Iron Germany

"His Royal Highness, I will organize engineers to conduct research and development as soon as possible, and strive to turn these weapons from blueprints into reality in the shortest possible time. By then, we will definitely win the favor of the army in terms of light weapons. At that time, we will also get orders. It will be easy!" Gustav Krupp looked excited.

Gustav Krupp seems to have seen that Mauser and Rheinmetall will be devastated by the German arms company. Most of their market share will be seized by German arms companies.

"Well, with Krupp's research and development capabilities, it shouldn't be a problem to turn these design drawings into reality within a year?" Qin Tian asked. Although Krupp has no achievements in light weapons. However, their research and development capabilities are still very strong.

"One year is enough. Your Royal Highness, we will definitely be able to develop these weapons and equipment within one year." Gustav Krupp promised.

"Mr. Krupp, it would be great if the development can be completed within one year. However, in terms of performance, we cannot compromise. In terms of reliability, we must also strive to be the best. Otherwise, I want to convince the Army It's not that easy for those guys." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Gustav Krupp nodded.

Germany's weapons have always been striving for perfection, which makes the design of weapons very complicated. The most obvious example is undoubtedly the Tiger tank of the German army in World War II. Although the staggered arrangement of road wheels meets the needs of the heavy Tiger tank, it also makes the repair and maintenance of the Tiger tank a disaster. Of course, this was mainly due to the lack of rubber in Germany at that time, and the performance of industrial rubber could not beat, so it had to adopt such a design. In addition, the cost of German weapons is also very high, so that the German army will not equip too many new weapons. This severely restricted the German army's combat power.

In this time and space, Qin Tian naturally wanted to avoid such a situation from happening again as much as possible. Therefore, for the weapons and equipment he designed, he selected weapons with excellent performance as much as possible, and at the same time designed relatively simple weapons. Next, if the technology can be developed enough, he also hopes to develop the AK47. In this case, the combat effectiveness of the German Army will be even more abnormal.

For this cooperation with Qin Tian, ​​Gustav Krupp is very satisfied. Especially those excellent designs that Qin Tian came up with meant huge profits.

"Mr. Krupp, I hope that the development of these light weapons will not affect the development of the navy's naval guns. The navy's naval guns come first." Qin Tian said solemnly.

Qin Tian knew very well that the navy was Germany's shortcoming, and it was also the main reason why Germany would lose the war in another time and space. Therefore, he has always attached great importance to the navy. Only when the navy defeats the British navy, Germany's overseas trade will not be cut off, and Germany will be able to continue the war without being dragged to death by Britain, France, the United States and other countries. As for the army, it is naturally good to be able to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army. Even if this cannot be achieved, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the German Army is the best in the world, and at most it is just that more people die in the war.

Of course, Germany's population is not large. So the life of every German soldier is very precious. If the casualties of the troops can be reduced as much as possible, why not do it?

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. We will definitely put the navy's naval guns first. We will deploy additional people to study light weapons. It will not affect the development of the navy's naval guns." Gustav Ke Rupp nodded solemnly. He knew very well how much Qin Tian valued the navy. If it affects the construction of the navy, I'm afraid Qin Tian will be very dissatisfied. In this case, the cooperation between the two parties will be affected.

"By the way, Mr. Krupp. Do you know the M1897 75mm rapid-fire gun of the French Army?" Qin Tian asked.

"M1897 75mm rapid-fire gun?" Gustav Krupp frowned. Of course he knew about this standard field gun of the French Army. However, no attention has been paid to it. In his opinion, German artillery is the most important. Of course, the performance of these artillery produced by Krupp is the most advanced.

"Mr. Krupp, I promise, it is a very terrifying artillery. If we don't pay attention to it, it will make our army suffer a lot in future wars." Qin Tian said with a serious face.

M1897 French 75mm field gun, also known as Miss 75, was the main artillery of the French army in World War I. Although this kind of artillery weighs only one and a half tons, it has a range of 8,500 meters. What is even more terrifying is the rate of fire of this kind of artillery. The maximum rate of fire can reach 15 rounds per minute. Such a rate of fire undoubtedly exceeds that of the same type of artillery in all other countries. Of course, this also includes German field guns of the same caliber.

In another World War I in time and space, the German army was often hit by intensive firepower from the French artillery when attacking, causing huge casualties.

Although, the German army's main 105mm artillery can suppress the French artillery. But in terms of rate of fire, there is still no comparison. If Germany can have artillery with the same performance, this will further improve the artillery strength of the German Army.

"Is it that powerful?" Gustav Krupp expressed doubts. After all, he firmly believes that the artillery produced by Krupp is the most advanced.

"The French 75mm field gun has a maximum rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute," Qin Tian said.

"What? It's impossible!" Gustav Krupp immediately jumped up with an expression of disbelief.

But when he saw Qin Tian's serious expression, he couldn't help but believe that what Qin Tian said was true.

"God! How did the French do it? How could they let a field gun fire at a rate of 15 rounds per minute? This is too terrifying!" Gustav Krupp was shocked.

"The French have completely solved the recoil problem on this field gun. The gun body can slide on the cradle through the guide wheel, and the cradle is installed on the gun frame, and the gun frame is connected with the piston rod in the recoil barrel. When the piston compresses the hydraulic oil, a part of the hydraulic oil enters the air chamber through a narrow oil valve to compress the air. When the gun sits to the end, it returns to its original position under the reaction of the compressed air. This makes their artillery fire Speed, very fast. Of course, in order to confuse us, they deliberately reduced the rate of fire when they advertised."
