Chapter 319 318. German Army Star (Monthly Pass 53+)

Dao and Godzilla moved quickly, and the goods in the two warehouses entered the Iron Knight.

Li Du put some valuable and valuable things into the trunk of the Hellcat. Muscle cars have this advantage, and the trunk is huge.

Li Du sat in the driver's seat, and he played music. Suddenly, the Harman Kardon subwoofer under the trunk lid roared.

The Hellcat can not only run, but its accessories are also very luxurious. There are 18 speakers in the whole car, which are enough to bring people a powerful auditory experience.

But all the sounds of nature are not as good as the roar of the HEMI engine. He twisted the key to start the ignition, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away with a bang.

"Medicine! Medicine! Medicine! Cheek Nao! Anti-mother Angbei nose is enough! Move it, hit it, move it, move it, move it! Wan, vomit, broken, Buddha—who is singing!! Move it big time !! Warm the loneliness..."

Hans crazily twisted his body in the co-pilot following the music, while Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodle behind were dazed, covering their ears with their paws.

They have keen hearing, and the sound in the car is not very loud, but it is a bit deafening when combined with Hans' howling.

Hans' performance reminded Li Du of a famous saying: Music is a shortcut to communicate in different languages.

He usually spoke Mandarin, but Hans didn't learn a few words, but this guy learned most of the Chinese songs he usually played.

For example, the current DJ version of "Above the Moon", Hans sang decently.

After they hit the road, they didn't go directly back to Flagstaff City, but went to Veterans World first.

The shopping guide already knew them, and when he saw them coming, he asked, "Are you looking for Morris?"

Hans said: "Yes, tell him we brought a fun guy."

Soon, Morris, who got the news, came out with a big belly.

From a long distance away, he laughed boldly and said, "Haha, you are here again? Welcome, every time you come, I will make money, it is really great."

"You're going to make a lot of money this time." Hans immediately hooked his shoulders after passing by.

Morris asked expectantly, "What?"

Hans took him to the parking lot at the entrance, Godzilla opened the compartment door, and then the trench mortar in the middle appeared in front of them, pointing straight at them.

Seeing this cannon, Morris' eyes straightened, and his breathing quickly became short of breath.

Hans stood up to him and asked, "Well, you like this thing, don't you?"

Morris pushed him away rudely, and shouted: "Fuck, I like riding horses so much! How did you get this thing? Can you travel through time?"

"Of course not." Li Du laughed.

Morris said excitedly: "Why can't it be? How can it be impossible? You brought the machine guns from World War II last time, and this time it's even more ruthless, the 170-caliber trench guns from World War I!"

Li Du asked: "This is a 170-caliber trench gun? It is a product of World War I, isn't it?"

Morris nodded and said: "Yes, this grumpy fat boy is a product of the First World War, don't underestimate him guys, this guy was a star at that time!"

Li Du said: "Tell us about it, obviously you have a unique understanding of it."

Morris said: "Let's talk about its origin first. Since the beginning of the 20th century, both warring parties have relied on deep trench barriers to confront each other."

"You know, the purpose of trenches is to avoid machine gun fire and artillery bombardment. Ordinary artillery can't do anything about these fortifications, so trench guns were born."

"The German army especially likes this kind of gun. This 170mm trench gun is one of the best. Go, someone get me a ruler?"

Morris yelled, and an attendant brought him a tape measure.

Li Du didn't understand what he was doing, so Morris used it to measure the barrel length of the gun.

After measuring the result, Morris said enthusiastically: "76.5 cm, this is an improved version with a long barrel. The original version of the 170-caliber trench gun is only 64.6 cm long."

"With such a short barrel, what power can it have?" Hans asked.

The length of the barrel of a cannon is closely related to the initial velocity and range of the shell. In theory, the longer the barrel, the more favorable the effect of the high-pressure gas in the barrel on the shell, so that the greater the initial velocity of the shell, the longer the range.

Morris said: "It depends on what you want it to do. The purpose of the trench gun is to solve the solid fortifications on land. Its range is not far. The maximum range of this gun should be 1600 meters, and the effective range is 300 meters."

Hans shook his head and said, "That's too close, a machine gun can easily deal with it."

Hearing what he said, Morris laughed and said, "No, the machine gun can't do anything about it, because it can hide in trenches, and that's where its name comes from."

Compared with the shells used by ordinary artillery, the shells of trench mortars can carry more explosives, and the trajectory is more curved, so they can hide behind trenches and hit targets behind obstacles.

In this way, with the trench gun, as long as the trench is dug to a distance not far from the fortification, it can be bombarded with shells.

For infantry, this thing is an important helper. Without trench guns to solve fortifications, they have to carry explosives to solve their opponents. This is how Mao Zedong sacrificed.

"During the First World War, the 170mm trench guns increased from 116 at the beginning to 2,361 at the end of the war. It was well received at the time." Morris said.

"and after?"

"It was phased out because it was too heavy. With the wheels, the gun could be transported by four people for a short distance. But without the wheels, it would take 17 people to move it."

Morris went on to say: "Besides, the inside of the trench is not wide enough, so we can only increase the elevation angle. If it is too high and the distance is short, it will be a living target outside the trench. Moreover, trench warfare often requires charging and retreating. Such things are cumbersome."

"But it has been a star after all, so its worth should not be low, right?" Hans asked.

Morris nodded and said, "You've found the right person. If you didn't find me, this cannon might not be able to sell for much."

After hearing this, Hans regained his energy and said, "How much can you give me for this cannon?"

Morris said: "Don't rush to negotiate the price, I have to check whether it is genuine."

As he said that, he climbed into the car and looked at the base of the cannon. He nodded and said, "It has the logo of Rheinmetall, and it is well preserved. At least the lower part is fine."

He checked some accessories one by one, and after checking them again, he got out of the car and called someone to go to the warehouse to take out something.

When the thing was brought out, Li Du and the others were stunned: "Damn it, aren't you going to shoot?!"

Morris' employees took out a shell from the warehouse, and it was a big shell, like a small bucket...
