A dream impossible to achieve

With her thoughts from the previous night she started working on it. Erika wanted to test whether her magic powers were enough to make a functioning rifle first. Her idea was to make arsenal first and then the army. She collected various worn out old clothes and turned them to authentic Feldgrau uniforms, ammunition's pouches and other kits carried by Wehrmacht soldiers at that time. As in the game her magical powers were immense and she was able to create the uniforms without efforts within a week. Her next task was to try and build the weapons necessary. She decided on making three types of handguns the Gewehr 43 semi-automatic as the standard rifle, The MP-40 Schmeisser as the submachinegun and Walther P-38 as the sidearms. As for machinegun she wanted to build the famous MG-42. With that thought in mind, after the uniforms were ready and stored in her rooms closet, she started to test whether she could make the weapons or not. In the second week since her reincarnation, she started to collect materials from her father's territory. She went to blacksmiths, craftsmen and woodworkers to collect the necessary raw materials. "Jeez its such a hassle. I wish someone could gather these things for me for free,". "That's what we are here for milady," said her butler Emil. Bauer also agreed. These are the two people expect for her mother who always stuck with her. They have been with her since her birth and a few years senior to her. "Though I don't understand what do you want to do with these things. Those are not something a 10 years old should play with." Said Emil. "Oh, just stay quiet and watch carefully. If what I'm trying to do works then you will have far more responsibility from now on and its a secret.". "Erika knew from her memories that these two have been faithfully serving her since her birth and always tried to fulfill her wishes no matter how absurd they were. In a word they are trusted. I want to entrust my Wehrmacht to these two other than me. I want to hide it from my parents otherwise they'll worry and my plans will fail." She thought to herself. So with that said she started working on her project.

It was 10 a.m. in the morning the sun's gentle warmth was shining all around the garden at the duke's residence where Erika started her experiment. Emil and Bauer stood watch. As she started working. First the metal parts. For that she used her magic to refine the metal into fine steel which took some times because of all the impurities in the metal. However, once the purification was done, she started building the thing. First she used the metal parts to create a metal tube and rifle it accordingly. Then came the bolt action and firing mechanism. These took sometime and it was almost noon when the rifle was complete. For her first trial she made the bolt action Kar 98k mauser bolt action rifle. It seemed complete from the outside but she had to test whether it can safely fire a 7.92x57 mm mauser cartridge or not. And now she faced the first dilemma. "Oh shit. I don't know how gunpowder works." Emil and Bauer were shocked to hear such words from Erika. They didn't know what she was doing until now and were patiently observing her. "What's wrong milady?" they said in unison. "The experiment maybe successful but I can't test it. I don't know the composition of the powder charge used in bullets." This was a problem needed fixing first in order to go on with her plan. However before she could think of anything another maid came and told her that lunch was ready. With that she and her two loyal followers left the scene for taking bath and having lunch. Erika thought to herself, "Maybe her dream was impossible to achieve."
