Chapter 138 German and British Systems

Seeing that the production line for purchasing weapons could not be realized for the time being, Yuzawa Koichiro returned the target to the weapons themselves and said with a hint of compliment: "Sir, how much are the selling prices of these weapons? We hope to purchase a large number of British-made weapons. To meet the needs of our expanding military."

Since the island nation began to reform, it has always had a tradition of importing weapons and warships from Western countries.

Especially when the British Empire needed island countries as hunting dogs to fight against the Russian Empire, the island countries were also very sensible and smart enough to join the British Empire.

At present, the equipment and warships used by the island country's navy and army basically come from the British Empire. From rifles to battleships, they are all made by the British.

Although such unified British equipment will increase the funds required for procurement, it also reduces a great burden on logistics.

If a country cannot achieve self-production and self-sufficiency in its weapons, then the best way is to uniformly purchase equipment from a country with powerful weapons, rather than making its own country's weapons made by all nations.

Although the equipment made by Wanguo is cheaper and has a wide variety, there is also a lot of room for choice.

However, there is also a huge flaw in using weapons made by all countries, that is, when entering a period like war that has extremely demanding logistical supply and requirements, weapons made by all countries with a wide variety and very complex logistics will become a drag on the national economy and logistics supply. burden.

Just imagine, when the logistics supplies from the rear finally arrived, the soldiers suddenly discovered that the weapons they used could not use this kind of bullets, which was also a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.

This is also the reason why Australia’s army equipment is uniformly produced by itself. It can not only avoid more complex weapon systems, but also reduce the pressure on the wartime logistics system.

When talking about the purchase of weapons, Australia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs also became enthusiastic and promoted with excitement: "Mr. Yuzawa Koichiro and Mr. Hirano Toshiu, we in Australia currently have two relatively complete sets of weapons and equipment systems, one from The British Empire and the German Empire. If your country wants to purchase weapons and equipment for the army, I sincerely recommend the equipment of the German Empire to both of you.”

"German Army equipment?" Yuzawa Koichiro and Hirano Toshiyo looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

Although they seek refuge in and please the British Empire, all islanders have naturally heard of the reputation of the German Empire, which currently has the world's largest army.

If the British Empire is the undisputed overlord of the sea, then the Army of the German Empire is the iron-blooded and powerful army that any country covets.

Of course, under the slightly crazy militaristic education of the islanders, the ideological education of the island army is very successful, and it is no worse than the German army in terms of being brave and fearless of death.

However, in terms of logistical supplies and weapons and equipment, the German Empire's army was more than a little ahead of the island nation's army.

"Dear Minister of Foreign Affairs, can your country really sell German-made army weapons and equipment to us?" Yuzawa Koichiro said with some expectation.

"Of course, with the good relationship between Australia and the German Empire, we have the production technology of German-made rifles, machine guns, artillery and even various warships. These weapons are all weapons that Australia can sell to foreign countries after being approved by His Highness the Duke. "The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs said with a smile on his face.

Yuzawa Koichiro and Hirano Toshiyo looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement and worry in each other's eyes.

German-made weapons and equipment are indeed very attractive, especially German-made army equipment, many of which are even ahead of British weapons and equipment.

However, the island country has already concluded an alliance with the British Empire. If the island country equips a large number of German-made weapons and equipment, will it have an impact on the alliance between the island country and the British Empire, or even affect the cooperative relationship between the island country and the British Empire?

Butler Hunter, who had already understood the concerns of the two envoys from the island country and had been silent, said with a smile: "Are you two worried that the purchase of German-made equipment will affect the relationship with the British Empire? You can rest assured, your Majesty The country is only cooperating with us, not with Germany. All the weapons and equipment purchased by your country are independently manufactured by Australia. Although these weapons and equipment come from German technology, they are all weapons with independent production technology in Australia. It’s also Australian now, isn’t it?”

Butler Hunter's words hit the nail on the head, making the two hesitant Japanese envoys instantly cheerful.

Although it is German-made weapons and equipment, the country of production is Australia, and the country of cooperation is also Australia.

With the good relationship between Australia and the British Empire, the British Empire shouldn't be angry, right?

The two envoys of the island country are like two humble licking dogs. They have to carefully consider the attitude of the British Empire in everything they do.

"Sogasnai! Can we see how powerful the weapons and equipment are? Please rest assured that we are definitely not doubting the quality of the weapons produced by your country. We just want to see how powerful the German-made weapons and equipment are compared to the British-made weapons. Different, after seeing the power of German-made weapons, we can sign a weapons import treaty at any time." After thinking it through, Yuzawa Koichiro said eagerly.

According to the strategic plot of the island country, there is a huge conflict between the strategy of the island country in East Asia and the Far East and the Far East strategy of the Russian Empire. This also means that the two countries either have a choice to retreat or let the war decide which country to give up.

But you have to know that unlike the core area of ​​the Russian Empire in Europe, the entire island country is located in East Asia. If you give up your strategic position in East Asia, it is actually equivalent to giving up the opportunity to rise.

Even if the enemy is the old power, the Russian Empire, which has the title of the European bulldozer, these islanders with a distorted mentality will never give up. They have even begun to make plans to frantically please the British Empire and the United States in exchange for the support of these two countries to prepare for the war with the Russian Empire.

Everyone, including the emperor, tightened their belts and saved money to develop the army and navy in order to realize the dream of all the islanders.

The islanders did not think about building a good relationship with the German Empire, but the German Empire currently pays more attention to winning over the Russian Empire, so naturally they have no good feelings for the island countries, which are potential enemies of the Russian Empire.

Yuzawa Yukiichiro and Hirano Toshisuke are very excited to have the opportunity to obtain a large number of German weapons and equipment.
