C2503 top secret cannon

The corners of Krupp's eyes twitched in anger. He pointed to the fine weapons in the showroom and said tremblingly, "These are all garbage in your mouth?" This is the hottest weapon on the international arms market! "

"So what if it is the British Army? The quality of the cannons they have equipped are only mediocre, and these products are trash in your eyes. My apologies, dear Führer, please forgive my rudeness, but I can only say that your tone is too arrogant! "

"What does Asia look like! I think you know better than me that there aren't even any basic steel refineries there. They can't produce a single steel gun, and they can't even produce high quality bronze cannons! "

"If this weapon is brought to Asia, it will definitely increase the combat strength of your troops by several folds. You can dominate the entire Asia!"

"If it weren't for your kindness in Prussia, I'm afraid I would have asked you to leave this place as soon as possible, based on your rude words today!" Krupp turned her head and gasped.

laughed. Looks like Mr. Krupp is exactly the same as what the intelligence described. He is a typical arrogant, stubborn, and strict Prussian.

These people were no different from other Europeans in their very bones. From the bottom of their hearts, they looked down on the backward Asia.

It was just that the Chinese were an exception. When he was at the Poo War s, the Chinese soldier fought through his blood and sweat to create a golden signboard for him in Europe.

But even so, the old ideas were not so easily dispelled!

Maybe in the eyes of the Mr. Krupp, the Chinese were a group of brave warriors, a group of strict and disciplined martial artists, and some respectable allies. But the Asian was still the Asian, so their science and technology were definitely not as good as Europe's.

Xiao Letian did not get angry. He reached out and patted an eight pound bronze cannon beside him and said softly, "Mr. Krupp, did you forget? "I once participated in the Poo War. Why was the Prussian Army still heavily using prefabricated artillery during that war?"

"Let me remind you that the Poo War Army is already equipped with a large number of needlepoint rifles. But why is the development of artillery technology lagging far behind that of rifles? "

"The technology used to produce rifles is much stricter than that used to produce artillery, okay?" Why in the history of mankind was there a gun first, followed by a gun? It's all because of the processing technology. "

"I fought in that war, and I've come into contact with a lot of your veterans in Prussia. At that time, the artillery technology in your country had already encountered a serious bottleneck, and I am very clear about this! "

"Let's be frank! I wish to see the new cannon that has solved this technical problem, and not these traditional old prefabricated models! "

Mr. Krupp's expression became a bit awkward. He never thought that Xiao Letian was also an expert, but this guy could be considered as someone who could bite off a cooked duck's bill. He still stubbornly said, "Un! There are no more latest models. This is the latest model we are going to produce! "

"Hmph …" Xiao Letian groaned in a low voice: "Looks like I have to smash this window paper! Sir, let me be clear! "What I want is the newest type of afterloading cannon that has solved the air leak at the back of the cannon, not the trash now!"

"Hiss …" Krupp sucked in a breath of cold air, and looked at Xiao Letian with an inconceivable look in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

In the history of artillery evolution, there was a huge technical problem that had plagued scientists from all over the world.

This was the problem of the tail air leak. It was well-known that the artillery shells and gunpowder were all installed at the end of the barrel. The projectile needs the high temperature and high pressure gas provided by the gunpowder explosion to propel the projectile into flight and kill the enemy.

As the tail of the cannon was open, there was a movable bolt that was used to load the ammunition. This created a sealed problem, and the flame would inevitably leak out through the gap.

The principles of cannons and guns were the same, but the amount of gunpowder they contained was not on the same level. When a cannon exploded, it would produce more high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases.

If the latch of the cannon was not properly sealed, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas would be sprayed out from the cracks. In other words, the energy would leak out, affecting the gun's range and power.

Before the Poo War s, Krupp had already produced a few types of rear loading cannons, but none of them were able to solve the problem of the tail flames leaking out. Two of the accidents had also resulted in the deaths and injuries of the soldiers operating the cannons.

The high temperature of the flames burned the soldiers. Some of the soldiers even died from their injuries.

Such a cannon must not be sent to the battlefield. Before they could kill the enemy, they must first burn their manipulator to death! Wasn't this a joke?

It was not just Prussia that was plagued by this problem. The British, French, and American armies were also plagued by it.

After the Poo War, the Krupp painfully thought, investing a huge amount of money to solve this major technical problem in the history of artillery evolution.

God bless Prussia, just last year the Krupp finally came up with a mature and stable plan and launched the latest cannon.

This kind of artillery completely solved the problem of the tail flames leaking out. This increased the safety performance of the breech-mounted artillery by tens of times. Not only was the seal on the tail tighter, so the loss of kinetic energy for this type of artillery was also very small.

After the explosion, all the kinetic energy was released towards the muzzle. This way, the cannonball would be able to gain more energy and would naturally be able to fly more accurately.

If the loading was equal, the range of the new cannon would be more than twice that of the old one!

This was obviously the highest secret of the Prussian military, but he didn't expect Xiao Letian to crack this window paper with his mouth today.

When Xiao Letian looked at the panic and fear in Mr. Krupp's eyes, he knew that he had already stabbed right into his vitals.

The Führer sneered, "Don't forget, we are in a paramilitary alliance with Prussia, so we will also be heading towards the battlefield in the future!"

"We, the Chinese Army, also have secret weapons that are owned by Prussia! Now bring out your latest cannon! "

"Damn it!" Who told you? Is it Bismark? Or Mauch? They were treason! I am going to sue the king! "

Xiao Letian curled his lips: "Alright, Sir, stop acting here! No one has told me that I was only able to deduce the truth based on common sense. "

"In the second half of last year, the Prussian military suddenly added 623 big orders from the Krupp arsenal! This was very unusual. Why would this happen? I think that's the only explanation for it! "

"Prussia is ready for war. The military expenses could be said to be split into two halves by a copper coin. The order for the cannons was made three or four years ago. Why did they suddenly add such a large order last year?"

My dear Mr. Krupp, take out your latest weapons. This will benefit both of us.

"Oh!" You're too treacherous, you actually tricked me! " Krupp blew her beard.
