Chapter 43: New Customers(2)
Another night of eating and drinking passed, this time Wen Hui was not drunk, refused the maid sent by Miranda to warm the bed, and went back to sleep consciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Next is a leisurely shopping time, nothing important, Wen Hui took Boris two here to relive the urban style of the industrial revolution, the streets and alleys of the royal capital have left their three footprints, this is also a rare experience!
Then it's time to deliver and make sure the line goes into production. The dock unloaded the goods again, and the 100,000 rifles and corresponding ammunition were all handed over, and with the payment, Wenhui began to wait for a reply from another guest. If you don't hurry, you'll have to face an army of 200,000 Germania in disguise.
didn't let Wen Hui wait long, and a few days later, Wen Hui got a reply when he went out to eat. An unknown marine fish is produced here, which is large, delicate and spineless, and the combination of fish meat and roe is a rare delicacy. Wen Hui fell in love with this sea fish after eating it once, and often visited restaurants that served this fish.
During the meal, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to say that an acquaintance had settled the account and asked Wenhui if he was free to meet. Wen Hui, who was confused, came back to his senses after seeing Doreen's curly hair, the so-called acquaintance was her!
"I'm sorry to visit!"
"Meet again, this time to take care of my business?" You're welcome, Wen Hui directly asked the waiter to add a set of utensils.
"Yes, this time I came to talk about the transaction, after all, it is already urgent." Doreen was calm on the surface, but she was a little anxious in her heart. The number of existing new weapons in Germania has increased, and the production line is also being put into production in an orderly manner, and several times it has been sabotaged without success, and the other side has a very close eye on this production line, and the army is stationed on the edge of the factory in a grand manner, and now there is basically no chance to start. It's not a good situation to drag on!
"Then what kind of do you like, or more than one of them?" Wen Hui wished they could buy a few more to go back.
"Joke aside, it's hard to maintain a supply of one weapon." Doreen wouldn't consider more than two weapons, and they weren't guns of the same caliber, so wouldn't buying two be a problem for your own logistics," we hope to get more data on Lee Enfield. ”
Hey? Wen Hui was a little surprised, how could it be it? He had previously estimated that it was more likely that the Antanian people would buy Mosin Nagant or the American Springfield, but who knew that they would choose British goods! Should it be said that they are really two families who love and kill each other?
"Would you like to ask you why you chose it?" Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, Wen Hui wanted to know the reason.
"Range, rate of fire and shell capacity." Doreen gave their reasons, and after getting the samples provided by Wenhui, Doreen sent them back as quickly as possible through the channels in her hands, and after the soldiers' experience and the discussion of the military personnel, it was decided to take enough Lee Enfield NO.4 type.
They had the Mauser 98K obtained from the battlefield, plus the samples provided by Wen Hui, which basically made up the main rifle of World War II. Compared with several other guns, the caliber of the 38 type is too small, and the killing effect is not good, which is a fatal flaw on the battlefield, and the weapon that cannot kill with one blow is not responsible for the seriousness of the soldier's life, although the price is cheaper, after repeated research, it was decided not to consider this firearm.
The second to be out was the Frenchman's MAS-36, a lesser-known firearm that had a similar fate and no hope of performing on the battlefield. Range became a limiting factor, and the Germanian soldiers who used Mauser kites to fly kites left a deep psychological shadow on them, and they decisively gave up on this rifle with decent performance!
The next step was to choose between American, Soviet, and British, and all three rifles could be Mauser-defeating in terms of the performance they demanded. So they entered the next round of use selection, and in the use of it, they unexpectedly found that Lee Enfield's rate of fire and ammunition capacity were higher than the other two firearms, and Mosin Nagant did not feel very good to use.
With a ten-round ammunition capacity, a rate of fire that exceeds similar rates, and good accuracy and a good range, the Americans' Springfield style was instantly snubbed, and according to the evaluation of the use of twenty randomly selected soldiers, the goods purchased this time were also determined, and as for the remaining samples, they did not have the slightest intention of returning.
I didn't expect that there were still people who liked this kind of British goods, and Wen Hui didn't interfere much with the choice of guests, just like them, the important thing is to have money to pay, "These are some of the basic parameters of Lee Enfield." "Hand Dreen a booklet, just like Hess bought the Mauser with the instructions for use and maintenance, they also have this booklet as a gift, but each gun only has bullets and bayonets as a giveaway, and the rest will have to pay for it.
Obviously, Doreen knew about this booklet, so she took it and looked through it twice, and then began to negotiate the price, and by the way, she tried to get a discount: "Isn't the unit price of fifty gold coins a bit expensive?" Compared to the Germania giveaway, our price is a little on the high side! ”
Wen Hui doesn't expect to be able to trickle down the drain, maybe the imitation work behind the people has already begun: "I don't think this price is expensive, after all, you only have one choice now." ”
Doreen gritted her teeth and cursed, damn merchant! But on the surface, he still smiled and said: "It's not good to favor one over the other, and we don't pay for it, you must know that this is a large purchase volume!" At least they have to be treated the same! ”
"Okay, how much do you want?" The same price is the same price, Wen Hui nodded in agreement.
"Two hundred thousand, plus the kind of gun that can shoot continuously." Doreen was referring to Makqin, the humble gadgets that had caused a lot of trouble for their army, especially in the case of a dense formation charge, and she had never thought that there would be such a big loss.
"Heavy machine guns? Well, there is no problem with Makqin, there are others to take a look at. The Germans' "ripping machine" forget it, the amount of bullet consumption is not at all what they can afford, this time it is the Frenchman's Hatch Chase Type 1914 heavy machine gun (also transliterated as Hotchkiss), speaking of this may be a little unfamiliar, but its imitation, the island country's Type 92 heavy machine gun should not be unfamiliar to everyone.
Different from the water cooling of the Makqin, the Hatch Kaisi is the first air-cooled heavy machine gun, the power and accuracy are considerable, because its ammunition is fed by the bullet plate, because the bullet weight can not exceed 30 rounds, which seriously affects the fire continuity of the machine gun.
But these are minor issues, and the choice is up to them. This time, Wen Hui was stingy and only gave pictures, but did not take out samples. Doreen didn't say anything, Mauser did have a complete capture, but they never got Makqin on the battlefield. The opponent is very protective of this weapon, and once the battle is lost, the first thing the soldier does is to blow up the weapon in his hand, or it is destroyed in the battle, and there is only wreckage in his hand.
Looking at a Makqin with a bullet chain in his hand and a Hatch Chase with a bullet board in his hand, Doreen put away the parameter introduction along with the picture, "Can you finish the step first?" This weapon, you know, I can't make a decision alone. ”
"No problem, by the way, do you want the bullet production line and the firearms production line?" Wen Hui knew in his heart that such a transaction could not be done a few times, after all, there was an example there, Antania's industrial capacity was similar to that of Germania, and in the end it was also the result of self-production, so he simply did the business at one time, so as not to run back and increase the risk.
"Oh!" Doreen couldn't see it on her face, but she was very surprised in her heart, the Germania production line was a heart problem for them, but it was difficult to ask about the identity of the new customer, so she didn't expect the other party to bring it up in person.
"Of course I'm interested, if I can guarantee the supply of these things myself, it would be better." Doreen's joy was written directly on her face.
"So do you have enough money? The Germanian side has prepared fifteen million to buy two production lines, counting the previous purchase of firearms, do you have the ability to pay? Wen Hui smiled and asked a very realistic question, of course it's good that I'm willing to sell, but it's embarrassing if you don't have the money to buy it.
"We're not poor Germania!" Doreen immediately took out a check for five million, "This is the deposit for the rifle, I will relay the news about the heavy machine gun and the production line as soon as possible, and once it is confirmed, then we will buy it together." Doreen chuckled and took out a check from her bag, pushed it in front of Wen Hui, and gave her a wink before turning away.
"It seems that I met someone who is not bad for money this time, and I knew that I would cooperate with Antania first." Wen Hui blew on the check in his hand, this feeling of being slapped in the face by the check is so good!
