As Yang Tai said, Blackwater had just sent a team to Austria. He was responsible for exchanging experience with the Austrian army in the use of breech guns. To say that Blackwater and Austria are actually enemies, it was the people of Blackwater, with the Italians with breech guns, who beat the Austrians to the ground, so that Austria lost control of Italy. But, as British Prime Minister Palmerston said, in this world "there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests". For the sake of profit, the original allies can immediately turn against each other, and the original enemies can immediately become comrades standing in the same trenches. This is especially true for the McDonald Group, as long as you're willing to come up with those cute little money, a past grudge is not a problem.

And for Austria, he is now under great pressure. Those damned Prussian barbarians, with the support of the British, are willing to be the sticks of Britain, a European shit-stirring stick, and mess around everywhere. The orthodox Habsburgs of the Holy Roman Empire are increasingly being taken into account. Of course, the Holy Roman Empire, which is neither sacred, nor Roman, nor is it the orthodoxy of the Empire, is not a great deal in the first place, but it is also orthodox, where can those Prussian barbarians compare?

But the Prussian barbarians in the north have developed rapidly over the years, learning from the British in all their respects, and after the Seven Years' War almost lost their country, they have re-established themselves following the example of the British. They learned from the British, built a large number of factories, built a large number of railways, built a large number of schools, and the national strength flourished. So these damned barbarians have built up more and more powerful armies, and they have to be more and more aggressive.

In the last war with the Italians, the Austrians suffered from breech-loading rifles, and the volley of the MacDonald 1857 rifle became a nightmare for many Austrians who participated in this war. Today, by all accounts, the Prussians were fully armed with rear-loading rifles, and they were the most advanced models that used smokeless projectiles. At this time, the army of the Austrians, and more than half of them, were using old-fashioned front-loading guns.

The French pirated MacDonald 1857, and the Austrians could buy this weapon from them. However, Na Xiaosan, who did not have Napoleon's territory and wanted to engage in Napoleon's welfare in the countryside, was short of money, so he opened his mouth to the Habsburgs. Their asking price is actually quite more expensive than the original MacDonald 1857. Of course, the French said that their craftsmanship was far superior to that of the Yankees, so that their rifles were far superior to those made by the American savages. However, according to the Austrians' own comparative tests, in fact, there is really no difference between the two guns in terms of performance.

However, the junior was short of money, and the Habsburgs were also short of money. Having lost the war and losing Italy, the Habsburgs' finances were no less visible. Fortunately, God forbid, the American Civil War ended, and as soon as the American Civil War ended, the U.S. government quickly cut off more than half of the 6th Army in order to save the government money. The hundreds of thousands of original MacDonald 1857 or Springfield imitation MacDonald 1857 in the hands of hundreds of thousands of troops were immediately redundant. So the US government began to sell these MacDonald 1857 to the entire world market at a very low price. This immediately solved the Habsburg urgency, and even more lovely, the US government also said that they could also allow the Austrians to pay in installments as long as the purchase quantity was large. So Austria bought 400,000 old rifles from the United States in one go with lightning speed, which made a small Sankong who was thinking about killing the Austrians happy.

The Austrians had thought that the difference between their weapons and that of the Prussians was no longer there, but half a year earlier they had learned that the Prussian barbarians had received from the damned Americans a newer version of the smokeless projectile, equipped with a magazine, capable of loading five bullets at a time, and with a longer range and higher accuracy of the MacDonald 1864 rifle.

The original historical Austrians didn't particularly care about weapons or anything, and in their opinion, it was definitely the command that decided the victory, not the weapons. However, after the Italian had been taught a lesson with the new rifles, the Austrians now went to the other extreme, and that was to regard the trap of weapons as extremely important.

As a result, the Austrians forgot their hatred for the good things that the MacDonald Consortium had done to them in Italy, and sent someone to purchase MacDonald 1864 rifles from the MacDonald Consortium, and offered to hire Blackwater's personnel to exchange their experience in fighting with breech guns.

Interestingly, Fritz, the representative of the Austrians, and his assistants stayed at the Royal Rose Hotel in Cleveland, and at the time of the meal, at a table not far from them, several people were talking in German. After eavesdropping on them, they realized that these German-speaking guys were actually business representatives sent by the Prussian barbarians. Then Fritz, who kept an eye on it, found that the damned Prussian barbarians actually lived next door to him.

It's a shame that you're going to bump into these damn guys! Fritz wanted to change the hotel at that time, but think about it, if he changed the hotel, wouldn't it mean that he was afraid of those Prussian barbarians? If you want to go, you should let those Prussian barbarians go! So Fritz decided that he must overwhelm the other party in momentum and let the other party obediently get out. Well, after that, Fritz always looked for an opportunity to roll his eyes at those guys and say strange things, and those Prussians didn't understand what was going on at first, but then after figuring out the situation, they also fought with Fritz according to the gourd. Of course, barbarians are barbarians, they have no ability to innovate at all, and all the tricks they do are all used by Fritz. However, compared with orthodox aristocrats like Fritz, barbarians still have one advantage, that is, barbarians are particularly thick-skinned, and in any case, they are unwilling to admit defeat and move away. And their unexpected encounter also made both Fritz and the damned barbarians deeply feel the urgency of completing their mission, so in the negotiations with the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company, more and more sincere and flexible......

In fact, in later generations, similar stories were born in the country of rabbits. At that time, it was the period of the Iran-Iraq war, and the two sides were fighting vigorously, fighting, and now there are not enough shells. Well, you have to understand that no matter which side it is, their military industry is scum, and they can't play with such a lofty thing as making shells, so they began to ask everywhere, which one is stronger than 152 shells. Of course, in the end, after repeated comparative studies, they came to the same conclusion, that is: which one is stronger than 152 shells, looking for rabbits in the east of Asia. So their representatives all found the peace-loving little white rabbit here, and planned to purchase a batch of 152 shells to go back, and then the rabbit arranged for them to live in the same guest house, so that they could get along day and night, and then, the rabbit who had lost the ground saw a lot of really sweet little money.

In the end, Fritz signed a large contract with MacDonald Infantry Weapons for the purchase of 20,000 MacDonald Model 1864 rifles, as well as fifteen million rounds of ammunition and 20,000 defensive grenades. As part of the contract, McDonald promised to send professional staff to complete their dressing training. So a group of Blackwater's advisors followed the previous pair of advisors sent to Prussia and set foot on the European Big 6.

The advisor to the advisory group sent to Austria was former U.S. Army Lieutenant McPeth, a combat hero who emerged from the Civil War in the Cleveland Volunteer Corps, after the war, he quit the army and returned to Blackwater, where he was promoted to mid-level rank. He became an advisor to this advisory group.

In August 1865, MacPace came to Austria with the weapons ordered by the Austrians.

Then I threw myself into intense preparations.

"Scrooge, I have a question I want to discuss with you." Rockefeller said.

Just a few days ago, Rockefeller decided to cooperate with Scrooge in the second way, and then followed Scrooge to the Dashi yàn room, where he saw with his own eyes various power engines under development. His enthusiasm for work has also increased greatly. Today, he and Scrooge went to a McDonald Infantry Weapons Research Institute to check on the progress of some research projects. The two of them watched the progress of various research projects while discussing the situation in Europe.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Scrooge said.

"We discussed before that it would be better for us for Prussia to win, right?" Rockefeller asked.

"That's right. Because Prussia's model of exhibition was too much like that of the British, and the British model was based on the premise of continuous expansion, Prussia's victory meant that there was war after war to be fought. Isn't it? ”

"Of course that's right. It's just that we sold so many weapons to the Austrians, shouldn't it affect the victory of Prussia? And if Prussia had won the so-called crushing victory, they would have lost too much and would have expanded not so quickly. Rockefeller said worriedly.

"No problem, although we sold a lot of things to Austria, there was one thing that we only gave to Prussia, not Austria. That's shortwave radio. If they had this, they would not be able to defeat the Austrians, then it would only be said that those Prussians were too useless......"

At this time, a researcher came up to Scrooge and said, "Mr. MacDonald, the real yàn of the body armor is ready." Would you like to check it out? ”

"Good." Scrooge said, "John, let's go and see, this thing has a stake in our safety." ”

Of course, in this year, there will definitely be no Kevlar fiber. So the so-called body armor is actually a set of heavy metal armor. The bulletproof vest placed in front of Scrooge looked a lot like a cavalry cuirass

, but there is also a layer of cloth wrapped around the metal shell, and there are rows of long pockets on the outside of this cloth.

"Can this thing block bullets?" Rockefeller asked.

"Stops pistol bullets."

"What if the assassin is using a rifle?"

"Fill those pockets with steel plates to block it." The researcher replied.

"How much does this thing weigh when it's filled with steel plates?" Rockefeller then asked.

"Nearly fifty kilograms." The researcher replied.

"Then I can't wear this," Rockefeller looked at Scrooge, shook his head, and said, "Scrooge, I don't think you can wear it either." ”

"It's not for us." "This is for the bodyguards who are dedicated to us as bullets." Soon we are about to begin the total strangulation of the steel and oil companies, and by that time there will not be too many people who want to come to us with the MacDonald 1857 precision firing version. We're going to have to find some big guys, preferably eight feet tall and eight feet in the waistline, who can wear these things, follow us, and be ready to use them as bullets. Well, what do you think of this idea? ”
