Born In England

A month later, Li Er led a team back to his hometown.

Li Lin did not choose to go back.

After he plans to plan the weapons that Li's Weapons Company will develop in the future, he plans to go to France to accompany his girlfriend. It is meaningless to stay in Singapore.

The production situation of the weapon factories here is relatively stable, and there are no major problems.

At present, there are machine guns, rifles, pistols, etc., and a few more types of artillery are needed. Li Lin rubbed his chin and thought.

Although the LeFH18 105mm howitzer is currently under development, it can be considered a heavy artillery. But still not big enough.

Except for mortars, small-caliber artillery, there is no infantry artillery.

So he planned to select several small-caliber artillery and large-caliber heavy artillery to develop together.

Li Lin opened the [WWI and WWII Weapon Design Encyclopedia] to start searching.

Soon he took a fancy to a small-caliber artillery-Schneider M1923 75mm infantry gun. This artillery was successfully developed in 1923, and it is definitely ahead of any current light artillery.

This kind of artillery weighs only 352 kilograms and can be towed by only a mule or a soldier. Compared with its predecessor M1916, it has a larger caliber and a range of 5.6 kilometers. The gun is only equipped with high-explosive shells weighing 4.5 kg. Due to its long range and high rate of fire, it is also known as a light mountain gun.

It's up to you! Li Lin directly chose this artillery, and took out the design drawing from the system.

There is a light artillery, and there must be another heavy artillery!

K16-150mm cannon! Li Lin quickly took a fancy to this heavy gun.

150mm caliber, definitely a super heavy gun!

Its parameters are:

Caliber: 149.3mm

Maximum range: 22 kilometers

Muzzle velocity: 757 m/s

Projectile weight: 51.4 kg.

Total weight: 10870 kg.

It's a bit scary. A single ammunition weighs hundreds of catties! Li Lin was amazed.

The above introduction is: K16 heavy artillery is the heavy artillery that terrified the Allied soldiers in the First World War!

This sentence alone is enough to show its horror.

Okay, I've chosen you!

After the selection, Li Lin looked at other things.

For example, sonar radar, more advanced radio stations, etc., and selected more than a dozen designs of auxiliary weapons in one go.

In one breath, it was thrown to the R\u0026D department of Li's Arms Company and let them develop it.

After finishing everything, Li Lin went to France.

When he went, he brought a Gotha GV bomber that had undergone dozens of tests, 100 Kar98k rifles and 10 M1 Garand rifles.

Now that we have new weapons, we must sell them to those great powers.

2 months later.

Paris.

In Daphne's villa.

Li Lin got up from the bed and lit a cigarette: Don't go to the company today, take a good rest at home.

Got it. Daphne frowned.

Why are you wrinkling?

A little pain.

After Li Lin finished washing, he ate breakfast and went out.

An office building.

In the topmost office.

Li Lin, long time no see! The logistics minister, General Cosmo, was a little surprised to see Li Lin coming to visit. He had heard before that this guy had gone back to Singapore.

Yeah, long time no see! General Cosmo, I'm here this time. My Li's Arms Company has developed a new type of weapon. I wonder if you are interested in learning about it? Li Lin asked with a smile road.

He plans to sell the bomber to France first, and then go to Germany to sell it. Well, Goose Country will also go there in the future, and it is not impossible to sell it to England.

Selling more than one machine is the kingly way!

What weapon? General Cosmo asked.

Of course it's not a conventional weapon. You definitely don't lack artillery, rifles, and warships. The weapon I'm promoting this time is a new weapon—a bomber! Li Lin introduced.

bomber?

Yes, you should have heard of my camel plane, which I call a fighter! It is a machine gun installed on the plane, not only can detect the enemy's situation in the air, but also can fight in the air, cover the bomber to fight, and even fight against the enemy's fighter. And Our bombers are weapons that complement fighters!

Bombers can load bombs on the plane, and can drop bombs at a height of several thousand meters in the air to bomb the ground!

A bomber is an aircraft specially used to bomb ground targets. It is an aircraft used by air forces to carry out air strikes. Bombers can not only perform tactical bombing tasks such as destroying enemy fortifications and killing enemy personnel, but also destroy enemy arsenals, Strategic bombing missions such as power stations, communication hubs, and even a city. Bombers not only aim to destroy the enemy's manpower and material resources, but also destroy the enemy's spirit! Li Lin boasted.

Really? General Cosmo was taken aback by Li Lin's words.

As for the plane, Li Lin had only sold it to Deguo before, and he hadn't sold the rest yet.

Now that the bomber is out, it happens to be on sale together.

How could I lie to you? You can imagine for yourself. Is the bomber dropping bombs in the sky to bomb the ground? Isn't it very advanced? What can the enemy use to stop it? Can't hit it with artillery or machine guns. You can only be attacked by it. Forced bombing! Li Lin said.

It seems to be true! General Cosmo couldn't refute.

Even, the bomber has a greater role! Li Lin said with a serious face.

What effect?

Bombers can not only bomb the ground, but can even bomb fleet targets on the water. Assuming my plane can take off and land on a huge warship, then... once the enemy's warship is found, send the bomber over there Bombing, you say, what will the enemy use to resist the bombing?

I can't resist at all, I can only be passively bombed! Think about it, wouldn't this make your country's navy stronger? Li Lin said.

He was talking about aircraft carrier operations.

Currently, the aircraft carrier has not been invented.

The real aircraft carrier was invented on November 14, 1910, driving a Curtiss biplane and taking off from a light cruiser. The first ship to provide a runway for simultaneous take-off and landing operations of aircraft was the cruiser Furious, whose refit was completed in April 1918.

So the idea that Li Lin is talking about is very advanced!

This, this... can you still fight like this? General Cosmo was shocked.

Of course! As long as the runway on the warship is long enough, the plane can take off! Li Lin didn't mind making a big deal for the other party in order to sell the plane.

Anyway, this concept is about to be brought up soon, and there is no problem for him to say it a few years in advance, it just helps him to sell the plane!
