100 Million Dollars!
To exchange for the M1 Garand Rifle, he needed 18,000 Reputation Points, which was not too much!
After taking care of the rifles, the next thing to consider was naturally the light and heavy machine guns and mortars. The Feng army was currently equipped with the most imitation of the ZB light machine gun, the Maxim heavy machine gun, and the imitation of the Japanese Taisho Type 11 light machine gun!
The imitation Japanese Taisho Type 11 light machine gun was also commonly known as the crooked one. This kind of gun was good to use, but the failure rate was too high. The Japanese's own ones were not good, not to mention the ones copied by the Fengtian Munitions Factory. They could gradually consider eliminating them, but the power of the Soviet light machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun was still great!
Especially the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun. Theoretically, it could fire 600 bullets in a minute, which was equivalent to 10 bullets per second. Moreover, the water-cooled gun body did not have to worry about the problem of overheating and exploding. In the first world, it was known as the Reaper of Death. In the Battle of the Somme River, it took only half a day to kill 60,000 British soldiers!
The small amount of Maxim Heavy Machine Guns that the Fengjun had purchased from Germany at a high price couldn't be manufactured on their own, mainly because they didn't have the blueprints. However, to Zhang Xuemin, exchanging for a Maxim Heavy Machine Gun blueprint wasn't a problem at all, it was only worth 50,000 reputation points!
After getting the blueprints for the Garand Rifle and Maxim HMG, Zhang Xuemin pretended that he had just taken them out of his briefcase. He walked out of the toilet and casually said,"Factory Manager Zang, these are two firearms blueprints that I designed some time ago. Can you see if our Fengtian Munitions Factory can produce them?”
"Blueprints?"
Zang Shiyi was stunned. In his memory, Zhang Xuemin had only spent a few days in the Army Military Academy, but he had no other military experience. When did he learn how to design blueprints?
And even when he was in the Army Military Academy, he learned infantry tactical command!
It had nothing to do with gun design!
Seeing the hesitation in Zang Shiyi's eyes, Zhang Xuemin snorted." What? You don't believe that I can design a gun blueprint?”
" I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It's just that the design of the gun is very complicated. This…"
Zang Shiyi mumbled submissively!
To put it bluntly, they didn't trust him. However, it was not surprising. In the 20s and 30s, let alone independently designing firearms blueprints, there was not even a military expert. Otherwise, all the factories wouldn't have copied the firearms of the Soviet Republic, Germany, and Japan!
" Ahem…" Zhang Xuemin knew what was going on and could only cough to cover up his embarrassment." Well…I'm a genius. I can design even the most complicated gun with just a glance. The Maxim HMG blueprint in here was designed after dismantling a HMG!”
Maxim Heavy Machine Gun Shooting Blueprint…
Zang Shiyi's eyes were filled with shock. He didn't even hear what Zhang Xuemin said after that. The only thing that kept echoing in his mind was Maxim's name!
Ever since he became the head of the Fengtian Munitions Factory, who knew how much he wanted a Maxim Heavy Machine Gun design blueprint!
He couldn't even buy it in Germany with 10 million yuan!
Flipping open the stack of design drawings that Zhang Xuemin had placed on the table, Zang Shiyi was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so thick, and it contained the detailed parts and raw materials drawings. Everything was drawn very neatly, and all the data was accurate to the millimeter. It included the surface plan and assembly drawings!
As for the design blueprint of the Garand rifle, he only took a few glances and could intuitively judge that the power of this rifle was definitely much stronger than the Liao Thirteen that the Feng army was using now. Moreover, the semi-automatic revolving locking bolt was like heaven and earth compared to the rotating recoil bolt!
The more Zang Shiyi looked, the more shocked he became!
He kept raising his head!
She stared at Zhang Xuemin in disbelief and murmured," Is there really a genius in this world who knows how to design a Maxim HMG just by dismantling it…This…"
If this was true, all the military weapons experts from various countries would have to commit suicide!
"How is it? Can it be produced?"
Zang Shiyi looked troubled and said carefully,"" Commander-in-chief, the Garand rifle you designed can be produced. We just need to make some adjustments to the processing machine. We can also mass produce it very quickly, but the Maxim heavy machine gun…"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the blueprint?"
"No, no, no!" Zang Shiyi hurriedly shook his head and explained," Although it hasn't been verified yet, from the blueprints, it's definitely possible to produce Maxim machine guns like this. However, our production line…can't do such precise processing…"
Zang Shiyi, who was in charge of the Munitions Factory's general office, felt extremely embarrassed that he had the blueprint but could not build it.
Xuemin frowned. The Maxim machine gun was extremely powerful on the battlefield, and purchasing it from Germany was even more expensive. If they could produce it themselves, the meaning would be completely different. The problem of upgrading the production line had to be solved as soon as possible!
"How much does the Munitions Factory allocate each year?”
"About 20 million yuan!"
"That's too little. I'll raise it to 100 million yuan!”
