Czech light weapons are quite good, and the caliber is exactly the same as that of Germany. Although the firepower sustainability of zb26 light machine gun is not high, it is also a light machine gun after all.

The expansion speed of the German army is quite fast. Although the elite troops in the front line can be equipped with advanced tanks and become armored divisions, the equipment of the second line troops is very poor. They still take Mauser 98K rifle as the main force. It is very good to equip this machine gun to the second line troops.

On the other hand, this gun should also continue to be exported, especially in China. Now the war of resistance against Japan is in full swing, a large number of weapons are needed, and Germany also needs Chinese resources. At this time, of course, the production of this gun cannot be stopped.

Over the years, transactions between Germany and China have been going on. German weapons are exported to China in exchange for various resources needed by Germany.

"In addition to this light machine gun, the Brno factory will also produce our more advanced weapons." "This includes our MG34 light machine guns, as well as our 6.8mm submachine guns and bullets," hirek said

Now, after many experiments, this new 6.8mm submachine gun has been finalized. Its overall structure is very similar to the AK series rifles of later generations. With simple and reliable structure and low failure rate, it has finally entered the stage of mass production.

Now, this submachine gun is officially named mp38 submachine gun, which is completely different from the submachine gun in history.

After being equipped in the army, this weapon has been welcomed at once. The gap of weapons is quite large. Relying on the domestic light weapons manufacturers in Germany, it can not meet the production demand at all. Therefore, it must be put in the Czech Republic for mass production!

After all, the Czech Republic is the second largest military factory in the world. Coupled with the Czech production, it is enough to organically replace the existing Mauser rifles in the army. At least the elite troops in the front line should be replaced first.

After the large-scale promotion of this submachine gun, the number of bullets required will also increase geometrically.

In addition to Germany's production line, which has begun to produce 6.8 mm bullets, as the second largest military industry country, of course, it should also fully switch to 6.8 mm bullets.

At the same time, we should also keep one production line of 7.92mm bullets. After all, machine guns, Mauser rifles used by second-line and snipers are still 7.92mm bullets.

"I have an idea." Looking at the most famous military experts in Europe, Chirac said, "can our bullets be replaced by steel?"

The cartridge case and warhead of the bullet are made of copper. Although copper is no longer used as currency, it is also a relatively precious metal.

After intervening in the Spanish Civil War, Germany also gained a lot of benefits. For example, the minerals in Spain are almost monopolized by Germany, the most important of which is the Rio Tinto copper mine. With the minerals of this copper mine, Germany doesn't have to worry about the output of copper for the time being.

However, there are many places needed, such as bullets.

The bullets of this era are all made of copper. The warheads and casings are all made of copper.

The main reason is that copper has good mechanical properties.

When the bullet is fired, it will rub with the chamber and barrel, and there are rifling in the gun. If it is hard metal, it may get stuck and explode the chamber directly, or it will wear a lot on the barrel and be scrapped after a few rounds. Compared with the gun body, copper is much softer and can be fired smoothly.

Moreover, it is easier to pull out the shell after firing, which is more important for automatic rifles.

Secondly, the ductility of metal copper is also relatively good, which is convenient for making bullet casings and warheads. At the same time, copper has a certain strength and can withstand the huge impact force that bullets need to bear when firing.

Finally, copper is not easy to rust, which is also an advantage.

However, this is copper after all! Now, with the use of fully automatic weapons, the consumption of bullets will increase greatly. To meet the needs of imperial expansion, it is necessary to find suitable and cheap alternatives.

For example, use steel instead!

Shrek looked at the surprised eyes of the people below and continued his topic. What he wanted to talk about was China's steel core copper-clad and painted ammunition.

At present, copper continues to be used for production, but research should also be carried out to strive to replace a large amount of copper with steel as soon as possible.

Of course, it cannot be completely replaced. At least the warhead has a steel core inside and must be coated with copper outside.

The technicians below were silent. Only after a long time did one speak: "in this case, I'm afraid it will increase the risk of jamming."

The reliability of a gun is the most important. If the bullet jams, it is the consequence of death for the soldiers who use it. The increase in the rate of gun jams is a considerable accident.

"I believe that through the efforts of our technicians, the problem of high jamming rate will be solved." "Now, the base camp has a plan. If this bullet is successfully developed, it will give all technicians the identity of a holy Aryan," hirek said

In later generations, China used this kind of bullet, and I haven't heard much complaints from the army. Therefore, the jamming rate is not high. At the same time, this kind of bullet is powerful and much cheaper. The cost of five steel core copper coated and painted ammunition is equal to that of one all copper cartridge case.

Hitler's original speech was quite successful. Many people wanted to become a holy Aryan. Just as the peaceful people were promoted to nobility, it was better to use this stimulus than money.

Sure enough, all the technicians showed their vision in their eyes, and Reinhart's brainwashing operation was also very successful.

Hilrick inspected Skoda for three days. The first two days he mainly inspected the arsenal, and the third day he was in the automobile factory.

Skoda is a weapons factory, but it is also an automobile factory.

Mlada Boleslav factory is a factory specializing in the production of cars. When Shrek came here, he inspected their cars, and Shrek kept shaking his head.

"The production here is too backward. We must rectify it immediately and adopt the operation mode of assembly line." Hilrick looked at the noisy workshop with workers' manual equipment. He was very dissatisfied with it.

"The models produced now are too backward. We have fully introduced our ten ton truck production line to fully produce our most advanced cars in Germany."

A few tanks are not enough for mechanized troops, but cars are more important! If there is no logistics supply, the tank in front is a pile of scrap iron! The Soviet Union was able to support such a huge tank force in World War II, which was the result of the United States supporting hundreds of thousands of cars.

The domestic Ford ten ton car is quite advanced. We should fully produce this kind of car, and the output must be increased!
