Before the start of the negotiations, the two invited three ambassadors to observe the demonstration of the power of weapons. Although the firearms and artillery have been weakened to a certain extent, they are not inferior to the Western active equipment, and even better. The embassy has From the military attache's, it was natural to see that this made the ambassadors of the three countries very satisfied.

Shun officials quickly carried out the whole, but this is about a huge arms trade worth 100 million Geely pounds, and both sides attach great importance to it.

Moreover, the war is still in progress. It is decided one day earlier that the arms will be shipped to Europe, and their strength will become stronger.

"Three ambassadors, we have everything you want, half of the quantity is in stock, and the other munitions can be filled in three months."

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said to the three of them, this is a rich man, the profit of an order is half a year's financial income.

The three of them were even more overjoyed when they heard this. They didn't expect to be able to eat all of the orders, and there was still half of the inventory. They had no time to consider why they had the inventory, thinking they had prepared them for their own troops.These equipment can be transported to Europe to solve their urgent needs.

For the time being, there is no need to worry about equipment and personnel. You must know that the consumption of positional warfare is too great.

"This is the price list. Please go through it. If there is no objection, you can sign the contract today."

Tang Shaoyi handed them three lists as he spoke.

However, when Zhu Erdian saw the contents on the list, their expressions changed.

The unit price of each of the above items is about 60% higher than the price in their hearts. A rifle with a price of about 10 auspicious pounds is priced at 18 auspicious pounds, and a grenade is also 5 auspicious pounds.It is about twice as high as they purchase from their own country's arsenal.

Even if it is sold to other countries, plus profits should not be sold at such a high price.

"My diplomat, the price given by your country is too high,"

Sir Julian's complexion darkened a bit, after all, it didn't feel good to be blatantly blackmailed.

"No, Mr. Ambassador, if you want to come, you should understand that our weapons are higher in performance than the equipment you are using now, and this is the equipment that our military needs to purchase. If there is not enough profit, the military is unwilling to use this equipment. Let it out, after all, it will harm our national defense security."

The first person who spoke was not Tang Shaoyi, but Nie Shicheng, Chief of the General Staff, who did what you didn't want me to do.120 novel www.xiaoshuo120.com

"Mr. Ambassador, after all, these were originally equipment set by the imperial army. Because of the outbreak of the war, we have to strengthen our national defense, and the prices of raw materials for steel and gunpowder are constantly rising. We naturally have to increase the prices because When the military orders are transferred, the empire’s arsenal needs to pay the military compensation, so the price can only be this."

Tang Shaoyi also immediately followed Nie Shicheng's words.

If this time the price is 200 million Geely pounds, the profit will be about 120 million Geely pounds. This is the fiscal revenue of the Empire for most of the year, and the research on the air ammonia production by the Imperial Academy of Sciences has come to an end. The cost of making gunpowder will be greatly reduced.In the future, the profit from selling arms will increase to a higher level.

"No! No! Your Excellency Chief of Staff Nie, Lord Tang, although your equipment is of good quality, it is still impossible to have equipment higher than ours. Moreover, the price is too high. If it is 100 million Geely pounds, we can immediately sign the contract. ."

Zhu Erdianke will not believe in any nonsense of liquidated damages. Although this batch of equipment is a little better than what they are using now, their new equipment is almost at the end of research and development, and they are all put in one after another, which is better than these weapons.

"This is only the first batch of equipment. I hope your country can lower the price. We will have more equipment to buy from you in the future."

Gaul’s ambassador Luban also said that although Gaul is rich, the money is not spent like that. Although they are confident of winning the war, the ghost knows how long they will fight.

As for Ambassador Mao Qiu, he didn’t say anything. Anyway, most of the money they bought for the weapons had to be paid by Geely Gaul. Their appointment and a little money were enough. Instead, what he was worried about was the action, which is now in Eastern Siberia and Northwest There were actions that contained their more than 1.5 million troops. If half of these troops could be put on the battlefield, their pressure would be much less.

But none of this can be said. After all, they are just an increase in troops, and they have never crossed the military dividing line.

"One hundred million Geely pounds? This is absolutely impossible! Our military's purchase price is all higher than 100 million Geely pounds. If you insist on this price, then it will definitely be impossible to negotiate."

Nie Shicheng shook his head and said.

For this, there is no need to worry about the price collapse, as long as the price is not too abnormal, Geely Gaul can only pinch his nose and endure it. After all, these things fainted on the battlefield are combat power.Their troops are all waiting, if they lose the war because they don't have the equipment, they will lose out.

"General Nie! The Geely Empire signed an agreement with you many years ago. The chair shows our sincerity. I am afraid that you are not kind enough to do so."

Sir Julian reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.

It can be said that they have seized their weakness and forced them to accept blackmail. If they are unwilling to sell them, where they can buy these equipment, they can only go to various countries to piece together.

Buying a bit here or where to buy a bit will not only make it incomplete, but also because of different formats, the parts cannot be interoperable, and there are problems with use and maintenance, which can be said to have a very large impact.

If they hold on to the price, they have nothing to do...
