Charles XII asked for 50,000 automatic rifles, Yang Meng's heart blossomed, what else attracted Charles XII more than automatic rifles these days?

Although these Kangxi No. 1 and No. 2 automatic rifles are imitations of the advanced weapons of later generations, they are indeed very powerful, and they have been ahead of the world's military level in this era. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Swedish army is currently very strong, and if equipped with these weapons, it will definitely be able to occupy a strong position in northern Europe, eastern Europe and even Western Europe.

Yang Meng was not worried about the threat of the Swedish army to China, and the two countries were far apart, and a military conflict was unlikely.

On the other hand, if you are an ally with Sweden, this is a very good option.

The imaginary enemy of the Qing Dynasty, at present, there is only one evil country, and it is an alliance with Sweden to let Sweden contain the evil country, so that the evil country will inevitably focus its military on the Swedes.

Once the evil country cannot threaten the Qing Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty can develop with peace of mind, although this is still not Yang Meng's Qing Dynasty.

Yang Meng hoped that the Qing Dynasty's national strength would rise rapidly and its population would increase rapidly, so that the Dzungar Special Region, the Kazakh steppe, the Volga River basin, and the Ural River basin could be consolidated.

Of course, Yang Meng doesn't have to worry about the secret leakage of the weapon. Not to mention whether the Swedes will develop alternative products, Yang Meng's own military factory has now invented the Kangxi No. 3 automatic rifle.

This automatic rifle is not only lighter, more powerful, and faster in bursts, but also very suitable for cavalry combat.

Not only are automatic rifles more optimized, but small-caliber but powerful cannons have been produced in military factories, which have a range of more than 2 kilometers, which is also ahead of the current world military industry.

In short, the military of the Qing Dynasty will not lag behind.

Thinking of this, Yang Meng said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, then I will directly say that this kind of rifle, we also took a lot of effort to produce, these barrels are made of steel that has been tempered thousands of times, the cost is very high, and the furnace for steelmaking is also very consuming of materials." The cost of such a gun is three hundred taels of silver, plus the distance is long, and the freight is not low. Your Majesty, I will take a whole number, three hundred taels of silver, and of course, Your Majesty, you can also use gold. ”

Yang Meng slowly said his psychological price. One is 300 taels, 50,000 taels, that is 15 million taels, such a large military purchase is enough to make Meng Xiaobo's pocket completely bulge!

Charles XII smiled: "Three hundred taels of silver, it's a bit expensive, but it's worth it, it's a deal!" ”

Charles XII secretly thought that after he had this batch of weapons, who would he be afraid of? The conquest of Europe, I'm afraid, is also a matter of time.

At this time, Sweden conquered Finland and Norway and defeated the bad country, which was likely to break the alliance between the bad country and Poland and Denmark, and Charles XII's spirit was very high, and he tried to make Sweden rise and become the master of the European continent.

As for the silver, the areas conquered by Sweden will be well provided, even if it is 15 million taels, Charles XII will take it out.

"Haha, Your Majesty is so crisp, I admire it very much. Now that His Majesty has defeated the army of the Bad Country, he also needs to guard against the counterattack of the Evil Army, and beware of Poland and Denmark, the allies of the Bad Country. There is a proposal under the following, Sweden and the Qing Dynasty might as well become allies, and the two countries will help each other to deal with the complex situation in Asia and Europe together. ”

Yang Meng praised Charles XII and then made his own proposal.

Charles XII also reacted quickly, and he immediately said: "This is very good, the Qing Dynasty and Sweden are both powerful countries, and we will definitely become the masters of our respective continents when we join forces." Since the alliance, then I'm not welcome, this purchase of your muskets, will cause problems in the Swedish treasury, I don't think it's as good as this, Sweden has vast marine resources, marine fisheries, is a major financial pillar of our Sweden, so let's provide 5,000 tons of dried fish fillets for the Qing Dynasty to offset part of the payment, I don't know what His Excellency the General wants? ”

When Yang Meng heard this, he did not object to Charles XII's proposal.

Now the supply of the expeditionary force has always been self-sufficient, and the Dzungar Special Region was laid down, and a large amount of beef jerky was replenished, but after the subsequent attack on the Ural River Valley, it was exhausted, and the supply behind it was still a little intermittent, almost not renewed.

5,000 tons of dried fish fillets can improve the lives of the troops, and of course, some can be sold to Turks and Kazakhs.

It's a cold winter, and the availability of food is a problem, especially for nomads.

"Your Majesty's suggestion is very good, I have always liked the taste of dried fish fillet, although the Qing Dynasty also has it, but the Baltic specialty, maybe the taste is different. In this way, the price of these 5,000 tons of dried fish fillets is 5 million taels of silver, and His Majesty will pay 10 million taels of silver at that time, plus these 5,000 tons of dried fish fillets. But where do we trade? You know, the people of the bad country won't provide us with a passage. Yang Meng said.

Charles XII nodded his head and then shook his head, apparently also worried about transportation.

If it weren't for winter, Charles XII would still have a way to ship by sea, but now that the glaciers are all frozen, shipping is unreliable.

After thinking for a long time, Charles XII said: "Your Excellency General, in my opinion, let's borrow the Ottoman Empire, their sultan still has some friendship with me, and when the time comes, what does Your Excellency General think?" ”

Yang Meng nodded and said, "That's the only way, I hope the Ottomans won't set up obstacles at that time." After all, the current strength of the Ottomans is also very strong, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not think about it. ”

"No, the Ottoman Sultan is still a gentleman who values love and righteousness, and when the Evil Countrymen, Poles, and Danes besieged our Sweden before, the Ottoman Empire also came to our aid, so let's do it, I will give the Ottoman Empire a little sweetness at that time. However, this is not a long-term solution, and we must open a channel. Charles XII said.

Yang Meng said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this passage will be opened sooner or later." The establishment of the Grand Duchy of Kievan Rus will soon open up a passage connecting the East and the West, and at that time, the Qing Dynasty and Sweden will be able to easily communicate with each other, and the friendship between the two peoples will become deeper and deeper. ”

"Yes, it seems that the Grand Duchy of Kievan Rus is an opportunity. Now that we occupy the Dnieper River basin, we must also occupy the Don River basin, and the security of Kievan Rus' will only be guaranteed when the two river basins are connected. Charles XII said.

Yang Meng said with a smile: "The winter of the evil country will continue forever, Your Majesty can wait for the harsh winter to pass and quickly expand the results of the war, but you can't go deep alone, even if you have the opportunity to attack Kharkov and Moscow, don't move forward easily, the willpower of the evil country people should not be underestimated." ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency the General has been far-sighted and taught." Charles XII agreed with Yang Meng's opinion on the surface, but he was such a proud person, deep down, he was still cautious and disdainful of the Chinese people.

Taking Poltava, Kharkov and Moscow will be an easy road, and Charles XII, already brewing a new operation.
