The expansion of this time finally exceeded Fang Xiaoyu's prediction. In order to strengthen the firepower of the army, Xiao Jun's independent artillery division was adapted into a heavy artillery regiment.
The heavy artillery regiment is equipped with a large number of trucks, and it is also equipped with a part of the current land that can definitely be called the 2003 millimeter heavy artillery.
Due to the enlistment of a large number of elves, the special warriors have also been upgraded to the special combat army, and they are still Liao Jianchu and El division as commander and deputy commander, and Qiao Yun has been promoted to the deputy division of the third division.
The East Contribution region of China has sufficient force, and the first army of the Iron Blood Army was transferred back to the wild continent. After that, the Iron Army will be a full -time guarding of the wildland, where it will exist as Fang Xiaoyu's private industry and the base of China Group.
As the Iron Blood Army that defends the barbaric continent alone, it is not just a single army forces.
Prepare.
The Great Expansion of China has not threatened much of the countries such as the Sarl and the Boston Empire. After all, the Army could not threaten the sea, so they did not respond.
The only thing that was shocked was the Cossack Empire. Looking at this original small territory, it was actually a powerful strength that can be compared with himself.
When I thought of the difference, I did not persist to the end. As a result, I gave the Chinese leader's opportunity to develop and grow, and I even lost into my own blockbuster territory and the entire fleet. But now I regret it.
scale.
Although there are more than two million Army in the Cossac Empire, most of them have to defend the border of the Western continent, especially the Jacoman Empire that defending the Cossack Empire.
Since the last losing defeat, although Alexander III has stepped up the construction of the Berlia Railway, because a large amount of funds were used to restore the fleet, the railway construction funds were insufficient and could not be completed.
Whenever the finance is stretched, Alexander III looks greedily at the map on the map that the land led by China. The richness there is already recognized in the world.
It is also a matter of time to unify the entire East mainland, occupying the entire West continent.
After the expansion of the Chinese leadership, the Consulate of the Cossack Empire in China expressed concern about Wu Qiong's concern, but Wu Qiong used a country in the country, and other countries had no right to interfere with the country.
He also said directly to Consul Circus that the territory of the Cossack Empire was not as good as that of the Chinese collar, and there were only one million Chinese leaders. If you were worried, then the Cossack Empire was even more worrying.
The tough attitude of the Chinese leaders made the Cossck Empire very worried that if the Chinese leader and the Yamman Empire cooperated, it would be the disaster of the Cossack Empire.
In order to change the unfavorable strategic situation to themselves, the Cossack Empire began to send messengers to win the two major forces in the Monte Empire, hoping that they can merge again and form a pinch of the Chinese leader with the Cossack Empire.
Let them alliance with the Cossack Empire.
Although the Cossack Empire hated the Chinese leader, its weapons and equipment were too different from the Chinese leader's, so Alexander III has been trying to solve this problem.
China's technology, both military and civilian, is very tightly sealed. Only after the Thrall Empire purchased the design drawings of the lever-action rifle from China, it renamed it the Martini Henry rifle and quickly equipped its own army.
.
However, the Saar Empire also spent a lot of money on this. In order to maintain their army equipment advantage in the Western Continent, they had a very strict blockade on firearms technology. Even the Nantes Empire, which had always had a good relationship with them, could not obtain it.
Under the pressure of backward weapons and equipment, the powerful countries in the Western Continent began to increase their investment in weapons research, hoping to reverse their disadvantage as soon as possible.
The Arthur Arsenal of the Yaman Empire was the first to develop a rotating pull-back gun. Unfortunately, there were loopholes in their confidentiality measures. Before the weapon was finalized, the design drawings of the gun were stolen by spies from the Nantes Empire.
Soon the new rifle of the Nantes Empire, the Lebel rifle, was designed. Due to their guilty conscience, in order to show that they did not steal the drawings of Arthur Arsenal, they named this rifle the Type 90 Lebel rifle to represent their rifle.
The design is earlier than Arthur Arsenal's gun design.
This Lebel rifle has a caliber of only seven millimeters and is still single-shot. However, this rifle uses smokeless gunpowder independently developed by the Nantes Empire for the first time, and this gunpowder was quickly promoted. Many Westerners
Mainland countries purchased this gunpowder formula for production.
Arthur, who hated the Nantes Empire to his core, heard the news and rushed back to the Yaman Empire from China regardless of his still recovering body. Under his auspices, a new rifle was quickly designed.
In order to express its indignation against the Nantes Empire, the Yaman Empire named this rifle the Type 88 Arthur rifle to show that it was developed earlier than the Type 90 Lebel rifle. This rifle soon began to be mass-produced and equipped with troops.
Unlike the Lebel rifle of the Nantes Empire, Arthur's design talent was higher. Therefore, the Arthur rifle he designed did not use a single-shot ammunition supply, but adopted a magazine-type ammunition supply method. In this way, 88
The Arthur rifle can load five bullets at a time, greatly improving the firepower sustainability of this rifle.
The Yaman Empire did not impose strict technological controls on new rifles, so Arthur immediately announced that the Type 88 Arthur rifle would be sold to the world. After receiving this news, the first one to come to the door was the Kingdom of Kokand.
Kokand is a country in the Eastern Continent. It is located in the area where the Eastern Continent and the Mid-Continent meet. It is adjacent to the Lanfang Empire to the east, the Stanya Alliance of the Mid-Continent to the west, and the Cossack Empire to the north.
Since the Kokand Kingdom was conquered by the Cossack Empire decades ago, it has always been a dependent state of the Cossack Empire. This purchase of weapons is due to the instruction of the Cossack Empire.
The Cossack Empire and the Yaman Empire are feuding, so they cannot purchase weapons directly from the Yaman Empire. However, with the intermediary of the Kokand Kingdom, it is different. At least Arthur has an explanation to the government, so the first batch of order contracts is very happy.
It was signed.
Kokand used its foreign exchange reserves to order two million Type 88 Arthur rifles from the Arthur Arsenal at a price of 40 billion Cossack rubles (equivalent to 400 million Lanfang coins).
This money was secretly provided by the Cossack Empire. Of course, if the Cossack Empire blatantly distributed these guns, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Yaman Empire. Therefore, they renamed this gun the Danbo 3 rifle to replace the Danbo currently in service.
The troops were equipped with the Type 2 rifle in name.
Hearing this news, Fang Xiaoyu felt very distressed. Arthur Arsenal made at least half of the profits from these guns. How could Fang Xiaoyu, who had never suffered a loss, let go of such a good opportunity? He immediately wanted the early Type 91 rifles.
The design drawings were turned over and the arsenal was asked to manufacture it as a foreign trade version of the Type 91 rifle, and named it the Type 92 rifle.
This rifle is not much different from the Type 91 rifle. It just replaces the magazine with a bridge clip for loading. This design reduces the loading capacity of the rifle to five rounds, and the loading speed is slightly slower. Although this rifle is faster than the current one,
The Type 91 rifle is a little worse, but it is much better than the other two rifles.
Not to mention single-shot rifles like the Lebel rifle, even the Arthur rifle has the problem of easily exploding the chamber. Moreover, the Arthur rifle uses a magazine to feed ammunition, and cannot be reloaded until five rounds of bullets are fired.
The bridge clip design of the Type 92 rifle can be pulled out after the bullet is pressed into the magazine. In addition, this rifle can also directly press the bullet with a single shot without using any auxiliary tools. Its adaptability is much better than that of the Arthur rifle.
After receiving the news that Zhonghua Ling was selling new rifles, the two lords of Tubo County and Loulan County in the Lanfang Empire immediately approached Zhonghua Ling about purchasing weapons. One of these two lords was the third uncle of Fang Xiaoyu's wife, and the other
He is Fang Xiaoyu's future father-in-law, so the price is naturally cheaper.
This time Fang Xiaoyu used the same trick as last time. The external price of a Type 92 rifle was as high as 450 Lanfang coins, but the cost was only 80 Lanfang coins. This time it was sold to two territories for an apparent price of 400 Lanfang coins.
Fifty Lanfang coins apiece, but the preferential policy of buy one get four free was also implemented, so Fang Xiaoyu made almost no money except for travel expenses.
The arsenal of the Chinese Territory was very efficient. Although the two territories ordered as many as 700,000 rifles, the Chinese Territory delivered the goods within half a year.
Due to the advanced equipment and mature technology of China's arsenal, the Type 92 rifle immediately demonstrated its considerable strength after actual use.
In a small conflict between Loulan County and the Kokand Kingdom, the reliability and rapid shooting capabilities of the Type 92 rifle perfectly suppressed the Arthur Type 88 rifles that were rarely equipped by the Kokand Kingdom. This made the Type 92 rifle famous and attracted all countries.
Started to contact the Chinese leaders to purchase this rifle.
The two vassals of the Chinese Territory that were purchased first were the nominal allies, the Hanping Kingdom and the Saint Martin Empire. The Hanping Kingdom has developed rapidly with the help of the Chinese Territory in recent years, and naturally has the money to equip new weapons.
The St. Martin Empire is a highly gold-producing country, and with the recent investment and agricultural technical assistance from the Chinese leadership there, it is also rich in funds.
The sales situation of the Type 92 rifle is no worse than that of the Arthur Type 88 rifle. The first two vassal countries to purchase it purchased up to 1.1 million rifles, making arsenals in various countries covetous.
