In the end, Mr. Richard, a construction machinery importer from the UK, ordered 500 bulldozers from Great Wall Heavy Industries at one time. Because he was not satisfied with the protective measures of this bulldozer for workers, he specifically requested that the thickness of the shell be thickened and the other half open.
The observation position has also been changed to a closed one that can rotate 360 degrees. Of course, the price has also increased to 200,000 yuan per unit, but this small amount of money is nothing to the British Empire, and 500 units are nothing more.
One hundred million Chinese yuan and thirty tons of gold.
What he didn't know was that less than two hours after he left here, another construction machinery importer from Germany was standing in the same position as him. But unlike him, this German businessman only needed to
The price of the chassis system of this bulldozer has also dropped to 100,000 yuan. Of course, he wanted a larger quantity, a total of two thousand sets. Now the Kiel Canal is under construction like crazy, and the Germans have a huge demand for bulldozers.
exuberant.
Then the Russians, French, and Austrians were invited one after another. Soon the bulldozer orders in the hands of Great Wall Heavy Industries had put great pressure on the production department, especially the Russians, who asked for a thousand basic bulldozers.
Fortunately, Great Wall Heavy Industries has three production bases in China, and Sweden's Volvo Cars and Confederate General Motors can join in the production. Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce so many bulldozers in one year anyway.
Of course, this thing sells more than just bulldozers, including parts, especially parts with limited lifespans like engines. In addition, as a high-tech product, it also requires special care in maintenance, such as lubricants, and because of the fuel.
The quality requirements are relatively high, and diesel additives need to be imported from China. Even for countries with backward industrial levels like Russia, it is best to import diesel as well. All in all, these bulldozers have driven the prosperity of countless factories.
After selling the bulldozer, at a base near Beijing, guests from Russia were visiting the latest combat defense artillery specially customized for them.
"The caliber is 25 millimeters, the weight is 300 kilograms, the maximum effective range is 1,500 meters, the fastest rate of fire can reach 15 rounds per minute, and the latest alloy armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate 100 millimeters thick steel plates within 500 meters.
Any tank armor currently on the battlefield cannot stop its attack. Even the one your country just ordered from Great Wall Heavy Industries can be easily penetrated by it." An officer spoke and motioned to the soldiers next to him to proceed.
Demonstration.
The soldier then took out a very mini artillery shell from the ammunition box next to him and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun. At the same time, the gunner next to him began to quickly aim at a steel plate erected in the distance. The bell-mouthed gun barrel instantly pointed to the bullseye.
Then the gun rope was pulled, and the shells were shot out like lightning with muzzle flames.
This artillery group did not pause at all, then inserted the second shell, and fired again with a slight movement of the muzzle, and fired continuously without stopping, forcing the artillery to the rate of fire of the rifle, and did not stop until one minute passed.
.
Then the officer took the Russian officer and the accompanying attendant Yuan to the steel plate. At this time, this ten-centimeter-thick steel plate had been beaten into a hornet's nest by tungsten alloy homogeneous armor-piercing bullets.
"How is it, Your Excellency the Count? With this kind of thing, the German tanks are no different from scrap metal to you." Attendant Yuan said with a smile as he looked at the Russian Count who came to inspect the goods.
The count was almost dumbfounded. This was a steel plate ten centimeters thick. From a few hundred meters away, this thing was directly beaten into a sieve. If it were replaced by those German tanks, it would not be possible to hit them with one shot.
Damn, he didn't know it was armored steel. It was mild steel for civilian use, and there was no comparison at all.
"Okay, now we have seen the cannon. I believe you should be sure that there are no problems. It is rare for Your Excellency to come to China once, and I have arranged some activities for you. Why don't we go back to Beijing first and discuss the price and quantity in detail?
Details like that." Attendant Yuan said with a smile.
Yang Feng's anti-tank gun is actually a copy of the 25mm anti-tank gun used by the French in the early days of World War II. Of course, its performance has shrunk somewhat, but on the battlefield of this era, it can definitely be said that
It is a sharp weapon that can vertically penetrate more than 30 mm thick armor steel plates within a distance of 500 meters. Even against the ones he is currently selling in large quantities, it is definitely an effective anti-tank weapon.
Of course, if the distance is far away, it will definitely not be able to penetrate the front armor. If it is within two to three hundred meters, there will be absolutely no problem. In this way, a delicate balance will be formed between the tank and the combat anti-aircraft gun. The combat anti-aircraft gun can
Destroying tanks, but you need to risk a lot of casualties. Tanks are still effective weapons on the battlefield, but the number of losses will definitely not be less. In this way, he can continue to sell tanks while continuing to sell them.
Selling anti-war artillery that can destroy it is what a good arms dealer should do.
As for this demonstration, it was just for show. Using anti-tank cannons and tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles to hit ordinary steel plates was just like playing. This dude from Russia knew nothing. It was just for fun. Soon this
A count from St. Petersburg, under the introduction of Marquis Yuan Shikai, the Chief of Staff to the Emperor of China, signed a contract with the manager of the Royal Artillery Factory for five thousand combat anti-cannons and one million rounds of tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets at an entertainment venue in Beijing.
Supply contract.
Of course, what is written on the contract is not anti-war artillery and armor-piercing projectiles, but drilling machines and drill bits.
When Yang Feng was making a fortune from the war, bloody and desperate battles were still going on on the European battlefields. While the British army failed to attack on the western front, the French army's attack on the Marne River front was also in vain. After some rest and recuperation some time ago,
, the Germans have built a dense defense system on the north bank of the Marne River, with trenches, fortresses, and barbed wire stretching for hundreds of kilometers. The dense machine guns and artillery smashed the attackers' bodies with steel. The developed transportation system ensured the Germans'
Material supplies, in their country, countless factories are frantically producing, machine guns, cannons, artillery shells, bullets, poison gas bombs, are continuously sent to the front line through railways, roads and even canals, Romanian oil, German coal,
Swedish steel, Chinese machinery, and chemical raw materials are like needles for blood transfusion, constantly injecting blood into the bodies of Germans.
Of course, what was taken away was gold.
Of course, the same goes for their opponents.
In fact, this round of offensive is now over. The German offensive on the eastern front ended at the Vistula River, and the Bessarabia battlefield also ended at the Dniester River. With the continuous flow of arms purchased from China,
Sent to the front line, the Russians are gradually stabilizing their defense line. It is no longer possible for the Germans to achieve the high-speed breakthrough they had in the early stages. And their losses so far are also very serious. Although in this round of offensive, De Oro
The coalition forces killed at least 700,000 Russian troops and wounded and captured more than 700,000 Russian troops. However, their own losses were close to 500,000. In particular, the Austro-Hungarian army suffered more than 200,000 casualties. It was already somewhat weak.
What's more, the pressure from the British and French armies on the Western Front is increasing, and Germany is unable to mobilize troops from the Western Front. The sound of guns and artillery on the Eastern Front battlefield gradually begins to fall silent, and soon the Western Front, which was originally a containment offensive, also begins
Restore the previous confrontation status.
At this time, both sides of the war have understood that it is no longer the soldiers on the battlefield that determine the outcome of this war, but the factories behind the battlefield. Logistics supply is the key to the victory or defeat of the war. Without the continuous flow of arms and supplies,
It was unrealistic to win the war if all the factories were eliminated, so strategists from various countries immediately began to look for ways to attack the enemy's rear.
One midnight in October 1905, in London, the British capital, the British people far away from the battlefield had already fallen asleep, just like they usually did, unaware that a group of ghosts were silently approaching above their heads.
At an altitude of several thousand meters, twenty Zeppelin airships taking off from Dusseldorf, Germany, were flying towards the British capital at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Under the bright moonlight, the commander
Colonel Hall carefully observed the ground. The Thames River was his best landmark. Along the reflective river, his air fleet quickly flew to London.
"Prepare to drop bombs!" The German officer, who graduated from Oxford University, looked at the familiar city below and calmly gave the order to his men. The signal soldiers immediately used light signals to convey it to other boats. Twenty airships boarded
, the soldiers immediately got busy, and bombs weighing 50 kilograms were lined up at the bomb ejection port, waiting to be dropped.
At the same time, the boats began to gradually descend in height, and they all dropped to 500 meters. The streets of London below could be clearly seen. Colonel Hall gave the order to drop bombs, and then one bomb after another was pushed down, and there was a sharp whistling sound.
The tranquility of the night was immediately broken. As the first bomb fell on Piccadilly Avenue and exploded, turning a nearby store into ruins in an instant, the whole of London woke up.
Countless British people were awakened from their sleep. They threw themselves at the window like crazy and stared at their city with dumbfounded eyes. Huge bombs continued to fall. Amidst the sharp whistling sounds, terrifying fireballs followed one after another.
London exploded. London, which had not tasted the flames of war for hundreds of years, was being shattered bit by bit under this sudden blow. The wreckage of the buildings in the firelight was scattered in all directions, which looked spectacular.
"German airships!" Countless screams of fear suddenly sounded throughout the city. The twenty airships in the sky, backed by the moonlight, looked like a group of demons from hell, spreading death over the heads of the British. (To be continued.)
