Chapter 689: The Mongol Man Who Is Cruel To Himself

Although it is said that a lot of secondary guns are obtained, there is certainly the idea of clearing the inventory and taking the opportunity to find a big boss to dispose of a lot of old naval guns.

But this is also because the current torpedo boat threat is too great, and the rate of fire of this half-rapid-fire gun is limited, so it is necessary to have a sufficient number to counter the increasing threat of torpedo boats.

So getting a lot of secondary artillery, in fact, is also for performance considerations, but the Mongol Khanate pointed out that it is not necessary to have so many secondary cannons, and after a few more explanations, people will say that you deliberately cheat their money.

There is no way, it can only be a reduction in the caliber of the secondary gun!

For example, the 75-mm naval gun was canceled, and this broken thing is really useless, and the medium caliber without rapid-fire is not high or low.

This is a completely different product from the 75-mm rapid-fire gun used by the Daheng people themselves!

The Great Heng people can use a 150 mm rapid-fire gun with a 75 mm rapid-fire gun plus a 40 mm rapid-fire gun as a secondary gun on the capital ship.

However, this is based on the premise that the secondary artillery is fully rapid-fire.

If you switch to a non-rapid-fire gun, then this combination is obviously not very suitable, especially with the increasing threat of torpedoes.

But even so, the Great Heng people still hope to buy a battleship of the Mongol Khanate with enough secondary guns, especially the forty mm rapid-fire gun, there is no secrecy in this thing, all countries basically have machine guns based on heavy machine guns, and the country uses multi-barreled revolver rapid-fire guns, the maximum caliber can be 57 mm.

The machine guns of the Daheng people are also very complete, 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 55 mm, some of which are equipped by themselves, and some are also used for export.

However, after the third phase of the naval development plan, the center of gravity of the navy has been inclined to the 40mm secondary gun, and the performance of this rapid-fire secondary gun is very good, the power is large, and the firing range is also good.

In the face of the dissatisfaction of the Mongol Khanate with the secondary guns of the battleships, after consultations between the two sides, the two sides readjusted the layout of the secondary guns, reduced the number of 150-mm secondary guns, replaced them with some 120-mm secondary guns, and canceled the 75-mm secondary guns.

Not to mention, the Mongols were very satisfied with the 55mm cannon of the Great Heng Empire, believing that the rapid-fire cannon was not small enough to deal enough damage to a new type of warship, and at the same time the rapid-fire gun was also very high.

The Mongol Khanate tried to use a large number of 55-mm rapid-fire guns against those torpedo boats, and their idea could not be said to be wrong, after all, the current torpedo boats are only a few dozen tons, and 100 tons are relatively large, while 200 tons are generally large torpedo boats.

The 55-mm revolver cannon was enough to inflict greater damage on them.

At the same time, with the 20 mm machine gun as an auxiliary, the firepower of this secondary gun is already relatively sufficient, and the most important thing is that these two secondary guns are old guns, which are very cheap.

After some testing, the designers of Daheng felt that this was indeed possible, although the power was far inferior to the combination of a 75mm rapid-fire gun and a 40mm rapid-fire gun, but in the case that the tube retreat rapid-fire gun could not be exported, replacing the 75mm rapid-fire gun with a 55mm rapid-fire gun was already the most reliable plan.

Therefore, the designers of Daheng also agreed to the combination of 150 mm plus 120 mm and 55 mm and 20 mm secondary guns, but the designers of Daheng still strongly recommended that they be equipped with enough 55 mm revolter guns, otherwise the self-protection ability in the face of torpedo boats is too poor.

In this regard, the Mongol Khanate also agreed after calculating the funds on hand.

After such a toss, the Daheng Empire also intends to apply this secondary artillery matching scheme to other foreign trade warships, and sell it to customers as the main foreign trade secondary artillery scheme before the Daheng Empire allows the export of rapid-fire guns.

As for the future, it will naturally be a direct export of rapid-fire guns in the future, which will be much simpler and more convenient.

It is impossible for the rapid-fire cannon of the Daheng people not to be exported all the time, and when it is impossible to keep it secret, or other countries have also developed it, then the Daheng Empire will release the restrictions, just like the composite rangefinder, it was not hidden before, and even the Orns did not give it.

But after all, they couldn't hide it for too long, and the engineers of the Krull Kingdom just glanced at the telescope from a distance, and then combined with the information collected by the intelligence officers, they figured out the principle......

When the principle was discovered, this combined rangefinder could not be kept secret at once, the Krull Kingdom, the Walia Empire and other powerful countries were successively copied and subordinated, the Daheng Empire saw that this thing could not be kept secret, and directly released the restrictions for global promotion, as a result, now the combined rangefinder has become the standard configuration of naval warships of various countries, even the old warships will be equipped with a combined rangefinder, which is also to let the Daheng Empire export a large number of combined rangecontrollers, making a lot of money.

The same is true for rapid-fire guns, and when other countries discover the secrets in the future, the Daheng Empire will definitely let go of the export of rapid-fire guns, after all, as a principled arms dealer, it will not be able to make money from exports when the time comes.

For the secondary artillery, the designers of Daheng strongly asked for more equipment, but for other accessories, the Mongol Khanate asked to weaken that it is not good to object, after all, if you don't agree, people will come directly, the money is so much, you add accessories is also this price, and no accessories are also this price!

As a result, many of the accessories were cut off, and the number of lifeboats in the Mongol Khanate was cut by half......

If the battleships are sunk, then the officers and men on the ships will have no face to go back alive, and even if they go back, there will be no other battleships for them to drive, so there is no need for lifeboats.

In this regard, the designers of Daheng said in addition to saying: "You are so cruel to yourself!" I couldn't say anything else.

The two sides negotiated for more than a month, and finally finalized the contract.

When the representatives of both sides formally signed the contract, the negotiators on both sides were greatly relieved.

Speaking of which, the specific negotiators on both sides are not easy tasks, and the Mongols want to build a strong fleet with limited funds, and also hope to obtain a certain ability to build their own warships.

The negotiators on the side of the Great Heng Empire hope to strive for more benefits for the Empire.

After all, this is a super large order with a total amount of 50 million Heng Yuan, and it will be hundreds of thousands or millions of Heng Yuan if it floats casually, and if you don't do it, you will be the sinners of your respective countries.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Emperor Lin Ziran came forward to a banquet for Prince Sani of the Mongol Khanate, talking about the traditional friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries, the future of the peaceful development of the Blue Star, the open door, and the importance of free trade to world peace and the people of all countries.

Listening to Lin Ziran talking about the open door and free trade, Prince Sani greeted him with a smile on the surface, and he was also hehe in his heart!

If we open the door to you, the domestic agriculture will be overwhelmed by your cheap food in minutes!

Besides, why don't you Daheng Empire cancel the high tariff policy of trade protection with a wide variety of names and complete types, you Daheng people know that they only reduce tariffs on some urgently needed materials, but adopt high tariffs on some ordinary industrial products that can be produced by themselves.

You're not stupid, and I'm not stupid!

In recent years, the Daheng Empire likes to talk about open doors, free trade, etc., in public, and said that the Daheng Empire has successively lowered the tariffs of dozens of categories of imported goods in recent years, and will further reduce the tariffs on various imported goods, but you look at what commodities the Daheng Empire has lowered tariffs?

Grain, oil and the like

Is there that fool who will export grain to Daheng? I'm afraid I'm going to lose to my grandmother's house.

Petroleum products, fools know that the Daheng Empire is the largest, even an oil-producing country, the only oil exporter, and it is impossible for others to export oil to Daheng.

For some industrial products, such as textiles, especially cloth and woolen materials, the Daheng Empire has never lowered tariffs, which are so high that other people's textiles can only be sold as luxury jewelry.

More than 98 percent of the textile market in the Daheng Empire is occupied by domestic textiles, and only two percentage points are left for high-end textiles from various countries.

The only thing that is relatively fair is the high-end mechanical products, the tariffs are moderate, but they are not low there, this is still the case that the people of Daheng need these advanced industrial products, but where the empire can produce its own mechanical products, all high tariffs.

Otherwise, there would not be so many countries that have also taken countermeasures with high tariffs on some of Daheng's industrial products.

Trade protection is the mainstream of international trade in these years!

Everyone wants to develop on their own, and they don't want other products to impact their own market.

Prince Sani listened to Lin Ziran talk about open doors and free trade, so he naturally listened to it, but he didn't know that Lin Ziran really thought so.

After seven or eight years of development, now the Daheng Empire's domestic industries in all aspects have been relatively mature, not to mention the traditional advantageous industries of agriculture and animal husbandry, the Daheng Empire has invested countless funds in recent years to introduce machinery and equipment to upgrade the domestic industrial system.

Nowadays, many domestic industries, although they are still slightly behind, have basically kept up, and there will not be a huge gap as before.

At the same time, the labor cost of the Daheng Empire is also lower than that of several powerful countries such as the Krull Kingdom and the Walya Empire, so the overall cost is lower.

At this time, the industrial products of the Daheng Empire, especially the industrial products that do not have much technical content, such as textiles, etc., have begun to be competitive in the international market, and the use of low-price strategies has gradually opened the low-end markets of many countries.

When the export of commodities increased, especially the proportion of industrial products gradually increased, the international trade strategy of the Daheng Empire also gradually changed!

This can be seen from the fact that the Great Heng Empire frequently talks about open doors and free trade in diplomatic occasions!

The Great Heng Empire has begun to transform at the diplomatic level to support the huge number of Great Heng goods to the international market!
