Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Americans' technology is already very bad, and the Japanese's technology is even worse. For a country that can't even make pistols, it can only be said that Amaterasu has appeared in the ranks of the great powers.

The most puzzling thing about the Japanese is their extreme self-confidence.

It doesn't matter if the pistol is not made well. There are so many excellent pistols in the world. You can't learn from Browning or Mauser. Could it be that even Kimberley can't learn from it?

The Japanese just clung to the bastard box, and the Japanese military officer was unwilling to use the pistol to commit suicide. This is how unreliable it is.

The technical content of anti-aircraft machine guns is much higher than that of pistols. The Japanese initially did not equip anti-aircraft machine guns because there was no place for anti-aircraft machine guns in East Asia. It was not until 1925 that Japan developed its first anti-aircraft machine gun.

It is said to be an anti-aircraft machine gun, but it is actually a Taisho 3rd-year model, which is a Hotchkiss replica, equipped with a bracket. Soldiers even have to lie on the ground when shooting. The Japanese have created a new term for this, called "sleep shooting"

”.

This machine gun was not successful. The three-year-old anti-aircraft machine gun used by the Japanese army in the 128th Battle did not shoot down any aircraft. The three-year-old type became a joke.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Japanese. There are many excellent machine guns in the world. Not to mention the general-purpose machine guns developed in southern Africa and the G42 equipped by Germany, Japan still has the ability to imitate Maxim.

The key is not that you don't know how to make it, but that you can't afford it.

Japan is short of resources and must be frugal in everything. The general-purpose machine gun and G42 have a rate of fire that can reach up to 1,200 rounds. Even if Japan imitates it, it cannot afford to use it. There are simply not that many bullets to consume. Maybe it will have to fight with Lee Eun.

Field followed suit and installed a separator plate in the magazine to control the rate of fire.

After the failure of the Taisho III-Type, Japan introduced the Hotchkiss 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun from France. Although this anti-aircraft machine gun is not excellent, it is still much better than the Taisho III-Type. The Japanese army finally has a usable anti-aircraft machine gun.

machine gun.

Although the Hotchkiss is easy to use, with the tripod and aiming device, the total weight reaches 375 kilograms. This is too heavy for the Japanese army. It not only consumes more resources, but is also not conducive to movement. The Japanese army does not have as many troops as the Southern African army.

car.

The Japanese are good at flexibility. Since the Hotchkiss is too heavy, they removed the tripod, simplified the aiming device, and tried every means to reduce the weight.

As a result, although the weight has been reduced, the performance has been greatly reduced. There is still a gap between the monkey version of the weapon and the original version.

And the crux of the problem is that in 1943, in order to strengthen the defense capabilities of fighter aircraft, the Allied forces were desperately piling armor on their aircraft. The "Super Flying Fortress" in southern Africa had armor plates in key parts that were about the same thickness as a "Leopard" tank.

The 20mm machine gun may not be able to penetrate it, and the 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun is almost like scratching an itch.

What's more, the shooting was not at close range, but from an altitude of several thousand meters, which made Hotchkiss even more helpless.

The pilots of the "Super Sky Fortress" were very familiar with the Japanese air defense capabilities, so they stabilized the flying altitude at about 6,000 meters.

This prompted a protest from Colonel Beaufort.

"6,000 meters is too high. It is beyond the visual range of the grenadier. It is impossible to provide visual guidance for 'pure azimuth'." Colonel Beaufort hopes to reduce the altitude to about 3,000 meters, and after dropping the bomb,

A stable flight of at least 30 seconds is required to ensure a "pure azimuth" hit rate.

"Is 3,000 meters too low?" Lu Sen was a little worried and took the initiative to communicate with the pilot. The "Super Sky Fortress" only has armor on key parts. If it flies too low, it will be shot down.

"Ha, it doesn't matter. The Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns are weak and inaccurate. Even if they fly in front of their noses, they can't hit them." The pilot has confidence in the "Super Sky Fortress" and is even more confident about the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns.

Have confidence.

Then lower the height.

The weather is good today, with cloudless skies and clear blue sky. Below the "Super Sky Fortress" is the Japanese military port.

There are few warships in the port. Allied bombers have visited the port many times. Japan has suffered heavy losses and has withdrawn all large warships, leaving only a few old destroyers to fill the gap.

The "Super Sky Fortress" arrived at the predetermined location, the magazine under the belly of the aircraft opened, a "Pure Azimuth" roared down, and all US staff entered combat mode.

"Continue? Why not continue?" Lu Sen was surprised. "Pure Azimuth" only cast one shot, so the Americans were so confident?

"You can only throw one at a time. If the number is greater than one, the signals will interfere with each other." Colonel Beaufort is a good teacher, but he doesn't understand such a simple truth. He is not professional enough.

Lu Sen and other southern African staff looked confused. What does it mean that the signals interfere with each other?

It seems that southern Africa has never had similar problems in this regard.

At this time, the Japanese ground air defense forces finally discovered the "Super Flying Fortress". For a moment, the anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire, and countless bullet belts rose into the sky. The huge fuselage of the "Super Flying Fortress" was hit by bullets, making a clanging sound.

Stop, everyone started to get nervous.

"Keep level flight and don't change direction -" Colonel Beaufort looked nervous and stared at the operator who was controlling the "pure azimuth".

The operator is constantly adjusting the "pure azimuth" flight attitude through the telescope.

About ten seconds later, the operator suddenly raised his head with a confused look on his face.

"How's it going?" Colonel Beaufort looked expectant.

"Sorry Colonel, I lost the bomb?" The operator's face turned red.

"What do you mean?" Colonel Beaufort didn't understand immediately.

"It means - it means - the bomb flew out of nowhere -" the operator looked ashamed.

Lu Sen was stunned. A bomb that was several hundred kilograms in size flew to nowhere!

Are you here to test weapons?

Let's be funny!

"Change the course, let's come again-" Colonel Beaufort's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. It is estimated that this is not the first time this has happened.

This is normal, the birth process of new weapons is always full of ups and downs.

"Don't lose it this time -" Colonel Beaufort emphasized.

The operator regained his composure and almost climbed onto the telescope.

This time the bomb was not lost.

Thirty seconds after the bomb was dropped, everyone on the "Super Flying Fortress" clearly saw a water column up to tens of meters high rising from the side of a Japanese destroyer.

This is a miss.

"Come again!" Colonel Beaufort gritted his teeth.

The Germans used 6 "X" missiles, sinking one battleship and seriously damaging another.

The Americans have dropped two "pure azimuth" missiles, one was lost, and the other failed to hit. So far, the results have been zero.

"How much fuel do we have?" Lu Sen was worried that if this continued, the experiment would be unable to be completed if all the fuel was used up.

"It's still enough to fly for four hours -" the pilot counted, not good.

It took the "Super Sky Fortress" three hours to fly from Borneo and another three hours to fly back. In this way, the "Super Sky Fortress" could only stay in the air for one hour.

"Colonel, we don't have enough time-" Russon reminded Colonel Beaufort that there are still experiments to be done here in southern Africa.

"Okay, I understand—" Colonel Beaufort's face turned pale. This was already the fifth "pure azimuth" shot, and it still failed to hit the damn Japanese destroyer.

There are only five "pure azimuth" missiles installed on the "Super Sky Fortress".

Thirty seconds after the last bullet was thrown, the pilot quickly pulled the plane up without Lusen's reminder, no longer wasting Japanese bullets.

It's funny to say that the Japanese have not developed any anti-aircraft guns with a caliber above 25 mm until now.

Otherwise, the 25mm anti-aircraft gun shells equipped with delay fuses are still enough to pose a threat to the "Super Flying Fortress".

Compared with "pure azimuth", precision guided bombs in southern Africa are huge.

This time, the pilot didn't even fly above the port. The controller threw the bomb out early. The "Super Sky Fortress" drew a graceful arc in the sky and turned around to run away. Both Ruson and Colonel Beaufort squeezed in the porthole with telescopes.

beside.

"Your bombs don't need visual guidance?" Colonel Beaufort said belatedly.

"No, our bomb is relatively big, so we simply installed a camera on the bomb." Lu Sen didn't hide it. It doesn't matter if I tell you. Do you have a camera? Can you install it?

"The camera is so big, how did you mount it on the bomb?" Colonel Beaufort had seen cameras before. Cameras are nothing new now. When the Olympic Games were held in Southern Africa in 1928, there were already cameras recording live programs.

By the time Southern Africa hosted the Friendship Games, live broadcast technology had begun to become popular.

Of course, the cameras used for live broadcasts near the stadium are relatively large, about the size of a room.

"The kind of camera you mentioned will definitely not work. We use professional military cameras, which are small in size, have clear images, and are not easily interfered with." Lu Sen is honest and tells you clearly that you will not do it either.

"So you can remotely control the bomb just like watching TV." Colonel Beaufort looked bitter, finally realizing the gap in precision guidance with southern Africa.

"More or less, the key is signal transmission. My teacher is very good at this -" Lu Sen smiled all over his face. Below the "Super Sky Fortress", a precision guided bomb launched from southern Africa accurately hit the Japanese destroyer anchored in the port.

.

The bomb directly penetrated the deck of the destroyer and exploded in the belly of the destroyer.

The destroyer was blasted like paper, torn apart and shattered into pieces. The huge explosion stirred up thick smoke into the sky, and the crew did not even have a chance to jump into the sea.

"Who is your teacher?" Colonel Beaufort's eyes had left the telescope, so he didn't need to look at it.

"My teacher is Mr. Nikola Tesla." Lu Sen beamed. This experiment was a complete success, and Nikola Tesla made a huge contribution.

In the next few days, the Americans conducted many more tests. It was not until all 40 "pure azimuth" missiles were fired that the Americans stopped.

The results are terrible.

None of the Americans' forty "pure azimuth" missiles hit the target. Four of them lost control after being launched, and two did not explode at all. Most of them had fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

However, it doesn't matter even if the Japanese find the two "pure azimuth bombs" that did not explode. The Americans themselves have not succeeded. Even if the Japanese find the bomb, they cannot perfect it.

Colonel Beaufort's face has been looking very ugly these days.

Not to mention southern Africans, even Americans did not expect that all 40 "pure azimuth" missiles failed.

This is really embarrassing. At an altitude of 3,000 meters, even if a blind cat bumps into a dead mouse, a few of them should hit the target successfully.

After all, at this height, even ordinary bombs have a pretty good hit rate.

This is a "precision-guided" bomb.

After the last day of experiments, Luson is about to return to Nyasaland.

Colonel Beaufort asked Russon to have dinner at the Officers Club at Changi Naval Base.

The service at the Officers Club is quite good, the dishes are rich and delicious, and the key point is that the prices are not expensive. It is very popular among Allied officers and soldiers.

"I'm going back to the United States tomorrow. It's nice to meet you, Lu. If I have the chance, I will go to southern Africa. Then I will be a guest at your home." Colonel Beaufort was reluctant to leave and took the initiative to toast to Lu Sen.

"It's settled. When you arrive in southern Africa, I'll invite you to my farm as a guest." Lu Sen was very happy. The weather in Southeast Asia was a bit hot. Lu Sen had suffered a lot these days and was bitten by mosquitoes several times.

A big bag.

This is also thanks to the advanced medical technology in southern Africa.

If it were a few decades ago, Lu Sen might have lost his life in Southeast Asia. Mosquito bites are an important way to spread diseases.

"You are so lucky to have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Nikola Tesla. He is a great man, but he is unknown to most Americans. The American media almost never reports on Mr. Nikola Tesla.

News." Colonel Beaufort looked bitter. The United States has lost too many talents over the years, and most of them have gone to southern Africa.

Compared with southern Africa, the United States is closer to Europe, so theoretically, the United States is the first choice for Europeans to immigrate.

Probably after World War I, this situation reversed. More and more Europeans regard Southern Africa as their first choice for immigrants. Even many Americans come to Southern Africa to study and work, and the population of Southern Africa has long since

surpassing the United States and ranking third in the world.

This is a very remarkable achievement.

When Southern Africa was founded, the official population was only 2 million.

In less than 40 years, the population of Southern Africa has reached the third place in the world, already exceeding 150 million. Probably since the Great Depression, the federal government of Southern Africa has stopped all preferential policies on immigration and has even begun to

Immigration restrictions still cannot stop the influx of new immigrants from all over the world.

"It's not surprising. News about teachers rarely appears in the news media in southern Africa." Luson comforted Beaufort.

"Can this be the same?" Beaufort didn't need such comfort.

The same is not reported, but the situation in the United States and southern Africa is completely different.

The federal government of Southern Africa deliberately reduced the news about Nikola Tesla out of protecting Nikola Tesla.

The American media was too embarrassed to report it. After all, family scandals should not be made public.
