Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

When it comes to the German Walther pistol, anyone who has a little knowledge of firearms will know it.

The Carl Walter Arms Factory, like other traditional German arms manufacturers, originated in the German state of Thuringia, which established the first firearms industry association as early as 1953. As early as the autumn of 1886, Carl Walter established a small workshop that would later become the Carl Walter Arms Manufacturing Factory.

At the beginning, the workshop was very simple, with only a foot-operated lathe, a vise and a casting furnace. That year, when he was only 28 years old, he started his firearms manufacturing journey with an apprentice.

Carl's greatest interest was the development of automatic pistols, which was an unprecedented new technology at the time. The Walter family has made great contributions in this field, especially Freitz Walter, who has shown extraordinary expertise in this technology. In 1908, they produced the first automatic pistol, the 35mm Walther M1 pistol, which was carried by almost every German officer in World War I. In subsequent years, four other models of automatic pistols similar to the M1 were produced.

World War I played a huge role in promoting the development of Walter Arms Manufacturing Factory, which employed more than 500 people at that time. Karl Walter died in 1915, and his sons inherited his business.

Now the eldest son is sitting in Yannick's office crying about the situation of his company. "We can only make ends meet. If we can't receive any more orders, we may have to declare bankruptcy."

Yannick nodded slowly, indicating that he fully understood. "I want 12% of your company's shares."

"Poof!" The coffee that Walter had just taken into his mouth suddenly spurted back into the coffee cup. If the person opposite was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would have jumped up and cursed immediately. This is Chi Guoguo taking advantage of the situation. "Then what is the price that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to purchase?"

But Yanik's words almost made Walter vomit blood. "I do not have money."

"...!!" He said so confidently even though he had no money. This is not taking advantage of the situation. This is an open robbery. Even the royal family has to abide by the rules of the game. If it is so chaotic, who would dare to invest and do business in Germany? ?

When Walter was full of random thoughts, he saw Yannick picking up a few papers on the table and flicking them. "There are three-point blueprints here. I guarantee that the weapons produced from each blueprint can be sold for more than 500,000 pieces."

"..." Walter, who just felt hot-blooded, suddenly calmed down. "Your Highness, can I see the drawings first?"

"No." Yannick shook his head. "You have to make a decision first. Agree or disagree. If you agree, everyone will be happy. If you don't agree, you can just walk out. Then I will find another arms dealer to cooperate." In some aspects, he does not need anyone to treat him. You are told what to do and all you need is complete obedience. He wants these businessmen to understand that as long as they obey him, they will have meat to eat and soup to drink. If they want to share the meat, just follow him obediently.

This is simply gambling. As Walter wiped the sweat from his forehead, he thought seriously. If he really left like this, he would definitely be resented by the Crown Prince, and the company would really go bankrupt in a few days. That's right, I'm almost going bankrupt and I'm thinking about so much. If I give His Highness the Crown Prince 12% of the shares, then he has to give some orders anyway. If the company has orders, then His Highness will also make a profit. The more orders there are, the greater the profit will be for His Highness, and of course he will make more money.

Thinking of this, Walter nodded heavily. "Your Highness, I agree to exchange 12% of the company's shares for the three drawings."

"I really saw the right person." Yannick said with a smile. "It's a pleasure to deal with smart people, take it."

Walter took the drawing handed over by Yannick with a frustrated face, just glanced at it, and could no longer take his eyes away. "It's so beautiful! Your Royal Highness, who designed these?" This was clearly the work of a master. He had never heard of such an expert in this industry?

Touching his nose, Yannick shamelessly admitted. "I designed it myself, how about it?" In fact, I still feel a little guilty. These designs were developed by Walter Company a few years later. Is he plagiarizing Chi Guoguo?

But this can be regarded as one of the benefits of time travel.

What he gave Walter were the design drawings of the G43 semi-automatic rifle, P38 pistol, and PPK pistol.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the Kar-98K rifle widely installed by the German army was considered to be able to meet the demand. Therefore, the development of semi-automatic rifles lagged behind that of the United States and the Soviet Union. Especially between 1941 and 1942, the standard rifle Kar98k of the German army on the Eastern Front battlefield There was no way it could compete with the Soviet semi-automatic rifles in terms of firepower. The MP-40 submachine gun equipped by the German army was often unable to respond effectively due to insufficient range. Therefore, the agenda of equipping the army with a semi-automatic rifle that could effectively compete with the Soviet SVT-40 rifle was immediately put forward.

In 1941, two major German ordnance companies, Mauser and Walter, launched their respective semi-automatic rifles at almost the same time. However, Mauser's products failed in the competition. The German army decided that Walter would design a new semi-automatic rifle to replace the old one. The K-98 rifle became the standard equipment of the army and was named Gewehr 41 (G41 for short).

As a result, its accuracy, shooting speed, and maneuverability made the German soldiers on the front line give very "high" evaluations: Why is this guy's rate of fire so slow, why is this guy's bullet so difficult to load, and why is this guy's bullet pulled so hard? Two shots, this girl is not oiled...

Because of these overwhelming "good reviews", Mauser 98K, which was originally planned to be further returned or exchanged, continues to be produced, and output and orders are increased.

Until the Soviet Tokarev automatic system was discovered by the Germans and successfully improved. In this way, the G43 was born. It is better to use than the Mauser 98K, and it can shoot farther. It is no worse than the Mauser. More importantly, it can put bullets into the magazine more easily. Just put the magazine in. Enough.

Relying on aerodynamic mechanical devices, its rate of fire is faster than that of the G41, although this is only the shooter's self-perception. But its weight is twice as much.

Walter’s eyes gleamed when he saw it, these pieces of paper were simply treasures! However, he also discovered a strange problem. This PPK, if he understood correctly, should be the abbreviation of "Polizei Pistole Kriminal" criminal police pistol. But what do the numbers in G43 and P38 mean? years? 1843, 1838? 1943, 1938? Immediately, I stopped thinking about this issue. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken a number, just use it.

"How's it going? Is it worth it?"

Worth it, worth it, so worth it. Thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'll go through the formalities and send it to you right away when I get back. "

"That's good." After sending Walter away, he found someone from Mauser Company. However, this negotiation did not go smoothly. The representative of Mauser Company showed a lack of interest. Perhaps due to Yannick's identity as a prince, he did not refuse on the spot, but Yannick could clearly see the disdain in his eyes.
