Cano listened, and neither refuted nor immediately expressed support. He knew that the army was the basic plate of the Bonaparte family, and it was unlikely that they would go to the army. However, it is precisely because the army is the basic plate of the Bonaparte family that Joseph and the others will definitely not reduce the treatment of the soldiers, so the reduction of military expenses will most likely fall on equipment or training.

After thinking about it, Kano said: "I don't have too many opinions, so I'll just say two points. ”

He paused, and then said, "First, when you sell weapons abroad, you must not ...... Well, Joseph, I know what you're trying to say, are you trying to say that the weapons you sell to foreigners are basically monkey versions? However, do foreigners know that they are buying the monkey version? ”

"How do you let them know?" Joseph said, "Otherwise, things won't sell." ”

"Then you say, if they look at the things they have in their hands more than we do, and they look at the things that seem to be about the same, do you think people will have the idea of taking risks? Let me ask you again, is what you sell them better than what they already have? Is it possible for them to have the illusion that they have become much stronger? Kano asked again.

"This one really could be there." Joseph nodded.

"So, you see, we have to let them know that the weapon they're buying is the monkey version of the weapon. The weapons in their hands are like monkeys and people compared to us. Kano said.

"It's going to affect our revenue." Joseph said.

"No, Joseph." "They already know how far they are from where they were, and now it's just a matter of letting them know how far they are from us." If they don't buy our monkey weapons, they won't be able to beat not only us, but their neighbors too. And even the more they understand that they are not our opponents, the more they will feel the need to buy our weapons, even if it is our monkey version. ”

"Dizzy, isn't this the idea of paying protection money?" Joseph almost slapped himself in the face, as a traverser, he actually needed an indigenous to remind himself of this set of methods that the future generations had played rotten, this is simply ...... What a shame! It's really cold, it's really TM's cold!

In later generations, when the term monkey version of the weapon is mentioned, generally speaking, the first thing that comes to mind is always Da Mao, but in fact, another superpower, the lighthouse country, is not bad at all when it sells the monkey version. For example, when buying a tank, remove the most critical depleted uranium armor and replace it with the first composite armor used before the development of depleted uranium armor. (Because the skill tree of the depleted uranium armor is lit up, the skill on the side of the normal composite armor has not been clicked)

The arms trade has always been procured by experts, so don't those countries that buy lighthouse tanks know what it is to replace their depleted uranium armor with lighthouse tanks? But the Monkey version of Lighthouse Nation still sells well, why?

First of all, the Beacon Nation Monkey version is indeed not as good as the Beacon Nation's original, but it is also better than their own production, and they can't even produce it themselves. Secondly, if you buy the Beacon Country's monkey version of the weapon, you pay a protection fee to the Beacon Country, so except for the Beacon Country, no one else can bully you casually. Therefore, whether the weapon is good or not is not sold or not, and whether the thing is really good, is not necessarily particularly related.

Of course, to get such an effect, the best way is to let France find an eye-catching, easy-to-fight role, and clean it up, and the weapons will naturally sell immediately. It will be like after the Lighthouse Nation cleaned up the stupid big wood. The problem, however, is that there really isn't a single target to be beaten up on the continent for the time being. Austria, which is basically not a hostile country anymore, is no good in fighting them. As for Russia, it's not that it can't fight, but it's still too far away, not to mention, Russia is not the kind of stupid big wood that has no trouble after fighting.

Since there is nothing to fight directly, we can only refer to the practice of the Da Mao family and make a "Western-81 military exercise" to scare and scare them.

Of course, an exercise of the scale of the "Western-81 military exercise" of the Da Mao family mobilized ten group armies, more than 300,000 troops, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, and thousands of various aircraft. A military exercise of this scale would not have been thought of in Joseph's lifetime, or even in France's lifetime.

Moreover, the exercises are to save money and buy weapons, and military exercises such as the "West-81 military exercise" are also too expensive.

However, there is still one thing worth learning from the "West-81", that is, it generously invites imaginary enemies to watch the exercise and scares them to death. Joseph felt that France could also invite those who might still have fantasies to come and let them see with their own eyes what a "high-tech war" would look like, scare them to death, and by the way, advertise French weapons a lot.

"Joseph, your eyes lit up, did you think of something again?" Kano had worked with Joseph for many years and was quite familiar with him, and when you saw his expression, you knew he must have something in mind.

"Shall we organize a joint military exercise and invite 'friends' from other countries to watch it?" Joseph said.

"You mean, show your claws in this exercise. Give it to our 'friends'? Kano also came to the momentum, "Well, let's discuss it together, first of all, the first question is, what abilities do we need to show them?" ”

"the ability to maneuver quickly, especially in heavy firepower units, the ability of artillery to maneuver quickly; Powerful and swift firepower, such as rear-loading guns and shrapnels; Strong attacking ability, under the cover of firepower, trench excavation and the use of blasters and trench guns......" Joseph counted on his fingers.

"There's one thing you don't mention, but it's a thing that could be shown to others." Kano said.

"What's that?" Joseph asked.

"Navy!" "It's the Navy that really stimulates people and forces them to buy weapons from you quickly," Kano said. Let the 'Free Trade' put on a good show in naval exercises how to undermine free trade, and then sell similar warships, anyway, as far as I know, you're already building newer things......"

"I promised Napoleon that the rear-loading guns would not be sold, at least not until the next generation of updated rear-loading guns appeared." Joseph said, "But the monkey version of the 'Free Trade Number' can be sold as you like." Well, let them show their hands in the exercises first, and then we will sell it to Turkey, or simply to the British......"
