After a series of preparations and the publicity and hype of the world's major media, 415 arms dealers were finally confirmed to participate in the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition. In addition, the Stockholm International Defense Club has also received hundreds of applications, and there are also six arms dealers who have applied for platinum membership, namely Krupp AG of Germany, Vickers AG of the United Kingdom, Mauser Arms Manufacturing AG of Germany, Rheinmetall Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Corporation of Japan, and Renault Corporation of France. There are even more people who apply for gold membership, with a total of 15 companies, including Colter in the United States and Henschel in Germany. Ordinary members have 320 companies applying.

The exhibition area of the entire defense exhibition reached 30,000 square meters, and the main exhibits brought by the exhibitors were heavy weapons in addition to light weapons, of course, these heavy weapons were exhibited in the form of models and picture materials, after all, in this era, the transportation was not very developed, and it was not too realistic to travel far to get heavy equipment to the defense exhibition. Of course, Sweden's own arms dealers brought some heavy weapons in kind, such as the 105mm light howitzer of the organizer Bofors and the 75mm field gun of Saab.

The first edition of the Stockholm International Defence Exhibition was scheduled to open on November 11, 1930, with the first six days dedicated to professional exhibitions and the last day to the public. Swedish Minister of Defense Andersson will be present on the opening day to unveil the exhibition and deliver a speech.

November 11, 1930 is destined to become an important day in the world's military history. In Stockholm, the capital of the Kingdom of Sweden, a large-scale international defense exhibition opened. The entire exhibition site was arranged in an orderly manner, and the booths of hundreds of exhibitors were distinctive, and each exhibitor took his company's most proud products to the booth, hoping to achieve something in this international defense exhibition.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony began. In a large square, a rostrum with a width of 15 meters and a length of 30 meters is arranged, and in front of the rostrum, there is an audience area composed of thousands of wooden chairs. At this time, the rostrum was lit up with lights, and thousands of spectators under the rostrum were looking forward to it.

Karl was the first to take the stage, he strode to the podium and said in a calm tone: "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to beautiful Stockholm!" Our Swedish people will welcome guests from all over the world with open arms. Today, we are here to solemnly hold the opening ceremony of the first Stockholm International Defense Exhibition, which is a great day, a happy day! Next, we welcome our host, Admiral Andersson, Minister of Defense of the Kingdom of Sweden, to deliver the opening remarks! ”

Thousands of spectators at the scene heard that the Swedish defense minister was present in person, and they greeted Anderson with thunderous applause.

Dressed in a general's uniform, which represents the official nature of the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition, Anderson walked to the podium with resolute steps, and Anderson looked around triumphantly before speaking in a calm voice: "Gentlemen, ladies! As host, on behalf of the Kingdom of Sweden, I would like to welcome you all! The first Stockholm International Defense Exhibition is about to open with the careful preparation of the organizers, and I think everyone must be as excited as I am at this moment! That's right, this is the world's first professional and comprehensive weapons exhibition, according to statistics, our first Stockholm International Defense Exhibition has 415 exhibitors arrived, and I believe that more exhibitors will come in the future. Why? ”

Anderson paused for a moment and continued: "Because the purpose of holding this international defense exhibition is to serve arms dealers all over the world, the establishment of this platform will effectively promote the development of international arms trade. Of course, as a responsible and neutral State, we in the Kingdom of Sweden advocate adherence to several principles in arms exports, namely, not to undermine peace, stability and security in the world and in the regions concerned, not to interfere in the internal affairs of arms-buying countries, and to contribute to enhancing the legitimate defence capability of arms-buying countries. We believe that, as a responsible State and arms dealer, arms should not be sold to non-State organizations and individuals, and that the countries that purchase arms are required to provide relevant certificates of end-user and end-use, and undertake not to transfer imported weapons to third parties. To this end, we have formulated a comprehensive set of arms export control laws and adopted measures such as an arms export registration system and an arms export licensing management system to enhance our arms export control capabilities. Therefore, we hold the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition to advocate world peace, not war! ”

Hearing the wonderful speech of the Swedish Minister of Defense, the audience responded with warm applause! Indeed, the smoke of the First World War has just dissipated, and the world today has begun to show factors of instability. This is definitely something that no normal person and country wants to see.

Anderson was very satisfied, and the presentation was so good, thanks to the transcript provided by Philip. So Anderson turned his gaze to Philip, who was sitting in the front row, and nodded at him.

Philip was also very excited, Anderson actually said the speech he wrote word for word, the Secretary of Defense is worthy of being a high-level official, and he is indeed very good at speaking, and the tone, tone, and tone are very well grasped, which can arouse the enthusiasm of the audience.

When the applause gradually subsided, Anderson continued: "While the world needs weapons, it is also necessary to establish a sound and equal arms trading platform to promote international arms trading, which can not only promote the arms research and development and manufacturing capabilities of various arms manufacturing countries, promote the development of science and technology and the economy, but also deepen the relationship between arms trading partners and increase mutual understanding and cooperation." We hope that, on the premise of maintaining world peace and stability, arms manufacturers from all over the world will be able to launch their brands at the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition and create more and more resounding star weapons in the international arms trade. At the same time, we also hope that all arms buying countries can buy the weapons products they need most and are most satisfied with at the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition! ”

"Now I announce that the first Stockholm International Defense Exhibition is officially opened!" As soon as Anderson's voice fell, firecrackers rang out on both sides of the rostrum, and in the crackling firecrackers and warm applause, Anderson slowly walked to the center of the rostrum and unveiled the red cloth on the horizontal plaque printed with the words of the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition, and the opening ceremony was officially completed.

Karl walked to the podium and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, our defense exhibition lounge area is equipped with coffee, tea and other drinks, as well as relevant materials of the defense exhibition, such as various activities, weapons forums, etc., you can ask the staff for it." ”
