"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yarkov Moloto, and I am currently the head of Furious Bear's external liaison office!”
Yarkov took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted him in a friendly manner.
It was hard to feel his hatred for Mayinz from him. It was as if what happened back then did not exist.
Since the other party had let bygones be bygones, Colonel Mayinz didn't need to dig up the other party's scars!
"Hello!"
The two people who were once hostile to each other on the battlefield were now like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, chatting with each other about some interesting topics.
"What do you plan to buy this time?"
Like the allied countries, the Second Empire was a participant in the First World War. It also produced a large number of weapons and equipment, and these weapons naturally had to be disposed of after the war.
In history, because the Second Empire's army was disbanded almost immediately after its defeat, these weapons were immediately snatched away by the allied countries, leaving almost nothing for Hans himself.
In this era, due to the butterfly effect brought about by the appearance of the city of Mayinz, the German army could hold on for a much longer time. During this period, Mayinz had enough time to seize the opportunity to hide and sell these weapons.
After the end of World War I, Europe might have a decade or two of peace. Moreover, the number of German soldiers had decreased significantly after the German army had disarmed. Keeping so many weapons would be useless to the German army and would only give them to the arms dealers of the allied countries.
So, Maynz decided to sell the weapons himself!
His trading partner was mainly Furious Bear, who was in the middle of a war in the east and had an urgent need for firearms.
"What do you have?"
As soon as he heard that the other party had started to talk about business, Yarkov's attitude immediately became serious.
"Airplanes, artillery, machine guns, rifles, and bullets are not available for sale on large warships. We have everything else you want!”
These words were not bragging. When the Second Empire broke out in World War I, it was the second strongest industrial power in the world. The industrial strength of the Second Empire exceeded the combined industrial strength of Britain and France. This was also the main reason why they could face the attacks of Britain, France, and Russia, defeat Russia, and still fight with Britain and France on the Western Front.
Such a powerful industrial strength had created a huge war potential for the Second Empire. These war machines produced millions of weapons for the empire. Just the weapons and equipment that Major Maynz saw with his own eyes were piled up like mountains.
When he went to Munihei for an inspection, he saw more than 1200 scrapped planes in the valley south of Munihei. These planes used to be German fighter planes. After the war, they were destroyed by the allied forces. A large number of planes were dragged into the valley, sawed off the wings, destroyed the electronic instruments in the cockpit, and then abandoned there.
Those who had never witnessed such a scene would probably find it difficult to feel the shock of seeing such a scene.
Standing on the mountain peak beside the canyon, one could see a huge graveyard made of scrapped planes that stretched for six to seven kilometers. The planes that were supposed to be flying in the sky of the Imperium and shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the country were sentenced to death the moment they were born. Most of the planes were dismembered before they even entered the battlefield!
The Europeans were very smart. They knew that they could make a lot of money if they sold these planes. After all, the air force in this era was a new type of military. Other than the old powers, not many countries had an air force, so this thing must have a good market internationally.
However, European countries were unwilling to sell these weapons that represented the most advanced technology. They would rather sell traditional weapons such as machine guns and cannons to backward regions and countries.
However, this situation began to change after the global economic crisis in 1929. At that time, in order to earn foreign exchange, countries relaxed their control over weapons and equipment, so a large number of weapons and equipment began to be sold to the outside world. Even a backward agricultural country like China established its own air force.
Yarkov pondered for a while. To be honest, if he could, he really wanted to buy the large surface warships of the German army!
Although the High Seas Fleet didn't perform well in the First World War, it was recognized as the second fleet in the world. It was second only to the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire, and even the navy of Yingjian couldn't compare to them.
Because the High Seas Fleet did not have too intense a battle, most of the main battleships were still in good condition. If they could get such a well-maintained fleet with advanced equipment, it would greatly improve the situation that Mao Xiong was facing.
The Red Bears had not been established for long, and their naval and air forces were extremely weak. During the Russian period, due to the Russo-Japanese War, the Pacific Fleet and the Baltics Fleet were almost completely destroyed. This was a heavy blow to the Russian Navy, so much so that it could not recover during the First World War.
Since most of the fleet officers were nobles, Mao Xiong had very few surface warships after the October Revolution. Their naval power was almost negligible.
If this was a peaceful era, the weakness of the navy was not a particularly serious problem. They could slowly develop and replenish their strength bit by bit.
However, in wartime, the consequence of the weak naval power was that the bear had a long coastline, but it did not have enough naval power to protect its own coastline. As a result, the coastline and the nearby cities became the springboard for the enemy to attack their homeland, especially the coastal city of Petrograd on the Mediterranean Sea. It was almost always in danger of being attacked by the United States, the United Kingdom, and even the White Army from the sea!
In this case, if they could have a powerful fleet like the High Seas Fleet of the Third Reich, they could easily control the entire Mediterranean Sea and drive the enemy's warships out of the Mediterranean Sea. In this way, not only could they completely resolve the crisis in Petrograd, but they could also take the initiative to attack the enemy's base camp from the sea.
Of course, it was good to fantasize, but they still had to return to reality. Not to mention that Mao Xiong couldn't afford the High Seas Fleet at all. Even if he could afford it, it was impossible for them to drive the High Seas Fleet back to their homeland. They were afraid that they would be sunk by the allied fleets on the way back.
Therefore, it was better to be realistic and buy some other weapons!
"Krupp cannons, Mauser rifles, Maxim heavy machine guns, and bullets. I want as many as you have!”
