Machine guns were more complicated to produce than rifles.
The machine gun factory had 12 workshops, and only the Maxim production line and the Frankberg production line could be modified quickly.
Maxim and Browning were both water-cooled machine guns, so their structures were not much different.
Like the Browning light machine gun, the Frankberg model had a magazine-type ammunition supply, so there was no problem in modifying the production.
On the other hand, the other two imitation machine gun production lines were simply tragic!
The Taisho Type 11 Light Machine Gun was known as a strange existence. It used a unique magazine in the world to supply ammunition.
The Taisho Type 30 Heavy Machine Gun was an air-cooled heavy machine gun that was modeled after the Hocheks M1914 Heavy Machine Gun.
Even if it could be changed, it would require a lot of effort.
"If the machine gun can be modified, then modify it. If it can't be modified, just dismantle it.”
After thinking for a while, Feng Xuan spoke coldly.
Instead of spending a lot of effort to rectify it, it was better to directly start from the United States…China purchases Browning production line.
For now.
There were definitely no similar Browning M2HH and FN-type machine gun production lines.
However, it was the same if he bought the Browning light and heavy machine gun production line.
It only needed to be debugged at certain specific links and could be put into production very quickly.
After this war, most of the property belonging to the Zhang family went to the City Defense Command. Feng Xuan did not lack money at all.
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Yu immediately replied.
Then, the group walked from the machine gun factory to the cannon factory and the mortar factory.
The mortar factory was fine. The mortars produced were basically the most advanced mortars in the world.
From 60 to 80, 150 to 210.
The only fly in the ointment was the lack of the mainstream heavy mortar.
To be honest.
The 210mm heavy mortar could not compare to the 105mm howitzer in terms of range and power.
However, its weight was not inferior to a field cannon.
Feng Xuan, who was well aware of the development of mortars in the future, directly banned the 210 cannons and added 120 cannons.
Other than the 80-forton mortar, only the 120-forton mortar could be used in the future.
This was because rocket launchers and rocket launchers had replaced some of the important positions of conventional artillery.
The reason why the 150-man army was not banned was that the Fengtian army could not be highly mechanized at this stage.
It was difficult to move large heavy artillery to other places, so they needed to strengthen the heavy firepower of the troops at the regiment level.
Feng Xuan was speechless at the sight of the conventional artillery factory.
It was unknown if the East Japan was the only country that would sell artillery production lines.
As a result, the Fengtian Munitions Factory was mostly a cannon production line for the Japanese.
However, other than the Type 92 Infantry Cannon, the Japanese's cannons were almost all outdated products of the same level.
If they were to fight with the Russians or the armies of other countries, they would be at a disadvantage.
"Pass down the order."
"In addition to the 37 flat-fire cannons, the 75 field cannons, 105 howitzers, and 150 howitzers will remain in the production line.”
"I will order someone to send a few American howitzers over later.”
"In the future, try to imitate the cannons in the arsenal... National artillery."
Feng Xuan nodded slightly and ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Yu immediately replied.
As a qualified military talent, he naturally knew that the Japanese's weapons and equipment were not good enough.
However, these people wanted to raise their opinions to the higher-ups, but unfortunately, they had always been ignored.
If they had purchased some cannons from other countries, they would not have to keep copying them... This cannon!
Now, Feng Xuan was willing to let them imitate the beauty... National cannons were naturally the best.
.......
Half an hour later.
Bullet Factory.
"How many bullet production lines are there?”
Feng Xuan frowned and asked directly.
"Commander."
"Currently, there are 40 production lines of 7.92, 7.62, 6.5, 11.43, 9X19, and 12.7.”
"The maximum production capacity can reach 4 billion rounds per year.”
Liu Yu reported in detail.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Feng Xuan's face stiffened.
Zang Shiyi thought that Feng Xuan was not satisfied with the production capacity, so he quickly added,""Marshal, as long as we have enough manpower, we can double our production.”
However, what he did not understand was that Feng Xuan was not dissatisfied with the production capacity.
Instead, it was a headache for the bullet factory to produce so many types of bullets at the same time.
7.92, 7.62, and 6.5.
Which country in the world did not have a unified weapon caliber?
Even Japan was no exception. Their guns all used 6.5mm small-caliber bullets.
More importantly, Feng Xuan now had 90,000 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles under his command.
The M1 Garand rifle used 7.62mm bullets, while the Fengtian Munitions Factory mainly produced 7.92mm bullets.
Once the three American Machinists went all out, there would be no place to replenish their ammunition.
Moreover, he had mastered the check-in system, not the mall system.
All the check-ins depended on luck. At least, there were no bullets that were specially obtained from the check-in.
"Liu Gong, can the caliber of these bullets be changed on the production line?”
"Can a fully manufactured rifle be changed?”
In an instant.
Feng Xuan asked Liu Yu the most crucial question.
What was that?
Liu Yu was stunned by the two consecutive questions.
Changing the caliber of the bullet production line and changing the caliber of the rifles that had already been produced.
This kind of question involved a lot of technical knowledge.
"Marshal."
"The bullet production line only needs to adjust some parameters to produce bullets of another caliber.”
"But it's a little difficult to change the caliber of a rifle that has already been produced.”
"Modern firearms are basically all rifled guns," Liu Yu said with some hesitation.”
"The caliber refers to the distance between two opposing Yang lines.”
Feng Xuan roughly understood.
In fact, the lines inside the gun barrel had already been ground. These lines determined the caliber of the bullet.
If he wanted to change the caliber, he would have to change the lines, but how could these lines be changed so easily?
"Commander, are you thinking of using 7.62mm bullets?”
"No, I want to use 7.92mm bullets.”
Feng Xuan shook his head and said solemnly.
In the later generations, the most widely used and used weapons were American weapons. China was the largest arms export country.
But now, the weapons with the largest number of users and the largest area were made by Great Britain because they were the world's number one overlord.
However, the most popular weapons in the Yanhuang market were still Germanic weapons.
Therefore, the rifles copied by the Dragon Country's arsenal basically used 7.92mm bullets.
Of course, bullets with a larger caliber were more powerful and more expensive.。
