"General Chen, please come here, please."

An officer introduced Chen Shaokuan in English. "This is the largest naval shipyard in our country, the Varna Naval Shipyard, which is capable of building three battleships at the same time. Its largest dock is 300 meters long and 50 meters wide, capable of building warships up to 60,000 tons. But at the moment we can't build that big warship, because it's too wasteful. ”

Chen Shaokuan listened enviously to the introduction of this naval officer, not to mention building 60,000 tons of warships, even cruisers of thousands of tons could not be built.

After introducing the dock, the officer pointed to a steel monster that was about to be outfitted. "This is the newest battleship of our country at present, Vlad, which is equipped with a 406-caliber cannon capable of dealing with all the warships in the world at present. This is also the crystallization of China's shipbuilding industry. ”

Looking at the steel giant beast outfitting on the side, there were 9 giant cannons that could hold one person, and Chen Shaokuan's eyes were even straighter. If such sea behemoths were to appear in East Asia, no one would be their match. Even the Nagato-class battleships, which Japan should be proud of, could not be its opponent.

Not to mention anything else, the speed is far beyond Nagato, and the advantage of speed in naval battles is needless to say.

After introducing the industrial crystallization battleship, the naval officer pointed to a small battleship docked in the distance. "This is our heavy cruiser USS Kirtenu, whose maximum speed of 34.5 knots is also capable of almost all the tasks of the Navy."

This is the latest Romanian heavy cruiser, and the biggest change from the previous heavy cruiser is the increased armor and speed. Of course, to achieve such a balance, it is naturally to exceed the standard in tonnage.

Compared with the previous Brepista with a standard displacement of 11,000 tons, the Kirtenu has a standard displacement of 13,500 tons and a full load of 15,850 tons. It is even more excessive than the Deutsche class, which is seriously exceeded.

What made Romania so unscrupulous was the arrival of the Washington Naval Treaty. Italy also withdrew from the naval treaty after Japan refused to renew it, which also marked the end of the naval holiday. Naturally, Romania will no longer comply with this treaty. Therefore, in order to deal with a large number of 10,000-ton heavy cruisers from other countries, this class of heavy cruisers was born.

It should be noted here that this was also the last heavy cruiser of Romania.

Because after comparing the cost and role, the Navy still thinks that the role of heavy cruisers is a bit chicken. It can't be bombarded on the battle line, and the usual escort mission is useless. Therefore, after comparison, it is still believed that either the continued construction of battleships, or the construction of light cruisers and destroyers, is more in line with the actual needs of the Romanian Navy.

As for Chen Shaokuan, whose eyes were red, he naturally knew his own funds. This time, he just came to purchase 4 destroyers and 3 submarines, and these funds are not enough to purchase any one in front of him.

When Chen Shaokuan felt sorry for seeing that he couldn't buy good things, Du Yuming was also worried about his wallet not enough.

"This is the R10 light tank that our country is able to provide, and the total weight of the tank is only 17.9 tons, which is perfectly suitable for the passage of roads and bridges in your country. Despite the small tonnage of this tank, the tank is equipped with a 50 mm tank gun that is more than enough to deal with the armored forces of your country's imaginary enemy, Japan. And the armor of the tank was also enough to cope with the Japanese 37-mm guns. The maximum travel speed is 52 km/h and the maximum range is 260 km/h. Being able to quickly pursue opponents and get out of battle is the most suitable tank for your country. ”

Listening to the leading officer introduce the R10 tank in front of him, Du Yuming had to admit that the other party had completely said that he was in his heart. Even Gui Yongqing, who was following him on the side, had a fine light on his face, impressed by the excellent performance of this tank.

"Brother Guangting, the performance of this tank is too good, it is really worth buying."

After listening to Gui Yongqing's evaluation in his hometown, Du Yuming had a headache. Because good performance, there must be a worthy price, this is the unchanging truth.

However, Du Yuming, who was a little lucky, still asked. "How much does this tank cost?"

"140,000 lei each, if you buy more than 80 cars, then we can also give a 5% price reduction."

Is this price high? It is not high at all, and the current purchase price of the Romanian military has reached 110,000 lei, which is really a conscience price compared to the arms sales of other countries. At present, the world's general arms sales are 50 percent higher than those of domestic purchases, which can be regarded as a genuinely low price.

However, even if it is a low price, it also discourages Du Yuming's desire to buy. There is no way, if you buy this tank, then the money for this purchase is simply not enough to form an armored division. Although the armored divisions of the Republic of China are not of the same level as Romania, they are still unaffordable.

Because the armored division formed by Du Yuming this time is composed of two motorized infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an armored regiment, and other auxiliary units, there are only more than 11,000 people, and its equipment is only more than 120 tanks (9X3X4+6).

If the R10 tank is purchased, the cost of the tank alone will be more than 17 million lei, not counting the cost of other artillery vehicles. If you add these and spare parts, the cost is more than 30 million lei. This is enough to form several infantry divisions, and Du Yuming does not think that the armored division he has formed is worth the cost of making the chairman of the committee spend so much.

So Du Yuming could only endure not looking at this tank and asked. "Are there any other tanks that are cheaper?"

As soon as he thought of it, the officer replied. "Yes."

"Then take me to see it."

Walking to the other end, the officer pointed to the tank in front of him. "This is the Jackal IV tank that our country is currently equipped with, which has a total weight of 18.1 tons, and its 47 mm tank gun is also capable of dealing with the threat from Japan. Moreover, its frontal armor reached 35 mm, which was basically able to deal with the 37 mm guns of Japanese tanks. Its top speed is 35 km/h and its maximum range is 180 km/h. ”

As for the performance of the Jackal IV tank, Du Yuming was basically satisfied. Although the performance of the R10 tank just seen has decreased a lot, it is enough to deal with the Japanese Type 89 and Type 95 tanks.

So Du Yuming took the opportunity to ask the question he was most concerned about. "How much does this tank cost?"

"The price is 80,000 lei each."

It seems that there will be no discount this time.

However, after hearing this offer, Du Yuming felt that the cost performance was good. This is at least compared to the R10 just now, Du Yuming feels that this Jackal IV tank is more suitable for himself, after all, his budget is not much.

"Okay, let's take this one."
