Chapter 117： New submachine gun (1/2)

The enthusiastic Furtwängler is gone. Cyrek is very satisfied with this exchange. He asked Furtwängler to compose the music. It was only a piggyback. The point is to keep these smart minds in Germany!

This matter needs to come to an end temporarily, and the contact with other scientists needs to be gradually expanded in the future.

As for now, the most important thing for Cyric is the equipment of the First Armored Division!

The tank is already fully equipped, as well as armored vehicles and submachine guns!

Therefore, after being officially inaugurated as Waffen-SS commander, Cyric stayed in the barracks for less than a month, and took a few of his men to the Irma Armory.

Located in the important Ruhr industrial zone in Germany, there are various factories everywhere, which is the premise for the German war machine to operate.

The Erma Factory, also known as the Erfurt Machine Manufacturing Factory, had already sent orders to this factory on the first day Cyric arrived at the armored division, asking them to manufacture a new submachine gun.

After receiving Cyric's order, they took out the sample gun in less than a month, and it was quite fast!

Sitting in the car, thinking about the report of Irma, Cyric knew in his heart that all this was also attributed to another person.

Heinrich Volmer, a German master of firearms, as early as 1912, Volmer was only 24 years old and founded Volmer Company, dedicated to firearms research.

10 years later, he improved the MP18 submachine gun used in World War I, adding a vertical grip to the wooden front support, and improving portability and action reliability. The improved gun is called MP25.

This kind of gun received funding from the German military and has been improved to MP30. As a result, it failed to pass the inspection by the weaponry inspection department because it did not have a barrel sleeve.

As a result, the military terminated its sponsorship in 1930. While Volmer is developing an improved submachine gun, it has also signed a large number of gun mask production contracts with the military. As a result, thousands of guns and masks have no market, resulting in a backlog, funds cannot be returned, and the company faces bankruptcy.

Under this situation, Irma decided to acquire all the sales rights of Volmer Company at a low price in October 1931. It was originally thought that it could only be sold abroad. Unexpectedly, this submachine gun would usher in a turning point again!

”General Cyric, you are very welcome.” Company President Berthold Geppel said to Cyric enthusiastically. The number two worker of the Workers’ Party is now a household name in Germany.

”I heard that our submachine gun has a sample gun?” Cyric said to Thold.

”Yes, please come here,” Berthold said.

Behind the company is the shooting range. At this time, a black submachine gun is ready here!
