It is said that the sketch was drawn by the commander himself!

The first time he saw this thing, Kong Tingxun knew that it would be a very powerful infantry weapon.

But to Kong Tingxun's surprise, this infantry gun was abandoned by the Ming Dynasty.

The reason is simple, the Ming army does not need it.

The Ming army was equipped with a large number of tractors.

Even when the road conditions are very bad, the tractor can drag the howitzer along with the troops.

Moreover, the Ming army was generally equipped with field telephones, so communication between the front and the rear was considered smooth.

Give me the coordinates of the observation post here, and the cannonball there will enter the barrel.

As for close fire support, mortars, which are easier to carry than infantry artillery, became Li Xiao's inevitable choice.

What's more, every company of the Ming army was equipped with grenade launchers.

This thing can hit targets about 800 meters away, making it a machine gun nemesis.

Infantry artillery seemed a bit useless in the eyes of the Ming army!

It is useless in the eyes of the Ming army, but it is a treasure in the armies of European countries.

Kong Tingxun took out this thing and immediately aroused Mao Qi's interest.

Seeing the excited eyes of the Big Three, Kong Tingxun nodded.

This is a big business, and making money from gunfire is almost a long-term thing.

Because 80mm artillery shells also require supporting production, the life of the barrel is also limited.

As long as this business is run well, there will be no problem at all for three generations.

"You have some kind of cannon, so take us to see it now." Mao Qi couldn't wait any longer.

He eagerly wanted to know how powerful this cannon actually was.

Although the drawing says that the projectile weighs 3.8 kilograms, it is similar to a heavy mortar shell.

But Moltke still believed that seeing is believing.

"Don't be so impatient, we still have to meet Napoleon." Bismarck smiled and slapped Moltke in the face.

"Dear Hans, now that you have successfully developed it, start mass manufacturing.

Boy, I believe you are ready.
