As soon as the old factory director finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
After all, the signature products of the Red Star Machinery Factory were various light weapons, including rifles, machine guns, etc. Not to mention the adults present, even these young children were no strangers!
"But I have to say that these three things are indeed very similar to sniper rifles, machine guns, and revolvers."
"It's just that they're all oversized."
"So Director, what exactly is this?"
Finally, the technical section chief stood up, walked over and carefully looked at the things on the drawings for a moment, and couldn't help but ask Wang Ye, but he was very sure that what Wang Ye said about special fire-fighting equipment was pure nonsense. , this must be a weapon!
It's just that they are some new weapons that I have never seen before!
"I just said what you said."
"This is the special fire-fighting equipment provided by our fire patrol aircraft!"
Faced with the technical section chief's question, Wang Ye said with a smile, then lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of smoke, then suppressed the joking expression on his face, coughed lightly, and said seriously:
"Let's make a digression and talk about light weapons in modern warfare."
Hearing what Wang Ye said, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became serious. It was obvious that Wang Ye's digression was the serious talk. Under everyone's gaze, Wang Ye said seriously:
"The general caliber of the light weapons currently equipped by our army is 7.62 mm."
"Internationally, this is also one of the most common calibers."
"But since the end of the South Vietnam War, led by the United States, small arms around the world have begun to shift towards smaller calibers, such as 5.54 caliber."
"Using a small caliber will inevitably reduce the armor-piercing ability of the bullet, but it will also bring two advantages that cannot be ignored and are even very important."
"First, reducing the caliber can reduce the weight of bullets to a certain extent and greatly increase the number of bullets carried by individual soldiers. The increase in the number of bullets will double the firepower output and fire suppression."
"This point, in the South Vietnam Counterattack, how much our 56 Chong was loved by the soldiers compared to the 56 semi-automatic has already explained everything."
"Second, reducing the caliber can increase the stopping effect of the bullet and greatly improve the lethality."
"Especially for units without body armor and armor protection, better stopping effect can quickly make the enemy lose the ability to resist after being injured, which is crucial."
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the old factory director nodded and said seriously:
"Yes! In the past, the Japanese's 38-meter cover had too strong penetrating power and insufficient stopping power. Once a hole was made, it could not hit the fatal position, and it did not affect the combat effectiveness at all."
"I even took a shot in the leg, but it didn't hit any bones, and it didn't affect the charge!"
After the old factory director finished speaking, Wang Ye nodded and continued:
"Leave aside whether the development trend of this small-caliber weapon is correct or not. Today I will discuss another angle, which is the form of war!"
“What should infantry combat look like in the future?”
Faced with this question raised by Wang Ye, most of the people present looked at each other. They were all engaged in military industry, not warfare, and they actually didn't know much about these military fields.
Wang Ye, on the other hand, said to himself:
"During World War II, American soldiers consumed an average of 25,000 rounds of ammunition for every enemy they killed."
"By the time of the South Vietnam War, this number had increased to 50,000 rounds!"
"As for us, since the Anti-Japanese War, due to the small number of arsenals in the rear and the heavy reliance on captured weapons and ammunition, the soldiers cherish bullets very much. In the Hundred Regiment Operation, every 28 bullets can destroy an enemy!"
"And during the Peninsula War, for every American soldier killed, we needed to consume 4,700 rounds of ammunition!"
Hearing these numbers read out by Wang Ye, the expressions of everyone present became more and more shocked, because they had never been exposed to these data before, and what they heard was even more shocking!
They say one bullet makes one enemy, but in fact only certain snipers can do that in certain battles!
"So, I thought, anyway, killing an enemy requires a lot of bullets."
"Does the caliber of the bullet matter? I don't think it matters! But how to kill the enemy efficiently is the most important thing!"
"Need long-range sniping? Are you afraid that small bullets can't kill people? Why not try this? It has a range of up to two kilometers and an explosion radius of ten to fifteen meters. Are you worried that you can't kill people?"
"What kind of firepower point? What kind of bunker? If one of these fires hits, everyone will die!"
"Need to suppress medium and long-range firepower? Look at this. It is fed by a belt. The maximum rate of fire is 300 to 500 rounds per minute. Each one has the power of a grenade. The effective range is 1,500 meters. Is it enough?"
"Need fire support at close range? The revolver can do the job, da da da da da da! The other side will definitely die!"
"Dolly! And he's not afraid of hiding in the trenches on the other side!"
"Hahaha!"
When Wang Ye's laughter rang out in the conference room, everyone present felt a cold sweat on their backs. They imagined the scene described by Wang Ye and felt that there was no possibility of survival!
"cough!"
Then Wang Ye coughed lightly, then knocked on the blackboard and said:
"Of course, let's get back to business."
"This is serious fire-fighting equipment. The warheads are filled with fire-fighting powder."
"When the time comes, this thing will be used according to combat... ah! According to the fire protection requirements, the customer will install it on the fire patrol aircraft and cruise at a position of 1,500 meters."
"It's just tug tug tug at the point of fire. I think it's very beautiful! Hahahahaha!"
"The fire on the ground can only be stared at! Hahahahaha!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, everyone present could not help but imagine the scene again. Soldiers on the ground holding rifles were helpless against a target 1,500 meters high. Even ordinary rocket launchers could not hit it!
As for anti-aircraft guns, they probably don’t exist in Africa. If they do exist, it wouldn’t be a loss if they died!
The people above can use these weapons unscrupulously to bombard the ground, and finally leave in a whimper. This is the suppression from the equipment!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Director, you are such a fucking genius!"
"I, Lao Zhang, admire you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the production section chief who was sitting there couldn't help laughing. His excitement was beyond words, and he walked up to Wang Ye and lit a cigarette for Wang Ye.
Wang Ye was not polite, he sat on it and smoked a cigarette and said:
"In the past few days, a group of people have been separated to produce these three products for me."
"With the equipment in our factory, I don't think there is any difficulty in doing this!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, there was a chorus of responses from below. At this moment, Wang Ye noticed that the old factory director looked quite troubled, as if he was thinking about some complicated issue.
Immediately, Wang Ye quickly lit the old factory director's cigarette pot and asked at the same time:
"What are you always worried about? Worried about sales? Worried about selling goods?"
Facing Wang Ye's concern, the old factory director waved his hand and said with a wry smile:
"Why should I worry about all this? With you, I can rest assured!"
"I just......"
Having said this, the old factory director pointed in the direction of the south, then sighed and said:
"The south is not peaceful yet. I was thinking, how great would it be if the soldiers on the front line could be equipped with this kind of weapon?"
The old factory director's words made the atmosphere in the entire conference room heavy. Although China as a whole is peaceful now, there are still smoke and wars in some places in the south.
"In this case, I will give a report to Director Liang. After all, he is still our boss."
"But before he comes, we have to get the sample out, and then let him decide whether to report it to the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense!"
In fact, Wang Ye had already considered this issue, but Wang Ye didn't want to raise it himself. He was originally planning to beat around the bush, but now that the old factory director has become his mouthpiece, of course Wang Ye has no objection!
In an instant, the old factory manager beamed!
