Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Liu Chuan successfully acquired a stake in Krupp, albeit only 30 percent of the shares. 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 war in the future, Krupp will certainly be able to get a large number of orders. This will also mean that a lot of profit will be made. Liu Chuan can naturally make a lot of money by relying on these shares.

Of course, making money is nothing more than incidental. Liu Chuan’s real purpose is to influence Krupp and let Krupp develop according to its own wishes.

After all, Krupp is the arms giant of the Germanic Empire, whether it is technical reserves or research and development strength, it is the strongest in the entire Germanic Empire. There are too many new weapons that need to rely on the research and development strength of Krupp to develop. In this way, the army of the Germanic Empire can be made stronger.

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

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

With the position of the Krupp company in the Germanic Empire, naturally no one wants to see this arms giant collapse. After Alfred Krupp’s death, Wilhelm II feared that Beta Krupp would not be able to control Krupp enough, so he chose a marriage partner for her. And this person is a diplomat named Gustav. In another time and space, he joined the Krupp family and further created the glory of the Krupp family.

“Your Majesty, I have a good conversation with Gustav. It’s just that we are all busy and don’t have many opportunities to meet. Perhaps, it won’t be long before we can invite Your Majesty to our wedding!” Beta Gustav said.

“Good, then I’m looking forward to this day.” Liu Chuan was very happy.

He believed that by the time Gustav joined the Krupp family and took control of Krupp, the arms giant would grow faster and stronger. This would also be of great benefit to the Germanic Empire.

“By the way, Miss Krupp, here are the design drawings of several guns, all of which are not highly technical. I hope that Krupp will develop it within a month. At that time, I will organize the generals of the army to come and observe. If they could be convinced, Krupp would 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 and saw that the guns were small, with a long tube attached to a base and a tripod. One of the guns, in particular, is very small, like a small tube.

What Liu Chuan handed over to Beta Krupp was the grenade canister and mortar he designed. Among them, mortars are divided into 60-mm light mortars. 80-mm medium mortar and 120-mm heavy mortar.

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

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

But mortars are different, they are very light and can act with attacking forces. The trajectory of the warp can directly hit the enemy hiding in the trench, thus causing more damage to the enemy.

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

If the other soldiers carry a few more grenades. Well, it is enough for a high-intensity battle.

In battle, although the grenade canister does not have a long range, it is not very powerful. However, the rate of fire is fast, which can directly provide extremely powerful fire support for 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 can make the enemies of the empire tremble.
