Fox of France

After hearing this, Kano neither refuted nor immediately expressed support. He knew that the army was the base of the Bonaparte family, and they were unlikely to cheat the army. However, because the army is the basic base of the Bonaparte family, Joseph and the others will definitely not lower the treatment of the soldiers. Then, the reduction of military expenditure will mostly fall on equipment or training.

After thinking about it, Kano said, "I don't have too many opinions, so I'll just say two points."

He paused, and then said: "First, when you sell weapons abroad, you must not...well, Joseph, I know what you want to say, do you want to say that the weapons you sell to foreigners are basically Are they all monkey versions? But, do foreigners know that they are buying monkey versions?"

"Then how do you let them know?" Joseph said, "Otherwise, things won't be easy to sell."

"Then you said, if they see that they have more things in their hands than us, and they look at the same things, do you think they will have risky ideas? Let me ask you again, are the things you sell to them cheaper than us?" Are their own things better? Is it possible for them to have the illusion that they have become much stronger?" Kano asked again.

"This is really possible." Joseph nodded.

"So, you see, we have to let them know that the weapons they buy are the monkey version of the weapon. The weapons in their hands, compared with ours, are like the comparison between monkeys and humans." Kano said.

"It's going to affect our revenue," Joseph said.

"No, Joseph." Kano said, "They already know how far they are from their previous selves. Now it's nothing more than letting them know how far they are from us. If they don't buy our monkey version weapons, they will not only be unable to defeat us, but also their neighbors. Even, the more they understand that they are not our opponents, the more they will feel the need to buy our weapons, even our monkeys Edition weapon."

"Halo, isn't this the idea of ​​paying protection fees?" Joseph almost slapped himself in the face. As a time traveler, he actually needs a native to remind him of this set of tricks that later generations have rotted. It's just... too embarrassing! What a shabby, what a fucking shabby!

In later generations, when talking about the word monkey version of weapons, generally speaking, the first thing that comes to mind is Da Mao, but in fact, the monkey version of another superpower, the Beacon Country, is not bad at all. For example, when buying a tank, remove the most critical depleted uranium armor and replace it with the first-generation composite armor that was used before the depleted uranium armor was developed. (Because the skill tree of the depleted uranium armor is lit up, the skills of the ordinary composite armor have been out of order)

Arms trading has always been procured by experts. Don't those countries that buy lighthouse tanks know what a lighthouse tank with depleted uranium armor is? But the monkey version of Lighthouse Country still sells well, why?

First of all, the monkey version of the Lighthouse Country is indeed not as good as the original version of the Lighthouse Country, but it is also better than their own production, and they can't even produce it themselves. Secondly, if you buy the monkey version of the weapon from the Lighthouse Country, you are paying the protection fee to the Lighthouse Country, so other than the Lighthouse Country, no one else can bully you casually. Therefore, whether a weapon sells well or not has nothing to do with whether it is really good or not.

Of course, to get such an effect, the best way is to ask France to find an unobtrusive, easy-to-play character, and clean it up frequently, and the weapons will naturally be sold immediately. It will be the same as after the Lighthouse Country cleaned up the stupid big wood. However, the problem now is that it seems that there is really no one who needs to be beaten up in the European continent for the time being. Austria is basically no longer a hostile country, and it is no good to beat them. As for Russia, it is not impossible to fight, but it is still too far away. What's more, Russia is not the kind of stupid big wood who will not have trouble after the fight.

Since there is nothing to fight directly, we can only refer to the practice of Da Mao's family, and create a "Western-81 military exercise" to scare them.

Of course, an exercise of the scale of Damao's "Western-81 Military Exercise" used ten group armies, more than 300,000 troops, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, and thousands of various aircraft. A military exercise of this scale is beyond the reach of Joseph, or even France, in his lifetime.

Moreover, the exercise is to save money and buy weapons, and military exercises such as the "Western-81 Military Exercise" are too expensive.

However, "Western-81" still has one thing worth learning, that is, it generously invites imaginary enemies to watch the exercise and scares them to death. Joseph thinks that France can also invite those guys who may still have fantasies here, let them see for themselves what a "high-tech war" looks like, scare them to death, and give French weapons a big blow by the way. advertise.

"Joseph, your eyes are shining, did you think of something again?" Kano has worked with Joseph for many years and is quite familiar with him. Once he saw his expression, he knew that he must have thought of something.

"Should we organize a joint military exercise and invite 'friends' from other countries to watch it?" Joseph said.

"You mean, show your paws during this exercise. Show our 'friends'?" Kano also got excited, "Well, let's discuss it together. The first question is, should we What abilities do you need to show them?"

"The ability to maneuver quickly, especially for heavy firepower units, the ability for artillery to maneuver quickly; powerful and rapid firepower, such as breech-loading guns and shrapnel; powerful attacking capabilities, under the cover of firepower, trench excavation and the use of blasting tubes and trench guns ..." Joseph counted on his fingers.

"You haven't mentioned one thing. In fact, this kind of thing can be shown to others." Kano said.

"What?" Joseph asked.

"Navy!" Kano said, "It is the navy that can really stimulate people and force them to buy weapons from you quickly. Let the 'Free Trade' perform a good show on how to destroy free trade in naval exercises, and then sell similar The battleships, anyway, as far as I know, you are already building newer things..."

"I promised Napoleon that the breech-loading guns will not be sold, at least not until the next generation of newer breech-loading guns appears." Joseph said, "But the monkey version of the 'Free Trade' can be sold at will. Well, first let They show it off in the maneuvers, and then we sell it to Turkey, or to the British..."
