"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that this is a very good machine gun. It is much better than the MG08 heavy machine gun we are currently equipped with. It not only has a faster rate of fire, but also is lighter in weight, suitable for accompanying troops in combat." Von Falkenhain to Wilhelm II.

  King William II nodded. The weight of the MG08 heavy machine gun has always been criticized by the troops. It weighs more than 60 kilograms and requires two people to lift it. On the battlefield, it can only be used as a fixed firepower point. In contrast, a general-purpose machine gun with only 20 kilograms is undoubtedly more applicable.

  Most of the other generals also nodded repeatedly, agreeing that the general-purpose machine gun is better than the MG08 heavy machine gun.

  The chief of the German army's general staff, Mao Qi, did not speak, as if the general-purpose machine gun produced by the German Arms Company had only that performance.

  In fact, Xiao Maoqi was also shocked in his heart, but he just pretended to be calm and didn't show it.

"How is this possible? In such a short period of time, the Deutsche Arms Company has developed such an excellent product. If this continues, how can Mauser and Rheinmetall compete with them? Oscar's influence will definitely go further. Expansion." Little Maoqi was worried. He has a good relationship with Mauser and Rheinmetall, and naturally he doesn't want the market share of the two companies to be seized by the German Arms Company. At the same time, Xiao Maoqi also knew that once Qin Tian gained more power, he might be the chief of the general staff. For his own benefit, he must do his best to prevent Qin Tian from expanding his influence in the army.

  Even if these weapons are excellent, they are very helpful in improving the combat effectiveness of the German Army and will enable the German Army to achieve greater victories at the lowest cost in future wars. But for his own benefit, little Mo Qi would turn a blind eye to this.

   It's just that Xiao Maoqi didn't think about how to stop Qin Tian for a while, so he didn't speak.

  After the general-purpose machine gun, it was the performance of the squad machine gun. Compared with the MG09 general-purpose machine gun, the squad machine gun code-named MG10 is lighter in weight. Although the rate of fire and effective range cannot be compared with the MG09 general-purpose machine gun, it is more suitable for individual carrying.

   "Da da da!" The design of five MG10 squad machine guns started, and the 30 rounds of bullets in a magazine were shot out in an instant. The machine gunners immediately changed magazines and continued to fire. Repeatedly, a total of five magazines were used up before all the machine guns stopped firing.

"Generals, this is the second machine gun developed by the German Armaments Company. We call it a squad machine gun. As the name suggests, this is a machine gun assigned to each infantry squad. This machine gun weighs only 9.5 kilograms, very It is so light that it can be carried by a soldier. It uses magazines to feed ammunition, with a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute and a maximum range of 1,500 meters." Gustav Krupp continued to introduce .

"Is every infantry squad equipped with machine guns? God! This is really crazy. In this case, how powerful our infantry firepower will be!" General Waldzer, the deputy chief of the army's general staff, said with a look on his face. emotion.

  Other army generals almost have the same expressions. The firepower of the German Army was already very powerful, and it was absolutely top-notch among the world's armies. However, if each infantry squad is equipped with machine guns, this will further increase the firepower of the German Army, which will have an overwhelming advantage over the armies of other countries.

  After the MG10 general-purpose machine gun, it is the performance of the M1 semi-automatic rifle and the M2 sniper rifle.

  The rate of fire of the M1 semi-automatic rifle is twice that of the existing Mauser rifle. This also means that using the M1 semi-automatic rifle, one soldier can exert the firepower of two soldiers. Although the effective range and accuracy are slightly worse than the Mauser 1898 rifle, on the battlefield, this is not a big problem. In fierce battles, maintaining a strong firepower output is the most important thing.

  M2 sniper rifle is a special sniper rifle equipped with a scope. If a specially trained sniper uses this sniper rifle, it will become a nightmare for the enemy on the battlefield. Qin Tian is even more aware of how effective an excellent sniper team can be on the battlefield. Especially in street fighting, the effect will be further revealed.

  Wilhelm II was very satisfied after seeing the performance of these firearms of the German Arms Company. There is no doubt that the performance of these firearms is much stronger than what the German Army is currently equipped with, or has not yet been equipped with. Once equipped with the German Army, this will further improve the combat effectiveness of the German Army.

   "Oscar, you did a great job. The firearms you have developed are all very good." William II greatly appreciated Qin Tian's achievements.

   "Father, this is just the beginning. In addition to these firearms, we have two other weapons that need to be tested by everyone." Qin Tian said.

   "Well, let's start!" William II nodded.

  The next performance is the mortar. Mortars of three calibers took turns. All of a sudden, the entire range was filled with the sound of gunfire.

   Artillery such as mortars have already appeared in the Russo-Japanese War. However, it hasn't gotten everyone's attention yet. In order to let the generals know the performance of the mortars, Qin Tian asked these mortars to shoot at the targets in the trenches when they fired. After seeing the performance of these mortars, many generals were all impressed.

   Obviously, this kind of artillery capable of curved fire will pose a deadly threat to the enemies hiding in the trenches. It can even rely on precision strikes to attack the enemy's machine gun firepower points and bunkers and other fortifications. The role of this on the battlefield is undoubtedly very large.

  After the mortar, it was the grenadier. This kind of artillery, which is lighter and easier for infantry to carry, also shocked the generals of the army. Although, the power of the grenade is small, and the range is not far. But for infantry, it is enough. After all, the distance of infantry combat is often within one or two hundred meters, or even within tens of meters. The range of the grenade is enough to cover it.

"Father, all generals. These weapons are carefully developed by the German Arms Company for infantry. Especially infantry squads and infantry platoons need to be equipped with these weapons. Once our troops are equipped with these weapons, our infantry will Form an overwhelming advantage over the enemy!" Qin Tian said confidently.
