Climbing the Noble Hierarchy

While the Department of Defense belonging to the Kingdom of Austria had tested the next-generation weapons designed by their sovereign. The Research and Development Department was working on an exciting piece of artillery.

Having received field reports from the lack of support to light infantry units behind enemy lines, Jakob Schmidt, the son of Ludwig Schmidt, had come to the logical conclusion that lightweight and maneuverable artillery capable of being rapidly deployed by a small team of infantrymen needed to be developed. 

He had delegated the responsibility of his department to the development of Berengar's next-generation weapons designs entirely. He worked with his father to develop a new weapon that could fulfill the demands of indirect fire and support.
