Chapter 1329: Body armor

The German side did not object, and was willing to continue the talks, and the matter was more than half successful, and sure enough, as expected in China, money could solve most of the problems, especially for Germany in this period.

In fact, the figure of 2.1 billion makes Germany very tempted from top to bottom, although it will cause the exchange of 3 million prisoners of war, but what is it, with 2.1 billion, the army and navy can be greatly improved, and even the strategic weapon 155 can be popularized to the regimental level, as for the machine gun, it can be sent to the shift, without increasing the number of personnel, greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, even if the other side increases the combat power by 3 million, as long as it is in terms of weapons and equipment, it cannot catch up with Germany, It didn't have much impact, but it was just an increase of 3 million to Germany.

The pre-imperial meeting lasted for 2 hours, no need to urge, everyone's focus became how to distribute the 2.1 billion, it can be said that Germany almost did nothing, and sold more than 2.1 billion of 3 million prisoners of war, this business can definitely be regarded as good, even if it is a hammer deal, this deal is also timely, and the German army and navy can be greatly strengthened to a certain extent.

The Kaiser finally set the tone, and the third consultation will be carried out, to see what conditions the other side has, and if not, it doesn't matter if 2.1 billion agrees.

The German Imperial Council was impossible to reach with China's tentacles, and Wu Chaoshu did not sit back and wait, but after contacting several high-ranking officials close to China and learning about the current situation in Germany, especially some concerns of the military. Because the appearance of sonar not only dealt a huge blow to the German submarine forces. It also made the Seawolf tactics no longer possible, and now the war is of a global nature. One ring after another, if there is no premise of sea wolf tactics, the transport fleet of the Entente will no longer have any impact, and it can be transported to Britain in a long drive, and the equipment of the Entente will rise, and the combat effectiveness will also rise, which will put huge pressure on the German army, and under this premise, the Entente will obtain millions of reserve troops. The pressure on Germany is even greater.

Knowing that he has won a hundred battles, Wu Chaoshu came this time and made a lot of preparations, in addition to 2.1 billion, there are several plans, and the largest, and most likely, is that Germany, facing the pressure of the Entente. How to relieve this pressure has become the focus, and if this is solved, the problem will not be a problem.

At the time of leaving Baotou. Wu Chaoshu was authorized to open body armor to Germany, and in a sense. This is something that Germany cannot refuse.

From the advent of thermal weapons, tools to counter thermal weapons have also appeared. In the beginning, ordinary arquebuses. You can use some armor, or shield to resist, with the more and more powerful weapons, it is not easy to resist firearms, in order to protect important personnel, countries have done a certain amount of research, with some high-hardness alloys, body armor, but the weight of this kind of thing, quite high, less than 15 kilograms, more than 25 kilograms, once put on, I am afraid it is difficult to even move.

China provides as a killer feature, different from the old-fashioned plug-in type, this body armor has an insert, but it is very weak, up to 1.5 kg of aluminum alloy material armor, which is a key protection research material for the Air Force, aluminum-based cemented carbide, but in terms of hardness, it is not much lower than synthetic steel, but the weight is only about a quarter of synthetic steel.

It's just that this plug-in board will drop the body armor by three-quarters at most, and the minimum will be about 4-5 kilograms, which is barely usable, but it is still very high. Under the premise that the first layer of cemented carbide blocks the penetration of the bullet, 0.5 kg of composite materials are used to transmit the kinetic energy of the bullet to the whole body through different channels through reasonable arrangement.

The reason why the penetration of the bullet is so strong, the key is that the bullet is small enough, if the total energy of the bullet is placed on a huge stone, the flight speed of the stone will be very slow, when the bullet penetrates the size of the warhead, and the bullet penetrates through the size of one square meter, the upper damage is absolutely different, as long as it can be transmitted to all parts of the body at the fastest speed, not only will not be injured by the attack of the bullet, but also because of the timely conduction, so that the performance of the body armor is more outstanding.

1.5 kilograms of aluminum alloy, 0.5 kilograms of polymer composite materials, plus some other things, together, the weight of the entire vest is 2.5 kilograms, which is accurate to a certain extent of the soldier's weight, not low, but also more than 5 kilograms of easy acceptance, the next long time, the army to experience, is in a fixed how to fight, this can effectively protect the important position, with 1.kilogram enough to have a special helmet to cooperate, well protect most of the soldiers' vital points.

Such an excellent protective device, immediately attracted the attention of high-level officers, when the prime minister was preparing for the next third round of consultations, the news came, a bulletproof equipment that can protect most of the vital appears, the total weight is only 3.5 kilograms, this weight is an acceptable range, the only thing that is a little confused, is his performance, the performance of Chinese products, in many cases, are trustworthy, but these equipment to every soldier, or must be tested.

When the army tested the body armor, this test is very easy to carry out, Wu Chaoshu is ready to come, of course, it can't be empty-handed, he brought almost 20 sets of body armor and helmets, and was immediately tested by the German military, infantry weapons are always the easiest to get results, at present, Germany uses rifles, 50 meters away, it is impossible to penetrate the body armor, most of them are bounced off, a small part breaks the outer layer of hard metal, and it is impossible to break through the second layer of polymer materials, into the third layer of hard metal. Makqin is slightly better, but it can't penetrate 150 meters away, and it can't penetrate the polymer material until it is within 50 meters, but it still can't penetrate the inner steel plate, and it is difficult to hurt the soldiers when the kinetic energy is lost.

Such superior performance, will bring great security to the soldiers, army operations, people who really die under the artillery, only a small part, the focus of the damage, always rifles and machine guns, these weapons are the strongest weapons to kill soldiers, especially vital injuries and head wounds, and the key, helmets and body armor, for machine guns and rifles have a great protective effect, as long as it is not by the rush of body armor, as long as it is in accordance with the attack methods of German soldiers, the number of casualties of German soldiers on the battlefield in the future, It will also be reduced by more than 7 percent, a figure that is definitely satisfactory to Germany.

In fact, after the completion of the test, the General Staff put forward a very high evaluation of this body armor, according to the battlefield data assessment, if the German side, if this body armor is used, even in the war-torn Bordeaux battlefield, the battle damage is reduced on a large scale, which is tantamount to a disguised increase in Germany's war potential, as for the release of millions of prisoners of war, it is not so important.

7 percent of the battle damage is reduced, what does this mean, the already strong German army will become strong again, and most of the battle damage is in the arms, feet, and other less important positions, at most a serious injury, not life-threatening, except for a small number of amputated and crippled, the rest, can be re-entered into the battlefield. Germany has always advocated the principle of elite soldiers, Germany has always been a European power, but the population has not been large, until now, temporarily settled in a huge land, after the addition of some Germans, the total population of Germany has not exceeded 73 million, such a population, can not support a huge war.

At present, France has 40 million, Britain has 50 million, the United States has more than 100 million, and Russia is close to 200 million.

The European war, has now become a war of attrition, the purpose of the war has also changed from the elimination of the other side, to achieve victory in the decisive battle, to the minimum price, in exchange for the maximum consumption of the other side, this is what should be done, the emergence of body armor, made this possible, as long as part of the medical support from China is introduced, Germany can even play two times higher than the original, or even three times the combat effectiveness, this is the greatest help.

The third consultation was directly stillborn, what else is there to talk about, 2.1 billion funds, body armor with strong protective capabilities, if you talk about it again, it will be a bit aggressive, it really forces China to the opposite side, Germany let China join in order to get help, not to find an enemy, which Germany clearly distinguishes.

Wu Chaoshu's diplomatic mediation, it took only 3 days, it was a complete success, and then the details of the issue, there are special diplomats to discuss, he is responsible for summarizing, to ensure the results of this diplomatic mediation, and after the radio wave is sent back, China's action has also begun, at the same time, the German staff high-level, with a wave of the hand, to procure, with the current German army close to 6 million, at least 5 million, but after asking the price, everyone hesitated, a piece of 150 US dollarsThe key is that the price of polymer materials is extremely high, Germany itself is also in the laboratory research, the price is much higher than this, calculated to be close to 750 million US dollars, plus helmets, it is 1 billion, in this regard, the German side did not say a word, the effect of the body armor proves his value, 150 US dollars for military materials, is not a large amount, that is, the number of equipment is huge, the final number is quite amazing.
