Rise of Australia

Chapter 124 Visiting the Military Factory

In fact, just as those military industry experts expected, the funds for Arthur's reward were very generous, and each of them got a check for two thousand pounds.

Although it also includes outstanding talents and researchers like German experts, their salaries are also very generous, and their annual income is as high as hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

But this does not mean that these people don't like money, let alone the salary that has been paid for several years?
Naturally, the Australian military experts need not say much. Although many of them came to Australia from the UK, their salaries are not very high. The average income is only more than 300 pounds. In other words, it is the income of six or seven years.

In fact, Arthur doesn't have to give so much, and he can give different bonuses to German experts and Australian military experts.

But Arthur didn't do that.First of all, the check of [-] pounds per person is not too much. Even if all the Australian military experts are counted, the reward will not exceed [-] pounds.

Secondly, whether it is German experts or Australian experts, they have put in a lot of effort and painstaking efforts in imitating the M1897 automatic artillery, and it is impossible for Arthur to treat it differently.

Furthermore, these German military experts will return to Germany as soon as the time stipulated in the aid treaty has passed.There are only a handful of people who can continue to work in Australia, or even none directly.

But these Australian experts are different. After they came to Australia from the UK, they can already be regarded as real Australians.

They played for Arthur and Australia, and they are the future hope for the rise of the Australian military industry.

Satisfying them, gaining their allegiance was what Arthur really wanted.After the German military experts leave, these Australian experts are the real pillars of the Australian military industry.

What Arthur now had high hopes for was that these Australian experts could learn something from the German experts.

If we can learn some of the essence of German military industry from German experts, Australia's military industry will have the hope of rising.

After the distributing of checks that made everyone happy, Arthur and the military experts came to the military factory to visit the manufacturing process of the imitation M1897 automatic artillery, and at the same time look at the simple production line that the military experts had produced.

"So now we have fully mastered the imitation technology of this artillery, right? Whether it is its design principle or construction technology, have you fully studied and mastered it?" Listening to the introductions of these experts, After a long time, Arthur asked aloud.

"At present, yes, Your Highness. After dismantling and studying this artillery and its ammunition, we have basically mastered the design principles and construction process of the artillery. The two imitation artillery were built one by one. It is precisely because of this that the imitation artillery can achieve the same output frequency as the original artillery, which is basically the same." The German expert nodded and replied.

Arthur turned his head and looked at the Australian experts. After receiving a definite answer from the Australian experts, Arthur continued to ask: "What is the production speed of this production line now? How long does it take to produce a cannon?"

Now that the principle and construction technology have been fully grasped, and the imitation artillery has been tested, and after confirming that the imitation artillery has no problems in terms of firepower output and stability, the next step must be mass production and deployment of troops.

M1897 automatic artillery is one of the artillery with the most powerful firepower output at present, and it is also the crystallization of French artillery technology.

Arthur would be happy to see the troops equipped earlier, especially under the important joints that the Australian army has just reorganized.

"Your Highness, the current production method requires a lot of manual participation, even a large number of experts. This greatly reduces the production efficiency of the artillery. In order to produce these two artillery pieces, we have used more than ten experts to participate. In this In both cases, it took nearly a week." The German expert explained.

"So if we want to mass-produce artillery, we have to wait until we have established a complete artillery production line. This time will not be too long, but at least it will take about a month."

After hearing the explanation from the German experts, Arthur nodded to express his understanding.

"Is there any room for improvement for this artillery? Can this semi-automatic technology be applied to other artillery?" Arthur asked curiously.

The French are considered to be ahead of the world in automatic artillery technology.Even though many of the military experts in Arthur's military factory came from the UK, the most advanced automatic artillery technology they have mastered is only the CA-37 cannon on the 1mm artillery.

Although this small-caliber automatic artillery has a very fast rate of fire, it can even reach the terrifying sixty rounds per minute at the fastest, that is, one round per second.

But he also has a very big disadvantage, that is, it is only suitable for killing and killing simple defensive facilities and troops, and it is not suitable for capturing cities and fortresses.

This kind of machine gun generally has two important uses. In addition to being used for defensive positional warfare, it is also used to be installed on aircraft that have not yet been born to enhance the lethality in the air.

Arthur's intention is exactly the same. Installing small-caliber machine guns on bombers will become a nightmare for ground troops.

The artillery that can truly equip the army to become a big killer must be a large and medium-caliber artillery.

The power and lethality of large-caliber artillery are not only suitable for defensive position warfare, but also suitable for use in siege.

Perhaps the only thing that can deal with a solid shield like a fortress is a sharp spear like a large-caliber howitzer.

If automatic artillery technology can be applied to medium-caliber or even large-caliber artillery, it will be a huge improvement in the firepower of artillery, and it will also be possible to use fewer artillery to form artillery units with more powerful firepower.

Just imagine, if large-caliber artillery can use automatic artillery technology, ten giant artillery that can fire ten rounds per minute is enough to exert the combined power of dozens of large-caliber artillery.

Not only can fewer artillery units be used to suppress more powerful firepower, but it is also a kind of destruction to the enemy's military spirit and belief.

Now the cost of each artillery is not low, and being able to use fewer artillery to produce more powerful fire suppression is also a financial relief.

These saved military expenses can also be used in other areas, and the purchase of more other equipment can further enhance the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops.
