The Rise of Australia

Extreme chaos will naturally give birth to careerists, not to mention that the chaos in Germany has lasted for too long. ♤

1. The famous Adolf Hitler gave a speech through the "Volkswagen Observer" newspaper.

This speech severely criticized the government's incompetence, and said that it was precisely because the government accepted the war reparations from the Versailles Treaty and various post-war measures that Germany experienced all this.

Hitler directly stated that it was precisely because the military government destroyed everything in Germany that the great German nation suffered humiliation that it should not have to endure.

At the end of his speech, Hitler also stated that he would establish an order where every household in Germany would have milk and bread on the table, so that the Germans would once again stand on top of the world.

If it had been just after the First World War, Hitler's statement would not have received much recognition. Instead, he would have been considered a madman and a fool.

But now that Germany is suffering from economic crisis and post-war hardships, Hitler's various speeches have instantly attracted many Germans, and these people regard Hitler's words as holy words.

In fact, Hitler at this time was no longer the little corporal he had been during World War I. The political party owned by Hitler has become one of the largest parties in Germany, and the SA he founded has an armed force of hundreds of thousands of members.

If you had to choose a person who was most likely to subvert the rule of the German government, then the most likely candidate at this moment could only be Hitler.

For this figure who is gradually rising in German politics, whether it is Wilhelm II or President Hindenburg, they must be paying attention to Hitler.

However, Wilhelm II no longer fought for power, and the government's say naturally fell into the hands of President Hindenburg.

President Hindenburg, a former corporal, did not have any good impressions, and even quietly commented that Hitler could only be a post minister at best.

This is actually quite normal, because compared to President Hindenburg’s noble background as a Juncker, Hitler’s background was just a civilian, and his highest military rank was only a corporal.

Moreover, Hitler's actions in the political arena were too extreme, even more extreme than a military government, and were not necessarily a good thing for Germany.

Hitler's extremes were exposed, and other parties and officials in German politics could naturally feel them.

In order to prevent such an extreme person from taking power in Germany, many German government officials and political parties united to oppose Hitler's entry into the government, and the parties that opposed Hitler controlled the right to speak in Congress.

Before the economic crisis, these coalitions of parties and officials were very effective. Because Hitler was not able to seduce the majority of the German people, the German government still had great control over areas other than the states.

But the economic crisis started and everything changed. Not only the states, but also some areas far away from the imperial government are gradually breaking away from the government's rule.

This kind of separation does not mean that they want to be independent, but that the government's influence is relatively low and these regions have a greater say.

The good news is that although the current Germany is very different from that in history, the supreme ruler of the national government, the position called the president, also has a seven-year term.

This was not abolished just because Wilhelm II continued to be crowned Emperor of Germany, which was also the reason for the chaos in German politics.

The president, who served a seven-year term, was not directly responsible to the emperor but to the German parliament.

The German Parliament is directly elected by the German people. Political parties with parliamentary seats nominate presidential candidates, and the final president is ultimately selected through parliamentary elections. ♧

The entire process had almost nothing to do with the emperor. This was also the French way to limit the power of the German emperor to the greatest extent.

Precisely because the presidential term lasts for seven years, President Guintenberg had to wait until 1932 when his term expired.

This also means that at least for a few years, there is no need to worry about Hitler moving to the highest position.

However, no one is sure whether an accident will happen. Just from the crazy devaluation of the mark, it is certain that German politics is not as stable as it seems.

The changes in the world situation attracted Arthur's great attention, and Australasia also embarked on a new round of armaments transformation journey.

I have to admit that a considerable amount of weapons and equipment were still used during World War I, and more than ten years have passed since then.

Although the Lee-Enfield rifle was used for decades, it was frequently used even in the late World War II.

If a more advanced rifle could replace the Lee-Enfield rifle, it would be a way for Arthur to increase his firepower.

We are not afraid of having a large number of weapons, but we are afraid that when more and more diverse weapons are needed, there is no corresponding design.

Fortunately, there are still many weapons design experts in Australasia, and Arthur's needs for rifle modifications were quickly met.

Of course, developing a new rifle has always been Browning's pursuit. This new rifle has been researched for more than seven years.

After spending such a long time researching new weapons, Arthur was also looking forward to the new rifle developed by Browning.

In Browning's report to Arthur, this new rifle was called the BLN28 automatic rifle by Browning.

The design concept of the BLN28 automatic rifle is still based on the gas-guided principle of the Maxim heavy machine gun, achieving the purpose of automatically loading ammunition.

Of course, achieving this step only achieves a semi-automatic rifle like the Rienfeld rifle. To achieve full automaticity, automatic firing is required.

How to make bullets fire automatically? After hard thinking, Browning developed the hammer rotary firing mechanism and the bolt rotary locking mechanism, realizing the idea of ​​automatic loading and automatic firing of the BLN28 automatic rifle.

In fact, the world's first rifle that could fire automatically was as early as 18 years old, but it was not taken seriously and reused at that time due to various reasons.

Even on the battlefields of World War II, semi-automatic rifles were the most used. The use of fully automatic rifles had to wait until after World War II. After all, the battlefields of World War I and World War II required more cannon fodder than single-point firepower that could effectively kill.

If there is a competition in firepower, the firepower of various light and heavy machine guns and artillery is definitely much ahead of that of fully automatic rifles.

With light and heavy machine guns, the firepower of fully automatic rifles is naturally not needed on the battlefield.

Even the Lee-Enfield rifle can be "fully automatic" when the hand speed is relatively fast. After all, the semi-automatic rifle with the fastest rate of fire does not deserve its reputation.

The purpose of Arthur asking Browning to develop a fully automatic rifle was not to completely replace the Lee-Enfield rifle, nor was it to allow soldiers to have more firearms to choose from at some point.

In normal large-scale combat, it is definitely more cost-effective to use Lee-Enfield rifles. After all, fully automatic rifles represent more bullet consumption.

It's not like Arthur has never seen a real battlefield. How many soldiers can actually aim and fire?

More than half of the bullets were wasted on the battlefield, and most of them were fired towards the ground or in the sky.

If a semi-automatic rifle is replaced by a fully automatic rifle, the military budget during the war will definitely increase several times.

This cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and it is impossible to replace the entire army with fully automatic rifles on a large scale.

The biggest use of fully automatic rifles is actually to be used as a weapon with powerful firepower by some special armies.

The power of submachine guns is too small, and heavy machine guns are not easy to carry. If a fully automatic rifle with equally powerful firepower can be used to perform certain tasks, it will definitely have unexpected effects.

Arthur instantly thought of those special forces in later generations. The current conditions are sufficient, at least allowing Arthur to explore training some special forces.

Equip the special forces with fully automatic rifles. Anyway, their number will not be too large, and the increased military budget will not be too exaggerated.

And such a group of military uniforms equipped with fully automatic rifles and other elite weapons are definitely no less effective in war than a large-scale army.

Coupled with a powerful air force, it can even effectively perform tasks such as beheading enemies behind enemy lines and cutting off enemy supply lines.

This was invaluable to the war effort. If the enemy's commander can be eliminated in advance during the war, the enemy's army will naturally be in chaos.

It is even an exaggeration to say that an elite special forces force that can be airborne everywhere will definitely be a nightmare for the enemies of Australasia in the future, making them unable to sleep well.

However, special forces cannot be trained through training. Arthur still needs to recruit more elite soldiers, conduct the first round of selection, select the elites in the army, and then pass them through rounds of screening. and training, in order to finally obtain an elite army among the elite.
