Qin Chuan actually knew what Conrad said.

Germany actually noticed what Qin Chuan mentioned a long time ago, that is, the problem of firepower gap between rifles and submachine guns.

To a certain extent, the long-range range of a rifle is unnecessary on the battlefield. On the one hand, the distance between the two sides of the war is generally not that far. If it is really that far, it is difficult to hit, so the long-range range is not very meaningful.

On the other hand, there are completely replaceable weapons at long distances, such as machine guns and mortars.

So what infantry really needs is a high-fire rate weapon with a range of about 400 meters.

Some people once considered directly transforming the principle of submachine guns into rifles... This is actually a machine gun, and its recoil is unbearable for ordinary soldiers.

So Germany has developed an intermediate power bomb with a forward-looking look.

This study started in 1934, and after repeated experiments, it was not until 1941 that the 7.92×33 mm rifle short bullet was determined.

Its length was shorter than the German 7.92×57mm standard rifle bullet at that time, and the warhead was lighter and the gunpowder was fired less. The charge amount was from 47 grains (Note: Grain is a weight unit used in the UK. It weighs 1 grain, 47 grains about 3 grams) to 24.6 grains (about 1.6 grams), and the warhead weight was reduced from 198 grains (about 12.8 grams) to 123 grains (about 8 grams).

As a result, the effective range was shortened to 400 meters accordingly. The length of the bullet was reduced by one third than the original Mauser rifle bullet. This greatly reduced the recoil of the gun, which greatly solved the technical bottleneck of automatic continuous shooting and unable to continuously and accurately shoot.

With the bullet, the next step is to develop the corresponding rifle... In fact, the research and development and determination of bullets are more important in the development of guns. There is a saying that "Look at the gun first", and bullets basically determine the basic performance such as range and lethality. The gun is actually a tool to fire the bullets.

But he was suppressed when he reported to Hitler.

"The Head of State believes that its range is limited and cannot be compared with machine guns!" Conrad said: "So it will be suppressed by enemy machine guns and rifles at long distances, and it is not as good as a submachine gun at close range!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Assault rifles are equipment between rifles and submachine guns. Of course, you can say that their range is not as good as a rifle and are not as light as a submachine gun, but it can also be said that the rate of fire is higher than that of a rifle and its power is greater than that of a submachine gun. This depends on the angle you look at.

"On the other hand!" Conrad continued: "This rifle must use new ammunition, which cannot use the original large amount of stored Mauser rifle bullets. Moreover, it can also fire continuously, and the bullet consumption in actual combat must be very amazing. This requires us to prepare a complete new ammunition system again, which will undoubtedly add a lot of additional burden to the country's production and the logistics of the troops!"

"But you know!" Qin Chuan said: "These efforts are worth it, and it will bring us victory after victory!"

"Yes, I believe this!" Conrad nodded in agreement, but then shrugged helplessly: "But the head of state does not agree!"

"This doesn't matter!" Qin Chuan said.

"No, this is very important!" Conrad looked at Qin Chuan with confusion: "I don't know why you think this is not important. The problem is that no one can produce and equip the troops without the consent of the head of state!"

"Colin!" Qin Chuan raised his head to the sketch in Conrad's hand and asked, "Do you think it looks more like a rifle or a submachine gun?"

"Compared with a rifle...it certainly is more like a submachine gun!" Conrad replied.

"So, do you think the head of state will deny a submachine gun?" Qin Chuan asked again.

"You mean..."

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "We just need to give it the name of a submachine gun!"

"Yes!" Conrad couldn't help but nodded excitedly, "It's just a submachine gun. The only difference between it and the submachine gun is that the bullets are different, but... how could the head of state pay attention to whether the bullets will be the same?"

Thinking of this, Conrad couldn't help but hug Qin Chuan and said, "Great, Captain, you have saved another study that we have been studying for many years, and even took it to the next level!"

What Conrad didn't know was that this could not be considered Qin Chuan's credit... This was what German researchers did in history. In order not to make Hitler self-righteously deny this invention that could obviously play a big role in the battlefield, they finally submitted a complaint to Hitler under the name MP43\MP44, but Hitler did not notice that he approved production.

However, it was too late to produce at that time.

"Then, colonel!" Qin Chuan then asked Conrad: "Now you can tell me what the researchers you brought do. You won't tell me that they brought them to produce equipment!"

"No, of course not!" Conrad replied: "Captain, given that we are friends for many years and I think you are my friends for many years, I don't want you and yourself to be trapped in Holm, so I plan to help you!"

"Help me?" Qin Chuan was a little confused.

"Guess what they do!" Conrad said: "I'm sure you'll guess!"

Qin Chuan thought about it, then hesitatedly asked Conrad: "Are you talking about V1?"

"Smart!" Conrad replied.

"You have produced a radio-guided V1?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

"Yes!" Conrad nodded: "We have done an experiment. If we do another guidance adjustment in the target area, we can reduce the error to a range of 1,000 meters. I brought three sets of equipment on three gliders, but unfortunately there are only two sets left now!"

After pausing, Conrad asked again: "The error range of one thousand meters is not a problem for bombing the West Bank!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

Although the error of one thousand meters is not ideal enough, it is already amazing enough for this era.

"Next, we should further improve its accuracy!" Qin Chuan said.

"Further?" Conrad asked, "How to do it?"

"Have you ever thought about TV guidance?" Qin Chuan asked.

Conrad couldn't help but open his mouth wide for a long time and couldn't close it: "You mean...we install a camera on it and then control it to hit the target?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.
