Rise of Australia

Chapter 137
"Your Excellency, we also understand the current situation in your country. It is not a bad idea to increase the price appropriately. But is twice the price too much? We have a good ally relationship with the British Empire, and Australia has a very good relationship with the British Empire. I think we are definitely natural friends with Australia, and I hope that your country can make some concessions on the price of mineral resources, and all islanders will also thank the Australians for their friendship." Yuzawa Koichiro opened his mouth slowly, testing arrive.

Although the island country can accept twice the price, it does not mean that Koichiro Yuzawa will not bargain.

If the price can be reduced to a certain extent, this is also good news for the island country's finances.

After all, all the industries, armies, and warships of the island country are now accumulated bit by bit by the island country tightening its belt from top to bottom.

A little money that can be saved is a little money, and the collection of these saved funds is a huge expense.

Using these saved funds elsewhere may also play a more crucial role in the development of other aspects.

"Perhaps you are right, Mr. Yuzawa Koichiro. The island country Australia has a natural good relationship, and there is no conflict of interest. But the current situation of this matter is also true. We are willing to help the island country solve the problem of resource poverty, but the price This issue is related to the people's livelihood in Australia, and this is not something that can be resolved in a short period of time." The Deputy Foreign Minister first agreed with Yuzawa Koichiro's point of view, and then pretended to be quite helpless, and said very regretfully .

"Old fox!" Yuzawa Koichiro sighed very annoyed, but his facial expression did not change at all. He was still very friendly and humbly said: "In short, the island country thanks Australia for its help to the island country. We respect Australia's opinions on prices, but we also hope that Australia It can be seen from the perspective of the friendly relationship between our two countries that we can reduce it to a certain extent."

Australia's Deputy Foreign Minister nodded sincerely on the surface, but he was very disdainful in his heart.

Not to mention whether the price will be lowered or not, whether he, a deputy foreign minister, can make the decision. What good relationship can there be between the island country and Australia?

Even the covenant between the British Empire and the island countries can be regarded as a breeding treaty. The British Empire just needs a more obedient and aggressive dog to replace the British Empire and the Far East overlord Tsarist Russia to fight.

This is why the diplomatic missions of the island countries are so humble to Australia.No way, Australia has a very good relationship with the current No. [-] army power, the German Empire, and the No. [-] naval power, the British Empire, and the Duke of Australia, Arthur, was also born in the British royal family and is a direct member of the British royal family. The former Queen Victoria of the British Empire The Queen's most concerned grandson.

Under such circumstances, if the island country dares to offend Australia, I am afraid that the angry British have already started marching to urge the government to sanction the island country.

Don't underestimate the current influence of the British Empire. Although the industry and economy have been surpassed by the United States, the actual influence of the British Empire is still the most powerful country in the world.

What's more, the island country is currently only a dog raised by the British Empire, and the relatives of the dog owner can only greet the relatives of the dog owner with a wagging tail.

"Of course, Mr. Yuzawa Koichiro. I will ask His Royal Highness the Duke whether it is possible to reduce the price of resource exports to a certain extent in the future. Besides these, does your country have any requirements?" The Vice Foreign Minister clicked Nodding, asked.

"Mr. Minister, I heard that your country has many British-made and German-made weapons, and even has the ability to produce battleships, right?" Yuzawa Koichiro told his real purpose and asked hopefully.

"We have a lot of British and German weapons. Currently, we have production lines for the British standard rifle Lee Enfield rifle and the German standard rifle Gew98 rifle. Including German artillery and British artillery, as well as our self-developed Maxim Heavy machine guns. These are extremely advanced weapons even in Europe, and we are also one of the few countries that have fully mastered the production technology." When it comes to the military enterprises and types of weapons currently owned by Australia, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Australia showed a serious expression on his face. A confident smile.

At least in terms of the type and advanced level of weapons it currently possesses, Australia is not inferior to the great powers, and it can be regarded as a combination of Britain and Germany in terms of light weapons.

The Australian army is currently equipped with the world's most advanced rifle, the Lee Enfield rifle, equipped with the Maxim heavy machine gun developed by itself, and mass-produced artillery from Germany and the United Kingdom.

In terms of the advanced degree of weapons and firepower output capability, the Australian army is definitely not inferior to any army.

If the same number faced the Russian army with backward equipment and poor quality, the Australian army would even have a good chance of winning.

This is the transformation brought about by science and technology to a country's military power. Advanced technology often determines whether a country's military power is strong or not, and it is also the most obvious difference between an emerging country and a weakened country.

Hearing the affirmative answer from the Australian Deputy Foreign Minister, Koichiro Yuzawa showed an excited smile, and asked impatiently: "Can we import the production line of these weapons from your country? We can pay twice the market price for the purchase, and bear the burden." transportation cost."

The Deputy Foreign Minister is not surprised that islanders are interested in these weapons. Although these technologies are not held by more than one country, they are definitely the cutting-edge technologies of the countries that hold them, and Australia is naturally no exception.

Although exporting production technology to the island country of Australia will not lose benefits, Arthur will definitely not do so.

Unless Australia has mastered more advanced weapons production technology, the production lines of these weapons will never be exported, and Australia's arms business is just selling weapons.

"I'm sorry, sir. The military factory that has mastered the production technology of these weapons is a military factory affiliated to the Royal Consortium, and is 100% owned by His Royal Highness. Please forgive me for not being able to answer your question. If your country really wants to introduce the production line If so, I can ask His Highness the Duke for you, but there is no guarantee that His Highness the Duke will agree." The Deputy Foreign Minister shook his head with a little regret, and resolutely refused.

Australia still wants to rely on these weapons production technologies to do arms business in World War I in the future. How can it export these weapons machine production technologies to cultivate another opponent in the arms business?
