Chapter 160: Body Armor
"What? Lao Jiang has arrived in Xuzhou? Meng Xiang, who was busy watching Long Yi and them test the torpedo boat, was a little surprised, as if he remembered that Lao Jiang had never been to Xuzhou.
"Yes, there is a telegram from above, asking His Excellency the Commander to go to a military meeting!" Rat Er's personal secretary is very competent, but it's a pity that it's not a mm. Regarding the fact that there is no mm in the red police unit, Xiaohua just told that the conditions were insufficient, but there was no other hint, which made Meng Xiang very regretful.
But now Meng Xiang can't care about this, and Lao Jiang specially sent a message to ask him to attend a military meeting, which has many ways.
One is that the vanguard army has been recognized by everyone, and the other is that Meng Xiang suddenly thought of Han Fuyu.
"Old Han is in trouble!"
"You said Jiang Zhongzheng was going to kill Han Fuyu?" Fan Chong was a little surprised. Meng Xiang, who hurried back to Jinan, hurriedly summoned Tang Pharmacist and Fan Chong to discuss the matter. In order to highlight the position of the core, Niu 1 and Rat 2 also attended the meeting at the same time.
Pharmacist Tang bowed his head and was silent, and only after hearing it did he shake his fan and said, "Kill chickens and monkeys!" There is going to be a big war in Xuzhou! ”
When Fan Chong heard this, he frowned and said, "Jiang Zhongzheng and Li Zongren have negotiated?" ”
Niu Yi and Rat II were silent.
After pharmacist Tang swept the two of them, he said, "Very likely." Han Fuyu still had five divisions of soldiers and horses, but Gu Liangmin and Cao Fulin were newly defeated, Sun Tongxuan had not returned, and the exhibition hall was blocked by the army in Laiwu. Han Fuyu retreated continuously, the war between the two Huai was imminent, there were many miscellaneous cards, and it was the right time to take Han Fuyu. What's more, Han Fuyu and Jiang Zhongzheng have always had contradictions. ”
He was also a little strange at the beginning, how could Meng Xiang decide that Lao Jiang was going to deal with Han Fuyu? But when he saw Niu Yi and Rat Er who were silent, he suddenly felt in his heart that the dragon Teng supported by Meng Xiang was indeed powerful.
Meng Xiang bowed his head and was silent, and at this time he would also have contradictions in his heart. History has turned a corner and is back. Is Han Fuyu's fate still the same as before? Do you want to meddle in this matter?
He glanced up at Pharmacist Tang, who smiled and said, "Now I can only sit back and wait for it to change!" How it is, it's just speculation. ”
When everyone left, Pharmacist Tang stayed.
"It's good for us! If Han Fuyu falls, Shandong will be ours! He has a lot of merits over the years, and he is always a threat! Pharmacist Tang said directly.
"Han Fuyu will die?" Meng Xiang couldn't help but say.
"Death! How many people are watching. In the matter of Nanjing, Jiang Zhongzheng was very passive, and he needed someone to stand up. He will not move Tang Shengzhi for the time being, let alone Yan Xishan, the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army are no longer necessary, but Han Fuyu is suitable in all aspects. I heard that Han Fuyu and Liu Xiang had conspired against Jiang, but I am afraid that neither of them will be able to escape. As soon as Han Fuyu went, the land was occupied by us, and the people had to fill in the battle near Xuzhou. The many benefits in the back depend on which one of us, the Central Army and the Gui Department has the upper hand. ”
Meng Xiang nodded slightly, and listened silently.
"Adults must be careful when they go!" Pharmacist Tang reminded again.
"Is he going to deal with me? The vanguard has not flinched. Meng Xiang said in surprise.
"Jiang Zhongzheng is taking one step and looking at three steps, the vanguard army is too exposed!" Pharmacist Tang also sighed. Even he didn't expect the Vanguard Army to achieve such an achievement. At the beginning, he gave Meng Xiang the idea that he just planned to stay for more than ten days and quickly accumulate prestige. Unexpectedly, the vanguard army has been standing in Jinan City without retreating.
"There are already rumors outside that the vanguard army has the support of Soviet Russia, and now there are 50,000 soldiers and horses!" Pharmacist Tang shook his head slightly.
"Who is the rumor?" Meng Xiang was amused for a while.
"It's groundless, there's no way to find out! Someone wants to fish and hunt from it. Han Fuyu fell, and then there was the vanguard army that made everyone's eyes hot. If we fall, more will be eaten. Pharmacist Tang also smiled, "I'm just afraid that someone will want to kill two birds with one stone!" ”
"This, can it really protect against bullets?" Meng Xiang looked at the expensive silk body armor in his hand and asked. Since he heard that it was dangerous to go to Xuzhou this time, he began to prepare things for self-defense. He first thought of body armor. Although I know that the bulletproof vest can be very poor and very bulky at this time, it is better than nothing.
"After firing a pistol with live ammunition, you can increase your chances of survival by 25 percent!" Rat Two got the data out of nowhere.
"According to intelligence, when Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated during World War I, he was wearing this kind of body armor." Rat Er didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he said it, Meng Xiang immediately put down this fairly light bullet armor. Everyone knows that the Grand Duke hiccups directly, so the bulletproof effect of this body armor is limited.
What Meng Xiang didn't know was that this style of body armor, composed of several layers of silk braid, was still very popular before World War I, and it was not a big problem to protect against black powder pistols. The prices were also extremely high, and in 1914, they were sold for $800 a piece. At that time, the dollar was worth about $20,000 today. The poor Grand Duke had been shot in the neck and died. At that time, even if it was hit on a bullet proof vest, the Colt pistol was not black powder, but I was afraid that the result would not be much better.
Meng Xiang looked at a bulletproof vest that looked like a padded jacket again.
"This is a body armor made of cotton pads and cloth by American mafia organizations, which can block long-range attacks of slow bullets of less than 0.45 British caliber produced before the 30s." Rat Er introduced in time.
"That's too bloated, isn't it? It's thicker than a padded jacket, but it's warm in winter. Meng Xiang shook his head and put it down directly, since he went here, he should pay attention to his image.
"How about this one?" Meng Xiang directly skipped a few bulky body armor that looked like armor, and picked up one that looked like scale armor. This reminded him of the American dragon scale armor, although the appearance and surname can be very different, but they are all scale armor protection.
"This is a bulletproof vest made of steel pieces strung together with leather ropes, and the steel pieces are overlapping each other, and the weight is 5 kilograms." Rat Er introduced.
Meng Xiang listened to only 5 kilograms, so he became interested. I put it on quickly and tried it on. This body armor is designed to fit snugly and is more comfortable to wear. However, it is still too heavy, and it is necessary to lie down after a long period of activity, maybe the cattle warriors can withstand it. Meng Xiang's heart moved, the troops were equipped with all kinds of equipment, but they had not been equipped with body armor.
The main reason is that Meng Xiang always thought that before nylon was born, there was no good body armor, and he was not flexible when he wore those bulky body armor. On the battlefield, there are countless guns and cannons, and if you want to be invincible with only a body armor that cannot protect your whole body, you are looking for death. The only way to do that is not to get shot. Moreover, countries have never heard of large-scale equipment, so they have not been equipped for a long time.
But when he saw the scale armor in his hand, he couldn't help but think of the bull warriors with great strength. Others may not be able to, but when the cattle soldiers are holding heavy firepower, how can having a body armor reduce casualties.
"This is World War I, right? It should be cheap. Produce 100 pieces of this first, and give it a try to the front! Meng Xiang said to Rat Er with this scale armor, but the appearance of special ceramic shrapnel appeared in his heart.
"There is a lack of basic industry, there are no talents, and it is difficult to do your own research!" Finally, Meng Xiang sighed in his heart.
There were only a dozen kinds of body armor before World War II, and Meng Xiang quickly finished reading them.
"These are all from World War II?" Meng Xiang picked up a body armor that looked like plate armor.
"This isn't very heavy!" Meng Xiang cushioned the weight.
"This is the SN-42 of Soviet Russia. It consists of two forged steel plates to protect the front and back of the torso. These plates are about 2 mm thick and weigh about 3.5 kg. Up to 125 meters away, it can block the penetration of Suomi submachine gun bullets. Rat Er presented the results of the experiment.
"Yes, this one is good for urban street fighting! You can try to produce a few pieces first! Meng Xiang also had some regrets in his heart, when he was producing, he remembered this bullet armor. Because this body armor was designed at the end of 41, there is no discount on the production price!
"This anti-aircraft gun protective vest is good!" Meng Xiang picked up a bulletproof vest from the Americans' World War II, which was already made of nylon. Relatively speaking, it is lightweight and sturdy, but also practical.
"But these seem to be a little bit worse!" Meng Xiang still felt some regrets in his heart. He swept through dozens of bulletproof vests all over the scene, but his heart moved: "Why don't you put together one yourself?" ”
