"Captain, it's the captain who is back!" The soldiers shouted excitedly, and they rushed up towards Qin Chuan.

A group of people hugged each other tightly...... It is clear that the brief parting of this holiday has deepened their comradeship.

Then Werner exclaimed: "Captain, what are you wearing on your collar?" God, that's a knight's medal! ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied, and then received the envious eyes of a group of soldiers, if they knew that this medal was awarded by Hitler, there would definitely be crazy screams.

It should be said that the number of Knights' Crosses issued is not small, a total of 7,361 were issued during the entire Third Reich.

But the important thing is that this medal was designed just a year ago...... Previously, the Highest Medal of Honor was awarded only to senior military commanders who met the two conditions of "meritorious service" and "loyalty to the royal family", and many high-, middle- and lower-ranking military personnel could not receive this honor.

So Hitler added this kind of knight's cross specifically to recognize the heroic deeds of military personnel, so so far there are not many such medals, and most of them have incredible brilliant combat performances, and having it is almost a sign of "combat hero".

(Note: Medals were always issued more strictly at the beginning of the design, and by the time the Third Reich was in a desperate situation, the number of medals issued increased in stages.) ）

"It's not fair!" Werner rolled his eyes: "I also participated in all the battles that the captain participated in, and I even returned before him, they should send me one too!" ”

"you, Werner!" The baker said, "If that's the case, we should each have one!" ”

"Okay!" Werner said: "Good thing I have this thing......"

As he spoke, he took the gun pinned behind his back and shook it in his hand.

Looking at the appearance of the gun, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, it was clearly an AK47.

Looking at Qin Chuan, who looked confused, Werner said happily: "Captain, I can guarantee that you have never seen this thing!" ”

"He really hasn't seen it!" A voice came from not far away: "But we designed it according to the drawings he took!" ”

The person who said this was none other than Conrad, who was looking at Qin Chuan with a smile on his face, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

Later, Qin Chuan learned that Conrad even called Berlin to ask for someone.

Needless to say, what the result will be...... No one could get people out of Himmler's hands. Not only did he not leave, but Conrad was also asked not to bother with any further inquiries and not to divulge any relevant information.

So Conrad knew that Qin Chuan was likely to be caught up in some big plan again.

Qin Chuan had no reason for Werner and the others to be stunned, so he took Conrad aside and asked, "What's its name?" ”

Although Qin Chuan knew, he couldn't be sure, and Qin Chuan shouldn't know at this time, so he should also act like he didn't know.

"Like you said!" Conrad replied, "We named it the MP43 and it was well received!" Want to try it? ”

Qin Chuan nodded.

Conrad took Qin Chuan to the northern part of the base, where there was a shooting range where hundreds of German soldiers were practicing, and all of them were MP43s.

"We are going to replace all our submachine guns with MP43s!" Conrad took out an MP43 from the ordnance administrator and handed it to Qin Chuan, saying, "Of course, I mean the First Steps!" ”

Seeing Qin Chuan looking at the MP43, Conrad continued: "We found this submachine gun you designed...... Let's call it a submachine gun, it's almost tailor-made for the intermediate power bullet we developed, it's very simple to use, just load the magazine, pull the bolt, and shoot! ”

Of course Qin Chuan knows this, but it's the first time he knows it.

Raising the gun, he fired a few points at the target in front of him, and there were a few more bullet holes in the target.

Then there was another burst of fire, and this time the bullets flew around the target.

"The recoil is much smaller than that of a rifle!" Qin Chuan said: "Within the affordable range! ”

"Of course!" Conrad replied, "That's what we're doing with the Intermediate Power Bomb!" It's perfect, isn't it? It combines the power of a rifle with the rate of fire of a submachine gun, but the disadvantage is that the accuracy is not high when firing continuously! ”

"But it doesn't matter!" Qin Chuan said: "Because the Soviets ...... They will charge at us in a dense formation! ”

"Yes, this is a piece of equipment against the Soviets!"

"My question is......" Qin Chuan asked while playing with the MP43 in his hand, "How many of these things have you produced?" ”

"The first batch of 10,000!" Conrad replied.

"Then why don't you equip our regiment with them all?"

"What?" Hearing this, Conrad couldn't help but be stunned: "You mean ......"

"It's not just used to replace submachine guns!" Qin Chuan said: "I think it can also replace the rifle!" ”

"But ......," Conrad said, "we think that will put a lot of pressure on logistics, and the troops will be short of long-range equipment!" ”

Conrad was right, or arguably his fears were necessary.

First of all, this weapon was produced to replace submachine guns to compensate for their lack of range and power, if used to replace rifles...... It's a bit too radical for people in this era.

Secondly, the bolt rifle would obviously consume much smaller bullets than the automatic rifle, and the transport capacity of the German army at this time was worrying, so it was really not suitable for replacing the rifle from this aspect.

But Qin Chuan knew that it was feasible, because the modern army had proven it in actual combat again and again.

"I need an army like this!" Qin Chuan said: "I mean, except for machine guns and snipers, riflemen and submachine gunners are all replaced with MP43s. As for the issue of supply, I believe that the supply of a regiment does not cause too much pressure! ”

Conrad nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "I have to warn you, Captain, this may increase the combat effectiveness of the troops, but it may also decrease, because if you do this, it will make the troops a little uncomfortable, and even the tactics will have to be changed accordingly, which is very dangerous!" ”

"That's why we need to train!" Qin Chuan said, "Of course, I need to discuss it with Colonel Slain!" ”

"Okay!" Conrad nodded.

Conrad understood that the so-called discussion with Colonel Slane basically meant that there was no need to discuss...... Qin Chuan always has a way to convince them, or it can also be said that they all trust Qin Chuan.
