The Great Heng Empire is a country that keeps its promises, and the Orr Kingdom has actually been paying attention to the changes in these new technologies, not to develop them themselves, but to ensure that they have priority access to the power of the Great Heng's advanced rapid-fire guns and hardened armor.

In fact, in the first half of the year, it was reported that after the Krull Kingdom and the Keel Empire successfully developed rapid-fire guns, the Orr Kingdom has been urging the Daheng Empire to release the export of rapid-fire guns, and they don't want to lag behind.

Later, after the technology of hardened armor was also mastered by the three traditional powers, they couldn't sit still, the envoy of the Orr Kingdom to the empire, it was three days to find the magnates of Daheng, in order to let the Daheng Empire let go of the export of these two key new technologies.

In the second half of the year, when the Keel Empire and the Valia Empire exchanged technology and began to sell to the world, the Daheng Empire finally couldn't sit still, and directly took out rapid-fire guns and hardened armor exports, trying to lead and seize the market again!

This move made many countries that had purchased warships from Daheng before very excited, and the four countries or alliances of the Orr Kingdom, the Four Kingdoms of the East Coast, the Mongol Khanate, and the Louhe Kingdom were the countries that purchased a large number of warships from the Daheng Empire, and now they are naturally looking for Daheng people to upgrade the technology of their warships, mainly to upgrade rapid-fire guns.

As for the new battleship, it is ready to replace the old armor with hardened armor, and in this regard, it has to be said that the Orns are very shrewd.

In the ninth year of Qiansheng, they signed a super-large warship order contract with the Daheng Empire, but almost all the medium and large warships in this contract adopted a multi-batch model.

The battleships were built two plus two, that is, two were built first, and two were built after the two were delivered.

Armored cruisers and other ordinary cruisers and even torpedo boats are about the same.

Now that more than two years have passed, although the two battleships they ordered before are already being outfitted, this armor naturally cannot be replaced, except for the temporary upgrade and replacement of rapid-fire secondary guns.

But the two battleships that are expected to start construction are expected to be newly started, but they are required to use a combination of hardened armored accelerated firing guns, as for adding more money, they will add more money, they Orns lack everything, they are not short of money!

And on the side of the Great Heng Empire, since the rapid-fire cannon and hardened armor have been mastered by the major powers, there is no point in secrecy, so it is natural to take advantage of the first-mover advantage to make a fortune!

After the export restrictions were relaxed, all models of mature rapid-fire guns and hardened armor of different levels were quickly put on the shelves, and a mark came: available in stock!

The implication is that if you go to other countries to purchase rapid-fire guns, I am afraid that you will have to wait for one or two or two or three years, but if you ask our Daheng people to purchase them, it is directly from stock, which means that they can be equipped several years in advance.

If the navy of country A asks the Daheng Empire to order rapid-fire guns, it will be delivered on the spot, and it will be able to directly form combat effectiveness by taking a little time to modify it. If the navy of country B asks Keel or the Valia Empire to order rapid-fire guns, it is estimated that they will not be able to deliver the goods after a year.

This means that there is a time lag of one year, and if country A and country B are hostile countries, during this time difference, the navy of country A can use the fleet equipped with a large number of rapid-fire guns to bully the navy of country B!

Everyone is not stupid, we all know that this time difference means a huge crisis!

Therefore, in addition to some countries that do not have any obvious crises and are not in a hurry, those countries that have maritime contradictions with the neighboring countries, such as the four countries on the east coast, when they saw that the Orr Kingdom was looking for the Great Heng people to upgrade and replace the rapid-fire guns, they naturally couldn't sit still, and they also ran to the Great Heng people to order rapid-fire guns.

For example, the Mongol Khanate first found the Great Heng people to order rapid-fire guns, and the Louhe Kingdom couldn't sit still even if it was a few other territories, and it also found the Great Heng people to order rapid-fire guns, and even the Orlan Kingdom, one of the big countries, felt a certain amount of pressure.

However, as a big country, they still have the background of being a big country, in addition to buying a batch of finished products for emergencies, they also found the technology for Daheng people to buy rapid-fire guns and hardened armor.

However, the finished product can be bought for money, but technology is not about money, so they are actually trading some of their own unique leading technology.

For this kind of exchange, the Great Heng Empire naturally welcomes it as well.

Anyway, this technology is not an exclusive technology, and the three traditional powers now have both technologies.

It's also good to be able to change some of the technology you need now, so as soon as the two sides discussed, they exchanged technology.

Under this big wave, the arms export trade of the Great Heng Empire has once again set off a new peak!

A large number of countries came to the door with money to buy rapid-fire guns, and at the same time, they also tried to order new warships from the Great Heng Empire, especially those equipped with hardened armor.

In this regard, the Great Heng Empire is not stingy!

Directly took out the original foreign trade goods, and later improved their own use of the Crane-class armored cruiser, this thing can be greatly improved in combat effectiveness after being replaced with hardened armor and rapid-fire guns, which is very suitable for the navies of small and medium-sized countries.

And for countries with ambition and strength, the Daheng Imperial Navy has more foreign trade plans!

Directly based on the Jingzhou-class battleship for the design of foreign trade warships, this new battleship is absolutely tall, representing the level of contemporary mainstream warships, and the cutting-edge warships of the Krull Kingdom Navy next door are similar to the high-freeboard fort design.

Switch to hardened armor and rapid-fire guns, the combat effectiveness is just right!

If you are not satisfied, you ask for it, or come up with a design, we will make it, in short, we will make you what you want.

What else can other countries need, even if it is the navy of the Orr Kingdom, they only have a lot of money, and they don't dare to decide to take risks in terms of technology, especially in the development of warships, they all take the pace of keeping up with the naval power, at most, they are just making appropriate adjustments to make them more suitable for their own use.

For example, some countries will still adopt the low-freeboard and turret design of offshore battleships, because they will only fight in close coastal defense, or the main combat area is in some calm bays and other sea areas.

The navies of some countries require long-range ocean-going warships.

In short, the needs of the navies of various countries are different, and the warship designers of the Great Heng Empire will design according to their own needs.

But in general, their designs are generally not overly radical or risky.

For example, the mixed main gun scheme, this thing has actually been informed by the outside world, but the battleship of this mixed main gun battleship scheme has not yet been officially put into service in the world, whether it is the Great Heng people or the Krull Kingdom, they are still on the slipway, and as for the Kyle Empire and other powers, it is only on the drawings that have not yet started.

This new battleship sounds good, but the devil knows if it will work.

And the key thing is that the Daheng Empire only sells medium-caliber rapid-fire guns, but it does not plan to sell 200 mm and 250 mm large-caliber rapid-fire guns, let alone export integrated turrets and armor-piercing shells and some seemingly inconspicuous, but extremely important things.

The naval artillery technology or armor technology exported by the Daheng Empire is basically the same as the level of other countries, neither high nor low, and the hardened armor is not exported Luo Jing armor, but the early Luo Hai armor.

Because the other three great powers only made the Luohai armor, the Jingzhou armor and the more advanced Luojing armor are still top secret.

When they didn't plan to export these top-notch technologies, the mixed main gun battleships they came out would be almost meaningless, and the effectiveness of their second-class main guns was too low, so it was better to simply use a large number of 150-mm single-mounted guns.

After all, the Daheng Empire was not stingy with the 150-mm single-mounted artillery, and directly put 40 times and 45 times and a number of sub-models on the shelves, and the most advanced 10-year 150 mm and 45 times caliber rapid-fire guns were all directly exported, of course, the price was twice as expensive as the old model.

In the absence of large-caliber rapid-fire guns, the mixed main gun scheme is actually very unreliable, and it is not as good as the Jingzhou-class battleships with four large-caliber main guns and a large number of 150-mm rapid-fire guns.

In the second half of the 11th year of the reign of Qiansheng, rapid-fire guns and hardened armor became the most popular words in the military circles of the Blue Star countries.

This is also to make the rapid fire guns and hardened armor of the Daheng Empire in short supply, the original self-built battleships left, abandoned by the navy some old rapid-fire guns and Luo Hai armor, originally intended to be wasted and replaced on some old warships, but now it is not enough to sell them all at once, and the factory even has to expand production.

When the Daheng Empire opened the export of rapid-fire guns and hardened armor, the hardened armor was fine, and generally the Daheng Empire was bought with warships, but there was no statement that hardened armor was sold separately, but rapid-fire guns would be sold separately.

As a result, in less than a few months, many countries have already acquired rapid-fire guns.

The navy of the Orr Kingdom also became the third navy in the world to dominate rapid-fire guns, after the navy of the Great Heng Empire and the navy of the Krull Kingdom.

However, the first time rapid-fire guns were applied to actual combat were not the Daheng Empire, nor the Krull Kingdom, nor the Orr Kingdom, but the Mongol Khanate and Louhe Kingdoms.

In December of the 11th year of the reign of Qiansheng, armed conflict broke out again between the Mongol Khanate and the Louhe and Nagaran kingdoms in the eastern part of the Western Continent, and a medium-sized naval battle broke out between the two sides because of a dispute over the sovereignty of an island on the coast.

At that time, there were not many warships on both sides participating in the war, but the capital ships were dispatched, and it is worth noting that at that time, there were a number of warships in the fleets of both sides that were urgently equipped with rapid-fire guns ordered from the Daheng Empire.

This medium-sized engagement between the navies of the two warring sides was watched by several naval powers who closely followed the changes in the situation in this region!

The course of the battle and the results shocked the navies of various countries!

The navies of various countries were shocked no less than the Battle of Ian in previous years!
