In Qin Tian's view, if every infantry squad of the German Army can be equipped with an MG10 squad machine gun, a grenadier canister, a sniper rifle, and the remaining soldiers are equipped with M1 semi-automatic rifles, this will make the firepower of the German Army reach the level of World War II in another time and space, and it is still a first-class level.

In this way, in the coming First World War, the German Army would have an even greater advantage. Even if the war was once again mired in trench warfare, the German Army had enough firepower to crush the British and French trench warfare.

Therefore, Qin Tiancai couldn't wait to develop these weapons, hoping to equip the German Army as soon as possible. There are still a few years left before the outbreak of war. If the German Army starts to change its equipment from now, it will be completely in time.

"Father, generals, the performance of these weapons developed by the German Arms Company must be well understood. In order for the German Empire to crush Britain, France, Russia and other countries in future wars, I hope that the Army can use these weapons developed by the German Arms Company to replace them with those weapons that the Army is currently equipped with, so as to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the German Imperial Army. After Qin Tian finished speaking, he looked at the army generals. Qin Tian thought to himself that after this exhibition, the army began to change its uniforms, and it was a matter of course.

It's just that Qin Tian soon knew that he seemed to be thinking wrong. It seems to be very difficult to achieve his goal.

"What do you think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's suggestion?" Wilhelm II looked at the generals of the army. On this issue, even if he was the emperor, it was difficult for him to directly force the army to accept his orders.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These weapons developed by the German Arms Company are indeed very good. If military spending allows, I think it should be redressed. "War Minister Feng? Falkenhein was the first to speak.

On the one hand, although these weapons developed by the German arms company are indeed excellent, once equipped, they can further enhance the strength of the German army. On the other hand, it is Feng? Falkenhayne actively moved closer to Qin Tian. Feng, who has been pressed by Moltke Jr.? Falkenhayne, in order to pull down Little Moltke, has now fully turned to Qin Tian and has become Qin Tian's representative in the army.

Other generals also spoke. It's just that most of these generals are people who support Qin Tian. Others, they don't say a word. These were Moltke's people and those who were close to Mauser and Rheinmetall.

Although, they have already seen the excellent performance of these weapons of Deutsche Arms, they have taken the benefits of Mauser and Rheinmetall, and naturally they have to speak for them.

"Your Majesty, if you change clothes on a large scale, I'm afraid it will take a lot of money. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, these weapons developed by Deutsche Arms are very good. However, I'm afraid the price is not low, right? Deputy Chief of the General Staff General Waldze said with a frown.

Qin Tian nodded: "The price of the M1 semi-automatic rifle is almost twice that of the Mauser 1898 rifle. ”

"And how much will it cost if there is a large-scale costume change?" The generals immediately began to discuss.

Even Wilhelm II couldn't help frowning. Although, the standing army of the German Army was only a few hundred thousand men. But in the event of a war, that number will rise to three million or more. This meant that they had to procure enough weapons to stockpile before war broke out. Such a large sum of money is undoubtedly a huge pressure on Germany, which is already heavily indebted.

"The weapons developed by Deutsche Arms are good, but they are too expensive. Therefore, I suggest that the army first purchase small quantities, and then change equipment when the military budget is sufficient. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the German Army is still the first in the world. The superiority in weapons will not be obvious to us. Moltke said.

Qin Tian's face suddenly became a little unsightly, in order to expand the armament war, Germany's finances can be said to be in deficit for many years. Even if war breaks out, Germany's finances will not improve. Even if Germany won the war in the future, all this will get better. You can't wait until that time for the German Army to purchase these weapons from Deutsche Munitions, right? In that case, wouldn't Qin Tian's hard work be in vain? The reason why he urged the arms companies to develop these weapons as soon as possible was that he hoped that the German Army would be able to reduce its losses in future wars with these weapons. After all, the population of Germany is not large, and every young adult is a valuable labor force!

"Your Majesty, the weapons developed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's arms company are of course very good. However, there is a fatal flaw. That will greatly increase our logistical pressure. A German general said.

Indeed, these weapons and equipment developed by the German Arms Company have a fast rate of fire and strong firepower, which means that on the battlefield, the ammunition that needs to be consumed will increase exponentially, and this will greatly increase the pressure on the logistics troops.

However, Qin Tian didn't think it was much of a problem, if the combat effectiveness of the troops could be further improved, even if the logistical pressure increased greatly, it would be completely worth it.

"The problem of logistical pressure, we can increase the number of logistics personnel, and use other ways to solve it. For example, in the logistics force, there are more trucks. That way, it won't be a big problem. "Feng? Falkenhain said.

"The two machine guns developed by Deutsche Munitions are both air-cooled machine guns, and compared with water-cooled machine guns, the weight has been reduced and the rate of fire has also increased. But I noticed that both machine guns had red barrels after continuous firing. In that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue firing! Another general said.

"It's not a problem. As soon as the barrel is scrapped, it can be replaced with a spare barrel. A trained machine gunner is able to change the barrel in a matter of seconds. "Gustav? Krupp said.

"However, that creates a gap between shots, creating opportunities for the attacking enemy. At the same time, carrying a spare barrel increases the weight of the soldier. In terms of cost, it is also very disadvantageous, which will further increase our cost of use. The army general retorted.
