Fang Zida's doubts made Chen Wei laugh.

"Yes, this rifle is indeed not perfect, but where is there a perfect rifle in the world?" Chen Wei said, and explained the main reason why he chose Mosin Nagant.

The Mosin Nagant rifle has a simple structure, especially the small parts of the bolt. Although it looks rough and has a slow shooting speed, it has a stable ballistic trajectory, high accuracy, and great power. From the perspective of production or the use of ordinary soldiers, it is more suitable for squadrons.After all, China's military industry, especially the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau Firearms Factory, as an ordnance expert, Chen Wei is very aware of the level of technicians, and it is better to choose the Mosin Nagant than to guard against the fine Mauser and Enfield rifles.

After listening to the explanation, Fang Zida nodded, thinking that the old Maozi's ordnance is indeed the case. Although the workmanship is not very good, but the structure is simple and durable. Otherwise, those terrorists will love the AK system so much after a hundred years?It does seem to have a reason.

As for the caliber, due to the 7.62mm used by the Tsarist Russia’s Mosin Nagant rifle, Chen Wei suggested changing it to 7.92mm when imitating it. First, it can increase the lethality and range again. Second, it is also considering that most of the weapons currently used in China use Most of them are 7.92mm bullets, such as German rifles, made in Hanyang and the like.

For this suggestion, Fang Zida readily accepted, and discussed with Chen Wei the modification of the Mosin Nagant rifle with great interest.Although Fang Zida didn't know much about ordnance, his foresight and insight were unmatched by Chen Wei. When he saw a Mosin Nagant 1891 rifle that Chen Wei took from the armory, he listened to Chen Wei talking about the real thing. While explaining, he gave his suggestion.

Caliber adjustment is one of them. Regarding the bayonet assembly, Fang Zida picked up the flat bayonet like a dagger and fiddled with it for a while. He decisively suggested whether Chen Yu could adopt the foldable type and install it directly under the rifle. The bayonet style was also changed from the dagger type to a powerful one. Mitsubishi type.For this suggestion, Chen Weiwei praised it loudly after thinking about it. The Mitsubishi bayonet is far more lethal than the dagger type, and it is also convenient to process. After being folded, it is also convenient for soldiers to use quickly in changing battlefield situations.

As for other details, Fang Zida also gave some suggestions, some of which Chen Wei adopted, while others shook his head and thought it was inappropriate.Fang Zida wasn't angry either. After all, Chen Wei was the expert, and it was up to him to determine how to imitate.

While discussing, he took a piece of paper to write and draw, and soon Chen Wei came up with a preliminary imitation blueprint.However, looking at the drawings that had already taken shape, he hesitated.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?" Fang Zida asked puzzled.

Chen Wei shook his head: "There is no big problem with imitation, the key is what to do with the authorization from Russia?"

"Authorization? What kind of authorization do you want?" Fang Zida asked in surprise.

"How to make it without authorization?"

Fang Zida couldn't laugh or cry, this Chen Yu is really a nerd: "I said Mr. Le Shu, you are too gentleman, do you still have to spend money to buy their authorization? The country's finances are not rich, and money is used everywhere. This money What's wrong with using it, and giving it to the old man for nothing? In my opinion, it doesn't matter what he authorizes or not, we will make ours after we finish it, and don't care about them!"

"Ah! Is this okay too?" Chen Yu opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

Patting him on the shoulder, Fang Zida smiled and asked if there was any problem with the imitation. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately decided to build it. Regardless of Sanqi 21, he built it himself first. All the consequences will be borne by him, Fang Zida, and Chen Wei just needs to pretend that he doesn't know anything.

In the end, the hesitant Chen Wei was persuaded by Fang Zida.Looking at this ordnance expert who looked more like a scholar than a soldier, Fang Zida secretly laughed.Who in this world cares about patent licensing?Patents are something to guard against gentlemen but not villains. Above all interests, long live doctrine!Even in the world a hundred years later, copycats are rampant everywhere, but nothing happens.

Then, Fang Zida talked about other ordnance. The most important weapons for infantry are rifles, machine guns, and cannons. The rest are supplemented by grenades, mines, etc., which solve the problem of rifles. The next thing is these. The history of grenades is earlier than the appearance of rifles. , As early as the Southern Song Dynasty in China, similar weapons appeared. In the 15th century, grenades filled with black powder officially appeared in Europe. By the middle of the 17th century, grenades emerged as special weapons on the battlefield, and specially trained grenadiers appeared.

In order to make up for the lack of individual firepower of the squadron, Fang Zida felt that mass production of grenades was a good direction.In the depths of his memory, the scene of overwhelming grenades thrown at the little devil is particularly deep. It can be said that grenades have always been a great weapon for the Japanese to defend against foreign enemies. How can such a good thing be let go?

As for hand grenades, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau also has some production, but the output and models have been intermittent, and it has not attracted attention.So far, Fang Zida decided to use the German wooden handle grenade as a sample, and the ordnance factory will set up a grenade production line in the future as standard equipment for the army.

As for the machine gun, Fang Zida didn't have much choice for this thing, so he still adopted Chen Wei's method of continuing to imitate Maxim.However, I believe that after the adjustment of the manufacturing process and the increase in the output of machine guns, the combat effectiveness of a large number of troops equipped with Maxim will be completely different from before.

As for cannons, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Jinling Ordnance Institute have imitated them, but the quality and workmanship of the steel are limited, and the imitated cannons are not satisfactory.After thinking about it, Fang Zida turned his brains around, took a piece of paper and drew a simple shape, and then asked Chen Wei if this thing could be made.

"This is?" Chen Yu tilted his head and looked at the picture, asking in confusion.

"Small cannon!" Fang Zida laughed and said, "This thing is about the same length as a rifle. You see, the tube on the top is thicker, and the caliber is estimated to be less than 50mm. It can be fired with special grenades, and sometimes it can be fired directly with oval grenades. , do you think it can be done?"

Frowning for a while, Chen Yu pointed to a few places and asked a few questions, and Fang Zida searched his memory to answer them one by one.

"Isn't this a small mortar? No wonder it looks so familiar to me!" Chen Yu said excitedly, slapping his thigh.

"Can it be done?"

"Why not! This thing is not complicated, of course it can be done!" Chen Yu said, dancing, "I didn't say anything, I can make a sample in a few days, and I will try it when the time comes. Hmm... this thing It’s not heavy, if you can walk alone, as long as you can shoot far and accurately, it’s definitely a good thing! Zhang Ming, your idea is really good! Good! Good!”

Of course, this is a grenade, and this thing was invented by the little devil.This kind of individual weapon between a cannon and a grenade is definitely a good thing for the current squadron, and even in a few decades, it will still be a battlefield weapon.

"What else do you have in mind, hurry up! Tell me!" Fang Zida's grenadier made Chen Wei very excited. He didn't expect that Fang Zida, who didn't know anything about ordnance, could come up with such a weapon. He couldn't help but pull him to insist Think more about a few weapons.

Fang Zida couldn't laugh or cry for Chen Mu's enthusiasm, didn't he know how much ink he had in his stomach?The Mitsubishi bayonet is associated with the Mitsubishi scraper, which is a big killer in folk hooligan fights, and the grenadier is from the anti-Japanese movies. Besides these, Fang Zida, who had never even participated in militia training, had never seen any weapons before, and what did he know? ordnance?Seeing Chen Wei's excited face, Fang Zida couldn't refuse, so he could only think hard.

In the end, he had no choice but to draw a strange blueprint for Chen Wei from memory, and cheekily said it was his own idea, and asked Chen Wei to see if he could study it.

"Rocket launcher", also known as Katyusha rocket launcher, was an invention of the Soviet Union.Fang Zida's drawing can be said to be just a rough idea. He gestured to Chen Wei for a long time, and with this plausible drawing, Chen Wei understood what this weird thing was.

"Oh...it's a swarm of bees."

"A swarm of bees?" Now it was Fang Zida's turn to be dumbfounded. What kind of strange name is this?Could it be that Chen Wei has seen a rocket launcher before?

After Chen Wei explained with a smile, Fang Zida realized that there were such similar weapons in China as early as the Ming Dynasty.A swarm of bees is a multiple-shot rocket, packed in a special wooden barrel, the barrel is long cylindrical, with a large top and a small bottom, with a second layer of arrow grille inside, a fire door on the side, and a piston on the top.After the gunpowder is ignited, the rocket surges out like a swarm of frightened bees and shoots towards the target, so it is called "swarm of bees".

"no……."

Fang Zida was dumbfounded. The ancestors who have been working on this thing for a long time were actually invented by the Chinese themselves?Fortunately, Lao Maozi claimed that the rocket launcher was their pioneering work?In fact, the Chinese had this kind of thing hundreds of years ago, but it has not been improved, and this old man has a really thick skin...Thinking of this, Fang Zida took a sip of the old man's shamelessness, and hurriedly asked if it was possible to make a real rocket launcher in this way?
