The accurate news came from Wiltok's side that the Emperor would visit Kuster's arsenal at 2 p.m. on October 3.

There are still 6 days left and they only have 5 days to produce except for today, Sunday. Kuster was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to let the workers work overtime.

He still has 70,000 kroner at his disposal. In order to ease the burden on Fox, he bought 40,000 crowns of solid fuel from some resource tycoons.

The solid fuels will arrive in Vienna tomorrow, when they can be sent to the explosives plant for processing.

At the same time, he paid 20,000 kroner to repair the broken facility. Right now, I only have 10,000 kroner on hand, and I can't spend it yet. Because he alone raised the wages of the workers, the empire did not bear these additional costs. This money must be kept for the workers.

As for his son, who is far away in the Americas, he is under siege by several companies. Kuster wouldn't have reached out to him for money at this critical moment.

Kuster really wanted to get back to the battlefield, so it would be easier. However, although the Austro-Hungarian army collapsed, there were still very high-ranking generals who survived. They are more prestigious than Kuster, so he has basically lost touch with the front line for a few months.

Dejected, he walked back to his house and continued to draw drawings. to relieve dull tension.

But this time I did it until the night.

Looking up at the dark sky again, Kuster's mood was full of mixed feelings. But he had to lie down and sleep.

On September 28, the workers' vacation was over and they were going back to work.

Although some facilities have not been repaired, they do not hinder the work.

Kuster and Fox nervously watched the workers work. Important armament arsenals have almost been developed, and other weapons and equipment are too late to be developed now. So after a few words of encouragement, the two went to the tractor factory.

As soon as I entered, I saw that the previous tank chassis had been modified and had a prototype of a rocket car. The armor and engines are all ready, and now there is only one rocket launcher left.

They then rushed to the newly established explosives factory.

Although the explosives factory had just been established, the production line was quickly finalized. Now they have produced more than a few hundred grenades, and the development is in a good state.

However, Kuster is more worried about rocket explosives, which are still in the theoretical stage and have not yet been put into practical production.

Fortunately, the foreman of the explosives factory said that as soon as the resources arrived in the evening, they would start production. The two of them were relieved to go to the independent artillery factory.

The mortar mount has been completed, and now the manufacture of its shells begins. As for the rocket launch, the foreman here promised to make it tomorrow.

The two had no plans to visit the steel mill because they were not short of steel right now.

Kuster says goodbye to Fox and works alone in the house. But the urgency of time made him very anxious. His hands were constantly tapping on the corners of the table, which made him extremely slow to work efficiently. So much so that in the evening, he did not come up with new drawings.

On 29 September, the explosives factory began manufacturing rockets. The rocket mount was also completed and mounted on the tank body.

On September 30, a rocket was successfully manufactured. However, after testing, it was found to be a dud bomb and could not be used.

On October 1, Kuster looked at the papers in his hands, his hands and feet trembling. I don't know if it's because of the cold weather.

He rushed to the explosives factory and carefully questioned the workers with a mild face.

After making sure that they had only made 2 rockets that could be fired, Kuster's face was still pleasant, and he kept saying that they wanted to build as many as they could.

On October 2, only six rockets were made, and Kuster could no longer sit still. He prepared the emperor to be welcomed, while at the same time making the workers of the dynamite factory work a day overtime.

The workers certainly disagreed, and Kuster had to improvising some of their wages.

In order to encourage the workers to make the process, the elderly Kuster also stepped forward and took part in the work.

But even then, only 9 pieces were made at night. And the rocket launcher designed by Kuster has to fire 10 rockets at a time, which is simply not enough.

As dawn approached, Kuster and the workers were still immersed in their work. But even if Kuster tried hard, the workers did not sleep all night, resulting in extremely low work efficiency. They made a total of 4 pieces throughout the night. In total, there are 21 of them, which can only support two rounds of bombing.

It's 6 a.m., and Kuster has to get the dynamite factory workers off work. Workers from other factories were also brought in to fill the vacancies.

But these workers have never touched a rocket, so how do they know how to make it. By the time Custer had taught them, it was already 10 a.m. With 4 hours to go, it's nice to be able to produce one.

As Kuster walked out of the factory, he couldn't open his eyes because of the dazzling light. Pulling away Fox, who had been working with him all night, he complained:

"He really deserves to be the emperor. He came, and the drowsy sky cleared. ”

Fox on the side didn't react, just like a walking dead.

They had been working in the dim factory last night, and suddenly appeared in the sun, and the two of them were more or less uncomfortable. Pedestrians on the road looked at their strange way of walking, and they also stayed away from them.

I went back to my room and felt like I was liberated. Kuszin set the alarm clock at 1 p.m., then lay down in bed and fell asleep.

3 hours is not long. Hearing the alarm in his ear, Kuster suddenly jumped up. Hurriedly wash his dark face and refresh himself. So he took his hat and went to the arsenal.

The depot's workers, who had been idle due to damage to the facility, were transferred to the explosives factory, which made the depot look deserted.

Kuster went straight to the telephone station and called Wiltok:

"This is Kuster. Wiltok, where will the Emperor's carriage stop? ”

"The emperor's itinerary is confidential, and I don't know."

"And how did you know they'd be there at 2 p.m.?"

"Uh, I guess. I'm just letting you have a bottom, maybe the emperor and his old man have arrived now. ”

"What! Your mother'......"

Before he could finish speaking, a soldier from the arsenal rushed over and said:

"General! The Emperor has arrived! They're just outside. ”

Kuster angrily shook the phone, straightened his clothes, and hurriedly ran outside the arsenal. I saw a group of guards and a few people dressed in gorgeous clothes.

But the most conspicuous is Emperor Franz in the middle. Franz was very kind, and his long gray beard and bald head added to his majesty. But Kuster was a little frightened by his gentle and piercing eyes.

Suddenly, the emperor coughed a few times. The dignitaries around him were also a little flustered.

Kuster looked at them, a little disdainful. But he quickly adjusted his condition and said to them:

"Thank you for the presence of the Emperor and all the nobles for your visit. I will not let you down. Please wait a minute, I'll take something out.

But I don't recommend you to wait for me here, go 500 meters north, and it's wild. So that I can show the results of these days as much as possible. ”

Several nobles beside the emperor were a little dissatisfied, and one of them even stuck out his fingers. But the emperor stopped them and put them in the carriage.

Seeing them leave, Kuster turned around and ran towards the warehouse.
