Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

William IV heard the words, but said: "Semi-automatic rifles are most suitable for training in the East India. It is one of the largest weapons in our army. Without permission, it needs to be kept secret, but the Mauser gun can be unveiled. "

Mark Lude naturally agreed, because this is an epoch-making super product, "Is that a Mauser gun?"

William IV paused and said, "You can start deploying in the local area. By the way, what is the current manufacturing progress?"

"3,000 pieces per month in China, and 100 pieces of ammunition for each piece. In East India, there are about 2,000 pieces. The factory is in Jakarta."

Mark Rudd praised: "His Majesty's design has amazed everyone in the firearms research and development institute in the Netherlands. This Mauser rifle is safe, simple, sturdy and reliable. For this reason, people in the Firearms Bureau are quick I have become an admirer of your majesty."

Of course, this is the classic work of the Mauser Brothers that will make their mark in the global light weapons market in the future. I took it out nearly 5 years in advance, and I joined the active military almost ten years later. I don’t know if the Mauser Brothers will be in the future. Another breakthrough.

Don't blame me, dude, who told me to stand different from you.

5,000 per month, then the annual average is 60,000. The Netherlands currently has more than 120,000 regular troops and 30,000 reserve troops. That is to say, it will take 2.5 and a half years to replace all these people with Mauser guns.

However, now the Dutch army has just exchanged 20% of Mauser guns, and it will take at least 2 years before all Mauser guns can be replaced.

Thinking that the Tempur War will start next year, how could William IV, who wants to play toothpicks, wait 2 years later. At that time, it was almost close to the second battle of the Prussian Dynasty. .

"This speed is too slow. The weapons manufacturing speed of East India has to keep up with the mainland. Since the second mainland plan is implemented, then all the people must keep up, including the economy and weapons."

Infantry rifles and bayonets are the most unique weapons in the first World War, but they are not the most lethal weapons. Even if it is a semi-automatic weapon that has just appeared in the Netherlands, it is also a part of his weapons, which requires the Netherlands to implement a half-generation strategy. .

What is called a half-generation strategy is actually to learn from the later practice of the United States. The United States' active military armament must be more advanced than other countries. The strategic goal of developing an advanced half-generation.

This is to ensure that the opponent will never keep up with the Dutch strategy in terms of weapon performance, and also maintain a permanent advantage. For this reason, the navy was originally behind, but now with the undisclosed amount on the island of Bliss in the East India, a few A few years ago, the shipbuilding base in Amsterdam was directly transferred to the heavily guarded Elysium, and the second shipbuilding factory was implemented. Since it was a transfer rather than a construction, it successfully entered the shipbuilding attack production state in a short period of time.

The steam ironclads over there have been launched to five ships, for which the Netherlands has invested a total of more than 100 million guilders (£4 million) since 1857.

This is nearly a quarter of the Netherlands' annual military expenditure of 3 million.

And most of this is used for the research and development of weapons and equipment, as well as the factories built for supporting parts, accounting for half of the military expenditure.

In World War I, the honor of being the most lethal light weapon belongs to machine guns and, of course, cannons. The newly established Mauser rifle, which he named the Dutch version of the Mauser 1862 rifle, was hesitant and wanted to choose The 7.62mm caliber of the Russian Mosin Nagan rifle and the 6.5mm Romanian 1893 version of the Manricher.

Or choose the 7.7mm caliber of the same type of rifle used by the British, but he felt that the 1903 version of the 7.62mm in the United States was also good. In the end, he chose the 1898 version of the gun with a caliber of 7.92mm. Say something else, because it is the most famous and most popular in other countries.

However, in choosing the length of the body, he chose the most popular 1.25 meters, and the weight is also 4 kilograms.

Rifles were the most common weapon in World War I, because at that time countless factories in various countries were desperately trying to catch up with production, but most of the models used were very similar in principle. A magazine for reloading several bullets to ensure that bullets are not refilled frequently.

This is also a weapon that neither Europe nor the United States have now, so it is true that the Netherlands belongs to the world's No. 1 in this regard.

The original world was not born until the Mauser Brothers' Mauser rifle in 1867. This fur-colored design rotary latching bolt is loaded with a single-shot rifle. This rifle was only adopted as the German Empire when the German Empire was established in 1871. The standard standard rifle has become the most popular light weapon in the German Empire, named the 1871 Mauser rifle.

At this time, the Minister of Industry Wem Cotter said: "Your Majesty, the construction of semi-active rifles and dreadnought-class battleships has begun, especially with the development of large-scale supporting facilities, a semi-automatic rifle factory has been established in Jakarta, employing more than 1,000 people. , and the three originally desolate small villages of Gbagbo, Modan, and Bintouni on the coast of Shrike Bay on the Bliss Peninsula. With the development of more than 6 years, nearly 200,000 Dutch people have migrated and become a village. Not a small city.

In the first four months of the first half of this year, among the 80,000 native Dutch people who migrated, another 50,000 chose to move to Weigu Island in the northern part of the Bliss Peninsula, 10,000 people, and 20,000 people in Suolong Town. There are 20,000 people in the town of Fakfak in the southern part of the Elysium Peninsula, and most of the remaining 30,000 people are scattered on other islands including Jakarta. "

"Oh, why are they all willing to move to the island of New Guinea, which is more desolate than Jakarta?"

Don't they all like to go to prosperous places? Why do these immigrants like to go to remote places? Are they stupid?

At this time, the Minister of the Interior Jonrer said bitterly; "Your Majesty ~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is because there are too many subsidies this time, especially in the Elysium Peninsula, the subsidies received are three times higher than other places. one-half"

"What?" William IV looked at Jonrrell unexpectedly, then at Wem Kurt, and shouted with a dark face, "Why should we treat them differently?"

Suddenly the air seemed to get cold, but it couldn't stop it in summer.

Weim Kurt gave the answer with a wry smile: "Of course this was not arranged by us, but a method from a Dutch arms dealer."

Seeing that William IV's dissatisfaction remained, he said bitterly: "At present, in the domestic and arms market, due to His Majesty's division, weapon secrets are prevented from being leaked.

As the government established a large-scale naval base on the Elysium Peninsula, many weapon accessories suppliers have chosen to follow the establishment of factories in the north of the Elysium Peninsula, where the population is sparsely populated, so the weapon accessories suppliers have no choice but to increase the subsidies. And to ensure stable job opportunities, to increase the willingness of immigrants. "

The world has changed. The Wilhelm Arms Group he established has become the largest arms supplier in the Netherlands, the navy and even the army, but around it, there are also a large number of foundries and accessories suppliers.
