Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Liu Chuan successfully acquired a stake in Krupp, although it was only thirty percent. However, coupled with his status as emperor, it was enough to have a very large impact on the Krupp company.

In the event of a future war, Krupp will inevitably be able to get a large number of orders. This will also mean that a lot of profit will be made. Liu Chuan relied on these shares, and naturally he was able to earn a lot of money.

Of course, making money is only incidental. Liu Chuan’s real purpose is to influence Krupp and let Krupp develop according to its own wishes.

After all, Krupp was the munitions giant of the Germanic Empire, and whether it was technical reserves or research and development strength, it was the strongest in the entire Germanic Empire. There are too many new weapons that need to rely on Krupp’s R&D strength to develop them. In this way, the army of the Germanic Empire can be made more powerful.

Liu Chuan can also use his huge BUG to let the German Empire take fewer detours in future weapons and equipment, and even directly overtake in curves.

“Miss Krupp, I will provide as much support as possible to Krupp in the future. However, Krupp is an arms giant after all, and there are too many companies under its jurisdiction. You have to deal with so many companies, it’s too difficult. I remember that my father introduced you to a diplomat named Gustav, how did you talk? If you and Gustav can get married, he can take off a lot of the pressure for you! Liu Chuan said.

With Krupp’s position in the Germanic Empire, naturally no one wanted to see the arms giant collapse. After alfred Krupp’s death, Wilhelm II feared that Beta Krupp would not be able to control the Krupp company, so he specially selected a marriage partner for her. And this man was a diplomat named Gustav. In another time and space, he entered the Krupp family and further created the glory of the Krupp family.

“Your Majesty, I have a very good conversation with Gustav. However, we are all busy and do not have many opportunities to meet. Perhaps, in the near future, it will be time to invite His Majesty to our wedding! Beta Gustav said.

“Very good, then I look forward to this day.” Liu Chuan was very happy.

He believed that by the time Gustav joined the Krupp family and took control of the Krupp company, the arms giant would develop more rapidly and more powerfully. This would also be of great benefit to the Germanic Empire.

“By the way, Miss Krupp, here are the design drawings for several guns, all of which are not highly technical. I hope Krupp will be able to develop it within a month. When the time comes, I will organize the generals of the Army to observe. If they can be convinced, Krupp will get a large order. After Liu Chuan finished speaking, he took out a few design drawings from the drawer and handed them to Beta Krupp.

Beta Krupp took a look at the guns, which were small, a long pipe with a base and a tripod attached. One of the cannons, in particular, was very small, just like a small barrel.

What Liu Chuan handed to Beta Krupp was the grenadier and mortar he designed. Among them, the mortar is further divided into 60 mm light mortars. 80 mm medium mortar and 120 mm heavy mortar.

In Liu Chuan’s plan, grenadiers and these mortars would be the most important supporting firepower for future infantry squads, infantry platoons, infantry companies and infantry battalions of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Now, the battalion company-sized units of the Germanic Army were equipped with rapid-fire guns of various calibers. Although the firepower is very strong, the power is not bad. However, on the one hand, it is too heavy. On the other hand, these guns can only shoot directly, not bend. It is very difficult to attack targets hiding in the trenches.

Mortars, however, were different, were so lightweight that they could accompany the attacking troops. The curved trajectory is able to directly hit the enemy hiding in the trench, thus causing more damage to the enemy.

This is especially true of the grenade launcher, although the grenade fired is not powerful, but it cannot withstand the light weight! An ordinary soldier, while carrying a rifle, can easily carry a grenadier and several grenades.

If the other soldiers carried a few more grenades each. Well, enough to cope with a high-intensity battle.

In battle, although the grenadier has a short range, it is not very powerful. However, the rate of fire is fast, which can directly provide extremely powerful fire support to the infantry. Once applied on the battlefield, it will further strengthen the firepower of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Coupled with mortars of various calibers, the infantry support firepower of the Germanic Imperial Army can definitely become the first in the world. In the future war, it will be able to make the enemies of the Empire tremble.
