Chapter 138 Seeing that the production line for purchasing weapons from German and British systems could not be realized for the time being, Yuzawa Koichiro returned the target to the weapons themselves and said with a hint of flattery: "Your Excellency, what is the selling price of these weapons? We hope Purchase a large number of British-made weapons to meet the needs of our gradually expanding army."
Since the island country began to reform and reform, it has always had a tradition of importing weapons and warships from Western countries.
Especially when the British Empire needed island countries as hunting dogs to fight against the Russian Empire, the island countries were also very sensible and smart enough to join the British Empire.
At present, the equipment and warships used by the island country's navy and army basically come from the British Empire. From rifles to battleships, they are all made by the British.
Although such unified British equipment will increase the funds required for procurement, it also reduces a great burden on logistics.
If a country cannot achieve self-production and self-sufficiency in weapons, then the best way is to uniformly purchase equipment from a country with powerful weapons, rather than making its own country's weapons made by all nations.
Although the equipment made by Wanguo is cheaper and has a wide variety, there is also a lot of room for choice.
However, there is also a huge flaw in using weapons made by all countries, that is, when entering a period like war that has extremely demanding logistical supply and requirements, weapons made by all countries with a wide variety and very complex logistics will become a drag on the national economy and logistics supply. burden.
Just imagine, when the logistics supplies from the rear finally arrived, the soldiers suddenly discovered that the weapons they used could not use this kind of bullets, which was also a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.
This is also the reason why Australia’s army equipment is uniformly produced by itself. It can not only avoid more complex weapon systems, but also reduce the pressure on the wartime logistics system.
When it comes to purchasing weapons, Australia’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs also got excited and promoted with excitement: “Mr. Yuzawa Koichiro and Mr. Hirano Toshiu, Australia currently has two relatively complete sets of weapons and equipment systems, one from The British Empire and the German Empire. If your country wants to purchase Army weapons and equipment, I sincerely recommend the equipment of the German Empire to both of you." "German Army equipment?" Yuzawa Koichiro and Hirano Toshiyo looked at each other
, His eyes were filled with curiosity and expectation.
Although they seek refuge in and please the British Empire, all islanders have naturally heard of the reputation of the German Empire, which currently has the world's largest army.
If the British Empire is the well-deserved overlord of the sea, then the army of the German Empire is a strong and iron-blooded army that any country covets.
Of course, under the slightly crazy militaristic education of the islanders, the ideological education of the island army is very successful, and it is no worse than the German army in terms of being brave and fearless of death.
However, in terms of logistical supplies and weapons and equipment, the German Empire's army was more than a little ahead of the island nation's army.
"Dear Minister of Foreign Affairs, can your country really sell German-made army weapons and equipment to us?" Yuzawa Koichiro said with some expectation.
"Of course, with the good relationship between Australia and the German Empire, we have the production technology of German-made rifles, machine guns, artillery and even various warships. These weapons are all weapons that Australia can sell to foreign countries after being approved by His Highness the Duke. ." The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs said with a smile on his face. Yuzawa Koichiro and Hirano Toshiyo looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement and worry in each other's eyes.
German-made weapons and equipment are indeed very attractive, especially German-made army equipment, many of which are even ahead of British weapons and equipment.
But the island country has already concluded an alliance with the British Empire. If the island country equips a large number of German-made weapons and equipment, will it have an impact on the alliance between the island country and the British Empire, or even the cooperative relationship between the island country and the British Empire?
Butler Hunter, who had already understood the concerns of the two envoys from the island country, who had been silent for a long time, said with a smile: "Are you two worried that purchasing German equipment will affect the relationship with the British Empire? You can rest assured, your Majesty The country is only cooperating with us, not with Germany. All the weapons and equipment purchased by your country are independently manufactured by Australia and are weapons with independent production technology in Australia. Although these weapons and equipment come from German technology, they are It's also Australian now, isn't it?"
Butler Hunter's words hit the nail on the head, making the two hesitant Japanese envoys instantly cheerful.
Although it is German-made weapons and equipment, the country of production is Australia, and the country of cooperation is also Australia.
With the good relationship between Australia and the British Empire, the British Empire shouldn't be angry, right?
Now the two envoys of the island country are like two humble licking dogs. They have to carefully consider the attitude of the British Empire in everything.
"Sogasnai! Can we see how powerful the weapons and equipment are? Please rest assured that we are definitely not doubting the quality of the weapons produced by your country. We just want to see how powerful the German-made weapons and equipment are compared to the British-made weapons. Different, after seeing the power of German-made weapons, we can sign a weapons import treaty at any time." After thinking it through, Yuzawa Koichiro said eagerly.
According to the strategic plans of the island countries, there is a huge conflict between the strategy of the island countries in East Asia and the Far East and the Far East strategy of the Russian Empire. This also means that the two countries either have the choice to retreat, or they can only let the war decide which country. give up.
But you must know that unlike the core area of the Tsarist Empire in Europe, the entire island country is located in East Asia. If you give up its strategic position in East Asia, it is actually equivalent to giving up the opportunity to rise.
Even if the enemy is an old power, the Tsarist Empire, which has the title of European Bulldozer, these islanders with twisted mentality will never give up, and have even begun to make plans to madly please the British Empire and the United States in exchange for the support of these two countries. Prepare for war with the Russian Empire.
Everyone, including the emperor, tightened their belts and saved money to develop the army and navy in order to realize the dreams of all islanders.
It's not that the people of the island country didn't want to have a good relationship with the German Empire, but the German Empire is currently more focused on winning over the Tsarist Russian Empire, and naturally they don't have a good impression of the island country, the potential enemy of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
Now that he has the opportunity to obtain a large number of German-made weapons and equipment, Yuzawa Koichiro and Hirano Toshiyo are still very excited.
