The Boers are rich, really rich, and very willing to spend money on armaments! You know, right? IT'S THAT KIND OF 37MM LARGE-CALIBER MAXINE MACHINE GUN! A shell 6 shillings 6 pence! One minute of theoretical rate of fire can knock out a £90 master! The Boers bought! Machine guns, the Boers also had them, so to speak, in addition to heavy artillery, the level of equipment of the Boers was no less than that of the British.

Loving bargains is one of the common human diseases, but this Mr. Krueger is more interested in value for money, he knows that the Boer army is limited in numbers, so he needs an elite army, which can be used as an army of ten! And if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! When Kruger heard that there were better weapons, he naturally forgot about the old ones and looked at the new ones first!

Sir Arnaden patted his chest immediately after receiving the order of Prince Ruprecht, and promised that there would be no problems this time, and several months had passed, and the fact that the chain had fallen off the training ground made him feel uneasy now. However, this time, the newly modified gun has solved the problem of leakage in the hydraulic system. And the rate of fire has also reached the standard of at least 10 rounds per minute!

And in addition to rapid-fire guns, Sir Arnaden, whose knives have been sharpened quickly, has also prepared several kinds of things that will make Kruger addicted at a glance! It's going to be a systematic product pitch! As long as you work hard, the Boer army will be a Bavarian weapon from now on!

"This is our newly improved rapid-fire gun, which can rain 10 shells on the opponent's positions in a minute, and the elevation angle and the left and right firing circles are very large, and if your gunner is experienced enough, it is not impossible to attack the enemy behind obstacles. With just one gun, you can easily suppress a 4-gun artillery battery against the opponent! Sir Arnaden said with a smile.

THIS GUN, NAMED THE M1890 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUN, WAS THE FIRST MASS-PRODUCED GUN PRODUCED BY THE SOUTHERN DESIGN BUREAU, AND WAS SENT TO THE TEST SITE BEFORE THE BAVARIAN FIRST ARMY COULD GET IT. The trajectory of this 75MML30 gun is a little more curved than that of the historical Miss 75, which is considered a howitzer, and has a certain armor-piercing ability when fired directly, and a suppressed gun with a long range when it is fired in a curved fire.

With the help of the traverser, this gun with a maximum elevation angle of 40 degrees has a maximum firing range of about 9 kilometers, which can completely suppress all the guns of the same level that have appeared so far! With a German-style howitzer and a high rate of fire from a French artillery, this weapon is definitely the most terrifying of its class of artillery of the same period!

In front of Kruger, with a dazzling array of loading, locking, firing, and shelling, Arnaden's gunners used all 20 shells in less than 2 minutes! With the flames and smoke of the artillery again and again, accompanied by the brass eggshells that constantly jumped out of the tail of the cannon, a shell of more than ten catties flew towards the target in the distance!

The target area 3 kilometers away was obscured by a series of pillars of smoke, and the straw people used as targets were reduced to ashes under heavy shelling! As the smoke cleared, thousands of square meters of area turned into a white field! The air is filled with gunsmoke and residual flames, which makes people shudder!

"In just one minute, you can blow up 2 platoons of enemy troops to ashes! And at this distance, there is no way to take your artillery, whether it is machine guns or old artillery! Jazz looked at Kruger, who was surprised, and said with some smugness.

"In addition to the powerful artillery, the mobility of this heavy gun is also a great advantage for him!" Sir said, pointing to the hollowed-out gun carriage and low gun shaft. The traverser is not a direct copy of the historical Miss 75, in addition to increasing the elevation angle of the gun and the left and right firing range, the gun carriage was also redesigned, and the smaller pneumatic rubber tires were used to compress the height of the gun as much as possible, although a heavier bipod gun carriage was used, but the weight of the gun was still compressed to about 1150 kg! And the gun shield of limited meaning was removed.

This weight can be pushed by human power when necessary. And for the sake of more convenience horse-drawn towing. The Engineer's salary optimizes the front cart carrying ammunition, and when traveling, the front cart equipped with ammunition is linked to the artillery, and it can be maneuvered with 6 strong military horses.

Looking at the wisp of gunsmoke that had not yet dissipated from the muzzle, Kruger nodded, and under his calm expression was excitement, just one cannon could easily suppress 4 old guns, which was simply too suitable for the sparsely numbered Boers. For a behemoth like Britain, there will never be a problem of enough, so he quietly replaced the 36 75MM Krupp camp guns he originally purchased with 24 M1890 rapid-fire guns, although the total price of the latter is more than 1.5 times that of the former! And it is also necessary to re-procure shells.

"This artillery can be used as a divisional and regimental artillery, but if the troops are battalions or companies, there is a lack of corresponding artillery support firepower. Even infantry can be easily disassembled and carried! "Then Sir Arnaden brought Krugra next to a small mortar." This is a completely new weapon, which is fundamentally different from the previous mortars! ”

"WE CALL IT THE 1888 TYPE 60MM MORTAR! Although the firing range is limited, only about 1200 meters, it can throw 1.5 kg of shells at a rate of 12 rounds per minute on the opponent's position! The weight of this launch system is only 27 kg! It can be completely disassembled into four parts and carried by the infantry! ”

Sir Arnaden introduced while directing the personnel next to him to carry out the simulation operation, and put the cannonball carrying 2 additional firing waist packs from the muzzle, accompanied by the sound of the cannonball sliding, in just 2 seconds, the firing pin at the bottom of the cannon's tail activated the cannonball's letter tube, accompanied by a whistling, the cannonball flew out of the muzzle at a speed of 100 meters per second, and drew a curved arc in the air and landed in the distance! Then a column of smoke exploded!

"It's as simple as that?" Kruger said, rubbing his eyes.

"It's as simple as that, then a child of a Boer can be promoted to the task of a gunner! The maximum weight of the gun after disassembly does not exceed 9 kg! A Boer family can take it away. Kruger's expression made Jazz feel very satisfied.

"And the biggest advantage of this weapon is that the shells are very cheap, and the processing is also very small, and the cheap shells made of cast iron can still easily harvest the opponent's life!"

"Simple, practical, and hugely lethal!" That's what Kruger said about this weapon, although the accuracy is a little worse, but in a defensive state, this gun has a higher rate of fire than a rapid-fire gun, enough to deflate opponents without long-range firepower! And it's so small and so convenient! The ballistics are so weird! A small bunker can cover an entire gun crew! Then easily kill the opponent in the blind spot of the opponent's vision!

"The range is a little closer." When Kruger said these words, even he felt that it was a little too much, 27KG artillery can hit 1 km, what are you not satisfied with? The only purpose of saying this is to keep the price down!

"It doesn't matter, whether you want a smaller weight, or a longer range, we can satisfy you?" Jazz grinned, revealing a slightly sinister smile. He then handed Kruger something resembling a steel pipe. Anyone who has seen this anti-Japanese work probably knows that it's not a Japanese grenadier?

Although the traverser can be said to hate Japan to the core, but I have to admit that this theoretical range of more than 500 meters developed by imitating the grenadier in history is more than 500 meters, does not occupy the establishment, can be directly used with grenades, simple operation, and the cost is not as good as a rifle Dongdong is indeed the favorite of the silk army! Although in fact, the effective range is about 100 meters, but after all, it is farther than a grenade!

AS FOR HITTING FARTHER AND MORE POWERFUL, IT IS, NATURALLY, AN 82MM MORTAR! THIS PROJECT 1889 82MM ARTILLERY GUN WAS THE BACKBONE OF THE BATTALION AND REGIMENTAL FIREPOWER OF THE FUTURE BAVARIAN CORPS. This full set of mortars weighing another 78 kg can hit 6 rounds of 3 kg shells to a distance of 2,000 meters in one minute.

If calculated in terms of the direct range of artillery, this gun can completely deal with direct fire such as Miss 75. You know, the French in the tactical drill before the first World War, can emphasize suffocating the opponent with a fierce projection at a close distance of 1000 meters.

In addition to artillery, the copycat Wicks machine gun is naturally a top priority! When Kruger saw that the machine gun, which originally resembled a small artillery, could be disassembled and carried by the infantry, he immediately made a decision to buy at least 30 to arm the Boer army. Kruger says this thing has the highest priority!
