I can't blame a group of lieutenant generals and major generals for wanting to rush into the mountains to find Fatty Liu and beat him up.
that is......
"Poof!" A certain big boss in Nanchang took the machine gun price list sent by telex and spit out a sip of tea.
Wang Shihe looked at the principal helplessly. This was the second time the principal had lost his temper like this, and it was all because of that little colonel.
"Is this Liu Lang doing business or fighting? At this time of national crisis, he actually blackmailed the troops with such a high price. He clearly wants to enrich the country. It's disgusting. It's really disgusting." The bald man was a little more emotional after he sprayed the tea.
Erxiao was excited, calmed down a little, and turned his gaze to his attendant, "Shihe, can you tell me what you think about this?"
"Principal, from my personal point of view, Liu Lang's price is actually quite fair." Wang Shihe thought for a moment and said solemnly.
Hearing that his attendant's statement was contrary to his own, the bald man rarely became angry. He frowned slightly and motioned to Wang Shihe to continue.
In a sense, the bald man's political emotional intelligence is indeed very high. He needs an aide who is the person he trusts the most and can give him advice, not just a yes-man. As a first-term graduate of Huangpu
Wang Shihe did an excellent job in this regard when he was born. He could always give the bald man his own suggestions. Even if the bald man did not adopt many of his ideas, he still appreciated them very much.
"Look, principal, Liu Lang's quote for this machine gun seems to be as high as 7,000 silver dollars per piece. However, the Maxim heavy machine gun we bought from Germany was quoted as high as 3,400 silver dollars in January this year, although the price is quite high.
The performance of this high-rate machine gun can be used as both a light machine gun, a heavy machine gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun, taking into account front-line fire support, position defense and even anti-aircraft defense. This is far more expensive than the 1,400 we have to spend on both.
It would be more cost-effective for Yinyang to buy a Czech light machine gun and then spend 3,400 Yinyang to buy a Maxim heavy machine gun." Wang Shihe took out the purchase list from the Ministry of Military Industry in January and patiently explained to the bald man.
"Well, if you want to calculate it like Shihe, this multi-purpose machine gun itself is not very bad, basically within a reasonable range. However, the most expensive thing is not the machine gun, but the patent fees, that Gru
Who is Nuofu? How did he get involved with Liu Lang?" The bald man nodded at the item with the longest number on the list, the anger on his face still lingering.
"We have already investigated Grunov as soon as the list came out. He is the best young generation of metal stamping experts in Germany. This high-speed machine gun is based on this person's original German machine gun.
Developed, unlike the original mechanical cutting-manufactured parts, this machine gun uses the latest metal stamping machine tool technology. According to the results of inquiries from the martial arts center of our consulate in Germany, the German doctor who designed the machine gun made it before the Battle of the Great Wall.
Patent protection has been applied for by the authorities. The German authorities are also very interested in this machine gun. I believe they will also purchase it in large quantities. According to their laws, every time a machine gun is produced, the designer will be given a certain patent fee. If
If purchased by other countries like ours, the patent royalties can be collected based on the designer's suggestions with the permission of the government." Wang Shihe looked at the long series of numbers with helplessness on his face.
No wonder everyone said Liu Lang was evil-hearted. In terms of patent fees alone, the price Liu Lang offered the German doctor was a mind-numbing patent fee of 5,000 silver dollars per machine gun. Liu Lang said
It's very good. We can give you the drawings for the machine gun and let you produce it. You only need to pay the patent fee of 5,000 silver for each machine gun. However, China does not have that metal stamping machine tool. Even the consulate asked the Third Reich authorities and they did not
It is still in the exploratory stage. In other words, the only way to produce wool is to buy it from Liu Lang. Purchasing a finished machine gun costs 7,000 silver dollars, plus patent fees. In this way, the purchase price of a machine gun is as high as 10,000 silver dollars.
Two thousand silver dollars is almost equivalent to the price of a quarter of an imported mountain cannon.
This is simply taking everyone for granted.
"Then how can Liu Lang be equipped with such expensive machine guns? I heard that his entire regiment of more than 2,000 people is equipped with more than 30 machine guns. According to his price, it must be 400,000 silver dollars! He has one
How does he pay the colonel whose monthly salary is tens of thousands of dollars?" The bald man angrily began to settle the accounts.
"Ahem, Dr. Grunov fell seriously ill in Chongqing, and was saved by Liu Lang's father. In order to repay his life-saving grace, Grunov signed a three-year contract with Liu Lang. During this period, he
All research results can be used by Liu Lang for free." Wang Shihe was not only a little embarrassed.
An elite doctor from the Third Reich came to China. Not only was he not treated as a distinguished guest, but he went from Nanjing to Chongqing and his life was saved by a local rich man. Finally, he came to the government for money with a design worth tens of thousands of dollars. This is indeed a bit
This is such a slap in the face.
The extremely surprised bald man apparently had never heard of this allusion, so he asked in shock.
"These extremely stupid and short-sighted people have harmed the country and the people." The bald man finally asked the reason and almost smashed the tea cup again.
"Even so, there is nothing we can do. But is the bullet consumption on the list Liu Lang ordered really so huge?" The bald man finally suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask.
"Yes, according to the description of the gun by Guan Zhidao, who has personally tested the gun in Peiping, the rate of fire of this machine gun is as high as 1,200 rounds per minute. If the shooter is skilled, it can even reach a rapid rate of 1,400 rounds per minute, which is almost as fast as Mark
The theoretical rate of fire of the Qin heavy machine gun was more than 2 times. Therefore, in Luo Wenyu's first battle, Suzuki Mitsutsu's fourth brigade, which was too eager to conquer the pass, suffered a big loss. In just one attack, it lost more than 3,000 soldiers.
People." Wang Shihe nodded with a solemn look on his face.
Just looking at the number of Japanese casualties, he could imagine the horror of this high-speed machine gun. The number of more than 3,000 Japanese troops was the result of several days of fighting by the 29th Army, which had a total of 50,000 troops, but here
He died in a battle under the threat of a machine gun raining down bullets.
Regarding the Major General Guan who was also born in Huangpu Phase I and will become the commander-in-chief of the national army in the future, the bald man should still trust him very much. He nodded and said: "Zhidao is very good at leading troops in war. Since he said so, then
That's right. Twelve hundred rounds per minute means that a battle requires 5,000 rounds of ammunition. If a battalion is equipped with ten rifles, it will require 50,000 rounds... How much does each bullet cost?"
"150 silver dollars per thousand rounds." Wang Shihe said with some toothache.
This is where Liu Lang's real evil heart lies, because he made it very clear that after actual combat testing, the high-rate machine gun still exposed many problems. In order to change the shortcomings of the new machine gun's low bullet capacity and accuracy, he will
Change the caliber and use 6.5MM small-caliber pointed bullets similar to the Japanese Type 38 rifle.
One thousand rounds is 150, and ten thousand rounds is 1500. And the calculation is not like that of a bald man. After a battle, a machine gun will use at least tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, which is almost the same amount of ammunition used by a company of soldiers.
If a battalion has ten machine guns, it will cost 15,000 yuan to fight a battle.
What if it is a regiment or a division? The national army has 200 regular divisions. Just thinking about it, Wang Shihe felt that the government might be bankrupted by such terrible machine guns.
As for whether he can produce small-caliber bullets, Liu Lang said that if something goes wrong, he will not be responsible. That clearly means that if you don’t want to spend money, then you may buy something worth more than 10,000 yuan.
It will become scrap metal in a short while.
At this moment, the bald man probably came to his senses and took a breath of air. The teacher and students fell into silence collectively as they looked at the last line of numbers on the list.
