Rise of Australia

Chapter 126 Royal Security Intelligence Service (please subscribe!)
On June 1902, 6, on this not special day, Arthur and a very mysterious person came to the Guards station quietly, nominally to watch the training of Guards soldiers, but actually The first step is to send people to form a new army.

A new army, but a new organization in charge of intelligence and espionage, the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

Following Arthur was Barty Crouch, the head of the Royal Security Intelligence Service appointed by Arthur himself.

Barty Crouch's identity is quite special, and he is different from Duke Arthur's men before.

Barty Crouch lost his parents when he was young, and was adopted by Duke Arthur at a very young age, and he was trained as one of his right-hand assistants.

The relationship between Barty Crouch and Arthur is also very friendly. Because of his great respect for the old Duke Arthur, Barty Crouch is also 100% loyal to Arthur, and he is definitely a diehard.

Even Barty Crouch's loyalty is comparable to that of the old Hunter butler, and his relationship can even be called the adopted son of the old Duke Arthur.

"Barty, how are you? Is there anyone you like among the soldiers of the Guards?" After watching the training of the Guards for a while, Arthur looked at Barty Crouch with a smile and asked.

"Some guys look good, Your Highness. If you train them well, they should be able to become good seedlings in intelligence and espionage." Barty Crouch nodded and said.

"That's good, Batty. You can choose the soldiers of the Guards as you like, and the same is true for the soldiers of the Australian Army. I hope that the shelf of the Royal Security Intelligence Service can be set up as soon as possible. At least in Oceania and Asia, we should have more Vulgar intelligence capabilities." Arthur nodded and ordered.

As the 20th century entered, espionage and intelligence agencies have also become one of the important means of diplomacy of various countries.

On the bright side, the current European countries are only engaged in an arms race, but behind the scenes, there have been countless exchanges of spies and confrontations between intelligence agencies, and there has been a lot of bloodshed in the dark.

"I understand, Your Highness. These soldiers in the Guards are still in good physical condition. They only need a short period of training before they have the qualifications to become intelligence officers." Barty Crouch nodded and said .

The Royal Australian Security Intelligence Service is the core intelligence agency established by Arthur, and its director, Barty Crouch, is even qualified to arrest cabinet ministers.

Except that the Prime Minister cannot be easily offended, the Royal Australian Security Intelligence Service has the power to arrest any government officials and members of Parliament at any time.

It can be said that the Royal Security Intelligence Service is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all Australian officials, and it is also an important means for Arthur to supervise and balance the government.

And as members of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, they are naturally not ordinary intelligence personnel.

After these soldiers are selected into the Royal Security Intelligence Service, their various identities will be hidden in Australia, and then they will be trained as senior agents to perform any possible tasks.

This is harder than being a soldier, and the risk factor is higher.

Arthur believed in the loyalty of the Guards soldiers, but he also improved the welfare of the Royal Security Intelligence Service personnel.

Not only is the salary much higher than that of ordinary guard soldiers, but if they die in battle, the pension they receive is also an unimaginable number.

I have to say that Barty Crouch is strict in selecting personnel. The Australian Guards is a combination of the original British Empire Guards and the Australian Army after training. The overall quality is definitely much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

However, there are more than 8000 guards plus 7000 Australian Defense Forces, and there are only more than 100 personnel selected to become the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

These soldiers all have a common characteristic, that is, in the case of relatively excellent physical fitness, at the same time their minds are relatively flexible. As the saying goes, well-developed limbs and equally well-developed minds.

These people are also relatively scarce in the army. Although Barty Crouch tried to avoid army officers when selecting candidates, there are still a large number of officers and potential officers.

This has also led to the fact that although the current Royal Australian Security Intelligence Service only has a scale of more than 100 people, these more than 100 people are carefully selected from the Australian army of more than 2 people, even if they are placed in the army. Definitely excellent officer talent and reserves.

Arthur originally thought that the establishment of the Royal Security Intelligence Service had been initially successful, and now he was waiting for the intelligence training of these soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Barty Crouch threw another problem to Arthur, and that was the issue of the use of firearms by these intelligence officers.

Although Australia currently has two types of guns that were world-renowned until World War II, one is the Lee Enfield rifle produced in the United Kingdom, which can be called the strongest rifle in the world today.

The other is the Gew98 rifle produced in Germany, which is the predecessor of the famous 98k rifle.

However, neither of these rifles is very suitable for intelligence personnel, and the barrel is too long to be easily carried.

Barty Crouch's proposal to Arthur is to let the military factory invent a semi-automatic or even fully automatic weapon that is shorter than a rifle but more powerful than a pistol.

To be honest, when Arthur heard Barty Crouch's proposal for the first time, a weapon automatically appeared in his mind, and that was the submachine gun.

The shooting history of submachine guns comes from the middle of World War I. When World War I gradually turned into trench warfare, the armies of various countries discovered that the usual dense formation and group charge in trench warfare would only increase casualties.

In order to break the stalemate of trench warfare, Germany developed an automatic weapon using pistol bullets. It combines the advantages of the automatic rifle's fierce firepower and the pistol's lightness and reliability. , This is the famous MP18 submachine gun.

The MP18 submachine gun uses the principle of a free machine gun, using the same [-]mm Parabellum pistol bullet as the bullet used by the Ruger pistol.

Because it can only shoot fully automatically, the MP18 submachine gun consumes a lot of ammunition. German soldiers also call the MP18 submachine gun "Kugelspritz", which is a bullet injector.

As the world's first real submachine gun, while the MP18 submachine gun has the advantages of both a rifle and a pistol, it also exposes some shortcomings.

The advent of the MP18 submachine gun did not have a decisive impact on the war situation, but its potential potential also attracted the attention of the Allies.

Although the Treaty of Versailles after the defeat prohibited Germany from continuing to manufacture and develop submachine guns, Germany still bypassed the ban on the Treaty of Versailles through various means, and secret research and development work is still in progress.

After World War I, the MP28Ⅱ submachine gun was born soon.As an improved model of the MP18Ⅰ submachine gun, the MP28Ⅱ submachine gun solves one of the biggest shortcomings of the MP18 submachine gun, which is the problem of only fully automatic shooting.

The MP28 submachine gun with the single-shot and burst switching function officially opened the submachine gun flourishing age. In order to avoid the ban related to the Versailles contract, the MP28 submachine gun was transferred to Belgium for production and developed a variety of calibers for export.

The Type 28 submachine gun of the island country and the Lanchester submachine gun of the United Kingdom are imitation MP[-] submachine guns, which is enough to show the improved performance and power of this submachine gun.
