"Moreover, how do you know that our Huaxia Empire only has one heavy machine gun that can be used? If that's all there is to it, then how can we be invincible in the face of the Four-Nation Alliance? Our Chinese Emperor is not only a famous general, but also a great inventor, and our Liaoyuan No. 1 and No. 2 rifles are also not inferior to European rifles, and even surpassed! We've got grenades, and we've got more advanced artillery, it's just that it hasn't been shown yet......"

Qiu Qingfei faced Bismarck and Ron, talking and laughing freely, and his words made Bismarck's heart pound. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Weapons, resources, manpower!

Indeed, the Chinese Empire is not without its own advantages, but has great advantages, if China's resources can be sold to Prussia in a steady stream, for the future development of Prussia, will form a huge boost!

"Mr. Earl, Mr. Counselor, let's return to the topic of heavy machine guns, we still have a strong intention to cooperate with each other, as two great nations suppressed by Britain and France and other powers, they should have helped each other, shouldn't they?"

Ron on the side laughed.

Shi Dakai nodded and asked, "General Moltke, I don't know how many heavy machine guns your country wants to purchase from the country?" In addition, the caliber of heavy machine gun bullets is not the same as rifle bullets, and at the same time, we need a specific type of ammunition produced by our Jinan Arsenal, how many bullets do you need? ”

Moltke forgot Bismarck's glance, and Bismarck nodded, Moltke replied.

"Mr. Count, we, the Kingdom of Prussia, hope to be able to purchase 5,000 heavy machine guns from your country, in three batches, the first batch of 2,000 heavy machine guns, hoping to arrive within half a year, the second batch of 2,000 units, which will be supplied from the end of the second year, the third batch of 1,000 heavy machine guns, hoping to be able to complete the delivery by the end of the third year, at the same time, we hope to be able to purchase 300,000 boxes of heavy machine gun bullets from your country at one time, and before the end of the second year, your country needs to supply 500,000 boxes of heavy machine gun bullets to the Kingdom of Prussia again!"

5,000 heavy machine guns, 800,000 boxes of ammunition!

Shi Dakai's head dizzed for a moment, a strong country really deserves to be a strong country, as far as I know, even the four divisions of the Lu army, combined, are equipped with only four hundred heavy machine guns! Even if the entire Chinese People's Army were to be equipped with heavy machine guns, it would only take less than 2,000 units! Now Prussia needs 5,000 heavy machine guns and 800,000 boxes of bullets, you know, in the entire War of the Five Nations, the Lu army fired less than 500,000 boxes of bullets!

"General Moltke, I have to say, your appetite is too big, five thousand heavy machine guns, that's five thousand heavy machine guns, even if it is the Jinan Arsenal, full production, it is enough for us to produce for a year, and in addition to your country, our Chinese People's Army also needs nearly two thousand in the process of expansion, and we also need to supply the needs of other countries, this number is difficult to achieve......"

"Monsieur Count, you must also know what a complicated and bad situation we are facing now, Germany needs to be unified, we need to defeat the powerful Kingdom of Austria, after reunification, we will face the threat of force from an even more powerful French Empire, they will definitely not allow the emergence of a country on the European continent that can threaten their European hegemony, in ten to fifteen years, we will face two large-scale wars, and the number of troops involved will not be the first million, you say, for Prussia, Is five thousand heavy machine guns a lot? ”

Moltke asked rhetorically.

A war on the scale of millions of armies!

Shi Dakai sounded a little numb in his scalp, such a large-scale war has never happened even in a populous country like China! And it's a war with well-armed guns! It is even more unheard of, such a large-scale and high-intensity war, the consumption of weapons and ammunition is indeed too amazing!

"General Moltke, have you ever thought about how much money does it cost to have five thousand heavy machine guns? According to the price of a heavy machine gun in China, it is two thousand taels of silver, which is converted into pounds, and there are also three or four hundred pounds, and five thousand heavy machine guns, which means a huge amount of money of one and a half million pounds! Even if your country is rich, you may not be able to afford such a large amount of wealth......"

"What? A heavy machine gun, you actually asked for two thousand taels of silver? You're robbing! Robbery! ”

Moltke is really in a hurry, it's not that Prussia can't pay 1.5 million pounds, but now Prussia's finances are also very tight, and it is extremely difficult for Prussia to take out such a huge amount of money in one go, after all, they have not unified Germany, and their comprehensive national strength is far inferior to England and France.

"Of course!"

Shi Dakai replied: "General Moltke, scarcity is expensive, you must know that as long as we want, the heavy machine gun will really be in short supply, absolutely in short supply, Britain, France and even Austria will go to China to buy it with pounds, and its own cost has reached hundreds of taels of silver, arms trade, which one is not a huge profit?" ”

Moltzden was choked up, seller's market, you can buy if you want, you don't want to buy, don't force it, anyway, the heavy machine gun definitely doesn't worry about not being able to sell!

"Monsieur Count, not only do we want to buy these heavy machine guns, but we also demand that your country not sell them to the Austrians and the French, because they will be the most formidable enemy we will face in Prussia in the future!"

Bismarck interjected suddenly.

Shi Dakai's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Mr. Bismarck, in world trade, all countries pursue free trade, and no country has the right to interfere in the trade of other countries, so your request is too rude......

Bismarck replied: "You must also know that if Austria and France use heavy machine guns in a future war, how much loss will be inflicted on us, and such losses we cannot afford!" You have to do it anyway! This is the basis for us to establish in-depth cooperation! ”

Shi Dakai shook his head and didn't speak, he had no right to agree to this matter, and such a thing was easy to cause criticism from other countries, and it was not good for the country's reputation.

Qiu Qingfei, who was on the side, said in a deep voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, if we don't agree to the trade request between France and Austria, then we will lose a huge amount of profits, and the relationship with the two countries will deteriorate, and such a consequence is something that no country is willing to bear, don't you say?" Our interests have been harmed, and our Majesty has said that all our actions are carried out on the premise of not harming the interests of our own country, and I ask for your understanding......"
