This caught country m by surprise. They originally wanted to unite several small island nations to deal with Huaguo! But their dreams have all come to nothing in the face of China's large-scale military exercises.

When Hua's various advanced military weapons were displayed in the exercise, country m was also very surprised. Even though they were not convinced, they used the small island country to compete with Hua Guo several times, but they failed every time. This forced the military and political officials of country m to change their previous policy of trying to contain Hua Guo.

Now country m has given up its previous attempt to occupy Hua country, but maintains friendly diplomatic relations with Hua country, so that these two big countries are in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

The policy of country m is to focus on Europe, and to turn this place into the largest market for their military weapons sales.

In this way, the European part is naturally not peaceful. Under the alienation and bewitchment of country m, the entire European plate was divided into two camps, one was the pro-m faction and the other was the anti-m faction. The two camps are so incompatible, the European war seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

Zhao Zhongyao already knows this historical background. He feels that now he has the opportunity to make this small military industrial base a world-class military industrial group.

This is because the world may soon enter a state of large-scale war. Although this war may only be a war in Europe, not a war in the whole world.

But that's enough. This has allowed the advanced weapons developed by Zhao Zhongyao to show their talents on the battlefield. By then, their small military industrial base will soon grow into a super military industrial group.

Of course, this is just Zhao Zhongyao's vision. He is not sure what will happen in the future, after all, he was reborn in a parallel world. Some parts of this parallel world are the same as the previous world, and some parts are different.

But no matter what, Zhao Zhongyao, who has first-class military technology, is still determined to build this small military industrial base into a super military industrial group.

To achieve this lofty goal, the first step is to develop an excellent rifle of its own.

Because the rifle is the most commonly used weapon among the weapons in the world, and it is an essential weapon for every soldier.

For a military industrial base, only by producing an excellent rifle can it guarantee its own military products and always occupy the military market in the world.

And what Zhao Zhongyao has to do now is to design and produce the ak-47, the most famous rifle king in the world during his lifetime, and then promote this rifle to the world. This small military industrial base will also grow step by step with this rifle.

Zhao Zhongyao had already designed the drawings of AK-47 before. What needs to be done now is to produce the two sample rifles requested by the superiors.

In the first step, Zhao Zhongyao can complete the design work by himself. But this second step, production in the workshop, is definitely not a task that one person can complete.

For Zhao Zhongyao, now is the time to really test him. After all, the military machinery in this world is also very backward. The machine tools used to produce weapons are also very backward. There are no advanced CNC machine tools of later generations at all, all of which are early single-piece parts processing machine tools. Each part requires a type of lathe.

Although the equipment is relatively simple. But Zhao Zhongyao is still very confident. Because, he is very clear, in fact, when the ak-47 was first produced, it was also during World War II. At that time, there were no CNC lathes in the military factories of the former Soviet Union, and they were all ordinary lathes, but on ordinary lathes, They produced the most advanced and practical ak-47 at that time.

Sometimes, the quality of the equipment does not determine anything. It's also about the people using the devices. As long as you have patience and confidence, you can produce some high-tech products even with ordinary equipment.

Back then, my country's two bombs and one satellite were all completed under the conditions of poor technical equipment. It can be said that this is a miracle of a person's ambition. As long as you have confidence, there is nothing you can't do.

Zhao Zhongyao couldn't understand the history of Huaguo before his death. We know that under such difficult conditions, world-class high-tech "products" such as "two bombs and one satellite" can be produced. Now he wants to produce AK-47 on an ordinary machine tool, which seems to be a very easy task.

However, confidence is confidence. When it comes to doing it concretely, of course it takes a lot of effort.

Anyway, Zhao Zhongyao already knew a lot of technology and knowledge about the development of AK-47 before his death, and he even knew how a mysterious military factory that produced this gun in the former Soviet Union produced this gun.

Although ak-47 is very famous, the military factory that produces it is not famous. At first it was called Sestrolek. Later, the name was changed twice.

This factory is very poor and very unknown. Sestroretsk is located in the city of Kronstadt, about 27 kilometers northwest of St. Petersburg, near the Oranienbaum land in the Sea of ​​Finland basin. It is not marked on most maps. According to Russian literature, the Sestroretsk factory was the third Russian government arsenal established in 1721 or 1724 (the time of Peter the Great), built here to take advantage of the hydraulic power of a large river. Their first supervisor was the Swedish Kristin Pedro. According to Russian official documents, the work

The factory specializes in the production of small arms, but also produces artillery for the Russian Navy. However, documents outside Russia state that this factory was established only to produce rifles for the Imperial Russian government. Anyway, during the time of Peter the Great this factory produced a lot of weapons with 683 workers. In 1780, the factory was nearly destroyed by fire, but production resumed in 1799. In 1867, Sestroretsk was denationalized, but 17 years later it came under state control again. From 1880 to 1894, the number of workers was as high as 2,500 to 2,600, but then decreased significantly up. After Colonel Mosin took over the factory in 1894, in order to produce m1891 rifles, the factory added 206 machines and the number of workers increased again. In 1898, only 1,000 workers worked 8 hours a day. In 1903, the factory had already There are 1,200 workers and 940 machine tools, which can produce about 30,000 3-wire rifles per year.

During the October Revolution, Sestroretsk workers played an important role due to its proximity to Lenin's headquarters in St. Petersburg. During the Civil War, due to the possibility of the White Army occupying the factory, they were forced to withdraw the machines to evacuate the factory and turn the production factory into a maintenance center. When German troops began to encircle Leningrad in 1941, Allied Fendi forces approached the factory, forcing another evacuation. Workers in Sestroretsk continued to produce in the factory in Leningrad. After the war, Izhevsk and Tula built more modern production lines, but Sestroretsk was no longer valued, so the factory did not Rebuilt and never existed again.

Izhevsk is a small city located 77 kilometers northwest of Sarapur on a large river, in the hills of the Ural Mountains. It was originally established in 1760 as an iron factory mainly producing light weapons and cannon accessories. In 1763 the factory was taken over by the Russian government and began producing weapons. Later, because Napoleon was preparing to invade Russia, and for strategic considerations, the Russian government needed to find a new place to produce weapons. This place could not be as dangerous as the location of Tula and Sestroretsk, and it should be close to natural resources. As a place of supply, finally in 1804 it was decided to use the well-founded Izhevsk hardware factory. On July 10, 1807, Izhevsk officially became a truly well-equipped arsenal. By 1825, Izhevsk had become the most modern and efficient weapon production place in Russia. It used river resources to provide Enough power and steam. From 1807 to 1907, about 4 million rifles have been independently produced, and the workers working in Izhevsk still have the possibility of being conscripted into compulsory military service at the age of 25, so its production efficiency is quite High.

In order to increase the production of Mosin-Nagant rifles, the Izhevsk Arsenal has been greatly expanded since 1900. A large number of modern production machines have been imported from France, Britain and Switzerland, and the number of workers has also increased sharply. In 1882, the city had only 2,048 residents. In 1902, there were 3,637 workers. In 1903, there were about 7,000 people. In 1905, there were indeed 6,366 workers in the production line. rifle. In 1896, Izhevsk was producing 1,000 3-wire rifles per day. This figure was reduced to 600 per day in 1899. During the civil war in 1919, the Izhevsk Arsenal was occupied by the "White Army" for several months. During World War II, the Izhevsk Arsenal fully produced m91/30 rifles. In the first half of the war alone, 30 million m91/30 rifles were produced. Izhevsk-produced rifles can be identified by the hammer and sickle factory markings in a wreath on the top of the chamber, as well as the gun number consisting of at least 7 Cyrillic numerals on the left side of the chamber. Izhevsk produced barrel guard and bottom right of the butt plate also have a triangular mark with a feathered arrow inside.

The Izhevsk Arsenal produces the largest number of Mosin-Nagant rifles, and most of the m1891/30 rifles that can be found on the market today are produced in Izhevsk. The factory was famous for producing high-quality and cheap gun steel, so in addition to producing rifles, it also produced rifle parts for Sestroretsk and Tula, and also produced cold weapons and shells for the army and navy. During the Soviet period, Izhevsk was the capital of the Udmurt Republic. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the Izhevsk Arsenal was reorganized into today's Izhmash Company, which still produces military, sports and hunting weapons.

Zhao Zhongyao knew very well how an assault rifle like the ak-47 was produced. The former Soviet Union could produce excellent assault rifles like ak-47 under such difficult conditions, so it can also produce such excellent rifles under simple conditions.

In the past few days, Zhao Zhongyao has stayed in the workshop almost all the time, and Zhao Gang and the others are looking at the drawings while producing parts. Zhao Zhongyao had to personally inspect all the parts produced by the workers several times, and finally asked them to assemble the whole gun after confirming that there were no problems with these parts.

After three days of hard work in the dark and night, Zhao Zhongyao and Zhao Gang finally produced two AK-47 sample assault rifles.

Looking at the real ak-47 in front of him, Zhao Zhongyao was a little excited.

You know, this is a weapon designed, developed and produced by him himself. Compared with before, he just designed it, no matter how it was produced, these two ak-47 assault rifles, to Zhao Zhongyao, felt like his own children, and that kind of feeling was not the weapon designed before can be compared.

Even with the many powerful missile weapons he designed before, he didn't feel this way. Anyway, now Zhao Zhongyao feels that these two assault rifles are the most important things around him after he was reborn in this world. Things, can be compared with these two rifles.

"Haha, it's finally done.

Since the establishment of our military industrial base, the first real gun has finally come off the assembly line! "

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the two brand new ak-47 assault rifles that had been assembled on the assembly table. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with relief.

"Director Zhao, is this gun really powerful!"

For Zhao Gang, he feels that the production of this gun is not much different from the production of the bullpup rifle designed by Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan. It's just that the barrel of this gun is relatively short. The bullpup rifles designed by the two old guys have longer barrels. What's more, this gun has a wooden butt, while the gun designed by the two old guys has no butt. Apart from these places, I really don't feel that there is anything special about this gun.

Relatively speaking, it is easier to produce this kind of gun than the bullpup rifle designed by the two old guys before.

After all, all parts of this gun are smaller than ordinary rifles. Especially the barrel is shorter than normal rifles. This makes it easier to produce. Unlike the bullpup rifles designed by two old guys before, because the barrel was too long, the lathe could not be used. In the end, the design drawings had to be modified to produce that bullpup rifle.
