Liu Chuan had successfully invested in Krupp, even though he only had 30% of the shares. However, with his status as the emperor, it was enough to have a huge impact on Krupp.
Once a war broke out in the future, Krupp would definitely be able to get a large number of orders. This also meant that they would earn a lot of profits. With these shares, Liu Chuan could naturally earn a lot of money.
Of course, earning money was just a side effect. Liu Chuan's real goal was to influence Krupp and let Krupp develop according to his own wishes.
After all, Krupp was the military giant of the Germanic Empire. Whether it was technical reserves or research and development capabilities, they were the strongest in the entire Germanic Empire. There were too many new weapons that needed to be developed by Krupp. Only in this way could the German Empire's army become even stronger.
Liu Chuan could also make use of this huge BUG to reduce the number of detours that the German Empire would take in their future weapons and equipment.
"Miss Krupp, I will provide as much support as possible for Krupp Company. However, Krupp was an arms giant with too many companies under its jurisdiction. It's too difficult for you to handle so many companies. I remember that my father once introduced you to a diplomat named Gustav. How was your discussion? If you and Gustav can get married, then he can share a lot of pressure for you!”Liu Chuan said.
With Krupp's position in the Germanic Empire, no one wanted to see this arms giant collapse. After Alfred Krupp's death, William II was worried that Bertkrupp did not have the ability to control the Krupp company, so he specially chose a marriage partner for her. And this person was a diplomat named Gustav. In another time and space, he married into the Krupp family and further created the glory of the Krupp family.
"Your Majesty, Gustav and I get along very well. It's just that we're all busy and don't have many opportunities to meet. Perhaps, it won't be long before we can invite His Majesty to our wedding!”said Betta Gustav.
"Very good, then I look forward to this day.”Liu Chuan was very happy.
He believed that when Gustav married into the Krupp family and took control of the Krupp company, the firearms giant would develop even faster and become stronger. This would also be very beneficial to the German Empire.
"Oh right, Miss Krupp, here are the design drawings of a few cannons. They are all cannons with low technical content. I hope that Krupp can develop it within a month. At that time, I will organize the army generals to come and observe. If he could convince them, Krupp would receive a large order.”After Liu Chuan finished speaking, he took out a few design drawings from the drawer and handed them to Betta Krupp.
Bertkrupp took a look at the cannons. They were all very small. They were all long tubes that were connected to a base and a tripod. One of the cannons was especially small, like a small tube.
What Liu Chuan gave to Betakrupp was the grenade launcher and mortar that he had designed. Among them, mortars were divided into 60mm light mortars. 80mm medium mortar and 120mm heavy mortar.
In Liu Chuan's plan, the grenade launchers and mortars would be the most important support firepower for the future infantry squads, platoons, companies, and battalions of the German Empire's army.
Now, the battalion-level troops of the German Empire were equipped with rapid-fire cannons of various calibers. Although the firepower was very powerful and the power was not bad. However, on one hand, it was too heavy. On the other hand, these cannons could only shoot straight and not in a curved direction. It was extremely difficult to attack the targets hiding in the trenches.
However, mortars were different. They were very light and could move with the attacking troops. The curved trajectory could directly hit the enemy hiding in the trenches, causing greater damage to the enemy.
The grenade launcher was even more so. Although the grenade it fired was not very powerful, it was light! An ordinary soldier could easily carry a grenade launcher and several grenades while carrying a rifle.
If the other soldiers were to carry a few grenades, they would be able to escape. Then, it would be enough to deal with a high-intensity battle.
In battle, although the grenade launcher's range was not very far, its power was not very great. However, the fast firing speed could directly provide an extremely powerful fire support for the infantry. Once it was used on the battlefield, it would further strengthen the firepower of the German Empire's army.
With the addition of mortars of various calibers, the infantry support firepower of the German Empire's army could definitely become the world's number one. In the future war, it would make the enemies of the empire tremble in fear.
