"Captain, it's the captain who is back!" The soldiers shouted excitedly and rushed towards Qin Chuan.

A group of people hugged each other tightly... It was obvious that the brief period of this holiday made their comrades deeper.

Then Werner exclaimed: "Captain, what are you wearing on your collar? God, that's the Knight's Order!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied, and then he received envious eyes from the soldiers. If they knew that this medal was awarded by Hitler, there would definitely be crazy screams.

It should be said that the number of Knight Crosses was issued was not large, and a total of 7,361 were issued during the Third Reich period.

But what is important is that this medal was designed just a year ago... Before that, the highest medal of honor was only awarded to senior military commanders who meet the two conditions of "military merit" and "loyalty to the royal family", and many senior, middle and lower-level military personnel were unable to receive this honor.

So Hitler added this Knight Cross to commend the heroic behavior of military personnel, so not many have received such medals so far, and most of them have incredibly brilliant combat performances. Having it is almost a sign of a "combat hero".

(Note: The initial issuance of medals is always stricter. When the Third Reich falls into a desperate situation in the later period, the number of medals issued will increase by a certain level.)

"This is not fair!" Werner rolled his eyes: "I have participated in all the battles that the captain participated in. I even returned to the team earlier than him, and they should also send me one!"

"Go to yours, Werner!" said the baker. "If that's the case, we should have one!"

"Okay!" said Werner: "Fortunately I have this thing..."

As he said that, he took the gun behind him and shook it.

Qin Chuan was stunned when he looked at the gun, it was clearly an AK47.

Looking at Qin Chuan who was confused, Werner said happily: "Captain, I can guarantee that you have never seen this thing!"

"He has never seen it before!" A voice came from a distance: "But we designed it according to the drawing he drew!"

The person who said this was Conrad. He was looking at Qin Chuan with a smile on his face and said, "I'm very happy to see you, Captain, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Later, Qin Chuan learned that Conrad even called Berlin to ask for people.

Needless to say, what the result is... No one can take the person out of Himmler. Not only did he not leave, Conrad was also asked not to ask about it anymore and not to leak any relevant information.

So Conrad knew that Qin Chuan might be trapped in a big plan again.

Qin Chuan had no reason Werner and others were stunned, so he took Conradra aside and asked, "What's its name?"

Although Qin Chuan knew, he was not sure, and Qin Chuan shouldn't have known at this time, so he shouldn't have acted unaware of it.

"Like you said!" Conrad replied: "We named it after MP43 and then we were successfully approved for production! Want to give it a try?"

Qin Chuan nodded.

Conrad brought Qin Chuan to the north of the base, where there was a shooting range where hundreds of German soldiers were practicing, and all of them were MP43.

"We plan to replace all the submachine guns with MP43!" Conrad took a MP43 from the ordnance administrator and handed it to Qin Chuan, saying, "Of course, I mean the First Infantry Regiment!"

Looking at Qin Chuan looking at the MP43, Conrad continued: "We found that the submachine gun you designed... Let's call it a submachine gun. It is almost customized for the intermediate power bullet we developed. It is very simple to use. You only need to load the magazine and load it, and then you can shoot!"

Of course Qin Chuan knew about these, but it was the first time he got started with them.

He raised his gun and shot several points at the target in front of him, and there were a few bullet holes immediately on the target.

Then another shot was fired, and this time the bullets flew around the target.

"The recoil is much smaller than that of a rifle!" Qin Chuan said: "In an affordable range!"

"Of course!" Conrad replied: "This is the purpose of developing the intermediate power bomb! It is perfect, right? It has the power of a rifle and the speed of a submachine gun. The disadvantage is that it is not very accurate when shooting continuously!"

"But this doesn't matter!" Qin Chuan said: "Because the Soviets... they will line up and charge towards us!"

"Yes, this is a piece of equipment against the Soviets!"

"My question is..." Qin Chuan asked while playing with the MP43 in his hand: "How many of these things have you produced?"

"The first batch of ten thousand!" Conrad replied.

"So why don't you equip them all with our group?"

"What?" Conrad couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "You mean..."

"It's not only used to replace the submachine gun!" Qin Chuan said: "I think it can also replace the rifle!"

"But..." Conrad said: "We think that will add a lot of pressure to logistics, and the troops will also lack long-range equipment!"

Conrad was right, or he could also say that his concerns were necessary.

First of all, the purpose of this weapon is to replace the submachine gun to make up for its lack of range and power. If it is used to replace the rifle... it is a bit too radical for people of this era.

Secondly, the bolt-pull rifle consumes much smaller bullets than the automatic rifle, and the German army's transportation capacity is worrying at this time, so it is indeed not suitable to replace the rifle in this regard.

But Qin Chuan knew that this was feasible, because modern army has proved this in actual combat time and time again.

"I need an army like this!" Qin Chuan said: "I mean, except for machine guns and snipers, the riflemen and submachine gunmen are all replaced with MP43. As for the supply issue, I believe that the supply of a regiment will not cause too much pressure!"

Conrad nodded, then shook his head and said, "I have to remind you, Captain, this may improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, but it may also be reduced, because if you do this, it will make the troops feel a little uncomfortable, and even the tactics need to be changed accordingly. This is very dangerous!"

"That's why we need training!" Qin Chuan said: "Of course, I need to discuss it with Colonel Slain!"

"Okay!" Conrad nodded.
Chapter completed!
