Chapter eight hundred and thirty sixth arms trade competition
The shipbuilding industry of the Daheng Empire relied on its low-price strategy to directly impact the global shipbuilding market and continuously seize the shipbuilding markets of other countries. In the 16th year of Qian Sheng, the Daheng Empire had become the second largest merchant ship supplier in the world. , and the gap with the Kingdom of Krul, which is the largest supplier of merchant ships, is very small.
In the field of arms trade, the Krul Kingdom hates how prosperous the weapons exports of the Daheng Empire have been in recent years.
In the field of weapons export, the Daheng Empire competes with the Kingdom of Krul in all aspects, ranging from rifles to battleships.
Especially the recent military orders from the Mongol Khanate, for which the two countries had a fierce competition.
This military order from the Mongol Khanate is a mixed order for the army and navy. The army needs advanced weapons such as artillery, machine guns, and rifles, while the navy needs to order several cruisers.
In particular, what they require is the most advanced weapons and equipment. At the same time, the Mongol Khanate was the traditional arms buyer of the Kingdom of Krul in the early years. In the following years, it continued to import weapons from the Daheng Empire. Therefore, the new The orders for the round are basically placed in the Daheng Empire or the Kingdom of Krul, so that the logistics system can continue to be maintained without having to re-establish a new logistics system.
This was a large order worth more than 15 million yuan, and the two countries fought fiercely for it.
In the end, the Daheng Empire won!
In order to compete for orders, the Daheng people directly brought out the latest improved Fuyuan Type 5 rifles, heavy machine guns, and army artillery. At the same time, they also customized a three-thousand-ton protected cruiser for the Mongol Khanate.
The most important thing is that it is cheap, and they also promise to send military instructors for guidance, especially military instructors from the army to help them integrate a modern army.
The Mongol Khanate was already very strapped for funds, so it naturally leaned towards the offer from the Daheng Empire. More importantly, the Daheng Empire promised to send military instructors to help them reorganize a modern army, and at the same time accept their military students.
For no other reason, even if it is to learn from the Daheng people in reorganizing a modern army, they still prefer the Daheng people.
After all, everyone knows that the army of the Daheng people is the best in the world, and almost all armies around the world follow the Daheng Army to cross the river...
However, in the past, the Daheng Empire did not welcome foreign military students to study. For a long time, only the Orr Kingdom, a wealthy country, could send people to study.
However, in recent years, the people of Daheng have also been thinking about it. In order to cooperate with the export of weapons, the people of Daheng have opened up their mouths and started to open 'international classes' at the Army Officer School and the Army University to specifically recruit international students and target them. Teaching about sex.
This international class does not accept self-reports from students, but only accepts officially dispatched international students.
This international class is very attractive to many countries, especially small and medium-sized countries, because there they can receive the most advanced army education on Blue Star.
Even in order to obtain a quota for sending overseas students, Daheng people will specially purchase army equipment.
Therefore, the Daheng Empire’s arms exports are actually more popular than naval equipment!
This can be seen from the Daheng people's series of rifle exports.
For example, the main equipment of the previous generation of Daheng people, the Fuyuan Type IV rifle with tubular magazine, has a total export volume of one million. This does not include the subsequent sales of this rifle at a low price or simply military assistance after Daheng retired. A batch of second-hand goods, and also sold multiple production lines, granted numerous patent authorizations, and the total output of imitation production in other countries is higher.
This does not include the so-called self-developed tubular magazine rifles of other countries.
How should I put it? Seven or eight years ago, almost all the armies of the major and medium-sized countries in Blue Star used tubular magazine rifles...
And when the Fuyuan Type 5 rifle came out, the export volume was equally terrifying!
This rifle was developed relatively early by Daheng people. However, in the early years, due to the relatively high cost and the need to keep smokeless gunpowder confidential, it has always been a small-scale equipment. It was probably not developed until the ninth year of Qian Sheng. Scale change.
After this rifle was exposed, it immediately became Blue Star's new generation standard rifle. Those in the eight major countries who had the ability to develop similar rifles themselves, but those who did not have the ability to purchase them from Daheng people.
The Daheng Empire also officially relaxed export controls after the twelfth year of Qian Sheng, allowing the gun to be exported to some countries.
What was the export volume of this rifle in the past four years?
One million and two hundred thousand!
If nothing unexpected happens, in the sixteen years of Qian Sheng, the total export volume of this series of rifles can reach 400,000. This number does not include the number of imitation production in other countries authorized by the patent, but only the number of production and export by Daheng.
This is a very scary number!
Not to mention other countries exporting so much, even their annual production capacity of rifles cannot reach such a high level.
The production capacity of various types of weapons in the Daheng Empire is very high. The annual production capacity of various models of Fuyuan Type 5 rifles for personal use and foreign trade can reach more than 600,000 pieces.
This is the production capacity in peacetime!
To be able to maintain such a large production capacity during peacetime requires huge orders. Without such a large number of orders, how could the Daheng Empire maintain such a large-scale peacetime production capacity.
Not only are rifles widely welcomed, Daheng people's artillery is also widely praised by Blue Star countries.
The rifle sells well because the design of Daheng people is more advanced.
But when Daheng people buy artillery, to be honest, what they buy is not performance, but feelings!
Everyone around the world knows that the Daheng people are loyal believers in artillery. Many foreigners have very exaggerated impressions of the Daheng army's war. They think that the Daheng people don't care about anything in the war. They first use large-caliber heavy artillery to blast it once, and then use it again. Explode once with medium-caliber grenades, then hit again with small- and medium-caliber field artillery, and then use mortars again.
After the bombardment and seeing that the enemy was almost dead, we started to charge.
What, it’s not over yet? Then repeat it again...
Therefore, people rigidly believe that the Daheng people's artillery is better. Even if the actual performance is average, they don't need to brag about it. They can talk about how good the artillery is.
Of course, in the early stage, the artillery had to be equipped by the Daheng people themselves.
It is generally better to buy the artillery models that Daheng people equip themselves.
From large-caliber long-range suppression heavy artillery, to medium-caliber field artillery, to 60mm mortars, all the artillery models equipped by the Daheng Army are basically selling well.
Even if other countries don't buy them, they will follow suit and imitate similar artillery pieces.
This can be seen from the current calibers of artillery in various countries, because the current calibers of artillery in various countries are basically the same.
