The Iriaste shipyard received orders for only three foreign battleships, two for the Argentines and one for Brazil, and the design of these three battleships was made with minor changes in accordance with the newly built "Combined Forces" class of the Reich, slightly enlarged hulls. Heldon's expectation was to win orders for two or three Russian or Japanese ships in 1912, but he couldn't do so. The Japanese had always ordered warships from British shipyards, where the diplomatic aspect predominated, while the Russians decided to build their own.

In the past two years, Lehydon's focus has clearly shifted to the construction of the Imperial Army, and the two happy news are that Bolojevich has been promoted to commander of the Croatian-Slovenian Military District, and the lieutenant general who was deeply influenced by Lehedn's military ideas has expressed his full support for Lehedn's army reform program.

Another piece of news was that he would also be the commander of the Tyrolean Defence Forces, so that he would have de facto command of the army. Although the Royal Tyrolean Marksmen had only four infantry regiments, Lechelton was confident that he could expand them to two or three well-trained mountain infantry divisions within three years.

Having transformed the naval garrisons in Trieste and Bora into two slightly larger and more offensive Marine Brigades, Helton prepared to form his third Marine Brigade in Gruaro, near the Italian-Austrian border. The Austro-Hungarian military industry was never short of manufacturing capacity, with Carlsen, Steyr, Linz and Trieste all famous ordnance producing places, with enough annual production capacity to arm an army of 5 million if mobilized.

However, the officials of the Imperial War Office focused only on the manufacture of heavy artillery, heavy machine guns and heavy mortars, and neglected the development and equipment of light support firepower. In fact, in 1903, the Danish army began to be equipped with the "Madsen" light machine gun, which weighed less than 10 kg with a good design, but the sustained firepower was slightly worse.

But this was not a problem, the thirty-round magazine actually proved to be a balanced choice in later generations, as too heavy a chain or drum would affect the infantry's mobility, and in the absence of mechanical transport, there was always a limit to the infantry's carrying capacity and carrying capacity. In 1905, the Maschinenbaulia purchased the patent for the "Madsen" machine gun, and the gunsmith of the Carlsen-based branch was later succeeded by the firearms designer Wakalough. Harrick & Rudolph. Jay Lun also designed an air-cooled machine gun with a replaceable barrel based on the principle of air-conductive automatic bolt machine.

Tested in-house by Islaia, the Carlson 1906 machine gun, fed from a 50-round drum, was comparable to the Maxim and Madsen machine guns, and was much lighter than the water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun, with a foldable bipedal mount and weighing only 13 kilograms.

However, the Ordnance Department of the Imperial War Office believed that this heavy machine gun did not have the same long-lasting firepower as the Maxim machine gun, and refused to use it as a replacement for the water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun. Heldon felt that this heavy weapon was useful enough, and decided to use it to replace the bulky Maxim machine gun in the Marine Corps.

The Navy ordered 150 Carlson Type 1906 air-cooled heavy machine guns from the Carlson factory, and Harrick and Jaylen shared the company's 20,000 crowns bonus, as well as a patent for the future. Israel provided Harrick and Jaylen with two prototypes of the Madsen machine gun, and asked them to reduce the weight of the Ka-1906 heavy machine gun to less than 10 kilograms.

In 1909, the two men designed and built their own prototype guns, and after comparison, Israel chose Harric's design, Jaylen's design was too similar to Madsen's, and Harrick ingeniously used an upper magazine feeding method.

This avoids so-called patent disputes.

When Lehydon saw the Ka1909 machine gun at first glance, he suddenly had a familiar feeling: Czech? ZB26 light machine gun? Oh, of course not, it's just that the two are too similar.

The light machine gun was quickly approved by the War Department, which ordered the first batch of 40 prototypes in 1911. The light machine gun was eventually named the Carlson 1911 light machine gun, and eventually in 1912 the War Office placed a large order for 4,000 Ka1911 light machine guns, and the Navy also ordered 600 units.

Another contribution of Islaya to the Imperial military industry was a variety of small-caliber artillery, although it could not compete with Skoda in the field of large-caliber artillery, Islaia had its own unique approach in small-caliber artillery.

The early artillery originally adopted the rigid aid and retreat method of the gun mount structure, which easily caused the gun to be displaced due to the recoil after firing, which increased the difficulty of adjusting the projectile point again. At the end of the 19th century, countries began to study the use of hydraulic brakes for artillery.

The Germans used a spring-type hydraulic retractor device, which was successfully developed in 18.95 and immediately became the pride of the Germans. They thought they had solved the problem of artillery retreat after firing, and the Germans were always left in a daze. In fact, the French then improved the design of the Germans, and in 18.97 they installed a hydraulic retreat device similar to a cylinder piston on the French army artillery, which was a perfect solution to the problem of the army artillery aid and retreat machine.

The piston pneumatic hydraulic retractor was more responsive than the German spring-loaded hydraulic retractor, and the French Army's 75 mm guns were equipped with this retractor that fired 15 shells per minute, almost twice as many as the Germans. The French patiently kept this secret until the outbreak of war in 1914.

It was only in 1911 that Islaia developed these retractors and fitted them to its own 75 mm and 57 mm infantry guns, but the War Office ordered only 300 of them, and they were going to slowly wait for the old guns to become obsolete before replacing them with the new ones. The Škoda Arsenal also introduced this patent, installing it on 105 mm and 150 mm army guns, which received fewer orders of 120 guns. Faced with this situation, Li Haidon was helpless, you must not tell the War Office bureaucrats that a total war would break out in the next year that would engulf the whole of Europe, and that would only make others think of themselves as madmen.

Lechelton pondered how to avoid a war that would engulf Europe, and came to the conclusion that it was impossible to avoid and that any attempt to do so would be futile.

With the improvement of the industrialization level of various countries, the major industrial countries are facing the crisis of overproduction, and the competition for overseas markets is becoming more and more fierce, which leads to the intensification of contradictions between countries.

The Sarajevo events of 1914 were only a trigger, without which the whole of Europe would still have had a full-scale war in 1915 and 1917.

The current dreadnought race is only a façade, with the emerging industrial nations trying to challenge the status of the old empires, and the exclusive colonial policies of Britain and France being the focus of the contradiction. If they still refuse to give up their colonial interests, this war will happen sooner or later.
