Chapter 72 Attending a Press Conference?

If the hollow-charge grenade and grenade are not very eye-catching, then the anti-tank rocket launcher he conceived is definitely a good thing beyond the times.

Due to context and definition problems, people in later generations often confuse "rocket-propelled grenade" and "recoilless gun", which is not rigorous.

To put it simply, rocket-propelled grenades, commonly known as bazookas, are rocket-propelled grenades that do not need to withstand chamber pressure; recoilless guns that need to withstand chamber pressure.

For example, the famous "Iron Fist" series in the late period of the war, although people call it the Iron Fist bazooka, is actually a recoilless gun in principle.

As for "Tank Killer" and "Bazooka", because the ammunition has its own rocket motor and the launcher does not bear the pressure of the chamber, it is considered a real rocket launcher.

Taking into account the background of the times, and not sure whether Daming can solve the technical problems of the bazooka's fast-burning propellant, the weapon sketch drawn by Zhou Changfeng is essentially a recoilless gun.

But it doesn't matter what you call it. Anyway, calling it "Daming Magical Beast Hunting Cannon" and "Bazooka" will not change its effectiveness.

In history, after the birth of the prototype of "Iron Fist", Klein's Iron Fist, improved models such as Tekken 30, Tekken 60, Tekken 100, etc., and even the final Tekken 250 appeared one after another.

Unlike other models that are disposable and disposable, the Tekken 250 does not preload the propellant inside the launch tube, but installs the propellant at the tail of the warhead, and redesigns the launch device, so it can be reloaded and used.

After the war, the RPG-2 was born with simple changes based on it, and the Chinese imitation type is the Type 56 rocket launcher.

【Iron Fist Series】

Considering that the threat of tanks is not so great that infantry personnel are required to have a bazooka, Zhou Changfeng chose the design idea that can be reloaded and used based on the idea of ​​being more economical.

Based on Tekken 60, he reduced the size of the warhead and reduced the charge to only 400g TNT;
Change the drug-shaped cover from the conical shape to the hemispherical shape that is easier to process but will reduce the penetration depth; the propellant is 80g of black powder;

There are two grips and a shoulder rest on the bottom of the launch tube, and the sight above is a simple double-fold ruler, with four holes corresponding to four distances.

In this way, even if cheap mild steel is used to make the drug-shaped cover, the armor penetration depth is at least about 90mm, and it can still easily destroy most armored targets.

As for the shooting range, he is not sure. After hesitating, he did not design an expansion chamber for it, so the utilization efficiency of the black powder propellant is very low. The maximum range is estimated to be about 90m.

"Okay, if we really fight, at least we can appreciate the Sherman lighter!"

Zhou Changfeng is very satisfied with his work, and even confidently thinks that Daming's military industry department will not need to make major changes to go into production directly, completely forgetting that he is actually only half a bucket of water.

Just when he was debating whether to submit the work directly to the Ordnance Bureau or send it to Yingtian Armory, he got a call and made it directly.

Zhou Changfeng didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect that the call was actually from the same hall of the Ministry of War.

The Huitong Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty was quite special, not only receiving the tribute envoys of the vassal states, but also undertaking the post delivery task of the capital.

Today's Daming Hui Tongguan has been transformed into an agency similar to the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, responsible for receiving and organizing news work at home and abroad.

But now the association is calling to inform him that a press conference will be held tomorrow, and he must be present.

At this point, Zhou Changfeng suddenly remembered what the colonel said to him before he left in the garrison commander.

In fact, he didn't really want to be able to cope with this kind of scene. Although it seemed that he could show off, the pressure he had to bear was not small. The words, conversations, and behaviors on this occasion all represented the image of the country.

The next day, morning.

If the spring and summer dual-use training uniforms with square collars look a bit rustic, then the summer uniforms with cross-collar collars look more energetic.

The main color is a slightly lighter dark green, with arrow sleeves, cross collar, knee-length robe, leather belt around the waist, and short leather boots on the feet.

In order to prevent clothes from wrinkling and pilling, the Ming army has gradually switched to a blended fabric in the past ten years—composed of 70% cotton and 30% acetate fiber. The latter is a new type of man-made fiber. The first country to put it into mass production.

Except that Zhou Changfeng, who was accustomed to the Western-style open collar before crossing, felt a little awkward when crossing the collar, the overall look was simple and elegant, and the dark green color was similar to the pine green he was familiar with.

As for the hat, he felt that the big-brimmed hat shouldn't be too awkward to match with this outfit, but the hat he's wearing now seems to have a high center of gravity?
This is an improved military cap based on the cloud scarf of Zhongjing's uniform. Historically, it was designed by Emperor Jiajing. Now it has been cut to be shorter and the corners are tougher. cap.

After getting dressed neatly, Zhou Changfeng suddenly thought that he still had a knife?

As an honor that only ten people in each subject of Yingtian Armed Forces Academy can get, besides the silver-white pistol, there is also an exquisite Yanling Saber.

Ebony scabbard with polished brass trim on the head and tail.Different from the traditional Yanling Dao, most of the blade is straight, only the front one-fifth is curved with a small arc, which looks very tough.

Isn't this much stronger than some samurai sword?
He walked out with a knife in his hand, and then went straight to the Ministry of War Huitong Hall in a car.

After arriving, I saw that the neighborhood was full of cars, and people of all kinds kept coming in, at least half of them were foreign journalists.

Soon, he was led by two officials to a large room.

There were several officers and officials talking about something inside, but they stopped talking when they saw Zhou Changfeng coming.

The leader is an old man who looks about 60 years old. He is very energetic and not angry.

Zhou Changfeng recognized him—Nan'an Hou Pang Lingqi, the commander of the First Imperial Guard Division, and the commander of the garrison, Tongzhi.

"Professional Zhou Changfeng reported."

Pang Lingqi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Huang Taize used to brag about you, but now it seems that you are indeed a real kung fu, and the fake skills will be exposed as soon as you go into battle."

"Just doing your job."

"That's right, don't take credit for being arrogant... Okay, have you seen the scene now? The press conference starts at ten o'clock sharp, and there has been a lot of bullets and bullets. Can you handle the scene later?"

"Should...it's okay." Zhou Changfeng was indeed a little emboldened.

"Huh? How can there be the word 'should'? Yes, yes."

"Report, I can handle it!"

Pang Lingqi nodded slightly, and reminded:

"But I have to ask a few words. The foreign factory said that some guys at today's press conference wanted to embarrass the court. This aspect is a whirlpool, and political matters can't be explained clearly in a few words."

"We have tried to find an excuse to disqualify some of them from participating, but there must be fish that slipped through the net. You have to be careful when someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, understand?
"If you encounter it, you must deal with it on the spot. If you feel overwhelmed, just ignore it and directly change the subject to ask others to ask. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!"
