"What kind of gun is this?"

"pistol!"

"Nonsense, I asked about it from that model. Forget it, you like to hide your head and tail and pretend to be mysterious. I'm too lazy to ask you, I can understand it myself!"

The genius girl was completely attracted by the several gun pictures sent by Erya, and she lowered her head and carefully studied one picture after another.

Seeing that she was so addicted, Tang Dao did not urge her to walk out quietly and asked Erya to find the boss to add some refreshments and a pot of new tea. He picked up a collection of poems from the Republic of China brought by Erya and sat next to her.

In the past two months, he has either been fighting or on the road to fighting. His heart has never really relaxed, but today is a rare time gap, tasting tea, eating snacks, and reading.

More importantly, there is a young scientist who will shine in the future with him. It is estimated that few army colonels can get this treatment.

As for how long this leisure time can last, Tang Dao believes that it will take some time.

During the past half month, he was drawing every night, and only drew three weapons designs. Although the triangular barricade design is genius, the structure is the simplest and it was completed in half a night.

The other two weapons took him fourteen nights, but they were the two most important standard weapons he designed for all the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment in the future.

Both of these weapons come from designs more than ten years later. Even with the current abilities of the genius girl, they cannot be understood clearly in a short while.

But obviously, Tang Dao still underestimated the wisdom of the genius girl.

Within ten minutes, the genius girl pulled her eyes out of the last drawing and threw them to the other side of the table while drinking tea while looking at Tang Dao in the poetry collection.

Sensing being watched, Tang Dao raised his head and looked at the genius girl who was a little confused in his eyes. He smiled on his face: "Why, has the senior sister found the design flaws of these two types of guns?"

"No, although these two types of gun design styles are rough and have the characteristics of our northern neighbors, the design is perfect enough. In terms of light weapons performance, it is definitely one generation ahead of the current single-soldier guns between China and Japan." The genius girl shook her head.

It turns out that he is a great man! Just by looking at the drawings, Tang Dao can only give him a thumbs up in his heart.

For at least thirty years in the next year, most of China's weapon designs have not deviated from the style of its northern neighbors. The two guns drawn by Tang Dao were still designed from the mid-1950s, so naturally they have more traces.

"But I'm thinking about a question. Even if all our Chinese officers and soldiers take these advanced firearms, will they definitely win the war? The teacher said that the reason why the Japanese army was rampant and our army was defeated repeatedly is not the difference in guns, but the foundation of the industry of the two countries. The Japanese army was equipped with large-caliber artillery, but our army only had a few small cannons. This is the biggest gap in military strength between the two sides." A pain surged in the eyes of the genius girl.

What she said was that Tang Dao understood that no matter how excellent the two guns were, they were still in the category of light weapons and could not essentially change the strength of both the enemy and us.

The reason why she went to Germany to study in time and space was naturally influenced by this idea. She hoped to use what she learned to change the shortcomings of China's lack of heavy artillery.

"Senior sister, I understand what you mean. In the Battle of Shanghai, our army occupied the right time, place, and people, but still failed. The defeat was due to human disasters, but it was more due to lack of strength. For example, our army was far inferior to the Japanese invaders in terms of heavy firepower.

Our army will face the Japanese invaders in the future. This heavy firepower is still a hurdle that cannot be overcome. If you want to win, the military industry must develop heavy artillery, but the drawings I give you are all light weapons.

If, from the perspective of soldiers, developing new light weapons can strengthen the first-level and first-line firepower of battalions, companies, and platoons, that is what any army dreams of. And developing heavy firepower can determine the outcome of division-level, army-level and even legion-level wars. The last war that swept half of the world has shown that artillery is the god of war and the key to victory. Without artillery, there is no victory." Tang Dao squinted his eyes, buckled the table with his fingers, and replied.

"Yes! So, it is precisely because of this that I am very confused. The Jinling Institute had a fierce debate on the 150th heavy artillery project that day. Until the war broke out, there was no conclusion." The genius girl rubbed her hair hard, and her eyes turned red.

"Do you know Tang Dao? When I heard that on the front line, a Japanese invaders came down, the entire infantry platoon of our soldiers was wiped out. How much pain did my heart hurt?

The ancients often said that if the other person is to give him the other person, we will return him as much as the Japanese attack us, but we can't do it. In the Battle of Shanghai, we only had two 150-caliber heavy artillery regiments, but those were the only two heavy artillery regiments in the entire army in the country, while the Japanese also had larger caliber naval guns.

During the Battle of Shanghai, I don’t know how many Chinese men died under the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders! We so-called high-tech talents can only watch from behind, listening to the constant number of casualties coming from the frontline…”

Looking at this genius girl who was depressed because of self-blame, Tang Dao felt pity.

Of course, these are not her fault, nor even the entire scientific research community. If you want to make mistakes, you can only be the biggest names who keep making great benefits for their family.

It is precisely because of their personal desires that China has never truly unified in the more than 20 years after overthrowing the feudal dynasty. Infighting continues, and misses an extremely rare period of development, and is invaded by strong neighbors who have always coveted this fertile land.

But fortunately, China has never lacked excellent people who care about the world. They have ideals that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. They are willing to give everything they have for this land, just like the sad genius girl in front of them.

If you give all your efforts, you will gain something in the end!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is precisely because of such a group of people in China that one day finally straightened its backbone and declared to the Western powers with a deafening sound: "For hundreds of years, the era when Western invaders can occupy a few cannons on a coast in the east can be reborn."

"So, no matter how powerful the light weapon is, the Japanese invaders can still suppress us with heavy artillery, and the soldiers still suffer heavy losses. Perhaps, we should choose our direction again." The sad look on the genius girl's face was even heavier.

"Otherwise!" Tang Dao shook his head.

"First of all, our country's industrial foundation does not allow our army to give priority to the development of heavy firearms. Secondly, even if our country develops and can manufacture heavy weapons, senior sister, what should we do if our army's heavy artillery encounters an enemy's attack from the air?"

"Of course it's the plane to the plane." The genius girl hesitated and then shook her head in pain. "This is not OK, we have no aviation industry at all!"

The sadness in his eyes was already a bit more intense.

Without Tang Dao's answer, she actually already had the answer.

As a developer who turns his research direction to the military industry, the genius girl understands better than anyone else that although there is no heavy artillery, if you invest enough financial resources to purchase materials, China's current R&D capabilities can actually be copied. However, the aircraft is an extremely systematic mechanical product. It took the West 20 or 30 years to develop, and that is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

Even if China is trying to promote the whole country, the best way to do so is to buy it at the moment.

This data may be the clearest.

At the most critical moment in North China in 1937, the entire China was equipped with 296 fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, etc. After the war broke out, it once again purchased more than 1,200 aircraft from its northern neighbors. It sounded like a lot, but what about Japan? They owned the aircraft manufacturing industry and could build dozens of fighter jets every day. By the end of the war, they had up to nearly 40,000 fighter jets, and only one tenth of them were needed, which was several times that of China.

In the Battle of Shanghai, Tang Dao personally participated in, there were 290 to 3,000. Under the huge disadvantage of the number, the Chinese Air Force was bloody but could not turn the sky. I don’t know how many soldiers suffered from the Japanese bombing and roared towards the sky: “Where is our plane? Where are we going?”

All the planes were shot down.

It’s not that the pilot is not brave enough, but that it’s that the gap in strength is huge.

China's weak air force exchanged for dignity but failed to win.

"Is it impossible for us to develop artillery? We can only watch our soldiers be bombed?"

"Yes, if you lose your air superiority, all the heavy artillery on the ground will become medals on the chest of Japanese bomber pilots.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also logistical pressure. Our army's logistics is still in the initial stage of manpower and horse-drawn mule back. Even if there are a small number of cars, how many heavy artillery shells weighing dozens of kilograms can be sent to the hands of artillery during wartime? Will heavy artillery without shells be more useful than a rifle that can shoot bullets?" Tang Dao shattered the last trace of fantasy of the genius girl.

"As Professor Sun said, our army suffered consecutive defeats, not just artillery equipment, but overall industrial capacity. That cannot be changed by increasing efforts to develop heavy firearms."

"But, without planes and heavy artillery, what can we rely on to win this war? Is it just bravery and sacrifice?" The despair in the genius girl's eyes was swallowing up the previous sorrow.

The reason why she asked Tang Dao was that she hoped that Tang Dao, a soldier who had fought a strong battle, would point her direction in the lost direction of scientific research. The soldiers undoubtedly had the most say in weapons, but she did not expect that Tang Dao blocked the development of heavy firearms as soon as she started.

"It's not like that. Without planes and cannons, we may fail in the early stage, but that's temporary.

When the two countries fight in national war, what is the battle? Is it national strength? Yes, nor is it. I think it is more about the battle of war potential. In addition to national strength, there is also a competition between the willpower of two nations.

Looking at the thousands of years of history of our Chinese nation, even if we were ruled by foreign races at a special period, we are the ones who assimilated and overthrew them.

This time, no matter how many years we fight, I, and I, and I, and your students, believe that we must be the one who won the victory in the end, was our China." Tang Dao said with a loud and loud look.

"National will! The will of the Chinese nation!" The genius girl recited silently, and her desperate eyes gradually shining.

"This is also my original intention to vigorously develop light weapons. No matter whether one or multiple battles are lost or won, even if the country is occupied, as long as there are still people in China who are still alive, the war will not end and there are battlefields everywhere.

Unless they never go out of a house where they can dodge bullets, or they will be armed with live ammunition everywhere they go, otherwise, guns will be pointed at them and bullets will fly towards them.

In the whole of China, the whole nation is full of soldiers, and there is no need for guns or planes. Just waste it like this, and it can be a waste of life." Tang Dao's eyes were cold.

This is also what history has performed.

During the war, China may not have been like this in the whole country. It only did this in the guerrilla area. The result was that the Japanese army did not have enough scale and did not dare to leave the county seat. The Japanese in the artillery tower even dared not squat for too long, otherwise they would have to be shot and the sauts were still hot.

Perhaps, in addition to China's practice of this kind of war, the most proved of this kind of people's maritime war is the battle between elephants and rats fifty years later. The world's second-strong country faces people with only light weapons. Not only did the war drag down ten years, but it eventually completely defeated the economy of the world's second-strong country.

The will to resist never stop is a more powerful weapon than aircraft and cannons.

Listening to Tang Dao's remarks, especially the last sentence that was exhausted, the genius girl's almond eyes were once again bent into two new moons.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay! I understand what you said and agree with it, but we cannot be too ambitious for the time being!" The genius girl with a relaxed expression picked up the overall structure of a pistol and the design drawings of various decomposed components from the table, and said to the theoretical parameters written on Tang Dao:

"Look, the effective range is 100 meters, and the initial velocity of the bullet is 440 meters per second. This is the data that even the famous Browning 1911 pistol cannot reach. How dare you give it such great expectations?"

Tang Dao smiled slightly, "As long as you can make it, believe me, it will definitely be possible."

The black pistol that looks a bit 'honest' on paper will know the loud name that belongs to it if any gun lover from the future sees it.

Type 54 pistol!

Tang Dao, who is proficient in various Chinese and foreign guns, knows it very well.

As the first standard weapon to formally equip the troops after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future, it draws on the advantages of the Tokarev pistol of the fighting nation and fully considers the characteristics of Chinese soldiers' own styles, the Type 54 pistol that is more suitable for the hand shape of Chinese soldiers. It is definitely one of the best designs in China's military industry in that era.

The simple structure and not easy to damage make the Type 54 pistol suitable for most harsh environments, with a long range, strong penetration and great power. This is another reason why it is loved by Chinese soldiers.

Because its initial velocity of 440 meters per second after the borehole is able to penetrate 3 mm thick steel plates, 10 cm thick wooden boards, 6 cm thick brick walls, and 35 cm thick soil layer at a distance of 25 meters.

Compared to the Japanese, the turtle box Southern Fourteen pistols that may not kill a person after a magazine bullet, the 54 pistol can instantly kill them to the sky.

Such a gun will of course achieve stronger parameters than Browning 1911.

Moreover, the biggest reason why Tang Dao finally decided to make a large number of Type 54 pistols for use by the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment is that the structure of this pistol is simple and easy to manufacture.

If Tang Dao remembers correctly, there are enough senior brothers of the 18th Army, the TT1931 pistol, which is being used, and it should not be too difficult to get a few sample guns back.

With a sample gun, his own drawings and machine tools, Tang Dao believes that the elites led by the genius girl will definitely make trouble.

Of course, Tang Dao did not copy the design of this classic pistol as it was. The current environment is even worse than that of that period. In order to increase the lethality of the May Fourth pistol, Tang Dao Magic changed its ammunition compartment design and increased the ammunition volume from the standard 8 to 13. This is the ultimate that Tang Dao can do when balancing the performance of the gun, and its appearance is naturally not as coordinated as the original.

Just thinking about the 54th Style with a thirteen-round bullet cabin, if the equipment is on the soldiers under his command and before fighting with the Japanese invaders, each person will first pull out the pistol and shoot the bullets and then thrust the bayonets hard. Tang Dao's blood will be a little boiling, and he will no longer be his patent for one picking ten generals.

The Japanese... are afraid of such a Chinese who is not morally polite! They are thinking about what they do and want to miss us!

"I feel it! It's really a mistake for the teacher to not accept you. He will definitely appreciate your inexplicable confidence." The genius girl rolled her eyes.

"Where, I am confident in your senior sister!" Tang Dao also smiled.

“Is this praise?”

“Absolutely!”

"Then I'll accept it!"

"Because I must turn these designs on the drawings into reality, including the semi-automatic rifle that you didn't know from there, the drawings belong to me! Don't worry, I will keep it confidential."

After saying that, I put a few scrolls of pictures on the table into my own cloth bag, got up and went out: "In two days, I will list the list of materials I need and machine tools and equipment for you. I hope you can purchase them as soon as possible after you arrive at your destination."

"Okay!" Tang Dao's scalp was slightly numb.

This person is more resolute than he thought, that is, he is still in the stage of painting big cakes now. Not to mention that he has no money now, he is rich, where can he go to get a machine tool? Is this thing in the remote village in the north?

"Also, as an early investment for hiring me, a great engineer, I'd better settle the account, junior!" Before leaving, the round-faced girl smiled brightly.

Tang Dao cheated her, and she would not suffer any loss when she cheated Tang Dao, even if it was a small meal of tea! This was a small revenge from a woman who was only 21 years old.

However, the girl who boasted to stimulate Tang Dao did not know that in the future she would do great things that she had never thought of.

Not to mention asking Tang Dao to invite her to have tea and snacks, Chinese people all over the world would willingly call her when they saw her: "Hello, Professor He!"

Those who care about the world are destined to be great!
