Chapter 371

Wesley paused and then continued: "rapid fire guns are the trend of future development. I don't think anyone will object to this. My arsenal has developed a series of new guns."

Wesley constantly launched the products of his factory, which made the president cry and laugh. The key is that the U.S. military needs too little. Isolationism is now the most popular stage. How many people are there in the U.S. Army now?

Before they could speak, Wesley waved his hand directly, and the Arsenal workers brought three mortars. Wesley pointed to the smallest one and said: "60mm mortar is light and simple. It is most suitable for platoon level combat units. Each infantry platoon carries one, which can ensure long-range fire support. Especially today, when I talk about the new war mode, this kind of curved artillery can attack the trenches and accurately remove the enemy's machine gun fire."

Then he pointed to the other two doors, "80mm is suitable for company level combat units and 120mm is suitable for battalion level combat units. In this way, the firepower below battalion level is four kinds of guns and three kinds of mortars. The firepower delivery density per unit area is definitely ahead of the world and suitable for attacking enemy positions. With this kind of grenade, everything is perfect."

Wesley picked up a grenade from the desktop at this time. This is a MK2 grenade imitated by Wesley. "The pull ring needs to be pulled off before throwing, and after throwing it out, the safety pin on it will fall off. It will explode five seconds after falling off, which is safe and reliable."

Wesley directly pulled off the pull ring and threw it forward. His arm strength threw 150 meters directly. Then the grenade exploded, which surprised everyone. The single kill radius of this grenade was 50 yards. Wesley picked up one again and said, "The shell can form fragments, and the interior is steel balls. Even if you can't kill the enemy, you can also let the enemy add a large number of casualties. Sometimes it's more cost-effective. It's small and light. It's definitely a necessary supplementary firepower for infantry. It's very easy to clean up enemy bunkers and urban street battles."

As a soldier, Pershing liked these weapons very much. "Can these mortars be fired?" the mortar that showed its head in the Russo Japanese War brightened the eyes of all countries, but not many people came up with a complete set of mature designs like Wesley.

As soon as Wesley waved his hand, the workers began to do it directly. The 60mm firing speed brightened everyone's eyes, and the display of 80mm and 120mm mortars was no worse. The attack coverage mode of three distances was completely formed, and the use below the battalion level was really effective.

Pan Xing also went up and made two shots himself. He nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "should there be guns?"

"Yes, but we need to go to the artillery range. All the remaining guns are big guys," Wesley nodded.

The president saw that the two people were completely in the rhythm of one to sell and one to buy. "Gentlemen, even if the weapons are excellent, the price must be very expensive? Congress will certainly not give this money."

Wesley smiled, looked at the president and said, "Mr. President, please rest assured that I am confident that I can convince them. If you can give me this opportunity and a huge powder keg is about to explode, can the United States stay out of it? Does the United States don't want interests? Can the guys in Congress really give up the opportunity of American rise?"

"What do you mean?" the president said with a frown. This Wesley is not like a soldier, but more like a politician. However, his business development must pay attention to the world.

"The rise of Germany will inevitably challenge the original stakeholders, so what kind of sparks will they collide with? I look forward to this. In a short time, the two sides have begun to be unable to bear it, and no one can afford the arms race. Someone must be unable to bear it first."

"But it has nothing to do with us," said the president.

"Does it really matter? This war will become a protracted war under my new war mode, and the United States can make a lot of money, but at the end of the war? There must be a premise for us to make money. Unless it is a cash transaction, we must ensure that the country that owes us the most will win, don't you think?"

The president was silent. Pershing said aside, "indeed, if they really follow your deployment, it is difficult for the war to end in a short time."

"Well, let's go and see the artillery. I'm still waiting for your second report." the president was moved. Who doesn't want to do anything during his term of office?

The party went directly to the artillery shooting range, where several cannons were quietly parked. Wesley introduced them from a small caliber, "75mm rapid fire gun can adjust the elevation, and there is no problem with direct and curved shooting. It is suitable for regiment level fire support. 105mm howitzer is suitable for division level fire support." The 75mm rapid fire gun was designed by Wesley for apple, which has no good reference, while the 105mm howitzer is an American m101a1 105mm howitzer. Wesley uses lightweight rubber tires for these running wheels.

The rear parts of the two guns have two supports, which are combined in the middle during transportation. They are directly hung on the truck or dragged by tomara. The firing is separated from both sides and fixed on the ground. Both guns are designed with fixed hydraulic pressure and automatic reset. Then the two guns began to fire at a very fast speed. When they saw Pershing's eyes shining, but he was not too excited this time because he was next to them There are bigger guys. At the same time, he thinks it is not enough to support 105mm howitzer as division fire.

"Young man, don't you think such firepower is not enough?" Pershing asked directly.

"Of course not, and that's what my second report is about, the establishment of the army," said Wesley, who is now a captain despite his excellent grades.

What can a captain do? Moreover, it was very difficult to promote the rank of the U.S. military during this period, because there was no war, everyone could only mix their qualifications. Although Pershing was very famous, he was now a brigadier general and was promoted exceptionally.

"The establishment of the army?" Pershing muttered, then listened quietly.

"At this stage, all countries are large-scale troops. In my opinion, this is not necessary at all, and it is a mistake. Especially when using my weapons, I don't need such a large-scale force at all."

The president looked at Wesley and said, "this boy is crazy. Is he confident or conceited?"

Wesley didn't know what others thought. It had nothing to do with him. He directly took a blackboard instead of introducing the larger caliber guns behind him. He wrote and said directly on the blackboard.
