Chapter 396 Military Equipment Upgrade G43 Semi-Automatic Rifle
Ten days later, Su Zhengyang appeared in Yong'an City, Linzhou, in the northwest. The purpose of his coming here was, firstly, he received an invitation from Zhai Wanqing, the head of the Military Science and Technology Research Institute, to see the latest research and development results of the Military Science and Technology Research Institute; secondly, to hand over the drawings of the G43 semi-automatic rifles he bought from the system to the Northwest Arsenal so that they could carry out large-scale production. After a certain number of G43 rifles were produced, the front-line troops would carry out large-scale equipment updates.
The smoke of war is always spreading around the world. The main force of the northern border still relies on the 98k rifle of the German army during World War II. This classic weapon has become the representative of the world's first-class rifles with its accurate shooting and reliable performance. However, the wheel of time is rolling forward, and technological innovation is also constantly promoting the evolution of weapons.
In this era of change, Northern Xinjiang faces new challenges and opportunities. Although no country in the world has truly developed a semi-automatic rifle, the exploration and research of this new type of weapon has quietly been put on the agenda. The emergence of the G43 semi-automatic rifle seems to provide Northern Xinjiang with a brand new choice.
The G43 rifle has attracted great attention from the Northern Xinjiang military for its advanced design concept and excellent performance. Its semi-automatic shooting method can greatly increase the shooting speed and firepower density, allowing soldiers to better respond to emergencies on the battlefield. At the same time, the accuracy and reliability of the G43 rifle are not inferior to the 98k, which makes it more powerful on the battlefield.
For Northern Xinjiang, if the G43 semi-automatic rifle can be widely deployed, its overall strength will undoubtedly be improved by several levels. Such a change can not only bring advantages to Northern Xinjiang in terms of technology, but also greatly encourage the morale of the soldiers.
In fact, at the beginning, Su Zhengyang's target was not the German Army's G43 rifle, but the US Army's M1 Garand rifle. This was because during the entire World War II, the production of the G43 rifle was not large, and the popular model was not widespread. The reason why Su Zhengyang chose to buy the drawings of the G43 rifle again was because he had read the information of the G43 rifle in detail in the relevant information of the firearms in the system mall.
The performance of the G43 rifle is more reliable and stable than that of the M1 Garand rifle. The most important thing is that the caliber of the G43 rifle is consistent with that of the 98K rifle, which can reduce a lot of logistical pressure.
Before officially purchasing the blueprints, Su Zhengyang once again checked a series of detailed information about the G43 rifle in the system mall.
This is a semi-automatic rifle equipped in the line of fire. Its predecessor is the G1941 semi-automatic rifle finalized by Walter in 41. On the Eastern Front, Kar98k not only encountered Mosin-Nagant, but also encountered the powerful Tokarev SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle. If you want to say that it is evenly matched with Mosin-Nagant, and who is better and who is worse, it will encounter a semi-automatic rifle that no longer needs manual feeding. The firing rate alone can suppress the German infantry using Mauser 98K in the trenches.
The G41 was hastily pushed into the firing line. Many of the G41's designs were still relatively crude, such as top loading, bulky gun body, etc. Walter was also aggressive and launched the Gewehr 1943 (also known as the G43) in 43.
This is a good gun with excellent reliability and accuracy. It should be said that with this, you should no longer be afraid of the M1 Garand, SVT-40, etc.
However, Germany's war potential had suffered a devastating blow, its heavy technical weapons had been lost, and the production of G43 had always been low, ultimately reaching only 40 units.
This outstanding rifle accompanied Hitler's empire to its end without fully completing its dance of war.

G43 semi-automatic rifle
In the system mall, the price of the detailed production drawings of the G43 semi-automatic rifle is 30 system points. For Su Zhengyang, who now has a huge sum of more than million points, it is really not worth mentioning. After making up his mind, Su Zhengyang directly purchased the drawings and handed them over to Guan Shan, the current general manager of the Northwest Arsenal.
After carefully reading the extremely detailed production drawings in his hand, Guan Shan rubbed his eyes, raised his head and said to Su Zhengyang: "Mr. President, the production and manufacturing of this semi-automatic rifle is not difficult. With the current gun manufacturing level of our Northwest Arsenal, we can complete large-scale mass production. I estimate that if the rifle production line in the arsenal is fully operational, the output can reach one million in half a year. Together with other branches, eight months is enough for all front-line troops to complete the replacement."
Su Zhengyang nodded with satisfaction. After leaving the Northwest Arsenal, Su Zhengyang came to the military research center located in the new city area in the western suburbs of Yong'an City.
Yong'an City, this former small city in the northwest, has now become a shining pearl in the northwest of China. Two years ago, it was only a city with an area of about 260 square kilometers, but time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has expanded to a vast territory of nearly 1,200 square kilometers.
The city's expansion speed is staggering, and its permanent population has reached an astonishing 9 million. In this era, such a number is undoubtedly extremely exaggerated.
In comparison, the population of Shanghai, known as the Pearl of the Orient and the Window of the World, is only about four million. The speed and scale of the rise of Yong'an City are amazing.
Today, Yong'an City has officially become the largest city in the northwest region, and its economic strength, political status and cultural influence are constantly rising. The prosperity and vitality of this city have attracted the attention of countless people and become a desirable place.
In Yong'an City, the main road from south to north is known as "Yongchen Street". This 45-kilometer-long street has witnessed the vicissitudes of Yong'an City and has now transformed into a magnificent commercial corridor.
The street is wide enough to accommodate twelve carriages running side by side, showing the city's high regard for trade and transportation. Pedestrians are constantly passing by on both sides of the street, and shops are lined up next to each other, with a wide variety of goods, from jewelry and jade to local specialties. This is not only a place for commodity trading, but also a center for cultural and information exchange.
Over the past year, wars broke out frequently in various parts of the northern border, but Linzhou in the northwest remained stable. It was precisely because of this rare tranquility that Linzhou became a safe haven in the hearts of countless ordinary people and landlords. They moved here one after another to seek refuge and peace.
This wave of population migration has undoubtedly injected new vitality into Linzhou. As a result, Linzhou's development has once again reached a new level. The influx of new residents has brought about diversified economic and cultural exchanges, making Linzhou gradually become the economic, political and cultural center of the northern Xinjiang region.
Yongchen Street, a street that witnessed the rise of Yong'an City, has now become a symbol of Linzhou's prosperity. It not only connects the north and south of the city, but also connects people's hearts. Here, people can find their own dreams and hopes, and jointly write a new glorious chapter for Linzhou.
