"There are some tricks, but not regular channels, and there are some risks." Teraunuchi Masato said after thinking about it. He had thought for a long time before he decided to talk to the Prime Minister.

"Is that so? Let's talk about it." Keitaro frowned slightly, and then decided to listen first.

"The Bavarian military is said to have to change the equipment in large quantities. They will almost eliminate all old artillery, including machine guns, artillery, a large number of ammunition, etc. The inventory is very huge, so some German nobles have obtained some weapons through their own channels. They are now selling them out, mainly various guns. However, the person we contacted is somewhat superb. It is said that they can provide us with at least 80 artillery pieces and more than 100,000 shells, and the price is only 30% off for the new product." said Masato Tanuchi.

"This should have an official background, but it is not ruled out that there is a suspicion of fraud," said Kanetaro.

"What they proposed was to deliver the goods and payment that year, and the arms were first transported to Dutch Indonesia and then delivered at the terminal. They could use bank checks, or hard currency such as gold and silver. They even suggested that it was OK to trade with rubber and copper ore." said Masato Tanuchi.

"There is no risk in this delivery method. So what are you nervous about?" Kanetaro asked curiously.

"Because the merchant named Mas also said that he could order new goods from official channels, mainly various rifles, but these goods require advance payment." said Masato Taruchi.

"How much can they provide for rifles? Are there any guns that can shoot continuously without bullets and just pulling the trigger?" said Kanetaro.

"Of course, they promoted some of the weapons to the public, many of which were used for export to the United States. In the United States and Canada can legally possess rifles. Of course, there are also Russian Cossack cavalry, who thought that the production capacity was limited, so these weapons were more popular. They needed to pay a deposit in advance, and they would never change the caliber." Kanetaro thought for a while and said.

"How much can he get at a time? Can machine guns be obtained? The kind used by the German army." Kanetaro asked. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 still had a great impact on Japan. At least after fighting with the Bavarian Blue Legion, they suddenly discovered that the advanced posture of the battle turned out to be like this. The German faction within the Japanese army eventually completely overwhelmed the French faction, emphasizing firepower rather than melee. The Japanese then discovered that their economy did not seem to support Japan in building a German-style army.

"Although the Bavarian Kingdom is only 78,000 square kilometers, their permanent troops are more than 60% of the empire. The combat power will definitely not be lower than that of the Japanese Army." Masato Teraunuchi heard this argument more than once. Although he didn't say anything, he also agreed with this view. After all, Bavaria still has 3 armies and 2 additional divisions. Even if it is not a reserve army, there are nearly 140,000 people! When it comes to firepower equipment, the things people throw down are stronger than Japan. There are more machine guns, more artillery, and more heavy artillery. This is the understanding of the Bavarian Legion in Japan.

"If the funds are enough, you can get at least 1,000 semi-automatic rifles within three months, and the machine gun can also be provided. However, 50% of the payment must be paid in advance." said Masato Desauchi.
