The joint technical research of the navy is the strongest among the three countries at present, and Carlo brought it out as soon as he started, because he knew that Germany and Austria had a request from Italy in this regard.

Of course, with the help of the Navy's technological research and development, it is natural to transfer to the Army.

And at this time, Carlo released a large satellite. "In fact, in the Army, we are the ones who need joint research the most. Not long ago, China received news that France has developed a cross-era artillery, a new 75-mm rapid-fire gun that can fire 15 shells per minute. ”

"It can't be! How can there be such a fast artillery in the world! ”

Before Carlo's words fell, the Kaiser stood up and denied it.

"It's completely incredible."

Archduke Ferdinand also expressed his disapproval of Carlo's remarks.

Don't they understand artillery?

Wrong, it is precisely because they understand it that they will deny it. You must know that at present, the rate of fire of artillery of similar caliber in various countries is basically 2-3 rounds per minute. No matter how hard you train, it's this rate of fire. What is it that makes all the artillerymen only shoot this rate of fire?

That's right, that's recoil. The recoil of the gun when fired pushed the gun back away from the gun position, which not only required the soldier to push it back into position, limiting the location that the gun could choose when placing the gun, but also causing the aim to be lost and the ballistic elements had to be recalculated. This back and forth, time slipped away. And these two obviously knew this, so after Carlo opened his mouth, they categorically denied it.

"I also hope that what I say is false, but there are some things that we simply deny to solve the problem."

Well, in fact, as soon as these two spoke, they knew that they had said the wrong thing. However, this is also a reasonable thing, you must know that Germany has great trust in its own artillery and believes that it is the best artillery in the world. I haven't seen that the Krupp cannon has been exported to the whole world in recent years, and you can see it everywhere, which is proof of this.

Of course, now Carlo's words have broken the myth of Krupp, and an epoch-making artillery has been born, and they don't know it yet.

"Can you ask, do you know what this cannon is capable of?"

That's right, at this time, the two finally calmed down and immediately asked them about what kind of performance this is.

Carlo then briefly explained the data of Miss 75, which made the two, especially the Kaiser, frown. With a rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute, it can also have a range of 8500 meters, and the maneuverability is not bad. God, are you going to abandon Germany?

William, who knew the seriousness of the matter, couldn't sit still, and he needed to discuss it with his military ministers immediately.

"I'm sorry I missed a moment, I hope we can continue to talk later."

"I'm sorry, I'm missing a little bit too."

Looking at the two who left in a hurry, Carlo immediately left. Today's thunder has some effect, and I believe it is enough to make Germany and Austria feel pressure.

That's right, Miss 75's information mainly comes from Carlo's mind, and after France developed this epoch-making masterpiece, it was tightly hidden, even at the expense of modifying the data.

Unfortunately, it didn't work for Carlo at all.

For the sake of Italy's future artillery, it was necessary to let Germany and Austria know that the French had hidden weapons of mass destruction. As for why Austria-Hungary was also nervous, because Russia was an ally of France, wouldn't this epoch-making masterpiece appear in the hands of the Russians?

In fact, it would have been good to tell them earlier, at least it would have forced Germany to take the heavy artillery route two years earlier. That's right, Germany was equipped with so many heavy guns in World War I, and it was forced by this 75 lady.

You must know that at this time, the German division was mainly equipped with 77-mm field guns, and did not want to use heavy artillery to the death. It was too heavy to maneuver with the army. (Historically, it was also this Miss 75 that forced Germany to take the heavy artillery route, because Germany couldn't play France with the rate of fire.) As for the French military who got the artifact, in the end, they were fascinated by this 75 lady. ）

As for Carlo's intention, it is very simple, that is, to make the German and Austrian armies feel the pressure, and then they can promote the joint research and development of the three countries in army weapons, Italy has limited funds, otherwise how can it obtain the latest army weapons technology.

In order to keep Italy in the first column in terms of military technology, Carlo was forced to have no choice but to use some crooked tricks. It's all about making trouble without money, and who doesn't want to develop their own exclusive technology if they have money.

Of course, Carlo is only limited to knowing, and if you want him to tell Miss 75's detailed data or key technologies, it's a bit embarrassing.

Although the news brought by Carlo upset the two monarchs and left halfway through, it was not long before they returned.

"Thank you Carlo for bringing this news, it's so important to us."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Forget the thanks of the two monarchs, is it good to cash out?

Of course, Carlo could only think about this in his heart.

"The two, I think that in the current situation, the military technology of our three countries really needs joint research."

In the face of Carlo's talk about joint research and development again, William's attitude was completely different this time. "I very much agree with Carlo's words, military technology is changing with each passing day, and we can't delay for a moment, otherwise we will be left behind at any time."

It is obvious that the Kaiser's words were motivated by feelings, who made the morning still the first in the world of German artillery technology, which has not even eaten lunch, has fallen behind, this change is too fast, people are not caught off guard.

"We also have no problem with Austria, joint research and development of military technology is very beneficial to all three of our countries, and I very much agree."

Well, after the basic opinion has been reached on the side of the monarch, it is time for the ministers to come into play. However, it is mainly the military to talk again, and the military personnel of Germany, Italy and Austria will discuss the main content of the research and development of the technology of the navy and the army.

This is different from the gentle negotiations of the three monarchs, the military chiefs of these three countries are not fuel-efficient lamps, for example, it took more than a week to delineate the caliber of the ship's guns. The main reason is that the navies of various countries have different perceptions of caliber, and the order of research and development of naval guns is also different.

And after a week of quarrels, slapping the table and glaring at each other, the caliber of naval guns was unified. In terms of naval artillery, the three countries unanimously agreed to divide naval artillery into 37, 57, 75, 105, 150, 210, 254, 305, 350, 380, and 410 calibers.

The warships and guns built by the previous countries do not matter, and the warships built by the three countries in the future need to move closer to this aspect, because the research of the artillery of the three countries in the future will mainly be based on these calibers. Of course, at present, for the navies of the three countries, the most important naval artillery research and development is still 305 mm.

Because the three countries decided that in the next class of warships, 305 mm rapid-fire naval guns should be used.
