Chapter 105 New Weapons(1/2)
Aim and shoot!
Another broken wall a hundred or ten meters away disappeared into the smoke again.
"Okay, very good! Great." Rundstedt's face shone with excitement.
Although this thing only has a range of 100 meters, even against the latest Type IV tank of the Ming Army, it has to advance to a distance of 50 meters.
But this is more reliable than using people to carry explosives and rush forward to blow up the tank.
"How many of these do you have now?" Moltke also felt that this thing was a good anti-tank weapon.
"The carriage behind brought three hundred pieces. If more are needed, they will need to be transported from Bavaria by airship."
Looking at Moltke and Rundstedt, Kong Tingxun knew that he could make a lot of money from this business.
Infantry artillery has already made him a lot of money, but after the Ming army learned about infantry artillery, it carried out quasi-team attacks.
Infantry artillery will no longer be as large as when it first entered the battlefield!
The early glory of infantry artillery was entirely due to the Ming Dynasty being unprepared for this thing.
Moreover, the technical content of infantry artillery is actually not very high.
Intellectual property rights cannot be manipulated in these days. The UK, France, even Italy and Spain are all imitating.
Even Britain and France, which have relatively good industrial levels, have made some improvements.
The battlefield effect is much better than the original Prussian infantry artillery.
With competitors, Kong Tingxun's position in the family began to become precarious.
Even Duke Winter, who used to admire him very much, gradually began to become indifferent.
Even Kong Tingxun's wife, a young lady from the Duke's family, wouldn't even let him sleep in her bed.
In order to restore the status of his family as soon as possible, and after hearing that the Chinese tanks were rampant, he thought of the anti-tank weapons he knew.
The bazooka actually existed in the Ming army for a long time, but it was just called a rocket launcher in the Ming army.
The Ming army had strong firepower, and there was no shortage of firepower on the front lines. The range of rocket launchers was limited, not even as good as grenade launchers.
The coalition forces have no armored targets, so rocket launchers are useless.
It was only equipped for a short period of time and then was withdrawn due to performance reasons.
The Ming army thought it was useless, but to the coalition forces it was a treasure.
It can be seen from the expressions of Moltke and Rundstedt that they like the bazooka very much.
"In fact, the launcher of this thing can be reused. After launching, you only need to reinstall the warhead.
But you see, the conical warhead in front is larger than the caliber. It is definitely powerful enough to penetrate a tank!
I call this invention super caliber."
Kong Tingxun did not look for the warhead and reload the bomb for Lundstedt, who was still unfinished, but introduced the bazooka in detail.
"Oh, this is better." Rondstedt nodded. This way the firepower is more sustainable and the pressure on logistics is not that great.
Mao Qi remained silent. He had already guessed what this philistine Ming Dynasty man was going to say next.
"Two generals, can we discuss the price? As long as the price is agreed upon, you can send those in the back car to the front line immediately."
Sure enough, Kong Tingxun started to negotiate the price.
"No matter how much it costs, I want it.
Lieutenant Colonel Schultz, take your people and move everything from the carriages behind to the airship, and send it to the front line as soon as it gets dark.
Brothers are all waiting!"
"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Schultz immediately led a group of soldiers to unload the goods as if they were robbing them.
Mao Qi's helplessness, isn't it obvious that he is waiting to be slaughtered?
If it were someone else, it would be fine.
Behind this bastard Hans is Duke Winter.
If you want to take advantage of Duke Levent's money... even Emperor Frederick would not dare to do so.
"Tell me your price!" Mao Qi asked helplessly.
"Uh...! One thousand Reichsmarks per piece, the price is quite reasonable." Kong Tingxun looked at the soldiers who were unloading the goods with a smile.
"One thousand Reichsmarks!" Even though he was prepared, Kong Tingxun's price still shocked him.
One thousand Reichsmarks is the annual salary of a general.
Ordinary workers only earn a monthly salary of more than ten marks.
This is no longer the mouth of a lion, this is the mouth of a fucking whale.
This is naked robbery!
The thin-looking Ming Dynasty in front of me is more ruthless than a wolf.
Moltke wanted to take out his gun and shoot this bastard, but he had no choice. Standing behind this bastard was Duke Winter.
"Can you...!"
"Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, this thing has been researched with great effort.
And it is what is most needed on the front line, and the research and development costs alone are as much as one million Reichsmarks.
We also have to record this money into costs.
One thousand Reichsmarks is actually very fair."
The goods were almost finished unloading, so naturally Kong Tingxun refused to lower the price.
"Okay! I'll write you a note and you go to the Imperial Treasury to get the money."
Moltke had been working under Frederick for his whole life. Although he was a soldier, he was also a politician.
Even if you have been hanging around all your life, it will not be in vain.
Since you are so open-minded, just leave it to the Ministry of Finance. Let Bismarck compete with Duke Winter. After all, you are both dukes, and your hats are the same size.
"Thank you very much, I will attach the new order."
"Yeah! Order a thousand launchers first, and then order 10,000 warheads."
Mao Qi also thought about it. The frontline needs this thing now. Let this guy succeed for once!
It is none of his business to have no money to pay Duke Winter, but it is his business to lose the battle.
"Thank you! We will deliver the goods as soon as possible." Kong Tingxun nodded happily and returned to the carriage.
The carriage immediately galloped away and headed straight for the airship landing site.
This is the front line, and the airship needs to be dark before it can take off. Otherwise, it won't even be able to escape when it encounters the Ming Dynasty's fighter jets.
Two kilometers away from the airship landing site, we saw groups of anti-aircraft gun positions.
The airship landing site is a key protection target, and there are seven organized anti-aircraft artillery regiments here.
Arriving at the airship landing site, Kong Tingxun was happily eating steak and drinking red wine in a warm private room.
The conditions on the front line were a bit worse, the steak tasted average, but the red wine was pretty good, authentic Bordeaux winery.
"Mr. Hans!" While eating, the door of the private room opened, and a tall figure in military uniform appeared at the door.
It was very impolite to come in without knocking. Kong Tingxun raised his head and glanced.
"General Rundstedt."
Kong Tingxun swallowed the curse that was about to burst out of his mouth immediately.
"I didn't bother you with your meal." Rundstedt pulled the chair and sat down.
"No! No! General, have you eaten yet? Let's eat some together?"
It's still a traditional problem of Ming people, so it's easy to invite people to dinner.
"have eaten!
I came here to ask you if there are any other ways to deal with tanks."
Rundstedt hated the Ming people very much, and even more hated the spineless Ming people in front of him.
But he had no choice but to come over and ask this Ming man for advice for the sake of his brothers on the front line.
"Deal with tanks?" Kong Tingxun rolled his eyes, feeling that a business opportunity had come again.
"Yes! The Ming army's tanks pose too great a threat to us. If we don't have a good solution, we can only hold on to the front for another five to seven days..."
What Rundstedt calls persistence is actually the time it takes for his team to burn out.
"There is a relatively low-cost one called an anti-tank grenade.
It is very powerful, but the price is three times that of ordinary grenades.
Throw it under a tank from 30 meters away. After the explosion, it can break the tracks or stun the people inside."
