December 22, 1908, at a shooting range outside Berlin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Today, this shooting range has been completely closed. The army and security services have put this place under close surveillance.

On the one hand, the people who came to participate in the exhibition of the new weapons of the German Arms Company were all big figures of the Reich, not only important generals of the army, but also the emperor of the Reich, and there was no room for sloppiness in terms of security.

On the other hand, all of these weapons developed by Deutsche Arms are state secrets. If acquired by a hostile nation, it would be a serious threat to the German Empire. Qin Tian also wanted the army of the German Empire to rely on these weapons to crush the armies of other countries and fight a brilliant victory in the future world war.

"Quick, get everything in order, it's almost time. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will be here soon. "Gustav? Krupp arrived at the shooting range ahead of schedule and was responsible for a series of preliminary work such as the layout of the venue.

"Yes, Chairman." The personnel sent by Krupp, as well as the personnel from Deutsche Arms, were busy to ensure that this exhibition could be successfully concluded without problems.

"Gentlemen, can you be sure that there is no problem with these weapons on display?" Gustav? Krupp asked.

"Your Excellency, Chairman, everything is ready. These weapons, after we have been tested again and again, will not be a problem. "An engineer to Gustav? Krupp assured.

Gustav? Krupp nodded, and then he was relieved.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a long line of cars drove into the shooting range. These cars are Daimler A-class cars produced by Daimler AG, which is controlled by Qintian, and once this car came out, it immediately became the representative of the most luxurious cars on the market. Although the price of each car was as high as 50,000 marks, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of those big merchants, big capitalists and big aristocrats, and the sales were very hot. Although the A-segment is not as popular as the B-segment and C-segment, it has become the most luxurious car in Germany and Europe.

Wilhelm II and Qin Tian arrived at the shooting range in the same A-class car. The cars behind were also accompanied by other high-ranking officers of the army and navy, who also arrived at the shooting range. Although, the army is the bulk of the procurement of these weapons. But the Navy is not without a need. What's more, Qin Tian also planned to enable the Navy to form its own Marine Corps. In this case, the navy will have a certain land combat strength. At the same time, this force will also be under his control.

When Moltke was the chief of the army staff, Qin Tian's influence in the army could not be further expanded. In addition to the Minister of War von? In addition to Falkenhayne's side on Qin Tian's side, there were many powerful generals who did not move closer to him. Obviously, they were all Moltke's people. This made Qin Tian have to further improve his strength through other methods. If the navy can have a marine corps, or even develop the strength to ten divisions, it will be of great help to Qin Tian.

Of course, if the Navy establishes a Marine Corps, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the Army. So, it has to be done step by step.

"Your Majesty, good morning!" Gustav? Krupp had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Wilhelm II get out of the car, he immediately greeted him.

"Good morning, Mr. Krupp!" Wilhelm II nodded. Gustav? A big businessman like Krupp had great influence in Germany as well. Even Wilhelm II would not put up a fight in front of him.

"His Royal Highness!" Gustav? Krupp immediately greeted Qin Tian again.

"Mr. Krupp, is everything ready?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, everything is ready!" Gustav? Krupp replied.

Qin Tian nodded, he believed in Gustav? Krupp's ability, this new weapons exhibition, will definitely be very successful.

At 9:30 a.m., after a brief speech, the new weapons show officially began.

The first performance was a general-purpose machine gun developed by the German Arms Company, which was codenamed MG09 general-purpose machine gun.

At the range, five MG09 general-purpose machine guns were ready to open fire. Upon receiving the order to open fire, the machine gunner pulled the trigger.

"Da Da Da!" The dense gunfire rang out in an instant, and the red-hot bullets shrouded the target in the distance like a storm, and the sawdust flew sideways, and in the blink of an eye, the wooden target was hit by the dense bullets, and even some of the targets had been shattered.

In less than half a minute, the chain of two hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition had been exhausted. The barrel of the machine gun was also red from the high temperature.

The generals of the army and navy all looked at the MG09 general-purpose machine guns in amazement. It is clear that these general-purpose machine guns have a faster rate of fire than the MG08 heavy machine guns that are now armed in the army.

"Your Royal Highness, is this the heavy machine gun you developed? The rate of fire seems to be very fast. "War Minister Feng? Falkenhain asked. Originally, he did not have much hope for the newly established German Arms Company. How can a newly established arms company develop a good product in a short period of time? However, the truth gave him a slap in the face.

The other generals undoubtedly thought the same way. But now, one by one, they were all shocked.

"Yes, this is the machine gun we developed. However, we don't call it a heavy machine gun, but a universal machine gun! Qin Tian said.

"General purpose machine gun?" Everyone is guessing what the name means.

"Mr. Krupp, tell Your Majesty and the generals about the capabilities of our general-purpose machine guns!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gustav? Krupp nodded with a smile on his face. Of course he saw it, and these army generals were shocked. This also shows that the performance of the MG09 general-purpose machine gun is far beyond their expectations.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, Generals. The total weight of this general-purpose machine gun we developed is 12.5 kilograms, and even with the tripod, the total weight is only 20 kilograms, which is less than one-third of the MG08 heavy machine gun that the army is currently equipped with. The muzzle velocity is 750 meters per second, the maximum range is 2 kilometers, and the maximum rate of fire is 800 rounds per minute. "Gustav? Krupp presents several key figures.

The generals of the army seem to have been shocked by the performance of the MG09 general-purpose machine gun, and the MG08 heavy machine gun they are now equipped with is simply rubbish compared to it.
