Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Krupp allowed Xiao Letian to swindle him of the truth, and he was immediately at a loss of what to do. It was obvious that she couldn't continue making up lies! However, he didn't dare to take Xiao Letian to see the new cannon.

After all, the new cannon was Prussia's secret weapon, and the military had strict orders not to be made public until the war broke out.

However, Xiao Letian was after all a friend of Prussia, so of course people at Krupp's level knew a lot of inside information. He knew that the Franco-Prussian War was inevitable, and he also knew that Xiao Letian was definitely an ally of Prussia.

If the other party did not reveal the secret, then he could still pretend that he did not know. But now that the Fiihrer had faked the truth and was blocking the door to see the secret weapon, it was a little hard to refuse.

In the end, it was the secretary sent by Prime Minister Bismark who helped the Mr. Krupp. The secretary was sent by the Prime Minister to help Xiao Letian to coordinate the relations between the Prussian officials and the people.

He walked up to the Mr. Krupp and whispered a few words into her ear, "It's better to let our guests have a look! "After all, they already know the secret, and I don't think the Prime Minister would mind …"

"Good!" Since you are willing to shoulder this responsibility, then I have nothing else to say … Come with me, gentlemen. Let's go to the artillery test site outside the city, where the new cannons are hidden! "

The group of tribesmen left the Steel plant and quickly rode their carriages out of the city.

The Ruhr's industrial zone's core city, Essen, was one of the core cities in Prussia, one of the heavily protected cities. It was a place where fighting sounds were incessant outside the city, and countless new recruits were being trained here. Deep within the camp, on a vast and enclosed wasteland, was the Krupp's testing ground.

A few tents set up with tarpaulin attracted everyone's attention as far as the eye could see.

When they got closer, they saw that under the canvas tent, there were six shining black steel gun s, quietly waiting for their turn.

"Gentlemen! There are eight pounds of cannon, three pieces of cannon, twelve pounds of cannon, three pieces of cannon. they were all produced using our Krupp s' most advanced canning technology, and we even added a top-secret anti-leakage technology … "

People focused their eyes and sure enough, the six cannons had complicated and unique steel bolts at the rear.

Wang Huaiyuan suddenly asked, "Didn't you say there is another Large-scale Gun for Coastal Defense? that were specially designed to defend ports against Sea War naval gun? "

Krupp frowned and said, "Sir! The military does require three new cannons, but now that it's the eve of the war, our main focus is still on the army, so we only produced two models, the field gun and the coastal defense cannons that are sealed off from the sea. Right now, our focus is only on the blueprints! "

"Don't try to draw the blueprint!" "If you want to see those blueprints, I'm afraid you have to get a written order from the Prime Minister. Otherwise, I will never show you these classified information!"

Krupp wondered. Want to see the drawings? What a joke! It is already a huge favor for you to see the real thing. If I let you see the blueprints and record the top-secret data, then I would have suffered a huge loss!

Seeing the physical object, all of you are just here to watch a show, but you are unable to copy it. If you are allowed to copy the blueprints and data, then the secret of my earning money will be completely exposed!

Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop Director Wang from asking further, he nodded towards Mr. Krupp and said, "I understand your difficulties, the blueprints are classified as top secret information, we understand this rule, and will not ask for it by force!"

"Now can you show us the advanced power of the cannon?"

"Fuck, the gunners are in position. Prepare to fire three rounds of live ammunition for our distinguished guests who are far away to see the might of this new weapon!"

The Chinese delegation immediately left the canvas tent and headed for the bulletproof bunker 300 meters behind.

Following Mr. Krupp's order, dozens of artillery soldiers ran over at the same time. Shua shua shua opened up the hidden tarpaulin. The six cannons brimmed with killing intent were lined up in a row in the wilderness.

Immediately following that, ammunition was loaded onto the horse carriage as it delivered 18 rounds of artillery shells. The live ammunition shooting exercise had officially begun!

Boom

The scarlet flame shot out a full foot long from the muzzle of the turret! The loud noise shook everyone's ears! The shell tore through the sky with a rumble like the rumble of a train.

Black smoke and flames rose from the horizon in the distance, and the sound of explosions shook the surrounding birds and beasts, causing them to wail.

None of the Chinese military officers were looking at the huge explosions, nor were they looking at the trajectory of the artillery shells in the sky. All of their eyes were firmly fixed on the tail of the artillery, which was to say, the movements of the gunners.

Luo Huo turned pale with fright. He could not help but shout, "It's too fast, it's too fast!"

Prussian gunners are flying! He unscrewed the cannon latch, and after that, the reloader filled the ammunition. Then, he quickly closed the gun latch, and used the momentum to quickly pull the fuse.

With a bang, flames more than a foot long rushed out of the muzzle of the cannon and the artillery shell flew off into the distance. The huge recoil from the cannon shook the earth, causing dust and dirt to fly into the air.

"Good heavens! Too fast. It only took 25 seconds to load and fire a shell. Oh my god! Can you load and fire a cannonball in 25 seconds? " Bing Tai screamed in disbelief while holding onto his pocket watch.

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! Triple Shot only took 1 minute and 20 seconds! "

The entire Chinese observer mission was in an uproar. Everyone was scrambling for the binoculars in their hands, looking at the distant gunner in disbelief, their hands moving as fast as lightning.

"No tail flames!" Everyone, look! There is really no leakage of the tail flame! All of the fucking gunners are safe! They were all safe! "Quick, look …"

The excited officers patted each other on the shoulders. They could not believe what they were seeing. What a revolutionary moment! They could imagine how desperate the enemy would be if the cannons were placed on the battlefield!

Proud Krupp raised his head with her hands behind her back. These are just ordinary runaways! If the most elite artillery veterans of the army were to operate it, the third company could definitely enter for 60 seconds! "

"At this time, the enemy's front-loaded artillery can only fire once, but we can fire three times, and the firing rate is more than three times faster!"

"Ha ha-ha, this is an epoch-making revolution!"

At this moment, a horse suddenly came running from the faraway observation post. The Prussian rider on the horse shouted excitedly, "The data is out, the data is out..." "The range data has been released …"

"The average range of an eight-pound cannon is 2,300 meters!" The range of a 12 pound cannon exceeds 4,500 meters! "

"Oh my god, it's actually twice the distance of a previous cannon. Is its range that far?"

Seeing this, Xiao Letian did not hesitate anymore. He grabbed Mr. Krupp's hand and said, "Esteemed sir, let's talk about our cooperation. I hope to be able to open a branch factory with you in Ryukyu."

"Let us work together to produce this advanced weapon. This will be a very profitable business!"
