"Minister, I want to form an infantry division today, but I am not satisfied with the weapons and equipment provided by the Fengtian Military Department. Therefore, I hope to purchase a batch of weapons from your country to distribute to the troops.”
After pondering for a moment, Harrison slowly said,"
"Young Master Zhang, to be honest with you, the weapons and equipment of the Hans Country are definitely the best military products in the world. We have the spirit and exquisite skills of craftsmen!”
"The performance and superiority of its weapons completely beat other countries, so your choice is simply the wisest choice!”
Harrison was overjoyed. He was naturally very happy to have a business delivered to his doorstep.
After all, in the arms purchase business, this was completely a violent industry!
It could really be said that if they didn't open for business for three years, they would eat for three years!
Moreover, the person who came was Marshal Zhang's second son, a figure with real power. Presumably, his words were very valuable. Furthermore, Hua Nation was currently in chaos and war was not stopping.
Then, the German-made weapons would definitely occupy an absolute number in the Northern Army's equipment.
"Minister, it is precisely because we believe in the performance of the Hans 'weapons that we came to purchase German-made weapons.”
"This is the list of weapons. Please take a look!”
Zhang Xueming took out a shopping list from his bag and handed it to Harson.
In order to increase the combat strength of his troops in a short period of time, he had to be armed to the teeth.
Therefore, Zhang Xueming carefully selected everything from guns to backpacks and clothing, so he also listed a large number of items he needed on the list.
Especially now that Fengtian City's military industry was relatively backward, not only did many weapons and equipment not have the ability to be produced, even if the guns were broken, they could not be repaired at all.
Therefore, Zhang Xueming had no choice but to buy more this time to make a backup.
After Minister Harhausen received the list, he could no longer hide the smile on his face. This was undoubtedly a sky-high price.
50,000 Mauser 1898 rifles, 200 light machine guns, 150 37mm rapid-fire cannons, 100 47mm rapid-fire cannons, and matching ammunition.
"Young Master Zhang, isn't it a little too much for your division?”
Harrison asked in surprise.
He had some understanding of the Northern Army's military. The Northern Army had a total of 12,000 soldiers.
There was no need for so many weapons and equipment. It was more than enough to equip an army.
"Minister, although I only have one division, I didn't say that I would only buy one division's equipment! I have to think about the future too!"
Hearing Zhang Xueming's words, Minister Harhausen immediately understood.
"Young Master Zhang, I can give you the best price for these weapons and equipment!”
Minister Harhausen said with a smile.
Zhang Xueming nodded after listening.
"If the price is right, I will also persuade my father to order the elimination of other equipment in the Feng army.
All of them are German-made weapons, and there are too many types of equipment. This has caused a huge pressure on our logistics!”
"Young Master Zhang, your choice is very wise. If your army is equipped with Wan Guo brand weapons, it will be a disaster for the logistics!”
Harhausen tried his best to suppress his smile and continued to speak.
If all the soldiers were equipped with German-made weapons, it would be a great fortune for the Hans!
"Young Master Zhang, I can give you a big discount for the weapons you need to purchase this time. You only need 30 million Imperial Mark, which is equivalent to 5 million silver.”
When Minister Harhausen finished speaking, a trace of seriousness flashed across his eyes. He handed the bill directly to Zhang Xueming.
After Zhang Xueming's subordinates heard this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch a few times, and their faces were filled with shock.
30 million marks! Five million taels!
The entire Fengtian City had a financial surplus of only 10 million taels. If 50% of the money was used to purchase firearms, the higher-ups of Fengtian City would definitely not agree.
Moreover, it was Zhang Xueming's private army, which was not under the jurisdiction of the Fengtian military.
Minister Harhausen stood up, straightened his clothes, and was about to leave.
After all, if someone else had come to purchase such a large amount of firearms, Harrison would have chased him out.
For such a deal, one needed to be at least a high-ranking official of the Hans Country's finance minister to be qualified.
He was only a diplomatic civil servant stationed in Fengtian, a civil servant without actual administrative power.
"Good! Deal. I hope Hans will hurry up and send this batch of firearms over!”
The subordinates behind Zhang Xueming couldn't help but twitch their mouths. How could the regimental commander say something so unrealistic?
Could it be that his regimental commander was the illegitimate father of the ambassador of the Hans Kingdom??
One had to know that this was business!
They didn't care if you were Zhang Zuolin's son or not, and they weren't afraid of Feng Jun's gun!
After all, not only did the Hans have more guns than the Feng army, but they also had cannons!
At this moment, everyone in the side hall focused their gazes on Zhang Xueming.
