The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

As for the fact that the hairy bear people are willing to spend real money to buy weapons, the German Zhiren seems a little incredulous.

"Your Majesty, will there be any fraud in this?"

Because of the poor historical reputation of the hairy bears, the Second Empire has become suspicious about this matter.

A country that often cheats and does not pay has suddenly become well-behaved and willing to spend real money on purchases, and this contrast is indeed worthy of alarm.

"The hairy bear man probably wants to pull our tiger skin to deceive the sun!"

Bismarck was a veteran diplomat who saw through the tricks of the hairy bears at a glance.

"Shall we refuse the deal, lest we let their plot succeed?"

The trade minister was still very enthusiastic about this order, but when he heard Bismarck's words and realized the seriousness of this matter, he did not dare to accept this order.

"It's okay, the hairy bear people are finally willing to send us a wave of money, naturally we can't miss it, they want to pull the tiger skin and let them pull it up!"

Andrews waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to worry, he could do what he wanted, and there was no need to worry about anything else.

"Where the sun doesn't set?"

The Minister of Trade was relieved to hear the Emperor's words, but he was still a little worried about the diplomatic impact of the sunset.

"The sun never sets is a smart man, they just need to investigate to know that we are not on the side of the woolly bear, at most we have made a war fortune and made a little money.

If they don't like to see us sell our equipment to the woolly bear, they can buy weapons and equipment from us, we can sell them the surplus weapons, and then the woolly bear will not be able to buy it!"

The Minister of Trade's eyes lit up, and the method that the Emperor had said was a good one.

The Second Empire did not actually enter the war, and it was a powerful and influential country.

The sun never sets at the critical moment of the war with the woolly bear, and they will not have the ability to come to the stubble of the Second Empire.

Even, in order to prevent the Second Empire from continuing to fund the Woolly Bears, they will also give the Second Empire corresponding benefits in exchange for the Second Empire cutting off the arms sales to the Woolly Bears.

The Second Empire can take everything from side to side, and they don't have to pay anything for themselves.

If the war between these two countries is fought for a long time, the production of weapons and equipment in the two countries will certainly not be able to keep up with the speed of consumption.

When the time comes, they will definitely purchase weapons from abroad, and the Second Empire did not participate in the war, there are many weapons and equipment, plus the quality of the products of the Second Empire is good, and it has a good reputation.

Once they use it, they will definitely like the equipment of the Empire, and they may be able to make a lot of money by selling arms when the time comes!

There is a way that when a cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold.

He Ying-chan can use the opportunity of the two world wars to quickly achieve a rise, and the Second Empire can naturally copy this path!

......

The hairy bears spent 300,000 taels of gold to buy 100,000 new rifles and 200 Krupp guns from the Second Reich.

In addition to this, they procured 20 million rounds of ammunition and 20,000 rounds of artillery shells.

At this time, the currencies of various countries were on the gold standard, and paper money could be freely exchanged for gold according to a certain proportion.

The 300,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for about 2.04 million pounds, almost $10 million.

So on average, a rifle is worth $80 and a gun is worth $5,000!

This price is at least twice as expensive as the guns of the countries on the market, but because the new rifles of the Second Reich used smokeless gunpowder, which was a generation ahead of the rifles of other European countries, the price was actually quite fair.

The Furry Bears also thought it was expensive at first, but after testing the new rifle from the Imperial Arsenal in the field, they immediately praised it!

And with this batch of equipment, the woolly bears quickly achieved results on the battlefield in Eastern Europe.

On August 22, 1788, at the Battle of Edirne in northern Thrace, the Russian army won a landslide victory against the British and Ottoman armies using new weapons purchased from the Second Empire.

In this battle, at the cost of 12,000 casualties, the Russian army defeated as many as 120,000 British and Turkish allied forces, and under the heavy protection of the enemy, took Edirne, and killed and wounded at least 20,000 people, of which the British army suffered at least half of the casualties!

This big victory made the whole country rejoice! (If you read a cool novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Since the Crimean War thirty-five years ago, they have finally been humiliated on the battlefield, defeated the sun never set, and avenged the revenge of the year.

Moreover, Edirne is the western gate of Junbao, and the loss of this place means that the west side of Junbao is no longer in danger to defend, and the next step of the Russian army will be directly to the city!

After receiving the news of the victory at the front, Tsar Alexander III closed his mouth with joy!

He kept praising in his mouth: "The weapons of the Second Empire are really good things, the fortress that I couldn't take down for so long before, after replacing it with the weapons and equipment provided by them, I actually conquered it all at once!"

He had thought that the Battle of Edirne would last a long time, just like the Battle of Sevastopol!

In that war, the two sides fell into a tragic offensive and defensive battle, you can't take my position, I can't gnaw your defense line.

And each attack cost both sides heavy casualties, and the war gradually turned into a brutal war of attrition.

In the end, the weaker woolly bear was the first to take the lead and had to declare the end of the war after paying a heavy price.

And this time, in the face of the same opponents, the Tsar's greatest fear is that the sun never sets against them using the same tactics!

The sun never sets, the national strength is strong, and they can afford it completely, while the woolly bear's national strength is much weaker, and the place of the battle is thousands of kilometers away from their homeland.

In this case, it is very unfavorable for them that the tide of battle drags on.

So Alexander III issued a strict order for the army to take the fortress of Edirne as soon as possible at all costs.

However, after several fierce attacks by the Russian army, the enemy's defense line did not move, and they themselves paid more than 20,000 casualties.

This kind of casualty made the woolly bear people think that they had returned to thirty years ago!

When they were pessimistic about the prospects of the war, they didn't expect the Russian army to succeed and take Edirne so quickly.

This was completely unexpected by the Tsar, which is why the Tsar seemed so excited.

With Edil in his hands, will Constantinople be far away?

"Your Majesty, since the weapons of the Second Empire are so useful, should we purchase more?

After all, we have an army of 700,000, but at present there are only 100,000 troops equipped with the new weapons provided by the Second Empire, and more than half of the troops have not been rearmed.

If they also complete the change of clothing, the combat effectiveness of our army is bound to be greatly improved, and when the time comes, they may be able to quickly defeat the British army and win this war!"

After seeing the benefits of the Second Empire's weapons, the hairy bears were no longer interested in the shoddy things produced in their own country!

So even if the weapons of the Second Reich were expensive, they still wanted to buy them!.
