"Of course, no problem!" Androvich immediately cheered up and asked: "What is the transaction?"
Wang Xuexin did not answer directly, but fiddled with the carbine, unloaded its magazine, took out a bullet and sent it to Androvich, asking: "Can you see anything?"
As the saying goes, you should first look at the bullet before you look at the gun. The performance of a gun largely depends on the bullet rather than the gun.
The reason is that the bullet's charge, caliber, etc. basically determine the ceiling of various data, such as range, power, etc. The gun is just a launching platform.
Wang Xuexin was a little worried that Androvich would not understand. After all, Androvich was a tank soldier, so it was not surprising that he had no research on light weapons.
However, Wang Xuexin soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary. As a veteran who grew up in World War I, Androvich just looked down on light weapons, which did not mean that he had never used light weapons... During World War I, the Soviet Union did not have tanks. Androvich
Rovich was a cavalryman before becoming a tank soldier, and of course he used pistols, rifles, carbines, etc.
(Note: Carbine can be translated as carbine and lance. It is a lighter, shorter and more suitable rifle designed for cavalry)
Having had such actual combat experience, of course it is impossible to know anything about guns and bullets.
In fact, Androvich is half an expert in this field.
Therefore, Androvich picked up the bullet, looked at it, shook his head with a hint of disdain, put the bullet back on the table, and said: "Perhaps this kind of gun can only be used for suicide?"
No wonder Androvich said this. The M1 carbine has a round warhead and a small charge, which determines that its range and power are insufficient. Experienced people will know at a glance that it is better than a pistol.
This is indeed the case. On the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, although this gun had a range of more than two hundred meters, due to the cold weather in North Korea and the enemy's clothing, it was often unable to kill the target even if it hit a target 150 meters away... It was not even effective at this distance.
Breaking through the cotton-padded clothes of the volunteers.
But these are not what Wang Xuexin cares about, and what he wants is not the M1 carbine, otherwise he would just make a deal with Yingjiang directly.
"That's not what I want to say, Androvich!" Wang Xuexin continued: "I don't know if you realize that our infantry needs a kind of equipment. To be precise, you need to develop a brand new bullet. This kind of bullet
As you can see..."
As he spoke, Wang Xuexin picked up the bullet and waved it in front of Androvich, saying: "Its power is between rifle bullets and pistol bullets. The range is controlled at about 500 meters, but it has the sustained firepower of a submachine gun..."
Androvich's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.
Although Androvich is not a R&D person, as a veteran he understands what Wang Xuexin is talking about, and it is not difficult to understand:
Although the rifle is powerful, it has a low rate of fire and has poor sustainability. The submachine gun has a high rate of fire and has good sustainability, but its power is too low.
So, why not take an intermediate value between them?
Doesn't the m1 carbine in front of me just take a value between them? It's just that the obtained value is too weak!
Thinking about it, Androvich took the bullet from Wang Xuexin again and said, "You mean, we develop a bullet that is stronger than it?"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin nodded: "Think about it, this kind of gun is feasible, and I already have an idea. If you are willing, I can provide design drawings, including bullets and firearms. My request is...
Provide a bullet production line and a firearms production line to the Eighth Route Army. This is the content of the deal."
Androvich looked at Wang Xuexin in confusion.
At that moment, many questions flashed through Androvich's mind:
The design and development of bullets and firearms is not something ordinary people can do, but the Chinese battalion commander in front of me can provide drawings?
Does this drawing have any reference value?
Even if it is valuable, is it worth a bullet production line or a firearms production line?
Also, does this kind of gun fit the national conditions and battlefield environment of Mao Xiong?
At this time, Mao Xiong's domestic situation is severe. Can Mao Xiong's experts pass the research and development of this kind of bullets and firearms?
If it passes, will the woolly bear expert not need Wang Xuexin and be able to develop it himself in a short time?
…
All of these, as long as there is a problem with one of them, the transaction will not exist.
Therefore, the probability of success in this transaction is almost zero, and most people just give up.
But Androvich found strangely that Wang Xuexin seemed to be full of confidence in this transaction.
Androvich's idea is right. Objectively speaking, there are too many uncertainties in this transaction, and it is not expected to be completed in a short time.
The problem is that Wang Xuexin came to this world with answers... Things that Androvich considered uncertain were all certain in Wang Xuexin's opinion.
For example, does ak47 conform to the national conditions and battlefield environment of Mao Xiong?
Just kidding, this is something developed by Mao Xiong based on its own national conditions and battlefield environment. Can it not be consistent?
Another example is whether the furry bear expert can leave Wang Xuexin and go it alone...
Don't worry, if Mao Xiong had developed it himself, it would have taken more than a year for the "intermediate power bomb" to be finalized in 44 years.
The AK47 had to wait for the development of the Kalashnikov 46 before it was finalized in 1947, and it was not put into service until the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.
Wang Xuexin can advance and shorten these times, and even directly provide mature drawings, omitting all the testing time in between.
As for why Wang Xuexin is so powerful... Wang Xuexin also found an excuse.
"You know!" Wang Xuexin said: "We also have cooperation with Yingjiang, so we can also obtain technology and information from Yingjiang through transactions, but it is difficult for you to obtain these things!"
As he spoke, Wang Xuexin raised his head towards the M1 carbine placed on the table.
Androvich nodded in agreement.
Sometimes a weak industry also has a weak advantage. At this time, China's industry and technology are almost worthless compared to Yingjiang and Maoxiong, so Yingjiang and Maoxiong have no scruples about China and are willing to provide any technology and information.
There are no restrictions on transactions either.
Because they know that even if they provide these technologies to China, China will not be able to imitate them or surpass them.
But things are not so easy between Yingjiang and Maoxiong. They are competitors. If you provide information today, it will be copied in large quantities by the other party tomorrow, which will put you in trouble.
This is also the reason why modern countries are willing to sell weapons to Ah San, but they are on guard against China.
By saying this, Wang Xuexin was actually deliberately misleading Mao Xiong, making them think that the reason why Wang Xuexin could provide mature drawings was probably from Yingjiang.
Similarly, one day when Wang Xuexin was trading with Yingjiang, Yingjiang would also think that Wang Xuexin's technology might come from Mao Xiong.
What they don't know is that these things actually come from the system in Wang Xuexin's head.
