"I think we'll have to have a good talk!" Kahn? Colonel Dorman walked straight in front of Meng Xiang, glanced at Jian Yi and Jian Er in the distance, and said with a serious expression.

"Absolutely, we have a lot of sincerity! Do you want to take another look? Meng Xiang smiled, but Karl noticed his gaze sweeping over one of the gestures of the one in the room.

"Yes!" Karl was expecting him to surprise himself even more.

Soon, two soldiers came at a hurry with a machine gun.

"What is this? So ugly! Without waiting for Karn to ask, looking at the tripod in the hands of a soldier and the bipod on the machine gun, the arrogant Captain William had already begun to make fun of the machine gun. Just now, Meng Xiang smiled and looked at the surprised expressions of several people, which made him hold his breath. At this time, when I saw this machine gun, I couldn't help laughing: "Is this a gun?" ”

"Machine gun!" Meng Xiang actually smiled and nodded.

"Is this your precious sincerity?" William was a little annoyed by Meng Xiang's smile, "It looks like a bunch of shoddy handmade courseware for elementary school students, don't tell me, you Huaxia people can use a bunch of iron pieces and an iron pipe to piece together a gun that can kill rabbits!" ”

Meng Xiang immediately changed his original mind in his heart, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he said with a cold expression: "This is indeed the work of our craftsmen who have never gone to school in Huaxia, and I didn't plan to sacrifice ugliness." However, it is rare to meet a few friends from Germany who just pointed out our shortcomings. ”

He shook his finger back, and two soldiers brought up an MG-34 machine gun. In the distance, visible to the naked eye, targets at different distances have been erected.

Karn's artistic weapon plot also played a role in William's smirk, and he didn't say anything, just kept looking between the machine gun and the one.

The bullets placed next to the ugly machine gun, Karn could see clearly, were also using the same 7.92x57mm bullets. He pressed the question in his mind and quietly watched as the soldiers attached to the metal bullet chains.

"Let's get started!" After the soldiers were ready, Meng Xiang nodded slightly. As soon as he finished speaking, the muzzles of two machine guns of the same blood spewed flames at the same time.

"Would you like us to get some rest?" After listening to the monotonous sound of machine guns for a while, Meng Xiang pointed to the tables and chairs that had just been arranged in the distance, in order to show his handsome side, the tables and chairs were arranged with a lot of fruits that looked particularly luxurious in winter.

Karn, who was watching in fascination, glanced at him, but continued to stare at the ugly machine gun. The distinctive sound of tearing the cloth did not affect the dissolution of its structure. As time passed, the expression on Karn's face became more solemn, and he looked at Captain Arnim in the group. The captain, who was very proficient in firearms, had come to assist in the investigation of the large number of MG-34 machine guns in the Vanguard. At this time, he also had a solemn face, and after glancing at Karn, he made an incredulous expression.

The rapid firing would deform the barrel, and after firing for a while, the red flag in the hand of one of the soldiers standing next to him waved, and both machine guns began to change barrels at the same time. Karn could see very clearly that the two soldiers with the MG-34 machine gun were very skilled in changing the barrels, and fully met the qualification requirements of the Emperor [***] team, but the soldiers of the ugly machine gun next to them took a faster time to change the barrels.

Arnim had noticed the unique cap ring and snap design at the barrel, and the quickness of their barrel change was not because they were more skilled, but because the design of the particular replacement device was more effective.

After a long period of firing, the two soldiers, with magazines of 50 rounds and 75 rounds respectively, continued to shoot at different targets. Again, the two machine guns were evenly matched.

"Is this your product?" When the sound of the machine guns had stopped, Karn glanced at Jian Yi and Jian Er, who were standing far away, and asked Meng Xiangdao.

"This is what our Huaxia craftsmen inadvertently put together!" Meng Xiang raised his chin and said.

Karn was amused in his heart, both of them were too young. The judgment of Meng Xiang's identity in his heart was reduced by one point.

"This one isn't handmade!" He touched the edge of the ugly machine gun, which had obvious mechanical marks, and said.

"In order to save costs, we opted for punching and riveting parts!" Meng Xiang didn't say anything more, and clicked directly.

This ugly machine gun is, of course, the MG-42. To be honest, it was a bit early to come up with MG-42 at this time, 4 years ahead of schedule, although there is nothing too complicated in terms of technology, but the improvement of consciousness is the key.

Kahn was constantly calculating that due to the large number of riveting parts used, the production efficiency was greatly improved. It also saves materials and reduces costs. If it is produced by the machines of the Empire, it is not a little less than the MG-34, which wastes more than half of the metal.

This Meng Xiang is the most numerous, even if the base production price of MG-42 at this time is only half the price, but the price is still about the same as the price of MG-34, you must know that MG-34 is one-eighth of the cost price.

Karn estimated a rough figure, and couldn't help but be shocked, he looked at Captain Arnim, who was also looking at him in surprise, and then at William, who had a solemn expression on his face, and couldn't help but be full of great interest in the organization behind Meng Xiang. He still didn't believe Meng Xiang's words, it was impossible to make this kind of machine gun so balanced without rich mechanical knowledge.

"This is our Storm machine gun!" Meng Xiang was also going to push it to the unwarranted organization behind it, but the arrogant captain's words stabbed him, making him decide to detain the inventor of this machine gun to his own head. In a hurry, the name was not good, reminiscent of the rainstorm pear flower needle in the novel, Meng Xiang abridged the surname and only took the name of the rainstorm.

"Heavy rain?" Kahn muttered its Chinese voice, listening to the translation of 27 and Meng Xiang's confident tone, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could this really be the work of the Chinese people? He looked at Meng Xiang, who was expressionless, and his face was more rigid than him, and he looked at Meng Xiang, who was chuckling at William with some smugness, and couldn't help but stick to his original judgment. Even if this machine gun is the work of the Chinese, it still doesn't matter much about this young general, he is just a puppet who has been pushed out.

Either way, this Rainstorm machine gun was what the Empire with relatively few resources needed the most. The tactics of the Emperor [***] team are carried out around the machine gun core, but the high cost of the MG-34 and the complex process, even if the machinery of the whole empire is started together, can not meet the needs of the entire emperor [***] team, and it is impossible to change all the equipment and equip the new army that is constantly present, without three or four years.

The Rainstorm is a hope, but it needs to be tested further to prove that it can withstand all kinds of harsh environments.

"The Empire needs it!" Karn decided in his heart that he was more optimistic about this Storm machine gun than the Soviet tank that could be used as a reference.

"Then can we talk about these two weapons now, we are very sincere!" Kahn was not just a brilliant commanding officer.

"I want to ,......" Meng Xiang glanced quickly at Jian Yi who was walking in the distance, and Karn saw the small movements of their hands again.

"I think we have more sincerity to show a bright future for our cooperation!" Meng Xiang threw out the last trading item he was going to take.

"What? Do you have Bavaria-class battleships? Karn, who had always had a calm expression, lost his temper a little. The Bavaria-class battleships meant a lot to the Germans. This can be regarded as the last class of battleships built in the First World War, and the surname can be a little stronger than the prototype of the battleship Queen Elizabeth, which was the main force of Britain at this time.

However, the current battleship Queen Elizabeth has been modernized for the second time since last year, and the surname can be greatly improved after the refit.

The Bavaria-class battleships themselves have a good surname, and the 380-mm cannon is not outdated at all, and after modern modifications, it can be used as a capital ship.

After Karn was taken aback, the first thing he didn't believe was that there were still Bavaria-class battleships at this time? The only two ships that were built sank to the bottom of the sea, and the other two were dismantled before they were built. Karn knew this well, and had seen the weeping of his old friend.

"This is what we built!" Meng Xiang began to flicker again.

Karn smiled without squeaking. He thought even more that the Chinese general was talking big. China's industry, especially heavy industry, can be described as a handicraft workshop as far as he knows. If you want to build a battleship with a thousand technologies in one, you can listen to it as a joke.

"Our men studied the Baden carefully when it was salvaged. Luckily, we also met an engineer who had been involved in making it, got some help from him, and got a set of drawings that weren't very complete. When the battleship Bavaria was salvaged in 1934, we also had comparisons and studies, and we also received help from other enthusiasts. In this way, we can be sure that we will make her. Meng Xiang paused, and while organizing the follow-up language, he glanced at Karn's somewhat moved expression.

"Luckily, we can make her, and we're making it. She's pretty advanced to us. In order to save money, we built two at once. ”

"You guys?" Karn still did not believe that Huaxia could build a battleship that represented the pinnacle of a country's technology and strength at this time.

"Of course, I'm the owner of those two battleships!" Meng Xiang pretended to be humble and said, "But unfortunately, due to the recent war with Yue himself, there have been some minor problems in our finances. ”

Karn immediately understood Meng Xiang's words.

"Need help from our empire?" Karn was a little convinced of Meng Xiang's chaos, there was no doubt that the Bavarian battleship was built by the force behind the young general, and he only saw the equipment in the vanguard army and the two surprise gifts today, he knew that that force had the ability to build Bavaria-class battleships.

"No, we're almost going to make her. It's just that we don't need her much now, we need to find a buyer! Meng Xiang smiled and added, "Cheap processing!" ”

"Two? When will it be built? Karn suppressed the ebb and flow of his mood and said in a still-calm tone. Germany was expanding its military aggressively, but the British Navy was still a thorn in the hearts of the Germans. Although he often scolded those naval bastards, it did not prevent him from considering the huge role of the Imperial Navy.

The domestic factories are running at full capacity, and it is impossible to meet the demand and catch up with the British Navy. But the young Chinese general's last sentence of cheap treatment is meaningful. It is estimated that there was a financial problem in the battle with Yu himself, and he needed to balance it before selling it. It's just not known what the quality of the warship is.

"When will it be built?" However, he didn't mention all this, just asked.

When it is built, you will know how the quality is, and when the time comes, you will be interested in knowing how cheap it is. If the quality is not good, even if it is cheap, the empire will spend this unjustly money.

When Meng Xiangyi saw that the battleships of the First World War were still at a high price, facing the base with only twenty-four one-part of the cost price, he never gave up chasing this huge profit in his heart. The arms trade has been very profitable, and Meng Xiang has already sold a lot of guns and cannons, and he has a deep experience. But compared with the purchase and sale of warships, Meng Xiang was still stunned by the huge number of profits.

The Bavarian battleship base was built at a cost of just over 1.1 million oceans, and the cost of its manufacture at the time was estimated to be more than three million pounds. Even if it is a little outdated, no matter how cheap it is, it can be sold for more than a million pounds, which is tens of millions in exchange for the ocean. Once such a deal is made, the fiscal deficit in the base area can be resolved.

The coefficient for the construction of Bavaria-class battleships is 0.7, which means that the secondary shipbuilding center can build 14 tons per hour, and the design displacement of 28,530 tons will take less than three months.

In this regard, while Meng Xiang was in contact with the Germans, he was also building a new base vehicle.

"Since there is no port, and the naval threat of the devils is too great, then I will go to a remote place overseas to build it! Even with base upgrades, five months is almost enough! Meng Xiang thought indignantly, and at the same time said with a smile on his face: "Within five months, Mr. Karn will be able to see those two intact Bavaria-class battleships. ”
