When the Rana family was in power, the position of every prime minister was actually unstable.
In order to prevent the younger son from succeeding to the throne and give the king an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Rana family adopted the inheritance method from brother to brother.
This has indeed prevented the resurgence of the royal family to a certain extent, but internal strife often occurs within the Rana family for the position of prime minister, so the current prime minister, Chandra Shamsher Rana, still has a strong need for weapons.
of.
Chandra Shamsher Rana is also a real talent of the time. He received a higher education and was the first Prime Minister of Nepal to obtain a degree.
Internally, Chandra implemented some relatively enlightened policies, such as abolishing slavery, building the first university in Nepal, sending the first batch of international students to Japan, etc.
But at the same time, Chandra, like other prime ministers, is also very greedy in terms of wealth.
During his tenure as Prime Minister, Chandra transferred a large amount of national wealth to his personal name and transferred it overseas to deal with emergencies.
However, due to Chandra's loyalty to the United Kingdom and with the strong support from London, Chandra was able to pass away peacefully. During his tenure as Prime Minister, Chandra was also considered to be the peak of the power of Nepal's Prime Minister.
The output of the Nyasaland Arsenal has always been low. The monthly output of rifles is only about 500. The total output of light and heavy machine guns is less than 50. The output of pistols exceeds 1,000. That is because ordinary people have a taste for pistols.
demand, so Nyasaland Arsenal will increase the production of pistols.
However, the Nyasaland Arsenal now has another flagship product, which is the Nepalese scimitar. Rock also brought a Nepalese scimitar to General Rana.
The scimitar given to General Rana was certainly not a mass product distributed to the troops. This scimitar was given to Itno for decoration after the blade was cast at the Nyasaland Arsenal.
When the craftsmen of Itno decorated this scimitar, they were of course extremely luxurious. The handle was inlaid with diamonds, the scabbard was made of crocodile skin, and there were patterns composed of various rubies and sapphires on the scabbard.
General Rana liked the decoration, so he immediately placed an order for 500 scimitars.
Five hundred people, exactly the number of General Lannes' guards, not even counting the guards protecting the king.
The quality of the scimitars sold for export is definitely not as good as those equipped by the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, but it is still praised by Rock as being rare in the world and unparalleled on the ground.
General Rana was simply elated. Although the weapons at the Nyasaland Arsenal were more expensive than weapons in the UK, General Rana still placed an order from the Nyasaland Arsenal based on the equipment of a battalion.
The total value of the order is not high, not exceeding 100,000 pounds, but it is a good start, and this is how the business is slowly developed.
In the evening, General Rana held a grand welcome dinner for Roque at Narayanhiti Palace, and Roque finally met the King of Nepal, Prithvi Bir, who had been under house arrest.
The Nepalese royal family is a tragedy. On June 2, 2001, the then Crown Prince of Nepal Dipendra shot and killed many members of the royal family, including his parents, and then committed suicide.
The tragedy occurred because Crown Prince Dipendra wanted to marry the daughter of a former government minister, but was opposed by his family, and then Crown Prince Dipendra's automatic rifle went off.
The current king Prithvi Bill is obviously not as courageous as his descendants. Facing Rock and Chandra, the king showed a bit of flinch, which is not commensurate with his status.
Rock had no intention of bringing things right. After politely greeting the king, Rock focused more on Chandra.
What makes Rock uncomfortable is that the dinner held by Chandra for Rock is not a Western buffet, but an Eastern-style dinner with one person and one table.
Rock's location is very close to Chandra, right next to him. Although Rock is a British noble, in Nepal, Rock is a guest after all, and his position cannot be above the king and prime minister.
Of course, the banquet was all about drinking and drinking. Rock was not in the mood to enjoy the performance at the center of the venue, so he and Chandra chatted casually.
"Yes, these weapons are all produced in Southern Africa. Southern Africa is rich in natural resources. The raw materials used to manufacture these weapons are all produced in Southern Africa. The Nyasaland Arsenal now has strong design capabilities. We
"General-purpose machine guns and mortars are very competitive around the world, as the Russo-Japanese War that just ended has proved this." Roque spared no effort in promoting, believing that Nepal will still have demand for weapons in the future. p>
During the Russo-Japanese War, the Nyasaland Arsenal sold weapons to the Russians and the Japanese respectively. Those weapons performed very well on the battlefield, especially mortars. The Japanese army relied on mortars to target enemies hiding behind bunkers.
The Russian troops caused heavy casualties, and observers from all over the world knew about this. After the war, the Nyasaland Arsenal received many orders, a large part of which were purchased and then studied.
Rock is not afraid of research. Nyasaland Arsenal has applied for mortar patents in many countries, including Britain, Germany, the United States, and France. No matter which country wants to produce it, it must purchase a license from Nyasaland Arsenal.<
/p>
The same goes for general-purpose machine guns. Unlike most machine guns that are popular nowadays, general-purpose machine guns have also won the trust of many countries because of their excellent versatility and logistical support. The Austro-Hungarian Empire showed the most urgency. After the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire
The Nyasaland Arsenal has ordered 500 general-purpose machine guns. According to the current production level of the Nyasaland Arsenal, this order is enough for the Nyasaland Arsenal to last for one year.
Unfortunately, Chandra did not know how well the weapons produced by Nyasaland Arsenal performed in the Russo-Japanese War. After all, during the Russo-Japanese War, Nepal did not send military observers to the battlefield, but this did not prevent Chandela from sending military observers to the battlefield.
Chandra was very interested in the products of Nyasaland, especially the cars produced in Port Edward, and he asked for fifty cars at the outset.
"Sorry, Port Edward is unable to provide cars to the outside world in a short period of time. In the past month, the car factory in Port Edward has received orders for at least a thousand cars. Even if it is ordered now, production will not be arranged until at least the year after next.
Schedule." Rock was very proud. These orders were all obtained by Rock during this period in Dhaka.
The "Tiger" military car has a huge advantage over the cars of this period. The styling of European cars during this period was shockingly ugly. Although the "Tiger" car is not very good-looking, it depends on who you compare with.
Compared with those classic models of the future, the "Tiger" military car is actually ugly, but compared with the cars of this period, the "Tiger" is far superior to a large-scale military car in terms of appearance and performance.
Cut.
During Roque's time in Dhaka, many dignitaries rode in Roque's cars, and orders continued to flow from there. Even Lord Belloc placed an order for ten cars and requested delivery as soon as possible.
Rock didn't ask Lord Belloc why he wanted so many cars. Whether it was for giving away or for personal use, Rock had no control over it. Anyway, Rock was very satisfied with the profit from the order.
"Lord, as long as it can be delivered as soon as possible, I am willing to increase the price." Chandra must not be able to bear to get the car only the next year. Cars these days are a symbol of identity and status. If even the king of Nepal does not have the ability to use a fleet, Chandela
However, Dra can be used in advance, which is also a guarantee for Chandra's status.
"General, if we can get the car as soon as possible, then I believe all the order owners will be willing to increase the price." Roque was not accommodating. In Nepal, Chandra is undoubtedly a big shot, but other people who buy cars are not bastards either.
These days, everyone who can afford a car is a big shot, and Rock doesn’t want to offend anyone.
I don’t dare to offend either.
Because there is nothing wrong with this.
While Rock and Chandra were chatting, a dancing woman in traditional Nepalese clothes slowly approached Rock and Chandra in the center of the venue.
Chandra hadn't noticed yet, but Rock had quietly taken notice of it.
At this time, the music played by the band at the venue was getting faster and faster, and the dancers were spinning faster and faster. Other dignitaries attending the banquet were happily clapping to the beat, and some were toasting in celebration.
However, Rock saw a hint of murderous intent in the dancer's eyes.
In this kind of fast-rotating dance, the face is always aligned in one direction as much as possible and will not rotate with the rotation of the body. Even if it needs to rotate, it will turn around as quickly as possible, otherwise the dancer's body will
I can't stand it.
Rock discovered something was wrong from the dancer's expression.
When the dancer rotated until she was only two or three meters away from Chandra, the dancer suddenly took out the hairpin on her head and pounced towards Chandra.
Chandra didn't react at all, and those who reacted quickly only had time to exclaim. The band was still playing at this time, and no one noticed the sudden change in the center of the venue.
Rock didn't have time to think, he directly lifted the table in front of him with his feet and threw it at the dancer, and then took out the pistol from the quick-draw holster on his waist.
In the entire hall, except for the guards who are farther away, Roque is the only one qualified to carry a pistol.
Although the dancer rushed over quickly, she was not as fast as the table that Rock smashed over. By the time the dancer hurriedly dodged across the table, Rock had already raised his gun and pointed it at the dancer.
"Don't move-" As soon as Roque started to speak, the dancer threw the hairpin in her hand at Chandra.
Roque really regrets it, he shouldn’t talk nonsense at this time.
Fortunately, Rock's skills were still very nimble. Before he could push the hairpin away, Rock kicked Chandra to the ground and shot without hesitation.
Boom! Boom!
Years of hard training finally paid off. The dancer was shot three times, but none of them were critical.
"Come here, come here, arrest this damn guy -" Only then did Chandra react, her voice breaking with excitement.
