"Would you like Dmitry to visit our factory, if you don't mind?" Looking at the last container in the distance, Walter sent out an invitation, Wenhui is also one of the shareholders of the Royal Arsenal, and it is also necessary to visit and understand his own industry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My pleasure!" Of course, Wenhui will not miss this opportunity, just to learn about their military industry, and then make corresponding product adjustments.

Although he was mentally prepared, Wen Hui was still a little caught off guard in the face of Walter's inquiry. Seeing a lot of mechanized assembly line factories in later generations, and then looking at this kind of large-scale manpower factory equivalent to the level of the nineteenth century, except for the huge number of workers that can surprise Wen Hui, there is really nothing else worth noting.

Large-scale production relying on the number of people is just an alternative crowd tactic. It's just that this arsenal is not as simple as it sounds, from the simplest lead bullets to chubby warships, you can find production units here, including almost all types of arms production in Germania.

"The variety of products produced here is really comprehensive!" In the face of Walter's inquiry, it was impossible for Wen Hui to disdain and say, "What a backward factory." "I can only talk back from looking for other advantages.

"Of course, in the face of the competition of the Fowler family, there is no way to do it. Originally, the Fowler family was the overlord of the military industry, and the other small producers had to act according to their faces. But this kind of national lifeline is impossible to be in the hands of private families, and the Fowler family does not cooperate with the proposal of the royal family and parliament to participate in the management, the emperor set up his own arsenal in a fit of anger, from scratch, and it took ten years to build this fairly complete factory, at least it will not be wantonly stuck by the Fowler family. "This is a brick-by-brick building by Walter himself, and naturally it is deeply emotional.

"Then this time they ......"

"It's a foregone conclusion that they don't even need to wait for the new weapons to be fully put into production. We can place an order for you to reequip your troops while commissioning production. As for the old steam firearms, there is no reasonable solution for them other than to recycle them into warehouses. Walter was happy when he talked about it, and the Fowler family's behavior of eating alone caused many people to be dissatisfied, especially after everyone's requests for a piece of the pie were repeatedly refused, and no one fantasized about cooperating with them again. Now they would rather buy more money from Wenhui than place an order from the Fowler family's factory.

After hearing the good news, Wen Hui grinned and said, "That's great, what do you need?" ”

"Bullets, guns, that's it." Walter may say it lightly on the surface, but he knows how important these things are. At first, the importance of ammunition reserves was not recognized, and after purchasing 100,000 rifles, everyone thought that the ammunition given with the guns was enough, but after a large-scale battle, no one thought of it anymore.

Not just the logistics quartermaster, but every commander with a new rifle slept with one eye open and stared at his ammunition stockpile. The head of his military factory was almost blocked in his office during that time, and the big-headed soldier who knew how to pull the trigger took it for granted that there was no problem with this little thing being produced by himself, and the problem of not being able to supply the troops at the front was due to him, the factory director.

Damaged firearms need to be replaced, ammunition needs to be safely stockpiled, and production lines need to be copied immediately. Walter knows that the agreement will only begin after it is implemented, and they still have to explore the road of self-production.

and Walter reached a purchase order for 500 Makqin, 100,000 rifles and an additional 30 million rounds of ammunition, although Wen Hui had a smile on his face, but he was still quite unhappy in his heart, it was really uncomfortable to do business with this kind of customer with hands-on ability, I don't know when I wouldn't need you, for example, they didn't buy grenades this time, because they could already produce their own.

Last time, it was stuck in the fuse of a grenade and could not be produced, and it didn't take long for them to overcome this problem. Homegrown grenades have already been distributed to front-line troops.

"We improved the time-delay fuse of the flowering bullet and developed our own grenade fuse, although there were still a few minor problems, but this did not affect the use." Walter pointed to the production line in front of him and said to Wen Hui.

Yes, that's why Wen Hui hesitated to sell them better artillery, because the first thought of this group of people when they saw good things was not to buy them on a large scale, but how to get the production technology to be produced on a large scale, and he didn't want to turn the arms business into a technology export transaction.

I don't want to think about the tanks on the ground, and the group of people in the First World War I definitely don't look down on them, and they have to have at least the tanks in the late World War II to have a say in the magic guide troops, but Wenhui doesn't have them on the current sales list. The planes in the sky are only two-wing wooden planes, which can be considered for sale, but it is definitely the way to introduce them first and then produce them themselves.

Absent-mindedly sightseeing in the big factory, speaking of which, there is also a share of Wenhui. inspected his own industry, but Wen Hui couldn't be interested in it, this large-scale factory was completely competing with him for business, and it was really difficult to do business where technology did not form a generation gap!

Turning around and coming to the shipyard, looking at the huge thick steel plates being spliced together, Wen Hui's eyes lit up, this is only the era of pure steel plate protection, and armor steel has not yet been developed, but the steel for shipbuilding can be sold to them.

Laying the keel, building the hull, and outfitting after completion, the process is similar to the steps on earth, and Wen Hui also specially inquired about the range of the ship's guns here.

"The maximum range is four kilometers, but it is generally two kilometers away, and the two sides are close to 1.5 kilometers before they officially fight." Pinching his chin, this data is really good in the sail era, but it is not good in the steam age, it seems that the warship business still has to be done!

"Any questions?" Hearing Wen Hui ask about the warship here, a thought popped up in Walter's heart, and then he couldn't suppress the breeding of this idea, "Dmitry has the ability to sell warships?" ”

"If I say yes, do you have the money to buy it?" Wen Hui asked rhetorically with a smile.

Happiness came too suddenly! Walter reacted like everyone else, his eyes widened and he didn't speak, when they visited the transport ship just now, they thought it was forbidden to sell, but they didn't expect to get a positive answer after the tentative question, and it was still a warship! But Wen Hui's subsequent words drove them into the abyss, and now there is really no money left to buy warships.

It is a miracle that the country's finances have barely supported the war. Now the troops have to change their outfits again, and they have to maintain the normal operation of the troops, and they have to ensure the funds of the magic guide troops, and the warships in the shipyard have been planned for a long time, and the keels have been laid, so they can't stop building!

Counting all the way, the finances are already very struggling. There was no money left to buy a new warship, but the thought of the slender hull made Walter's heart feel like a cat's scratch, and his intuition told him that such a ship would definitely help them gain superiority at sea.

At present, he can only drool, Walter is very sorry, listening to the tone of the young man in front of him, now as long as there is money, they can get the goods, but it is a pity that they can't get the purchase funds. Thinking of this, I lost interest in visiting with a semi-ostentatious nature.

After everyone left hastily, Wen Hui returned to Hess's manor as usual, and after a day of wandering, he was covered in stinky sweat, and he didn't want to sleep at all without washing!

I took a bath and came out wrapped in a bath towel, and it seemed that there was something else to do at night. Wen Hui, who was about to get dressed, was stunned, the maid who came to give him clothes in front of him was actually the spy, and she hadn't left yet!

"Why haven't you left yet?" It stands to reason that if you are exposed, shouldn you leave as soon as possible, when did the buddy give people such a sense of security, Wen Hui asked under question.

"Would you like to have a gathering tonight, sir?" Marwen asked with a smile.

"If you can afford to take the samples with you, I can go." As usual, the sample was prepared, but the volume was a little too large to carry, and Wen Hui didn't believe that Germania had not arranged for someone to monitor him.

"That's it, it's your dress, I hope you have a good night!" Putting down her clothes, Marwen saluted like a normal maid and exited the room.

This is a bit interesting, the two sides on the frontline battlefield are fighting to the death, and the espionage activities in the rear are also very lively. can actually run to other people's royal capital to operate openly, should they be said to be too crazy, or should they say that the counter-espionage awareness here is too poor.

After getting dressed, Hess's butler came over to inform him that there was an invitation to a banquet tonight, Hess and Wenhui were both invited, and the host of the banquet was a famous courtesan in the royal capital.

"Heh, women really have an advantage." After getting into the carriage, Wen Hui sighed while taking the sample outside.
