For the future, Li Le knows that assault rifles are the real direction of development, and as for the desperate bolt rifle like the Mauser 98K, as well as full-power ammunition, it will disappear into the long river of history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for why this is the case, Li Le's own analysis is nothing more than that the normal combat distance between the two sides has become shorter.

Trench warfare will no longer be fought, and even the permanent fortified areas will not last long.

Strategic bombing, air supremacy, and the increasing number of tanks and armored vehicles will speed up the pace of warfare.

In short, Li Le believed that when he was bound to strengthen the strength of his armored forces, he should equip the grenadiers with assault rifles.

"In short, the effective range is temporarily set at 400 meters! Uses a magazine of 30 rounds or more. Li Le put forward his own requirements to a group of engineers.

Instead of copying the classic STG-44 assault rifle design, he gave the AK-47 and STG-44 the structure of the rifle and left it to the designers to choose.

As the favorite of later generations of terrorists, the AK series assault rifle does have commendable advantages.

The first is that it is cheap and easy to manufacture in large quantities. This advantage allows the poor to finally have affordable weapons, which can definitely be regarded as intimate service.

At the same time, the AK series is simple to manufacture and parts are scarce. This is also an advantage that Li Le likes, easy maintenance means more reliable and durable.

In addition, the AK-47 has another advantage that makes people applaud, that is, it is easy to operate - you don't see it, children and old people can use it, and the training is simple and easy to use.

However, the German designers, who were apparently obsessed with mechanics, were a little less interested in the AK series assault rifles.

They preferred the STG-44 assault rifle, which, at least in appearance, was more in line with their aesthetic.

"My Führer, at a time when the enemy is generally armed with rifles with an effective range of 500 or even 800 meters, is it a bit too hasty for us to equip our soldiers with such rifles with a range of only 400 meters?" An engineer's face was full of concern.

Similarly, another designer who lived through the First World War shook his head and said: "Führer, the only advantage of this weapon is that there is no need to pull the bolt, and in other respects, it can be described as useless." ”

Although the others didn't speak, they all stared at Li Le with similar eyes, which made Li Le feel irritated for a while.

Just now, Li Le ordered the purchase of 400 Bofors anti-aircraft guns to be used to modify German warships and strengthen the air defense of the port.

At the same time, he ordered the production of imperial pistols to be handed over to the newly occupied Belgian gunsmiths.

What is even more puzzling is that Li Le also ordered Vichy France to mass-produce 500 small-caliber guns, including 75-mm field guns, for Germany.

All three orders were given to the Allies or the Occupied Territories, which seemed to be a change in foreign policy and a consideration of the Führer's weapons performance.

Obviously, compared with the existing weapons in Germany, the weapons in these procurement cases seem to be better in terms of performance.

Some experts suddenly realized that the Führer was not quite the same as before.

The former Führer did not know much about the minutiae of weapons, he always liked to brag about big things like tanks, warships, and planes, and paid little attention to small aspects.

And now, the Führer is very targeted at improving the weapons in his hands, and the angle of choice is very tricky.

The performance of the Bofors anti-aircraft gun has always been good, compared with the German 37 mm caliber "hand puller", but it is more than a little stronger.

Compared with Bofors, the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns originally equipped with German battleships seem to be outdated, and their replacement is inevitable.

Allowing Belgian gunsmiths to mass-produce German-made pistols is another consideration.

The pistol, no matter how it develops, is not powerful enough to replace the long gun, it is only used for self-defense at the last moment, or something used to commit suicide.

So for pistols, performance is not so important, and the most important issue is another aspect - cost.

Several pistols produced by Belgian companies, after being improved to 7.92 mm caliber, are more than a little cheaper and simpler than expensive Ruger pistols.

In this case, the purchase of cheaper weapons will undoubtedly equip more front-line soldiers.

As for allowing France to mass-produce artillery, it is again a matter of political considerations.

The Vichy government of La France launched the water, and freed up more skilled workers in the country to strengthen the production line of large-caliber artillery......

It has to be admitted that in the impression of the discerning person, the Führer has become more shrewd and efficient than before.

This originally stubborn and somewhat ignorant Führer suddenly got rid of his own problem of arrogantly interfering in the development of weapons, but opened a golden finger to guide the correct development direction of weapons.

However, even so, they still do not believe that assault rifles will be the future direction of individual weapon development, they still do not believe that the shorter the range of the weapon, the better.

Ever since the advent of projectile weapons, range has been the most important performance indicator.

From bows and arrows to catapults, the range of hundreds of paces was enough to excite the rulers, and even more so in the age of gunpowder.

The "lobster soldiers" of the British Empire once set a record of firing a salvo at a distance of more than 20 meters, which also represents the real effective range of weapons at that time.

With the development of technology, the accuracy of the rifle developed from fifty to three hundred meters, and the last breath soared to a distance of 800 meters or even 1000 meters.

This is the great result of the hard work of countless engineers who have been thinking about it day and night, and will it be overturned overnight?

"Let me ask a question." Li Le did not explain his reasons, but asked a question for everyone to answer.

"When our troops attacked, the bombers still had tank cover, and the artillery bombarded the enemy's positions...... At this time, how many meters is the effective distance of the soldiers? ”

He asked his own question, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he pulled a document from his desk and threw it among the designers.

"This is a statistical record of the Polish campaign as well as the French campaign...... It's about 300 meters to 200 meters. Li Le himself gave the answer.

He continued, providing an explanation for his theory: "What about when it comes to defense? When we fire back, it's up to us to decide. 400 meters isn't that close, is it? ”

Although the designers still don't want to believe this argument, the explanation given by Li Le is reasonable, and they really have no good way to refute it.

At least, there is a lack of automatic weapons on the front line, and there is a desire for more submachine guns, which is a fact that everyone knows.

Let's take the Führer's new weapon, called the assault rifle, and produce it as a submachine gun.

And didn't the Führer already say that this new weapon will only be issued to two soldiers in the infantry squad, just like the submachine gun, and will not completely replace the Mauser 98K.

There was no reason to object, but the development of a new weapon was a simple project for German engineers and designers.

They quickly nodded in agreement and promised to come up with a design within a month.

After all, Germany's heritage is too strong, and their industrial processing capacity can definitely be regarded as the best.

After getting rid of these gunsmiths who had already learned the ropes, Li Le felt that he was in a good state and could challenge things related to tank manufacturing.

He was in such a good mood that he even hummed two ballads from the Munich region, like a bard.

After refining the assault rifle, there is much, much more to do. For example, to improve German tanks, to improve German warships......

Speaking of battleships, Li Le felt that it was time for the USS Zeppelin aircraft carrier to form combat effectiveness.

There are also paratroopers, and submarine forces, and that communication code that can be broken by the enemy at any time.

It is necessary to deploy more radars, develop better electronic components, and form its own special forces to guide the mode of warfare to the mode of small-group elite operations.

There are too many things to improve, but as long as he uses the Führer's tiger skin, he Li Le is absolutely sure that the German chariot will be on the fast track to victory.

After all, he was a veteran of World War II and knew more about the enemy than the true Führer who died.

Thinking of this, Li Le opened his mind again: if he told Heisenberg about the fission of the atomic bomb, could Germany play with the atomic bomb in 1943?

If there is really such a weapon of mass destruction, it is not impossible to force the United States to surrender and let Britain completely annihilate......

The more I imagine the future, the brighter I feel about my future. Li Le hummed a song and remembered to eat hot pot, which made him feel bad again.

Not to mention the lofty food activity of hot pot, as the head of state, he has not eaten a delicious meal for three consecutive days.

Others can eat steak and drink red wine, but as a stand-in for the head of vegetarianism, Li Le can only eat his cabbage, radish and potatoes pitifully......

Many people have eaten Western food, so you can imagine what it would be like if you replaced the steak.

The complicated-looking plates are stacked on top of each other, just like the leftovers left over from a Chinese banquet.

At this time, Li Le had already missed meat too much, and his eyes became more terrifying and sharp.

The eyes, which were even glowing slightly green at night, made Bowman and Misch and the others very puzzled, and even thought that they had done something wrong.

For Li Le, a wolf-like head is not an adjective, he is about to really become a vicious wolf.
