"Dear Your Majesty, thank you for your appreciation. We will definitely complete the task you entrusted to us."
Mark Qin was excited. Since the end of the Civil War, he has been employed by the Olympian company in Boston, USA. The royalties brought by the fast fire extinguisher have also allowed him to live a rather prosperous life.
But when a monarch of the great powers personally sent someone to look for him and confessed his admiration for him, the temptation of this kind of social status was indeed too great.
He has been interested in weapons since he was a child. In history, he went to Europe to investigate in 1881, so under various reasons, the famous Maxim machine gun came out.
As for the other two indispensable combinations of machine guns, one is the metal eggshell, and the other is the smokeless gunpowder that makes the world war extremely cruel.
Since the advent of smokeless gunpowder, from the French's first smokeless gunpowder rifle, Lebel 1886, to the later "Mosin Nagan rifle", "Sheffield rifle" and "G98 rifle" The main weapon of the First World War has since then been Start interviewing one by one.
The birth of smokeless gunpowder also ushered in a huge development of artillery. The most advanced Armstrong breech gun in the UK can only shoot 2 shells per minute, and most of the time is used to restore the gun position.
The French M1897 75mm rapid-fire gun, hydraulic short recoil mechanism and copper-skin smokeless gunpowder shells, allow the cannon to fire 15 shells per minute.
As Spain in this period, whether it is rifles, machine guns, artillery, this kind of light military industry can actually be built independently.
What Spain lacked was someone to call their way, and Alfonso's presence just made up for this big shortcoming.
Unlike the excited Maxim, Vieri, this scientist is more rational. Born into the middle class, he is less excited and more rational.
Vieri glanced at the excited Maxim, and then asked Alfonso, "Why does Your Majesty like the two of us so much?"
"Because of you, in Spain, we have just suffered a brutal civil war, we are eager to equip our army with better weapons, and you are the most suitable people I have observed after a long time."
Alfonso didn't have much, with an encouraging smile.
"I am very optimistic about the future of smokeless powder. I think it can replace the use of black powder in warfare, and you happen to be an expert in this area."
"And this Maxim next to you, I think he can make a firearm for firing smokeless powder. You are the best partners."
Alfonso looked a little fanatical. As a military enthusiast in his previous life, he thought that it was indeed a wonderful thing for a world-famous weapon to come into being from him.
"You persuaded me that I will work for you." Vielli's face was inevitably a little excited. As a truly talented person, a Bole in the 19th century was indeed very important.
"I'll work for you too!" Maxim was overwhelmed with joy. As a child of a poor family in America, he expected status and wealth more than anyone else.
"I don't know when His Majesty needs us to start working. I think my partner and I can't wait now." Vieri pointed to Maxim, who was already smiling.
Alfonso also laughed when he saw this.
"I have already arranged accommodation for you in the arsenal on the outskirts of Madrid. I have ordered someone to help you organize your research room. If you have arranged your life, I think you can work at any time."
Alfonso also attaches great importance to the arrival of these two figures. This is an important figure in the Spanish Army who has directly crossed 20 years.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't know what His Majesty's requirements for our work are. We will fulfill His Majesty's wish." Vieri said
In the era of 1875, the Navy did not mention it for the time being. The main combat weapons of the Army were nothing but guns and cannons.
"I also got a cheap and easy-to-use rifle, with a far longer range than the guns currently serving in the military, and a high accuracy.
A gun that can fire countless bullets in an instant, I hope it can have a good suppressing effect on the enemy on the battlefield.
A rapid-fire gun that can fire at a rate of 15 shells per minute and weighs no more than 1.5 tons. "
Alfonso told them according to the requirements of smokeless powder rifle, Maxim machine gun, and Miss 75 rapid-fire gun.
Of course, he also understands that such a requirement must be very strict in this era, but if he does not strictly rely on the natural development, then Alfonso does not need to invite them to work.
"You don't have to be afraid, your research, no matter what you need, financial, human, and material resources, will meet your needs. As a reward, I will set up a machinery company at the original site of the Madrid Arms Factory, and each of you will have a percent of Five shares."
"It's Your Majesty." Vieri and Maxim wanted to refuse, but they gave too much. For those who have no idea, you can think that you have a 5% stake in the Bayi Arms Factory.
"All weapons require smokeless powder to fire, so I hope to see smokeless powder come out first.
I have three design drawings here, as well as some basic research results on smokeless gunpowder." The research results also know that it is nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin and other things are written on it.
And the design drawing directly plagiarized the appearance of Mosin Nagan, Maxim's machine gun, and Miss 75 rapid-fire gun, and put some vaguely remembered points on it. The specific research and the real thing, we have to let these two people go. implement.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations." Mark Qin took the blueprint, glanced at it, and replied.
Alfonso smiled and waved his hand, "There are already people out there who will send you back. Come on, get ready and start early."
The two retreated.
"Howard, help me set up a military industry. The name is Spain's state-owned military manufacturing company. In the future, you will help me manage the business of this company. Now, help these two people to build what I want."
"It's Your Majesty." Howard also left. As an old man who has followed Alfonso for more than ten years, Alfonso naturally knows his abilities. It's just an arms factory, and Howard has no problem.
"Inform Castro, let him start recruiting workers in the military factory among the demobilized soldiers, and the salary will be paid at 1.5 times the average wage." Alfonso asked the messenger to pass the word. Young and strong young people are naturally military factories. Workers' first choice.
Alfonso suddenly had some anticipation. Everyone in the Spanish army was wearing a German 36-type military uniform and an M16-type helmet.
Although Moustache is not good, the army he commands is really handsome.
"Oh, yes, I actually forgot to draw the military uniform and let someone make it." Alfonso patted his head and forgot about this...
