Chapter 199 Assault rifle released in advance (Part 1)
Faced with the Chief Engineer's doubts and disdain, even the clay figure was a little angry. Sokov looked into the Chief Engineer's eyes and repeated what he just said again without being humble or condescending: "Comrade Chief Engineer, without investigation, you have no right to speak.
Without even looking at my drawings, how do you know that the rifle I designed is not suitable for use in the army?"
"Comrade Commander," seeing Sokov showing signs of going berserk, the chief engineer's face showed an embarrassed expression, but he still said bravely: "The design of weapons is not based on impulse.
It is a very rigorous job. Without relevant knowledge reserves and years of practical experience, it is almost impossible to design a gun suitable for use by the troops. I may be too direct, but this is all true. I
You'd better take back your design." After saying that, he planned to return the drawing in his hand to Sokov.
Sokov did not accept the drawing handed back by the chief engineer, but put his hands behind his back and continued: "Comrade chief engineer, I implore you to take a look at this drawing. If you still insist on your original plan after reading it,
From my point of view, I have nothing to say. But it would be a bit too hasty to make casual conclusions without even drawings."
Nikolayevich had seen the drawings, and he was very interested in the firearms drawn on them. So as soon as Sokov finished speaking, he immediately spoke up and said: "Dear Yevgeny Vasilyevich,
I suggest you take a look at this drawing. At least, after reading the drawing, I feel that this is exactly the new rifle we need to develop."
When the chief engineer heard that the factory director was saying good things about this new rifle, he felt that if he didn't take a look at the drawings, everyone would be unable to step down, so he took out his reading glasses from his jacket pocket, put them on, and put the drawings together.
He looked carefully in front of him. At first, he had a contemptuous expression on his face, but as he looked, his expression became serious.
After he finished reading the drawings, he looked up at Sokov and asked: "Comrade Commander, what caliber of bullets do you plan to use for this new rifle? Why is it not marked on the drawing?"
When Sokov was drawing yesterday, he intentionally omitted the data of bullets and magazines. The purpose of doing this was to confirm whether the person looking at the picture was really looking at the picture seriously or was just perfunctory. At this moment, I heard that the general
When the worker asked this key question, he knew that his drawings had impressed the other party.
However, Sokov did not immediately answer the chief engineer's question. Instead, he asked: "Comrade chief engineer, before I answer your question, can you tell me first, what do you think of this new rifle I designed?"
"How should I put it?" The chief engineer took off his reading glasses, stuffed them into his jacket pocket, and said thoughtfully: "Judging from the drawings you drew, this is a pretty good rifle. If it is manufactured like this
If the gun can successfully pass various tests, I believe it will be deployed in the army in the shortest possible time."
Seeing that the chief engineer approved his design, Sokov said: "Comrade chief engineer, for this new rifle, I plan to use a 7.62mm caliber, fire 7.62×39mm intermediate-power bullets, and use a 30-round capacity bullet.
The curved magazine feeds ammunition.”
After listening to Sokov's words, the chief engineer turned to look at the factory director behind the desk and asked: "Nikolaevich, have you heard of intermediate-power bullets?"
Nikolayevich shook his head and said, "Never heard of it?"
After receiving Nikolayevich's reply, the chief engineer once again faced Sokov and asked: "Comrade commander, I would like to ask, where did you hear about the intermediate-power bullet?"
Fortunately, before traveling through time, Sokov read a book introducing intermediate-power bullets, so when he heard the chief engineer's question, he casually said: "I once read in a book that my country's famous firearms expert Fedorov believed that the 7.62×54mm M1891 ammunition standard in our army was too powerful as ammunition for automatic rifles, so he developed a 6.5×50.5mm automatic rifle in 1916 and defined a new one for it. The name of the gun - automatic gun.
Fedorov personally supervised the work at the arsenal, produced a small batch of M1916 automatic guns, and distributed them to a strictly selected company of officers and soldiers of the 189th Infantry Regiment for trial use during frontline operations. I remember him doing this
When automatic guns were equipped with troops, it was once said that individual weapons in the future may evolve into two types of firearms. One is a submachine gun and a light carbine combined into one, using new bullets; the other is a light automatic rifle, which should
Use more powerful bullets..."
After the chief engineer waited for Sokov to finish speaking, he sighed and said: "Comrade Commander, not many people know Fedorov now. Let alone ordinary people, even people in the military industry know Fedorov."
The number of people is also very limited, let alone the intermediate-power bullets he proposed back then."
After a pause, he then asked: "So, have you read Fedorov's book?"
Sokov knew that Fedorov had published two books, and he happened to know the names of these two books, so he said shamelessly: "Yes, Comrade Chief Engineer, I have read "Automatic Weapons" and "Automatic Weapons" written by him.
"The Evolution of Small Arms" Two Books."
"These two books are good." The chief engineer waited for Sokov to finish and then continued: "If you want to become a qualified weapons designer, these two books are must-read reference books."
Seeing that the chief engineer agreed with the drawings of the new rifle, not only Sokov felt relieved, but the factory director was also relieved. He was deeply afraid that his chief engineer would be stubborn and deny this good new rifle.
He stood up and asked: "Yevgeny Vasilyevich, according to this drawing, how many days will it take to make a prototype gun?"
The chief engineer looked at the drawings in his hand and replied: "If we just make a prototype gun, it can be completed before dawn. But the intermediate-power bullets mentioned by Comrade Major are relatively more troublesome, and it will take half a month at the fastest.
Only then can it be produced.”
"No, half a month is too long." Nikolayevich shook his head and said, "The two commanders can only stay here for a few days. They can't wait that long. I'll give you two days."
, we must produce intermediate-power bullets, even if we only make a hundred rounds, so that we can try the power of this new rifle."
The chief engineer carefully folded the drawings and put them into his coat pocket, turned around and walked outside. But when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, turned back and walked back to Sokov, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
Friendly said: "Comrade Major, let's get to know each other formally. I am Yevgeny Vasilyevich Bazarov, the chief engineer of the machinery plant."
Seeing that his "design" was approved by the chief engineer, Sokov quickly reached out to hold the other person's hand, shook it twice, and said with a smile: "My name is Mikhail Mikhailnovitch Soko
My husband is a major in the field army."
Chief Engineer Bazarov obviously had a good impression. He held the other person's hand tightly and refused to let go. He promised: "Comrade Major, I will immediately arrange for someone to redraw your drawings, and then
Then proceed to assemble the sample gun. If everything goes well, you will be able to see the sample gun at the same time tomorrow."
