Chapter 117: Arms Sales (Part II)

By the time everyone had finished reading the list, it was already half an hour later.

The expressions of ambassadors and military attachés of various countries are different.

Britain and the United States have a deep sense of crisis, and this list is not available in either country, and many things on it are much more advanced than those at home. And the price is very cheap again. This shows that the Chinese side does not care about selling the things on the list, and can produce as much as they want. Otherwise, Chen Shao is crazy, this is obviously impossible, can a madman have this ability? Not to mention rifles, tanks, planes, trucks. Military ships and civilian ships alone can already arouse their sufficient vigilance, and it is not difficult to see from this that the other side already has a certain shipbuilding industry. In fact, after coming out of the Kunlunshan-class battleships, they also realized this, but what shocked them even more was that there was no purchase limit, which can show that the other party has enough strength to build these warships or civilian ships, and they can be completed within the delivery time. Although both countries can do it, it is now from the mouth of a backward country, and now the two countries can no longer connect the current China with the China they used to see. It seemed like the whole world had changed overnight, and now it would not be more shocking to say that the sun was coming out in the west. To use an analogy: if you wake up tomorrow, Africa will become the center of the world overnight. The United States, Europe, and Asia have to stand aside, and you can understand their mood at this time.

The German ambassador has already read this list, and he has also looked at the list of his own country, and there is much more to it than this sub-list. There is an extra Chinese Tiger in the tank above, a Mauser 98K in the rifle, and a Ripper general-purpose machine gun on the machine gun. The submarine was more advanced in style, and the battleship had a battleship that was absolutely invincible in the eyes of the Germans.

For Germany, Chen Shao can be described as a great dedication, and he has now made up his mind to arm Germany well, and he will definitely be more powerful than in his previous life. I will sell whatever Germany lacks, and the price of a rifle is cheaper than what you make yourself, and everything is cheaper than what you make yourself, depending on whether you come and buy it from me. As for the list of other countries, according to Chen Shao's plan, he will take advantage of the opportunity brought by the Red Alert to become the world's largest arms dealer. You produce a rifle for $20, and I only need $5, depending on how you fight with me. Not to mention anything else, this alone is Chen Shao's biggest advantage. Even if in the later stage, if you give away weapons for free in the United States, I will give them away for free, and see who can withstand it.

Some small countries have become interested when they see the above list, some big guys can't afford it, but they can also buy some light equipment, the price is still very cheap, and they can also provide home delivery, what is more cost-effective than this.

"Mr. Weiren, I want to know if everything on this can be produced?" The British ambassador asked. His words silenced some of the slightest discussions.

"Of course, we can't produce how to list." On the question of the British ambassador, Wijen was noncommittal.

"You are planning to sell all the warships on this, you should know about the Washington Naval Treaty of the Five Nations, do you want to deliberately provoke a new naval race?" The U.S. ambassador stared at Verren and said slowly.

"In response to what the US ambassador said, I would like to prove one point first: China is not a signatory country, and the so-called naval treaty is invalid for us. As a country with its own sovereignty, what kind of warships we build, whether we sell them or not, have nothing to do with any third party. At the same time, I will say that we have no intention of provoking any naval race that you are talking about, and that has nothing to do with us. We are simply exercising our sovereignty. Wei Ren said with a nonchalant expression.

"By doing this, your country is provoking a naval race among various countries and provoking disputes." The British ambassador said with an unhappy face.

"I'm repeating it one last time. As we all know, our country's economy is still extremely backward and we simply cannot afford to raise so many warships, and once the war with Japan is over, we will sell a large amount of weapons and equipment in service, and use the money we get to develop our country's economy, and we have no other ideas. As a sovereign country, you are slandering us by saying this. ”

The British and American ambassadors have nothing to say about Weiren's words, and what else can they say at this point. Moreover, Weiren's words just now also indicated that China will take the line of single-minded development in the future, which makes the two countries put down their minds a little. However, there are still knots in the hearts of both sides about Chen Shao's insistence on selling battleships and other strategic weapons. The current battleships are not visible to China, and if the battleships are in the hands of Germany and the USSR, then the problem will be complicated. The appearance of Kunlunshan-class battleships indicates that all the main warships of the countries in service are obsolete. If such a battleship arrives in Europe, the countries of Europe can only build a higher-class capital ship to fight it, which will plunge the countries that are still bent on economic development into an armament vortex. This is definitely very bad news for Britain, France and other countries. But now that people are bent on selling, do they want to use war to force them? That's not in their respective interests either.

The current Chen Shao is different from the previous warlords, he is completely a powerful leader who does not buy threats at all. In the face of Japan, the number one power in Asia, it declared war when it said that it would declare war, and in the end, Japan had no chance to fight back. Moreover, a unified China can also be more in line with the interests of European and American countries, export commodities, promote commodity circulation, and also drive the economies of various countries. Launching a war against China is even more nonsense, and now we don't have enough time to recuperate, so how can we fall into the quagmire of war again. After defeating Japan's dispatch of troops to Shanghai, all countries have also seen the military strength of the Chinese side, and they will not be looking for trouble.

"We very much agree with your country's initiative and support your approach, and here I would like to order a batch of weapons from you on behalf of Germany." The German ambassador spoke at the right time.

"Here I thank the German side for your understanding on behalf of our leader, I don't know what weapons the German side wants to buy?" Wei Ren was also very cooperative.

"Buy a lot of infantry equipment to replace our old equipment. The specific data can be discussed in more detail. "At the end of the First World War, Germany could not have heavy weapons, and now the battleships that Germany wants to buy will not be delivered immediately, and the German side will send troops to China to familiarize themselves with it first, and when the opportunity comes, they can drive back to Germany openly. Because of the Versailles Treaty, the official rise of China also made Germany see the strength of China, and within this month, the two sides reached many secret agreements. One of them is that China can produce and store a large number of heavy weapons and equipment for Germany.

"No problem, thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for your support to our country." Wei Ren said with a smile on his face.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the British and French ambassadors felt as uncomfortable as eating two catties of fly droppings.

Before anyone else could speak, the Soviet ambassador spoke: "On behalf of the Soviet Union, I will purchase from you a battleship and a batch of tanks and armored vehicles, all three types of tanks. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to you two later. Is there anyone else who wants to buy it now? ”

The British and French ambassadors looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Germany and the Soviet Union have spoken, and now they can't intervene in anything, they can only report back to China as soon as possible and let the decision of the master. However, for some things, the two are quite excited.

"I buy a batch of tanks on behalf of the UK, all three models."

"On behalf of France, I buy a batch of tanks, medium and heavy, and a batch of armored vehicles"

"On behalf of Italy, I will buy from you a batch of planes, tanks, fighter planes and transport planes, medium and heavy."

While they spoke, the pen in Weiren's hand never stopped. Each stroke represents a large amount of money flowing into China, which is still converted in gold. After recording the purchase targets of the three countries, Wei Ren swept his gaze to the other countries and said, "No one wants to buy?" If that is the case, then the rally will be over. ”

At this time, the Dutch ambassador hurriedly said: "Wait, on behalf of the Netherlands, I will buy a batch of rifles and light tanks from your country. ”

"On behalf of Spain, I purchase from your country one provincial cruiser, two municipal destroyers."

"On behalf of Sweden, I purchase two cruisers from your country."

……

After Wei Ren finished recording it, no one spoke, and the countries that came here today except for the United States have bought something to some extent.

After seeing that no one bought it anymore, Wei Ren said: "Thank you for your support to our country, you can contact me at any time if you want to buy weapons and equipment in the future, and the list will be brought back by you." Later, there will be a special staff to take you to see the real thing. ”

Afterwards, ambassadors and military attachés were led by staff to a warehouse on the outskirts to see what they had purchased. Countries that only buy warships don't need to look at it, they have seen it all before when they were in Shanghai.

When the US ambassador returned to the embassy, he immediately gave a detailed report to the US direction on what had happened today. The American side replied quickly, saying only one sentence, buying a batch of aircraft. After seeing the telegram, the US ambassador to China could only go to Viren again and convey his intention to buy the plane.

The turmoil over arms sales has lasted for a long time, and Britain, the United States, France, and other countries have also made frequent contacts. The Japanese side was even more active, and due to the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, it was not possible to build stronger warships, which made the Japanese side very anxious. Japan faced the Kunlunshan-class battleships on the Chinese side, and the Nagato-class was no match at all, at least it looked like that. Now Japan urgently needs a capital battleship that can suppress the Kunlunshan-class battleships, which has been prepared since the first appearance of the Kunlunshan-class battleships. Now that it has learned that Britain, the United States, France, and other countries intend to liberate Washington's naval treaty, Japan is even more desperate to promote this matter.

For the first time since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, Japan felt a great threat, and the direction of the threat came from the Chinese side. This makes it difficult for Japan's right-wing forces to accept this fact, and they originally wanted to take advantage of it again, but now stealing chickens will not lead to a handful of rice. In the past month, the Japanese side has urgently summoned a group of new recruits, and the recruits recruited last year have intensified their training and strengthened training in the hope of rapidly forming combat effectiveness.

Moreover, since the Shanghai dispatch army was wiped out a month ago, the army has been in frequent contact with Zhang Zuolin, hoping to get some benefits from Zhang Zuolin.
