Chapter 21
Kuster ordered the soldiers guarding the warehouse to open the door and let the workers break the seals on the weapons boxes.
The new weapons were so secretive that workers didn't realize they had made them until they took them apart.
Transportation capabilities were poor in this era, so they had to use livestock to transport their weapons boxes.
After loading almost eight weapon boxes, Kuster called various military factories. Order them to quickly transport the results of the past few days.
Almost 5 minutes later, he had an accurate shipping list.
Firearms and weapons: 40 semi-automatic rifles, 4,000 rounds of 8×50mm rifle ammunition; 5 submachine guns, 2,500 rounds of pistol ammunition; 1 machine gun, independently transported 1,000 rounds of rifle ammunition.
Support weapons: 1 mortar and 50 artillery shells; 300 wooden handle grenades.
The rocket launcher was not shipped immediately at Kuster's request, but was sent when the other weapons were almost finished being displayed. Kuster would try to stall for as long as possible so they could produce another rocket or two.
After making sure the information was accurate, Kuster found his horse. He galloped towards the north of the city, riding his horse and whipping his whip.
But before walking 200m, we met the emperor's motorcade. Kuster did not dare to surpass them, so he followed quietly.
But this could not escape the emperor's eyes. He hooked his hand and motioned for Kuster to come over.
When Kuster came closer, he asked:
"General Kuster, what do you have to display in the wild? Even heavy artillery is impossible for you to make."
"My Majesty the Emperor, I do not have the ability to make heavy artillery." Kuster said respectfully and mysteriously:
"But I have created a large weapon that is more powerful than heavy artillery and cheaper. It is very suitable for our current military situation. There are also various light weapons. I can guarantee that they are definitely better than the firearms we use now. a lot of."
These words attracted the attention of several nobles, and the emperor also looked at him curiously.
"I'm serious. Whether it's the Germans or the British, their weapons are not as powerful as mine. Not to mention the Russians. And with their broken transportation system, even if excellent firearms are manufactured, the front-line The Russian army is not equipped either.”
Kuster's confident words surprised everyone. The emperor also focused his eyes closely on him:
"Oh? Then I have to take a closer look.
Okay, you go to work. Don't take my thoughts into account, that will only make you more cowardly. "
Custer saluted the emperor solemnly, then rode off.
After arriving at the place, Kuster asked people to set up targets. At the same time, someone put up a flag to attract the attention of the emperor and the transportation team.
Soon, Fox arrived here with a lot of weapons and equipment, as well as a telephone station.
This made Kuster relax a little. The convoy arrived before the emperor, which could delay some time.
Soon, the emperor and others also arrived. Kuster also began to demonstrate weapons.
He took out a shiny semi-automatic rifle from the weapon box. This gun looked a bit like a G41. He fiddled with it a few times. Then he said to everyone:
"Gentlemen, have you seen this gun in my hand? You may think it is ordinary. But there is something very special about it. I can show it to you."
After saying that, Kuster quickly turned around and raised his gun skillfully. Aim at a target and pull the trigger. The target fell to the ground. Before everyone could see his movements clearly, there were several violent gunshots and the sound of targets hitting the ground.
10 gunshots were fired in a row, and 10 targets fell outside the venue. Kuster asked the soldiers to lift the target.
When he turned around, he saw everyone looking at him in surprise. The emperor also opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time.
Kuster wanted to buy time, so he naturally followed their reactions without saying a word.
Fox looked at Kuster with admiration, clapped his hands, and shouted:
"As expected of a battle-hardened general, his marksmanship is beyond my reach. The creativity is also very good, but I have never seen a rifle that can fire continuously! Once we have these, we will definitely beat the crap out of the Russians."
Only then did everyone react and applauded enthusiastically. The emperor also stared at Kuster with gleaming eyes.
Amid the applause, Kuster glanced disapprovingly at Fox. But soon he took out a black submachine gun, similar to an MP-40.
He held up his submachine gun and showed it to everyone, and at the same time said to them:
"This thing is very good, its recoil is very low, and it can be used by the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled."
Without giving everyone a chance to speak, he turned around again and prepared to shoot. At this time everyone focused their attention. But some people pay attention to Kuster's elbow, and some people pay attention to the target.
Suddenly, Kuster pressed the trigger, and fierce flames continued to burst out of the barrel.
Everyone was stunned, not only the firearms used by Kuster were extremely powerful. Also, his pressure gun was very steady, and he didn't even move his elbow.
At this time the emperor came over and said to Kuster:
"Since the elderly can use it, I really want to try it. So that I can experience the pleasure my children will have when they use these weapons to kill Russians."
The emperor's words made Custer very happy. However, he still thought about it and finally handed the submachine gun to the emperor.
The emperor took the gun, raised it without hesitation, and shot towards the shooting range.
However, because his gun-raising posture was not standard and he was old and frail, he was shocked and took a few steps back. The guards in the crowd also quickly pulled him up.
Regardless of the unbearable situation just now, the emperor laughed heartily:
"Good! What a nice gun. My general, how many of these guns do you have in your inventory?"
Kuster responded respectfully:
"I have a total of 10,000 rifles just shown, 400 of this submachine gun, and 20 machine guns."
"Oh? You still have a machine gun! Bring it over and show it to me." The emperor's smile grew brighter after listening to Kuster's words. When he heard that Kuster still had a machine gun, his face became even more delighted, and he quickly asked him to bring it over.
Kuster bent down and lifted a machine gun with a tripod from the weapons box. The emperor walked up and down, looked carefully and said:
"Huh? This machine gun seems to be missing something."
"Yes, I removed the water-cooling device that is usually installed on the machine gun. This makes it less bulky than ordinary machine guns. Our soldiers can even stand up and shoot with it. If your Majesty wants to know its function, then I need the help of a guard."
The emperor then signaled a guard to come over, took the machine gun, and waited for orders.
"My child, now unfold the tripod under it and support it on the ground."
Konoe did as he was told and quickly dropped to the ground.
"Do you see the seven targets in front of you? Fire and shoot. Don't stop."
Then, everyone was shocked to see: the machine gun was blazing crazily and spraying fire at the target in the distance. This fierce firepower was difficult to describe in words.
And the sound was like the ruthlessness of tearing linen, the cruelty of sawing oak trees, and it continued to reach everyone's ears.
Everyone was deeply shocked by this machine gun. Even Kuster closed his eyes tightly and was immersed in the violent gunfire.
After a while, the emperor touched Kuster nervously. Pointing at the smoking barrel, he was speechless in horror. The guard holding the machine gun was also trembling.
Kuster did not stop the machine gun from firing, but paid attention to the ammunition supply of the ammunition belt to avoid a sudden ceasefire.
Finally, the fierce roar of the machine gun stopped. Kuster asked the guard to stand up while he put on thick gloves.
He asked the guards to come over and pulled out the barrel of the machine gun with his hands.
The barrel of the gun was red as if it had been burned by fire. As it approached, the emperor stepped back in fright.
Kuster threw away the barrel, took out a brand new barrel from the weapon box, and stuffed it back into the machine gun.
He spread his hands and said to everyone:
"Did you see that, although this machine gun does not use a water-cooling device, it can replace the barrel."
Then, Kuster took out a drum magazine and loaded it on the machine gun, then put his hand on the guard and said to him:
"Put the tripod away. Put the machine gun to your waist and try to shoot."
After hearing this, the crowd became a little restless. One person accused Kuster and said:
"You're committing murder! No one can lift a machine gun and still shoot it."
But after seeing Kuster's sharp eyes, the man didn't dare to speak. He turned around and said to Konoe with a gentle face:
"Don't worry, my boy. As long as you have received good military training, you are capable of lifting it and shooting."
Konoe glanced at Kuster, nodded, and took another deep breath.
Then he immediately stood up and raised the machine gun. Roaring while pulling the trigger.
His roar was quickly responded to - the machine gun in his hand also vented, and it was louder than his voice.
After almost 50 rounds were fired, the gunfire suddenly stopped. He turned around cautiously, revealing his flushed face.
Seeing everyone's silence, Kuster smiled. While asking the guards to retreat, he said to everyone:
"Don't be shocked by the machine gun, I have something even more shocking."
After saying that, he gave Fox a look. Fox also understood it, raised the phone he prepared in advance, and started talking to someone.
