With a "snap", Baron Vittorio Kuniberti closed the file in his hand and asked with a serious face: "The Argentines want to buy Krupp artillery to equip their warships?" ”

"If nothing else, they will arrive on German soil in three days." The secretary on the side whispered.

"This is an opportunity! The first take-out order for the Munich-class armored cruiser is coming out! The baron said with some excitement. Make an appointment with Mr. Foss, with whom I would like to discuss the Argentine problem! ”

Baron Vittorio is definitely the strongest business man under the Traverser! Even the traverser suspects that he is even better at doing sales than his shipbuilding skills!

For example, when the boss proposes that you sell me 20,000 yuan this month, the former will guarantee to complete the task at most, while the latter will ask me what benefits you give me if I sell 40,000 yuan!

And now the baron belongs to the latter, not just in words, but in practice! He has been staring at the Argentines for a long time! Ever since the Chileans decided to order an ironclad of the 2nd rank of Captain Pratt from the French, he had his eye on the Argentine!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female! Especially at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when capitalism was transformed into imperialism, the productive forces developed rapidly, and the world was about to be completely divided, in addition to the first-rate and second-rate powers such as Europe and the United States, some other small countries were also gearing up, watching their neighbors like wolves, ready to tear off a piece of meat from each other at any time! This is the case with Chile and Argentina!

Since 1870, the Italians (Argentina) in South America have looked at the British (Chile) in South America very unpleasantly, especially after the end of the Second Pacific War, after the Chileans cleanly dealt with the combined forces of Peru and Bolivia, and turned Bolivia into a landlocked country, Argentina found that the little guy with its own border of more than 4,000 kilometers was a little fierce!

Then, from 1885 onwards, the land border between the two countries was problematic again, and although the documents of both sides stated that the Andes Mountains were the dividing line, there were great differences in the exact division of the border. The Argentines believe that the border between the two countries should be divided by the highest peak of the Andes as the median line, while the Chileans believe that the natural watershed of the mountains should be the boundary between the two countries!

When the mouth could not resolve the differences, both sides considered using their fists to solve them, and the military expansion war of the two regional heroes began! And when the Chileans ordered a 6,900-ton Captain Pratt ironclad ship in France, the Argentines finally panicked, this thing their own fleet can't bear it!

"Get in touch with a Krupp representative at the shipyard. I have something to talk to him, so it's this afternoon! "At this time, the position of the baron can be said to be different from what it used to be, since the first shot of the Munich type armored cruiser, he is almost the most comfortable designer in Germany, and the Krupp company has also invested in the shipyard, and some things can be handed over to the Krupp company!

"Mr. Baron, the Argentines who came to our factory are here to buy artillery, and they have nothing to do with your business." Mr. House, the representative of Krupp, felt very strange, when did the Kingdom of Bavaria start to engage in naval artillery? Does it have a half-penny relationship between people buying artillery and their shipbuilding?

"Listen, tell your boss what I say, do what I say, and you can make more money." The baron didn't care about the other party's complaints, "Let the Argentines see the new Krupp 150MM rapid-fire gun and 280mm turret!" Use the latest picric high-explosive shells, and then we provide the target ship and 150 rounds of various ammunition, and you have only one mission, to sink the target ship with these high-explosive shells! ”

"You're burning money." Mr. House said, wiping a cold sweat. It's just a firepower observation, as for being so serious? As soon as this target ship and hundreds of shells are thrown, tens of thousands of marks will be gone!

"I do! Do as I say! I'm going to see this grand ******** on the third day of getting the Argentines on German soil! ”

And after the Krupp representative left, the baron contacted the media and military personnel, if it was just for a firepower observation, then naturally there was no need to go through a lot of trouble, the baron's plan was very big, if it was done, then there would be more than one order!

"You will never understand the true meaning of sales, your 10,000 words are not as good as a sentence from your own family!" After arranging a series of things, the baron muttered to himself pleasantly. "Wait, there are still some things to deal with, and the boss has to make decisions about these things himself!"

Two days later, Baron Vittorio's urgent telegram was delivered to the traverser's desk, and this telegram with a short article explained the following things! First, the Argentines intend to buy warships, and secondly, it is quite possible that they will go back to the British to buy battleships. Thirdly, the baron wanted to eat the order, and fourthly, in order not to let the British get their hands on it. He suggested pushing back the time when the British manufacturers got the armor!

"I'll go, this is taking advantage of the monopoly!" The traverser couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his men! The name of the new hardened armor has spread to the other side of the ocean, except for the Americans who continue to use their Harvey armor in line with the principle of supporting national industry, the first choice of other countries is Bavarian hardened armor, which is undoubtedly difficult to supply for the newly operating armor steel production plant.

"At most, we can only meet the needs of our country and another country!" The report of the head of the armor steel plant, Brutz, was also placed aside. If there is no such thing, the first batch of takeaway armor of the traverser should be given to Russia and Britain half, but if there is such a thing, then hehe!

"Tell the Russians that if they are willing to raise the price by £15 per tonne, then we can double the supply of the first batch!" The traverser decisively took advantage of this opportunity to slaughter the Russians fiercely! It's a seller's market anyway! Even if it adds £15, it's still more cost-effective than Harvey Armor plus shipping!

"In addition, the news should be told to the British later, and if the British ask why, they will say that the Russian side is bidding higher." The traverser commanded. And then the traverser dictated a reply, instructing the baron that the relevant preparations had been completed, and that he would take the Argentine's order and give him a salary increase!

"Damn, if His Royal Highness the Prince is not my boss, I will scold him for being shameless!" After seeing the reply from the traverser, the baron felt for the first time that his moral level was still above the baseline! At first, I just wanted to use the monopoly advantage to pit the British, after all, Europe is unique, and if you don't use this advantage, it's a crime against yourself! And in the hands of the traverser, by the way, the Russians were pitted again!

"Generally speaking, isn't it always that the more you order, the cheaper? Can it still be like this? "Baron Vittorio admired the wit of the traverser, but he was not optimistic about whether the Russians would buy it, because in his opinion, it was a bit contrary to common sense!

But a few days later, when he heard that the Russians had harvested all the armor for export at a high price of £140 per tonne, the Baron was completely wilted. He also specifically asked his boss why.

"Quite simply, we told the Russians about the Argentines coming to Germany to buy from Germany. And the Russians also got pictures of the Brom-Forss shipyard and the Argentines who thought that we were about to start producing takeaway warships, and that the export of armor steel would be further tightened. The traverser wrote in the letter.

"Compared to you, I am simply a pure angel." Monsieur Baron burst into tears!
