The Czech light weapons are quite good, and their caliber is exactly the same as those of Germany. Although the firepower of the zb26 light machine gun is not very sustainable, it is a light machine gun after all.

The German Army's expansion speed is quite fast. Although the elite troops on the front line can be equipped with advanced tanks and become armored divisions, the second-line troops are very poorly equipped. It is still a good idea to equip such machine guns into the second-line troops with the Mauser 98k rifle as the main force.

On the other hand, this gun must continue to be exported, especially in China. The War of Resistance Against Japan is in full swing and requires a large number of weapons. Germany also needs China's resources. At this time, of course, the production of this gun cannot be stopped.

Over the years, transactions between Germany and China have been underway. Germany's weapons are exported to China and exchanged for the various resources needed by Germany.

"In addition to this light machine gun, the Brno factory also needs to produce our more advanced weapons," said Cirick. "Including our mg34 light machine gun, as well as our 6.8mm submachine gun and bullets."

Now, this new 6.8mm submachine gun has been finalized after many experiments. The overall structure is very similar to the later AK series rifles. It has a simple and reliable structure and low failure rate. It has finally entered the stage of mass production.

Now, this submachine gun is officially named mp38 submachine gun, which is completely different from the submachine gun in history.

After being equipped with the army, this weapon was immediately popular. The gap in weapons is quite large. Relying on the German domestic light weapons manufacturing plant, it cannot meet the production needs at all. Therefore, it must be placed in the Czech Republic for mass production!

After all, the Czech Republic is the second largest military factory in the world. With the output of the Czech Republic, it is enough to replace the existing Mauser rifles of the army in an integrated manner. At least the elite troops on the front line must be replaced first.

After large-scale promotion of this submachine gun, the number of bullets required will increase in geometric multiples.

In addition to Germany's production line, which has begun to produce 6.8mm bullets, as the second largest military-industrial power, of course, it also needs to fully convert 6.8mm bullets.

At the same time, a 7.92mm bullet production line must also be retained. After all, machine guns, as well as Mauser rifles used in second-line and snipers, are still 7.92mm bullets.

"I have an idea." Looking at these most famous military experts in Europe, Cialick said: "Can our bullets be replaced by steel?"

The shells and warheads of bullets are all made of copper. Although copper is no longer used as currency, this thing is also a relatively expensive metal.

After interfering in the Spanish Civil War, Germany also gained a lot of benefits. For example, the minerals in Spain were almost monopolized by Germany. The most important one is the Leo Tinto copper mine. With this copper mine, Germany does not have to worry about copper production for the time being.

However, there are many places to be needed, such as bullets.

The bullets of this era are made of copper, and the bullet heads and shells are all copper.

The main reason is that the mechanical properties of copper are good.

When the bullet is fired, it will rub against the barrel and the barrel, and there is rifle inside the gun. If it is hard metal, it may get stuck and explode directly, or the barrel will be worn very much and it will be scrapped after a few shots. Compared with the gun body, the copper texture is much softer and can be fired smoothly.
