In mid-September, an international arms exhibition will be held in Qingdao, and many well-known arms enterprises at home and abroad will come to participate in the exhibition with their proud works. Zhao Jian had the intention of making his own sign at this conference, and officially rose from a lowly arms dealer to an arms dealer.

For this reason, he booked a booth early and carefully prepared a few "good things" that he could get his hands on.

Three months ago, Zhao's arsenal officially began production, and the first mass production was a bolt-action rifle and matching ammunition simplified from the German Mauser 98K, which was mainly used to supply the guerrillas fighting in Ethiopia and equip their Restoration Army.

While producing these low-end products, they did not stop the research and development of high-end goods, and the other two pieces of the "three artifacts" were copied out one after another during this year.

The only thing that makes Zhao Jian a little regretful is that the patent of the rocket has now been transferred to the name of the head office North Industry, and the relevant small factory on his side has also stopped, otherwise he can let the "three artifacts" compete on the same stage!

The reason why the patent of the rocket was transferred was mainly because after the Italian side occupied Ethiopia, they had learned through the prisoners of war and the surrendered nobles that the rockets that had given them heavy damage were provided by some Orientals, and these people were very likely to take away the crown prince Asfa, so they asked the Tang Dynasty to pursue these smugglers.

At this time, NORINCO took the initiative to stand up for Zhao Jian and put down this "black cauldron", but as a price they had to buy the patent for rocket artillery. Fortunately, the other party did not take it in vain, they signed a contract with Zhao Jian, giving him 10% of the net profit after the rocket was put into production in the next 40 years. Zhao Jian calculated the account and found that he did not lose money in this transaction, because the production capacity of North Industry was much larger than that of his small factory, and it was easy to sit on the ground and share the money, so he agreed.

By the way, Zhao Jian had just completed the improvement before transferring the rocket, all thanks to the few Maozi scientists who he "risked death" to turn back from Saturn.

Entrusted by Dai Li, Zhao Jian went to the territory of the Soviets on Saturn, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived there, the Soviet secret services came one after another. With Lao Maozi's urine nature, they don't care whether you are from the Tang Dynasty or not, anyone who dares to dig into his corner will collapse first and then be judged. Fortunately, Zhao Jian noticed it early, and slipped away with the three scientists he had arrived before the other party started to act, otherwise he and his subordinates would not want to leave the frozen soil alive.

Of the three scientists he brought back, one was researching rockets, the other was engaged in materials, and the other was a graduate student. The three of them are not historical celebrities, but they are not without scum without real talents. After returning to China, these people lived on Zhao Jian's side for half a year. Zhao Jian was able to eat and drink well, and the three of them reciprocated the favor and helped solve a lot of technical problems.

In addition to the improvement of the rockets, they also assisted in the development of the assault rifle (AK47) and the individual rocket launcher (RPG7). During this period, the Wang brothers also learned a lot and benefited a lot.

Outside the arsenal on the outskirts of Qingdao, Zhao Jian held a brand-new assault rifle and fired at more than a dozen steel targets 200 meters away, sometimes firing and sometimes strafing, so that the crisp sound of gunfire was endless. He and his subordinates had already used this gun to shoot more than 30 magazines, thousands of bullets came out, and the rifle had not even jammed once, which made Zhao Jian feel very satisfied.

"Did the limit test be done? How many rounds does the barrel have a real life? ”

"About 8,000~10,000 rounds, if you can use a more high-grade material to make the barrel, it should be better."

"Then change it well, the military attaches great importance to the service life. This gun is good, but this gun is too weird, and people's guns are all 'da-da-da', why are we 'popping'? ”

"Uh...... This probably has something to do with the fact that the ingredients of smokeless gunpowder we use are different, right? ”

"Forget it, it's all a minor issue. This gunshot may become its signature feature in the future! ”

In this exhibition, there are no restrictions on the weapons on display, from small pistol bullets to large armored machine units and even battleships. In addition to assault rifles and individual rocket launchers, there are also small parts such as tactical vests and legging holsters, and the design is very fashionable.

At this time, the vast majority of senior generals in the world of the world, including the army of the Tang Dynasty, experienced the relationship between the first world war and the world, so their tactical thinking also stayed at the level of the first World War, and preferred to engage in positional warfare of large corps. This static war of attrition requires the rifle to be fired long enough, and the battle for position is the world of submachine guns.

In this environment of mainstream thinking, the rifle requires a long shot, the effective range is 600 meters away, and the distance of the ruler is not lower than 1500. Because of the use of pistol cartridges, the range of the submachine gun is generally not more than 150, and it cannot form an effective suppression of longer distances, so there is a gap of 150~400 meters in the effective range, which is currently in charge of the light machine gun for the time being.

Judging from the data, the assault rifle they made by Zhao Jian has a total length of 875mm, weighs 4.5 kg, uses a 30-round arc-shaped magazine, and has a theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. Because the bullet uses a short cartridge intermediate power bullet and the barrel length is only 415mm, the accuracy is low, and the effective range is only 400 meters.

That is to say, it is inferior to bolt-action rifles in terms of accuracy, submachine guns in terms of lightness, and machine guns in terms of suppressive ability. But if you look at it from another angle, it is faster than bolt-action rifles, farther than submachine guns, lighter than machine guns, and the balanced characteristics of the mean allow assault rifles to be competent for all jobs at the same time, and the uniform ammunition caliber is also a kind of decompression for logistics.

I'm not afraid to compare goods, I'm afraid of not knowing the goods!

Zhao Jian believes that when the exhibition begins, there will definitely be people who will look at this gun from its shortcomings and think that it is useless, but there will definitely be smart people who will find its advantages. Anyway, this gun has been determined by the Datang Army to be purchased in small quantities for trial, and the individual bazooka has been confirmed to be installed in large quantities in the next three years.

The production of these weapons is currently being handed over to NORINCO, and Zhao Jian has indeed received the first dividend from the other party. And what he has to do now is to use these weapons to make a "brand effect" at the exhibition. Of course! It would be better if we could win some foreign orders.

Zhao Jian doesn't plan to give up the smuggling business, but he doesn't want to live in the shadows all the time, anyway, he is now completely accustomed to the "multiple identities", and he can make Zhao Jian's real identity glamorous, and he can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family!

PS: The mock exam of the training institution has been successfully passed, and there should be no problem with the official exam in July, anyway, there is still plenty of time. In addition, I currently owe 12 more, try to start tomorrow three more a day!
