As soon as Stuttenberg said these words, he stopped immediately, his face was like a cold wind that suddenly warmed and turned cold, and he looked quite serious, so that even his words had a cold feeling: "Mechanical equipment is not a problem, personnel is not a problem.

It can also be overcome with craftsmanship. The key lies in materials. Without high-strength alloy steel, even if the artillery is made, it will still be a pile of larger iron lumps.

So I think that if China wants to build its own industrial system, it must start from the foundation. At the very least, it must put the steel industry in a key position. After all, today's wars are fought with two things, the first is gunpowder, and the second

The second is steel, and now China can barely maintain a supply of ordinary cast iron, let alone high-performance alloy steel used in artillery manufacturing!"

After a pause, Stuttenberg's expression softened slightly, and his tone of voice was also somewhat helpless: "Of course, I also know that China, like Germany, is a country short of nickel, and nickel is used in alloy steel for guns.

Therefore, my suggestion is to take advantage of the close alliance between your country and the Soviet Union to reserve as many nickel ore rough stones as possible..."

Stotenberg is worthy of being a master of the military industry who experienced the baptism of World War II. He can see at a glance the problems of China's current military industry development. Combined with his rich practical experience, these words can be said to be a wise idea for the country.

This also made Bai Yi feel awe-inspiring. He was about to exchange some opinions with Stuttenberg on the issue of nickel ore and rare earths, but unexpectedly, Stuttenberg became interested and did not give Bai Yi a chance to speak.

, after talking about the artillery issue, he took the mg42 general machine gun and began to criticize more severely:

"The mg42 general-purpose machine gun can be manufactured with the technical strength of Baiyun Factory today, but the problem is that this gun is excellent, but it is a bottomless pit of ammunition. The US military jokingly calls it 'Hitler's Chainsaw', not because it looks like

Chainsaw, because when the mg42 fires at full speed, you can't hear the sound of ammunition being fired at all. It's so dense that it snaps like a chainsaw. With such a rate of fire, a two-hundred-round bullet chain will be used up in less than a minute.

If the volunteers on the Korean front line had the logistical supply capabilities of the German army during World War II, I would have nothing to say if they were equipped with this bullet-eating guy. But now, there are more than a thousand kilometers from the Yalu River to the current front line. Such a long supply line

, it can be said that it is full of loopholes in the face of the powerful air force of the US military.

To put it bluntly, for a ten-cent supply, if you can deliver one or two points, it is considered a blessing from God. Under such severe logistical support, high ammunition consumption equipment such as the mg42 general machine gun is not the enemy of your army at all.

It is a sharp weapon, but it backfires and becomes a heavy burden for your army!"

"this……"

"Dear Bo, I understand your desire for victory on the front line!" Bo Yi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Stuttenberg: "The students in the college are the same. They have a sense of urgency that time cannot wait for us.

But the more this happens, the easier it is to ignore objective laws.

Yesterday afternoon, after classmate Ma Dili listened to my lecture on the generation of V2 missile fuel agent, she asked me if I could make a few V2 missiles and hit them on the heads of the US troops confronting your army from here. If this is a primary school student's

Forget about the rhetoric, the key point is that they are all technicians engaged in military research and development, so they must be calm-minded and must not be fanatical, otherwise they will suffer big losses!"

Bai Yi was stunned by Stuttenberg's successive white grabs. He couldn't tell that this old expert with a deep sense of rigidity was criticizing him in a roundabout way for being hot-headed and taking too big a step and tearing his balls!

But the question is, what did you say that the mg42 general-purpose machine gun will be distributed to the Volunteer Army? And what did you say that the fh18 150mm howitzer and lefh18 105mm howitzer must be developed immediately?

"Wait...wait...Professor Stoutenberg, please wait!"

So before Stuttenberg prepared a long speech again, Bo Yi quickly waved his hands to stop Stuttenberg from talking. Bo Yi was afraid that this guy would steal all the lines, so without saying a word, he hurriedly fired a barrage of words.

Said: "The reason why the mg42 general machine gun is manufactured is not to equip the volunteers, but to find more effective accompanying support equipment for our battalion-level support firepower;

Although we have currently imported several heavy machine guns from the Soviet Union for the Korean War, you have also seen that they are not in line with the reality of our army in terms of weight, firepower or mobility. After all, the Soviet army has achieved mechanization.

Heavy firearms can be transported with vehicles. On the other hand, our army has not yet fully popularized the use of mules and horses, and mobility relies entirely on two legs.

Judging from the distribution of infantry firepower below the battalion level in our army in the next ten years, the gun family based on the Type 50 automatic rifle as the backbone, coupled with the No. 2 recoilless artillery, is enough to form the basic structure of the team's firepower, but the battalion and company level

The firepower is only mortars and No. 1 recoilless artillery, and the high-mobility heavy firepower firearms used for accompanying support are still lacking, so..."

"So, what you mean is that you want to develop a general-purpose machine gun that is suitable for the Chinese army based on the mg42 general-purpose machine gun?"

Before Bai Yi could finish what he said, Stuttenberg started the white-grabbing mode again. However, at this time, Bai Yi had to take a breath. There was no way, Barabala said so many words, if he didn't take a breath, he would really be beaten.

Choked to death.

But Bai Yi, who had recovered his breath, did not give Stuttenberg room to play again. He nodded and continued: "Not only general machine guns, but also artillery. Divisional artillery such as 105mm or 122mm is more suitable.

From a technical point of view, our army's needs are also in line with the current actual situation, but again, until our army's mobility capability is improved, lightweight artillery is still the most important indicator."

"But I still say the same thing. Without high-performance alloy steel, talking about developing artillery is empty talk!"

"You can put this in your stomach!" Bai Yi smiled mysteriously: "When you came to China, didn't you see that train of mining equipment?"

"I saw it! Didn't it say it was going to be used for mining open-pit coal mines? Why... is it for nickel mines?"

Stuttenberg nodded, but he was a little confused. But as he spoke, he saw Bo Yi smiling very meaningfully. A flash of enlightenment suddenly flashed in his mind, and then his eyes widened and he looked at Bo Yi in disbelief:

"You...you...you found nickel ore?"

"And rare earths!"

Although several Sino-Soviet joint exploration teams were struggling in the wilderness of Gansu and Inner Mongolia at this time, Bai Yi believed that it would not be difficult to find rare earths and nickel ores as long as he followed the small circles he defined, so he had nothing to do

Concealed the truth and reported it directly to Stuttenberg.

Hearing this, Stuttenberg looked excited and immediately became excited: "Not only are there nickel mines, but also rare earths? That's great, that's great. As long as it can be mined, I can guarantee that we will have it within three years.

Can refine high-performance alloys for your country

Steel, by then it will be no problem to manufacture imitation FH18 150mm howitzers and LEFH18 105mm howitzers. Haha, I said, Bo, why didn’t you tell me earlier? It made my heart beat almost faster than a jet engine.”

As Stutenberg spoke, he patted Bai Yi's shoulder hard, causing Bai Yi to smile bitterly: "You old man, how could you have given me a chance to say it earlier? Of course it's not too late to say it now, and I have to

To correct you, it is not imitation, but accumulation of experience for the short-term goal. This is the top priority..."
