Chapter 33

"It's nothing." Akado shrugged and said, "to support you is to support the IDF itself! I know that, so you don't have to thank me. " With that, he sat on the sofa and played with the ashtray on the tea table.

On the contrary, Krupp stood up. He had been sitting on the sofa since akkado came into the house: "I, and many arms dealers I know, feel that general sikert is too conservative and far away from the leader of the national defense forces we expect. So we're going to support him as a representative of our arms dealers within the IDF. "

"You chose me?" Akado asked with a smile.

"Yes! We chose you! " Krupp nodded and admitted.

"Now that I have said that, can I make a request?" Akado put down his ashtray and looked up at Krupp.

Krupp was stunned: "what's the requirement?"

Akkado laughed: "I know you have an office in Berlin where you secretly design new weapons. It's full of the best engineers in Krupp factory. Can I visit it?"

"Why? We guarantee you the best weapons in the world. " Krupp asked suspiciously, "you don't have to worry about the quality of these weapons."

"The best?" Akado laughed, as if to hear the world's funniest joke: "they are out of date, all out of date! On behalf of you arms dealers, I have no problem, but on behalf of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the national defense force! I never use the blood of my men! So I'm responsible for the whole of Germany. "

"You know, it's a taboo of weapon design for laymen to tell us what to do. For our Krupp designers, what you know is just like a child." Krupp said contemptuously.

Akado smiles: "let Pediatrics see the real genius." How can he lose to those who are still groping for development? Akkado has this self-confidence. He wants to make friends from all aspects and tie the power represented by Krupp to his chariot.

"All right! Since we want to cooperate, I'll show you the real science and technology! " Krupp reluctantly nodded: "tomorrow morning, I'll take you there myself!"

Early the next morning, akkado found Krupp and went with him to the Krupp factory's secret office in Germany. However, they only talked for more than ten minutes in the office, and those arrogant engineers were completely convinced by akado's erudition.

At this moment, in Krupp's secret weapons design office in Berlin, akado is discussing the design of new weapons with Krupp's elites.

It is worth mentioning that the secret office of this Krupp factory is set up on the top of the German parliament office building. The wives of ministers and celebrities who come in and out every day, even the French and British military officers in Germany, have not found this place. When these Krupp weapon designers entered the building, they even received polite greetings from British officials or French diplomats.

In the room, akado is introducing "his designs". Although most of these designs are from documents that were decrypted in the late 20th century, akado's sketches still make everyone crazy.

"The army needs a kind of weapon, which can fire a single shot accurately at a distance of 400 meters, and can also fire a large amount of ammunition in a short distance and in a short time. This kind of weapon will be distributed to the armored Grenadier troops who accompany the tank troops to attack the enemy and make a sudden attack on the enemy, so I named this weapon" assault rifle "!" Akkado pointed to the drawings and introduced his ideas to Krupp's rifle designers.

He pointed to the twisting design drawings and explained the above things with embarrassment. He had no painting talent in his previous life and this life. He could ask someone to help him with his military uniform design last time. This time it was confidential, so he had to fight in person: "here is the air conducting structure, which can be opened and closed! Here and here can be made of wood! "

"Oh! It's beautiful! This design is perfect A group of designers were deeply attracted by akado's creativity and couldn't help nodding and praising: "this kind of weapon can be produced on a large scale, replacing almost all the existing individual weapons."

After listening to their praise, akado shook his head with some regret and sighed: "because of the tight funding of the military, we only plan to purchase 10000 such rifles for the time being. But believe me, one day, hundreds of thousands of such rifles will be produced, and the armies all over the world will use them!"

"What is this?" Krupp looked through a plan put aside by akkado, on which a strange cannon was sketched in scribble.

Akado pointed to the twisted lines with a smile: "this is a truck! Although it's not very similar, you should be able to imagine what it looks like. It has about eight wheels, two in the front and three in the back. This truck has a gun that can be supported on the ground at the back. The caliber doesn't need to be too large. 155 mm is enough. "

"Krupp can produce guns with larger calibre. If you need them, we can transport them by rail and train. The calibre can exceed 200 mm, the range is longer and the power is greater!" Krupp is proud to introduce the specialty of its factory.

For a long time, the whole Krupp factory has a kind of blind confidence. They have the confidence and technology to make the biggest and best artillery in the world“ Yes, it's more powerful, has a longer range, moves more mechanically, and has more obvious targets. I need a reinforced company to watch every cannon. For this kind of cannon, I need to count three more kinds of shells. " Akado said with some fragmentary thoughts. Krupp looked at akkado, frowned and asked, "more powerful, longer range, isn't it the performance of artillery?" Akkado looked at Krupp with a smile, then looked around at some gun design experts who were staring at him, and said, "of course! Range and power are two very important indexes, but they are not all indexes of an excellent gun! " He held out his fingers one by one: "range! Very important! Power! Also very important, the mobility of artillery! More important! The simplicity of logistics supply is also important! All these should be considered clearly by designers and users! " He looked at the designers: "if you simply pursue some unnecessary performance and make other disadvantages more prominent, then this is a failed design!"“ As like as two peas, we can imagine that if our guns are all calibre, then our car can only use one length, and it will not waste any space. If the truck length is fixed, the size of the train wagon is fixed, so how simple is our worker training to maintain these identical configurations? Our personnel training is simple, so the speed of repairing the fault is also improved! So more cannons will be made and transported to the front line, OK? Is it terrible? " In the presence of Krupp and a group of senior engineers, akado threw out the theory of large-scale assembly line production of later generations“ My God Krupp looked at akkado in surprise, some did not believe his ears: "do you know what you said? What you just said is worth at least $100 million. You are a genius“ Therefore, I have made it clear for the national defense forces that large caliber guns should not exceed 283mm, and it is better that the shells can be used with naval naval gun caliber. " Akado said, pointing to the plan“ No problem! " Krupp agreed“ The artillery unit of the army group army has an artillery caliber of 203 mm, which is also required to be as common as the naval gun as possible. " Akado continued“ Yes Krupp still nodded“ The caliber of Army basic support artillery is 150 mm. It's in common use with naval medium caliber shells. " Akado continued. Krupp had no objection: "I agreed!" Akado took a look at the engineers around him: "the caliber of tank gun and antiaircraft gun is 88mm and 75mm." Krupp even stopped talking and nodded“ The caliber of anti tank gun and division artillery are 88mm and 75mm respectively. You can choose according to your requirements. " Akado continued. Krupp pointed to one of the engineers: "you record it, record it all! What akado said is what I said! "“ We'd better wait for the technical experts of the national defense forces to come and discuss the caliber of the machine gun together! " Akado was a little embarrassed“ What is this? " Krupp pointed to a drawing and asked again. Akado took a look at the drawing and blushed at his painting skills, but explained to Krupp, "I've sketched the inside of the tank. I need our tank to look like this."“ What's the slash? The steel plate at the front? " Krupp more or less understood and asked with a frown. Akkado nodded, a little bit met the bosom friend general gratitude: "yes! In the front, the structure is inclined, so that the other side's shells will bounce away because of the angle when they hit. "“ Really? " A technician at Krupp factory, who has studied Ballistics for 25 years, is an expert in this field. Akado nodded: "the national defense forces have done experiments, and they are completely effective on bullets!" It has effect on bullets, that is to say, it also has effect on armor piercing bullets! Because the trajectory and energy release mode of the two kinds of ammunition are exactly the same“ Why do tanks need diesel engines? Isn't a gasoline engine more stable and more comfortable? " Krupp asked, puzzled. Akado patiently explained: "diesel engine is more fuel-efficient, although it is more noisy and clumsy. But it's not easy to catch fire when you're hit! " God knows that akado combined the advantages of the T-34 tank born in later generations with the advantages of the German tank to draw this sketch. This kind of tank is absolutely an epoch-making Super Tank with light weight, more reliability and more amazing power“ I have to say it again, Colonel arcado, you are a genius Krupp sighed: "if you are a weapon designer, I will invite you to Krupp! It's worth as much as it costs! "
