Chapter 297: World Exposition

After these two batches of modern equipment, the back is relatively ordinary, the cavalry team, the infantry team, and the Marine Corps team, except for the strict appearance of the army, there is not much brilliance, and the envoys of various countries do not see much special, but the shock of those two phalanxes is enough.

With this military parade, the envoys had great expectations for the arms fair, and they also had a great interest in the world fair. Anyway, the arms exhibition will be held for a long time, so they will take part in the first World Expo that will open in Vladivostok.

Fang Xiaoyu's whimsical military parade also made a free advertisement for his next two major exhibitions, and some experts from various countries who didn't want to come to participate came after getting the news. Just when the viewing groups from various countries gathered in the capital, Fang Xiaoyu also officially announced the news that the Chinese Empire would hold an arms exhibition during the World Realm Expo.

From the Lanting 1 lever rifle to the 91 and 92 rifles, from the 90 heavy machine gun to the 94 light machine gun, from the Lanting-class battleship to the Zhonghua-class battleship, the weapon system of the Chinese Empire can be described as world-famous.

The launch of the new weapons system of the Chinese Empire was very timely, just in the period when the major powers were expanding their armaments, these new weapons were extremely eye-catching, and governments attached great importance to this, and the Nantes Empire and the Yaman Empire even sent their own army chiefs of staff in person in advance.

The first to open was the World Expo in Vladivostok, where the stadium complex has been under construction for two years, and each country has brought its own characteristics and skills. In order to make the construction of their country's stadium more brilliant, the Saar Empire placed a huge steam engine statue in the middle of the hall to show the contribution of the Saar Empire's scientists to the Industrial Revolution.

The Nantes Empire, a nation of art, directly copied the most famous sculpture of the late master Mirsco, The Thinker, while the Yamans made the entire dome entirely of glass.

The exhibition hall of the Chinese Empire is not surprising from the outside, except that it is relatively large, but it shows its difference at night, because the designers of the Chinese Empire decorate the entire venue with neon tubes representing the latest technology of the Chinese Collar, which is a very inconspicuous thing on the earth now, but it is a very creative and novel thing in the era when the power facilities are still very underdeveloped.

The venues of various countries compete with each other, and each country also tries its best to show its country inside the venue. The items on display in the venues of the Chinese Empire were personally demarcated by Fang Xiaoyu. In addition to the traditional products of the China Foundation, Fang Xiaoyu moved the products of the internal combustion engine for the first time.

Beautiful Mercedes-Benz cars, rugged and powerful six-wheeled trucks, jeeps with strong off-road ability and mopeds were placed in the most eye-catching position in the Imperial Chinese venues, which amazed visitors from all over the world.

In addition, the rigid airship, which has just been successfully developed and has not yet joined the active service, also occupies a prominent position in the exhibition hall, with new plastic products and novel daily products, as well as various precision machines filling the entire hall, so that all those who enter here feel a modern atmosphere.

This expo can be described as a grand event in the world, everyone regards this expo as a means to promote their own goods and increase business exchanges, which is a very effective way to stimulate foreign trade in the economic crisis, so not only the governments of the world are working hard to exhibit, but also businessmen from all over the world are flocking to it. Many merchants have thrown out orders to buy the products they like, and the booth of the Chinese Empire was the most popular.

The various vehicles of the Chinese Empire came to the fore when the Iron Army attacked Cheng Jiajun, and they showed the characteristics of strong mobility and could carry a large number of heavy equipment, which surprised the governments of various countries, and after hearing that the Chinese Empire exhibited cars in this exposition, and heard the reports of those envoys, all countries re-dispatched important figures.

Despite the arrival of many scientists from various countries, they were still a little confused in the face of the engine of this new concept, and even a military attache of the embassy of the Sahr Empire interjected to ask the docent how much coal the car needed to burn for a hundred kilometers, making a big joke.

Of course, each country has its own characteristics, and it is not just the Chinese Empire that dominates the country. The precision machine tools from the Yaman Empire, the clocks from the Grand Duchy of Sardinia and the linkage steam engine from the Saar Empire have all received high praise, and what surprised Fang Xiaoyu the most was that the Nantes Empire actually produced a steam car, although this car was very large, slow, and there was a person at the end of the car to fill coal, but it was indeed a car that could be driven.

The expo made exhibitors from all over the world very happy, most of them have got orders, especially the orders of the Chinese consortium are rich, many people have seen the novel internal combustion engine, but also know the huge potential of internal combustion engine vehicles, so all kinds of vehicles, especially the orders of cars have increased significantly, in order to better develop the internal combustion engine, Fang Xiaoyu also directly sold oil production equipment and drilling equipment.

The reason why Fang Xiaoyu took out the internal combustion engine so quickly is because of two reasons, the first is that he wants to increase the dependence of the countries in the world on oil, due to the early layout, Fang Xiaoyu has already taken the two regions with the highest oil reserves in the world and the far east of the East continent and the southern region of the former Persian Empire in the middle continent into his own, so that he has the capital to control resources, and the higher the degree of dependence on oil in the world and the more conducive to his control of the world and the world.

In addition, there is an area with high reserves in the territory of the invisible brother of the Boston Empire, the Moss Kingdom is still an independent country in name, if the countries find that the oil reserves there are high, I believe that it will not be so easy for the Boston Empire to annex there.

Fang Xiaoyu believes that in the future, it will become a hot spot for the entire world, which is why Fang Xiaoyu wants to make some trouble for the Boston Empire.

Another reason is that Fang Xiaoyu discovered a long time ago that Xiao Feng can scan any non-living form, if he transmits these more advanced concepts to all parts of the World Continent, he can rely on all the scientists in the World Continent to study these technologies, and he can rely on Xiao Feng to steal these developed technologies back without knowing it, which will greatly speed up his return home.

The scale of the World Empire Expo is large, and the number of exhibitors is also very large, which provides a place for the merchants of the whole world to communicate and buy and sell, so the Chinese Imperial Government announced that such an exposition will be fixed in the mode of four years, and the second World Fair will be held in the southern part of the Chinese Empire in Quanzhou Port four years later.

The World Expo closed in two months, but for the governments, the main event had not yet begun, and their delegations wanted to participate most in the arms fair to be held by the Chinese Empire.

Soon, ten days after the closing of the World Frontier Exposition, the first arms exhibition of the Chinese Empire was held in Zhenjiang Mansion in Donghai County. It can be said that this arms exhibition was specially prepared by Fang Xiaoyu in order to heat up the arms race in the western continent, and for this reason, Fang Xiaoyu sent Foreign Minister Wu Qiong, who is very familiar with all governments, and he personally attended the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony of the arms fair was nothing unusual, except that Fang Xiaoyu met with representatives of various countries, and then held a welcome reception. Wu Qiong has done a lot of work for this exhibition, he has prepared a lot of written materials, and has equipped several docents for each national delegation.

This time, the representative of the Yaman Empire was still Prince Dresia, and in order to show his friendship to Prince Dresia, an old friend, Wu Qiong personally received the delegation of the Yaman Empire.

As soon as Prince Dresia entered the hall, he was attracted by a weapon in the middle of the hall, which was like a large iron box, with strange iron chains hanging on the wheels, and on the left and right sides of it, there was a bulge on each side, in which a short barrel protruded, and in front of the iron box there were four shooting holes, in which the barrels of the four machine guns were slightly exposed, showing an extraordinary sense of might.

Coming late, Prince Dresia, who didn't see the military parade, just estimated that this guy might be the chariot in the mouth of his envoy, he went straight to this weapon and looked left and right, he looked too focused and almost knocked down the person in front of him.

Prince Dresia quickly stood still, and just wanted to apologize, but suddenly found that the person who almost collided with him was Dapto, the prime minister of the Nantes Empire. Dapto also saw that this weapon was out of his mind and almost knocked down Prince Dresia, the Yaman Empire and the Nantes Empire were feuds, so the two of them did not say hello, but snorted coldly with a very tacit understanding, and turned around and walked away at the same time.

"Mr. Wu, what is this weapon for?" Although Prince Dresia already had a guess, he couldn't help but ask.

Wu Qiong said with a smile: "This is the latest weapon developed by my country, called a chariot. As you can see, he has enough armor for a machine gun, and can travel a distance of 80 kilometers at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, in addition to the fact that he can cross a deep ditch of 0.8 meters, climb a low wall of 0.5 meters, and he has a 20 mm short-barreled gun on each side, and four machine guns in the front, which is very powerful. ”

After listening to Wu Qiong's introduction, both Prince Dresia and Lord Dapto, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up on the side, gasped, if any of the warring sides had this kind of weapon, it would definitely be an enemy's nightmare, and all the infantry would be easily wiped out.

Wu Qiong eagerly introduced the chariot to Prince Dresia, and Dapto, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Mr. Wu, what kind of power does this weapon called chariot rely on?" Have you miniaturized the steam engine? ”
