Chapter 1090: Arms Purchase

"Please also ask Mr. Minister for advice!"

Martinas asked urgently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's very simple, we have launched military cooperation, now our empire's army military academy has already been completed, many high-ranking generals teach in it, and there are even Western instructors, if you want, I can promise you on behalf of the Chinese Empire to train dozens of officers for you, once they return from their studies, it should be of a lot of help to your country's military strength......"

The three of them were shocked, the Chinese Empire was willing to accept military students from the Transvaal Republic! Great, what country in the world doesn't know the strength of the Chinese Empire's army now? That's definitely one of the best! Once trained by the Chinese People's Army, the military armament of the Nabul people will undoubtedly reach a new level!

"Thank you, thank you so much! Mr. Minister! ”

Krugel exclaimed with excitement on his face.

Jiang Shenghua smiled and said: "Just by virtue of this, it is still not enough, after all, it will take three years for these military students to graduate, three years, three years, too long, I will ask Your Majesty to send a military instructor corps to your country to the Transvaal, if Your Majesty agrees, then there will be at least one battalion of the elite of the Chinese People's Army to come to the Transvaal to train soldiers for your country, in this way, it only takes one to two years, and your country's army has made a qualitative leap, after the training of the instructor corps, I think that even the military quality of your country's soldiers is not much better than that of the Western army, but sending military forces to your country will involve the sovereignty of your country, and I need to seek your country's opinion! ”

The three of them were overjoyed, if they really completed such training, it would definitely be as Jiang Shenghua said, and their military quality would not be much worse than that of a strong Western army!

"Yes, of course I am willing, we can't find such an opportunity! With the help of your army, then we have hope against the British army! ”

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kryugel is naturally willing, and the stronger the combat power in his hands, the more stable his position as a commander in the Transvaal will be, and he can't ask for it!

Jiang Shenghua nodded, and then said: "There is one more thing, that is, after the training of military students and our Chinese People's Army, the military quality of your country's soldiers has improved, but the armed equipment is too poor, the rifles you use now are still front-loading smoothbore guns, and the artillery is also smoothbore guns that have been eliminated by Western countries, these guns are too powerful, and they need to be replaced with more advanced weapons and equipment. ”

This one......

Rodman looked embarrassed and replied: "Mr. Minister, you also know that our finances are relatively difficult, and we need a lot of money to carry out a comprehensive re-equipping of the army......

Jiang Shenghua asked: "I don't know how many armed forces your country has now?" ”

Kryuger replied, "Mr. Minister, the Transvaal now has twenty-five thousand troops, and the Orange Free State has sixteen thousand troops, for a total of more than forty thousand......

Jiang Shenghua nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I can ask Your Majesty to issue an order to assist your country with a batch of the latest munitions, however, this batch of munitions is also retired from the Chinese People's Army, you can rest assured, these rifles and artillery, the service life is no more than five years, and it is still far from being scrapped, thirty Gatling heavy machine guns, thirty infantry guns, twenty heavy artillery, plus 10,000 Liaoyuan No. 1 rifles, because they were redressed in the Empire, they are not of much use, even if it is our military aid to your country, but, This is not enough, your country still needs to buy a batch, and we are willing to provide a batch of arms to your country at a preferential price of 80%! ”

First aid a batch, in the sale of a batch, I have to say, Jiang Shenghua's abacus is very shrewd, and it is useless to keep the retired guns, it is better to take them out and give favors, as for the arms to be sold is the most important, all the weapons of the Chinese Empire, the profit is more than doubled, even if it is discounted, there is still seventy or eighty percent of the profit!

"Your country's army weapons are naturally very powerful, but we are afraid that we don't have so much money to procure them, even if your country gives me a preferential price, it will ......."

Rodman replied embarrassedly.

Jiang Shenghua smiled and replied: "Mr. Rodman, first arm your country's military forces, and then say, the Orange Free State, before the merger, let them see that as long as the two countries merge, they can also get such benefits, you say, will they still be willing to merge?" If it is only to arm your country's military armament, 25,000 men is only the strength of five brigades, five brigades need five artillery battalions, five heavy machine gun battalions, fifty infantry battalions, in addition to the military assistance we provide, your country only needs to purchase 15,000 rifles, 100 artillery pieces, plus 100 Gatling heavy machine guns, these things do not cost too much money, and together, it is only 100,000 pounds, plus 10,000 boxes of ammunition, 20,000 shells and 20,000 boxes of heavy machine gun ammunition, All the costs added up will not exceed 300,000 pounds, we can allow your country to pay in installments, four years, after the payment is completed, it's okay, the general manager of the Huaxia Military Industry Group is my big brother when I was in the army, hehe, there will definitely be no cheating and tricks, if something goes wrong, I can't spare him. ”

300,000 pounds!

This is not a small amount, but what Jiang Shenghua said is very reasonable, if the Orange Free State does not see the strong strength and strong allies of the Transvaal Republic, then why is it willing to merge? After the merger, wouldn't it be better to protect the Boers? Once the Transvaal army is equipped with all the weapons, there is no doubt that the combat power of the Transvaal will increase exponentially, which is both a temptation and a deterrent to Orange, and it will undoubtedly be more promising to promote the merger of the two countries!

Martinas glanced at Kryuger, whose eyes were full of eager anticipation, and there was no doubt that of course he wanted to complete the refitting of his army.

"Rodman, what Mr. Minister said is right, this is a golden opportunity, no matter what, we must also implement the military purchase, from now on, starting from me, all cabinet members, the salary will be reduced by half, and it will not be allowed to rise for four years, even if you are hungry, you must take down the military purchase!"

Martinas gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Mr. President, you are also underestimating your country's financial strength, I believe that because of the cooperation between our two countries, your country's financial strength will have a qualitative leap, only 300,000 pounds, and less than 100,000 pounds a year, for your country, there will not be too much of a problem!"
