Deggarev's famous work is the light machine gun with a large turntable. Its working principle is indeed based on Fedorov's research results.
At this point, Yang Mingzhi immediately interjected: "Yes, your book is based on my great inspiration. Others here also gave me inspiration. I also gained some precious experience on the battlefield before developing the Soviet Union."
The first assault rifle.”
"But!" Fedorov opened his big eyes: "You used another kind of bullet. I once talked with Comrade Simonov. We were quite worried about this kind of bullet many years ago. I didn't expect you to use it."
Fully study its potential.”
Simonov also interjected: "I have to have doubts. When I developed intermediate-power rifle ammunition, was I trying to combine the advantages of submachine guns with the advantages of rifles? The war broke out without further research. I actually did not do any more research here.
After in-depth research, if the data in those reports are true, I would be really happy."
"Thank you." At this point, Yang Mingzhi made up a cover: "The svt40 equipped by some of our army has helped our guerrillas in the rear. We also like it very much. I also like the firepower of the submachine gun. I am indeed
Combining the advantages of both, now I can really only lament my luck. I did not experience any setbacks and the sample gun performed very well at the shooting range in Novosibirsk. Maybe my luck will still be the same when I get to Moscow."
Is it luck? Luck is also a kind of strength. Fedorov does not think that Berekov has relied entirely on luck for more than a year. The information about this person simply records that this Berekov is an unbeatable madman.
warrior.
"I hope your prototype gun is still excellent, so that we can teach those Germans a lesson."
Everyone present hopes that Yang Mingzhi's new weapon will be a great success, even if he is a real competitor.
In the face of justice, Deggarev felt a huge threat, but still silently expressed his support.
There are two types of sample guns sent, one of which is a new light machine gun with a total weight of only nine kilograms. Today, Berekov personally confirmed that the contents of those reports are completely true. Think about it, install a 75-round large-capacity drum,
The whole gun weighs only nine kilograms, and the test in Siberia was very good.
How could Deggarev not be curious while feeling the threat of strong competition?
Are all the guys in Siberia monsters? Why can’t we make such a light machine gun?!
Yang Mingzhi's little tail also turned up as he received strong attention from the big guys in the field of Soviet firearms research and development.
He was very excited at the moment, and when he was so excited, he even opened his arms and solemnly announced a big event.
"Comrades, all the drawings related to our prototype gun have been packed and brought. They must be absolutely safe in the custody of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Today, I will send all the documents to you. I feel that my prototype gun, no matter how you view it,
It does have its own subtleties. You can get inspiration from the drawings as much as you like, I don't mind at all."
Everyone knows that Berekov brought the drawings back, but actually it doesn’t matter whether he brought them or not.
Each firearms design bureau has a number of experts, and their reverse research skills are quite impressive.
Take a sample gun and tinker with it, and there will be no problems.
But Yang Mingzhi's words fully proved his selfless spirit as an internationalist warrior.
In fact, regardless of whether Yang Mingzhi is willing or not, the drawings he brings are destined to be immediately disclosed to relevant factories across the alliance.
Although the drawings are a major scientific research result of the Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau, the Soviet Union's definition of "intellectual property" is very special. Yang Mingzhi and his guys came up with a design blueprint for a new weapon. It is the crystallization of knowledge and a
property of the country and its people.
The Soviet Union does not support the concept of "patents", and it is even more impossible to make profits by selling "patents". The authorities believe that if this is legal, it is a straightforward capitalist behavior, how can it be allowed?
However, scientific and technological inventions will receive a high bonus from the state. In addition, the personal reputation and lifelong benefits received by the inventor cannot be underestimated.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi did not realize that, including improving RPGs (which Ustinov believed was an improvement on the Soviet Union's original design ideas) and inventing the Exocet rocket launcher, their success would also mean a huge sum of money.
Yang Mingzhi did not think carefully about the Stalin Science and Technology Prize. In fact, it was already included in the comprehensive sum of 1.4 million rubles given to him.
If the new gun is approved by a group of big shots, especially Ustinov, the bonus will be at least 50,000 rubles.
"You can copy them immediately after you get the drawings. I have strong confidence in the new guns. Your factory has greater production capacity. Perhaps a year later, the Red Army, fully equipped with new firearms, will fully occupy the strategic initiative."
Fedorov shrugged: "Young general, you are too optimistic. The role of a small weapon is limited."
"Yes, I understand. I also understand the principle of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. A local tactical advantage will gradually turn into a tactical advantage for the entire front."
"Then let's wait and see. We will continue to wait for Comrade NKVD."
They all chatted a lot in the lounge, and Beria cleverly held a headset and listened to what they said through the bug.
Fedorov hated himself, there was nothing he could do about it, everything was just work.
"Haha, Berekov, it seems that you are still very confident. I have already used your rifle. You are such a madman." Beria cursed a few times. He felt that the time was ripe and it was time to show up.
.
After a while, a capable figure appeared in front of everyone.
Beria, he wore simple clothes, a few medals on his chest, and customized small glasses. He slightly raised his chin and faced everyone with a somewhat arrogant attitude.
"Comrades, I am very happy that you are all here."
"What on earth are you wasting on?" Fedorov, who had a high self-esteem, didn't care what Beria could do to him, and continued with an impatient attitude: "Our time is very important, you shouldn't waste it."
"Oh, I'm very sorry. You know..." As he said that, Beria deliberately winked at the old man: "The country is in crisis, and some stupid people are spreading words of failure. They must be the remnants of Trotskyists. I
I ordered my subordinates to beat them up, and the result was just as I expected."
"You! You ridiculed me..."
"Ah, calm down. Comrades, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Now come with me."
Beria did not give any face to the elderly Fedorov, who was over seventy years old, and immediately walked out of the door with his hands behind his back.
Yang Mingzhi didn't feel comfortable saying anything else, and so did everyone else. The top priority now was to see the prototype gun.
In a small conference room, on a huge square table made of several large wooden tables, Yang Mingzhi saw his proud work.
Beria broke his promise. He did not watch the box being unpacked with his own eyes, and the squad light machine guns that had been dismantled into several main components had appeared in complete condition in front of everyone.
Although he felt a little unhappy, Yang Mingzhi immediately winked when he saw Grishenko standing in the room.
"General, do you have any orders?"
"Where were you yesterday?"
"I...you know, I am a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I am in the lounge of this building at night."
"Explain about the firearms."
"Ah, this matter...the wooden box was opened, and I assembled all the firearms."
Yang Mingzhi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. In fact, from Grishenko's words, he felt the tremor in the young man's tone. There was definitely something else going on!
It's not a good thing to ask too many questions. Now it seems that the firearms are placed neatly and everything looks normal.
He asked further: "Is it really okay?"
"I guarantee it with my honor, there will be absolutely no problem."
Yang Mingzhi nodded. At this moment, experts from all walks of life were gathered around the table. They didn't care what the inventor said. He just had the mentality of a child grabbing a toy. With greed in his eyes, he grabbed the sample gun on the table.
Start playing and admiring.
Fedorov was sixty-eight years old. He picked up an assault rifle and instantly understood how it operated.
He pulled the side charging handle very skillfully, habitually pulling it three times in succession, and saw the bullet ejected from the ejection hole.
"Wow! There are actually bullets in the magazine!"
"It's nothing strange, uncle," Simonov said. "I knew there were bullets in the magazine when I got the gun."
"Then if you look at the bullet, it is indeed the bullet you developed?"
Simonov took a small bullet with an astonishing tapered shell.
"Yes, that's my result. You see, because the cartridge case has a large taper, which ensures an appropriate amount of gunpowder, the deflagration gas can push the warhead very well, and the gas efficiency will be amazing."
"I understand this principle, so look at this magazine. It has a more exaggerated arc than Comrade Tokarev's SVT40."
"This is inevitable unless the drum is installed. Hey, look at Deggarev." Simonov winked at Fedorov.
Yang Mingzhi also noticed Deggarev's performance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, this man paid more attention to the light machine gun.
He picked it up to test the weight and disassembled the parts. This was Deggarev's performance.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but leaned over and said confidently: "What do you think?"
"Ah, Comrade Berekov. Your new machine gun is really compact and refreshing, and it is also very light."
"That's right. Including the drum, it's only nine kilograms."
"Can you take it apart? I want to see what's going on inside."
"OK."
…
Now Beria is watching these old guys dismantling the guns with their hands. He had previously ordered Grishenko to assemble all the firearms and insert the magazines and drums filled with bullets into the barrel of the gun.
Just now, the firearm placed on the table was ready for combat. Thanks to Berekov's superior skills, the wrench on the side of the firearm was also a safety mechanism.
What if the gun really goes off? Beria can't control it. These old guys don't need to worry about it themselves.
But he is not a professional at all. Based on his personal shooting experience, he can conclude that this is a good gun. Personally, it is not convincing at the moment. Experts like them need evidence. The most straightforward thing is shooting range data or mass production.
A small batch was obtained for battlefield testing.
Only weapons that can withstand the test of the battlefield are still qualified weapons, and Beria also understands this truth.
Whether the weapon is qualified or not, the first step must be acceptance by professionals.
Since then, the several photocopied documents in Beria's briefcase, namely the report on the condition of the corpse after the spy was executed in the early morning, will not be handed over to them for the time being.
Finally, I got the actual object, and the design drawings were placed on the large table for everyone to circulate.
Yang Mingzhi was like a teacher, and the old Fedorov became a student.
An assault rifle was disassembled as much as possible. Yang Mingzhi reported on its working principle and the functions of each part one by one. Not only Fedorov listened with interest, but others also secretly admired it.
"Very good. It seems that you, a young man, have read my book. You have developed the principle of gas-operated firearms to the extreme!" Fedorov said in admiration.
In 1939, Fedorov published a professional book called "The Evolution of Small Arms", which in a sense was a textbook.
In that plane, before Kalashnikov contacted Fedorov personally for research, he first read various books written by the old man. Kalashnikov was a good learner and had extremely strong hands-on ability.
After it figured out its own set of things, it started tinkering with it.
Fedorov's works influenced many people, and he was of great significance to the Soviet military industry. Therefore, he was imprisoned for two years during the Great Purge. Stalin made a decision and personally ordered his release.
Later, the truth came out, and the old man was falsely accused and imprisoned. Stalin did not know this fact before the amnesty. His release was entirely due to appreciation of his talents, and he also knew that he needed the army to equip automatic firearms as soon as possible, and Fedorov, the inventor
The great role of the old man who invented the first automatic rifle in the Tsarist Russia era.
Of course Fedorov also knows his position in the industry. He is a leading figure in the research and development of small arms. Look at the people around him. Which one did not embark on the road of research and development of small arms after reading his own works?
Ustinov watched Yang Mingzhi dismantle an assault rifle and finally saw its core bolt.
"Wow! It's exactly the same as the report, one-piece stamping."
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi explained proudly: "The factory I entrusted with the production is the only factory currently producing submachine guns in Novosibirsk." As he said that, he brought another drum full of bullets. "Look, the drum is also the same.
Stamped, all the stamped parts for these firearms come from the same factory.”
"It seems so. I know that the production efficiency of stamping parts is very fast. It seems that the production speed of your sample gun is also very fast?"
"Of course, it is faster than the production efficiency of a submachine gun."
"Very good, now I try to put it back together. Comrade Berekov, this is my first time doing it, please give me some advice."
"Can."
It was said that it was a pointer. Ustinov soon discovered that the seemingly complex firearm was actually composed of several modules. It can be said that the structure of each module is a little more complicated. When the modules are pieced together into a whole, it is simply
Children playing with building blocks.
"I succeeded in assembling it for the first time. The next step is to insert the magazine."
