 Chapter 506 506 Selling Tanks

"This is our new weapon! In fact, we have designed this weapon two years ago, but... our chief designer thought this weapon was not mature enough, so it was not launched." Introducing the new weapon in front of us The salesman looked regretful, as if what he said was true.

He sighed, and then continued to the visitors: "What I didn't expect was that someone else would take the lead. Although we were reluctant, we decided to take out this weapon that was still in the exploratory stage and satisfy ourselves. national defense needs.”

"We call this brand new combat vehicle a tank, a tank! From now on, this weapon will be called a tank. Chariots and other such things cannot reflect the power of this weapon at all." The salesman said, and began to introduce the weapon after standing up. The giant is coming.

 In fact, the salesman was not telling the truth, because Datang Group did not design and produce this outdated tank that was similar to a water tank two years ago.

Datang Group started with a relatively small light tank similar to the Renault tank, and it was countless times ahead of this kind of World War I tank.

In addition to the differences in design ideas, Datang Group directly went beyond the exploration of overhead crawlers in tank design, and also directly selected more advanced engines and gearboxes, while giving the tank higher speed and stronger strength. defense.

Now, the tanks equipped by Datang Group are completely mature models from the World War II era. Bringing out this kind of World War I tank is just to defraud the wealthy people of their money.

Since the shabby performance of Cyric's A7V tank is similar to that of the A7V tank, don't blame Datang Group for not carrying out technological innovation.

As he spoke, the salesman from Datang Group introduced the excellent performance of this brand-new tank.

Even though it is a piece of junk brought out by the Datang Group to meet the needs of various countries, it is still the most tank-like thing that countries can buy at this stage.

 At least this thing has two overhead crawlers, allowing it to cross obstacles at a faster speed on the battlefield. In this regard, it is countless times stronger than Cyric's tank.

These two tanks follow two different ideas when it comes to the use of tracks: Datang Group's tanks use tracks to give the tanks better maneuverability off-road, while Cyric uses tracks to ensure that the tanks will not sink due to pressure. Go into the dirt...

"The brand new tank is equipped with short-barreled 75mm caliber artillery on both sides. They can help the tank destroy all enemy bunkers and targets on both sides!" the salesman introduced gushingly, and everyone who came to visit was also impressed by this The huge position-breaking weapons were intimidating.

Although they had heard the name of the Cyric chariot, they were still quite shocked when they actually saw a weapon like a tank.

Once this kind of behemoth appears on the battlefield, it can really scare the opponent's soldiers to collapse. When facing this kind of weapon, it is difficult for the soldiers to maintain their resistance.

 Most of the weapons in the hands of ordinary soldiers are useless in front of tanks, which ensures that our own troops can rely on tanks to break through the enemy's solidly fortified defense lines with smaller casualties.

"It can destroy enemy bunkers and attack enemy tanks! With this weapon, you can gain greater advantages in both defense and offense." The salesman's words made all visitors excited. interested.

On the one hand, these buyers want to buy this new weapon called a tank so that they can break through those troublesome trench defense lines in the future. On the other hand, they also hope to obtain a weapon and equipment that can check and balance enemy tanks.

Obviously, if your own tanks can both break through the enemy's defenses and deal with enemy tanks, then you can spend one dollar to do two things. It's not too cost-effective, okay?

Seeing that everyone was eager to pay for it, the salesman took the opportunity to introduce another tank next to him: "Of course, in order to better suppress the enemy's weapons, we also have a machine gun version!"

 Another type of tank is equipped with four machine guns, which can deal with infantry in surrounding positions. Although the firepower is weakened, the attack density is much enhanced and the firepower sustainability is also better.

 It is an important supplement to artillery tanks. If used at the same time, it can play a complementary role in covering each other.

 In fact, this combination follows the original idea of ​​matching tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Generally speaking, it is correct and very advanced.

 Naturally, the envoys who came to the weapons exhibition were all moved when they heard the salesman's introduction.

Especially the dwarf envoy of the Ice Empire, he fell in love with the English-Chinese style as soon as he saw this thing. So, he directly asked about the price: "So, how much does this kind of weapon cost?"

“Both models of tanks are priced at the same price, 350 gold coins for each tank.” The salesman felt that the business was coming and immediately replied.

This price is actually not too much, and can even be said to be very conscientious: based on the current prices of Datang Group, a Renmin Car will sell for about 75 gold coins under the influence of inflation.

In other words, the price of five cars is about the same as one tank. No matter from any perspective, this price is very affordable.

But everyone knows that if these tanks are bought back like this, they are probably in an unusable state - personnel need to be trained, tactics need to be trained, command needs to be learned, and support needs to be rebuilt. Representatives from various countries who have begun to become aware of modern warfare know that it is obviously incorrect to simply calculate the price of a tank.

Sure enough, the salesman soon reminded: "The price of personnel training needs to be calculated separately, and the establishment of the tank force also requires a new logistics support force. Repairing the equipment of the factory is also charged separately..."

Immediately afterwards, he gave a less troublesome quotation: "The package purchase price is 500 gold coins for a tank, which is actually not expensive, and the discount is very strong. However, there is a minimum purchase quantity...the minimum order is 300 vehicles."

Even so, the price is actually not expensive, because the tank obviously needs a better engine, more steel, and two cannons. For this price, it can really be said to be very conscientious.

“I hope everyone can understand that we also have R&D costs and operating costs.” Seeing people talking about it, the salesman continued to explain.

Even if a tank costs 500 gold coins, most countries that have benefited from the war do not think it is very expensive.

What they want is to form their own tank unit as soon as possible, learn new tactics of this weapon, and ensure that their army can take the upper hand in the next war!

Didn’t you see that the Ice Empire and the Kingdom of Susas used airships to gain a huge advantage in this war? The results of the airship gave them a quick victory, and also demonstrated the great value of the new weapons.

Didn’t you see that a country like Goblins could almost defeat the Kingdom of Dorne, which had two famous generals in the world, with the help of tanks?

The real danger is if they don't have their own tanks before the next war breaks out.

Originally, everyone wanted to purchase a batch of Cyric tanks and equipment for the troops, but the battle situation on the Goblin front made everyone wait and see.

  Some countries that were eager to buy bravely went to inquire about the price. As a result, due to the tight war situation, Cyric urgently needed more tanks to be put into actual combat, so they could not get the goods in stock at all.

 If you want to get the goods, you basically have to wait several months or even a year. Most senior leaders in various countries feel that they cannot afford to wait for this kind of delivery speed.

These days, it is no longer time for Datang Group to delay delivery for more than a year and still have people waiting in line to buy ironclad ships.

 Because of the development of industry, everyone has more choices. Datang Group has been unable to get the ironclad ships in stock, so aren't these countries going to Cyric to purchase new ships?

On the other hand, when Cyric couldn't get the goods, everyone turned to Datang Group, which was a natural mess.

 An order of more than 100,000 gold coins is actually not very expensive for various countries. The special envoy of the Ice Empire gave the deposit without thinking. Also paying was the Kingdom of Susas, because they also made huge dividends from this war.

The contract has even been drawn up. Datang Group will deliver 500 tanks to each of the two countries within one year. The specific models will differ somewhat in quantity between the two countries according to their own needs.

The three countries of Galais, Yangmu, and Songmu, which had already restored peace, did not reap any benefits this time. They fought for a year, and the result was basically a waste of artillery shells.

 It was okay for Gales, but the Poplar Kingdom and Pinewood Kingdom even lost a large number of expensive navy and air force, which can be said to be a serious injury.

Under such a general premise, the finances of several countries are actually not well-off, so they also appear to be a bit stingy when it comes to purchasing tanks.

They also purchased 300 tanks, but they did not need Datang Group to rush the delivery. Instead, they were willing to delay the delivery for some time in exchange for a cheaper price.

 Soon they got what they expected and got a slightly better price, but it would take 3 months to get the first batch of tanks.

 After all, each country has orders for hundreds of tanks, and they certainly cannot be produced together, so they are all delivered in batches according to the contract.

The Tang Group, which had received the contract, also opened its factories in Bunas and Yucheng at full production capacity and began to produce Mark 1 tanks day and night.

Subsequently, the special envoys from the Lions Empire, which had not yet ended the war, and the special envoys from the Kingdom of Dorne in the south, also arrived at Jade City.

 They are also interested in the tanks of the Datang Group, and they all hope to get some tanks immediately. Obviously they hope to rely on the tanks of the Datang Group to continue the war that they can no longer fight.
