Chapter 177: Gunsmith

The man, Ludwig Folger, stood up and put on his glasses, with an indescribable literati temperament.

Fang Lang felt that the person in front of him should at least be a university professor.

Because of this calm and unhurried bearing, and the bookish aura emanating from the whole body.

You can ignore his diminutive stature and glasses that are as thick as the bottom of a bottle.

At this moment, Fang Lang had a kind of enlightenment, and finally understood the meaning of an ancient Chinese saying: "There is poetry and writing in the belly".

What Fang Lang didn't expect was that this Mr. Folger said directly in Chinese after hearing his name:

"I'm glad to meet you, too. Mr. Fang! You're from Huaxia, aren't you?"

Although the accent sounded very strange, Fang Lang could still hear it very clearly, and the other party was speaking Chinese.

The waves below can be described as shocking.

"Yes, Mr. Folger, I'm a Chinese-Brazilian, to be exact. I didn't expect you to be able to speak Chinese.

It seems that you are indeed a very knowledgeable person.

You've just said you're looking for a buyer for your research.

I wonder if I can tell us more about it?"

Fang Lang pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned for the other party to sit down.

I don't know if I was praised for my knowledge, and remembered the scoundrel behavior of lying in front of the car, and Mr. Faulger, who had always looked very temperamental, actually blushed a little.

However, he quickly adjusted and sat on the sofa beside Fang Lang very naturally.

I opened the file bag that I had been holding in my hand, and pulled out a thick pile of materials and placed it on the small table in the middle of the sofa.

Sideways to Fang Langdao:

"I'm a firearms designer at the Mauser factory, and this is a new assault rifle that I improved on my original design of the STG45.

I named him the Sethmai Rifle, and I wonder if I'd be interested in learning about it!"

When Mr. Folger said that he was a firearms designer, Fang Lang's eyes were already glowing.

Unexpectedly, he designed an assault rifle.

This is the main equipment to replace the traditional rifle after World War II!

His eyes involuntarily looked at the pile of information on the small coffee table.

"Oh! I didn't expect you to be a firearms designer, I wonder what models of guns you have designed?"

His mouth casually asked Mr. Folger, and his hand reached for the pile of information.

This is why Fang Lang was indeed a little lonely in his previous life, and he only heard that Mr. Folger was a firearms designer.

But I haven't heard of the name of STG45, and I must not know the name of STG44.

&44 should be regarded as the earliest assault rifle, but the concept of assault rifle was not clear at the beginning.

The rifle was reported as a machine gun, but when the mustache saw the machine gun with a range of only 500 meters, he was directly denied.

Although the mustache does not understand the excellence of the STG44, there are still some people of insight in the army.

They boldly changed the number of STG44 to MP44.

It appeared on the battlefield as a submachine gun and was well received by the soldiers on the battlefield.

Later, after learning what the fighters were saying about him, the mustache officially named him the STG44 Tempest-style rifle.

His identity as a rifle was officially confirmed.

The STG45 was the assault rifle that Germany planned to use to replace the STG44 in the later stages of the war.

He and STG44 use the same 7.9233 short round, which is versatile in ammunition.

However, the SG45 reduced the rate of fire to only 350 to 450 rounds per minute, saving ammunition and improving accuracy.

The &44 uses a long-stroke piston plus bolt offset latching, while the SG45 uses the roller delayed recoil principle.

There is still a certain working principle

Distinct.

The roller delayed recoil technology adopted by the &45 was widely adopted by the CETMEL assault rifle, automatic rifle, HKG3 automatic rifle and MP5 submachine gun.

And this Mr. Folger is the designer of the STG45 and later the G3 automatic rifle of HK Company, and the Zeitmai rifle in Fang Lang's hand is actually the G3 rifle.

After hearing Fang Lang's question, Mr. Folger glanced at the people around him a little nervously, but still gritted his teeth and said:

"The MG42 general-purpose machine gun was also designed based on my bolt locking principle."

Fang Lang, who was looking down at the rifle on the drawing in his hand, felt a little familiar, and after hearing the name of the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, he instantly raised his head and looked at Mr. Folger with a shocked face.

Even if Fang Lang was a layman in his previous life, he had heard of the top name of MG42!

This thing is a big killer called the "Mustache Chainsaw"!

The sound of a cloth tearing through its firing was a nightmare for the Allied soldiers.

"What? Are you the designer of MG42?"

"No, no, I just designed how the MG42 works, and it was Dr. Grunov who really shaped the MG42, and the metal stamping process he used was the reason for the success of the MG42."

Folger waved his hand again and again very modestly.

This is also true, MG42 is indeed the work of Dr. Grunov.

But Dr. Grunov was not a firearms designer, he was an expert in metal stamping technology, and believed that the use of metal stamping technology for machine guns was an inevitable trend.

The MG42 produced by the metal stamping process not only saves material and man-hours, but is also more compact, which is very practical for Germany, which is short of metal resources.

It also makes MG42 stand out among the bidders.

Fang Lang's mood at the moment was simply like a big pie falling from the sky, and it didn't fall on his head.

Instead, it was shoved into his mouth.

This is the designer of MG42!

In an instant, the weight of this pile of materials in his hand became completely different.

Fang Lang began to carefully study the rifle in his hand, which was called Seitmai, and the more he looked at Fang Lang, the brighter his eyes became, because he finally recognized the identity of this rifle.

I still remember that once when I was watching a video, when I introduced the most famous German weapons company, HK Company, I saw this rifle in it.

It's just that at that time he was not called a Seitmai rifle, but a G3 rifle.

This is the same type of gun as the three heroes of the assault rifle!

Later, the HK company relied on this rifle to become a world-famous arms company.

Maybe some people have not heard of the G3 rifle, but the submachine gun developed on the basis of the G3 rifle, the MP5, should be no one who has not heard of it.

This is a submachine gun that the world's major special forces are vying to equip!

After recognizing the identity of the weapon in his hand, Fang Lang had already decided that it was impossible for him to let go of this person in front of him.

"Mr. Folger, I wonder how you want to sell this piece of yours?"

"Mr. Fang, can you read my information? Do you need me to explain it to you?"

Mr. Folger is obviously an academic talent, for fear that Fang Lang just glanced at the information a few times, and did not know the specific design ideas inside.

What he didn't know was that Fang Lang had already decided to take him for himself the first time he recognized this rifle.

"No, Mr. Folger. I'm also a soldier, and I can tell the difference between good and bad weapons.

I don't know if I can tell why you would want to sell this design?"

Fang Lang looked at the baby bump in front of him with burning eyes.

"Make Mr. Folger a cup of coffee."

By the way, he ordered Zhuang Xintian Road, who was standing aside.

One of the fighters was ordered to leave.

Regarding Fang Lang's question, Folge looked a little embarrassed.

It took a long time to say:

"I need money, I have a family to support, and I haven't had a job for more than half a year.

If I could, I would like to find a job abroad.

It all takes money."

The historical Ludwig Folger did travel to Spain several times after the war.

Later, the rifle named Seitmai was manufactured at the Special Materials Technology Research Center in Spain, and in 1952, this rifle attracted the attention of the United States.

In 1954, it was changed to firing standard gun cartridges, which were re-introduced by Germany and commissioned by HK Company to manufacture.

"Mr. Folger, I have a military-industrial complex in Brazil, and there is a shortage of a good gunsmith like you.

If you want to leave Germany for development, I would like to hire you as the chief designer of the small arms research laboratory with a high salary.

I don't know if you want to.

Of course, whether you want to or not, I will pay for this research at an additional cost.

You can quote directly now, I won't counteract."

Folger had obviously never met such an arrogant lord, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He was a firearms designer, not a businessman, and he didn't know how much he should pay for his weapon.

Fang Lang quickly saw his embarrassment.

Speak directly:

"If you are willing to work for my company, the benefits will be doubled from your original one.

All the results of the research will give you a certain percentage of the patent according to the sales situation.

As long as you nod your head, today I can start calculating your salary.

As for the design, you have two options, one is that I will buy it out, and the other is that I will pay you a certain percentage of the patent share for each one produced.

But in the second way, you have to join my company."

At this time, Folge was obviously a little moved, and looked at Fang Lang nervously:

"I've heard that there are a lot of Germans in Brazil, right?"

"That's right, I came to Germany this time to find some good technical talent.

There will be a lot of Germans going to Brazil to work together, and you don't have to worry about not having friends.

If you have your own team and they're willing to go with you, I can recruit them too."

Hearing Faulge's question, Fang Lang understood that Faulge's concern was the same as that of all people who go to work in a foreign land, worrying that he would not be familiar with life.

Therefore, I directly informed myself of the purpose of coming this time.

And let Folger invite some other colleagues to go, Fang Lang believes that excellent people will be excellent people around them.

In this way, you can recruit excellent gunsmiths without much effort.

You must know that the famous Mauser factory is located in Baden-Württemberg, and according to Fang Lang's plan, he went to the Mauser factory to dig people after dealing with the affairs in Stuttgart.

Now it seems that there is no need, and the best talents have automatically jumped into their own bowls.

What more bikes?

"Mr. Fang, is it really possible?

How many firearms designers do you want to recruit, I have a lot of colleagues who are looking for jobs right now, and I'd be willing to go with you if you can recruit together."

"I'm just starting to build my factory, and if I could, I'd certainly like to have a full range of small arms designers to help me refine my design for all types of weapons.

It is my goal to have a full range of weapons with independent intellectual property rights.

Therefore, I need good firearms designers with a real sense of innovation."
