The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

, the fastest update of War Palace and Knee Pillow, the latest chapter of Austria's Mandate of Destiny!

Vienna, Imperial Garden.

It took a lot of effort for Friedrich to stop Albrecht.

Albrecht obviously didn't include pistols in the guns he was talking about, but Franz was only forced to take advantage of the loopholes, which made him feel very embarrassed.

But Franz was right. Before the revolver appeared, who would have imagined that a firearm with six rounds in five seconds would really appear.

At this time, the Colt revolver can directly achieve continuous shooting without pressing the hammer.

Maybe one day it will appear, a rifle that can shoot repeatedly.

Thinking of this, Albrecht calmed down.

"You mean a breech-loading gun?"

Franz nodded, admiring in his heart.

"Worthy of being a military family, worthy of being a famous general, the reaction speed really far exceeds that of ordinary people in this era."

"The breech-loading gun looks beautiful, but it is expensive, the range is too short, and the accuracy is too poor. The most important thing is that this kind of gun is prone to various accidents, ranging from being burned by gunpowder to the face. lethal."

Albrecht's words contained the shortcomings of a breech-loading gun.

First of all, it is expensive. The price of a breech-loading gun is almost three times that of a front-loading gun. For a huge organization like the Austrian Army, the funds required to update equipment are even greater.

The breech-loading gun had a range of only 400 yards, while the main Austrian musket at this time had a range of 1,000 yards.

Since the Minie bullet had not yet been invented, the accuracy of breech-loading guns at this time was not as high as imagined by later generations. On the contrary, jamming often occurred due to the problem of bullets.

As for the accident, the most serious problem is the airtightness. The gunpowder burns rapidly in the barrel, and the scorching gas is sprayed from the gap in the breech to the shooter's face, leaving a very painful memory for the shooter.

So much so that test shooters are reluctant to operate this weapon, and many generals think that breech-loading guns are a cheap weapon.

"Noble guns should eat with their mouths, and guns that eat with their **** are humble." This was the consensus of the European military circles at this time.

"Uncle Albrecht, believe me, technology will definitely improve. Just leave the breech-loading gun to me. I plan to build an arsenal. Are you interested in taking a stake?" Franz asked.

"Investing in shares, are you short of money?" Albrecht casually took out a check and filled in the amount of 100,000 florins.

At this time, the maximum denomination of checks was 100,000 florins, and only two banks in the Austrian Empire had such checks, one was the Rothschild Bank and the other was the Austrian Imperial Chartered Bank.

And one hundred thousand florins is definitely not a small number, it is about 1,000 years' wages of an ordinary soldier. (*500 is almost the current value.)

Franz's annuity is 12,000 florins, which is the highest in the entire royal family except the emperor himself, followed by his father and Grand Duke Louis at 10,000 florins, and his mother's only 5,000 florins.

This money was nothing to Albrecht, after all, his father was the richest nobleman in the Austrian Empire.

But Franz didn't ask him for money, but wanted to protect the breech-loading gun as a secret weapon.

After all, Franz couldn't tell them that there would be a storm sweeping across Europe in 1848, and the center of that storm was the Austrian Empire.

As far as Franz knew, there were massive rebellions throughout the Austrian Empire, except in Tyrol and Galicia.

And Franz, who has lived in Vienna for many years, knows how strong this city is. Let alone a large number of military facilities and forts, there are 8,000 military policemen, 20,000 city defense troops, and 1-2 army troops living in the city. Stationed around the city, take turns guarding the city.

Such a city would fall, no doubt a traitor in the army, and who was the traitor? How many people will rebel, Franz is not clear.

But he knew very well that Albrecht and Friedrich in front of him would never participate in the rebellion.

Albrecht was an out-and-out conservative. Although Friedrich had liberal ideas, he looked down on those liberals, let alone directly participated in the rebellion.

Although the breech gun is a great advancement in the history of rifles, it does not actually have too high technical barriers. Perhaps countries such as Chenla and Vietnam cannot imitate it, but even small countries like Sardinia and Serbia in Europe can easily create it as long as they are willing to invest manpower and material resources.

So Franz hopes to use the breech-loading gun as a secret weapon, as a killer weapon at critical moments, and now he needs some people he can absolutely trust, such as the pair of brothers in front of him.

Although Franz was not without money, he still pocketed the money quickly.

"Uncle Albrecht, in fact, Grandpa Karl has already supported me in terms of funds. I will treat the 100,000 florins as an additional investment."

Albrecht and Friedrich didn't care about Franz's blatant misappropriation of money. It might be better to say that the family's attitude towards money is very indifferent.

"Frantz, how do you want us to invest?" Albrecht asked.

"Could it be that my elder brother and I will hold billboards and stand on the streets of Vienna to help you shout? I think your two nannies are more suitable." Friedrich said nonchalantly.

Albrecht punched Friedrich in the head again.

"Miss Adjani is Franz's attendant, and Miss Thalia is Franz's first teacher, you boy, show some respect." Although Albrecht looked rough, he paid great attention to etiquette.

Friedrich looked very unconvinced. Of course, he would not continue to contradict his elder brother. After all, he knew very well that "a good man does not suffer from immediate losses", so he just said.

"Frantz, don't be so secretive. What do you want us to do?"

"I need you to keep this a secret and continue to oppose breech-loading guns in public."

"Why?!" The two brothers asked in unison.

They all feel that if it is an advanced weapon, it can only gain the greatest value if it is fully promoted in the Austrian Empire.

Of course, Franz couldn't tell them that there would be a major rebellion in a few years, and the entire Austrian Empire would be as chaotic as Werewolf Killing and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

"Because this is a secret weapon! Of course, it must be used by the trump card in order to maximize its value. And it is also necessary to prevent other countries from imitating it, which will adversely affect our country."

"The breech-loading gun is nothing new~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ The British made it, and the Americans are also making it, so it can't be hidden." Friedrich said disdainfully.

"No, the breech-loading gun Franz is talking about is not the British or American type, but a breech-loading gun with no obvious defects. Although the current rate of fire of breech-loading guns is not as high as 3 rounds in 10 seconds, but maybe it can be done after long-term training.” Albrecht said.

At this time, the rate of fire of breech-loading guns is generally 4-5 rounds, and skilled shooters can shoot 7-8 rounds. Of course, the rate of fire of breech-loading guns will become faster and faster as they progress.

"Yes, I hope our weapons can crush the weapons used by the enemy. Although the spirit of fair competition is admirable, it does not belong to war. For war, only victory is the only purpose." Franz said.

"Bullying? I like it!" Friedrich said.

Albrecht nodded noncommittally.
