The committee had figured out how to respond to Nick's request, but Nick had come to the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mr. Nick, you said you need to go back and make a decision after discussing it with His Excellency the Governor."

Wu Zhengdao looked at the other party with a look of great surprise, he didn't say that earlier, he said earlier that he wanted to get this weapon very much, how did it suddenly change now, could it be that there is another hidden meaning here.

"Yes, although Australia's weapons are good, but I was a little anxious earlier, and I still need to consult His Excellency the Governor to make a decision on this matter, I hope you can understand."

Understand, of course Wu Zhengdao can understand, this is just right, it just saves how he wants to explain the prevarication and find a reason, and now the other party himself says that he needs to think about it, isn't that a good thing?

"Well, Mr. Nick, although you are interested in our weapons, I still need to tell you one thing, my government is quite strict about arms exports, I hope you can understand."

In later generations, such a major event as arms exports was quite strict, and some countries had strict restrictions on the export of high-end and sophisticated weapons, and they had formulated a treaty prohibiting countries outside the treaty from mastering technology, which to a certain extent could be said to have formed a monopoly.

In later generations, Western countries practiced a monopoly on technology exports, and even engaged in an agreement on Batumi, which banned the export of high-end technology and weapons.

Now that we have come to this era, both in terms of technology and strength, it is inevitable that it will surpass any country in this time and space, and it is inevitable to restrict the export of technology.

As a technical expert, Lin Wendong knows better than anyone else that the importance of technology and exporting weapons is nothing, but the other party must not be allowed to learn technology, once Westerners learn technology, it is difficult to say whether it will speed up the development of their industrialization process, after all, during this period, Western countries were cattle people put forward by several laws of later generations.

Once these cattle people are studied in Australian basic science, they will definitely speed up several times faster than on the original basis, which is inevitable.

Therefore, when Nick made a request to buy weapons, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was how to extend the distance between each other, and at the same time, if possible, let the exported weapons and the equipped weapons form a generation gap between one to two generations, leaving enough space for Australian scientists to have time to research new weapons.

It's just that Nick didn't want to say this, after all, the technology at this time was not as strictly protected by patents as in later generations, and everyone still existed between communication and joint exploration, so there was no limit.

In fact, the technology of Westerners is not a treasure in the eyes of the public, you must know that Australia has entered the era of industrial steam engines, which is in stark contrast to other countries that still rely on manpower.

As long as the descendants of the crossing do not die, there is absolutely no problem in maintaining the gap of 100 to 200 years ahead of the countries of the same period in terms of future science and technology, because this is already different from standing at the starting line.

Lin Wendong and a group of technical experts have preliminarily sorted out some technical data, which are currently restored by their industrial team, including drawings of flintlock pistols, ship designs, and steam engines.

Some things have been made by them, and some are based on memory, and they have not yet been made, just a general information, but these things are treasures, and it can be said that they are the current means of technical production in Australia.

These technical materials and some equipment can be said to be quite important, so Xu Renguo proposed that the originals of these things should be stored in Area 51, where they are heavily guarded, and even if someone wants to fight them in the future, they may not be able to get it.

It can be said that the committee did not agree to Nick's proposal, but at the same time, it hoped that weapons could be exported in the future, so Wu Zhengdao prevaricated the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to give up on his own initiative.

Wu Zhengdao told Nick that it was not so easy to buy weapons, but it was not impossible, in short, he didn't say anything, leaving a little leeway, so that it would be convenient to really export when the time came.

Wu Zhengdao, who returned to the executive committee to reinstate, told everyone what Nick thought, and asked everyone to analyze what he meant.

"In my opinion, Nick is probably afraid of causing a misunderstanding between us, after all, Australia and the Netherlands are not allies, and it is a bit bad to rashly bring this up, I think the captain is very steady, and I guess he mentioned a point or two."

Shen Tiejun expressed his opinion with a serious face, Nick is a soldier, and he must consider weapons first, not other factors, as for the captain, it is different, he may be out of more considerations, so it is possible for him to mention something.

In any case, but at least for now, it is a temporary solution to the current trouble, otherwise the Dutch will use transportation as a bargaining chip, and Australia will really have no way for a while.

Even though Nick gave up the idea of buying, the Executive Committee still issued an order that in the future, whether state-owned or private, technology and equipment related to military use that need to be exported must be reported, and the National Security Council will make a decision after discussion.

The National Security Council is a new body composed of heads of departments and representatives of the military, whose main role is to discuss issues related to Australia's security.

The export of technology and the export of weapons were also within the scope of their discussions, in short, they believed that they had the right to regulate and investigate the aspects of national security.

The chairmanship of the committee is rotated by the heads of various departments, and the representatives of the military play a supervisory role in this regard.

When the new plaque was hung outside the office of the Executive Committee, some people who did not know the truth of the melon-eating masses just watched a lively scene, and some people who understood were relieved a lot in their hearts, and the establishment of this National Security Committee also means that the restrictions on the export of technology from Western countries will be activated, and everyone will be happy for a while.

But for ordinary people, the establishment of such a new department really has nothing to do with them, at least it has no impact on their current lives, just as the Australian owner has become a new yamen.

In fact, there is still an impact on their lives, because in the following time, the executive committee requires all factories and mines to educate the workers they employ in this regard, and in some special positions, they must sign a confidentiality system and regulations to take up their posts, otherwise they are not allowed to take up posts, and they cannot casually disclose their work contents.
