“500,000 Mauser rifles and 50 million bullets!”

“50 150mm heavy howitzers and 50,000 artillery shells!”

“Renault TF-17 light vehicle defeated 200 vehicles!”
“100 trucks produced in Gaul!”
“200 Newport Type 529 fighters!”
“100 Gaul F220 bombers!”
……
Seeing this long list of numbers, the generals of the Celestial Empire were all overjoyed!
“Hans is so generous! These weapons and equipment are enough for us to expand our army by another one million!”
“Haha, more than that, so many equipments can not only allow us to expand our army, but also allow them to replace the contemporary first-class European equipments. Many equipments are even more advanced than those of the Foot Basin, and we can also get tanks, airplanes and other key weapons. With these equipments, we can compete with the Foot Basin people head-on in the future!”
No wonder they are so excited, it is really that the batch of arms aid provided by Hans is so rich!
Although in the list of aid materials, except for the Mauser rifles that have been gradually eliminated by Hans, other weapons are almost all captured from Gaul.
These weapons are not of much value to Hans himself, so whether they are sold to European vassal states or used to support the Celestial Empire in the Far East, Hans does not care much.
After all, these weapons are captured, and they do not need to spend money by themselves.
If they keep them, they will not be able to use them themselves.
Taking them out to support the Celestial Empire can earn a favor, and by the way, it can also help the Celestial Empire fight against foreign enemies.
This is also very useful for Hans’ own strategy.
Help.
So in Mainz’s view, this deal is not a loss at all.
But the Chinese don’t know this.
After seeing these weapons that represent the first-class level of Europe at that time, they were all amazed.
They had never seen such advanced equipment, and they had never imagined that they would be equipped with such equipment one day!
After all, the weapons sold to China by European countries are almost all old and backward equipment that they have eliminated.
Except for some advanced weapons that Hans sold to the Northeast Army before, other countries would not sell such equipment to China.
And this time, Hans brought so many advanced weapons and equipment at one time, which opened the eyes of all the generals of China!
“Hans is so generous, only they are willing to sell these weapons to us!”
Chen Cheng said with emotion, Principal Jiang:”You are right, Hans is so generous, which proves that this country can be trusted and relied on. No matter what their purpose is, now we can’t do without their support!” Principal
Jiang has been convinced by Hans’s generosity. Although he really wants to cooperate with countries like the British Empire and the Eagle Sauce, the two countries are having a good time at this time. The British Empire was almost destroyed by the battle, and it is impossible for them to support them.
Moreover, the British Empire and the Foot Basin are still allies, and they can’t betray their allies and provide assistance to the Celestial Empire.
As for the Eagle Sauce, their relationship with the Foot Basin is not very good.
It is possible to help the Celestial Empire, but the location of the Eagle Sauce is too far away.
They have no land transportation links with the Celestial Empire and can only transport supplies from the sea.
At this time, the ports on the Celestial Empire’s coastline have been completely blocked by the Foot Basin’s joint fleet, so the sea route is not enough.
If they want to provide assistance, the Celestial Empire will definitely not get it!
Therefore, although the Eagle Sauce is rich and very powerful, they cannot be counted on!
At this time, the only country that is powerful and can support them from land is Hans!
And it just so happens that Hans’ military strength is one of the best in the world. The weapons and equipment obtained from Hans must be much better than the scrap copper and rotten iron obtained from other places!
What is more commendable is that Hans’ attitude towards them is very friendly, and he very generously provided them with these advanced weapons. In this way, Principal Jiang was completely convinced of Hans in his heart, and he no longer had any other thoughts, and he wholeheartedly followed Hans, the big brother!
“President, this is not over yet, there are still a lot of mechanical equipment behind!”
Seeing Principal Jiang’s happy look, Chen Bulei, who served as Principal Jiang’s secretary, immediately said
“Ah? There are also mechanical equipment? Is it true or not?”
This news surprised Principal Jiang even more!
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
Although the great powers are willing to sell some weapons to China, no one has ever been willing to sell their advanced mechanical equipment for producing weapons to China. The reason is very simple!
If these equipment are sold to China, China will sooner or later learn to make weapons by itself. Once the weapons produced by China itself are sufficient to meet its own use, then the weapons in their hands will not be sold, which is not good news for their arms business.
Therefore, the great powers are very consistent on this point. Selling weapons is okay, but selling mechanical equipment for producing weapons is not okay!
And Hans provided these equipment at this time, which is a great favor!
Principal Jiang felt unbelievable and extremely excited at the same time.
He has always wanted to set up his own military factory, and it would be best if he could produce weapons and equipment self-sufficiently!
At the moment The weapons and ammunition of the Celestial Empire Army are almost all imported, which leads to them not daring to spend lavishly in battle, not daring to use more bullets, not daring to fire more shells, and saving everything!
In war, if you want to save weapons and ammunition, you have to pay the price of life!
How many soldiers died because of insufficient weapons and ammunition. Sometimes, a fresh life is not even as valuable as a gun or a cannon!
If they can produce weapons and meet their own needs, there is no need to be so frugal. They can also open up like the Japanese army, and use artillery to bombard before the war to blow down the enemy’s morale first!
In their view, although the Japanese army is powerful, the other side is mainly powerful in that their weapons and equipment are better than theirs. If the influence of weapons and equipment is deducted, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides may not be that big!
Therefore, Hans’s batch of supplies is extremely important to them!
“200 sets of milling machines!”
“200 sets of punching machines!”
“200 sets of lathes!”
“200 sets of machine tools!”
“200 sets of grinding machines!”
Seeing these machines and hearing these numbers, the scene was silent!
Even Principal Jiang himself couldn’t believe his eyes! Isn’t
Hans too generous?
These equipments are enough for them to build two large arsenals!
