Chapter 1483 Body Armor
"Führer Cyric, are you alright?" Reinhard only had the opportunity to quickly ask when he returned to the temporary palace in Kyiv.
Cyric waved his hand: "It's okay, if it was a rifle bullet, maybe my rib would be broken. Fortunately, it's just a pistol bullet."
Saying that, Cyric had already started to take off his clothes, and he was wearing a special piece of equipment inside.
Nylon bulletproof vest.
In fact, in ancient times, the armor worn by the soldiers who charged in combat was even a bulletproof vest, and the bulletproof vest in the modern sense can be traced back to the First World War. Most of the bulletproof vests at this time used several arcs. The steel plates are connected together, almost like the metal armor used in ancient warfare.
In this way, until after the First World War, the United States studied a considerable number of types of soft bulletproof vests due to the needs of the domestic police market. As early as 1921, soft bulletproof vests were available.
However, they could not find suitable materials. The bulletproof vest made of heavy silk was initially used, which had poor protective effect. It could only resist grenade fragments with low muzzle velocity and had no protection against pistol bullets. Later, some people used it in the The nylon fibers developed in the laboratory were tried, and by 1923, the soft bulletproof vest of silk and nylon mixed fabrics was invented.
This time it was a success. On September 13, 1923, at the shooting range of the Maryland State Police Headquarters, Deputy Sheriff Charles Smith put on a bulletproof vest invented by the New York Protective Clothing Company and ordered his assistant to use a 9mm Browning pistol. The short-fired revolver fired several shots in the chest at a distance of 3 meters.
As a result, he was intact. Experiments with body armor were a complete success, and they began to enter federal law enforcement agencies and local police departments in the United States.
However, although this is a "soft" bulletproof vest, it is still lined with a special metal bulletproof plate weighing up to 5 kg.
At the same time, this can only be used in the police force, in the trenches, the silk will deteriorate rapidly and lose its protective effect.
It was not until 1939 that DuPont's nylon 66 fiber was officially factory-produced, and soft bulletproof vests had great development. By 1943, the US military had developed more than 23 kinds of bulletproof vests using nylon fibers. In June 1945 , The U.S. military has successfully developed a bulletproof vest made of aluminum alloy and high-strength nylon. The model is M12 infantry bulletproof vest. It can almost be regarded as a typical example of modern body armor.
The official use of body armor in the army has been regarded as the post-war Korean War.
At present, various scientific research fields in Germany are making great progress, and factories in Germany have begun to produce advanced nylon fibers. This technology was introduced from DuPont, and Germany has made significant improvements. .
Nylon is an excellent thing, and can even replace steel in many places, used to make gears and so on. For women, nylon stockings are a favorite.
Germany has developed an advanced bulletproof vest, which is similar to the American M12. It also uses aluminum alloy as the backing and high-strength nylon on the outside. In this way, the entire bulletproof vest weighs less than 3 kg. Not bloated, almost invisible after wearing the uniform outside.
The impact of the bullet caused Cyric to fall backwards, but Cyric was not injured, just a little red and swollen on the skin.
At this point, Hannah had come over and rubbed Cyric on the red and swollen area, and at the same time, silently changed him into new clothes, which already had a bullet hole on the outside.
"Have you found out the origin of the murderer?" Cyric asked.
As the head of the Third Reich, Cyric had long been mentally prepared to wear this newly developed body armor as long as he went out. After all, generally, assassinations were carried out with pistols at close range.
If the sniper in the distance gets a headshot, there is nothing you can do, unless you use the Kevlar helmet of the future, but unfortunately that thing is still not available.
Cyric believed in Reinhardt's ability to do business. Although the murderer committed suicide after completing the assassination, he was still able to find many clues.
"He pretended to be a reporter from the United Kingdom, and all the documents were complete. However, the real reporter had died outside Kyiv. He was impersonating. We speculate that he should have been sent by Churchill and his gang." Inhart said.
Although it was Reinhardt's conjecture, the conjecture of the empire's top spy chief is absolutely true. They smashed the infiltration of the Soviets many times, but they did not expect the British.
"What's with the camera?" Cyric asked.
Reinhardt's inspection is rigorous, and it is impossible to make such a low-level error.
"We are at the checkpoint and have confiscated all the things that the reporter brought. This camera is not the assassin's, but he took from Mr. George Orwell."
The British are actually very good at assassinating, secretly replacing George Orwell's camera, and then taking advantage of George Orwell's arrival, he came to the checkpoint, deliberately shouted to attract attention, and finally used George - Orwell's sympathy got the camera in his hands.
The plan was so seamless that even Reinhardt sighed.
"We have already controlled Mr. George Orwell, and please decide on his execution yourself." Reinhardt said: "I am also responsible, please punish me."
Although everything is unintentional, but after all, things have happened, and someone must be responsible!
While wearing Hannah's clothes, Cyric said, "It was an accident, Reinhardt, and the punishment for you is to clean the toilet for three months. George O. Mr. Will is innocent, let him go, we have to learn a lesson from this matter, and better fulfill the mission entrusted to us by history in the future."
At certain times, the Führer Cyric was ruthless and ruthless. For example, when Petersburg was wiped out, or the Poles were relocated, he didn't care how many casualties it would cause. At other times, he was very talkative, such as Now.
Cyric's punishment is not heavy. For a person who can follow the empire at any time, is there still a need for punishment? His own guilt is enough.
And George Orwell, who has been through this, will be more mature and use his pen to crusade the conspirators behind it. Wouldn't it be better? At the beginning, Cyric successfully won Orwell over to work for the propaganda department of the empire, and that Animal Farm was simply slapping the West in the face!
Just then, an adjutant hurried in and reported to Reinhardt: "No, Mr. Orwell committed suicide!"
