The joint technical research between the navies is currently the strongest among the three countries, and Carlo brought it out from the beginning, because he knew that both Germany and Austria relied on Italy in this regard.
Of course, with the help of the navy's technological research and development, it was natural to transfer it to the army.
At this time, Carlo released a large satellite. "In fact, in the army, we are the ones who need joint research most. Our country recently received news that France has developed a time-honored artillery that can fire every minute.
A new 75mm rapid-fire gun with 15 shells.”
"This is impossible! There is no such fast artillery in the world!"
Before Carlo could finish his words, the Kaiser stood up and denied it.
"This is completely incredible."
Archduke Ferdinand also expressed his disapproval of Carlo's remarks.
Don’t they understand artillery?
Wrong, it is precisely because they understand that they deny it. You must know that the current rate of fire of artillery with similar calibers in various countries is basically 2-3 rounds per minute. No matter how hard you train, the rate of fire is the same. Then
Why is it that all artillery can only shoot at this rate of fire?
Yes, that's the recoil. The recoil when the artillery is fired will push the gun body back away from the gun emplacement. Not only does the soldier have to work hard to push it back to its original position, it limits the places that can be selected when the artillery is placed, and it also makes aiming impossible.
If you lose, you have to recalculate the ballistic elements. With this back and forth, time slipped away like this. And these two people obviously knew this, so they flatly denied it after Carlo opened his mouth.
"I also hope that what I said is false, but there are some things that cannot be solved by denying them."
Well, in fact, these two people knew that they had said the wrong thing as soon as they opened their mouths. But this is also reasonable. You must know that Germany trusts its own artillery very much and considers it to be the best artillery in the world. I didn't see this
Krupp cannons were sold all over the world and can be seen everywhere, which is proof.
Of course, Carlo's words now broke Krupp's myth. An epoch-making artillery was actually born, and they didn't know it yet.
"Can I ask, do you know the performance of this artillery?"
That's right, at this time the two finally calmed down and immediately asked them about the performance of this product.
Carlo then briefly explained the data of Miss 75, which made the two of them, especially the Kaiser, frown. With a rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute, it still had a range of 8,500 meters, and its maneuverability was pretty good.
God, are you going to abandon Germany?
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, William couldn't sit still. He needed to discuss it with his military officials immediately.
"I'm sorry to excuse you. I hope we can continue chatting later."
"I'm sorry, I'll excuse you for a moment."
Looking at the two people leaving in a hurry, Carlo left immediately. The thunder that exploded today will have some effect. I believe this will be enough to put pressure on Germany and Austria.
That's right, Miss 75's information mainly came from Carlo's mind. After the French developed this epoch-making masterpiece, they kept it secret and even did not hesitate to modify the data.
But unfortunately, this is of no use to Carlo.
For Italy's future artillery, Germany and Austria must be informed that the French are hiding a big killer. As for why Austria and Hungary are also nervous, because Russia is an ally of France. Could it be that this epoch-making masterpiece will not appear in the Russian army?
In your hand?
In fact, telling them earlier would have forced Germany to adopt the heavy artillery route at least two years earlier. Yes, Germany was forced to equip so many heavy artillery pieces in World War I by this Miss 75.
You must know that at this time, the German divisions were mainly equipped with 77mm field guns, and they had not yet thought about using heavy artillery. That thing was too heavy and was not suitable for maneuvering with the army. (Historically, it was also this Miss 75 that forced Germany to leave.
As for the heavy artillery route, Germany couldn’t beat France due to the fast rate of fire. As for the French military who got the artifact, they were so fascinated by this 75-year-old girl that they lost their consciousness.)
As for Carlo's intention, it is very simple, that is, to make the German and Austrian armies feel the pressure, and then promote the joint research and development of army weapons among the three countries. Italy has limited funds. If not, how can it obtain the latest army weapon technology.
In order for Italy to always be at the forefront of military technology, Carlo was forced to use some crooked tricks. It was all because of lack of money. Who with money wouldn't want to develop their own exclusive technology?
.
Of course, Carlo only knows. If you ask him to tell you the detailed data or key technologies of Miss 75, it will be a bit difficult.
Although the news brought by Carlo made the two monarchs (princes) uneasy and left midway, they returned soon after.
"Thank you Carlo for bringing this news, it is so important to us."
"Yes, thank you very much for your country."
Let’s just forget about the thanks from the two monarchs. How about discounting them?
Of course, Carlo could only think about this in his heart.
"Both of you, I think that under the current circumstances, our three countries really need joint research on the military technology."
Facing Carlo's words about joint research and development again, William's attitude was completely different this time. "I very much agree with Carlo's words. Military technology is advancing with each passing day. We cannot delay for a moment, otherwise we will fall behind at any time."
It was obvious that the Kaiser's words were inspired by this. In the morning, German artillery technology was still the best in the world. Now, even before lunch, it was already lagging behind. This change happened so fast that it was hard to guard against it.
"We in Austria have no problem. Joint research and development of military technology is very beneficial to our three countries. I agree very much."
Okay, after the monarch has reached a basic agreement, it’s time for the ministers to come on stage. But the main discussion is with the military. Military personnel from Germany, Italy and Austria will discuss the main content of the research and development of navy and army technologies.
.
This is different from the gentle discussion between the three monarchs. The military leaders of these three countries are not economical. For example, it took more than a week to define the caliber of naval guns. The main reason is that the navies of various countries have different perceptions of caliber.
The order of development of naval guns is also different.
After a week of quarreling and slapping the table and staring, the calibers of naval guns were unified. The three countries unanimously agreed that naval guns should be divided into calibers of 37, 57, 75, 105, 150, 210, 254, 305, 350, 380, and 410.
Regardless of the warships and guns built by the previous countries, the warships built by the three countries in the future will need to move closer to this aspect, because the future research on the artillery of the three countries will mainly focus on these calibers. Of course, for the navies of the three countries, the most important ships are currently
In terms of gun research and development, the 305mm is still the most important.
Because the three countries decided that the next level of warships should be equipped with 305mm rapid-fire naval guns.
