Everyone's idea is actually very simple. There are only two ways to solve the pain point of the Tang Empire's landing fleet attack. The first way is to solve the defense of coastal areas. The second way is to build a navy capable of fighting.
Tang's arms exports hit the pain points of these countries, so how could they not be excited? This is equivalent to saying that someone brought a pillow to me when I was sleepy. I imagine it smells like giving someone timely help.
In the view of the envoys from these countries, Tang State also very much hopes to dispel the hostility and concerns of various countries and maintain a peaceful trade environment.
If the whole world is fearful and wary of the Tang Empire and affects the relations between countries, it will obviously be detrimental to the Tang Empire.
As for strengthening the defense of coastal areas, in fact everyone is already doing this: within fifteen days after the new weapons of the Tang Empire appeared, various countries in the Eastern Continent made certain adjustments and deployments.
The first is the Ice Empire. The dwarves built a new fort in Everwinter Port, and Ice Cold I also signed an order to build 4,000 bunkers and hundreds of kilometers of trenches in areas suitable for landing.
At the same time, the production of anti-aircraft guns in the Ice Empire was raised to an unprecedented level. The dwarves even proposed the concept of dual-purpose high-level and flat-fire guns, requiring all anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns to have a certain level of flat-firing capability.
In other words... Under the premise that it could not guarantee its air superiority, the Ice Empire began to pay attention to the development of anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns again.
The Lines Empire is also working hard to strengthen the coastal defense near Bunas. After building forts, they also built dozens of kilometers of defense lines nearby.
In addition, the Dorne Empire and the Gobel Empire also signed orders and ordered the construction of coastal defenses. During this month, everyone has been working hard to dig trenches and build bunkers, as if they want to turn their coastline into a fortress.
However, all of this is passive defense, and the investment is too high, and the results are very limited. What can really prevent the Tang Army from landing on the coast is a powerful naval fleet!
As for how to build a powerful navy... doesn't it depend on the technology of the Tang Empire? Look, haven't they agreed to sell a series of advanced weapons to reassure everyone?
In the eyes of these laymen, is a powerful navy nothing more than new technologies and warships? As long as the Tang State is willing to sell, they can just pay to buy it.
For various countries, the greatest threat is nothing more than the new weapon aircraft carrier that allows the Tang Navy to have maritime air supremacy, and the underwater assassin submarine that appeared a few years ago.
As for anti-ship missiles... Tang Guo promised to lift the ban on sales within two years. This is another good news for countries around the world.
Submarines are actually a good thing that everyone wants to get. As long as you have this thing, you can attack the waterway and attack the enemy's main warships. It can be said to be the ultimate weapon that uses a small amount to make a big difference.
Naturally, the Tang Empire will not charge as cheaply as those outdated fighter jets: the price of a submarine is about 70 million gold coins. This price does not sound expensive, but the same reason remains: the supporting facilities and training costs are expensive. ah!
In total, a submarine costs hundreds of millions of gold coins on average, but everyone is not stupid. They all want to buy one, study it, and learn how to make it themselves.
After all, after so many years, everyone’s investment in submarine research and development has still yielded certain benefits: the only restriction on submarine technology in various countries is the lack of key technical ideas.
As long as you buy a submarine, look at it carefully and learn from it, it shouldn't be difficult to make a bunch of usable submarines if you can't make a particularly good submarine yourself.
Aircraft carriers are even simpler in the eyes of navies of various countries: this thing is just a matter of thinking. In the early years, no one thought that planes could be put on warships to take off and land.
Now that the Tang Empire has developed it, other countries think that they can build an aircraft carrier as long as they build a big ship and then get a large flat deck.
What should I do with the detailed technologies on the aircraft carrier that I don’t understand? Easy to handle! Wouldn't it be enough to buy an aircraft carrier from the Tang Empire and copy it?
That’s right, it’s plagiarism! Wouldn't it be enough to buy an aircraft carrier from the Tang Kingdom and come back to study it yourself? Then make the modifications and build similar aircraft carriers by yourself, just to increase the number?
After all, although making it yourself is a bit worse, the price is much cheaper. And you can modify it yourself to make it more suitable for your own use, so why not do it.
Anyway, whether the aircraft carrier is easy to use depends mostly on the level of the carrier-based aircraft. Wouldn't it be enough to just buy some aircraft that the Tang Empire themselves said were comparable to their own carrier-based aircraft?
Therefore, everyone is asking about the price of an aircraft carrier, as well as some performance indicators and prices of aircraft carriers.
"The price of an aircraft carrier is 190 million gold coins... This price is really too expensive." A special envoy turned green when he heard the price. This time he brought 200 million in funds, and the result... It's almost enough to buy a boat bottom and go back.
Of course, this statement is definitely an exaggeration, but the actual situation is similar: Do you only buy one aircraft carrier? Are there not enough carrier-based fighter jets?
But when it comes to carrier-based fighter jets, things get into trouble: the Tang Empire sells many types of aircraft for various countries to choose from, and of course the performance of these aircraft is also different.
If you want good ones, there are indeed them, including pirates used by the Tang Empire itself, and a mess of various American carrier-based aircraft.
If you want to be average, there is also a Zero fighter to choose from: However, because the performance of the Mirage Air Force is so bad, no one is really interested in this option.
The rest are all very distinctive: Do you want a 97 carrier-based attack aircraft? Do you want 99 ships to explode? Do you want the sea to spit fire? Do you want a sea hurricane?
If you have no money and still want a good torpedo machine... then should you consider a cheap Swordfish attack plane? Although it's a little worse, but...it's better than nothing, right?
After hearing the price, envoys from other countries also began to consider the possibility of designing aircraft carriers at home. The price was so expensive that they thought they could try it themselves.
The special envoy of the Ice Empire also felt that nearly 200 million was too expensive, so he had to start seriously considering whether to buy two such aircraft carriers.
You know, if 400 million or even 600 million were thrown on the battlefield, they might be able to win the entire war against the Yangmu Empire.
The special envoy of the Yangmu Empire also felt that he was hasty, just kidding... What kind of warship can be sold for nearly 200 million gold coins? Before, they might not even spend 15 million gold coins to build a battleship themselves.
Of course, the Tang Empire was indeed preparing to make a fortune from the price of aircraft carriers and submarines, but only those who have experienced it know how terrifying the various technological breakthroughs in these two weapons are.
"It doesn't matter! Our price is here, you can seriously consider it when you go back. Because we are selling aircraft carriers for our own use, there is no way to provide spot goods. Even if you buy it now, our delivery will have to wait until next year." Harry He said to everyone with a smile.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty started to play "hungry marketing" again, just like the armored ships of the year, they were only sold second-hand and delivered next year, everyone began to study the procurement of submarines.
When this thing is combined with a torpedo, no one can figure out how to figure it out, so you should buy it anyway. Take it home for reference, and do your own research...it is still very necessary.
So everyone began to study 70 million submarines: although it was expensive, everyone's enthusiasm did not weaken.
"We plan to purchase three ships!" The special envoy from the Yangmu Empire gritted his teeth and held out three fingers. They are at war with the Ice Empire. If they can quickly form a submarine combat capability and blockade the Ice Empire's ports, they may be able to force the other side to sue for peace.
The Dorne Empire also hopes to purchase two submarines, and the Lions Empire also hopes to purchase two submarines to "build underwater power."
One look at this number and Harry knew that they had all planned to go back and study it themselves and buy two gadgets for reference.
However, Harry didn't point it out: If submarine technology could be learned at will, then a certain frog would have already built his own submarine force. Do we still have to wait decades?
In fact, except for the shipyards built with the help of the Tang Empire, it was all nonsense to produce submarines. Let alone letting them build submarines, they may not even be able to find qualified steel materials and welders.
The more modern high-tech weapons and equipment are, the more they test a country's comprehensive industrial level. If a certain link is not good, then don’t even think about building a similar finished product!
But these countries are now a link, aren’t they? They are not good at every aspect! It is said that it is really difficult for them to build submarines, and it may be a bit difficult for them to drive submarines: if you look at the submarine accident rate of the third brother, you will know what is going on.
So Harry let these people play their own tricks. Anyway, things would come back to him in the end, and the Tang Empire would not lose even a penny of the money it should earn!
"Anything is fine! But three ships is the minimum standard. If there are any less, we will not promise to help you build supporting facilities and train personnel." Harry gave a standard.
So everyone followed suit and immediately adjusted their number of two ships to the minimum standard of three.
The deal was quickly concluded, including "advanced fighter jets" at favorable prices and "submarines", weapons of naval warfare.
