About half a year ago, preparations for the Coconut City Expo began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why Qin Zhiyuan wanted to hold the Coconut City Expo was completely due to an accident.

In August of this year, Paris, France will host the 11th World Expo, which is not the whole world, but just a city.

The "World Expo" in this year is not as lofty as in the 21 st century, and basically no matter which country it is, as long as it holds an expo and pulls a few foreign businessmen at random, it can be named "the world."

The "Paris World's Fair" was also held against this background.

Originally, from the perspective of the relationship between Lanfang and France, Paris should have sent an invitation to Lanfang and invited Lanfang to send a delegation to participate in the Paris Expo, but I don't know if it was because of the negligence of the organizers or other reasons, Lanfang did not get the invitation, so Qin Zhiyuan decided to hold a fair belonging to Lanfang in Coconut City.

As soon as the news of the Coconut City Expo came out, it immediately caused a strong response in Lanfang, and almost all Lanfang provinces responded positively, and even Japan, which was similar to the nature of the colony, formed a delegation to participate in the Coconut City Expo with traditional Japanese handicrafts as the main project.

After Japan's defeat in World War II, the already underdeveloped heavy industry was completely destroyed by Lanfang, and the factories were either demolished or blown up, and the light industry has not recovered until now, leaving only these traditional handicrafts that can represent the industrial level of Japan.

The Coconut City Expo was held on the outskirts of Coconut City, and in order to successfully host the first Expo, the Lanfang government approved a special plot of land for the construction of pavilions, hotels and other supporting facilities.

Although the Lanfang government has prepared six pavilions covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, it is still not enough to accommodate all the exhibits, so that even the hard ground and lawn near the exhibition hall are used to barely meet the needs of the exhibitors.

When the old Renaud and Jean Pierce came to the exhibition area, the World Expo had been carried out on the fifth day, in the planning of the Lanfang government, the first World Expo was only one week, but now it seems that one week is definitely not enough, and some exhibitors have not even arrived in Coconut City on the road, so the Lanfang government has announced that the time will be extended to half a month.

Although it is already the fifth day, the exhibition area is still crowded, bustling, the most lively area is the translation area, the Lanfang government in order to ensure that the exhibitors can communicate smoothly, prepared more than 100 translators, now this 100 people have been added to 300 people, but still can not meet the needs of everyone.

Renault Sr. and Jean Pierce did not need an interpreter and avoided the most lively civilian goods exhibition area, and Renault Sr. took Jean Pierce directly to the heavy industry exhibition area.

"-- Eagle Eagle transport aircraft is the most advanced transport aircraft in our Lanfang at present, this kind of transport aircraft can carry 20 heavily armed soldiers, fly to any place within 1,500 kilometers within five hours, has a very wide range of applicability, Eagle Eagle for the site requirements are not high, even on the grass, Eagle Eagle can take off and land smoothly, which ensures that Eagle Eagle can be used in almost any environment, if a country is equipped with 200 Eagle Eagles, Then it is enough to ensure that the country can transport a brigade to any corner of the country as quickly as possible, which has a great advantage in dealing with urgent matters -- "In the military transport aircraft pavilion, engineers from the Golden State Aircraft Factory were talking, and standing opposite the engineers were two military representatives from the United States.

The Coconut City Expo is divided into two categories: military and civilian, and there are more than a dozen sub-categories if subdivided, military transport aircraft must be the top priority, and military representatives from the United States, France and Britain have expressed great interest in Eagle Eagle these days.

"Look at it, this is the masterpiece of Lanfang's military industrial enterprise, it's hard to imagine that they have made such great progress in such a short period of time, and you may not know that the Eagle Eagle is not Lanfang's most powerful transport aircraft, and Lanfang's most powerful transport aircraft is fifty percent more advanced than this." Renault Sr. waited for the Americans to go far before explaining to Jean Pierce in detail.

Although Jean Pierce seemed to have no expression, the corners of Jean Pierce's slightly tugging mouth betrayed Jean Pierce's excited heart.

Jean Pierce was introduced to the design of transport aircraft a few years ago, when the transport aircraft was still at a relatively primitive level, with a load capacity of no more than 500 kilograms and a flight range of less than 500 kilometers, which of course could not be compared with the eagle eagle, let alone the performance of the kangaroo.

It is estimated that if Jean Pierce knew the specific data of the kangaroo, Jean Pierce would definitely lose his temper.

A few steps further aside, there is the exhibition area of armored vehicles, which has a wider range of exhibits than the transport aircraft area, from the earliest "bulldogs" to the latest "matadors".

At present, the development speed of automobiles is still relatively fast, almost every year there will be new technologies, relatively speaking, Lanfang Automobile is still in the forefront of the world, thanks to Qin Zhiyuan's advanced concept.

"This is an armored vehicle that we have developed specifically for desert areas, this model is called 'Camel', as you can see, the 'Camel' has wide tires in order to adapt to the desert terrain, which ensures that they can fly in the desert without getting stuck in the sand, taking into account the rudimentary weapons of the enemy in the desert area,' The camel's armor was not too heavy, but it could defend against fire from Enfield rifles at a distance of a hundred meters, and even the glass, which could withstand bullets without shattering and splashing, and the soldiers in the armoured vehicles would not be bothered by broken glass-"There are also people here who are visiting, and the military uniforms on them are French.

The narrator is still a chicken thief, in the face of the French, they will use the Enfield equipped by the British as an analogy, if it is against the British, then the Lebel rifle equipped by the French will be unlucky.

"If the French government can equip a large number of 'camels', then if there is any problem in North Africa, the French soldiers can rush to the area of the incident as quickly as possible, which is very conducive to solving the problem quickly, time is everything, isn't it?" In order to get orders, the narrator is also quite hard.

"This looks pretty good—" a French colonel nodded repeatedly.

"At least better than that stupid big one from Renault—" another colonel chimed in.

If the French army needs equipment, the first choice is the French Renault company, but the Renault company without the old Renault is obviously not worthy of the name, listening to the conversation between the two officers, they are not satisfied with the products provided by the Renault company.

"Shhhh

The old Renault's popularity in France has reached the point where everyone knows about it, especially the military, and I am afraid that all French soldiers will remember the old Renault's big nose.

Old Renault didn't mean to greet anyone, nodded casually and continued with Jean Pierce.

"Although Lanfang Automobile started late, but the speed of progress is very fast, Lanfang in a car factory in Jinzhou, the output is more than the entire Renault company, and such car factories, Lanfang has three." There was not much sadness in the tone of the old Renault, and these car factories all had shares in the old Renault.

"I have to say, we have cultivated a strong opponent." Jean Pierce finally couldn't remain silent.

Objectively speaking, it is precisely because of the Chinese who worked in the Renault factory during the world war that the miracle of Lanfang industry was created, and the role of Jean Pierce must be praised.

"Let's face it, let's, even if Lanfang doesn't rise, the Americans will crush Renault, have you heard of Ford? Their products in one month can make us produce in a year, and it was only when I arrived in Lanfang that I realized what a stupid choice it was for us to stick to Paris before, and we should have come out a long time ago and see how fast the world is developing. "Old Renault did not think that Lanfang was an opponent of the French, and Lanfang should not be an enemy of France.

"The Americans - they're another trouble!" Jean Pierce did not deny the words of the elder Renault.

Jean Pierce had a bad impression of the Americans, and in order to gain the support of the Americans, the French and Lanfang broke off the alliance, and as a result, the United States gave France far less than the French imagined, and there were many strings attached, which made the American "aid" look like a chicken rib.

Further on is the small arms exhibition area, which is a bit less crowded and relatively deserted.

This is also reasonable, just a few years after the world war, and the stock of light weapons in various countries is quite large, so the demand for light weapons is not very large.

There are also a lot of bright spots here, especially the B-2 rifle, which is a semi-automatic weapon that has received a lot of attention, especially the Americans, who have ordered a batch of rifles back for testing, and if it passes, the Americans will buy a production license from Lanfang.

However, some people disagreed, such as Jean Pierce, after learning about the selling point of the B-2, Jean Pierce was not without contempt: "This design is not very good, I had a similar idea during the world war, but in the end it did not pass the argument, it is really good to equip such a rifle, but it will drag down Lanfang's logistics, I doubt that Lanfang's logistics have such a large support capacity." ”

"Guarantees?" Old Renault's expression was a little strange, pointing to the eagle eagle and camel next to him, Old Renault was full of confidence: "These things can be used not only to transport soldiers, but also to transport supplies, this is the confidence of Lanfang's logistics." ”

Uh-huh, it's really confident.
