Chapter 649: The Good Wealth Boy
And because it can't be developed for a while, the empire has been purchasing these advanced large-scale equipment from all over the world since last year.
Fortunately, the equipment blockade is not popular in these years, as long as you can make money, you can basically sell anything, Daheng people even sold their own dome cruisers, 300 mm 25 times naval guns and other advanced weapons to the Orr, and now they are still holding the more successful design, the coast-class coastal defense ironclad ship, the princess-class second-class ironclad ship and the dome cruiser are widely praised by the Orr people to sell it all over the world......
These industrial equipment, although very important, are far less sensitive than warships, as long as the price is suitable, then they can be bought, and if they can't be bought from this country, they will be sold in other countries.
Although the people of many countries on the Blue Star hate the Daheng people, they still like the gold coins and food of the Daheng people.
In September of the second year of Qiansheng, the trade delegation sent abroad to purchase all kinds of important industrial equipment, but also to open the export of Daheng goods, returned, and they came back with a large number of contracts, the most important of which was to sign orders for some top-level equipment with some enterprises in the Krull Kingdom and a package of trade agreements with the Walia Empire.
This time they went out and became a good money boy.
In addition to purchasing industrial equipment, they also purchased a lot of basic technology, just in the Walya Empire, the purchasing group of the Daheng industrial and commercial circles spent a lot of money and ordered a large number of equipment, costing more than 10 million Heng Yuan.
The Walia Empire is also an old power, and it was once the world's first power, and its navy size is able to compete with the Krull Kingdom, even if it was taken down by the Krull Kingdom a few decades ago, a large number of naval capital ships were sunk, and a reparation was paid, but after more than ten years of recovery, their rebuilt navy is still the second in the world.
To be able to restore the size of the navy to the second place in the world so quickly, it is naturally impossible to do without some industrial strength.
At least a lot of the equipment that the Daheng Empire needs now can basically be purchased from them, and this country has been suppressed by the Krull Kingdom in recent years, and it is extremely passive in the overseas market.
It is worth noting that only part of the cash allocated for these equipment orders is disbursed, and a considerable part of it is at low prices for agricultural and livestock products.
Although there is a lot of grain production in the Walya Empire, they have a high population density, and the grain has always been in a state of inadequacy, and they need to import grain all year round.
In this transaction, Daheng people paid through a part of cash, a part of wheat, corn and other grains, a part of cotton and frozen meat products.
This is a package deal that is guided by the government and participated by enterprises.
The deal with the Walya Empire is only a part, and the trade delegation of the Daheng Empire has reached several deals on the side of the Krull Kingdom before, but there is no official involvement, and the Krull Kingdom itself has a rich source of agricultural and livestock products, and there is no need to import the agricultural and livestock products of the Daheng Empire, so the orders on the side of the Krull Kingdom are purely to send money.
If you don't go over and send money, you can't help it, who makes people's things good, some of the top machinery and equipment can really only be bought from the Krull Kingdom, and other countries don't have it.
For example, a 100-ton super steam hammer and a 5,000-ton free water press.
There are other seemingly inconspicuous, but high-precision processing equipment.
But although they bought good things, the trade delegation didn't sell a grain or a single bullet in the Krull Kingdom, and only sent the money, so this made the trade delegation very unhappy, so some of the equipment that was originally planned to be ordered in the Krull Kingdom turned around and ran to the Walya Empire to order.
The trade delegation went around several powerful countries and spent tens of millions of Hengyuan.
Fortunately, in addition to the iron rooster in the Krull Kingdom, the trade delegation also reached some export agreements in several other countries, mainly agricultural and livestock products, in general, a trip must be a loss, and it is a loss of tens of millions, but this is also a matter of no way.
In order to improve the domestic industrial technology capacity in a short period of time, especially the manufacturing capacity, in addition to increasing the research and development of equipment and other technologies, it is also necessary to purchase advanced equipment from abroad.
Buy a sample first, and it's easier to develop and imitate it yourself, or you will toss it slowly, so when will you go.
The trade delegation of the Daheng Empire went around outside, threw out tens of millions of orders, won the reputation of a good money boy, and by the way, stabilized and opened up the export market for agricultural and livestock products.
At the same time, they also obtained a batch of weapons orders, although the total amount is not large, only tens of thousands of Luoan III rifles and dozens of army field artillery orders, but it is still significant, because this is the order they obtained from the Yarog Kingdom on the western continent.
You must know that it is not easy to obtain such an order for weapons on the western continent where there are many powerful countries, and there are the Krull Kingdom and the Walya Empire on the side, as well as powerful countries such as the Kekel Empire and the Ibean Empire.
It was not easy to snatch the order of the Arrog Kingdom from them.
Although this has the internal instability of the Yarog Kingdom now, and it is in urgent need of advanced weapons, and it is required to supply them immediately after signing the contract, and at present, only the Daheng Empire can provide a large number of rear-loading rifled weapons at the first time, and the Daheng Empire directly takes out the active equipment and sells it.
But it's still not easy.
Although the trade delegation to the Kingdom Island and the western continent has returned, the trade delegation sent to the southern continent and the southwest continent in the middle of the year has not returned, and they are still working hard to open the market for the Empire's agricultural and livestock products and weapons.
At the same time, I also wanted to see if I could exchange some good things from other countries.
The visits of these two trade delegations to various countries actually revealed a very obvious news to the countries, that is, the Great Heng Empire has no plans to start a war with foreign countries in the near future, but intends to develop its own economy, so don't worry about it.
This can be regarded as an indirect way for the Great Heng Empire to euphemistically transmit a message of peace to the outside world under the current situation.
As for speaking directly, this is impossible, this is not in line with the tradition of the Great Heng Empire!
The consistent tradition of the Daheng Empire is that it has a very tough attitude towards the outside world, and if it says that it will hit you, it will beat you!
If you ask the Great Heng people to pull down their faces to express goodwill and say peace, foreigners will think that you Da Heng people have a conspiracy, and the Great Heng people will feel that the upper echelons of the empire are too weak.
Daheng people never compromise!
Unless you really can't beat it......
The chief foreign minister of the Krull Kingdom previously told the officials of the trade delegation that he personally welcomed and congratulated the reunification of the Daheng Empire and the establishment of the Lin dynasty, and was full of hope for Emperor Lin Ziran, hoping that the two countries could work together in the future to work together for the peaceful development of Blue Star.
The personal remarks of the chief foreign minister of the Krull Kingdom, although they are only personal remarks, still represent the thoughts of the Krull Kingdom, the number one power of our time, to a certain extent, that is, they hope that the Great Heng Empire will not make trouble!
As the boss of the contemporary Blue Star, the Krull Kingdom hopes that Blue Star can maintain the current situation!
Because in this situation, they are the boss and can get a lot of benefits.
As the best interest of the old order, the Krull Kingdom does not want the situation on the Blue Star to change too much, such as the struggle of several powerful countries on the western continent, the Krull Kingdom will intervene, and even maintain the balance of the situation between these major powers through the intimidation of war.
However, whether it is in the Western Continent, the Southwest Continent, or the Southern Continent, the Krull Kingdom has a strong influence.
But only in the Central Continent, the Krull Kingdom has a feeling that it is impossible to speak.
During the period of civil strife in Daheng, the Krull Kingdom did not try to intervene in the civil war of Daheng, they actually tried to contact several large feudal towns many times, trying to control the situation in Daheng by controlling these feudal towns, but the people of Daheng had a tendon in their brains.
The benefits sent by the Krull Kingdom, these big feudal towns ate it in one bite, but they directly refused many requests from the Krull Kingdom, such as opening up trade.
After going through it a few times, the Krull Kingdom also gave up.
Now, with the unification of the Great Heng Empire, the Krull Kingdom has begun to adjust its diplomatic policy and turn to support the Olisa Empire.
Especially on the fact that the Olisa Empire sent troops to the Kingdom of Dynor and the Kingdom of Kasi to assist these two countries in military defense, the Daheng Empire naturally expressed a strong protest, but the Krull Kingdom openly and secretly supported this act of the Olisa Empire, believing that this move would help maintain peace in the central continent.
It is impossible to directly turn against the Great Heng Empire, but by supporting the Olisa Empire to make trouble for the Great Heng people, curb the exaggeration of the Great Heng people, and even set off another Heng Ao War, this is the most obvious diplomatic adjustment of the Krull Kingdom in the Central Continent and the Southern Continent in the past year.
In order to let the Olisa Empire deal with the Great Heng people exclusively, the Krull Kingdom even took the initiative to lower their support to the East Coast Four-Nation Alliance, so as not to bring too much pressure to the Olisa Empire.
However, this is also an opportunity for the Great Heng Empire to intervene in the situation of the Southern Continent!
With the four countries on the east coast, after seeking new army weapons from the Krull Kingdom and the warships were opened by the lion, the four countries on the east coast urgently needed to find a second strategic supporter.
And when the trade delegation of the Great Heng Empire arrived at the four countries on the east coast for a visit, the four countries on the east coast expressed their goodwill one after another.
In line with the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the diplomatic relations between the Great Heng Empire and the four countries on the east coast quickly warmed up, and soon the Kingdom of Io, one of the four countries on the east coast, sent a trade delegation to visit the Great Heng Empire.
Their delegation is in the name of a trade mission, and they negotiate with Daheng on the export of agricultural and livestock products, so as to stabilize and ensure food security.
However, although their Io Kingdom is short of food, the four countries on the east coast are not short of food as a whole, these four countries are all coastal countries, and there are many coastal plains, especially the Kingdom of Veran, one of the four countries, although the country is small, but the grain production is very high, and it belongs to the food supplier countries in the four-nation alliance.
Therefore, even if the Io Kingdom is short of food, it can be solved to a certain extent within the Four-Nation Alliance, even if there is still a certain shortfall, but it is enough to import some casually, and there is no way to send a trade delegation to Daheng to discuss the import of agricultural and livestock products.
You must know that this delegation is led by Prince Harrant, the second in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Io.
Their intentions are already quite obvious, they are not only here to import grain, but also to test the tone of the Great Heng people on behalf of the entire Four Nations Alliance, to see if they can seek the support of the Great Heng Empire.
Recently, after the Krull Kingdom switched to supporting the Orissa Empire, the four countries on the east coast were extremely dissatisfied, especially during the critical period when the Orissa Empire continued to expand its armaments and warfare, and was equipped with advanced breech-loading rifled weapons on a large scale, even if they knew that the Orissa Empire's move was to deal with the threat of the Great Heng Empire, but their four countries on the east coast also felt a huge threat.
Although they made the four countries on the east coast and the Olisa Empire mortal enemies.
During the Heng Ao War, the four countries on the east coast firmly stood on the side of the Olisa Empire for the overall interests of the southern continent, but after the Great Heng Empire withdrew, the four countries on the east coast and the alliance of the three countries on the west coast did not hesitate to insert a knife into the Olisa Empire, which directly led to the Olicocellia Province of the Olisa Empire becoming the Kingdom of Orchardia.
In the following decades, the Olisa Empire and the East Coast Quadruple Alliance fought several times, the most recent of which was five years ago.
In this case, how could the Orissa Empire's continuous military expansion and war not make them afraid.
What if the Orissa Empire then fought against Daheng's name to expand its armaments, and turned around to wage war against their four-nation alliance?
At that time, will the army units that are still equipped with front-loading weapons be able to resist the Orissa army that has been equipped with rear-loading rifled weapons?
Difficult!
That's why they are so eager to find the Krull Kingdom to order rear-loading rifled weapons.
But on the one hand, the Krull Kingdom is to support the Olisa Empire against Daheng, and on the other hand, although their weapon production is not small, they also need to supply a lot of places, in addition to their own use, they also need to supply weapons to several important allies, such as the Orlan Kingdom, the Ancia Empire, and so on.
It is impossible for them to supply too many advanced weapons to the four countries on the east coast for a while.
So, the four countries on the east coast have found the Great Heng Empire!
