Chapter 714: Technical Limitations of the Krull Kingdom

Half a month after the end of the armistice of the Orr War, the Daheng Empire and the Orr Kingdom officially signed an arms trade contract.

This also means that some of the largest ordnance orders in the history of the Daheng Empire, and even in the history of Blue Star, have been reached!

Two plus two, a total of four battleship orders.

Two orders for 10,000-ton armored cruisers.

Four eight-thousand-ton armored cruisers.

Twelve 2nd class dome cruisers ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 tons.

Eight 500-ton destroyers.

Fifty torpedo boats or offshore patrol ships.

Sixty large-caliber coastal defense guns of more than 200 mm caliber.

More than 2,000 army guns, 1,000 heavy machine guns, 200,000 Roan IV rifles.

1.5 million rounds of army and navy shells of various calibers, 300 million rounds of ammunition.

In addition, supporting military port facilities, coastal defense battery facilities, and other types of military supplies.

Among them, there are newly made, existing new goods, and second-hand goods, involving all aspects of the army and navy.

The above orders are worth a total of 260 million Hengyuan.

In addition to getting the obvious things on the order, the Orrs also received a promise from the Great Heng Empire that they would become the second country on the Blue Star to be equipped with new naval guns.

Although it is only a verbal promise, it still carries a lot of weight.

To this end, each new warship will reserve room for upgrades in advance when designing, so that it can be upgraded and replaced with rapid-fire guns in the future.

At the same time, the Orr Kingdom also gave a promise, that is, in the next few years, it will continue to purchase weapons and ammunition from the Great Heng Empire to replace the wear and tear and replenish the inventory.

At the same time, the two sides also reached some terms attached, mainly because the Orr Kingdom sent military students to study in the military academy of the empire, and even entered the army of the Daheng Empire for internship and service.

At the same time, the empire will send some instructors to the Orr Kingdom to serve as their military academy instructors to train their army and navy junior officers, and at the same time send a team of advisors to help the Orr Kingdom train their army and navy units.

With the conclusion and announcement of this huge weapon order between the Great Heng Empire and the Orr Kingdom, the world was shocked again.

A general of the Krull Kingdom even publicly stated in the media: "We have paid a huge price in Orr, but the biggest benefit is that it has been taken away by the people of Daheng!" ”

This dissatisfaction of the Krull Kingdom is not aimed at the Great Heng Empire, the largest seller of weapons in the Great Heng Empire is the Orr Kingdom, and this situation began to be like this ten years ago, the army and navy equipment of the Orr Kingdom are all made by Daheng, which is caused by special world diplomatic relations.

Because in the early years, except for the Daheng people who dared to sell a large number of ordnance weapons to the Orrs under the pressure of the Kruhr people, other countries did not have the courage to do so!

This step ahead, that is, step by step, the diplomatic relations between the two sides have become second only to the relationship between military allies, and the Orr people are already familiar with and good at using the weapons and equipment made by Daheng, and even they have formed a certain maintenance system in their country.

Now they want to buy weapons and equipment from other countries to rewear, then they need to pay a greater price.

These are all important factors that contributed to this huge order.

This is also the reason why the Daheng Empire has often adopted a low-price strategy to open up the market in its foreign ordnance trade in recent years.

Open the market at a low price, although the profit in the early stage is less, but when your own weapons and equipment enter the country, as long as there are no major changes, then the follow-up weapons orders will be endless.

The reason why the weapons and equipment of the Daheng Empire can surpass kerosene to become the most exported industrial products of the Daheng Empire is because it is cheap and easy to use, and at the same time, in order to open up the market in the early stage, it often does not care about the profits in the early stage, so it has obtained a large number of weapons orders from small and medium-sized countries.

The Nanzhou Artillery of the Nanzhou Manufacturing Bureau has become a well-known artillery brand on the Blue Star.

The Fuyuan series of rifles that Fuyuan Ordnance Factory has successively modified and exported according to the Luo'an III and Luo'an IV rifles have also created a great reputation in the international market.

When it comes to repeating fast guns, the first instinctive reaction of people in many countries is Fuyuan fast guns!

Although this gun is called the Luo'an Type IV rifle in the Daheng Empire, this is the internal model of the military, and in foreign trade, the name of the manufacturer is often used, and the version of the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory is called the Fuyuan Type 4 rifle, in addition to the Jingzhou Type 4 rifle, etc., but they are all similar, there is almost no essential difference, but the manufacturers have made some improvements in a targeted manner.

Of course, during the Orr War, the Ruhr rifle of the Krull Kingdom was also famous!

This rifle is also a barrel magazine rear-loading rifled rifle, but the bolt design is slightly different.

To be honest, in addition to the price is more expensive than the Roan IV rifle, the gun is better than the Roan IV rifle in other aspects, with a faster rate of fire and higher accuracy, and it performed very well in the Orr War.

The Ruhr rifle and the Roan IV rifle are only two rifles that have undergone large-scale combat and performed well, so they are now very popular internationally.

However, the major powers have discovered the defects of this rifle from the war, that is, although the tube magazine can be fired continuously, but with the shooting, the gradual reduction of the bullet in the magazine will lead to a continuous change in the center of gravity, which will affect the aiming and other problems, so many countries have begun to change this problem, such as designing it as a magazine.

However, in this case, because of the large caliber of bullets due to the use of black powder bullets, the number of bullets loaded with the magazine will be very small.

I don't want to say how it will change in the future, but the Orr Kingdom has a soft spot for this rifle!

A large number of ordnance orders from the Orr Kingdom, just a few days after the signing of the Orr Kingdom, six freighters loaded with various ordnance were escorted to the Orr Kingdom under the escort of a number of Daheng warships.

If nothing else, these are still part of the Great Heng Empire, and any warships that carry out the escort will be officially handed over to the Orr Kingdom Navy as part of the deal after they arrive at the port of Ian in the Orr Kingdom.

This also means that not long after the end of the Orr War, the Orr Kingdom, which was still in a weak state, regained a large number of army equipment and a number of warships in just one month, and initially restored their equipment.

Many countries that want to take the opportunity to bite the Orr Kingdom have begun to hesitate again!

The Orr Kingdom is a quick fat, this is something that everyone in the Blue Star knows, but not all the great powers can bite a piece from it.

Whether it is the Orissa Empire or the Gafia Empire, they all have to carefully weigh the existing resistance of the Orr Kingdom, and at the same time consider the attitude of the Great Heng people.

Although the Great Heng Empire was neutral in the Orr War, in the same way, people all over the world knew that the Great Heng Empire supported the Orr Kingdom on the one hand, and it was not known how many strategic materials were sold to the Orr people during the war.

Otherwise, why is the heavy machine gun of the Orr people a technical weapon that is bigger and more?

At the beginning of the war, there were only a few hundred, but by the end of the war, they were armed with more than a thousand heavy machine guns.

Although there is no explicit evidence, and the Orrs have always insisted that their arsenal was producing them, outsiders do not believe it, and they firmly believe that these heavy machine guns were sold to them by the Daheng Empire through a third party resale.

This is also one of the parties in the Orr War is the Krull Kingdom, and the Great Heng people still need to keep peace with the Krull Kingdom and maintain the trade between the two countries, so the Great Heng people are estimated to be not easy to intervene directly.

But if it is replaced by other countries, it is difficult to guarantee that Daheng people will not directly intervene!

Over the years, although the Great Heng Empire has not signed a formal military alliance agreement with the Orr Kingdom, no matter what, the Orr Kingdom can be regarded as half of the younger brother of the Great Heng Empire, and not everyone has the courage to fight the younger brother of the Daheng Empire.

For example, if the Orissa Empire dares to declare war on the Orr Kingdom at this time, I am afraid that the Great Heng Empire will be eager to jump out and declare war under the pretext of declaring war, and then provoke the second Heng Ao War to compete for the Endless Strait.

Therefore, although the Orr Kingdom is a fast fatten, except for the Krull Kingdom that dares to resist the pressure of the Great Heng people and try to take a bite, other countries really don't have the courage to do so.

And the Krull Kingdom bites the fat of the Orr Kingdom, which has a historical relationship, and the conflict between them and the Orr Kingdom has lasted for more than 30 years, and the Krull Kingdom has already invaded the Krull Kingdom twice before the unification of Daheng.

It's just that the first two invasions ended without a hitch, and although the third invasion received a compensation of 300 million Hengyuan, it cost more, and it would have to lose more than a billion Hengyuan if it was carefully calculated.

So if it's more true, even when the Krull Kingdom bit the fat of the Orr Kingdom, it broke its teeth three times one after another.

Other countries dare to say that they are more awesome than the Kingdom of Krull?

Even the Great Heng Empire itself didn't dare to say that it could do better than the Krull Kingdom!

In this case, the risk of wanting to bite a bite of fat in the Orr Kingdom is too high, so I slowly dispelled the idea!

But looking back, mom, this way of operation of Daheng people is the real way of eating full of oil.

By selling military supplies to the Orr Kingdom, the people of Daheng have obtained at least hundreds of millions of benefits from it, more than the Krull people.

The world has changed a little incomprehensible to them.

These Heng barbarians haven't done anything, how can they take away all the gold gains of the Orrs in recent years?

At this time, the diplomats of the Great Heng Empire began to shout again: peaceful development, free trade!

What are you talking about, how bad it is to fight and kill, let's do business happily and make money together!

Have these barbarians abandoned their thousand-year-old traditions and become businessmen?

Impossible!

The Orr Kingdom made up its mind to purchase ordnance with a large amount of money, and facilitated the delivery and shipment back as soon as possible, dispelling the ambitions of many great powers who also wanted to take a bite from the Orr Kingdom.

From this point of view, their ordnance purchase was worth it.

From the perspective of the Great Heng Empire, this mediation of the Orr War is the current sale of materials for super large orders to the Orr Kingdom, and for this reason, it does not hesitate to directly sell an active Endless Sea-class battleship.

All of them show the strength of the Great Heng Empire to the outside world!

However, there are pros and cons!

The Krull Kingdom has begun to restrict the export of high-end equipment to Daheng!
