After Qin Tian got engaged to Princess Gundlinde, his life also changed. He no longer devotes all his time and energy to work, and every month he takes time to go to Munich, or Princess Gundlinde to Berlin. They are already engaged, and no one will say anything when they are together.

Of course, young men and women are like dry wood and fire, and it can be ignited at any point. On a night full of moonlight, Qin Tian and Princess Gundlinde merged into one body, making Qin Tian, who has been a human being for two generations, feel the beauty of the love between a man and a woman for the first time. It also made him obsessed for a while.

However, Qin Tian is a person with lofty aspirations after all. Now he not only has to think about his own future, but also the future of his lover. Now, he is a high-ranking crown prince, but once Germany is defeated, he will fall into the sky, and even Princess Gundlinde will be greatly affected by this. Therefore, for the future, he must work harder.

In October 1908, good news came from the Krupp company. They had completed all the development of the 343mm naval gun and could enter mass production. At the same time, the development of the 380mm caliber main gun was officially launched. Next, they will invest heavily in the development of this large-caliber naval gun.

In November, the Deutsche Arms Company, jointly invested by the Deutsche Industries Group and Krupp, achieved success in the light weapons planned by Qin Tian. Semi-automatic rifles, sniper rifles, squad and general-purpose machine guns, as well as mortars and grenades, were developed and tested. This made Qin Tian very satisfied. It is still several years before the war breaks out. If the German Army can start a large-scale refit from now on, and replace all of these new weapons, this will bring the German Army's combat effectiveness to a higher level again. In future wars, the possibility of winning will naturally be greater.

Gustav Krupp specially rushed to Qin Tian's office to discuss the next move.

"His Royal Highness, we have already developed all the weapons you requested to develop. At present, they are undergoing testing. I have asked the experts for their opinions, because the technical difficulty is not that great, so there will be no big problems. .It is estimated that the test can be completed in one month. Then, what should we do next?" Gustav Krupp stared at Qin Tian with burning eyes.

"Mr. Krupp, if there are no problems with the test, then we should sell these weapons to the army in the next step. I think that these weapons with excellent performance should not be too big of a problem if they want to be favored by the army. Go!" Qin Tian said.

"His Royal Highness, the performance of these weapons is indeed very advanced. However, I am afraid that this does not mean that the Army will purchase them." The smile on Gustav Krupp's face faded.

"Oh? Why?" Qin Tian was taken aback. Could it be that the top brass of the Army have water in their heads, instead of purchasing excellent weapons and equipment, they instead purchase weapons with poor performance. Isn't this going to send more soldiers to die on the battlefield? Qin Tian couldn't accept this.

"His Royal Highness, our weapons are advanced in performance, but the cost is a little higher, so the purchase price will be slightly more expensive. In addition, Mauser and Rheinmetall will definitely try to hinder us. They are in the army system. The connections are not weaker than ours." Gustav Krupp had a serious expression on his face.

Qin Tian nodded, he understood what Gustav Krupp meant. Once the products of Deutsche Arms Company are successful, it will undoubtedly further reduce the share of Mauser and Rheinmetall. It will even make the two companies lose money. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for the two companies. Therefore, they will definitely use all their strength to stop the German arms company. Even if Qin Tian's status is noble and the Krupp company is powerful, they cannot make them give up. After all, this is a matter of their life and death.

Krupp's influence in the German Army is indeed great. However, Mauser and Rheinmetall are not bad either. If the two companies unite, they can even compete with Mauser. Therefore, if the German Arms Company wants to succeed, it undoubtedly still has a long way to go.

Even though he knew that the difficulties would be great, Qin Tian would not give up easily. You have already achieved this step, how can you give up halfway? What's more, Qin Tian's actions will certainly affect the interests of some people. However, everything he did was for the German Empire to win wars in the future! Qin Tian has a clear conscience about this. He also believes that other people can understand his painstaking efforts.

"Even so, we can't give up. I believe that we will be able to succeed. How about this, next month, on Christmas Eve, we will hold a new weapon display at the shooting range, and I will find a way to invite His Majesty They will also be present. At that time, all the generals of the army will definitely be present. As long as our weapons can perform well, I believe they will not open their eyes and talk nonsense. As long as an agreement can be reached, Mao No matter how dissatisfied Seer and Rheinmetall are, there is no other way." Qin Tian said.

"This is a way. I will also mobilize the contacts of Krupp to break through the obstacles of Mauser and Rheinmetall. This time, no one can stop us." Gustav Krupp also has the same fighting spirit soaring.

Qin Tian and Gustav Krupp took action immediately. Qin Tian went to the palace and invited William II to attend the new weapon exhibition of the German Arms Company. In this regard, William II stated that he would participate. Although, William II was busy. But he still showed his support for Qin Tian. William II wanted to see what kind of new weapons Qin Tian could bring out this time. With the example of the navy, he is looking forward to Qin Tian more and more. After all, if Germany's military power can be further strengthened, even if a war breaks out in the future, Germany's chances of winning will be even greater.

The Army General Staff, the chief officers and generals of the Ministry of the Army were also invited. Chief of the General Staff Mao Qi, Deputy Chief of the General Staff General Waldsee, Minister of War von Falkenhain, and Minister of the Navy Marshal Count Tirpitz will all participate in this new weapons exhibition. Although they are all big shots, they still want to give Qin Tian face.

Gustav Krupp urged the R&D department to be foolproof this time.
