PS: Ask for tickets on the weekend!

"Your Excellency, it's been a long time since you've inspected the Nibelungen. ”

Alfred Messerschmitt, the director of the arsenal, approached with care and care, like a priest who serves the Mother Goddess and sees the true God.

"I'm so sorry. Li Lin stretched out his hand and put on a distressed look: "You see, since there is an extra star on his shoulder, the workload has increased." ”

"Your Excellency, when will we be able to drink your wine?"

A kid who looked like he had just graduated from the technical school shouted loudly, and after a burst of laughter, the other elves also waited for Li Lin to answer this gossip question that the whole of Alfheim cared about, all with ambiguous expressions.

"There are a lot of ladies and girls around me, but I'm too busy. Look, I didn't even have time to change out of the uniform that caught the lady's attention, and I plunged into the pile of big men. ”

The laughter grew louder, and some of the middle-aged mechanics loosened their faces.

At this time, another boy cried out:

"Your Excellency, how does it feel to be surrounded by girls?"

"Man, that's a very mixed feeling, and I'm flattered by the tenderness of the ladies and ladies. But behind them, the eyes of the fathers make me shudder. ”

The mechanics gathered together laughed back and forth, and a middle-aged elf wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled:

"With so many girls by your side, are you still greedy to make demands?"

"Poor God. The boy shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent and helpless: "Gentlemen, you should really go to Lüdes and hear how the humans there spread my story." - 7 wives, one every night. There are also cow maids, spider maids, and octopus maids bought from the United Rus' Principality to warm the bed. Who knows which head came up with it, and every night I cuddle up and sleep with the girls writing essays. The smell of paper and ink obscured the slightest smell of perfume,"

The elves laughed and laughed, and almost rolled on the ground.

On the one hand, it is for flattery. On the other hand, that kind of gossip is really ridiculous.

can come up with a Li Lin who works non-stop all day long and rolls the sheets with seven big and small wives in his arms, and the imagination and courage of the rumor-mongers are definitely very good and powerful.

"All right, gentlemen. Now that I've answered your questions, I'm going to appreciate the fruits of your hard work. ”

The laughter stopped. After saluting, the mechanics returned to their respective posts. Under the guidance of the director of the Messerschmitt plant, Li Lin and a group of high-ranking military officials left the factory where the roar began again.

Li Lin has never been an idler. He wouldn't have come to tell a few jokes just to spice up the working atmosphere in the arsenal, but he would have come here because of his work - as the supreme commander of the army, to check the progress of the army's new toys.

Only a very stupid and naïve baby would think that this resolute consul is here to boost morale at the grassroots level.

Historically, there have been two ways in which the weapons of the Defence Forces have been shaped.

First, Li Lin directly drew up drawings or provided weapons performance index parameters, which were tried, tested, and improved by the General Armament Department.

Second, the army itself put forward a request for a new weapon, giving a relatively loose index. Then let the design team of the General Armament Department and the Nibelungen Arsenal compete with each other to finally select the works that interest them.

In recent times, Li Lin's attention has increasingly turned to domestic and economic affairs, and the latter approach is gradually becoming mainstream.

In order to test all kinds of weapons, this arsenal far from the city is equipped with its own weapons test ground. It can make all kinds of light and heavy weapons devastated in extremely harsh environments. to verify performance and reliability.

Li Lin played with a strange-looking [rifle] and pulled open the chamber to check the internal structure.

"Is this a sample?"

In the midst of the crackling noise, Li Lin had to raise his voice a little. On the nearby shooting range, several similar-looking guns with different details were firing a series of long and short bursts, and the choking smoke and deafening noise tormented the visitors.

The director of the Messerschmitt plant approached and said loudly: "Yes, this is exactly the prototype gun that was made according to your prototype drawings. ”

Nodding, Li Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at the firearms that were being tested.

The rifles currently equipped by the Wehrmacht are hybrid semi-automatic rifles based on the G43 and Type 63, and in the process of use, the elves are satisfied with the table xiàn of the 7.92mm high-power rifle cartridge, but they also have some suggestions.

The 7.92mm rifle cartridge combined with the elf's excellent eyesight can indeed exert excellent long-range shooting ability, and in the battle with the [Scavenging Crow], some soldiers with good marksmanship can even dig holes in the hairy bear's head from 400 meters away without a scope! Mortars have a higher kill ratio than rifles, and the fact that the elves are sitting in pre-constructed fortifications in this engagement is not representative of the true field performance of semi-automatic rifles.

If the opposite is true, the elves are the ones attacking in the wild. When the elven infantry group charges, can the semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers have the same effect? In the future mechanized cluster assault, will this kind of firearm be able to meet the needs of the blitzkrieg high-speed and high-firepower assault?

In this regard, there is a question mark hanging in the heart of the military.

Another problem that cannot be ignored is that although the range and power of the 7.92mm bullet are amazing, its recoil is also very large, which is easy to cause shooter fatigue. The development of a new burst automatic rifle with this cartridge in the future will cause problems such as overweight construction, low ammunition carrying, and difficulty in maneuvering bursts.

In order to solve these shortcomings, the solution proposed by the military was to develop a 7.92mm caliber reduced version of the rifle cartridge, and then create an automatic rifle that could fire this bullet.

The report was submitted all the way to Li Lin, and the copycat gunsmith who ignored the copyright was still a little surprised by his keen sense of smell and advanced thinking, he didn't expect the army to propose to engage in intermediate power rifle cartridges and automatic rifles so quickly. However, as the situation of economic warfare gradually becomes clearer, he also intends to put this matter on the agenda and promote the military to accelerate the transformation in a direction that can meet the needs of the blitzkrieg. Since the army and his intentions coincide. The rest is much simpler.

First of all, Li Lin quickly [developed] a 7.92×43mm short bullet, and then this expert listed all kinds of assault rifles and automatic rifles in his head, and chose one of them to equip the elves according to his needs. (To be continued.) )
