Chapter 114: New Weapon Exhibition (Ask for Collection)

After Qin Tian got engaged to Princess Gondelinde, his life also changed. He no longer devotes all his time and energy to his work www.biquge.info but finds time every month to go to Munich, or when Princess Gondlinde comes to Berlin. They are already engaged, and no one will say anything when they are together.

Of course, young men and women are originally dry firewood, just a little bit. On a moonlit night, Qin Tian and Princess Gondelinde merged into one, making Qin Tian, who was a human being in two lives, feel the beauty of the love between men and women for the first time. It also made him addicted for a while.

However, Qin Tian is a person with great ambitions after all. Now he has to think not only about his own future, but also about the future of his lover. Now, he is a crown prince of high status, but once Germany is defeated, he will fall into the sky, and even Princess Gondelind will be greatly affected by this. So, for the sake of the future, he has to work harder.

In October 1908, good news came from the Krupp company that they had completed all the development of the 343-mm naval gun and could enter mass production. At the same time, the development of a 380 mm caliber gun was officially launched. Next, they will invest huge sums of money in the development of such large-caliber naval guns.

In November, Deutsche Arms, a joint venture between Deutsche Industrie and Krupp, achieved success in the light weapons planned by Qin Tian. Semi-automatic rifles, sniper rifles, squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns, as well as mortars and grenadiers, were developed and tested. This made Qin Tian very satisfied. It is still several years before the outbreak of war. If the German Army can start a large-scale rearmament from now on and replace all of these new weapons, this will make the German Army's combat effectiveness rise to a higher level again. In future wars, the likelihood of victory will naturally be greater.

Gustav? For this reason, Krupp rushed to Qin Tian's office to discuss the next move.

"Your Royal Highness, we have developed all the weapons you have asked to develop. Currently, tests are underway. I've asked the experts for their opinions, and since it's not that technically difficult, it won't be too much of a problem. It is expected that the test will be completed in one month. So what do we do next? "Gustav? Krupp stared at Qin Tian with burning eyes.

"Mr. Krupp, if the tests are not a problem, then the next step is to sell these weapons to the Army. I think that if these weapons with excellent performance want to be favored by the army, the problem should not be too big! Qin Tian said.

"Your Royal Highness, the performance of these weapons is indeed very advanced. However, I am afraid that this does not mean that the army will procure it. "Gustav? The smile on Krupp's face faded.

"Oh? Why? Qin Tian was stunned. Could it be that those high-ranking officials of the army have water in their heads, and instead of purchasing excellent weapons and equipment, they will purchase those weapons with inferior performance, and this is not to let more soldiers go to the battlefield to die? In this regard, Qin Tian was unacceptable.

"Your Royal Highness, the performance of our weapons is advanced, but the cost is a little higher, so the purchase price will be slightly more expensive. In addition, Mauser and Rheinmetall will definitely try to thwart us. Their connections in the Army system are not weaker than ours. "Gustav? The expression on Krupp's face was serious.

Qin Tian nodded, he knew Gustav? Krupp meant. Once Deutsche Munitions' products are successful, it will undoubtedly further reduce the share of Mauser and Rheinmetall. It will even cause these two companies to lose money. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for both companies. Therefore, they will definitely use all their forces to stop the German Arms Company. Even if Qin Tian's status was noble and the Krupp Company was huge, it would not make them give up. After all, this is a matter of life and death.

The influence of Krupp in the German Army is indeed very large. However, Mauser and Rheinmetall are not bad either. If the two companies were combined, they could even compete with the Mauser company. Therefore, Deutsche Arms undoubtedly has a long way to go if it wants to succeed.

Even if he knew that the difficulties would be great, Qin Tian would not give up easily. You've already done this, how can you give up halfway? What's more, what Qin Tian did would certainly touch the interests of some people. However, everything he did was for the German Empire to win the war in the future! Qin Tian had a clear conscience about this. He also believes that his painstaking efforts are understandable to others.

"Even so, we can't give up. I am confident that we will be able to succeed. Why don't you do this, next month, on Christmas Eve, we're going to have a new weapons show at the range, and I'll find a way to invite Your Majesty to be there too. When the time comes, the generals of the army will definitely attend. As long as the performance of our weapons can perform well, I am sure they will not talk nonsense with their eyes open. As long as an agreement can be reached, there will be no other way for Mauser and Rheinmetall to be dissatisfied. Qin Tian said.

"This is one way, and I will also mobilize the connections of Krupp to break through the barriers of Mauser and Rheinmetall. This time, no one can stop us. "Gustav? Krupp was similarly motivated.

Qin Tian and Gustav? Krupp then sprang into action. Qin Tian went to the palace and invited Wilhelm II to attend the exhibition of the new weapons of the Deutsche Arms Company. In this regard, Wilhelm II said that he would attend. Although, Wilhelm II was busy. But he still showed his support for Qin Tian. Wilhelm II wanted to see what kind of new weapons Qin Tian could come up with this time. With the example of the navy, he is looking forward to Qin Tian more and more. After all, if Germany's military strength can be further strengthened, even if war breaks out in the future, Germany's chances of victory will be greater.

The General Staff of the Army, the commanders and generals of the War Department, were also invited. Chief of the General Staff Moltke Jr., Deputy Chief of the General Staff General Waldzer, Minister of War von Von? Falkenhain, the Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, will take part in this new weapons showcase. Although they are all big shots, they still have to give Qin Tian's face.

Gustav? Krupp, for its part, urged the R&D department to be foolproof this time.
