Chapter 385: Patricia is Here Too

by karlmaks — "Boom!" As the last 50mm shell burst from the barrel, the steel target representing an enemy armored unit in the distance was instantly pierced through. "This is the aesthetic of heavy firepower... Tsk, but 50mm can only be considered a small water pipe." Morin looked highly excited. He even felt the 50mm caliber could no longer satisfy him. A gun barrel... must be thick, must be long! Hurry up and serve the 75mm, 88mm, 128mm, and 170mm! Of course, Morin was just thinking about it now. He…

Chapter 384: What ‘Nude Floating’…

by karlmaks — The massive elevator slowly ascended to the clattering of gears, carrying Morin and Leonia to the Armored Knight's chest cockpit, situated over five meters above the ground. Standing behind Leonia, Morin couldn't help but notice her explosive body lines, poorly concealed even by her knight's uniform. "As a prototype, the environment might be a bit rough... don't mind it," Leonia remarked over her shoulder as the elevator stopped before the open cockpit hatch. "I don't mind! Not at all!!!" Morin…

Chapter 383: Naval Contingency Plans and the “Valkyrie”

by karlmaks — The night was as black as ink, enveloping the Admiralty building in Dresden. This structure, a symbol of the Saxon Empire's naval ambitions, lay dormant in the darkness like a giant beast, with only a single window on the top floor emitting a dim yellow light. Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz stood before the massive chart table. The cigar in his hand had burned down to the nub, but he seemed entirely oblivious. He had just ordered his adjutant to summon the staff officers of the Operations…

Chapter 382: The Admiral’s Resolve

by karlmaks — The black car sped smoothly through the empty streets of Dresden, like a silent fish darting through the sea. The mottled light and shadows from the streetlamps outside rhythmically swept across Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz’s wrinkled face, flickering on and off, mirroring his current dark and uncertain mood. Tirpitz leaned back against the soft seat, his eyes—usually as sharp as a falcon's—half-closed, his fingers unconsciously tapping on his knee. The clamor of the dinner party had…

Chapter 381: Background Check and the D7 Prototype Chassis

by karlmaks — The black staff car drove steadily through the evening streets of Dresden. The dim light of the streetlamps flashed past the windows, illuminating the thoughtful faces of the two Imperial Army giants in the backseat. Moltke the Younger was not in a hurry to break the silence. He was still savoring the look in that young Lieutenant Colonel's eyes at the final moment. It was a look he was very familiar with, one that could only be seen in the eyes of the purest professional soldiers—devoid of a…

Chapter 380: Lieutenant Colonel Morin, Who Is Not Interested in Politics

by karlmaks — The air in the private room seemed to freeze for a few seconds because of Morin's words. Grand Admiral Tirpitz's eyes, hidden beneath his thick eyebrows, remained locked onto Morin, as if trying to find even the slightest hint of flippancy or offense toward the naval profession on the face of this young Army Lieutenant Colonel. Everyone present knew very well that although the Navy and the Army both belonged to the Empire's armed forces, they had always been two parallel lines in terms of strategic…

Chapter 379: The Hard-to-Hold-Back Empire

by karlmaks — Captain Mayr and the others from the Ministry of War's Propaganda Department ultimately left clutching that notebook as if they had found a precious treasure. The ideas Morin had just eloquently proposed were highly novel to these propaganda officers. Moreover, they found that Morin had practically written the entire script for them. They only needed to tweak the details and dialogue themselves before putting it to use. This also made these propaganda officers look at Morin with even more…

Chapter 378: Morin: No, Must Not Laugh Yet

by karlmaks — When Morin uttered the sentence "The Britannians will strike before we do," a momentary silence fell over the conference room. Moltke the Younger and the generals quickly exchanged glances. Those looks contained obvious surprise, but Morin wasn't sure what they were surprised about. After all, in his view, this shift in the situation wasn't hard to deduce. The intentions of the Britannians should be obvious to everyone. "The Britannians will strike first..." Major Nicolai of the General Staff's…

Chapter 377: Discharged! Returning Like Lightning!

by karlmaks — For Morin, something like a half-track was like a pizza with pineapple—heresy in the eyes of some, but a life-saving delicacy when you're starving. In a sense, something like a half-track is an out-and-out compromise. In Morin's original world, this kind of vehicle rapidly exited the stage of history after WWII, replaced by fully tracked armored personnel carriers and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. The reason was simple—given sufficient industrial foundation and materials science, it had…

Chapter 376: A Hundred Flowers Bloom

by karlmaks — "The Krupp factory at this point in time is still explosive; they actually managed to produce it..." Morin looked at some of the main data in the letter, unable to help but sigh in a low voice. 50mm caliber, 60 calibers long barrel, 835 m/s muzzle velocity... and the armor-piercing capped (APC) shell technology Krupp poached from their own Naval Weapons R&D Department. If Morin remembered correctly, the Great Brit should have started R&D on APC shells in 1908, and the navies of the Second…
