You call me a big treacherous evil?

After all, this is not a time of war, when he is preparing to use a secret weapon to make a comeback.

It is also a common practice to use military power to realize political interests.

After all, strategic intimidation is also a part of the negotiating table, so Shinra and Brandenia showed their new equipment to the Confederacy.

Although it has not been completed, the drawings and technical indicators can still be displayed.

Shinra is, of course, a new type of mech that shows off its off-road mobility.

And Brandenia showed off his heavy vehicle project codenamed water tank.

Of course, the reason why the two sides took out this next-generation weapon is also very simple.

That is, weapon research and development is such a costly thing. It is a beautiful thing to be able to pull down a big guy to spend money to reduce research and development costs, and to even out production costs.

And after looking at the equipment that both sides took out.

Although geographically and emotionally closer to the Brandenian Empire, the Confederacy resolutely chose Shinra's next-generation mechs.

After all, the mechas have been used for so long, and they have successfully sent the federal government away with a wave of mecha offensives.

So from the bottom of their hearts, they still prefer mechs.

Of course, the more realistic problem is to use a small standing army like the Confederacy plus a large number of militias.

Moreover, the system of joining the army with inferior weapons of farmers and self-cultivating farmers is not suitable for equipping such a war machine that requires the backing of a country to drive.

The Roman military system of the new era of the Confederacy is still outdated after all.

So Shinra and the Confederacy happily signed a joint research plan for new-age mechs.

Of course, the so-called joint research is actually that the Confederation is responsible for paying, and Shinra is responsible for the research.

Moreover, the Confederation also prepaid a [-]% deposit for the first batch of [-] mechs.

This greatly reduces Shinra's financial pressure on research.

After all, although Shinra is not short of money, a generator is connected from the steam engine, and it is connected to the electric transmission of the legs.

The generator and motor alone will consume a lot of copper, and at the same time, an additional battery will be added.

After this set of things is added, the weight of the whole machine is somewhat beyond the standard, and the structure needs to be reinforced.

After the reinforced structure, the power output of the electric motor is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Therefore, in this operation of adding more water to noodles and adding more water to noodles.

Even Shinra, who is rich and powerful, still has to find someone to take advantage of to share the research and development costs.

However, although the Confederacy did not purchase land battleships that Brandenia used to replace the mechs.

But in this round of procurement, they also signed a scientific research agreement with Brandonia similar to Shinra.

It is used to jointly build a new steam car factory and purchase steam cars in large quantities.

After all, the Confederate plantation owners are also a very playful group of people.

Although they always felt that riding a horse was more gentlemanly.

It is much more stylish than those steam cars that can be done with money.

But after the Battle of Bagno, these gentlemen who were slightly more conservative than the old continent began to feel that too.

Maybe getting some steam cars would be a good thing too.

And after being unable to attack the Yagong country in the Appalachian Mountains for a long time, even after the Yagong country became stronger and stronger.

The Confederacy also began to feel that it was time for some industry.

So the signing of the scientific research agreement this time is also a small attempt of the Confederacy in industrialization.

Because in the terms, when the purchase quantity of the Confederation exceeds a certain amount, Brandenia and Shinra will open factories in the Confederation, so that the Confederation can realize the localized production of trucks and mechs.

Therefore, the southern gentlemen who are not short of money are going to spend money to carry out some limited industrialization.

As for why it is not fully industrialized like the Northern Federation.

It is because these gentlemen saw that the Federation was industrializing.

Industrialization itself has destroyed the "traditional" life of America.

This kind of destruction is not because there are more lights and phones in the house, which are used for enjoyment.

Rather, the social structure has changed.

So they don't want this kind of change in their lives. They hope that their lives can always remain the way they are now, and just go on like this.

As most of the major countries in the world have started a new round of military reforms and armament building.

Other countries have also started military reforms one after another, trying to keep up with this version update.

Of course, the one running in the front is Kanggonglian, which wears the same pair of trousers as Kanglian.

After the establishment of the Third International, the already close military exchanges between the two sides became even closer.

Therefore, in Kanglian's military base and military academy, many soldiers from Kanglian are receiving the same training with them.

Of course, in addition to the Kanggong Federation, there are also a large number of hundreds of thousands of international brigades receiving training in the Kanglian.

Although the members of these international brigades are branded as international brigades, they are actually soldiers from countries such as South Lucia and Magyar that have just split from the disintegrated Bryansk Empire.

In order to bypass the restrictions of the treaty, these countries have trained the number of troops allowed in the treaty according to the standards of military officers.

The rest of the troops chose to join the international column and then went to Kanglian for training to avoid the restrictions of the treaty and the military investigation team sent by Shinra there.

Those military investigation teams will inspect their barracks and arsenals from time to time.

Make sure that these countries strictly abide by the jump limit and do not have more troops than the treaty stipulates.

This method successfully deceived Shinra's military investigation team.

After all, they are on the mainland, and even militias or other paramilitary organizations have not been established.

Let Shinra completely lose their grip.

As for the Magyars and South Lucians in the International Column, what do I care?

Were there even Teutons in the International Column?

Could it be that your Shinra has also become healthy?

Moreover, after the assassination of Victor, the Ministry of the Interior launched a large-scale campaign against spies in the country.

And has always focused on cutting off foreign intelligence networks.

Therefore, Shinra's claws have never been able to effectively reach Kanglian.

Some sporadic intelligence can only be obtained through some moles who have been lurking for a long time.

For example, the armored division and airborne division in Victor's military expansion this time attracted the attention of the Shinra people.

The Shinra General Staff has always wanted to build elite infantry like the Airborne Division.

But at this time, a small problem appeared.

That is, the construction speed of Shinra's airship has been very slow, so at present they have not been able to allow the first airborne division formed to conduct real airborne training.

At the same time, the trick of touching Victor to cross the river this time is not very easy to use.

Because Victor had never been airborne at all during the Battle of Bagno.

As for the previous battles in the Far East, the information that can be obtained is that this group of paratroopers is very capable of fighting.

But how well they can fight, and what tactics they use...

After the warlords they supported in the Far East gave all kinds of contradictory information.

The Teutonic General Staff felt.

Otherwise, let's figure it out for ourselves...

Because according to those warlords, the Kanglian Airborne Army is either a group of ultimate waste that can't even beat the chickens that have just hatched.

Or a group of fearless fighters who can tear apart a company by hand.

The upper limit of these statements deviates greatly, and the described battle situation is outrageous.

At one point, the Teutonic General Staff began to wonder if there was something wrong with their brains when they wanted to support these warlords.

Of course, it was Queen Victoria of Shinra who made this decision.

And the queen can't make mistakes, so although the Teutonic General Staff is dissatisfied with those warlords who can only brag.

But in the end, instead of throwing those files in the trash, prepare yourself to figure out the proper way for paratroopers to open them.

Of course, apart from the Third International camp, some other "small countries" have also started the work of renovating their armaments.

For example, those countries in South Asia, America, and the Far East all expressed their intention to mechanize the army and promote the development of national defense.

However, this kind of work to promote the mechanization of the army has basically become a carnival for officials from various countries most of the time.

Most of these countries have sent procurement missions to conduct a round of procurement.

In addition to the army having a bunch of civilian-level trucks that don't even have off-road capabilities.

On the contrary, the members of those delegations made a lot of money one after another.

Of course there are a few exceptions.

That is the country of cactus and eagle, which actually started to promote the mechanization of the army.

Because at this time, the country of cactus and eagle seems to be very peaceful.

But in fact, it has also come to the brink of civil war.

Although the previous idea of ​​​​building a proletarian country here was forced to stop because it did not receive the support of the Third International.

However, the contradiction between those factions and capitalists who came to the country of cactus and eagle will not disappear because of this.

After all, the contradiction between the capitalists and the ← faction is a fundamental contradiction, unless one of them puts its head or butt in the wrong place.

Otherwise, the contradictions between the two sides will inevitably be irreconcilable.

So under the superficial calm, both sides are planning to engage in a big wave of killing each other.

And at this time, the emperor of the kingdom of cactus and eagle.

I finally figured out that my butt and head should be placed on my throne and my neck respectively.

Instead of dangling and hanging from a rope.

So the emperor of the Cactus and Eagle Kingdom did something that he didn't know whether to call it a genius or a fool.

He allowed capitalists to set up security companies outside of the regular imperial army, and outsourced some defense to these security companies.

For these capitalists, it is a loss for them to squeeze less surplus value.

How could it be possible to allow someone to embezzle your own funds?

Therefore, the army force of the Cactus and Eagle Kingdom began to expand rapidly, and after the capitalists generously spent a lot of money.

These security companies have luxurious configurations that Victor would drool upon seeing.

Of course, Pai will not wait to die when the capitalists establish security companies, except for the traditional workers' pickets.

They also received funding and weapon support from the Kang Gonglian, and established a paramilitary militia organization called the Health Guard.

And also received training from instructors from the Kanggong Federation.

The two sides began a silent arms race.



122 Ideal City

Engage in an arms race and plan an uprising.

Both Kanglian and Kanggonglian have sufficient experience.

It's just that at this time and at this place, it is a little difficult to get the full assistance of North Sardinia before.

Coupled with the events in the Far East, the Third International has also become cautious about aiding fraternal parties.

I used to think that Sardinian Commi was already very disappointing, but after looking at the Far East...

It can only be expected that they can succeed in the westward expedition as soon as possible and resume land transportation with Kanglian.
