Chapter 1745 Differential Treatment

Buyers from various countries have been dealing with Haihan for many years, and have bought many weapons from Haihan. How many of them are good value for money, and how many of them have not reached the level that Haihan boasted in his propaganda. Each buyer has a certain idea in his mind.

Approximate number. Buyers are no longer as blind as in the early years when purchasing Haihan weapons. They not only consider the lethality and price factors, but how to use the weapons after buying them has also become a consideration for each purchase.

one of the conditions.

The combat examples listed by Yan Chujie have solved the doubts of buyers from various countries to a certain extent, whether it is effective to put artillery into field environments, and how to deploy and formulate tactics to maximize its combat effectiveness. This is unknown to the armies of various countries.

field, but Haihan, as a pioneer, is willing to give some guidance in this area, and even teach some tactics summed up in actual combat. This is not something that can be bought with money.

According to Bai Kesi and Yan Chujie, only after ordering a certain number of new artillery from Haihan can they be qualified to send officer cadets to Haihan to receive training in new tactics. This means that the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, the Netherlands, etc. will not be able to send military personnel to Haihan this time.

Countries on the buyer's list will miss this opportunity to learn advanced tactics.

Not only will it not be able to purchase the most advanced weapons, but it will also be distanced from other countries at the tactical level, which is a bit unacceptable to the people attending the meeting.

Su Keyi was the first to express his opposition to this: "What your country is doing is very unfair to some countries. I think that since your country is going to sell these weapons publicly and notify us to participate in this activity, we should not be treated differently. For the sake of regional stability and peace

For the sake of peace, at least all friendly countries in the South China Sea region can be allowed to send personnel to participate in the tactical training phase."

The reason why Su Keyi took the initiative to question Haihan's actions was because he knew that even if he went to discuss the matter with Haihan's senior management in private, it would be difficult to get him to let go. Haihan had been wary of the East India Company for a long time.

The possibility of voluntary concessions in this matter is extremely slim, so Su Keyi's strategy is to try to get as many countries in the same situation to speak out together and raise objections to Haihan's arrangements. Only in this way can Haihan be allowed to

The unified opinions of the countries changed their minds.

Taking a step back, even if Su Keyi does not achieve the results he expected, it may still be able to establish the image of an opinion leader for the East India Company. After all, no one dares to publicly question Haihan's approach on such an occasion.

Common.

Sure enough, Su Keyi's question was immediately responded to, and this time it was the Ming Dynasty envoy Fei Cexian who spoke out.

"What Mr. Su said is absolutely correct. Since your country claims that the purpose of selling weapons is to maintain regional peace, why should you treat it differently and restrict some countries from participating?" Fei Cexian said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, your country

If the country wants to continue selling weapons, it should level the playing field so that all countries have the power to order weapons."

Yan Chujie responded: "In that case, let me explain. We restricted the Netherlands this time because we sold a batch of warships to them last year. It was precisely to balance the strength of the Netherlands and other countries that we included them in this event.

Purchase restrictions on it.”

Yan Chujie paused and continued: "As for Daming, it is not among the purchase restrictions in our country. Sir Fei is overly worried."

When Fei Cexian heard this, he was shocked to realize that he was not the only one attending this event on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, but also officials from Fujian. However, in Fujian, the Xu family did their own thing and did not coordinate with the imperial court.

They have not communicated with their side. And Haihan has given great support to it. These new weapons launched today will naturally be provided to Fujian. However, in the eyes of outsiders, selling arms to Fujian is equivalent to selling arms to Fujian.

It's clear to Ming Dynasty. In this way, to onlookers who don't know the reason, Fei Cexian's doubt is indeed a bit nosy.

On this occasion, Fei Cexian would certainly not be able to expose his family scandal and make the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Xu family of Fujian known to the public. If he continued to tangle with the Haihan people, he would only bring humiliation to himself. In response to Yan Chujie's explanation, he could only smile bitterly.

, there seems to be nothing to refute.

Xu Yuzhuo, another representative of the Ming Dynasty, did not react at all to Fei Cexian's initiative to speak out. He did not take the initiative to talk to Fei Cexian in the past two days in order to avoid the two sides meeting.

It's embarrassing. Although the Fujian Xu family has established its own system and its attitude towards the court has become increasingly aloof, there is really no need to confront the Ming envoys in such diplomatic situations. If the two sides really have a dispute, what will happen to the Fujian Xu family?

It's not a good thing to be proud of.

Su Keyi immediately noticed the strangeness. He had been in Sanya for a long time, and the East India Company also operated a Damuan Port in the Fujian Strait, so he had no idea about the relationship between the Fujian Xu family and Haihan.

He knew it well. But before that, he had not thought that there seemed to be a deep gap between the Xu family in Fujian and the Ming Dynasty. Even on a special occasion like today, Fei Cexian and Xu Yuzhuo were on separate sides and had no intention of joining forces.

mean.

"It seems that Fujian will be included in Haihan territory sooner or later." Su Keyi couldn't help but have a thought in his mind.

However, Haihan really has no plans to annex Fujian at the moment, because doing so will not only anger Daming, but will also affect the foundation of the Xu family in Fujian, and may even force this die-hard ally to turn against Haihan.

It is harmful and useless. Let the Xu family stay in the Ming Dynasty system to take charge of the military affairs of Fujian. On the one hand, it can control the Fujian Strait while maintaining the superficial peace with the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, Haihan can also obtain the changes in the domestic situation of the Ming Dynasty through the Xu family, and will

Fujian continued to serve as one of the trading ports for exchanging personnel and materials with the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, from the perspective of the Dutch, this is a somewhat sour thought. After all, the Dutch started operating in the Fujian Strait much earlier than Haihan, but in the end Haihan took control of this area, and they only

There is only one Damuan Port on the island of Taiwan, but the original trade share with the Ming Dynasty was completely squeezed out by Haihan. Now Damuan Port only generates income from agricultural products. If you want to do some cross-border trade, you have to look at the faces of the Haihan people.

.Based on the current income level of Taimuang Port, it is just better than nothing for the Dutch who are used to smuggling trade.

But after Fei Cexian's support was defused by Yan Chujie's few words, no one stood up to cheer for Su Keyi anymore, which made Su Keyi feel a little resentful. He turned his head and glanced at the North Korean envoy again, but Li Xi looked at him with his nose and nose.

He didn't look in his direction at all, and obviously didn't intend to make a fuss about it. Su Keyi sighed secretly, and could only skip this section on his own.

The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were all rebuffed by a few words. How could Li Xi dare to answer this question? He had a drink with the young prince Zheng Zha of Annan last night. Xu Yuzhuo was also present. The conversation also touched upon the relationship between the Xu family in Fujian and the Ming court.

relationship between them, so he is quite aware of the situation and will naturally not take the initiative to participate in these conflicts within the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is another reason that Li Xi himself knows, that is, North Korea has not prepared a budget for this arms sales event at all. Even if Haihan cancels the purchase restriction, he will not have a role. If he jumps out to fight against others, it will be over.

If your own country doesn't benefit at all, then why bother?

Needless to say, the result of this promotion is needless to say. Even in order to master the new tactical system that Yan Chujie mentioned that has been practiced on the battlefield, countries have to buy a batch of cannons first before they can cut their flesh. However, the price of this heavy weapon is higher than before.

The muskets are much more expensive, and a thousand Type 36A rifles may not be as high as the total price of ten new artillery pieces. If you want to equip them into the army on a regular basis, you really have to spend a lot of money.

But Xu Yuzhuo, the wealthy representative of the Xu family, quietly ordered eighty cannons, twenty of each caliber. Zheng Zha was not lagging behind. He also ordered eighty cannons on the spot and said he could add more.

The money is expediting the construction period, and I hope Haihan can deliver the goods as soon as possible.

And Li Xi can only express envy for this kind of arms order that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. He knows the situation of his country well, and North Korea cannot afford to buy dozens of the latest Haihan artillery in such a lavish way. Last year, Haihan

The guns sold by the Han Dynasty to North Korea were basically old city defense guns, and the price was cheaper than the Type 36 field guns launched this time. However, even so, that batch of weapons almost drained the North Korean treasury, and even the royal family was

I paid for it out of my own pocket.

When Su Keyi saw that even the Portuguese had successfully placed an order, he finally couldn't sit still, stood up and left the table angrily. Haihan's differential treatment during the arms sales process will make the Netherlands' situation in the South China Sea even more difficult, and Su Keyi's

However, there was no effective solution to change Haihan's attitude, so he could only express his protest by leaving the meeting.

"It's unbelievable." Fei Cexian witnessed with his own eyes how the Haihan people sold a large amount of arms to the Xu family in Fujian, but as the official owner, he was unable to buy weapons from here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. He could say unceremoniously,

Haihan's behavior was to encourage local warlords to oppose the imperial court, and even consciously created divisions within the Ming Dynasty. His attitude was extremely unfriendly.

If it had been the time when he first arrived in Sanya, the current situation might have made him unable to restrain himself. At least he would have included a copy of the Fujian Xu family in the memorial, accusing them of having liaisons with foreign countries, privately purchasing ordnance, and deceiving the imperial court.

Conspiracy. However, after staying in Sanya for so many months, Fei Cexian gradually learned to look at the problem from an overall perspective. The dispute between Haihan and the Xu family in Fujian could only be solved by his memorial and complaint.

Solve it, then Xu Xinsu should have been investigated and dealt with by the court long ago, how could it have developed into the current uncontrollable situation.

If the imperial court was really determined to investigate the Xu family in Fujian, the most likely situation would be that the Lingnan region changed overnight, and the Xu family established themselves as kings with the help of the Haihan people and split from the Ming Dynasty.

As for Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, which are adjacent to Fujian, can the imperial court still order troops to quell the rebellion? Fei Cexian believes that the answer is no. Except for the situation in Jiangxi, which is slightly better, Guangdong and Zhejiang have both been invaded by Haihan.

The infiltration was so severe that even before the troops were moved, the local magistrate's letter of surrender had already been handed over to the Haihan people's desks.

There is no doubt that Haihan's layout in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty has become increasingly difficult to shake. Local tyrants like the Xu family in Fujian who openly colluded with Haihan may appear more and more in the coastal areas in the future. And the main forces of the Ming Dynasty

All the energy is focused on resolving the existing wars, and they can only adopt a cautious or even laissez-faire attitude towards hidden dangers that may trigger civil war, which makes the space that Fei Cexian can play more limited.

Although he was very unhappy with Haihan's diplomatic attitude, Fei Cexian had no choice but to compromise in the end. The only thing that made him feel "relaxed" was that North Korea was not among the targets of Haihan's weapons sale, otherwise he would definitely

He would think that the North Koreans had also colluded with Hai Hanhang and completely betrayed the Ming Dynasty. As for the very practical reason that North Korea had no money to participate in arms transactions, he really had not thought of it.

After a short break, Bai Kesi walked to the stage again and began the third stage of sales.

"Of course, the army equipment sold by our country this time is more than what we just saw. However, considering the time issue, we only put rifles and artillery on display at today's event. As for other weapons and equipment, you can first study what we provide.

Please refer to the reference materials and confirm the order with us later.”

In addition to advanced weapons such as guns and cannons, Haihan can also produce high-quality cold weapons. Haihan's current steel smelting technology is also unparalleled in the world. Coupled with mechanized processing methods, the cold weapons it can produce are not only high-quality but also cheap.

, and the unified format facilitates logistics management, which is more cost-effective than hiring craftsmen from various countries to hand-make them themselves. It is also a major item for bulk procurement by the military of various countries.

Among the orders received by Haihan Ordnance Industry every year, the number of cold weapons far exceeds that of guns and guns. However, for Haihan, the profit is too low after all, and there is no need to spend time on promotion on such important occasions.

It is worth mentioning that there is no sales restriction on the export of cold weapons, so both the Ming Dynasty and North Korea can place orders with Haihan. This may be the only news that can bring Fei Cexian comfort today.

Baikes on the stage continued: "I know that in addition to being concerned about the army's equipment, you are also waiting for the naval equipment that we will sell this year. Then let me introduce to you the cooperation between Haihan Ordnance Industry and Sanya Shipyard.

The military ships we can bring to you this year.”

Up to now, Haihan has actually liberalized the export of exploration-class warships. Annam, Champa, Fujian, and even the East India Company have purchased exploration-class warships exported by Haihan. Although the export model is different from Haihan Navy

There are still gaps in performance between the equipped models, but for the navies of other countries, this is already the best warship they can get.
