Chapter 718 Military R&D Cooperation

Jiang Wanye shook his head: "Don't count on Krull's side now, we have already tried it through diplomatic channels, it is impossible to relax the restrictions, even if it is purchased through a third country, it is estimated that the number will not be very large, and if the quantity is large, it will be exposed, and finally lose the lost channel, so the follow-up equipment imports, I'm afraid we still have to rely on Valia and Kekel's side!" ”

"Their two major industrial powers should have their own good things, and later our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will exert pressure to let them come up with the best things!"

Jiang Wanye knew very well that when he came out to purchase equipment this time, what he wanted was the top equipment, if it was not the top equipment of the contemporary era, it would be meaningless to the empire at all.

It's not that the empire can't produce all kinds of machine tools and equipment, but any equipment that can be called famous, the empire can basically get it, otherwise why call itself an industrial country!

It's just that there is still a gap between many of the machinery and equipment of the empire's assets compared with the international first-class level.

At present, many precision processing factories in China use domestic goods for rough processing when processing, and then use equipment imported from the Kingdom of Krull for final finishing when it is almost done.

It can be seen that the difference between the machining accuracy of domestic machine tools and imported machine tools!

When you go to Valia and other countries to purchase equipment, you want high-end goods that can replace the equipment of the Krull Kingdom, not ordinary goods that are not much better than the Empire's own equipment.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wanye, as a diplomat, gave feedback to the Walya Empire, bluntly saying that if you only have these things, then this visit can be over, our task is very intense, the itinerary is very intensive, and there is no time to waste on these ordinary goods.

Hearing this, the official representative of the Valya Empire had not yet spoken, and the boss of the Daryl Company stood up: Please stay, we still have a lot of good things!

In the face of super large orders, the boss of Daryl's company is too lazy to deal with those officials who say not to take out the best things easily, and to strive for more benefits for the empire and so on.

The benefits of the country are my business, Lao Tzu only needs to order!

Of course, he said that he couldn't say that, but said: "But the Kyle people are not worse than us in many fields, and even strengthen us, if you let them go now, when they get to the Kekel people, don't expect to get this order!" ”

In order to compete for orders, Daryl Company couldn't care too much, so they directly threw aside the officials of their country, dragged Daheng people to another factory, and then introduced their top equipment one by one.

After the introduction, he also asked the Daheng Empire if he wanted to buy naval guns or the like, saying that they were developing a 350 mm 35 times caliber naval gun, and the power was absolutely touching.

The people of Daheng are naturally interested, but they are not interested in the naval guns themselves, and the empire is interested in the technology of producing such large-caliber long-barreled naval guns.

If this technology is brought back, maybe it will be possible to mass-produce 300 mm and 40 times the caliber of naval guns.

Last month, the Imperial Jingzhou Machinery Company began to make a prototype of a 300-millimeter and 40-caliber naval gun, but the performance was not up to standard and could not be mass-produced, and it has been tossing and improving the process recently.

However, this is much more difficult than simply purchasing equipment, as soon as the Daheng Empire mentioned it, they directly refused, and the finished naval guns could be provided, and the equipment could also be sold, and it would not even be sold at the same high price as the Krull people.

But detailed technologies such as the production process of large-caliber naval guns, don't count on it, this is where their company is based, and it can even be said that it is the defense foundation of the Valya Empire, it is impossible to sell.

The core products only sell finished products and do not sell technology, which is also a general consensus of the three major industrial powers in contemporary national trade.

The Daheng Empire has imported more high-end equipment from the Krull Kingdom, and the hardware equipment in the naval gun factory of Jingzhou Machinery Company is theoretically enough to produce 400 mm and 50 times the caliber of naval guns.

But can it be made?

No!

Therefore, the failure to buy was also within the expectations of Jiang Wanye and others, so they did not force it, but continued to talk about the purchase of cutting-edge equipment.

When Jiang Wanye led part of the delegation to talk in Daryl's company, many other groups of members of the mission also went to many large enterprises in the Valya Empire to discuss the purchase of equipment and technology.

In this regard, the official of the Valia Empire is very cooperative, as long as it does not involve the core technology, the ordinary technology is basically sold for money, of course, the price is not cheap, as for the equipment, but everything that is available, Daheng people also want to buy it.

Anyway, their equipment is really not the best in the world, the world's top industrial equipment is in the hands of the Kruhr people, and they are at most at the same level as the Krull people in some fields.

In addition to high-end equipment procurement and technology transfer, there are other purchases, but they are all ordinary goods.

At the same time as imports, or exports!

The Daheng Empire will negotiate with the Walya Empire, in addition to grain, grain processing products, mineral products and other traditional export materials of Daheng, it will also talk about some primary processed products such as crude steel and civilian commodities, and kerosene is naturally one of the major categories.

The trade between the two sides belongs to the trade that comes and goes, and it is impossible to say that the Daheng Empire only imports from the Walya Empire, but does not export goods to the Walya Empire, otherwise it will be hundreds of millions of trade at every turn, and the empire will not have so much gold for them.

This kind of commercial negotiation led at the national level is a package involving many industries, strictly speaking, it is actually a trade exchange of goods, in order to achieve a trade balance as much as possible.

As the saying goes, if you don't suffer, I won't suffer!

In the eyes of the official high-level officials, this is not only industrial and commercial cooperation, but also a prelude to the cooperation between the two countries against the Krull Kingdom.

Of course, any military alliance or anything like that is impossible, if this Great Heng Empire forms any military alliance with the Valya Empire, I'm afraid that the Krull Kingdom will be completely berserk.

To the east is the Valya Empire, the second most powerful country in the world; To the west is the newly rising and powerful Great Heng Empire, and if the two countries form an alliance against the Krull Kingdom, the Krull Kingdom in the middle will not have to live.

I'm afraid that before the alliance has been reached, the Krull Kingdom will start a war first, and fight the Walya Empire on the side first.

What, the Walya Empire and the Krull Kingdom are only separated by a strait dozens of kilometers wide, and with the current strength of the Krull Kingdom's navy, it doesn't need to use all its strength, only half of its strength can completely block the coast of the Walya Empire.

If the sea communication is blocked, it will be very uncomfortable for the Walya Empire, because their mainland area is not large, and their industrial development is more dependent on international trade.

Similarly, although the current naval strength of the Great Heng Empire is good, the navy of the Krull Kingdom is too perverted, even if it cannot block the coastal line of the Great Heng Empire, but if it wanders around the periphery, it is enough to cut off the foreign maritime trade of the Great Heng Empire.

Therefore, on the issue of alliance, in fact, both sides intend to make a military alliance against the world boss of the Krull Kingdom, but whether it is the Walia Empire or the Daheng Empire, they are still more afraid of the Krull Kingdom, and they are not willing to fight with the world boss in the current period of industrial development.

Therefore, an alliance between them is not possible until the situation deteriorates further.

After all, judging from the diplomatic conventions and international situation on the contemporary Blue Star, there is basically no difference between the alliance between the Great Heng Empire and Walia and the direct declaration of war on the Krull Kingdom, and in order to avoid being attacked from both sides, they will definitely take advantage of the absolute superiority of the current navy to strike first.

Don't underestimate the world boss of the Krull Kingdom!

In the past fifty or sixty years, the Krull Kingdom has beaten the powerful countries of the Valya Empire, the Kekel Empire, and the Gafia Empire one by one, and there are even more small and medium-sized countries that have been fought.

Even though they fought in the Orr War, it was only a colonial war after all, and winning or losing actually could not affect the core interests of the Krull Kingdom, and in the end, it was not the same as forcing the Orr Kingdom to pay a high price of 500 million Hengyuan indemnity in exchange for peace when it was not defeated and even the mainland was not attacked on a large scale.

Despising the boss of the world and blindly getting yourself into the middle of the war will end badly!

Both the high-ranking officials of the empire and the high-ranking officials of the Walya Empire are very aware of this, so they are eyebrows, but everyone tacitly agrees not to talk about military alliances or anything like that.

However, there is a lot of cooperation in other areas, and in addition to industrial and commercial cooperation, the two countries have also reached a weapons research and development project to cooperate in the development of torpedo technology.

What's that, the torpedo technology of the two countries is actually quite scum, the best contemporary torpedo technology should be the Gafia Empire, they are the first country to invent and apply torpedoes in actual combat, and the torpedo technology of the Krull Kingdom is naturally good, even if it is followed up later, but the technology is strong, and it can be done with a little copy, and the performance is still very good.

The torpedo technology of the Daheng Empire was stolen at the beginning, not that it couldn't be bought, but that foreign exchange was precious at that time, and he was reluctant to spend money, so he secretly got samples and came back to study them himself.

This seems to be okay with the technical level, but in fact, it is just like that, in the Orr War, the torpedoes of the Daheng Empire hit the enemy ship many times, but there was no embarrassing situation of exploding.
