Then Zhao Shouhong unscrewed a movable metal cap on the head of the shell and said: "You see, this metal cap is made of hard alloy, and there is a large bulge in the middle, which is the key to armor penetration. When this kind of warhead can hit the steel armor at what angle, it will automatically adjust to hit vertically. Krupp’s surface carburized armor maintains the hardness of the surface and the toughness of the interior, and its cemented carbide is used to make the steel armor The surface hardened layer of the shell is torn apart, and the body of the armor-piercing projectile behind can enter the interior through this broken part, so as to finally penetrate the entire steel armor. Based on the shape of this shell, I named it the hood-capped armor-piercing projectile.”

"Great, this is really a genius design. With this kind of shell, it is estimated that the Harvey steel of the Saar people will be as fragile as thin paper." Alfred couldn't help applauding, this time he definitely lost Not wronged.

"Mr. Zhao Shouhong, I admit defeat. I am willing to build two identical machining factories for you. I only ask you to sell this design to us and allow my factory to produce." Alfred said excitedly.

"Of course there is no problem, but I hope you can help build three similar factories. Of course, I will pay the price for the latter two processing factories. I only hope that Mr. Krupp can send some engineers and senior technicians, in addition to helping me assemble equipment , and help me train some workers, I will be very grateful for that." Zhao Shouhong said: "As a thank you, this shell will be exclusively produced by the Krupp factory, and I will not authorize any other factory to use it."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much, I will send it over as soon as possible, and the personnel will be in place soon." Alfred could not say anything else, and Crown Prince William was also relieved. If the Allied Powers obtained such a shell design, The Teutonic battleships would also be severely damaged, and he secretly made up his mind to keep the design of this shell strictly secret.

"His Royal Highness, where should we go next?" Zhao Shouhong asked with a smile.

"Of course it's the Mauser Arsenal. I look forward to more surprises from you." Crown Prince William said with a smile.

"Do you think that a good idea is something that can be seen everywhere on the street? It is difficult for me to design it without inspiration, otherwise I will be able to surpass Edison in the White Eagle Kingdom." Zhao Shouhong smiled and tilted his shoulders.

"My dear boss, it turns out that you are the real artillery design genius. It's unbelievable how you came up with this kind of shell." Hoffman was full of compliments, and he couldn't stop talking.

"Your time with me is short, and you will know it after a long time. Do more things and talk less by my side, and you will get the benefits you deserve, otherwise it will be very difficult." Zhao Shouhong said coldly, Hoffman Shut up immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Paul Mauser, I didn't expect that you are also in the factory." Crown Prince William was very surprised to see the head of the Mauser company. Due to his advanced age, Paul Mauser seldom came to the factory.

Seeing Crown Prince William, Mauser also smiled and said: "Hello, Your Royal Highness, I just came here today to take a look. The daily production is still managed by my son."

Zhao Shouhong looked up and down at this hale and hearty old man with a big beard. Not only did he not have the philistine look of a factory owner on his face, but he had a strong bookish look. University professor, it is estimated that everyone who does not know him will agree.

"Who is this? A guest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Paul Mauser looked at Zhao Shouhong.

"Yes, this is the imperial envoy from the Later Jin Empire, who also cured my father's disease." Crown Prince William introduced with a smile.

"The post-Jin country? That is a country that does not understand machinery." Paul Mauser's expression was quite contemptuous. For him, a country that did not understand machinery and gun manufacturing did not deserve his respect.

What Zhao Shouhong was most angry about was that some people looked down on the Hualan people. Even though countries in the western continent still used to call it the Houjin Empire, he decided to give Paul Mauser a blow.He didn't fight back with words, but walked near the production line in the factory, and casually looked at the weapon that the workers were assembling. It was the standard rifle GEW98 of the Teutonic Army.

Looking at this familiar weapon, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Mr. Mauser, the rifles produced in your factory are really not very good. There are many things that need to be improved."

"What? Tell me what you are looking for, and what needs to be improved." Paul Mauser couldn't help being a little angry. This GEW98 rifle is his favorite work in his life.

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "You only have two protrusions at the rear of the gun to lock. Although this structure is barely usable, it is still not strong enough. If you can increase the number of protrusions to six, the failure rate of the firearm can be reduced by ten." times." He pointed out four positions for increasing the protrusions during his speech.

"The failure rate of my gun is already very low, and there is no need to improve it. The improvement you mentioned will cause a lot of processing time, which is not worth the loss." Paul Mauser snorted.

Zhao Shouhong didn't take it seriously and continued: "That's only relative to the usual use. Once entering a brutal long-term war, every point in the failure rate of the rifle can be exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. In addition In addition, the future war will definitely be in the trenches, where the two sides are facing each other. In the trenches, such a long rifle is inconvenient to turn around. I think the barrel should be shortened appropriately. This will not reduce the shooting accuracy much, but it will allow the The infantry turned freely in the trenches."

"There is no basis for this. Who can tell the future war situation? It is ridiculous to give up part of the shooting accuracy for an illusory benefit." Paul Mauser said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head. In fact, the two points he mentioned are the two improvements of the 98K rifle over the GEW98 rifle. Although Paul Mauser does not agree with it now, he believes that as long as they have experienced the brutal trench warfare on the Western Front, they will agree. of this improvement.

"I don't know what it means. I don't need to accompany a layman like you. I'll go first." The stubborn old man Paul Mauser then left Crown Prince William and Zhao Shouhong behind, and left with his servants.

Crown Prince William came over and said with a smile: "Don't take it to heart, this stubborn old man dares to offend anyone, he just has such a temper."

Chapter 2 The Three Federer Brothers

"Typical Teutonic style, it is because of such persistence and tenacity that the Teutonic nation can prosper." Zhao Shouhong shook his head with a smile and said, "However, I believe that future battles will prove my ideas and he will improve. of."

"I can take the first half of your words as a compliment to our country. But you don't have to be angry, since Mr. Paul Mauser doesn't welcome us, why don't you go somewhere else?" Crown Prince William suggested.

"No, I plan to meet a few people in the Mauser factory." Zhao Shouhong said.

Crown Prince William asked curiously, "Who?"

"The three Federer brothers, because I like their pistols very much." Zhao Shouhong smiled and took out the Mauser police pistol Yuan Wei gave him.

"You are actually using this kind of pistol? No one likes this pistol in the Western Continent. It is a rare failure of the Mauser factory." Crown Prince William shook his head.

"It's just that the location is unknown. It's too big for an officer. And this gun has a lot of recoil and low shooting accuracy, so not many people like to use it." Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "But I like it very much, so I want to see Meet its designer."

Under the leadership of the company executives from Mauser who came to lead the way, they quickly found the person Zhao Shouhong was looking for.Seeing three people covered in sludge and metal scraps piled under their feet, everyone couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, the weapon designer would be as embarrassed as an ordinary worker.

"Hello, are you the three Federer brothers?" Zhao Shouhong asked politely.

The man in front raised his head in surprise, looked at the people around him, and then said to Zhao Shouhong, "Did you call me?"

"Of course, I'm here on a special trip to see you this time." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"This is an imperial envoy from the Later Jin Empire, and a good friend of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A follower of Crown Prince William introduced them.Because they were afraid that the three of them would look down on people of the yellow race and be rude, they added the phrase "Crown Prince's good friend", which was also what Crown Prince William asked them to say, in order to prevent others from making Zhao Shouhong unhappy again.

Zhao Shouhong couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken about Congren's introduction.Once upon a time, Hualan was the true central country, a kingdom of heaven that came from all directions, but it has been going backwards for hundreds of years since Houjin entered the pass.

The later Jin nobles only thought about their own enjoyment and maintaining their rule, and had no interest in developing productive forces. The so-called prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong should actually be called the prosperous age of sweet potatoes.The starvation has nothing to do with the emperor's wisdom, it's just that the high-yield sweet potato and potato crops have been popularized and planted.

Under the rule of the post-Jin royal family, the whole society has always been in a state of regression.During the Opium War, the Hualan army's weapons and equipment were not even as good as those of the former army at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is really the greatest tragedy of the Hualan nation.Because of such poverty and weakness, when resisting the invasion of foreign enemies later, they had to put forward the slogan of "one inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand soldiers". The Great Wall of flesh and blood was forged with the blood of countless people.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Later Jin Empire had changed from the prosperous former Nanhua Empire, which accounted for [-]% of the world's GDP, to a powerful country that was bullied by others.Even so, the Empress Dowager could still say the words 'It is better to give gifts to friends than to slaves'. It can be seen that they never regarded themselves as members of the land of Hualan. How could such a court not make Zhao Shouhong hate it.

Hearing Congren's explanation, the eldest of the three brothers, Fidel, got up and said, "Your Excellency is too polite, why did you come to see us?"

Zhao Shouhong smiled and pulled out the Mauser police pistol from his waist and said, "Because you are the inventors of this gun, and I like it very much."

The eyes of the three looked at the gun, which was obviously complicated. The second child, Frederick, shook his head and said, "The patent for this gun no longer belongs to us. It belongs to Mr. Mauser."

"That's right, and because no country is willing to equip this kind of gun, the sales volume is very poor, so we were demoted." The third brother Joseph sighed.

Zhao Shouhong frowned: "This is an insult to talents. What I hate the most are people who abuse talents casually." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shouhong looked at Crown Prince William and said, "His Royal Highness, I want to hire them in the Teutonic Kingdom. What should the three join my factory and buy the patent right for the Mauser pistol?"

Crown Prince William said: "The purchase of patents needs to be discussed with Mr. Mauser. As for hiring them, as long as they agree. According to the laws of the Teutonic country, these people are free people, and they have the right to fire the boss."

"This is great." Zhao Shouhong turned to the three brothers with a smile and said, "I have an arsenal in the Houjin Empire. Although it is not large in scale, it is continuously expanding. I invite the three of you to join my factory. How about being the chief designer of firearms?"

"We? We just designed an unsuccessful pistol. To be precise, we don't know what kind of pistol is suitable for the army." The boss Fidel shook his head.

"Every weapon has its suitable range. If people are only blindly demanding the designer without digging out the potential in the weapon, then he is not a qualified military strategist, or even a qualified soldier. I think there are no useless things, only people who can't use them. This sentence is very applicable to weapons and people. Mr. Mauser can't find your talents, but I can. I will give you the greatest space to play, believe You will definitely become master weapon designers in the future." Zhao Shouhong's words pointed directly at the inner world of the three of them, and their blood boiled when they heard it, the three of them looked at each other, and the second and third nodded to the elder brother.

Fidel turned his head and said, "The three of us decided to take a gamble and follow you to the arsenal in Houjin. Maybe this is our chance."

"You are very welcome. From now on, you will be the chief designer of the firearms of the Zhongchuan Machine Bureau. This is the artillery designer. You should get closer and cooperate with each other in the future." Zhao Shouhong introduced Hoffman to Federer without losing the opportunity Three brothers, they chatted quickly.

"I believe in your insight, maybe they will really become masters." Crown Prince William said with a smile, but Zhao Shouhong knew that most of them were compliments, not much truth.The following things were much more convenient. Paul Mauser's son was not as old-fashioned as he was. After hearing that Zhao Shouhong wanted to buy the patent of the Mauser pistol, he sold it to him very generously at a low price. Anyway, this weapon If you can't sell it, it's better to be a human being.

Chapter 2 The Curies

Selling patents is very generous, but when Zhao Shouhong proposed to build a factory in China, he politely declined.In fact, he still looked down on the people of the Later Jin Kingdom, and most of the sales of the patents had the idea of ​​taking advantage of them. In the eyes of these people, the people of the Later Jin Kingdom were only worthy of using inferior weapons.Zhao Shouhong was not very angry about Mauser's thoughts. It is an indisputable fact that the motherland is poor and weak. All he can do is to use every opportunity to make it stronger as soon as possible.

Although the cooperation with Mauser was not negotiated, Zhao Shouhong had already gained a lot this time. He then visited the Carl Zeiss company and reached a cooperation intention with the company.Zhao Shouhong will provide the site and funds to establish a camera production factory in Hualan in cooperation with Carl Zeiss to help Hualan develop the optical industry.With the vigorous promotion of Crown Prince William, Carl Zeiss Company also hopes to develop the Eastern Continent market. The two parties hit it off, and the address of this new company has also been selected in Gwanghae, which is adjacent to the new industrial zone of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

The relationship between Zhao Shouhong and Crown Prince William became more and more harmonious as they got along. In order to reciprocate, he took the initiative to cooperate with the Teutonic Kingdom and was willing to use the Feng Ru 1 aircraft to jointly set up a factory with the Teutonic Kingdom.The factory site was chosen in Bavaria, and the aircraft produced would be equipped with the Teutonic Army for long-range reconnaissance and artillery calibration.At the same time, Zhao Shouhong also agreed to let the Teutonic Kingdom send engineers to study in Hualan's aircraft factory, so that they can independently develop aircraft in the future.

This morning Crown Prince William came to find Zhao Shouhong suddenly. When he entered the door, his expression was a little strange, as if he was worried about something.Crown Prince William and Zhao Shouhong have a very close relationship. Of course, he should care about his good friend: "Is there anything on your mind? If I can help, just tell me."
