Eighty-one mm mortars are used for firepower at the company level, 75 mm cannons are used at the battalion level, and 100 and 5 mm howitzers are used at the regimental level.

But when it comes to this caliber, it's almost the same, and the rest is the naval guns of his two small bases, and that caliber will be talked about when the time comes, how can it be more than 120 mm, or it will be directly used with two or three naval guns of 240 mm, this mainly depends on what the country can provide to him.

Even for now, he didn't even know where to find an eighty-one-millimeter mortar, and this would have to wait until Austria-Hungary.

But these are not difficult, after all, the structure of the mortar is really simple, and a small handicraft workshop can produce it in later generations, and the seventy-five-millimeter Miss France has already been made in France in this era, and there is no reason why Austria-Hungary, which is known as one of the great powers, can't get it, and there are a lot of dry goods in people's hands.

The most famous military enterprises of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the Skoda Arsenal and the Steyr Company, but the Steyr Company mainly produced small arms, most notably the Manlisha eight-millimeter rifle series and the Manlixia pistol, and Skoda was unique in heavy weapons, which was the predecessor of the now famous Skoda Automobile Factory.

Founded in 1859, this machine factory was the largest arsenal in the Austro-Hungarian Empire before World War I, and it was also a large ordnance enterprise in Europe after Krupp, and its large-caliber artillery and armored vehicles were unique at that time.

After the end of the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved, the Czechoslovak Republic was established, and Skoda lost its largest customer and fell into a severe economic crisis, so it could only sell 60% of its shares to Schneider, the French fire giant, in order to obtain the aid of the Czech Bank.

In 1924, Skoda acquired the automobile manufacturer Lauryn Clement and entered the field of high-end luxury cars.

At that time, the Škoda Arsenal was the heavy weapons production base of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, employing more than 100,000 people at its peak.

However, after Gao Hongsheng checked some information in later generations, he was really a little afraid of the intricate relationship between the arms giants in this era, mainly because he was afraid that after these weapons were used by them, after mass production, these weapons would finally be smashed on his head.

These arms dealers had been controlling each other since before World War I, and there was an internationalization of control on the boards of directors of many arms companies.

For example, the famous "Alferred Nobel Explosives Company" has spread its corporate business almost all over the world, from Sweden to South Africa, from Japan to South America, and all these scattered businesses have been concentrated into two huge enterprises: the "Nobel Explosives Company", which concentrates British and German companies, and the "General Explosives Company", which unites French, Swedish, Italian, Spanish and South American companies.

The international leadership of Harvey United Steel, which produced steel plates for marine armor for the British Navy, with Germans, Americans, French, and Italians on its board of directors, and the Austro-Hungarian White-headed Torpedo Company, which was run by the French, British, and Hungarians, ensured that the arms dealers could do business under all conditions.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia were basically two separate blocs before World War I, but the Austro-Hungarian Arsenal and the Vienna Credit Bank, together with Schneider and Société Générale, joined forces to upgrade the technology of Russia's oldest arsenal, the Pukirov Arsenal in St. Petersburg, and were able to start construction of the largest shipyard in the Black Sea region, the Nikolaev Shipyard (where the Liaoning aircraft carrier was built), in the south of Russia.

This is simply to contribute money and effort to help Russia to strengthen its military strength, so that Russia will not be powerless to fight back in the face of Austria-Hungary in the future, is there still a company that dares to do this?

The famous German Krupp company built the world's largest arms empire before the war, and you must not think that Krupp is a company that only serves Germany, this company sells its guns all over the world, and there is no regional and national distinction at all.

The armor plates of the Krupp carburizing method were the best in the world at the time, but by 1914, the capital ships of the British, French, Italian, Japanese, and American navies were all made of Krupp carburizing warships.

Any country could use this method to produce armor, but at the cost of paying a high royalty to the Krupp company, as well as a royalty of nine pounds per ton.

For these big businesses and businessmen, the World War was a feast of wealth, and the irony is that many soldiers encountered weapons produced and sold by their comrades, especially Germany and Great Britain, to almost all countries, followed by France and Austria-Hungary.

The German ** team marching towards Belgium was blocked by German-made machine guns and artillery, and Austria-Hungary encountered Skoda cannons of domestic production when they entered Serbia.

The German Navy encountered British ships equipped with Krupp carburized armor at the Battle of Jutland, and the soft airships used by the British Navy for anti-submarine operations were exported to Britain by the German Parcival Company shortly before the outbreak of the war.

Britain was faced with the same situation, with the Maxim machine guns in the hands of the Germans, and the torpedoes produced by the British in Fum (Rijeka), a company of white-headed torpedoes built by the British in Fum (Rijeka) in Austria-Hungary.

Had it not been for Italy's last-minute surrender to the British Empire, the British Navy might have been able to rival the warships built with British technology, because the two major shipyards of Vickers-Terney and Armstrong Pozzuoli in Italy were built with the help of the British, and those warships were produced in these two shipyards after absorbing British shipbuilding technology.

But in the Dardanelles, the British fleet suffered heavy losses from British mines laid by Turkey, and later by the British Armstrong artillery of the Turkish Army.

This is the table of the arms giants at that time before the First World War, there is no country at all, only profits, the fundamental purpose of manufacturing weapons is to create profits, except for the drugs of later generations, there is nothing greater than the profits of arms, greedy capital is like a predator dragging the whole world into the quagmire of war, and then greedily absorbing nutrients in a chaos.

In such a chaotic situation, Gao Hongsheng was really a little worried, where should his future weapons be customized and produced, so as to avoid being caught by these arms predators, and then finally hit his head.

Germany is impossible, now it should have landed in Qingdao, and built Qingdao into a concession, although it has been very honest and has not expanded everywhere, but his base camp is in Shandong, the devil knows when he can fight with it, when the Germans take their own weapons, crackle and beat themselves that is called depression.

France, Britain, and the United States are impossible, France and Britain are almost the same pants as the Japanese, and the weapons in those two countries are simply given to the Japanese for reference, and the United States seems to be far away, but don't forget that that country has been singing red faces all over the world from the consideration of economic interests, and is actually doing things to support the Japanese to harm China.

Italy should not be funny, even the latest light machine guns have to be hidden and not produced, preferring to import machine guns from other countries to cover up, and when the world war breaks out, its own army will have no light machine guns available.

At present, the only feasible thing is to run the Skoda Arsenal in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to see how to order production, otherwise Gao Hongsheng would not have bothered to find Princess Sissi.

The fundamental purpose of finding that empress is to use her prestige, first, to increase Bo Caiyun's fame, so as to attract those romantic painters to get their hands on the oil paintings, and secondly, to use her empress's name to see if she can get her own weapon system properly, and use her prestige to see if she can suppress those hateful arms dealers to keep their weapon systems exclusive to themselves, and not to spread all over the world.

It is impossible to count on Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai to help, the two soil buns can't help anything except the folds of their faces, and they came to Europe mainly to open their eyes and take the safety of all the people under the escort.

Discussing the issue of weapons and equipment with them is actually no different from playing the piano to the cow, but they are all mixed in the same pot to eat, how can we let them understand the use of weapons and equipment, as well as the current situation of the military equipment of the Western powers, otherwise if there is a conflict with these powers in the future, it is good to know what kind of things they will use to beat themselves, otherwise their eyes will be blackened, and they will not be dispersed by a grenade bomb.

After Gao Hongsheng drew a big round cake, he handed over the problem to the future, God knows what will happen when he finally arrives in Austria-Hungary, everything is unknown, for now, it is better to make money quickly, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to buy advanced weapons and equipment with a lot of pounds in his hand.

In the early hours of the morning, Fei Liya broke in with unfinished regrets, ended his negotiation, and was still a little excited to pull out of the door, towards his nest, along the way Fei Liya chattered endlessly about a qiē in the banquet, and finally Gao Hongsheng, who couldn't bear it, had to drown a qiē in passion with a deep kiss. (Hmmm!) The expository essay is finally over, and finding information is the most annoying and troublesome, and it's much easier later. ）
