Chapter 836: Competition in the Arms Trade
The shipbuilding industry of the Daheng Empire has directly impacted the global shipbuilding market by virtue of the low-price strategy, and has continuously seized the shipbuilding market of other countries.
In the field of arms trade, how prosperous the arms exports of the Great Heng Empire have been in recent years, how much the Krull Kingdom hates.
The Great Heng Empire competes in all aspects in the field of arms exports, from small rifles to large battleships and the Krull Kingdom.
In particular, the military order of the Mongol Khanate not so long ago, for which the two countries competed fiercely.
The military order of the Mongol Khanate was a mixed army and navy order, with the army needing advanced weapons such as artillery, machine guns, and rifles, and the navy needing to order several cruisers.
In particular, what they require is the most advanced weapons and equipment, and at the same time, the Mongol Khanate was an ordnance buyer of the traditional Krull Kingdom in the early years, and in the next few years, weapons were imported from the Daheng Empire, so the new round of orders was basically delineated in the Daheng Empire or the Krull Kingdom, so that the logistics system could continue to be maintained without having to re-establish a new set of logistics systems.
This is a large order worth more than 15 million Hengyuan, and the two countries are fiercely competing for it.
In the end, the Great Heng Empire won!
In order to compete for orders, the Daheng people directly took out the latest improved Fuyuan 5 rifles, heavy machine guns and army artillery, and also tailored a 3,000-ton protective cruiser for the Mongol Khanate.
The most important thing is that it is cheap, and it also promises to send military instructors to instruct, especially on the army side, to help them reorganize and modernize the army.
The Mongol Khanate was already quite short of funds, so it was naturally inclined to the offer of the Daheng Empire, and more importantly, the Daheng Empire promised to send military instructors to help them reorganize the modern army and accept their military students.
Not for anything else, even if it is to learn from the Daheng people to reorganize and modernize the army, they are also inclined to the Daheng people.
After all, everyone knows that the army of the Daheng people is the first in the world, and almost all the armies in the world are crossing the river by touching the Daheng army......
However, in the past, the Great Hengren Empire did not welcome foreign military students to study, and for a long time, only the great tyrant of the Orr Kingdom could send people to study.
However, in recent years, Daheng people also want to open, in order to cooperate with the export of weapons, Daheng people have opened their mouths, and in the Army Military Academy and the Army University, the two Daheng Empire, began to open 'international classes' to recruit international students and teach in a targeted manner.
This international class also does not accept self-reports from students, and only accepts international students sent by the government.
This international class is very attractive to many countries, especially small and medium-sized countries, because it is possible to receive the most advanced army education on the Blue Star there.
Even in order to obtain the quota of sending foreign students, the army equipment of Daheng people will be specially purchased
Therefore, the ordnance export of the Daheng Empire, in fact, army equipment is more popular than naval equipment!
This can be seen from a series of rifle exits from the Great Hengren.
For example, the main equipment of the previous generation of Daheng people, the total export volume of the Fuyuan IV rifle in the tube magazine reached 1 million, which does not include the subsequent sale of the rifle at a low price or simply a batch of second-hand goods for military aid after the retirement of Daheng, and also sold a number of production lines, gave numerous patent authorizations, and the total output of imitation production in other countries is higher.
And that's not even counting the so-called self-developed tubular magazines of other countries.
How to say it, seven or eight years ago, almost the entire army of the large and medium-sized countries of the Blue Star had almost all barrel magazine rifles......
And when the Fuyuan Type 5 rifle comes out, the export volume is equally terrifying!
This rifle was developed by Dahengren relatively early, but in the early years, because of the relatively high cost and the need for secrecy of smokeless gunpowder, it has always been a small-scale equipment, and it was probably reequipped on a large scale after nine years of Qiansheng.
After the exposure of this rifle, it became a new generation of standard rifles of Blue Star for a while, and the eight countries had the ability to develop similar ones by themselves, but they were not able to purchase them from Daheng people.
The Great Heng Empire also officially liberalized export controls after the twelfth year of Qiansheng, allowing the gun to be exported to some countries.
And how much has this rifle been exported over the past four years?
1,200,000!
If nothing else, in the 16 years of Qiansheng, the total export volume of this series of rifles was able to reach 400,000 units, and this figure does not include the number of imitation production authorized by patents in other countries, but only the number of Daheng's production and export.
That's a scary number!
Other countries don't export so much, even in the annual production capacity of rifles, it is impossible to reach such a high level.
The production capacity of various types of weapons in the Daheng Empire is very high, and the annual production capacity of various models of Fuyuan five-type rifles can reach more than 600,000 pieces per year for personal use and foreign trade.
That's peacetime capacity!
And to be able to maintain such a large production capacity in peacetime, it requires a huge amount of orders, without so many orders, how can the Daheng Empire maintain such a large scale of peacetime production capacity.
Not only are rifles widely welcomed, but the artillery of the Great Heng people is also widely praised by the countries of the Blue Star.
The rifle sells well, and that's because the design of the Daheng people is more advanced.
But Daheng people buy artillery, to be honest, what they buy is not performance, but feelings!
People all over the world know that Daheng people are faithful believers in artillery, and many foreigners have a very exaggerated impression of the Daheng Army's war, thinking that Daheng people fight wars regardless of whether they use large-caliber heavy artillery to blow up again, then use medium-caliber grenades to blow up again, and then use small and medium-caliber field artillery to fight again, and then use mortars to wash a wave.
After the shelling, seeing that the enemy was almost dead, he began to charge.
What, not dead yet? Then repeat one more side......
Therefore, people stereotypically think that the artillery of the Daheng people is better, even if the actual performance is average, they don't need to brag about it, they can say how good the artillery is.
Of course, in the early stage, this artillery had to be equipped by the Daheng people themselves.
The artillery models that Daheng people are equipped with by themselves are generally good if they buy them.
From large-caliber long-range suppression of heavy artillery, to medium-caliber field artillery, to 60-millimeter mortars, all the artillery models equipped by the Daheng Army themselves basically sell well.
Other countries, even if they don't buy them, will follow suit and copy similar artillery.
This can be seen from the current caliber of artillery in various countries, because the caliber of artillery in various countries is basically the same.
