Chapter 1262: It's time to set off fireworks

However, then again, if these artillery pieces and shells were equipped with the Prussian Army in batches, then Prussia's military strength would definitely rise in a straight line, and the Prussian Army would no longer have to fear the invincible French artillery.

"Zhang, General Zhang, at what price do you plan to sell these artillery?"

Barak asked cautiously, after all, Prussia had already been slaughtered once, and Barak could not but act cautiously.

"Mr. Barak, I haven't given you a general introduction to the performance of these guns. The Howling Tiger series of artillery has just been developed and produced by us, and we are the only one in the world. Now it is divided into three kinds of field cannons: 80 mm, 90 mm, and 120 mm, all of which are breech-loading rifled runs, with the longest effective firing range of six kilometers, eight kilometers, and eleven kilometers respectively, and the net weight of the gun body is one ton, one and a half tons, and two tons, and the rate of fire is three rounds per minute, two rounds per minute, and five to six rounds in three minutes! As for the power of shells, you have already seen that in the world, artillery of a unified caliber, the power of any one cannot be compared with ours! Now in front of you is a field cannon of 90 mm caliber, how about it? ”

Barak nodded and exclaimed: "General Zhang, I have to say that this kind of artillery developed by your country, whether it is the range, rate of fire, or power, is already ahead of the same specification artillery of any country in the world, and the weight control of the gun body is still very reasonable, it is definitely the best in the world, but this price must not be cheap, right?" ”

"Price, I think with the performance of our current Howling Tiger series artillery, if it is taken to the world arms market, it will definitely be the most sought-after weapon, and we have not had time to equip many of these artillery guns, if they are given to your country, we will suffer a lot of losses. In terms of price, the open price of a 90-mm Howling Tiger gun is 30,000 marks, which is about 6,000 silver dollars when converted into silver dollars from our Chinese Empire, and the other two, an 80-mm gun costs 26,000 marks, and a 120-mm gun costs 36,000 marks......"

"What!"

Barak was stunned and dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he say: "General Zhang, you, you are robbing, take advantage of the fire to rob!" 30,000 marks, you know, now the price of the Krupp heavy gun that we have just developed in Prussia is only 20,000 marks! He's worth more than yours! ”

Zhang Chunping smiled faintly and replied: "Mr. Barak, you must know that no matter how expensive your country's Krupp heavy artillery is, the price of our Howling Tiger heavy artillery will not change. Marching with these artillery, one can imagine what the pace of your country's march will be slowed down. However, if you look at our artillery, in terms of weight, it is only one-third of the Krupp artillery of your country, and even the shells are one size smaller than the shells of your country, but the power of these shells is far superior to that of the Krupp heavy artillery. It not only ensures the mobility and speed of the artillery group, but also has a more powerful power than the Krupp artillery, which is less than 10,000 marks more expensive than your country's Krupp heavy artillery, which is more than enough discount......"

Barak inhaled the cool air fiercely, Zhang Chunping was right, the artillery performance of this Howling Tiger series is indeed far better than the Krupp artillery, but this price is too tricky, 30,000 marks!

"In addition to these three types of artillery, we also have a huge fortress cannon, the caliber of the cannon has reached 350 mm, the firing range has reached 16 kilometers, and it is even more powerful, it is specially used to protect military fortresses, the price of such artillery is even more expensive, the price is as high as 60,000 marks, converted into the silver dollars of our Chinese Empire, it is already 12,000 silver dollars, in addition, our shells are also standard shells, and the filling of new explosives can ensure its huge power, 20 marks per shell, but, Mr. Barak, our artillery is absolutely worth the price, you get what you pay for, you are also a connoisseur, an officer who graduated from the Royal Prussian Army Academy, you should understand the ...... of the gap between the artillery of various countries and ours"

Zhang Chun said slowly.

Tut-tut......

Barak kept snorting his teeth, it was really eye-catching, such a good equipment! It's a pity that it's too expensive, now that Prussia has just been unified, there are too many places to spend money, if it weren't for the shortage of funds, His Majesty Wilhelm would not have been so hesitant, according to his character, he would have started a war with the French Empire a long time ago.

"General Zhang, these artillery, we must be in great need, but, you also know, these artillery are too expensive, I hope your country can give the price to our country more favorable, General Zhang, the friendship between our two countries is incomparable to other countries......"

Barak laughed.

Zhang Chunping hesitated for a moment and replied: "Mr. Barak, this matter, again, I can't call the shots alone, and the specific preferential treatment also depends on the quantity purchased by your country, and I also need to make a report to our Majesty......"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, General Zhang, in the same way, I also need to report to our Majesty Wilhelm II, such an important matter, I can't make the decision alone, however, I will strongly ask His Majesty Wilhelm to purchase your country's artillery!"

Barak wanted to fly back to the legation now, and immediately send an urgent telegram to Wilhelm II, asking for the will of His Majesty Wilhelm, it is too important, this matter must not let other countries take the lead, once the French or the British are equipped with such artillery, then Prussia will be really dangerous!

"General Zhang, I have already learned the power of artillery, I will leave and rush back to the legation, I need to report to our Majesty immediately!"

Barak snapped.

Zhang Chunping said with a smile: "Mr. Barak, we are not in a hurry for this moment, wait a while, Kevin Rudd, give me all the sixty shells that were brought out, Mr. Barak finally came to visit, we can't be stingy, right?" Order, the artillery company is firing at full speed, let's set off fireworks! ”

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

Zhang Chunping gave an order, Kevin Rudd took the artillery company into action, and in an instant, all fifty or sixty shells were fired, and it was only a matter of three or five minutes!

In the distance, it has already become a sea of fire, and the flames are blazing! (To be continued.) )
