Of course, the most important field of military success must also increase efforts!
These military factories used to be the pillar industries of Hansi's country. Their arms were widely praised by buyers from all over the world. If these military factories could be restored to their peak, they could absorb at least 2 million laborers. The domestic unemployment wave has a decisive role!
So Mainz came to Mauser Arsenal, a famous domestic firearms design and production factory, to inspect!
"General, please save our factory, we are running out of steam!"
Paul Mauser, the head of the Mauser factory, started to complain with tears and runny noses after seeing Mainz.
During the post-war period, due to the large-scale layoffs of the German army, Hans' domestic The military factories were not having a good time. The restrictions of the Allied Powers and the reduction of German orders combined with multiple effects, causing the Mauser Factory, like other military factories, to suffer a sharp decline in business!
"I have ordered the Army to place an order for 200,000 firearms with Mauser Company, and you will be able to resume production soon!"
With the expansion of the German army and the vigorous development of Mainz's private army, the SS, the demand for light weapons has also begun to rise.
However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the Allied Powers, Mainz did not dare to go too far. A blatant purchase of 200,000 rifles at a time is already the maximum limit!
Any more will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Allied Powers!
In fact, even if he purchases 200,000 rifles, the Allied Arms Control Committee of the Allied Powers is still very confused.
Because the current total strength of the German army is only 200,000, purchasing 200,000 rifles at once is enough for them to update the weapons in the hands of all soldiers. However, according to them, the German army has been purchasing them successively since last year. There are three batches of small arms. They should have enough rifles in their hands. Even if they upgrade, they can't be so diligent? Doesn't it cost money to upgrade to new rifles?
Although they are confused, the Coalition Arms Control Committee does not.
In -depth investigation, because weapons such as rifles are not restricted by the Treaty of Versailles.
If the German army purchases heavy machine guns or heavy artillery instead of rifles, they will definitely not be able to sit still and will definitely launch an in-depth investigation!
The German army does not have much military expenditure.
If they are willing to waste military expenditure, then that is up to them.
Anyway, as long as they do not purchase weapons that exceed the specifications, then it will be fine.
As for how the German army wants to make trouble, that is not what the Allies should care about.
Sure enough
, after hearing what Mainz said, Paul Mauser's face immediately showed joy!
With the current production capacity of the Mauser factory, 200,000 rifles are enough for them to produce for at least eight months! For more than half a year, they no longer had to worry about lack of business!
However, his joy did not last long, because he knew very well that the number of German troops was only so small. They purchased 200,000 rifles this year. There may be no orders in this area next year or the year after that. How can Mauser survive without the German order?
Thinking of this, Paul's face became sad again.
"If Mauser Company wants to save itself, it cannot rely solely on the support of the military. The number of troops is too small to support you, so you need to sell the weapons you produce. Do you understand?"
Seeing the look on Paul's face, Mainz guessed what the other person was thinking. Regarding the other person's short-sighted behavior of just staring at a tree and hanging himself, Mainz hated Steel in his heart!
"General Mainz, can you give us some guidance?"
Paul Mauser is the younger son of Paul Mauser Sr., the founder of Mauser Company. His connections and prestige are obviously not comparable to Paul Mauser Sr., coupled with the destruction of World War I, many of Mauser Company's international customers They have all changed their ways. Multiple factors have brought Mauser Company into such an embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, Paul Mauser still has some discernment and knows that he has insufficient connections to solve the problem, so he simply goes to the United States. Inz help!
"At present, wars are breaking out in many places in the world, such as the woolly bears in Eastern Europe, the Balkan Peninsula in southern Europe, the native chickens in West Asia, and the Chinese Empire. During the war, two kinds of supplies are the most important. One is weapons and ammunition, and the other is food. One is life-saving and the other is fatal. Your weapons can be exported to these places!"
Now that Mainz is here, he naturally doesn't want to sit idly by. In fact, Mauser Company is very important to the German army. He can't just sit back and watch it collapse!
After all, the millions of small arms of the Third Reich's army For the supply, we have to rely on Mauser Company to provide it!
"We all know the places you mentioned, but we lack the channels to sell them!"
Paul Mauser scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
Not only are they eyeing these hot spots, but also the international arms companies. They want to seize this market from the hands of these international arms companies. Grab it, it's not that difficult!
"You don't have to worry about the Mao Xiong side, I will help you contact them.
The Tuji side recently asked us to send an officer corps to help them train and transform their army.
At that time, I will sell weapons to them.
The negotiations should be able to help you win a batch of orders.
As for China, the war in this place will continue for at least thirty years.
This is a big country with a population of 400 million, and it is a big and chaotic country, so China will become our future.
largest customer!
"
Although he is very sad about the chaos in China, Mainz really does not have the energy or ability to stop the internal fighting in China. This is not a problem that he can solve at all. What he can help is probably to give it to one of them. Provide more weapons to one side, allowing them to gain a decisive advantage in the civil war as soon as possible, and then end the civil war as soon as possible! Hearing what Mainz said, the eyes of everyone in Mauser Company lit up!
As Mainz said, if China in the Far East is such a huge market, then as long as they win here, they will no longer have to worry about orders in the future!
"However, we have no connections at all in China, and the concession on the Jiaodong Peninsula was taken away by the Footpot people. We have no sales channels!"
A senior executive of Mauser Company said worriedly. His worries were also the common worries of everyone at Mauser Company!
After World War I, Hans's international influence declined greatly. It was naturally impossible for them to reach out when they were unable to protect themselves. Go to the Far East to support the warlords in the Far East, but the Sun Never Sets, Eagle Sauce, and even the Foot Basin countries are not affected at all, so they all have their own warlords to support, and they can sell their own arms by supporting these warlords! Without this condition, how can they compete with their enemies?
"Who says we don't have it?"
Mainz smiled and said nothing. In fact, he had already made plans in China, and Zhang Zuolin, the warlord of the Feng clan, was his pawn!
"You can prepare now. While producing rifles for the National Defense Force, you can also prepare additional orders for foreign orders. By the way, don't just focus on producing Type 98 rifles, but also produce some Type 88 rifles, and even some parts. Be prepared!"
Mainz's words made everyone at Mauser confused. The Mauser 1898 rifle is the current standard rifle of the German army. They can understand the production of this latest weapon, but the Mauser 1888 rifle is already in the market. It has been eliminated in the military, but it is still produced at this time. What does this mean?
"China once introduced the design drawings of our Mauser 1888 rifles during the Qing government and made a batch of imitated rifles on its own.
The bullet caliber used in this rifle was 7.
92 mm.
In China, it was called Hanyang-made rifles, and around the world At present, only a few countries such as us and China adopt this specification.
Therefore, if China wants to buy weapons that are common to the firearms and ammunition in its hands, it can only purchase them from us.
Do you think that with this prerequisite, we Does it have an advantage in competition with other countries?"(PS: Let me state in advance that selling weapons blueprints and technology is not a favor to the Celestial Empire.
It will be explained later.
