In June of the sixteenth year of Qiansheng, an old friend of the Great Heng Empire, Hollibat, the crown prince of the Orr Kingdom, visited the Great Heng Empire again.

This visit to the Daheng Empire was of great significance to the Orr Kingdom.

On the surface, Crown Prince Holibat will discuss a series of commercial and trade cooperation with the Daheng Empire, including further in-depth cooperation in the development of oil, as well as strategic cooperation in food.

But what is more important is cooperation in the military field.

Recently, the Orissa Empire has taken the initiative to improve its armaments, and the four countries on the east coast in the south have also felt threatened, so they have also carried out corresponding armament construction, which is fed back to the Orr Kingdom, which is naturally a lot more pressured, after all, the Orish Kingdom and the Orissa Empire and the East China Sea are directly bordered.

Not to mention the colony of the Krull Kingdom to the south.

And all three countries are eyeing the Orr Kingdom.

Therefore, the Orr Kingdom is very sensitive to the improvement of the military strength of the surrounding countries, and as soon as they see the territory expanding their armaments, they will follow up regardless of whether it is aimed at themselves or not.

Otherwise, it will be too late for someone else to call.

If this Orr Kingdom wants to build national defense, it naturally needs to find the Great Heng Empire.

The Orr Kingdom and the Great Heng Empire have been cooperating in the military field for more than a decade, and both sides have benefited greatly from it.

The Daheng Empire has received a large amount of funds, while the Orr Kingdom has obtained a navy that can enter the top eight in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, and has also obtained two arsenals built by Daheng to produce some low-tech army and naval weapons and equipment.

This time, the crown prince of the Orr Kingdom came over, hoping to further strengthen the cooperation between the two sides, in order to deal with the increasing strength of the Olisa Empire, the four countries on the east coast, and the colonies of the Krull Kingdom in the south.

The geographical environment in which the Orr Kingdom is located is actually not very good, and the three countries bordering on the land around it are all enemies with them, or they are peeking at their gold and oil.

On the other side of the strait, the kingdom of Liej is not very good in itself, but the situation there is more complicated, and the major powers are constantly fighting there, and this situation is even more so after the discovery of oil fields in the Republic of Kean.

The situation in the Republic of Kean and the kingdom of Liedi is now very volatile, with warlord tribes supported by the major powers fighting for the life and death of the great Kenn oil fields.

There are three major opponents on land, and the situation is still chaotic on the other side of the strait, which has always made the Orr Kingdom feel a huge pressure, otherwise the Orr Kingdom would not have become the only country in the world where all the people are soldiers in the Blue Star.

In order to protect itself, the Orr Kingdom hugged the thigh of the Great Heng Empire very early.

And the Great Heng Empire did not treat them badly, and there was still a lot of practical support given to them.

Without the support of the Great Heng Empire, their Orr Kingdom was directly destroyed by the Krull Kingdom a few years ago.

In order to maintain a good relationship with the Great Heng Empire, the high-level leaders of the Orr Kingdom are running to the Daheng Empire twice in three days, even if it is the current actual ruler of the Orr Kingdom, Crown Prince Holibart.

The current king of the Orr Kingdom is already very old, and the power transfer has been carried out since many years, and in the fourteenth year of the Qiansheng, the king of the Orr Kingdom was completely unable to deal with affairs after he was seriously ill, so the crown prince of Holibat has officially taken charge of the country as the crown prince.

But even so, Hollibart will often run to the Daheng Empire when he needs to, anyway, when he takes a high-speed passenger ferry in these years, it is still more convenient to travel back and forth between the Orr Kingdom and the Daheng Empire.

After arriving in the Great Heng Empire, the Orr Kingdom proposed a new round of various arms procurement plans, and hoped that the Great Heng Empire would assist them in expanding their two arsenals.

In this regard, the Daheng Empire also directly undertook it.

The relationship between the Orr Kingdom and the Great Heng Empire is getting closer and closer, but the Daheng Empire has a Lane military base in the Orr Kingdom, which is the bridgehead for the Great Heng Empire to intervene in the Southern Continent and even the Southwest Continent.

At the same time, the Orr Kingdom will send military students to study in Daheng every year, and it is not polite to say that the army and navy of the Orr Kingdom have now become a copy of the Daheng Empire's army and navy.

In terms of military procurement, the Orr Kingdom once again finalized a series of super-armored torpedo boats ordered earlier, and at the same time ordered a batch of artillery.

Although the Orr Kingdom has not been idle over the years, it has used the technical assistance of the Great Heng Empire to slowly produce a batch of artillery according to the technical authorization, but the production capacity is very limited, and the technology is not good, and it can only imitate and produce some small and medium-caliber old artillery.

As for all kinds of advanced artillery are large-caliber artillery, don't count on this, these are too demanding for the industrial system, and it is not at all possible that an Orr kingdom can succeed.

In addition to artillery, a batch of machine guns, Fuyuan-5 rifles and other conventional weapons were also purchased.

Whether it is artillery, machine guns, or rifles, these are ordinary weapons, and the Orr Kingdom basically purchases a batch every few years.

The reason why the Orr Kingdom procures so many weapons and equipment every year, and is still producing some weapons and equipment itself, is because they are under too much pressure.

The size of the army they maintain is still not small, and there are still more than 300,000 standing army units of their own country and the two fraternal countries combined.

And the strategic depth of the Orr Kingdom is very small, and several enemies are very powerful, once a large-scale war breaks out, if you don't block the enemy at the first time, you may not even have time to mobilize.

Therefore, the army units of the Orr Kingdom have actually maintained a perennial state of combat readiness, and at the same time, because the strength is small, and the Orr Kingdom is not defective, so the weapons and equipment used are required to be the most advanced in contemporary times.

Therefore, the active troops use newly purchased weapons and equipment, and the replacement is basically good, relatively new weapons and equipment, and these will be sealed for mobilization and consumption during the war.

In the last Croatian-Austrian war, because the war lasted for a long time and the intensity of the war was very large, the strategic reserves of the Orr Kingdom were all wiped out, so that there was a lack of ammunition and advanced weapons in the later stages of the war.

Therefore, in recent years, the Orr Kingdom has learned its lesson and began to stock up on more advanced weapons and ammunition.

According to their plan, they were to stockpile and mothball enough weapons and ammunition for a million troops to fight for at least two years.

And the amount of money required to hoard so many weapons and ammunition, and to keep them from falling too far behind, is not a small amount.
