Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 177

  Chapter 177 Gun Designer

   After this man named Ludwig Folger stood up and put on his glasses, he had an indescribable literati temperament.

   Fang Lang felt that the person in front of him should at least be a university professor.

  Because of this unhurried demeanor and the bookish atmosphere exuding from his whole body.

   can make you ignore his short stature and glasses as thick as bottles.

   At this moment, Fang Lang had a kind of enlightenment, and finally understood what an ancient Chinese saying: "There is poetry and calligraphy in the belly" means.

   What Fang Lang didn't expect was that after hearing his name, Mr. Folger said directly in Chinese:

   "Nice to meet you too. Mr. Fang! Are you from Huaxia?"

  Although the accent sounds very weird, Fang Lang can still hear it very clearly, and the other party speaks Chinese.

   This Fang Lang was shocked.

   "Yes, Mr. Folger, to be precise, I am a Chinese-Brazilian. I didn't expect you to speak Chinese.

  It seems that you are indeed a very learned person.

  You just said you were looking for a buyer for your research.

   I don't know if you can talk about it in detail? "

  Fang Lang pointed to the sofa beside him, motioned for the other party to sit down and said.

   I don't know if it was because he was praised for his knowledge, but Mr. Folger, who had always looked very temperamental, blushed a little when he remembered his rogue behavior lying in front of the car.

  But he quickly adjusted, and sat on the sofa next to Fang Lang very naturally.

  Open the file bag that has been held in your hand, pull out a thick stack of documents and put it on the small table in the middle of the sofa.

   turned sideways to Fang Lang and said:

   “I am a gun designer in the Mauser factory, and this is a new assault rifle I improved on the basis of my original design STG45.

  I named him Satmai Rifle, I don't know if you are interested in learning about it! "

  When Mr. Folger said that he was a gun designer, Fang Lang's eyes lit up.

   Unexpectedly, he designed an assault rifle.

   This is the main equipment to replace traditional rifles after World War II!

   His gaze involuntarily turned to the stack of documents on the small coffee table.

   "Oh! I didn't expect you to be a gun designer. I wonder what types of guns you have designed?"

   He asked Mr. Folger casually, and reached out to the pile of documents.

   This means that Fang Lang was indeed a little ignorant in his previous life. He only heard that Mr. Folger was a gun designer.

  But I haven't heard of the name of STG45, and I definitely don't know the name of STG44.

  STG44 should be regarded as the earliest assault rifle, but the concept of assault rifle was not clear at the beginning.

   This rifle was reported as a machine gun, but when Mustache saw a machine gun with a range of only 500 meters, he was directly rejected.

  Although Mustache does not understand the excellence of STG44, there are still some people of insight in the army.

   They boldly changed the number of STG44 to MP44.

  It turned into a submachine gun and appeared on the battlefield, receiving unanimous praise from the soldiers on the battlefield.

  Later, Mustache officially named him the STG44 storm-style rifle after he learned about the evaluation of the soldiers on him.

   officially confirmed his rifle status.

   And STG45 is the assault rifle that Germany plans to replace STG44 in the latter part of the war.

  He and STG44 use the same 7.92×33mm short bullet, which is versatile in ammunition.

  But StG45 reduces the rate of fire to only 350 to 450 rounds per minute, saving ammunition and improving accuracy.

  StG44 adopts long-stroke piston plus bolt offset locking, while StG45 adopts the principle of roller delayed recoil.

   There are still some differences in the working principle.

  The roller delayed recoil technology adopted by STG45 was widely adopted by later CETMEL assault rifles, SIGSG510 automatic rifles, HKG3 automatic rifles and MP5 submachine guns.

   And this Mr. Folger was the designer of the STG45 and later the HK company's G3 automatic rifle. Now Fang Lang's Satmai rifle is actually a G3 rifle.

  Mr. Folger heard Fang Lang's question, and after looking nervously at the people around him, he gritted his teeth and said:

   "The MG42 general-purpose machine gun is also designed according to my roller lock principle."

   Looking down at the rifle on the blueprint in his hand, Fang Lang, who felt a little familiar, raised his head and looked at Mr. Folger in shock after hearing the name of the MG42 general-purpose machine gun.

  Even if Fang Lang was a layman in his previous life, he has heard of the top name of MG42!

   This thing is called the "Mustache's Chainsaw"!

  The sound of tearing cloth when it shoots is a nightmare for Allied soldiers.

   "What? Are you the designer of MG42?"

   "No, no, I just designed the working principle of MG42. It was Dr. Grunov who really shaped MG42. The metal stamping process he adopted is the reason for MG42's success."

  Folger waved his hands very modestly.

  This is also true, MG42 was indeed created by Dr. Grunov.

   But Dr. Grunov is not a firearms designer. He is an expert in metal stamping technology, and he believes that machine guns are manufactured using metal stamping processes. It is an inevitable trend.

  The MG42 produced by the metal stamping process not only saves materials and man-hours, but is also more compact, which is very practical for Germany, which lacks metal resources.

   Also let the MG42 stand out among the bidders.

  Fang Lang's mood at the moment simply felt like a big pie fell from the sky, and it didn't hit him on the head.

   Instead, it was stuffed into his mouth.

   This is the designer of MG42!

  In an instant, the weight of the stack of materials in the hand becomes completely different.

  Fang Lang began to carefully study the rifle called Setmai in his hand, and Fang Lang's eyes became brighter the more he looked at it, because he finally recognized the identity of the rifle.

   I still remember seeing this rifle once when I was watching a video and introducing HK, the most famous weapon company in Germany.

   It's just that at that time he didn't call it the Satmai rifle, but the G3 rifle.

   This is the gun type that is called the three outstanding assault rifles together with AK47 and M16!

   Later generations of HK Company relied on this rifle to become a world-renowned arms company.

   Maybe some people have never heard of the G3 rifle, but the submachine gun developed on the basis of the G3 rifle, MP5, no one has never heard of it.

   This is the submachine gun that all major special forces in the world are vying to equip!

   After recognizing the identity of the weapon in his hand, Fang Lang had already decided that he could not let the person in front of him go.

   "Mr. Folger, I don't know how you want to sell your achievement?"

   "Mr. Fang, can you understand my information? Do you need me to explain it to you?"

  Mr. Folger is obviously an academic talent, I am afraid that Fang Lang just glanced at the information briefly, and is not clear about the specific design ideas inside.

  What he didn't know was that the moment Fang Lang recognized this rifle, he had already decided to take him into his own.

   "No, Mr. Folger. I am also a soldier, and I can tell a good weapon from a bad one.

   Don't know if I could know, why would you want to sell this design? "

   Fang Lang stared at the baby bump in front of him with burning eyes.

   "Make a cup of coffee for Mr. Folger."

   He casually instructed Zhuang Xintian who was standing aside.

  A soldier leads the order to leave.

  Folger seemed a little embarrassed about Fang Lang's question.

   After a long while, he said:

   "I need money, I have a family to support, and I haven't worked for more than half a year.

  If possible, I would like to find a job abroad.

   It all costs money. "

  The historical Ludwig Folger did go to Spain after the war.

  Later, the Special Materials Technology Research Center in Spain manufactured this rifle called Satmai. In 1952, this rifle attracted the attention of the US military.

  In 1954, it was changed to fire 7.62mm NATO standard bullets, which were re-imported by Germany and entrusted to HK Company to manufacture.

   "Mr. Folger, I have a military industrial group in Brazil, and now I am short of an excellent gun designer like you.

  If you want to leave Germany to develop, I am willing to hire you as the chief designer of the light weapons research room with a high salary.

   Not sure if you would.

  Of course, whether you like it or not, I will pay extra for this research result.

  You can quote directly now, I will not counter-offer. "

  Folger obviously had never encountered such a tyrannical master, and for a while he didn't know what to say.

  He is a gun designer, not a businessman, and he doesn't know how much he should quote for this weapon.

   Fang Lang quickly saw his embarrassment.

   directly opened the mouth and said:

  “If you are willing to work in my company, the benefits will be doubled on your original basis.

   All research results will give you a certain percentage of patent share according to the sales situation.

  As long as you nod, I can start to calculate your salary today.

  As for this design, you have two choices. One is that I buy it out directly with money, and the other is that I will pay you a certain percentage of the patent share every time I produce one.

  But according to the second method, you must join my company. "

   At this time, Folger was obviously a little moved, and looked at Fang Lang nervously and said:

   "I've heard that there are many Germans in Brazil?"

  “Yes, this time I came to Germany to find some excellent technical talents.

   At that time, there will be a lot of Germans going to Brazil to work together, so you don't have to worry about not having friends.

  If you have your own team and they are willing to go with you, I can also recruit together. "

  Hearing Folger's question, Fang Lang understood that Folger's concern was the same as that of all those who went to work in a foreign country, worrying about not being familiar with the place of life.

  So, I directly told myself the purpose of coming here this time.

   And taking advantage of the situation, let Folger invite some other colleagues to go. Fang Lang believes that excellent people will be surrounded by excellent people.

   In this way, you can easily recruit excellent gunsmiths.

   You must know that the famous Mauser factory is located in Baden-Wurttemberg. Originally, according to Fang Lang's plan, he went to the Mauser factory to dig people after dealing with the Stuttgart matter.

   Now it seems that there is no need, the best talents have automatically jumped into their own bowls.

  What bike do you want?

   "Mr. Fang, is it really possible?

   How many gun designers do you want to recruit? Many of my colleagues are looking for jobs now. If you can recruit together, I would like to go with you. "

  "My factory has just started construction. If possible, I certainly hope to have a full range of light weapon designers to help me improve the design of all types of weapons.

  It is my goal to have a full range of weapons with independent intellectual property rights.

   So I need good gun designers with a real sense of innovation. "
