Hearing the question Daputo couldn't help but ask, Prince Derecia surprisingly did not refute it because he was also very concerned about this issue. Wu Qiong smiled and said, "This is a machine unique to our Chinese Empire, called an internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engine
The size is very small, and at the same volume, the horsepower is much larger than that of the steam engine."
Daputo blurted out: "Then wouldn't your country's warships use this kind of machine much faster?"
Wu Qiong smiled and said, "Mr. Daputo's mind is indeed very fast, but this kind of machine has high requirements for metal materials. With current technical conditions, it is impossible to make large internal combustion engines that can be used in warships."
Wu Qiong's words made Prince Drecia and Daputo both relieved. If the warships of the Chinese Empire were stronger, other countries would not have to live.
After reading the chariot, Prince Drecia and Daputo had already remembered this powerful weapon in their hearts and secretly decided to order a large number of such weapons.
Then Wu Qiong took Prince Drecia to see all kinds of light weapons and artillery of various caliber in the Chinese Empire, which made Prince Drecia highly appreciate it. He quickly decided to buy the Type 94 light machine gun and the 60mm combat.
In addition, he also had to buy a batch of 105mm howitzers, because the weapons of the Chinese Empire were generally more than 20% lighter in weight than the artillery used in active service in various countries in the Western Continent.
Since Wu Qiong explained the chariot, Daputo suspected that the Chinese Empire and the Yaman Empire had a good relationship and would definitely show them some secret weapons, so he followed them silly. This is the place of the Chinese Empire, and Prince Drecia also
It was not easy to have an attack, and he was just following him and Prince Drescia no longer cared about it.
The trucks, jeeps and motorcycles on display at the Expo were also shown here. Prince Derecia asked: "Mr. Wu, aren't these products displayed at the Expo? How are they exhibited here as military products?
?Are they the machines at the parade?”
Wu Qiong smiled and said, "Yes, these equipment are also being tested in our troops. His Royal Highness can imagine that if your troops can ride these vehicles and advance forward at a speed of fifty kilometers per hour, and
You can bring all the heavy artillery together, what kind of threat will this be to your enemies?"
Prince Drecia opened his mouth wide in surprise. Although he had already had it before, he didn't expect that the speed could reach so fast. If he could advance with all armed forces so quickly, he could not lead the troops and enter the Nantes Empire within a few days.
The capital Ladfense.
Thinking of this, Prince Drecia couldn't help but look at Daputo. Daputo also happened to look at Prince Drecia. The two of them had contacted each other and Daputo immediately understood the meaning of Prince Drecia's eyes.
He couldn't help but shudder at this idea, and then glared at Prince Drecia.
Wu Qiong said on the side: "What's more, these cars are military products, which are thicker in armor and stronger in horsepower than those cars at the World Expo. Later, one of our troops will have a wonderful military performance to practice the actual effects of weapons and equipment for guests from all over the world.
I hope Prince Derecia and Lord Daputo will participate together."
Weapon demonstrations are something that every member of the delegation attending the meeting will never miss, even the special envoys who have participated in the military parade are no exception. After all, the review and actual combat drills are very different.
The prescribed weapon demonstration time is coming soon. In the stands near the weapon test site, it is crowded early. Everyone holds a telescope and looks at the empty venue, hoping that the troops who are doing the demonstration will arrive soon.
Soon the weapon demonstration began, first of which was the same marching performance as the military parade. A series of trucks were filled with fully armed soldiers, and behind the chariots were pulled by large howitzers, and there were several jeeps leading the way.
There are motorcycle guards on both sides, and the machine guns placed on the motorcycles and jeeps are fired at the front from time to time, simulating the breakthrough of enemy levels. The entire formation looks very heroic.
The troops quickly arrived at the scheduled location. The soldiers quickly jumped out of the car. Some people began to guard the surroundings, while the others took off their artillery from behind the car and set up artillery positions.
More than a dozen howitzers were quickly placed. At the command of the commander, the howitzers fired in clusters made a huge roar, and a burst of smoke rose from the shooting range in the distance. Then the people hung up the artillery within a few minutes.
When they arrived behind the truck, the entire army quickly left.
"The speed is too fast." Many spectators were amazed in their hearts, but soon the greater shock came again. More than fifty tanks lined up in neat rows and rushed towards the venue, and they all stood in front of the stands.
They made a turn together, then increased their horsepower and drove to the edge of the shooting range. Fifty tanks lined up, artillery and machine guns flicked, and a cloud of smoke and dust were blown out of the shooting range.
The people watching suddenly felt the sun above their heads dim. Everyone looked up and found a huge object passing by the venue. Someone exclaimed: "Look, what kind of monster is that."
At this time, Wu Qiong said on the radio speaker: "Please be careful, this is the airship of our Chinese Empire. This time it is also used as a sales weapon, but because the airship is too large, it is not exhibited in the venue.
We made a small model, and I believe everyone should have seen it."
Prince Drecia looked at the airship in the sky and recalled it carefully. It seemed that there was such a model in the venue, but the model was too small and he didn't care at all.
The airship was not fast, but fortunately, they flew over the shooting range quickly and arrived at the predetermined position. The commander shook the signal flag on the airship. A small door was opened under the airship, and a series of bombs were serially bombed.
It swarmed out and soon caused a huge storm on the ground.
Seeing the bombs falling constantly, representatives from all countries were shocked. Such a large-scale explosion might certainly disappear from the infantry underneath, but only thirty airships caused all of this.
"How does Prince Derecia feel?" At some point, Toble came to Prince Derecia.
Prince Drecia recovered and said, "It turns out he is the Chief of Staff. The weapons of your Chinese Empire are so good. I want to buy some of them in everything. I just don't know how many of these weapons your army is equipped with." Drecia
Prince of West Asia pointed to the airship that was still raging above the shooting range.
Toble narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This is also our newly developed weapon. According to the emperor, it requires a large amount of equipment. No matter how you do it, you need three hundred to five hundred ships."
"So many." Not only Prince Derecia, but representatives of various countries on the side took a breath. The emperor of the Chinese Empire is now a legend in the world. It is said that he led a team to develop a large number of advanced technology and is also a money-making expert.
, It can be said that the entire Chinese Empire was created by him.
His ability to make weapons is surprisingly surprising. It is not only renovated but also very practical. Whether it is the Lanting Type 1 rifle or the Type 91 rifle, they are recognized as the best rifle in the world, and heavy machine guns were also the first ones he invented, light machine guns and
Mortars were the only weapon of the Chinese Empire before this sale.
The other countries are even more focused on the naval aspect. Fang Xiaoyu led two major changes in battleships and even the entire naval battle model, allowing all naval powers to follow the Chinese Empire's navy to imitate. Now he has created airships and chariots.
With such big killing weapons as trucks, it can be said that Fang Xiaoyu has completely subverted the war model in the minds of all military strategists on various continents within ten years.
Seeing Prince Drecia being a little stunned, Toble asked with a smile: "What is the prince thinking? Do you buy these equipment or not? If the Yaman Empire doesn't buy it, we will have no better weapons to sell.
.”
"Of course you have to buy it, and you have to buy more. These equipment is good enough." Prince Drecia answered quickly, as if he was snatched away by others after hesitation.
The weapons exhibition was very successful. What excited Fang Xiaoyu very much was that all kinds of weapons that he had expected to sell well until wartime were frantically snapped up by countries in the Western Mainland. Not only did the inventory start to be exhausted, but even the orders were lined up until the end of the year.
In addition to these weapons, Fang Xiaoyu fulfilled his promise and sold steam turbine technology to various countries at half the price of the Saar Empire.
Seeing this supply and demand situation, Fang Xiaoyu immediately ordered the Chinese consortium to take the opportunity to expand military production capacity. He wanted to take this opportunity to stimulate military production capacity as much as possible so as to make a big profit in the world war.
Stimulated by the Weapons Expo and Chinese ships, the arms race among countries has become increasingly fierce, and all countries have increased their military investment, not only to expand their arms and prepare for war, but also to drive the recovery of their own economy.
As Fang Xiaoyu expected, as military industry has driven the recovery of surrounding industries such as steel, the economies of various countries have begun to recover, and at this time, the military equipment of various countries has reached a terrifying level. If war is not launched, the maintenance of these equipment will be
It can make governments bankrupt.
In this case, the opportunity for war finally emerged. In March 902, the Cossack Emperor Alexander III decided to personally inspect the Baku area that was taken from the Stanya League ten years ago. The reason why Alexander III inspected this area
, because the world's largest oil field has just been discovered in the Baku region. (It is known that the two major oil fields of the Chinese Empire and the oil fields of the Kingdom of Mos have not been developed yet.)
As countries imported more and more equipment produced by the Chinese Empire using internal combustion engines, the strategic position of oil became higher and higher. Therefore, the discovery of this large oil field made Alexander III ecstatic and hurried to inspect it in person.
