As a result, they will procure advanced weapons sufficient to equip an army of 300,000 men, as well as more ammunition reserves.

In addition to replenishing losses during the war, it was necessary to gradually stock up on large quantities of weapons and ammunition for backup.

For this huge order, the Daheng Imperial Army naturally laughed at it, because the Daheng Army was reloading the Fuyuan Type 5 rifle on a large scale, and the previous large-scale storage of the strategic reserve Luo An Type 4 rifle was just enough to be shot.

The Orr Kingdom does not dislike second-hand goods, and second-hand goods can be used anyway, and the price is cheaper.

In the Orr War, they were very satisfied with the performance of the army equipment of the Daheng Empire, at least much more satisfied than the warships of the Daheng Empire.

Although the quality of the Luo'an IV rifles, artillery and machine guns produced by Daheng is somewhat poor, the price is cheap and easy to use, and the requirements for the use environment and soldiers are not high, which can meet various situations.

What's more, although they have money, due to the outbreak of the war, they have lost a lot of money, and they have to come up with a large amount of money to purchase cutting-edge warships, which is already starting to be tight, so they themselves are happy to take over the spot of the Daheng Empire.

In the end, the total amount of orders from the army and navy will reach 260 million Hengyuan.

But after the two sides roughly finalized the content of the contract, Crown Prince Hollibat suddenly found Lin Ziran: "I think the order of 260 million Hengyuan is enough to show our sincerity, now, can you let me see your secret naval guns?" ”

"Secret naval guns?" When Lin Ziran heard this, he asked rhetorically, "What top-secret naval gun?" ”

Crown Prince Holibat said: "My military attache in your country told me that the warships you have newly launched for service in the past year are equipped with a new type of naval gun!" ”

"Our two countries have traditional friendly and cooperative relations, especially in the past ten years, the cooperation between our Orr Kingdom and your country is so close, as your country's traditional friendly and cooperative countries, we hope to get this naval gun to improve the combat effectiveness of the navy in order to deal with foreign invasions and surround our country!"

Hearing Crown Prince Holibart's words, Lin Ziran was not surprised, in fact, the Orns were already slow to react when they came to the door now, it is estimated that they were dragged down by the domestic war some time ago, and they didn't pay much attention to the situation on Daheng's side.

In fact, many great powers already know that the navy of the Great Heng Empire is already equipped with a secret naval cannon.

It is not surprising that they know this, after all, these rapid-fire guns are all naval guns, and they all need to be installed on warships, and in the early days, only a few of them were built and put into service, and they could still be concealed, and even warships were not seen.

However, now two Jingzhou-class battleships have been put into service, one Fengyang-class armored cruiser has also been served, and more than a dozen second-class cruisers and destroyers have been put into service, and many of them have already begun to perform daily patrols, training and other tasks.

In this process, although the Daheng Imperial Navy kept it as secret as possible, the home ports of all the cutting-edge warships were all arranged in a few pure naval bases, rather than ports for military and civilian use.

However, when entering and leaving the port and conducting training in the open sea, it is inevitable that people will be observed, and some time ago, the navy of the Krull Kingdom even sent a fleet to stay in the sea off the Quping Naval Base, and as soon as the warships of the Daheng Navy went to sea for training, they followed them after sailing into the open sea, just to find out the secrets of the secret naval guns on the warship.

So now, in fact, basically many big countries already know that the Daheng Imperial Navy has commissioned a new type of medium-caliber naval gun, but the Daheng Imperial Navy usually covers this gun with a cannon's jacket to prevent people from seeing, they can only guess that this artillery has a situation, but the technical details are not known.

It is normal for the Orr Kingdom to come to the door now to inquire about the situation, and even ask for the purchase of rapid-fire guns.

But the problem is, Daheng is not ready to give!

If this is given to the Orr Kingdom, it won't be long before the whole world knows the secret of rapid-fire cannons, although the technology of rapid-fire cannons is very high, but it will definitely not be difficult for the three major industrial powers of the Krull Kingdom, the Walya Empire, and Kekel.

At that time, it won't take them a few years to imitate rapid-fire cannons, which will not be of any benefit to the Great Heng Empire.

However, what Crown Prince Holibat said was right, the relationship between the two countries was very good in the past, and the Orrs have sent hundreds of millions of orders to the Daheng Empire, and this time the orders are as high as more than 200 million.

If this is rejected directly, I am afraid it will affect this super large order!

In this world, it is not only the Daheng Empire that can provide a large amount of ordnance and equipment to the Orr Kingdom, they can turn around and go to the Valya Empire and the Kekel Empire.

But you can't say yes too!

The Reich must keep the rapid-fire cannon secret as long as possible, delaying the development of rapid-fire cannons in other countries, which is a matter of imperial strategic security.

A compromise must be found!

More than 200 million orders are required, but they must also be kept secret!

Lin Ziran did not reply to Crown Prince Holibat on the spot, but said that he didn't pay much attention to the detailed technical situation, and he needed to inquire before he knew.

But in fact, it is just to delay some time, and then come up with a proper solution after high-level discussions.

At the Imperial Council, the ministers almost all expressed their opposition, preferring to lose the Orr order rather than the rapid revelation of the rapid-fire cannon secrets, which would disrupt the steady expansion of the Empire's navy and further gain an advantage.

Compared with the overall interests of the Imperial Navy, an order of more than 200 million is nothing.

But what should be fought for is still to be fought for.

In the end, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Supreme High Command sent people to hold top-secret talks with the mission of the Kingdom of Orr.

During the negotiations, the Imperial side made it clear that there are no top-secret naval guns in the Empire, and the naval guns covered with cannon jackets are just for maintenance, as for whether you believe it or not, the Empire does not have ......

Both sides present knew that this attitude of the empire was nonsense, if it really didn't, why not hold such a top-secret meeting, and clearly refused the representatives of the Orr Kingdom Island to visit the new warship, which doesn't make it clear that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

However, the empire also said that the Orr Kingdom, as a traditional friendly and cooperative country of the Empire, attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with the Orr Kingdom, and promises to sell it to the Orr Kingdom when the technological breakthrough of the new naval gun matures.

"If the technology of the new naval cannon can be broken through, the Orr Kingdom will be the second country to be equipped with this new naval cannon in addition to the Imperial Navy, and the Empire can make a solemn commitment to this!"

Although the empire said vaguely, the Orrs also heard it, now don't count on it, no one in the empire sells it, and it doesn't even show it.

However, if the situation changes in the future and the Empire allows the export of this new naval gun, then the Orr Kingdom will be the first country to receive this new naval gun.

And more importantly, a lieutenant general from the Ministry of Defense Industry on the Imperial side said: "At the same time, according to the opinions of our colleagues in the Ministry of Ship Administration, we strongly recommend that the gun positions of the secondary guns in the new warships ordered by your country be changed to a certain extent, so that they can be replaced with newer naval guns at any time in the future!" ”

After that, he also mentioned: "We have never advised other countries on this point!" ”

Make design changes to the secondary gun positions of the battleship in advance, leave room for modification, and sell the rapid-fire guns to the Orrs as soon as possible after the export is allowed and directly upgrade and modify the existing battleship, this is the answer given after discussion within the Daheng Empire!

Although the Orr Kingdom has repeatedly expressed its hope that these new naval guns can be obtained now and directly installed in the newly purchased warships, the Imperial side will not let go of its mouth no matter what, and does not even admit that it has a physical object, but only says that it is under development.

Finally, a naval attaché from the Orr Kingdom said: "So, what is the performance of this new naval gun that your country is developing?" ”

The details can't be said for sure, and they can't even say that rapid-fire is faster, and the Imperial side just said vaguely: "Compared with the old naval guns, the new naval guns under development have been greatly improved in performance!" ”

What specific performance has improved, this is certainly not to say.

After talking about it for a long time, the Daheng Empire did not let go, but the Orr Kingdom also knew why the Daheng Empire did not let go, it was nothing more than to continue to keep it secret.

In the end, there was no choice but to accept the advice of the Daheng Empire, reserve space for modification of a large number of warships that were about to start construction in advance, and wait until the empire developed a new type of naval gun, and then directly reloaded.

After finalizing, at the final signing ceremony, Crown Prince Holibat said to Lin Ziran: "I hope that Your Majesty will consider the friendly and traditional cooperative relations between the two countries, and after your country's new naval artillery technology has made a breakthrough in the future, I hope that we will be the second country on the Blue Star to be equipped with this new type of naval artillery!" ”

In this regard, Lin Ziran also made a promise: "The Orr Kingdom will definitely be the second country on the Blue Star to belong to this new type of naval gun!" ”

After speaking, Lin Ziran also said one more sentence: "Not only the new naval guns, but also the many new technologies that the empire is developing, I hope that the Orr Kingdom will also be the second country to equip it!" ”

Crown Prince Holybart's eyes brightened when he heard this.

It seems that the good things in the Great Heng Empire are more than new naval guns, but he didn't ask too much, and it was useless to ask, anyway, the Great Heng people would not give a definite answer.

But Crown Prince Holybart is still very confident!

The Orr Kingdom has been very close in the arms trade cooperation with the Great Heng Empire over the years, and this closeness has been established by hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold.

Even for the sake of gold, he knew that the Great Heng Empire would not give up their Orr Kingdom easily.
