Chapter 17 Development Plan

Paula: "Can our Ruger company produce the Kurt semi-automatic pistol?"

Hearing Paula's question, Zelen, who had stayed in Binam City for four days, entertained batches of people in the hotel, completed various appeasement work, and constantly reassured everyone, nodded.

Zelen: "But I have a request, you can only authorize the production under my name, Linmington Weapons Company."

Paula: "Isn't this just us paying for the OEM production rights? I am your queen after all..."

Zelen: "I'm short of money."

Hearing this, Paula looked helpless.

Because she knew that Zelen, as a decentralized emperor, his own property was completely separated from the treasury. So Zelen is not only a pauper who invests money in arms production and allows all the soldiers of the Krurod Empire to use weapons and equipment with his mark, but also a warrior who often needs to rely on his own seizure or production of weapons and equipment to protect the people of the empire from invasion.

After all, so far, the guy who poses the greatest threat to the Krurod Empire is You Lizi. He is the only one in the country who is completely immune to his magic attacks, especially the energy shock waves that suddenly burst out and tear everything around him. Therefore, it is completely self-evident how heavy the burden on him is.

What's more, the weapons and equipment left by the pig-headed man are currently in the research room of the Linmington Weapons Company, and are being jointly studied by scientists from the empire. I guess even he doesn't know how much research and development funds are needed here.

Paula: "Okay. But is your Kurt semi-automatic pistol the equipment of our Japanese people in the past?"

Zelen: "It's better to have equipment than not. Moreover, do we have a choice now? Even if this pistol was originally our equipment."

Speaking of this, Zelen himself is helpless. As Paula said, the Kurt semi-automatic pistol is one of the weapons and equipment produced by the Krurod Empire itself. However, the original version of the Colt semi-automatic pistol can only load 7 rounds of 11×24 mm pistol bullets, and the ammunition capacity is too small. If some nostalgic elements in the later Kruro Empire still collected this pistol work collection, and even committed various crimes, it is estimated that the museum of the Kruro Empire would not have relevant collections for display.

Because the empire was in a period of prosperity at that time, the idea of ​​liking the new and disliking the old was permeating the entire society. The Colt semi-automatic pistol had a competitor with a 14-round magazine, and it was submerged in the molten steel of the steel plant in a few years.

However, with the rise of a new generation of large-capacity, no exposed hammer to cause hooking problems, and the principle of firing pin translation, the Colt semi-automatic pistol, even if it was the first semi-automatic pistol in the history of the Kruro Empire, did not serve in the military and police forces of the Kruro Empire for too long. Especially since its replacement was not bad in performance, no one asked about the Colt semi-automatic pistol.

For this reason, the Kruro Empire, which is now at the end of the century and invaded by foreign enemies and monsters, does not have many choices. Especially after the Republic of Paou lost two-thirds of its territory, which led to the loss of a large amount of supplies and equipment, and even the soldiers themselves, he definitely thought that he would use it if he could.

And now he seized the Colt semi-automatic pistol from some unknown identity, unknown place, or from the body of a hidden black market merchant at some time. It is a self-defense weapon that uses a 14-round magazine. In addition, it is 221 mm long, 128 mm long barrel, and weighs 1.2 kg with an empty magazine. It adopts the classic barrel recoil automatic principle and barrel offset locking. Even if the effective range is only 25 meters, or even only 15 meters, the muzzle velocity is only 270 meters per second after actual measurement.

However, his soldiers need Colt, not a revolver that is easy to overweight and has too little ammunition capacity. Therefore, he allowed Linmington Weapons Company to produce the first batch, and just in case, he also allowed Ruger Company to produce it on a contract basis.

Paula: "Zeren? Zellen?"

Zeren: "What... is there something?"

Paula: "Are you thinking about how to make all the soldiers of the Krurod Empire use the weapons and equipment you specify?"

Zeren: "Yes. Don't you think the weapons and equipment of our country's army are quite complicated?"

Paula: "Well... most of them are not the original regular army soldiers, but the militias from all over the country were later transferred to supplement the troops."

Zeren: "So the militias in various towns in our country all use their own local weapons and equipment, instead of unified standards?"

Paula: "Don't you know this? Our country does not have a state-owned arsenal to uniformly produce all types of weapons and equipment. All of them rely on private arsenals in various places to provide weapons and equipment to surrounding towns. "

Zelen: "No! This will be very chaotic. If the logistics are not unified, it will lead to supply and guarantee problems for the weapons and equipment in the hands of the soldiers, which is a joke with the lives of the soldiers. In this way, I can decide other political affairs on the Congress, and I will write a list about weapons and equipment to avoid bigger problems. "

Paula: "Ah? Aren't you making us, the bosses of private arsenals, uncomfortable?"

Zeren: "The current environment is not suitable for you to make money. Even if you want to make money, you have to earn foreign exchange from other countries. So, give me your product information, I want to make a list."

Paula: "Uh..."

Zeren: "Give it to me."

Paula: "Yes."

Compared to Paula's reluctance, Zelen realized that the policy of allowing local areas to build arsenals on their own since the establishment of his country was definitely not a good thing.

Especially in the current situation, Zelen needs a unified standard, a list of firearms that can make military logistics simpler.

Otherwise, these soldiers from different militias who entered the new army with the firearms they had been carrying since the militia period will have logistical problems after fighting...

Although in the past, Ruger was the first company to formulate various military equipment standards for the Krurod Empire; but please note that this standard is fundamentally and completely beneficial to Ruger, and does not exist in full compliance with the requirements of the military and police.

Therefore, in actual operation, Ruger's standards have led to Ruger's products occupying the market for military and police equipment for many years. As expected, Ruger sometimes sold inferior products, but the military and police had no other choice in monopolizing things.

Although Ruger later realized the resentment among the military and police, and the legal charges against Ruger forced Ruger to stop openly enjoying the huge profits brought by the monopoly business; but this does not mean that Ruger really gave up the market and let everyone share the burden. Some confrontations and cooperation under the table are tacitly understood by everyone.

In short, based on the current situation, Zelen hopes that the empire's army can carry a unified standard of thunder and lightning assault rifles step by step. It's just that the major arsenals are now restricted by raw materials and have a serious lack of production capacity to produce a large number of thunder and lightning assault rifles.

Therefore, he wrote a list on the one hand and another proposal on the other.

Toara Island needs to be developed with emphasis, and several large steel mills and arsenals of the Krurod Empire must be built in this place to ensure that the soldiers will not be without sufficient weapons and equipment.

At the same time, there must be a close connection between Brunei and Toara, and Brunei's food must be used to feed Toara, and Toara's industrial products must be used to ensure the safety of Brunei and even the Krurod Empire.

Not to mention Semeru Island, he needs to recapture it. This island with an area of ​​140,000 square kilometers has important resources such as coffee, tea, rubber, sugarcane, coconut, coal, manganese, iron, gold, silver, phosphorus, sulfur, iodine, rice, corn, tea, peanuts, sugar, kapok, quinine, teak, etc....
