Chapter 719: The Hopeful Keel
The torpedo technology on the side of the Valia Empire is not good, they have been focusing on the research and development of capital ships, maintaining the second navy in the world, and they are bent on fighting another fleet decisive battle with the Krull, so they are a little sluggish about torpedo research.
Now that the torpedo boats are shining, they find that although there are many torpedo boats, the torpedo technology is somewhat unable to keep up.
The two torpedo technical scum talked for a while, and then after each sighed a little bit about it, they decided to work on torpedoes together.
The basic technology of the Valya Empire is good, and there are more scientific research talents, and the Daheng Empire has a large number of torpedo boats, torpedo combat experience and technical feedback from the Orr Kingdom.
The two sides can complement each other!
Jiang Wanye also agreed with their Duke Ollie that if the cooperation is good this time, we will cooperate on other projects next time, such as artillery.
Before leaving the Walia Empire, the two sides formally finalized an intention order with a total value of 400 million Hengyuan, which is basically that the empire will exchange two agricultural and livestock products, primary processed products, kerosene, daily consumer goods and other commodities worth Hengyuan for high-end equipment, technology transfer, special products, medium and high-end daily commodities of the same value in the Walya Empire.
The number of cooperative enterprises between the two sides has reached more than 200, and basically all of them are medium and large enterprises in the two countries.
After concluding his trip to the Walya Empire, Jiang Wanye continued to lead the delegation south by train to the Kekel Empire.
Upon arrival in the Kkarl Empire, they were greeted with a higher standard than they had in the Valya Empire!
These Kele people have heard that the Daheng people, a super tyrant, have smashed 200 million orders for industrial products in the Walya Empire!
Although the two sides are striving for trade equality, and even to a certain extent, the added value of agricultural and livestock products and primary industrial products is far less than that of high-end machinery products, and the added value of medium and high-end daily consumer goods is high.
In a word, those Valians made a lot of money.
But the industrial and commercial circles of the Kyle Empire have long been waiting for the arrival of the Great Heng people!
Jiang Wanye and his entourage were greatly welcomed in the Kekel Empire, and the subsequent inspection and negotiation were relatively smooth.
But the Kroll Empire is similar to the Walia Empire, and the relationship with the Krull Kingdom is extremely poor, a few decades ago, the Krull Kingdom undeclared war, directly raided their important military port, and sent the third-ranked navy directly to the bottom of the sea, so that in the next few decades, the Kell Empire will have to be a man with his tail between his legs, and while restoring the navy, he will also have to shrink its operations overseas.
This has led to a significant lag behind the Kingdom of Krull in the competition for the world industrial market in recent decades.
The world's three major industrial powers, the Valua Empire and the Kekel Empire, were both severely damaged by the Krull Kingdom in a war, and the navy was almost completely lost, and then lost the opportunity to seize the industrial market.
By the time they had recovered and rebuilt their navy, the world market had almost been seized by the Krulls.
Relying on the huge world market, the industrial scale of the Krull Kingdom has become larger and more advanced, and the technology has become more and more advanced, and since then the Krull Kingdom has actually truly occupied the title of the world's first industrial power, both in terms of scale and technology.
Although the Valia Empire and the Kekel Empire are separated and chasing, they are always one step behind.
With such a historical hatred and a conflict of interest, it is not surprising that the relationship between these two countries and the Kingdom of Krull is extremely poor.
However, between the Walia Empire and the Kekel Empire, they themselves belong to the relationship of hundreds of years of historical enemies, in addition to historical hatred, they have been chasing in industrial development in recent decades, and they belong to the middle and high-end ranks in industrial development and international market competition.
At the top of the contemporary international industrial trade is the Kingdom of Krull, which relies on the export of high-tech industrial products with ultra-high added value.
The second is the Valya Empire and the Kekel Empire, they are also traditional industrial powers, with good technology, but they are still not as good as the Krull Kingdom, so their industrial exports, in addition to all kinds of mid-range products, can also obtain high-end markets in some specific markets.
Then there are the Gafia Empire, the Oran Kingdom, the Orissa Empire and the newly rising Daheng Empire, whose industrial exports are mainly low-end products.
Well, the above only refers to industrial products, all kinds of machinery and equipment, civilian consumer goods, etc., excluding agricultural and livestock products, mineral products and other primary products.
In contemporary international trade, the Krull Kingdom has eaten the fattest meat, and this situation is naturally a situation that the pursuers Valia Empire and Keel Empire want to try their best to reverse.
Now, there is a rift in the diplomatic relations between the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom, which gives them a chance.
You must know that the industrial market of the Daheng Empire is extremely huge, even if the Daheng Empire implements trade protection policies for many low-end industrial products in order to protect its own industrial development, but the Daheng Empire still has a large number of industrial products, especially high-end machinery and equipment that cannot be produced by itself.
Considering the huge industrial scale and population of the Daheng Empire, the demand for all kinds of high-end equipment is extremely huge.
In the past, the Krull Kingdom was able to export hundreds of millions of various industrial products to the Great Heng Empire every year.
Now that the Krull Kingdom has given up part of the high-end market on its own, they naturally want to take the opportunity to catch up.
But the Kyle Empire is interested, and the Daheng Empire also has a strong demand, so it is an instant hit, but the Kyle Empire, especially after learning that the Valia Empire has almost taken out all the family resources, naturally understands that it is impossible to take out some ordinary things to fool the Daheng people, so they all take out really good things.
Although most of the products are still not as advanced as the similar products of the Krull people, they are not bad, at least much better than the Daheng Empire's own production, and in some of these fields, they are already able to compete with the Krull people.
When the Daheng Empire was purchasing, it was also the head of the Bozhong family, and they obtained their most advanced things from the two respectively, which combined, it was already able to offset the negative impact of the Krull Kingdom's restrictive export of high-end equipment to the greatest extent.
It didn't take long for the Daheng Empire to reach a trade agreement with the Kekel Empire, and signed an order of intent worth 280 million Heng Yuan, under which Daheng would import 140 million Heng Yuan worth of various equipment and other industrial products or their special products, and export agricultural and livestock products, primary industrial products, petroleum products, etc. of the same value to them.
At the same time, the two sides have also reached cooperation in some national defense fields, jointly funding the research and development of more advanced military optical rangefinders for ships, military telescopes, portable army rangefinders and other military optical projects.
There was also a scientific cooperation in the establishment of a large telescope in each of the two countries for scientific research, which was used for the study of astronomy, and was a mutual collaboration between Imperial College London and the First National University of Cokele.
Although the empire was the first country in the world to develop a conjunctive rangefinder and accumulated rich experience in optical ritual research, it was still slightly lacking in the field of high-precision machining.
As for the Kyle Empire, although they have also copied the rangefinder, it has not been for a long time, and the accumulated experience is not enough, but their basic industry is very good, and their background in the field of optics is much stronger than that of the Daheng Empire.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two sides in the field of optics is a complementary cooperation, each taking what it needs.
In addition to the field of optics, in fact, the two sides have also carried out certain cooperation in the field of mechanical aiming.
When the naval artillery wants to shoot, it is not enough to just have some distance and other data measured by optical ceremonies, and many other auxiliary equipment are also needed to allow the artillery to carry out specific aiming and shooting, which belongs to the field of precision instruments, and the requirements for basic industries are very high.
However, the Imperial Navy hopes to obtain more advanced mechanical aiming control equipment, because this is an important sub-project of the 'Unified Fire Control System for the Whole Ship' in the core top-secret key project of the Navy, and relying on domestic scientific research forces to conduct comprehensive research, one sub-project after another will be solved slowly, and I don't know when it will go.
Therefore, the Empire hopes to be able to cooperate with the Kairel Empire in some areas, especially in areas where it is weaker.
This is very good in the field of rice polishing machinery in the Kyle Empire, which is stronger than the Valia Empire, and is basically comparable to the Krull Kingdom.
Of course, the cooperative project is limited to a few scattered sub-projects, not a whole unified fire control project.
These sub-projects can also be applied to naval guns when taken out individually.
The amount of cooperation between the two sides does not seem to be as large as the amount of cooperation with the Valia Empire, but in fact it needs to be more in-depth.
After the two sides finalized the cooperation, the mission of the Daheng Empire was divided into four, one group went to the Gafia Empire, and one group went to the Oran Kingdom, the purpose of these two groups is actually similar, both are to find advanced technology and equipment, but the hope is not large, the Gafia Empire is a bit of a good thing, but the relationship with the empire in the past two years is not very good.
Orr Kingdom, they themselves are relatively reluctant to even produce their own battleships, and the guns of the battleships produced are all imported from the Krull Kingdom, but they should also have some good things on hand, but because the Krull Kingdom has a greater influence on them, I just don't know if they can get it.
Another group went to the Kingdom of Louhe and the Mongol Khanate, which belonged to an after-sales visit to strengthen the friendly and cooperative relations between the two sides, and by the way to see if they could get another batch of orders for warships.
As for the majority of the mission, they are heading to the Kingdom of Krull to prepare for peace and participate in the trade talks between the two countries to be held next month!
