Although the main purpose of Wu Zhengdao's visit to Batavia and Manila was to strengthen military exchanges between the two sides, train the recruits in actual combat ability, and at the same time understand the combat qualities and conventional tactics of the other side, the sale of weapons was also incidental.

If you want to cooperate with others, how can you do it without coming out with something, whether it is the Spaniards or the Dutch, they have to operate in this sea area earlier than the Australians, and all Australia can come up with is weapons and steamboats.

Of course, the existence of such anti-heaven technology as a steamship must not be exported, and the military senior member of the National Security Council made it clear that the export of steamships must be restricted, and they cannot go out for at least five years, and the distance between guns and cannons is not so large.

After all, the time for gun upgrading is very fast, as long as the funds and materials keep up, the military researcher assures that the development of higher-level guns is not a problem, the key is the material, materials science is a difficult point in Australia, and it may be a bit difficult to make a breakthrough.

How to say it, among the more than 500 people in the whole traversal, there are basically only a few people who study materials, and these people are still college students who have not graduated, and their theoretical knowledge is greater than practice, and they have not learned many things, and it would be good to be able to get synthetic steel out now.

Therefore, if you want to have too much hope for the entire material team, it is estimated that you should not think about it, but the upgrading of weapons does not completely require materials to pass the level, according to the meaning of the military, it is very good that weapons can be developed to the level of the First World War.

However, the development of weapons is the responsibility of the Military Research Institute, and what the National Security Council should do now is to study how much benefit the exported weapons can bring to Australia.

At present, it has been determined that the two export weapons are the 1640 rifle and the 26-pounder gun, both of which are the first generation of weapons developed in the early days, and if they are not compared with the weapons of later generations, these two are still very advanced and are the main equipment of the navy and army at present.

Although the National Security Council has agreed to export, the specific details of the plan still need to be worked out, otherwise the future arms export will be a trouble.

The entire conference room was filled with bigwigs from both the Australian military and the government, and as for the escort, they were basically the main group leaders.

"Xiao Wu sent us a telegram back, at present the Dutch are very interested in our weapons, and hope to obtain no less than two hundred rifles for export, you can tell me how much this number will change for the power between the Dutch and Spain."

"From the perspective of the situation, it should not be big, but if we agree, it means that the number of exports to Spain will increase, and whether this will have a certain impact on us in the future, I think this is the key."

The Spaniards and the Netherlands are likely to become Australia's enemies in the future, both in terms of race and expansion, these two countries are outsiders, and the main territory of Australia's external expansion is theirs, first of all, it is necessary to obtain territory from them, and it is impossible to maintain a cooperative relationship in the future.

The number of guns sold is really related to Australia's own interests in the future, but it is still very necessary to cooperate in the future and sell some guns, so as to not only unite the Dutch and Spaniards, but also use their power to develop themselves during this period.

"I think the number of guns exported every year still needs to be limited, otherwise the number of exports is too large, it is really not a good thing for us, although our guns use ammunition is different from theirs, but they only need to imitate our ammunition a little, it is still okay to use, but the performance is not very good."

Ma Dongming is the commander of the army, he knows the current situation best, it can be said that he does not want to export weapons, the main battle in the future is the army, the greatest casualties are also army soldiers, it is not easy to train a qualified soldier to come out, if it were not for the purpose of cultivating the army's actual combat experience this time, it is estimated that Ma Dongming would not be so easy to agree with the decision of the National Security Council.

The restriction on the number of arms exports can solve the problems caused by the Dutch and Spaniards after the continuous acquisition of new weapons, both of which are mainly colonial, not to mention that Van Diemen is still an expansionist, what if they really get such good guns and cannons, these guys run to the shores of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty indirectly said that the Zheng family was managing, and once the Dutch went to war with the Zheng family, the defeat of the Zheng family also meant that the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty would be hit hard.

"I don't think the total number of exports can exceed three hundred a year, and the strength of the entire Batavian Governorate is only a few thousand, and we must try to let the other side scatter these guns in various units."

Ma Dongming's suggestion is still very good anyway, at least it is better to control it from the source than from the end at that time.

"The Dutch agreed to the military exchange project, of course, as a cooperation object, they will also send an equal number of people to Australia for exchanges, saying that they are here for exchanges, but in fact, they are here to teach us how to use new weapons."

Wang Tiehammer explained to everyone the first information he received, which was originally not in everyone's plan, after all, it was very risky to let the Dutch bring soldiers in.

But the Dutch were cunning, and they came up with the same method, that is, the two sides sent people into each other's territory for military cooperation and exchanges.

In fact, this is also to prevent the Australians from doing anything wrong, Van Dimen is a shrewd person, he doesn't want the Far Eastern Empire he built up to be destroyed by others, so he came up with such a plan.

This condition is reasonable to say, after all, only in this way can the sincerity of both sides be demonstrated, so the National Security Council agreed to this decision.

"So that's why we're limiting the total amount of arms exports, and I suggest that the artillery that is exported be numbered, and we can only buy new ones after they are damaged, so that we can find out if the artillery is damaged or not."

In order to limit the military strength of the other party, Ma Dongming also made plans and tried his best, the purpose of which was to limit the two major forces from not having the force to target Australia, but from another aspect, it was not so easy to target Australia, and the coastal defense batteries in Chang'an Town alone were enough for them to eat for a while.

People like Nick are very surprised by the shore defense artillery, not to mention what other people will find themselves in when they see it.
