he was in a completely stable state, and then gently pulled the trigger.
"Smack!! …… Syllable!!! …… Syllable!!! ……”
When Wu Yanbin was fighting, Xiang Xiaoqiang used a telescope to observe the target in the distance, and with the sound of gunfire in his ears, he gradually smiled. It seems that his 10,000 Mingyang has been saved. And it confirms how accurate this automatic rifle is compared to submachine guns.
Wu Yanbin steadily fired thirty single shots, and finished all the bullets in the magazine. Then he lay there, stared blankly at the target for a moment, and then took off the empty magazine.
A soldier next to him handed him another full magazine, but Wu Yanbin sighed, waved his hand, and pushed it away. He stood up, put the submachine gun on the table, and said with a sad face:
"Your Excellency...... Subordinates are incompetent. This is really not an ordinary hard fight, even if I were asked to shoot ten more magazines, I would not be able to hit a single eight ring. ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and patted him on the shoulder:
"Well done, Yan Bin. You're playing well. No one is a god. Hit 8 rings with a submachine gun at 150 meters, this requirement is really outrageous. ”
Then he pressed the button, picked up the microphone, and listened to the target.
Sure enough, submachine guns and automatic rifles really can't be compared. The best result this time is just the four rings.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very satisfied, and Wu Yanbin was very frustrated.
Xiang Xiaoqiang certainly noticed Wu Yanbin's depressed mood. Anyone who watches a sum of money equivalent to one-third of their net worth slip away will be very frustrated. Xiang Xiaoqiang decided to surprise Wu Yanbin after he went back.
Xiang Xiaoqiang only remembered at this time and asked, what is the name of this gun. Of course, Qi Shunfa's person said that he didn't have a name yet, so please give one to the adult. Xiang Xiaoqiang had already thought of a name before, and said with a smile:
"Your company's name is Qi Shunfa, so let's take the first letter f of the last word 'hair'. In addition, it is already October 37, almost November, and it is too late to assemble troops in large numbers this year, so we have to wait until next year, that is, 38 years. Let's call it the 'F-38 Automatic Rifle'! ”
Qi Shunfa's representative was happy, took a deep look, and thanked:
"Thank you, sir!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang continued:
"As for the order...... The old rule is that the People's Guard will try it first. The detailed number of the first batch of orders will be let by Lord Wang after we study it. Anyway, there will be no less than 100,000 pieces. As for the future...... If it is used well, then it will be fully equipped with the Ming army. At that time, I am afraid it will not be a matter of hundreds of thousands. ”
Qi Shunfa's representative jumped wildly in his chest, and he took a deep squeeze, pressed his excitement, and said with a smile:
"The villain represents Qi Shunfa Company, thank you for your appreciation!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded and said with a smile:
"How about it, now mass produce a batch, no problem, right?"
"No problem, no problem! As long as the contract is signed, the adult commands, and the company's equipment will be started immediately! Within a month, there is no problem in producing 50,000 pieces! ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very satisfied. He calculated that 50,000 should be enough to arm the entire People's Guard. This "armament" was not one for each person, but for the replacement of submachine guns with automatic rifles. In other words, all the soldiers who used to use submachine guns have now switched to automatic rifles. Hand rifles do not change. Let's test it on the battlefield with the People's Guard first. If it can really meet the standard of Xiang Xiaoqiang's ideal "automatic rifle", then he is ready to replace the manual rifle with an automatic rifle. Except for the sniper rifle, none of the other manual rifles remained, and the whole army was truly converted into an automatic rifle.
Previously, the Ming army also had a great advantage in weapons over the enemy, but it was mainly reflected in heavy weapons: aircraft, tanks, and artillery. Therefore, the Ming army always likes to fight some "quick battles" such as "big breakthrough", "big depth", "long drive straight in", "destroying withering and decaying". In this way, with the advantage of heavy weapons, the enemy army can be dealt with quickly and peacefully, and avoid falling into a bad battle. To exaggerate, it is to try to fight "non-contact war".
But the battlefield will not always develop according to the expectations of the Ming army. The Ming army will also often fall into "hand-to-hand" battles, such as encountering enemy troops who desperately resist with perfect fortifications, such as falling into urban street battles, such as losing air superiority in bad weather, and so on. At this time, the Ming army's advantage in heavy weapons was not very well played, and although light weapons were also superior to the enemy, they were not so disparity after all. The submachine guns of the Ming army were always in a firefight within a few tens of meters, so that they could obviously take advantage. Although the general-purpose machine gun is very powerful, it is not a single weapon after all, and it cannot be done for each person. In such battles, the casualties of the Ming army will always rise significantly. And the number of heavy casualties is what the Ming army command is most afraid of seeing.
Now with automatic rifles, the Ming army is enough to be twenty to thirty years ahead of other countries in light weapons. - Of course, this is just to say "generational difference". Once other industrial powers see the benefits of automatic rifles, they may be able to catch up in a few years.
However, it is enough to have a few years. It's enough for the Ming to fight almost the big battles that are going to be fought. On the battlefield, as long as the infantry is not allowed to storm the permanent fortification group, the general hand-to-hand combat, even if there is no advantage of aircraft and tanks, can still play a very beautiful exchange ratio.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the headquarters, found Fourteen Gege, and discussed it with her. Fourteen Gege nodded, and sent Xiao Wu to the Daming Royal Bank to open two safes, each of which was deposited in a suitcase.
In the evening, Xiang Xiaoqiang called Hu Jiong and Wu Yanbin into the office and gave each of them a key and a set of passwords.
"How," he laughed, "do you know what it is?" ”
The two glanced at each other, and slowly, they both realized what this was. After a moment, both of them turned pale at the same time, then turned red again, breathed heavily, and stared at the keys and codes in their hands.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said in his heart: It's okay, neither of them is stupid.
He smiled, glanced at the doorway, and chuckled in a low voice:
"Three million for one person. But once again, I warn you all to keep a low profile. Do you understand? ”
The two of them had hoarse voices and difficulty breathing, but they insisted on trembling and trembling:
"Yes...... Be!!! …… Thank you, sir!! ”
