You read it right. The third project that Fang Lang wanted Girard Bull to research was the rocket launcher. Anyone who has watched the movie or played the game should be familiar with this thing.
After all, in later movies, the image of American soldiers shouting "RPG" at every turn and then dodging in a panic is indeed impressive.
The RPG was developed by the Soviet Union based on the German Panzerfaust.
Of course, its main function is to attack armored targets, but after later development, many different warheads were derived, and its application scenarios were further expanded.
In later war scenes, his chance of appearing is much higher than that of mortars.
It’s not that it is more powerful than the mortar, it’s mainly because it is easy to use and cheap.
Anyone who can shoot can pick it up and use it directly.
Unlike mortars, which require observation, aiming and calculation in order to hit the target accurately.
During World War II, the Allied forces were equipped with a large number of American-made bazookas, so Girard Bull must have been very familiar with this simple and practical weapon.
...
...
As soon as Fang Lang called out the name "Bazooka", he understood what the other party wanted. He nodded without hesitation:
"Of course, this type of rocket launcher is equipped in large quantities in the Allied forces. It is the main combat equipment of the US military, and many factories in the United States have obtained its production license."
"Then can we improve the bazooka and turn it into a single-soldier anti-tank weapon with higher accuracy and longer range?"
Fang Lang looked at Girard Bull expectantly. He nodded and said:
"No problem, but the working principle of this equipment is very simple, and there is not much room for improvement. You'd better be mentally prepared."
Fang Lang had anticipated this. What he wanted to obtain was a single-soldier rocket launcher like the RPG.
If you want a longer range and greater power, you have to look at later anti-tank missiles, which obviously exceed the working range of individual rocket launchers.
He nodded and said:
"No problem. We need to first solve any problems with these devices, and then slowly improve them to see if we can achieve more advanced performance through continuous improvements."
These equipment could have been produced and developed by other factories, but the time would definitely be affected.
The artillery factory is the most advanced military factory in his possession, with the most equipment and the highest quality workers.
It would be a waste if we don’t make good use of so many advantages.
While Fang Lang was visiting the artillery factory, a trial of the century involving him was taking place in the capital Rio de Janeiro.
The brothers Briso Eddie and Raymond Eddie of the Eddie family of Brazil were taken out of prison by a team of fully armed bailiffs and sent to the military court under the Brazilian Ministry of Defense for trial.
This trial attracted a lot of public attention. After all, the family's treason had become almost known to everyone through daily follow-up reports by the news media.
Even if they are illiterate, when two people stand together, they can confidently talk about a lot of gossip and secrets about the family.
After all, many tabloids in Brazil may not be able to dig up the latest criminal evidence about Eddie's family, but can't gossip stories between family members be made up as long as one has imagination?
What's more, there is already a heroine named Mizuno Korei, and she can give full play to her abilities.
For a time, gossip about Eddie's family was rampant, and every Brazilian could tell several versions of the story.
In the Eddy family, there are more men who have had an affair with Mizuno Korei than just Craig Eddy and his son Raymond Eddy.
Even Briso Eddy, who had a very low presence in this case, became one of the male protagonists.
Female members of the family were also repeatedly married to men such as the household’s housekeepers and servants.
In short, the entire Eddie family has become the most filthy existence that the Brazilian people can think of.
Because the Eddie family controls Brazil's security system, many people who have been oppressed by the police vent their hatred on the other side.
Even Brazilian police are often pointed at by civilians when walking on the street.
The government did not do any publicity for the two men's trial.
The trial venue is also a military court, which is not open to the public.
But it still attracted the attention of the general public.
Early in the morning, a large number of civilians came to the prison gate from all directions using various means of transportation.
I wanted to witness the process of the two brothers Brisso Eddy and Raymond Eddy being sent to the military court.
The bailiffs who were responsible for escorting the two brothers in prison had just taken them out of the prison when they were told that the outside was surrounded by civilians and reporters who had rushed in from all directions.
As the escort commander, Milovich became very nervous when he heard about this situation and quickly asked his superiors for help.
“Sir, the situation is very tense right now, and the prison is surrounded by reporters and civilians.
I am very worried that they will do something to harm the prisoners, which may cause accidents in our escort mission."
“What’s going on? How did the reporters and civilians know when you started your escort mission?
Don’t you even have this sense of confidentiality?”
When his superiors heard Milovich's report, they were furious.
When Milovich heard the reprimand from his superiors, he looked dissatisfied and asked, "What do you mean we have no sense of confidentiality?"
How can you be sure that the news of this operation was leaked from us!
But he couldn't talk back to the other party directly, so he could only continue:
“Sir, there is no way to verify where the news was leaked from.
But our team only had twenty people, and there were more than two hundred journalists and civilians outside the prison.
The warden has arranged prison guards to help maintain order, but looking at the current situation, it is obviously not enough and we urgently need to strengthen our force.
This is just the danger at the prison gate.
Our entire escort process was nearly 20 kilometers long, and I was very worried about whether there would be other situations along the way."
"So what are you going to do now? The trial is getting closer and closer!
Even if I send you support now, it's too late."
Milovich seemed to have anticipated this situation. He looked around the office, confirmed that no outsiders were there, and spoke directly:
“I wanted to ask the prison guards to help me, pretending to escort the prisoners out, and lead the people outside away.
Our two teams took ordinary cars and quietly followed behind to take the real criminal to the court."
When the superior heard this, he immediately refused to do it and shouted:
“No, that’s too risky.
If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
Milovich seemed to have anticipated his superior's reaction and spoke again:
“Sir, the road from the prison to the military court is now full of people and reporters waiting to see Brother Eddie.
If we continue to leave the prison openly, we will definitely become the focus of everyone.
With people watching all the way, there was no way to guarantee that he would arrive at the court on time for the trial.
According to my plan, only after everyone's attention has been attracted can we smoothly send the criminal to court for trial.
As for the risk, I don't think it is risky. On the contrary, it is really risky to follow the original plan and let the two of them ride in the prison van and send them to the court.
After all, all the people hate these two people very much, and I am worried that someone will not be able to resist and take action against them."
The commander and Milovic had the same view on this point. They both felt that the danger of escorting the two men might be that someone would want to kill them directly.
So, in name only, they were responsible for escorting the Eddie brothers to court for trial, but in reality, they needed to protect the two men and ensure they arrived at the court alive for trial.
After hearing his suggestion, Milovich's superior still rejected it without hesitation:
“No, we have to follow the procedures. I can ask the warden to arrange prison guards to assist you in escorting the prisoners to the court as originally planned.
However, you are not allowed to change the plan without permission and transport the prisoners by car.
If an accident occurs, no one can take responsibility.”
Seeing that his superior was not willing to listen, Milovich was very angry and hung up the phone, cursing:
"Responsibility, responsibility, all you do is dread taking responsibility. You have no guts at all. You're just sitting there doing nothing. You're a jerk."
A soldier standing next to Milovich raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his hand, and whispered to him:
"Boss, what should we do now? It's too late."
From the upper floor of the prison, Milovic glanced at the dense crowd outside the gate and felt that it was too dangerous to take the prisoners out of the prison directly as originally planned, using four cars to escort a prison van. As soon as everyone saw the prison van, they knew that the Eddie brothers must be locked in it.
Everyone will surround them, and it will be too dangerous to send the two of them to the military court smoothly.
Finally, Milovich gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and simply slammed the table and said:
"Never mind. Let's follow my plan. Let the prison guards escort the two fake prisoners to attract everyone's attention. We will take a private car and take another route to send the two to the court."
When the people behind him heard Milovich's words, they all looked worried, and the soldier who had just spoken directly said:
“Boss, but this plan has not been authorized!
If there is a problem, we are finished! ”
Milovich glanced at everyone in the room. These were brothers who had been through life and death together, and they all trusted each other.
After hearing what the soldier said, Milovich looked at everyone and said:
"Only a few of us brothers know about this plan. Don't you trust us brothers?"
Upon hearing this, the soldier became anxious and stood up and said:
"Boss, that's not what I meant..."
Milovitch interrupted him with a wave of his hand:
"To tell you the truth! This mission is not easy. Intelligence shows that the younger brother of the white-headed old man who was slaughtered on the island has gathered a group of desperate criminals and vowed to kill Brother Eddie directly.
If we escort the prisoner van directly to the military court as originally planned, we will be attacked. That is why I want to use a small car to quietly transport the prisoners. "
When everyone in the room heard this, they were all shocked and their hands holding the guns tightened a little.
"What? Boss, do the higher-ups know about this?
Why did you only send a small team like us to escort them?"
A soldier looked at Milovich with disbelief.
Hearing this, Milovich smiled bitterly and shook his head:
“I don’t know whether my superiors know about this news.
But I can assure you that the information I received is absolutely accurate.
This is also the reason why I must escort him quietly.
I can't joke with the lives of our brothers."
