Chapter 115
Compared with submachine guns and AK assault rifles, of course, assault rifles are more suitable. In particular, among the AK series rifles, in addition to the 30-round curved magazines, there are also 75-round drum magazines!
That's drumming! It is almost equivalent to a small machine gun. Think about the most basic infantry squad, how awesome it will be to have a machine gun per person!
However, Cyric has learned a lesson from the last time he developed a tank, that is, he can't move too fast! There is no golden finger, only your own brain, everything must be done step by step, and you can't be too anxious.
Therefore, first use the existing industrial technology to fiddle with the MP38 series of submachine guns. At the same time, the military personnel in the rear continue to select models and determine the appropriate intermediate caliber ammunition. Assault rifle design finalized!
This was Cyric's plan.
Submachine guns, in addition to armored grenadiers, there are also tankers, and you can also have one! After the MP38 series is folded with the butt, it is very short and perfectly suitable for tank soldiers to carry!
Generally speaking, tank soldiers use tanks to fight, but when tanks fail, tank soldiers can become infantry at any time! The plan of later generations is that the machine guns equipped on the tank can be quickly disassembled, so that the tanker has weapons. However, for a tank crew of five people, two machine guns are not enough. At this time , If everyone has a submachine gun, then the firepower is sufficient!
"Submachine gun? That's great!" Hearing Cyric's words, everyone was excited. Of course, they are not satisfied with the Mauser rifles in their hands. Although the range of the submachine gun is short, the single-shot bolt-action rifle is always incomparable with the continuous submachine gun!
Moreover, Cyric also said that it is a new type of submachine gun, which is definitely more advanced than the existing submachine guns. You must trust General Cyric!
The meeting did not last long. Cyric took over the army for the first time and did not offer any more opinions. After all, Guderian and others are already veterans in organizing the army!
"Our 1st Armored Division, do you have a military song?" Cyric asked suddenly at the end of the meeting.
Army song! Even a school will have a school song, and an army must have a military song to boost morale and increase cohesion.
Everyone shook their heads. They were all big and three rough men. They were busy with the equipment and training of the troops. After all, this was a newly formed army, and everything had to start from scratch!
No one really thought about military songs.
Standing at the window, looking at the tanks outside, Cyric was in a proud mood and couldn't help but sing out of his mouth.
"Whether it's a storm or a snowflake, or the sun smiling on us; hot days, cold nights, dust, but we're having fun, we're having fun."
"Our tanks roared forward, with dust and sand. When the enemy's tanks appeared, we stepped up the gas and went full steam ahead! The value of our lives is to fight for our glorious army! To die for Germany is the highest honor !"
"With thunderous engines, we charged the enemy like lightning from behind solid armor plates. Forward with our comrades, fighting side by side, that's why we were able to plunge deep into the enemy's line and face the enemy's so-called barriers. Give contemptuous ridicule and simply bypass; if the threat of artillery fire is hidden in the yellow sand ahead, we will find our own way and leap on the road to victory!"
"If we are abandoned by the goddess of fate If we can't go back to our homeland from now on If bullets end our lives If we are doomed, then at least our loyal tanks will give us a metal grave."
In later generations, as a veteran World War II military fan, Cyric would sing many songs, including this military song!
Although it is not very exciting and the rhythm is not very strong, this song deeply moved everyone present.
They were all immersed in the atmosphere of Cyric singing. In front of them, there seemed to be a fierce battle. The tanks of their own side were charging forward bravely, charging, and breaking the enemy's defense line!
Even if some tanks are hit by the opponent, the soldiers will not be afraid! At least, one's own tank will give a metal tomb!
"General Cyric, you sang really well!" After a long time, Guderian said to Cyric with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, this is our best military song! It belongs to our glorious first armored division!" Others also echoed.
"It would take a musician to compose the music," Cyric said.
It's embarrassing, Cyric can only sing, but he doesn't understand music, and he can't even sing a musical score. If you want to make this song permanent, the best solution is to find someone to compose it!
It's not ashamed. In later generations, people all over the street will sing pop songs. How many of them can sing songs?
"Well, I immediately sent for Furtwängler, the most famous musician in Berlin!" said Dietrich.
Although Cyric has been serving the German army all the time, after crossing over, until now, it is the first day that Cyric really entered the army life. Listening to the lights out outside, Cyric has a brand new kind of feeling. Feel.
Military life is a must experience! Organization and discipline are what makes the German army so strong!
The next day, Furtwängler hurried to the barracks from Berlin.
"You are very welcome, Mr. Furtwängler, you are the spiritual food of our Germany," said Cyric.
Cyric was familiar with this musician. During World War II, a large number of Jews fled, including many musicians, while Furtwängler chose to stay in Germany.
The famous musician, the German conductor emperor and the best spokesman for the German-Austrian conducting school, was accused by many Jewish musicians of being "Hitler's lackey" because he conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at Hitler's birthday concert in 1942. ".
After the war, Furtwängler was censored, banned from performing, and Americans who investigated tried to find out about his sins in the Nazis, but, in the end, found nothing.
Music knows no borders, he at least wants to study music! Moreover, as a leader in German conductors, Furtwängler has helped many Jewish musicians in the open and secret. As mentioned earlier, Walter, Klemperer and others all successfully escaped to the United States with the help of Furtwängler. Sometimes, holding on is more important and more valuable than fleeing. If no one perseveres, more people will lose help.
Now, in front of Cyric is Furtwängler, who looks thinner and in good spirits.
