Chapter 404 Thomson M1923!

When Du Haisheng came to the dock, the arms and weapons had been unloaded. The workers of Du's enterprise were carrying a steady stream of general fire weapons into the warehouse under the protection of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang had reached a series of agreements and consensus with him, including all the arms and weapons of Du's enterprises. After arrival, the soldiers of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army will come to guard in person.

Although no one dares to touch Du Haisheng's things in this city of Shanghai, in order to prevent those with ulterior motives from secretly using despicable means, he still chose to continue to guard with the power of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Armies.

Whether it is your own subordinates or those police stations in Shanghai, if you encounter a person with a heart's secret calculation, you don't have the ability to deal with it at all.

Only the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, after nearly a year of equipment replacement, whether it is Du Haisheng, Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, can pat their chests and say that the current Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is already the iron-blooded lion with the best weapons and equipment among the many armies of the Republic of China, with the strongest combat effectiveness and the richest single combat. Even Lao Jiang's trump card of the First Army can't do anything about him.

Although Du Haisheng also provided Lao Jiang with 80,000 Thomson submachine guns, countless ammunition, explosives and rifles, after all, Lao Jiang's troops are not one or two, and the number is far more than the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. If it is scattered to various troops, it is only enough for one division at best. Obviously, if it is like this If the combat effectiveness is to be compared with the Iron-blooded Eighteen Armies, it is no different from Ye Lang's agance.

Even a regiment of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army and a division in Lao Jiang's hand meet, and it is uncertain who will lose and win. For those armies, the services of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army are richer and more complete, and the effect of cooperation is greater. Each company is assigned about five snipers and five heavy machine guns. Think about it. Look, a company has such combat effectiveness, not to mention an army similar to a group army.

Compared with the performance of the arms weapons given to Lao Jiang, there is not much difference in performance compared with those obtained behind Xue Yue, but there are still considerable progress in the loading capacity and launch speed. Although the previous Thomson M1921 submachine gun has a considerable position in the historical process of the development of munition weapons, The performance is not very stable.

M1921 is the first mass-produced version of Thompson's submachine gun. Colt produced a total of 15,000 rifles for Auto-Ordnance. Its original design is more like a sports rifle, and it is equipped with a baked blue engraved barrel and a wooden front grip. The M1921 is designed with a semi-rend seat and delayed locking system. The production cost of the M1921 is expensive. At that time, the retail price was 225 US dollars, because it was difficult to make high-quality wooden buttstocks, grips, front grips and micro-parts. Therefore, the number of manufacturing is not large, and with the automatic ordnance company and Colt Arsenal, there are only about 300,000 in total.

In just about a year, Du Haisheng ordered about 150,000 Thomson M1921 submachine guns, which has accounted for about half of the total production. For arms and weapons salesmen in various countries around the world, it has to be said that it is an alternative. As a result, Du Haisheng was also the spokesperson of Thomson's submachine gun by the warlords in China.

In fact, since March this year, Du Haisheng has been introducing Thomson M1921 from the American Ordnance Manufacturing Company, and has also begun to secretly introduce his upgraded version - M1923! The performance, explosiveness and lethality of this submachine gun completely surpass his predecessors in all aspects, and it is cheaper in unit price.

M1923 is a version specially produced by Auto-Ordnance for the U.S. Army. The M1923 is equipped with a 355mm (14-inch) barrel, which fires .45Remington-Thompson ammunition with greater firepower and longer range than .45ACP. The M1923 is equipped with a rectite guard, a bipod, a strap and a bayonet seat. It was originally scheduled to fill the vacancy of the Browning automatic rifle (BAR), but the army was satisfied with the performance of the BAR and did not consider ordering. James had no choice but to focus on the armies and gangs of other countries.

After all, the automatic ordnance manufacturing company is still a private enterprise for profit after all. Although the agreement signed with the U.S. government clearly states that once new weapons appear, the U.S. military will first test it. If the requirements are met, it will be loaded into the army in large numbers, which makes James very depressed. Why is the U.S. military satisfied with the M1923 and has never considered buying these arms?

You should know that compared with the M1921, the lethality, explosive power, loading capacity and effective range have been significantly improved. When looking at the whole world, only the Italian Villa Perrosa and Beretta M1938A, the German Bergmann MP18I and MP38, West The performance of the MX1935 and T·N·35 series of Panya, the Swiss MKMO and the Thomson M1923 are comparable. Other submachine guns are like children's toys in front of him, and Bergman has been equipped with the German army. Although the world war has come to an end at that time, it has just The Bergman MP181 still brought considerable shock to the armies of other countries. Compared with the Bergman submachine gun, the Thomson M1923 is also a complete victory in performance and lethality.

But even so, although the U.S. army showed great interest, it was not able to choose to equip troops in the end.

This is also a big blow to James and his designers O.V. Perce and T. H. Oakhoff, while Germany has its own Bergman, Italy has its own Beretta, Spain and my own MX, Switzerland has MKMO, and the Japanese rely on powerful rifles. Design and manufacturing, aircraft, cannons, and there was no interest in submachine guns. James also broke up in the discussion with the Japanese military minister, and was even mocked by the other party, saying that Thomson's submachine gun was shot out with a shuttle of bullets, but it was not as lethal as the Japanese-produced rifle.

If the conditions are limited, he really wants to compete with this arrogant Japanese dwarf!

In the end, he chose to sell to gangsters in the United States, Britain, Germany, France and other places, and achieved good results, which also made his heart a little happy. Du Haisheng also changed the overall outfit of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army very quickly. In March, he began to secretly introduce the Thomson M1923. By mid-May, due to the gentleman's agreement with Lao Jiang, he sold all the imported 1923 to Xue Yue's Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. Later, the arms and weapons of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army were so luxurious that they began to eliminate M1921 and sold it to gangster organizations all over the country, private martial arts. Some of them even flowed to the troops of the Communist International, and some of them had performance problems and were maliciously sold to Lao Jiang's troops.

And of the 30,000 Thomson submachine guns that arrived this time, 12,000 are M1923. Fortunately, Ma Yongzhen and Yuan Dongshan, these two bastards, don't have many other arms and weapons. If they continue according to these two people, I'm afraid that his huge Du's enterprise can only want For bankruptcy, the price of a Thomson M1923 is not high, only a dozen dollars, but 30,000 pieces, together, the number is quite amazing.

You know, it's the US dollar, not the silver dollar, and the current equipment of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is strong enough, and the rest should really find another way by yourself.

"What did the two guys, Ma Yongzhen and Yuan Dongshan, say?"

Du Haisheng looked at it for a moment and sighed in his heart. He frowned, looked at a head coming with the boat, and asked with an unhappy face.

This time, neither of them discussed with him about so many arms and weapons, which made him more or less angry and even unhappy.

Last time Ma Yongzhen also explained it. This time, maybe I have to explain it. After all, 30,000 Thomson M1923 need a huge amount of silver dollars. Last time, 20,000 began to cry to himself. This time, maybe something shocking words will come out. If it is converted into silver dollars, it needs It takes millions. Once you want to take it all out, I'm afraid you can only borrow it from Liu Tianyu and others.

Although Du's enterprises are not short of money, most of them are fixed assets, and there are not many liquidity. Many of them have budgets. What's more, the newly established five-person ordnance manufacturing company has invested a total of 50 million silver dollars, 10 million yuan per person. This is not a small amount, even if Du Haisheng calculates the Vierina Arsenal. Among them, because the current Vierina Arsenal has not produced economic benefits, the valuation is not so high.

"Yes!" The head nodded and said, "Brother Ma and Brother Yuan said that this time the boss only needs to pay one-third of the money. They already have a solution to the others. One more thing is that this is the last batch of munitions from the automatic ordnance company. Our arsenal has been built. The weapons and workers are also in place, and some arms and weapons have been designed.

"Good..."

Du Haisheng heard that everything just now was swept away, and his hazy mood immediately improved. He clenched his hands excitedly and shouted happily...
