"Officer Zhou, I can understand the machine gun blueprint you gave me.”
"It's just that understanding it is one thing, but if you really want to operate it,"
Li Chenggan had a difficult expression on his face as he continued to speak.
"Forget it, I can't explain it clearly. I'll take you to the machine gun factory to take a look.”
Immediately after.
He held the Browning Light and Heavy Machine Gun blueprint in his hands.
Li Chenggan led Zhou Weiguo and the rest to the machine gun factory.
There were a total of six workshops.
The machine gun factory was even clearer. There were only two production lines.
6 lines of light machine guns and 6 lines of water-cooled heavy machine guns.
Zhou Weiguo immediately understood.
The production of machine guns was more complicated than that of rifles.
The machine gun factory had six workshops, Maxim production line, and the Soviet production line.
They 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 it was not a problem to modify and produce it.
"If the machine gun can be modified, then modify it. If it can't be modified, just dismantle it.”
After some thought, Zhou Weiguo said decisively.
Anyway, he had signed in and obtained the entire Skoda Munitions Factory.
Instead of spending a lot of effort to modify it, it was better to directly materialize it later.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Chenggan immediately replied.
Then, the group walked from the machine gun factory to the cannon factory and the mortar factory.
Just as he had expected.
Most of the Jinling Munitions Factory had been moved away by Baldy, so they could barely make 82 mortars.
The artillery was even more tragic.
They had production line facilities, but they could not build an effective production line.
However, Zhou Weiguo was not dissatisfied.
Just the ability to produce the SZT-40 semi-automatic rifle was enough for the Jinling Munitions Factory to live up to Zhou Weiguo's expectations.
.......
Half an hour later.
Bullet Factory.
"How many bullet production lines are there?”
Zhou Weiguo frowned and asked directly.
"Reporting to Officer Zhou."
"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 3 billion rounds per year.”
Li Chenggan reported in detail.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhou Weiguo's expression changed slightly.
Li Chenggan, who was beside him, thought that Zhou Weiguo was not satisfied with the production capacity, so he quickly added.
"Officer Zhou, as long as we have enough manpower, we can double the production capacity.”
However, he did not know that it was not Zhou Weiguo who was dissatisfied with the production capacity.
It was just that the bullet factory was producing so many types of bullets at the same time. It was a headache.
7.92, 7.62, and 6.5.
Which country in the world did not have a unified weapon caliber?
Even the Japanese were like this.
Uniform weapon caliber, using 6.5mm small caliber bullets.
More importantly…
Zhou Weiguo currently had 90,000 SVS-40 semi-automatic rifles under his command.
The SVS-40 semi-automatic rifle used 7.62mm bullets.
The main production of the Jinling Munitions Factory was 7.92mm bullets.
Once the three German Machinists went all out, they would not be able to keep up with the ammunition supply.
The main reason was that Zhou Weiguo controlled the check-in system and could not obtain weapons and equipment specifically.
All the sign-ins depended on luck.
To be able to get a single item like a bullet, it still depended on luck.
"Li Gong, is there a way to change the caliber of these bullets?”
"Can we change the rifles that have already been produced?”
After thinking for a while, Zhou Weiguo still proposed his idea to Li Chenggan.
What was that?
The two consecutive questions made Li Chenggan slightly stunned.
"Officer Zhou.
Changing the caliber of the bullet production line and changing the caliber of the rifles that had already been produced.
The technical problems involved in this kind of problem were very difficult.”
"The bullet production line only needs to adjust some parameters to change the caliber of the bullets produced.”
"However, the difficulty of changing the caliber of a rifle that has already been produced will increase exponentially.”
"Modern firearms are basically rifled guns." Li Chenggan said with some difficulty.”
"The caliber refers to the distance between two opposing Yang lines.”
With that said, Zhou Weiguo had an idea.
In fact, the lines inside the gun barrel had already been polished.
These lines determined the caliber of the bullet.
If he wanted to change the caliber, he had to change the lines.
However, how could it be so easy to change the lines that had already been produced?
"Officer Zhou, are you thinking of using 7.62mm bullets?”
"No, I want to use 7.92mm bullets.”
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and spoke solemnly.
In the later generations, the most widely used and used weapons were American weapons.
America was the largest arms export country.
But now, the weapon that was used by the most people and covered the most area was made by Great Britain.
Because they were the world's number one overlord.
However, Germanic weapons were the most popular weapons and equipment in the Yan Huang market.
Therefore, the rifles copied by the Yan Huang Munitions Factory basically used 7.92mm bullets.
Of course, bullets with a larger caliber were also more powerful.
The reason why the 7.92mm caliber was used was that there were some hidden tricks.
Zhou Weiguo indeed had a good impression of Germanic.
In the future, the possibility of deep cooperation between the two sides could not be ruled out.
Because of this.
Once the two overlords of the world were decided, the two overlords would definitely turn against each other.
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 difficult to change the caliber of the rifle, but it's not impossible.”
At this moment, Li Chenggan suddenly said,""The difference between 7.62 and 7.92 isn't that huge.”
Hearing this.
Zhou Weiguo's eyes flashed with surprise as he asked immediately.
"How long will it take to change the calibers of 90,000 rifles?”
"The production line is sufficient, but the number of workers is insufficient.
At full speed, it would probably take about 10 days.
The number of modifications per day was at most a few thousand.”
After thinking for a while, Li Chenggan gave Zhou Weiguo a clear answer.
"Alright, I'll do it.
Other than the 11.43 submachine gun bullets, the 9X19 pistol bullets, and the 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.”
"In addition, I have a surprise for Li Gong.”
Without any hesitation, Zhou Weiguo gave the order.
The Japanese were about to arrive at Mount Zhijin. All the troops had to be prepared for battle.
After the modification of the SZT-40 semi-automatic infantry, he needed to arm the new army as soon as possible.
It was true that the Jinling Munitions Factory lacked workers and equipment.
However, Zhou Weiguo signed with a top arsenal like Skoda.
Especially after materializing it, due to the uniqueness of the Munitions Factory's sign-in.
No one would doubt the origin of the Munitions Factory. They would subconsciously think that it was an Munitions Factory that originally existed in Jinling.
Once the Jinling Munitions Factory and Skoda Munitions Factory were merged…
Even Zhou Weiguo could not imagine the production capacity of the new arsenal.
After all, it started from 1920 to 1939.
The Skoda Munitions Factory was developing very quickly.
The weapons and equipment produced were very advanced, far ahead of other countries and ranked first in the world.
