"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yarkov Moloto, and I am currently the Director of the External Liaison Office of Mao Xiong!"
Yarkov took the initiative to reach out his hand and greeted Mainz in a friendly manner.
It was difficult to feel his hatred for Mainz in his body, as if what happened back then didn't exist.
Reach out. If you don't hit the smiling person, since the other person has forgotten the past, then Colonel Mainz doesn't have to expose the other person's scars!
"Hello!"
Mainz also reached out. People who were once in two hostile camps on the battlefield are now like old friends who have not seen each other for many years, chatting with each other about some interesting topics.
"What do you plan to buy this time?"
Like the Allies, as a participant in World War I, the Second Reich also produced a large amount of weapons and equipment, and these weapons naturally had to be disposed of after the war.
Historically, because after the defeat of the Second Reich, the army was almost It was immediately disbanded, so these weapons were immediately snatched away by the Allies, leaving little for Hans himself.
In this era, due to the butterfly effect brought about by the emergence of Mainz, the German army lasted longer. During this period, Mainz had enough time to seize the opportunity to hide and sell these weapons.
After the end of World War I, there might be ten or twenty years of peace in Europe, and the number of German troops would decrease significantly after the disarmament. Keeping so many weapons would be of no use to the German army and would only be given to the Allied arms dealers at a cheap price.
So Mainz simply took matters into his own hands and sold these weapons!
And his trading partners were mainly in the middle of the war in the east. The furry bear has an extremely urgent need for arms.
"What do you have?"
As soon as he heard that the other party started talking about business, Yarkov's attitude immediately became serious.
"Except for aircraft, artillery, machine guns, rifles, and bullets that cannot be sold to large warships, we have whatever else you want!"
This is really not a boast. When the First World War broke out, the Second Empire was the second most powerful country in the world in terms of industrial strength. The industrial strength of the Second Empire exceeded that of Britain and France combined. This is why they were able to face The attacks of Britain, France and Russia were the main reason why Tsarist Russia was still inextricable from fighting Britain and France on the Western Front.
Such strong industrial strength created the huge war potential of the Second Empire. Hundreds of these war machines were produced for the empire. There are tens of thousands of weapons of all kinds. Just the weapons and equipment that Major Mainz saw with his own eyes were piled up like mountains.
When he went to Munich for inspection, he saw more than 1,200 in the valley south of Munich. Scraped aircraft. These aircraft were once German fighter jets. After the war, the Allied forces sent people to destroy them. A large number of aircraft were towed to the valley, their wings were sawed off, and the electronic instruments in the cockpit were destroyed. Abandoned there like that.
People who have never witnessed that kind of scene may have a hard time feeling the shock of seeing that kind of scene.
Standing on the peak next to the canyon, you can see an abandoned mountain that stretches for six or seven kilometers. A huge cemetery composed of airplanes. These airplanes should have soared in the skies of the empire and shouldered the important task of protecting the country. They were sentenced to death as soon as they were born. Most of the airplanes did not even go to the battlefield and were directly killed. Dismembered!
The Europeans are very smart, although they know that they can make a lot of money if they sell these aircraft. After all, the air force in this era is a new branch of arms. Except for the old powers, not many countries have such a thing. So there must be a market for this thing internationally.
However, European countries are unwilling to sell this kind of weapon that represents the most advanced technology. They would rather sell traditional weapons like machine guns and cannons to backward regions and countries.
, this situation began to change after the economic crisis that swept the world in 1929. At that time, in order to earn foreign exchange, all countries relaxed their controls on arms exports, so a large amount of weapons and equipment began to be sold to foreign countries. Even backward countries like China Agricultural countries have all formed their own air forces.
Yarkov pondered for a while. To be honest, if he could, he would really like to buy a large German surface warship!
Although the High Seas Fleet was not too bright in the First World War!
However, the High Seas Fleet was recognized as the second fleet in the world at this time, second only to the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
Even the navy of Eagle Sauce could not compare with them because the High Seas Fleet did not break out too fiercely.
battle, so most of the main battleships are still very well preserved.
If we can get such a well-maintained fleet with advanced equipment and performance, it can greatly improve the situation faced by the red bear.
Soon, the strength of the navy and air force in their hands was extremely weak.
During the Tsarist Russian period, due to the Russo-Japanese War, the Pacific Fleet and the Baltic Fleet were almost completely destroyed.
This dealt a heavy blow to the Tsarist Russian Navy, so much so that by World War I They were not able to recover during this period, and because their family background was not strong, and because most of the fleet officers were nobles, after the October Revolution, Mao Xiong received very few surface warships, and their naval power was almost negligible.
Excluding.
If this was a peaceful time, the weak navy would not be a particularly serious problem. They could develop slowly and supplement it bit by bit.
However, in wartime, the consequence of weak naval power is that Mao Xiong has a long coastline, but does not have enough naval power to protect its coastline. As a result, these coastlines and nearby cities have become springboards for enemies to attack their homeland. Especially the Baltic Seaside city of Petrograd, which is almost always facing the danger of attacks from the sea by Britain, the United States and other countries, and even the White Army!
In this case, if they can have a powerful fleet like the High Seas Fleet of the Third Reich, then they can easily control the entire Baltic Sea and drive enemy warships out of the Baltic Sea. In the future, not only can they completely resolve the crisis in Petrograd, but they can also change from passive to active and launch an attack on the enemy's base camp from the sea.
Of course, fantasy is good, but we still have to come back to reality. Not to mention that Mao Xiong cannot afford the High Seas Fleet. Even if they can afford it, they will not be able to drive the High Seas Fleet back to their homeland. On the way, they were sunk by the Allied fleet.
So, be realistic and buy some other weapons!
"Krupp cannons, Mauser rifles, Maxim heavy machine guns and bullets, as many as you want!"
