In another time and space, the United States relied on two world wars to completely overturn the old order.
The Americans did everything they could to make money. After draining the treasury of European countries, they took out loans. When the loans could not be repaid, they introduced the "Lend-Lease Act". When European countries could no longer afford to rent, the Americans would personally
Going into battle would be like knocking your bones and sucking out your marrow.
Southern Africa now wants to follow the path of the Americans, leaving the Americans with nowhere to go.
In terms of resources, Southern Africa is richer than the United States.
In terms of technology, southern Africa is more advanced than the United States.
Even in terms of human resources, southern Africa has gradually caught up with the United States.
"Catching up" here only refers to population size.
In terms of quality, southern Africa has already surpassed the United States.
Don’t forget that since the World War, southern Africa has become the first choice for Europeans to immigrate.
Even Americans are immigrating to southern Africa.
This is also what Rock wants to see.
Rock didn't want to see a long Cold War after the world war.
What’s more, I don’t want the future world to be dominated by one American family and let those North American slave owners control the world.
Rock hopes that the lunar exploration project will not stop for inexplicable reasons, and that after exploring the moon, he will continue to explore further into deep space.
Rock does not want a country to rely on global blood transfusions to maintain its international status.
From this perspective, the United States is no different from landlords in feudal society.
Roque still attaches great importance to orders from Spain.
Sidney Milner, under Rock's instruction, established a business organization specifically responsible for business negotiations in this area.
The organization has many members, and all famous enterprises in southern Africa are included, especially in the military industry. Nyasaland Military Industry, Nyasaland Heavy Industries, Nyasaland Aviation, Shipping Group, etc. are all among them.
Umbrella companies are also involved.
In response to the impending Spanish Civil War, Umbrella Company provided a comprehensive plan for the Spanish Republican Government, providing a full range of services to the Spanish Republican Government to help it win the civil war.
Umbrella companies are also experienced in this area.
After all, in Brazil, Umbrella Company has fully proven its ability by helping the Mi State government defeat the U.S.-Brazilian coalition.
The person who contacted Clavier Calderon on behalf of the Umbrella Company was Lu Shao, the general manager of the Umbrella Company.
"The federal government of Southern Africa is restricted by the League of Nations and cannot cooperate with the republican government. Our umbrella is a commercial company with unrestricted commercial freedom. We can provide you with everything you need, aircraft, tanks, warships, instructors, if the republican government
If necessary, we can even directly send troops to participate in the war. Of course, it must be in the name of volunteers." Lu Shao took over everything, and the umbrella company had already broken through the so-called "not participating in disputes between major powers" restrictions.
As a paramilitary organization, Umbrella Corporation has more than 50,000 registered mercenaries year-round.
There are a large number of professional talents among them, and the Umbrella Company can even form a staff composed entirely of senior military officers. With this alone, the strength of the Umbrella Company has surpassed that of most countries in the world.
As for the volunteers, they had their own name in the Spanish Civil War called "International Brigades".
"The price you provide is much more expensive than that of the Americans." Clavi Calderon returned the money after landing. The price of weapons provided by Southern Africa is about 10% higher than the price of weapons provided by American companies.
For example, the largest number of rifles.
The improved Lee Enfield models sold in southern Africa are priced at R75 each.
Each American Springfield quote is equivalent to R68.
Spain has certain domestic military industry capabilities, but its production capacity is insufficient and there is still a large demand for rifles.
The Spanish Republican government has ordered mobilization to recruit 350,000 troops across the country, and the demand for rifles is approximately 200,000.
This shows how lax Spain's armaments have become.
Even though Southern Africa is full of aircraft carriers and submarines all day long, Southern Africa’s annual arms budget is more than the countries in the world can afford to count on one hand.
Despite Spain's current weakness, Spain is a serious generation of global colonizers. At the peak of the Armada, the British were still playing piracy.
Between 1545 and 1560, the Spanish navy transported 5,500 kilograms of gold and 246,000 kilograms of silver back from overseas.
By the end of the 16th century, Spain accounted for 83% of the world's precious metal mining.
Therefore, although Spain currently has a serious lack of presence, it has a solid foundation, which is no worse than the United Kingdom and France.
But even for Spain, its annual military budget is kept at a minimum. In southern Africa, it is not even enough to maintain the Cyprus squadron, not to mention the Indian Ocean Fleet.
"Expensive means expensive. What we provide is a solution, not a simple arms purchase agreement. Our purpose is to help you win the war, not to make money." Lu Shao has a lotus tongue, everything is incidental to making money, from the umbrella company
The goal is world peace.
For a company that makes a living by serving war, its goal is actually world peace, which sounds a bit ridiculous, right?
But this is often the case. After helping the new Brazilian government win the Brazilian Civil War, the Umbrella Company did bring long-lost peace to Brazil. For this reason alone, the Umbrella Company is greater than the United States.
And the key point is that although the price of the rifle is a bit expensive, it is actually not expensive in total.
The rifles equipped by the Spanish army are Mauser rifles with the same origin as the American Springfield. The caliber is the same as 7.62, the ammunition capacity is five rounds, and the effective range is 800 meters.
The caliber of the improved Lee Enfield is also 7.62 mm, but the ammunition capacity is ten rounds. Compared with the Mauser, the effective range of the improved Lee Enfield is slightly lower, and the accuracy of the medium and short range is better, which has obvious advantages.
Even if you look at the 98K in the game, you may think that the Mauser rifle has high accuracy. In fact, the accuracy of the Mauser is not even as good as the 38K.
This is simply about accuracy. The power of the 38-meter cover is far inferior to that of the Mauser.
The improved Lee Enfield combines the strengths of various rifles. The most obvious advantage is the rate of fire. It can be said that except for the semi-automatic rifles currently in service in the Southern African Army, the rate of fire of the Lee Enfield is the fastest among all rifles in the world.
This is why Lee Enfields are more expensive than Springfields.
Moreover, weapons in southern Africa are expensive and other things are cheap, such as oil. The price quoted by Adán to the Spanish was about 10% cheaper than American Texaco and 15% cheaper than Rockefeller.
This is just a quotation. If freight is added, Adan's advantage will be even more obvious.
"Can your Umbrella Company directly send mercenaries without the permission of the federal government?" Clavi Calderon doubted the Umbrella Company's business capabilities.
"Hahaha, Umbrella Company is a commercial company." Lu Shao smiled. This is the benefit of the package agreement. For oil and mercenaries, even if the price of the rifle is a little more expensive, Clavi Calderon can still accept it.
Of course, the republican government can also purchase oil from southern Africa and rifles from the United States.
However, in this way, the republican government will not be able to please both parties, and may offend both parties.
In terms of military vehicles, Nyasaland Heavy Industries can provide the Spanish Republican Government with active military vehicles equipped by the Southern African military.
This is also an advantage that American car companies do not have.
In terms of automobiles, the United States' contact with Spain was Ford.
Ford Motor Co. has long been defeated by southern African car companies.
Moreover, a company famous for producing cheap cars will find it difficult to compete with southern African car companies in terms of trucks.
This is not true either. In terms of price, Ford has no advantage over Southern African car companies.
The person who contacted Calderon on behalf of Nyasaland Heavy Industries was Harrison Cooper, general manager of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.
"Nyaasaland Heavy Industry has a long history. We built the world's first tractor in 1903 and the world's first real car in 1905. In 1907, we began to produce armored vehicles. The 'Tiger' currently in service in southern Africa
"Leopard" tanks were all produced by Nyasaland Heavy Industries." Harrison Cooper's face was filled with pride when he mentioned the history of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.
This is half true and half false, and must be mixed with bragging. However, there is no doubt about the strength of Nyasaland Heavy Industries. It is one of the most powerful military industrial companies in the world.
"Why are there no 'Tiger' and 'Panther' in this list?" Like everyone who wants to purchase tanks, Calderon is most concerned about the "Tiger" and "Panther".
After all, let’s not talk about the performance, these two names sound very powerful.
"The most advanced is not the best, the most suitable is the best," Harrison Cooper said sincerely. The Spanish, like the French, are very ambitious.
It's not too ambitious. Who doesn't like good things? The price offered by Nyasaland Heavy Industries for the tank is not much cheaper than the "Leopard" type.
"The Phalangists have reached an agreement with the Germans and will obtain a large number of Panzer No. 1 tanks from Germany. I can guarantee that the Panzer No. 1 tanks are definitely no match for the 'Pusman'. If they meet on the battlefield, a 'Pusman' can easily
Against ten Panzer 1 tanks." Harrison Cooper's information is conclusive, it is not a secret that the Germans have begun to produce tanks.
In the Treaty of Versailles, tanks were also banned.
The Germans are still very talented in mechanics. Karl Benz and Rudolf Diesel are both Germans.
However, in terms of tanks, there is still a gap between Germany and southern Africa.
Germany's Panzer 1 tank has similar performance to the Renault produced by France during the last World War. According to Southern African standards, it is not even a light tank and can only be regarded as an enhanced version of an armored vehicle.
In order to test the performance of the Panzer 1 tank through war, Germany exported a large number of Panzer 1 tanks to the Spanish Falangists to help the Spanish Falangists form armored forces.
It's amazing that a country that has not even had tanks for more than ten years has to help another country that has never been subject to any restrictions to develop armored forces.
Roque also hoped to test the performance of southern African weapons on the Spanish battlefield.
