Krupp let Xiao Letian cheat the truth, and he suddenly became at a loss. The lies were obviously not allowed to be made up! But he didn't dare to take Xiao Letian to see those new cannons.

After all, the new cannons are Prussian secret weapons, and the military issued strict orders that these weapons must not be made public until the war breaks out.

But Xiao Letian is a friend of Prussia after all. Of course, people at Krupp know a lot of inside information. He knows that the Franco-Prussian War must be fought, and he also knows that Xiao Letian must be a side-by-side ally of Prussia. So should we keep secrets to allies?

If the other party has not cheated out a secret, then he can pretend not to know, which is understandable! But now the head of state has cheated out the truth and is blocked at the door to see the secret weapon, which is a bit difficult to refuse.

In the end, it was the civilian secretary sent by Prime Minister Besmer, who relieved Mr. Krupp. This was the special commissioner sent by the Prime Minister to Xiao Lotte, who specifically helped the Chinese people coordinate various relationships between Prussian officials and the people.

He walked to Mr. Krupp's ear and whispered a few times, "Let our guests visit it! After all, they already know this secret, and I think the Prime Minister wouldn't mind..."

"Okay! Since you are willing to take this responsibility, I have nothing to say... Sirs and I come here with me. Let's go to the artillery test site outside the city, where the new cannons are hidden!"

The group of visitors left the steel factory and drove quickly out of the city in a carriage.

Essen, the core city of the Ruhr Industrial Zone, is one of the core cities of Prussian industrialization and one of the cities protected by heavy troops. It is in the endless barracks outside the city that kills the sky. Countless new recruits are receiving training here. Deep in the barracks, a vast wasteland surrounded by enclosed is the test site of the Krupp Company.

On the endless fields, several tents set up by rain-proof canvas attracted everyone's attention.

After getting closer, people saw six pitch-black and shiny steel cannons under the canvas tent, waiting quietly for people to review.

"Gentlemen! There are three eight-pound cannons and three twelve-pound cannons here. They are all produced by our Krupp company using the most advanced tank steel technology, and have added top-secret exhaust gas leakage prevention technology..."

When people looked closely, they found that the six cannons had complex and unique steel bolts at the tails.

Wang Huaiyuan next to Xiao Letian suddenly asked, "Didn't he say there is a giant shore defense cannon? It's the kind that is specially used to defend ports and shell the naval warships?"

Krupp frowned and said, "Sir! The military department's requirement is that there are indeed three new cannons, but now it is the eve of the war, and our main energy is still to focus on army operations, so we only produce two types of field artillery. As for the shore defense cannons that block the sea, they are only on the drawings at this moment!"

"Don't make the idea of ​​drawings! If you want to see those drawings, you may have to find the Prime Minister to give a written order, otherwise I will never show you these top-secret information!"

Krupp thought in his heart that he wanted to see the drawings? What a joke! It would be a great favor to let you see the real thing. If you really saw the drawings and recorded the top secret data, wouldn’t I have lost a lot!

When you see the real thing, you are just watching the fun, but you can't copy it. If you are asked to copy the drawings and data, then will my secret of making money be completely exposed!

Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop Director Wang's questioning. He nodded at Mr. Krupp, "I understand your difficulties very well. The drawings are top-secret information. We understand this rule and will not force you to ask for it!"

"Can we show us the advanced power of cannons now?"

"The gunners are in place and are ready to shoot three live ammunitions in a row, and show us the VIPs from afar, the huge power of new weapons!"

The Chinese tour group immediately left the canvas tent and walked into the bulletproof bunker 300 meters away from the rear.

With Mr. Krupp's order, dozens of artillery soldiers ran up in unison. They opened the hidden rainproof canvas, and the six murderous cannons lined up in the wilderness.

Immediately afterwards, ammunition was transported by carriage and 18 fixed-load shells were brought, and the live-fire exercise officially began!

Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom...

The red flames spewed out of the muzzle more than a foot long! The loud noise made everyone's ears roar! The shells cut through the sky and rumbling like a roar of trains.

Black smoke and fire were rising from the distant horizon, and the explosion made the birds and beasts cry around.

The layman watched the fun, the experts looked at the tricks, and none of the Chinese officers looked at the explosions with huge bullet points, nor did anyone look at the trajectory of the shells in the sky. All their eyes were staring at the tail of the cannon, which means they were fighting the gunners.

Luo Huo was shocked and shouted involuntarily, "It's too fast, it's too fast!"

The Prussian gunner was simply about to fly! Unscrew the bolt, and then the loader loaded the shell, then quickly closed the bolt, and then the gunner quickly pulled the fuse.

With a bang, the gun's gun rushed out of flames more than a foot long, and the shells flew into the distance, and the huge recoil of the artillery made the earth's dust fly.

"Oh my God! It's too fast. It took only 25 seconds to load and fire a shell. Oh my God! Can I load and fire a shell in 25 seconds?" Hitoro shouted incrediblely while holding his pocket watch.

"Incredible, really incredible! It took only 1 minute and 20 seconds for three consecutive shooting!"

The entire Chinese observation group was full of excitement, and people were scrambling to watch the gunners in disbelief, with their hands as fast as lightning.

"No tail flame! Look, there is really no tail flame leakage. All gunners are safe! They are safe! Look..."

The excited officers patted each other on their shoulders, and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. This was a very epoch-making revolutionary moment! They could imagine how desperate the enemy would fall into if the artillery was placed on the battlefield like this!

Krupp proudly raised his head with his hands behind his back, "What's this! These are just ordinary runners! If the army's most elite artillery veterans are allowed to operate, the three-shot shot will definitely be within 60 seconds!"

"In this way, the enemy's front-mounted artillery can only fire once, but we can fire three times, with a total firing rate of more than three times!"

"Hahaha, this is an epoch-making revolution!"

At this moment, a war horse suddenly ran over the distant observation post. The Prussian rider on the horse shouted excitedly, "The data is out, the data is out... the range data has already come out..."

"The average range of the eight-pound gun reaches 2300 meters! The range of the 12-pound gun exceeds 4500 meters!"

"Oh my God, it's twice as far as the front-mounted artillery. Is the range so far?"

Seeing this, Xiao Letian no longer hesitated. He grabbed Mr. Krupp's hand. "Dear sir, let's talk about our cooperation. I hope to open a branch with you in Ryukyu!"

"Let's make such advanced weapons together there, it's going to be a very profitable big business!"
Chapter completed!
