1717 New American Empire

Before several representatives of the engineering group had finished speaking, representatives of the military group had already stood up to refute them. Xiao Lin couldn't help but start to think about whether it was still necessary to keep the Hall M1819 musket and front-loading rifled gun secret. If so.

With normal development, these weapons will officially appear in less than a hundred years. But what will happen? The white man will rule the roost, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will begin to end, China will weaken, and Africa, America, and Australia will be taken away.

Without external oppression of white people, the speed of natural industrial progress began to slow down. Look at how terrible the development of weapons has been in World War I and World War II. Enemies and wars are the best catalysts for technological evolution. That military representative

You are right. Even if the company strictly keeps the secrets of these firearms, white Europeans will develop them on their own under the company's high pressure for up to ten years. After experiencing the first industrial revolution, their industrial system is not as advanced as the company's.

, but the total number of factories is not comparable to that of the company.

Even for a long time, the company's industrial productivity was still not as good as that of the United Kingdom and France, and it could only rely on advancement to grab food. Rather than letting these white people conduct independent research and form their own scientific research system, it would be better for the company to sell it to

They will never become a major military power through imitation. Back then, China had been imitating Soviet weapons. In the end, it failed to accumulate strength and embark on the path of independent research and development, and finally achieved the status of a great power.

Besides, these weapons do not pose much of a threat to the company at all. The Hall M1819 breech-loading gun is considered an artifact compared to the current Brown Bess, but compared with the Type 56, it is not even suitable for carrying shoes. It is even commonly equipped with the company

Compared with the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle,

The power, range, rate of fire, and accuracy are all incomparable. And the front-mounted rifled gun is not even worthless to the company. The company has started the development of the 75mm caliber field gun for a month and a half. By the time this one

When you come out, you have to eliminate both heavy punches.

The company relies on the 21st century. Except for the Type 5 and 6, the weapons currently used are all from the early 20th century, and many were even developed in the late 19th century. China has extremely strict controls, but it cannot get its weapons technology.

, can’t you get it from other countries? The materialistic people in the 21st century

There are many people in the world who are greedy for money. Even if it cannot reach the level of 2019, the military technology of 2000 can always be obtained. With the technology of white people now, they can at most imitate Yanhuang Type 1 and revolvers, Type 56

To them, it is an alien artifact and cannot be studied at all.

"Moreover, the company now has too many Hall M1819 rifles and Heavy Punch series artillery in its hands. They are all good products that can be used in battles. If they have been piled there for a long time, what will happen if they get rusty?

They won’t be able to be sold at a good price. If they were to be rebuilt, it would be better not to produce them in the first place. Just take this opportunity to use them to exchange the company’s much-needed funds and materials from the British to speed up the company’s development.”

Xiao Lin thought about it for a while, and the military representative had already said a lot, and basically convinced everyone in the engineering team. Xiao Lin, Qu Jun, and Yu Xiao, the directors, exchanged glances and felt that they were very reasonable.

. Another show of hands voted, 25 people, 17 voted in favor, and the arms sales to the UK were confirmed. The next day, Collins received a notice that the company had prepared goods for them to sell to him.

List and physical reference, invite him to discuss the price.

Collins waited for three days and finally completed all his goals. During these three days, the company did not restrict their travel. However, the businessmen in Raccoon City received the news that a group of taken advantage of them came here. Therefore, these people

For a while, they were surrounded by all kinds of goods and services. They ate, drank and had fun every day. The funds provided by the colony were gone in one day, and all the money they spent later was their own private property. If it continued, Corinth and the others would not even have the money to pay for the return trip.

Collins was taken to the barracks in Raccoon City this time. Because there were weapons, it was more convenient to test at the barracks shooting range. Xiao Lin also sent a clerk to bring him in. This time it was a British man who came up to the pole to ask for help.

, no one in the company would agree unless he was brutally slaughtered. When Collins came in, he only saw Qu Jun, who was in charge of foreign trade, while Xiao Lin hid in the back and took care of the accumulated government affairs.

Collins knew that Qu Jun was a high-ranking official, and his status in the company was similar to that of his father, Earl Linman, in the colony, or even a little better, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him. When he saw Qu Jun, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully to the scholar.

The businessman took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit a match and handed it over. Qu Jun took it naturally, but did not let him light it.

"No, no, no, no, put out the fire quickly, take out the matches and put them outside. There is a lot of gunpowder in here. If it is accidentally ignited, we will all go to heaven."

The British envoys trembled when they heard this. Before Collins could react, his deputy snatched the match from his hand, stamped it out with his feet, and threw the matchbox out. Collins made a mistake and was embarrassed.

They were all guilty and smiled coquettishly. Qu Jun didn't pay attention, came over and hugged his shoulders and walked inside.

"Well, let's look at food first. This time we have prepared various canned meats, canned fruits, and bread that can be stored for half a year. Of course, there are also high-quality flour and rice, it depends on what you need."

"Oh, your company can even store bread for half a year. How did you do it?"

"Well, for this, we just added a new mixed spice. It's hard to say the specifics."

"I understand, I would like you to please explain it to me more."

What kind of mixed spices are you just adding preservatives to it? If you eat it, you won't die, but if you leave any hidden diseases in your body, it's none of the company's business. Of course, Qu Jun will definitely not tell Collins about this.

After several years of foreign trade, Qu Jun is also very experienced. Kande Collins was stunned.

They were stunned for a moment and completely ignored the strangeness of these foods. They opened a can of the canned food to taste it, but it was better than their own dark food, so that was fine. After talking about it, they directly invested half a million pounds.

Food orders are mainly canned instant noodles, preservative bread and other long-lasting foods.

There was no rush for firearms, so Qu Jun took them to have lunch to whet their appetites, and then took them to start experimenting with firearms at two o'clock in the afternoon. There were only three firearms for sale this time. Hall M1819 musket, heavy

Fist type 75mm front mounting line

rifled guns and the remaining 10,000 fuze grenades that need to be manually ignited. As for the revolvers, the batch of flintlock gun revolvers previously produced have been sold out and have not been produced since. The company also feels that there is no need to continue to use this crooked technology.

It's a waste of energy.

Collins had vaguely heard about the power of the Hall M1819 musket and heavy punch. It is said that the British militia was defeated by the Charles family and the trader tribe with these two weapons. Collins thought that the company could only buy some front equipment at most.

I just gave them the muskets, I didn't expect that

It turned out to be these two artifacts. Collins is also a person who is familiar with firearms, and he personally experienced the performance of the two weapons. The Hall M1819 can hit the target at a distance of 120 meters. Collins's sharpshooting ability is

It is a credit, but it also proves the excellent performance of the gun.

As for the heavy punch, it can hit anywhere within 700 meters, and it can guarantee a great hit rate within 1,000 meters. Coupled with the weight of the six-pound cannon and the power of the 12-pound cannon, Collins couldn't help but beam with joy. Although he immediately reacted and defended

, but Qu Jun also completely saw it

. He silently raised the previously set price by 30%. A Hall M1819 musket was sold by the company for 300 pounds, a heavy punch and a model, and the fortification was sold for 5,000 pounds. A rifle bullet was 0.5 pounds, and a cannon shell and

The matching gunpowder costs twenty pounds.

This price can no longer be described as black-hearted. The cost is only one-twentieth of the selling price, which is really black. Collins tried to negotiate the price and almost got mad, but he didn't let Qu Jun lower it by one point. It's just that

, Qu Jun promised that each rifle could be sent with ten rounds of bullets, and each cannon could be sent with three rounds of shells. Collins had no choice but to accept the price. Then, he directly auctioned two million pounds and ordered a batch of weapons.

.

These weapons were purchased to equip the private armies of the nobles. In the end, the British government had no reason to force them to hand them over. Therefore, what was strengthened was the nobles' own ID strength. Naturally, these nobles were willing to spend money. You know

, Charlie had spent less than one million on cultivating the "Lord's Sword" before. As soon as the procurement matters were discussed, half of the people in the envoy immediately returned, and the British rulers brought the property.

Collins took the other half of the people and temporarily set up an office in Raccoon City. If the company hadn't reached the level of a kingdom, it would have been an embassy. As soon as the news came out, the people in the company were extremely proud and even beamed with joy.

Xiao Lin didn't even notice this. As the company continued to export trade, people came up with the idea that the company's things were good things. By the way, the company became more civilized and advanced, and they, the people in the company,

They are also nobler and better than people from other forces.

This is compared to an African native and an American. The American must be extremely proud and crush him in all aspects. This is the arrogance of a big country and a reflection of the pride of the people of a big country. With this kind of arrogance, the company will be able to fight without mercy.

Fear. When the company is truly fully formed, even if the company goes to war with the entire Europe, the people under its control will not be upset and will still work hard to increase the company's strength.
