One deliberately takes care of it, the other carefully caters to it, and the conversation goes exceptionally smoothly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In just two days, a rough framework has been decided, and only a few details need to be filled.

Lan Fang will provide the Beiyang government with weapons and ammunition, including artillery and tanks, as well as a large amount of food and grass supplies, as well as military staff officers and military instructors, and arm about 100,000 troops for the Beiyang government to quell the domestic turmoil.

After the rebellion was put down, Lan Fang's goods would have the most favored nation status in terms of tariffs when they entered the Republic of China, and Lan Fang could immigrate to the "national control area" without an upper limit on the number of people.

To tell the truth, in the current Republic of China, there are really not many things that can make Lan Fang look at it, after getting the iron ore in the Pilbara area, Lan Fang almost does not lack any ore raw materials, Lan Fang now has much more resources than the Republic of China, as far as the Republic of China is concerned, Lan Fang really can't look down on it.

The only thing that Lan Fang envies in the Republic of China is the population of the Republic of China.

However, this problem will always be fundamentally improved over time, and all Lan Fang needs now is time.

In fact, since two years ago, Lan Fang has already started to immigrate from the Republic of China.

After two years of hard work, Lanfang's current Chinese population has exceeded 15 million, of which nearly 10% are children under the age of two, and these children were born after those immigrants moved into Lanfang.

As long as the Chinese people are given time to live a stable life, it is rare for each family to have three or four children, and it is normal to have five or six, and it is not impossible to have seven or eight.

In time, even if Lan Fang does not immigrate from the Republic of China, Lan Fang will have enough population.

Of course, if the Koreans are now counted, then the population of Lanfang will move towards more than 30 million.

It doesn't matter, the direction of Korean migration is Northern Territory, where the need for population is more urgent.

Qin Zhiyuan is not worried about negotiation, the time, place, and people are already available, if this can't negotiate a good result, then Lu Zhengxiang and Huang Bohan can go home and take their children.

On the first day of the negotiations, Qin Zhiyuan and Foch took a special plane to Pontianak in Wanghai Prefecture to inspect the arsenal there.

At present, the Pontianak area has become the military industrial base of Lan Fang, just near Pontianak, there are more than 20 large and small arsenals, which can produce all the materials needed by Lan Fang's army.

At the same time, there are several research institutes in Pontianak, from the most common light weapons to the most high-end battleship main guns, you can find corresponding research departments here, which will greatly promote the development of Lanfang's military industry.

The main purpose of Qin Zhiyuan and Foch's visit this time was to test the B-2 rifle that had just been developed by the Light Weapons Research Institute.

"The current rifle is good enough, the perfect combination of range and power, with a variety of light and heavy machine guns, the firepower level is already very good, the B-1 rifle is a standard weapon, if you want to change the cost, the price is extremely expensive, you have to think about it carefully." Foch's thinking was still conservative.

"Bolt-action rifles always have to be eliminated, and pulling the bolt with a shot is not only inefficient, but also destroys the continuity of the fighters' technical movements, we need to be more efficient, especially without machine gun cooperation, compared to rifles, machine guns are always too heavy, we need to make ordinary soldiers more efficient, especially in the case of individual combat." Qin Zhiyuan knew the trend of military development, and he never relaxed for a moment in the research and development of weapons.

"Uh-huh, I looked at your idea, to be honest, the idea is good, but have you considered the cost? Repeating rifles do have an advantage in combat, but soldiers have to carry more bullets, and the logistics are more demanding, and if they are reequipped in ten years, of course, it will be good, but if it is now, I don't think it is necessary. Foch still disagreed.

Foch was accustomed to being thrifty in his life, and the French War Department never gave Foch a nearly unlimited capital budget, so Foch was always used to living within his means. Foch's thinking is also consistent with the current general military thought, just in the current world, the massive application of new weapons such as tanks and airplanes has led to the decline of the status of ordinary infantry again, and it seems that ordinary soldiers with only one rifle have really become consumables, and no one pays attention to ordinary soldiers.

Qin Zhiyuan's idea is different, Qin Zhiyuan has a deep understanding of automatic weapons, and also has a deep understanding of the role of tanks and aircraft, there will always be some terrain that is not suitable for armored forces to deploy, there will always be places that bombers can't cover, and even machine guns are not suitable for use, at this time, infantry needs to use their own strength to solve problems.

At all times, the human factor is the most important.

"We now have an opportunity, the Republic of China requires us to support weapons and ammunition, we can just use this opportunity to support the current B-1 rifle to the Republic of China, and then we can replace it with new weapons, which does not need to be too costly, at least because the Republic of China takes over, it can make up for some of our losses, and at the same time maintain the advanced nature of individual weapons, and it is also conducive to our troops to exert stronger combat effectiveness, which is not in conflict." Qin Zhiyuan has a way of passing on costs.

"Okay, okay, let's take a look first, if it's really as good as you say, then it doesn't matter if you change clothes." Foch agrees with reservations.

The current Lanfang is no longer the Lanfang that even needs to import ore from Annan, the iron ore from the Pilbara region is constantly importing Lanfang, although Qin Zhiyuan has paid on the surface, but because of the reason of "Angel Jack", it is equivalent to putting money from one pocket to another, and the payment is not as much as it seems, and it is even much cheaper than importing iron ore from Annan.

With an abundance of iron ore and a steelmaking plant about to be put into operation, Lanfang's military industrial complex is on the right track.

At the very least, we are on the right track.

While they were talking, Qin Zhiyuan and Foch arrived at the shooting range of the Pontianak City Small Arms Research Institute, where the director Zeng Ruiqi and the head of the rifle development team, Louis Julian, were waiting.

Zeng Ruiqi was originally from Jinmen, and his ancestors used to work in the Jinmen Machinery Bureau, and later the Jinmen Machinery Bureau was demolished in the Gengzi Incident, and Zeng Ruiqi's grandfather, father and two uncles all became gun repair masters.

That's right, it's a gun repairer, and he really has this profession.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, chaos was rife, and the number of civilian weapons was actually very large, especially in the Kanto region, which was ravaged by several wars, and all kinds of guns were available, from old-fashioned guns to modern repeating guns.

One problem is obvious, most of the people who use those weapons will not be able to repair them, so when there is a problem with those weapons that are on the verge of obsolescence, the profession of "gun repairer" came into being.

Although the profession of "gun repairer" can barely make a living, it is not a long-term strategy after all, so when the Beiyang government organized a labor team to Europe, Zeng Ruiqi joined the labor team and became one of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese who went to Europe.

Upon arrival in Europe, Tsang soon joined the Renault factory and became a member of the design department led by Jean Pierce.

With this background, Zeng Ruiqi successfully became the director of the Light Weapons Research Institute after returning to Lanfang.

As for Louis Julien, this is Zeng Ruiqi's friend, who also worked under Jean Pearce, after Zeng Ruiqi returned to Lanfang, he hired Louis Julian to Lanfang with a lot of money, of course, after living in Lanfang for a year, Louis Julian has applied to become Lanfang's nationality, otherwise it would be impossible to serve as the head of the rifle development team.

Zeng Ruiqi and Louis Julian were very excited to see Qin Zhiyuan and Foch, especially Louis Julian, who stammered a little when introducing the B-2 rifle to Foch, and full fans saw the idol's doglegs.

"The B-2 rifle was the first rifle we designed independently...... No, it's not, it's the first rifle that His Majesty directed us to design...... His Majesty asked, let's improve the design, strictly speaking, Your Majesty is the designer of this gun...... When we first saw His Majesty's thinking, we organized an argument because we didn't know if it could be realized, and then we decided to give it a try......" Louis Julien was a little excited, and he didn't get to the point for a long time.

Foch's status among the French is undoubted, and it can be said that the current French president does not necessarily have the same prestige in people's hearts as Foch, and it is for this reason that Foch wanted to come to Lanfang, and Raymond Poincaré did not hesitate to fully agree.

Well, if Foch wants to run for president next year, it is estimated that he will be more likely than Clemenceau to be elected.

Louis Julien was understandably excited when he met Foch.

Qin Zhiyuan ignored Foch and Louis Julien, went directly to the firing position, and picked up a B-2 rifle to watch.

That's right, just like Qin Zhiyuan's memory, the principle of air conduction, the steel leakage magazine with 8 rounds in a double row, strictly speaking, this is the M1 Garand rifle used by the US military.

Of course, when Qin Zhiyuan came here, the "click" of this rifle, which was once widely criticized, has been effectively improved, when the gun has fired all the bullets, the retractor will not eject the magazine, but reminds the shooter to load the bullet in the way that the bolt does not reset.

"In fact, we prefer to use the B-3 type, relatively speaking, the B-3 type has more perfect shooting, more ammunition, and better fire continuity, the only drawback is that the B-3 needs too many bullets, if the B-3 is used, the soldiers need to carry more bullets, which increases the burden on the soldiers, of course, relatively speaking, the range and power of the B-3 are not as good as the B-2, so we have been hesitating before, and now I ask Your Majesty to decide which weapon to use as our standard weapon." Zeng Ruiqi explained beside Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan saw the B-3......

Where is this B-3, it is clearly the former Bobosha submachine gun.
