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.
Zhang Jing 'an, 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.
The conventional artillery factory made Zhang Jing 'an speechless.
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However, other than the Type 92 Infantry Cannon, the Japanese's cannons were almost all outdated products of the same level.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."
Zhang Jingan nodded slightly and ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Zhenye immediately responded.
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, Zhang Jing 'an 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?”
Zhang Jing 'an 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 Zhenye reported in detail.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhang Jing 'an's face suddenly turned stiff.
Wang Shuhan, who was beside him, thought that Zhang Jingan 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 Zhang Jing 'an 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, Zhang Jing 'an 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.
Zhang Jing 'an directly asked Liu Zhenye the most crucial question.
What was that?
The two consecutive questions stunned Liu Zhenye.
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 rifled guns," Liu Zhenye said with some hesitation.”
"The caliber refers to the distance between two opposing Yang lines.”
With that, Zhang Jingan 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.”
Zhang Jing 'an shook his head and said solemnly.
In the future, the most widely used and used weapons were made in the United States, and the United States was the largest weapon 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.
The reason why the 7.92mm caliber was used was that there were some hidden tricks.
It was undeniable that Zhang Jing 'an had a better impression of Germany, and the possibility of cooperation between the two sides was higher.
It was precisely because of this that once the two overlords of the world were decided, the two overlords would definitely know the outcome.
If they used the same caliber of bullets, it would be easier for them to gain a relative advantage on the battlefield.
"If that's the case, I think it's still possible to change the caliber of the rifle.”
At this moment, Liu Zhenye suddenly said,""The difference between 7.62 and 7.92 isn't big.”
Hearing this.
Zhang Jing 'an's eyes lit up.
"How long do you need to modify 200,000 rifles?”
"If we have enough manpower, we can finish it within three months.”
After thinking for a while, Liu Zhenye gave Zhang Jing 'an a clear answer.
"Alright, except for the 11.43 submachine gun bullets, 9X19 pistol bullets, and 12.7 machine gun bullets.”
"All bullet production lines must be changed to 7.92.”
"At the same time, the rifles and light machine guns that will be produced in the future will all adopt this caliber.”
"Immediately arrange for someone to carry out the modification.”
"I will order people to pull all the rifles over later.”
Zhang Jing 'an gave the order without hesitation.
The Japanese were about to arrive in Liaoyang. All the troops had to be ready for battle.
These M1 Garand rifles needed to be equipped with the new army as soon as possible after the modification.
Therefore, he didn't have time to waste.
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Zhenye immediately responded.
