1855 United States Tycoon

As Yang Tai said, Heishui just sent a small team to Austria. Responsible for exchanging experience with the Austrian army in combat using breech guns. To say that Heishui and Austria are actually enemies. It is Heishui’s people, the Italians with the breech guns, who beat the Austrians and make Austria lose control of Italy. However, as the British Prime Minister Palmerston said, there are "no permanent friends, only permanent interests" in this world. For the benefit, the original allies can immediately turn against each other and become enemies, and the original enemies can immediately become comrades in the same trench. For the McDonald Group, this is even more true. As long as you are willing to put out those cute little money, all past grievances will not be a problem.

For Austria, now he is also facing tremendous pressure. Those damn Prussian barbarians, relying on the backing of the British, willing to be the sticks of the British, European dung sticks, go around fooling around. The Sacred Roman Empire’s orthodox Habsburg is becoming less and less to put in one’s eyes. Of course, the Sacred Roman Empire is neither Sacred nor Rome, nor is the orthodoxy of the empire. It is not great at all, but it is also orthodox at any rate. Are those Prussian barbarians comparable to it?

However, the Prussian barbarians in the north have developed very rapidly in recent years. They have learned from the British in an all-round way. After the Seven Years' War almost died, they have re-developed following the British example. They learned from Britain, built a large number of factories, built a large number of railways, and set up a large number of schools, and their national strength was flourishing. So these damn barbarians have built stronger and stronger armies and behaved more and more aggressively.

In the last war with the Italians, the Austrians suffered from the hardship of rear-mounted rifles. MacDonald’s 1857 rifle volley became a nightmare for many Austrians who participated in this battle. Today, various situations show that the Prussians have been fully equipped with rear-mounted rifles, and they are still the most advanced model that uses smokeless propellant. At this time, more than half of the Austrian army was using old-fashioned front-loading guns.

The French pirated MacDonald 1857, but the Austrians could buy this weapon from them. However, without Napoleon's territory, Napoleon, who wanted to do Napoleon's welfare in the countryside, was short of money, so he opened a big mouth to Habsburg. Their asking price is actually much more expensive than the original MacDonald 1857. Of course, the French said that their craftsmanship is far better than that of the United States guys, so the performance of their rifles far exceeds those of the United States wild men. However, according to the Austrian own comparative test, there is really no difference in performance between these two guns.

However, if the junior is short of money, Habsburg is also short of money. After losing the war and losing Italy, Habsburg's finances are equally disregarded. Fortunately, God bless, the United States Civil War is over. As soon as the United States Civil War is over, the United States government quickly cut off more than half of the army in order to save the government money. Hundreds of thousands of original Macdonald 1857 or Springfield copy of Macdonald 1857 that were originally in the hands of hundreds of thousands of troops were immediately superfluous. So the United States government began to sell these Macdonalds 1857 to the entire world market at very low prices. This immediately solved Habsburg's urgent need. What's more lovely is that the United States government also stated that as long as the purchase quantity is large, they can also allow Austrians to pay in installments. So Austria bought 400,000 old rifles from United States at lightning speed, which made the minds think about killing the Austrians and take Xiao Sankong with joy.

The Austrians originally thought that by this, the weapon gap between them and the Prussians no longer existed, but half a year ago, they learned that those Prussian barbarians had received updated use of smokeless propellant from the damned United States. Equipped with a magazine, it can be loaded with five bullets at a time, and has a longer range and higher shooting accuracy.

In the original history, the Austrians were not particularly concerned about weapons. In their view, it was the command, not the weapons, that determined the outcome. However, after being taught a lesson with a new-style rifle in Italy, the current Austrians have gone to another extreme, that is, the degree of trapping of weapons is particularly important.So, the Austrians forgot their hatred of the MacDonald Consortium for ruining their good things in Italy, and sent people to purchase the MacDonald 1864 rifles from the MacDonald Consortium, and offered to hire Blackwater personnel to communicate with them. Experience in musket combat.

It’s also fun to say. After the Austrian representative Fritz and his assistants checked into the Royal Rose Hotel in Cleveland, they found that they were on a dining table not far away. Several people were talking in German. After listening carefully, they discovered that these German-speaking guys were actually business representatives sent by the Prussian barbarians. Then Fritz, who paid close attention, discovered that the damn Prussian barbarians lived next to own.

It's really bad luck to bump into these damn guys! Fritz wanted to change a hotel at that time, but think about it, if you change a hotel, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of the Prussian barbarians? If you want to go, you should also let those Prussian barbarians go! So Fritz decided that he must overwhelm the opponent in momentum and let the other party get out. Well, after that, Fritz always looked for opportunities to roll his eyes at those guys and say weird things. The Prussians didn't understand what was going on at first, but after they figured out the situation, they also drew according to Calabash. Diao's fight with Fritz. Of course, barbarians are barbarians, they have no ability to innovate at all, and all the tricks Fritz used. However, the barbarian still has one advantage over an orthodox nobleman like Fritz, that is, the barbarian has a particularly thick skin, and in any case, he refuses to admit defeat and move away. And their unexpected encounter made both Fritz and the damned barbarians feel the urgency of fulfilling their own mission, so in the negotiations with the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company, more and more Many showed sincerity and flexibility...

In fact, in later generations, similar stories also happened in the rabbit country. It was during the Iran-Iraq War. The two sides were able to fight vigorously. They fought and found that the artillery shells were not enough. Well, you have to understand that no matter which side they are, their military industry is scum, and they can't play such a tall thing as cannonballs, so they started to inquire everywhere, which is the best 152 cannonball. Of course, after repeated comparative studies, they came to the same conclusion, that is: Which one is the strongest 152 shells? Look for rabbits in the east of Asia. So their representatives all found the harmless little white rabbits who love peace and planned to purchase a batch of 152 shells back. Then, the rabbit arranged for them to live in the same guest house and let them get along day and night. Then, they got fucked all over the place. The rabbit saw a lot of really sweet little money.

Finally, Fritz and McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company signed a major contract for the purchase of 20,000 McDonald’s 1864 rifles, 15 million rounds of ammunition, and 20,000 defensive grenades. As a subsidiary part of the contract, McDonald’s promised to send professionals from Bang nationality to complete the dress-up training. So a team of advisors from Blackwater followed the previous pair of advisors sent to Prussia and set foot on the European continent.

The chief adviser of the advisory group sent to Austria was the former U.S. Lieutenant Mike Pace, who was a combat hero who emerged from the Cleveland Volunteer Corps during the Civil War. After the war, he withdrew from the army and returned to the Blackwater Company. Was promoted to middle-level cadres. Became the chief consultant of this advisory group.

In August 1865, McPerth came to Austria with the weapons ordered by the Austrians.

Then I plunged into intense preparations.

"Scrooge, I have a question I want to discuss with you." Rockefeller said.

Just a few days ago, Rockefeller decided to cooperate with Scrooge in the second way, and then followed Scrooge to a large laboratory and saw various power machines under development with his own eyes. This makes his enthusiasm for work also greatly ascending. Today, he and Scrooge came to a research institute of the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company to examine the progress of some research projects. While watching the progress of various research projects, the two discussed the situation in Europe.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Scrooge said.

"We have discussed before that Prussia's victory is better for us, right?" Rockefeller asked.

"Yeah. Because Prussia's development model is too similar to Britain, and the British model is built on the premise of continuous expansion, so the victory of Prussia means that there is one war after another. Doesn't it?"

"Of course it's right. It's just that we sold so many weapons to the Austrians, shouldn't it affect Prussia's victory? And if Prussia is a so-called tragic victory, they may not expand so quickly if they lose too much." Rockefeller Said worriedly.

"No problem. Although we sell a lot of things to Austria, there is one thing we only gave to Prussia, but not to Austria. It is shortwave radio. If they had this, they would not be able to beat Austria. People, then you can only say that those Prussians are too useless..."

At this time, a researcher came over to Scrooge and said, "Mr. MacDonald, the test of the body armor is ready. Are you going to check it out?"

"Very good." Scrooge said, "John, let's go and see, this thing is related to our safety."

Of course, in this year and month, there must be no Kevlar fiber. So the so-called body armor is actually a set of overweight metal armor. The bulletproof vest placed in front of Scrooge looks like a cavalry breastplate

, It’s just that a layer of cloth is wrapped on the outside of the metal shell, and there are rows of long pockets on the outside of this layer of cloth.

"Can this thing block bullets?" Rockefeller asked.

"Can block pistol bullets."

"Then what if the assassin uses a rifle?"

"It can be blocked by inserting steel plates in those pockets," the researcher replied.

"How heavy is this thing after it's filled with steel plates?" Rockefeller then asked.

"Almost fifty kilograms," the researcher replied.

"Then I can't wear this." Rockefeller looked at Scrooge, shook his head, and said, "Scrooge, I don't think you can wear it either."

"This thing is not for us to wear." Scrooge said, "this is for bodyguards who specialize in serving as bullets for us. Soon we are about to start a complete strangulation of steel and oil companies. At that time, I think There are not too many people who want to trouble us with the MacDonald 1857 precision shooting version. We have to find a few big guys, preferably a guy with a height of 8 feet and a waist circumference of 8 feet, put on this thing and follow By our side, be bullets for us at any time. Well, what do you think of this idea?"
