However, countries did not compromise on this.

"Mr. Weiren, since the price cannot be changed, it is impossible for us to buy so many planes at once. It's an unnecessary burden for us to come over. If we can reduce the amount by a certain amount, I think we will be happy to trade with you. The U.S. ambassador spoke again. At present, the United States does not attach importance to military affairs at all, and is mainly stepping up its efforts to make money, and it has to spend more than $10 million to purchase military equipment at once, and this is very difficult to pass in Congress. And now the United States has no enemies and is not in a hurry with weapons and equipment like other countries.

"Mr. Ambassador, this is the premise, and I can't help it." Wei Ren shook his head, looking impossible.

Some small countries such as Portugal are starting to be disappointed again, and the price is set in stone, so they have no way to buy it if they want to.

"Mr. Wejren, my country is happy to make a deal with you, and I will now buy a batch of planes from your country on behalf of Germany, on the same terms as you said, and in order not to break the agreement, we only need transport planes." The German ambassador saw that the atmosphere was a little cold and spoke. The identity he plays today is Tuo, a Tuo who helps Chen Shao sell equipment. The current Germany cannot have an air force, and the German side does not want to touch the bottom line of Britain and France, so it can only engage in some transport aircraft.

"Very good, thank you for the German ambassador's support, and then we have a special staff to discuss the specific situation with you!" Wei Ren said happily. With the first opening, are you afraid that there will be no second?

"We also buy a batch in France, and we want both models." At this time, the French ambassador saw that Germany was going to buy it, and he could not calm down. The two countries have a long-standing feud, and it is impossible for France to remain indifferent to this. In the First World War, France insisted on sanctioning Germany, which deepened the original hatred. Now that Germany is recovering, if it first masters the technology of advanced aircraft, it will definitely be a great threat to France. And the other side did not buy fighters, and they themselves cannot say anything.

"We also buy a batch in the UK, and we want both models." Britain did not show weakness either, and the third agreed.

The US ambassador was in a dilemma at this time, and when he saw that three countries had already agreed to buy planes, he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. According to US estimates, at most, $5 million is enough, but now it is more than 14 million at once, nearly 10 million more than expected. At this time, he didn't know the attitude of the country, and in the end he didn't agree to call, but he didn't say dead.

"Mr. Weiren, I can't call the shots about this kind of thing, I need to ask the president for advice!"

"Mr. Ambassador, it doesn't matter, buying and selling is not benevolent." As for the words of the American ambassador, Weiren didn't care, excluding Germany, it would be good to be able to sell two.

At this time, the Soviet ambassador, who had been quiet, spoke: "We, the Soviet Union, have also purchased a batch of aircraft, and at the same time I am here to convey greetings to Chen Shao for our great Comrade Stalin." At the same time, we also want to buy a number of warships and tanks. The Soviet ambassador was also helpless, and originally wanted to buy it secretly, but the other party never agreed, and wanted to have a big talk. In this regard, the ambassador consulted Stalin, and with the latter's consent, he said this. From the time of Tsarist Russia to the present Soviet Russia, the navy has not been very strong, and it is less than the upper and more than the lower. After seeing the Kunlunshan-class battleships, it was a great stimulus for Stalin to have this maritime weapon for China. On the one hand, he urged the domestic shipbuilding industry to develop a battleship that could be compared to China, and on the other hand, he hoped to buy one first and come back to study it himself. Stalin also had a great interest in tanks, a product of the First World War, and also wanted to develop his own armored forces. Now the domestic tanks in the Soviet Union are much behind the tanks of the People's Army, or there is not a decent tank. This made Stalin, who had always looked down on China, almost like a slap in the face in public. In any case, it must not be surpassed by China, this is the bottom line that Stalin gave himself.

The words of the ambassador of the USSR provoked concerns among the ambassadors of other countries, what was the USSR going to do? Is it going to provoke a naval race among countries again? The advent of the Washington Naval Treaty put an end to the scene of the vigorous development of warships by various countries. However, neither the Soviet Union nor China had signed a treaty, nor was it within the restrictions, and since Chen Shao appeared on the Kunlunshan-class battleships, several countries have discussed amending the content of the treaty and building larger battleships to contain China's Kunlunshan-class battleships. Now even the USSR wanted to buy battleships from China, how not to worry the countries. This is a bit surprising even for Germany, which has two natural enemies, one is France, and the other is Soviet Russia. Now that Soviet Russia is so bare about buying warships, it is not only Britain and the United States and other countries that are worried, but also Germany.

During the Washington Conference in 1922, the five naval powers of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France, and Italy signed the Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments (Washington Naval Treaty), which limited the tonnage (35,000 tons) and main gun caliber (not exceeding 16 inches) of capital ships, and stipulated that the total tonnage ratio of capital ships (battleships and battle cruisers) of the navies of the United States, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy was 10:10:6:3.5:3.5. In addition, the total tonnage of aircraft carriers, standard displacement, artillery caliber of the contracting parties are specified.

The current battleships Kunlun Mountain and Taishan of the Chinese Navy have a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons larger than the world's largest battleship, the British Hood (41,200 tons). Although the caliber of the main gun is not much larger, it is enough to subvert the status of the Nagato-class. With a displacement of 50,000 tons, this is definitely a milestone in the history of battleships. Japan's Nagato-class is only 33,800 tons, and the American Maryland is only 32,600 tons. Compared with the two battleships in the back, it was nearly 20,000 tons larger.

The fears of the countries finally appeared, and someone had the idea of hitting the battleship. Originally, they thought that Germany would jump out first, but they did not expect that the Soviet Union would be the first. Should the Soviet Union's policy of closed-country development be broken by itself? Countries also attach great importance to tanks, but the tanks exposed by the People's Army this time are only Chinese Leopard medium tanks, and many of the performances have not been brought into play, but the novel shape and powerful power have also attracted the attention of various countries. This time, I came here not only to buy planes, but also tanks.

The Soviet Union's words made the otherwise peaceful atmosphere suddenly tense, and the German ambassador even wondered if someone had spied on their deal with Chen Shao, who promised to sell them a batch of high-tech equipment at a discount of 20%, including airplanes, tanks, Mauser 98K rifles, submarines, battleships, and a large number of equipment. Now it seems that the USSR is going to buy about the same thing as itself, which worries the German ambassador a little.

"Mr. Ambassador of the Soviet Union, this time we will sell all our weapons, and at the same time, in order to meet everyone's needs, we have prepared a lot of small arms, from rifles to battleships. In fact, our leaders provided a list to Britain and France during the First World War, but at that time the countries did not look at it, and I believe that the current list will not disappoint everyone. ”

After Wei Ren finished speaking, he clapped his palms. Several staff members walked in and took out more than a dozen documents and put them in front of ambassadors and military attachés. When he was done, he walked out again.

The list is divided into several parts, and there are several rifles alone, one is a rifle that was changed from the 38 rifle, and the other is a rifle that Mosin Nagant changed. It is also divided into a variety of rifles with different functions, including rifles for jungle warfare, rifles for field warfare, and cavalry rifles. Both rifles have detailed data, and a number of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns are also sold. At the same time, several types of artillery are also listed above, from anti-aircraft machine guns to anti-aircraft guns to various field guns, with calibers ranging from 20mm to 203 mm, some things are expensive, some things are cheap.

Something like a rifle is very cheap, a little cheaper than the price of the countries themselves to produce. However, some guns are more expensive, and the price is basically much higher. Anti-aircraft guns, in particular, are more expensive than large-caliber guns.

There are also several models of tank armored vehicles, from light tanks to heavy tanks, but many of the above things are not the active equipment of the People's Army, light tanks are similar to Xiaodouding, medium tanks are weakened by the Chinese Leopard, and heavy tanks are Chinese Leopards. The price of each tier of tanks increases geometrically. There are also quite a few trucks to choose from on the vehicle list, as well as an armored car, but it is much stronger than the Japanese armored car.

There are more styles of warships on the list, ranging from small patrol boats to large Kunlunshan-class battleships, the cheapest 100-ton patrol boat is only 200,000 US dollars, and the Kunlunshan-class battleships have risen to 8000w (the cost of the Iowa class is about 9000w, and the Yamato-class is very cheap about 180 million yen). But the aircraft carrier above. At the same time as selling warships, there are many civilian ships on the list, ranging from nearly 1,000 tons to nearly 80,000 tons of displacement, and the price is not much cheaper than that of warships. Moreover, civilian ships below 10,000 tons are cheaper than those built by other countries, but those with more than 10,000 tons are a little more expensive.

The fourth list is full of individual equipment, uniforms, and the like, as well as a number of other products.

Later in the list there are some requirements for the sale of the products listed above. Tanks, like airplanes, were purchased in batches, ranging from 200 for the cheapest Xiaodou Ding to 50 for the most expensive Chinese Leopard. A small bean will sell for $5,000, and a Chinese leopard will sell for $12w, (the German Tiger costs $16w, and the King Tiger costs $21w.) Leopard 11w dollars, Hunting Tiger 26w dollars) The shape and performance of the Chinese leopard are close to the leopard tank, and this price is not expensive, but now it is 1928, and this price is waiting for the leopard to come out, and the price gap during this period is much more expensive than the leopard.

Except for planes and tanks, which have a quantity requirement, there are no quantity requirements for everything else.

The list is sprinkled with more than a dozen pages, and each weapon has some basic performance notes and a physical photo behind it, but not much of it shows.

The list also indicates that if you agree to buy, you can also go to see the physical object, if it is different from the list description, you can return it, and there is monetary compensation.

Finally, on the list, there is also a paragraph of Chen Shao's handwriting: This list is valid for 20 years, as long as it is not a hostile country, you can buy weapons in your country without restrictions with this list.
