130

The news that the Allies surrounded the 120-bear army was quickly publicized by the Allies.

Just when the Soviet army decided to send Tukhachevsky to lead the army to rescue the surrounded Soviet army, the Allied Powers also began to frantically purchase various supplies to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.!

Although the Weimar Republic did not participate in this war, as the scale of the war continued to expand, the Weimar Republic was eventually affected by the war.

Of course, this effect is not a bad thing.

For example, in order to reduce transportation costs, the consumption of frontline troops can be replenished nearby.

The Allies began to order various supplies from the Weimar Republic. At the beginning, they ordered supplies such as quilts, military tents, gauze and medical supplies.

Then as the decisive battle came, they began to purchase some weapons from the Weimar Republic, including bullets, artillery shells and even rifles.

Of course, these weapons are not for use by the Allied Powers' own armies, but for use by the Pineland Army and the White Army in Mao Xiong who lack weapons!

In this era, the specifications and standards of weapons in various countries around the world are different. The differences in specifications and standards make it difficult for weapons from various countries to be universal.

For example, most of the rifles equipped by the German army are Mauser rifles. The caliber of this rifle is 7.92 mm. This is quite different from the 7.62 mm caliber of later countries around the world. This gap makes it impossible for 7.2 mm caliber bullets to be fired in Mauser. used on the rifle.

The rifle equipped by the Sun Never Sets in the same era is the Lee-Enfield rifle. The caliber of this rifle is 7.7 mm. Although it is relatively close to the 762, there is still a difference, so the bullet is still not universal.

As for the French army, they only have the M1916 rifle. The caliber of this rifle is 8 mm, which is larger than the caliber of the rifles of Sun Never Set and Hans, so the bullets of the three countries cannot be used at all.

In this case, neither the Sun Never Sets nor the Gauls would be able to purchase German bullets unless they also replaced the firearms. But after they get used to their own rifles, it may be difficult for them to accept Hans Mauser rifle.

And this problem is not a problem for the White Army and the Pineland Army!

The White Army no longer had a stable rear area at this time, and they lacked military factories to produce weapons for themselves. Therefore, they used whatever weapons the Allies supported. This resulted in the White Army's weapons being extremely messy and affecting both logistics and combat effectiveness. It had quite an impact.

In this case, purchasing the remaining weapons and equipment from the German army during World War I was a very good business for the Allied Powers. After all, the firearms eliminated by the five million German soldiers were not sold at all, and Since it is a backlog of old products, the purchase price will definitely be cheaper than brand-new weapons purchased from their own country.

Although the Allies wanted to arm the White Army, they were not fools and needed to calculate the cost. If they could accomplish the same thing with the least amount of money, there was no reason not to do so.

As for Bolan, because they became independent after World War I, the country was almost wiped out during the war. In addition, when Mao Xiong occupied Bolan, he did not build and develop it properly. This made Bolan Their industrial base is very weak. Although they have a stable rear, they have military factories that produce weapons and equipment. Therefore, the weapons of the Polish army also need to be imported.

The size of the Pineland Army at this time has reached 1.2 million, and the White Army, which is only under the control of the Communist Party of China, has more than 1 million people, plus some miscellaneous servants of the country who are joining in the fun. The Allies want to support There are about 2.5 million people in the army!

And this big market was basically eaten up by the Weimar Republic. After all, they were the only ones in Europe with such strong industrial strength!

In January 1922, a large number of fire orders had been sent to major military factories in Hans.

The Allies not only purchased a large number of rifles that were eliminated during World War I, but also purchased a large number of Maxim MG-08 machine guns from the German army!

This kind of heavy machine gun performed extremely well in World War I. During the Battle of the Somme, 240 Maxim heavy machine guns fired together, causing tens of thousands of casualties to the Allied forces!

This battle showed the world the power of heavy machine guns, and also reminded the Allies, especially the Sun Never Sets and Gaul, of this terrible weapon of the German army.

Originally, in the Treaty of Versailles, the Allies had stipulated that the German army would not continue to produce heavy machine guns. However, at this time, for their own combat needs, the Allies actually broke this rule and purchased such weapons from the Weimar Republic.

This time, even if the caliber of this weapon is different from the Allied Powers' own bullet caliber, they do not plan to hand this weapon to the White Army or the Pineland Army. They plan to use it themselves!

After the Allied orders were submitted, President Hindenburg sent a telegram to Mainz asking for his opinion.

Of course Mainz would not object. Since the defeat in World War I, the major military factories in the country have almost closed down due to lack of orders from the military. At this time, being able to receive orders to help them get out of trouble is such a good thing. Of course Mainz will not refuse!

Moreover, the Allies themselves broke the treaty and ordered heavy machine guns from Hans, so the German army secretly purchased some of them. Isn't this too much?

However, although Mainz agreed to this arms purchase order, he made a request.

He required that these contracts must be completed by the German army, and that all products should be purchased by the German army, and then the tasks should be assigned to various military factories. The German army also guaranteed the delivery of these products without the need for personnel from the Allied countries.

As far as the Allied Powers are concerned, having someone help them with armed escorts without requiring them to pay, and also help them solve a lot of trivial matters such as handover and procurement, is certainly what they want!

So they readily accepted this seemingly odd request!

Seeing that the Allies accepted this request, Mainz breathed a sigh of relief!

There are many military factories in Hans. If such orders are left to the Allied Powers themselves, I am afraid they will be unevenly distributed. Some military factories will get large orders and have a lot of food, while other military factories may have nothing. No harvest, and eventually starved to death!

The reason why Mainz wanted to personally take over this order was that on the one hand, it hoped to adjust it through the hands of the military, so that all military factories could be equally affected by the rain and dew, and help them overcome the current difficulties.

On the other hand, it is also to prevent the Junkers from intervening in this cooperation. He does not want the Junkers to continue to attach themselves to the army and suck blood. This order is obviously very profitable, and Mainz does not want to see the Junkers gain from it. The benefit, that will only nourish the Junker nobles, making them stronger and more difficult to control!

Once this contract is controlled by the military, the right to speak will completely fall into the hands of Mainz, and he will have the final say on how the benefits will be distributed!

Of course, Mainz has another purpose.

"Manstein, Rommel, Guderian, Kesselring, and Model, you five are responsible for escorting the first batch of equipment. Remember, these 200,000 rifles and 15 million rounds of ammunition must be delivered safely!"

Mainz said solemnly to the four of them.

This order made the four of them feel puzzled. Isn't it just to escort a batch of arms?

As for sending three division commanders, a staff officer and a regiment commander to execute it?

This would be too fussy. Already?

"Remember, after you go there, stay there and look for opportunities to observe this battle and see how they fight it!"

Sure enough, after talking about the superficial mission, Mainz revealed their true purpose.

They were going to steal the master!_Please download the novel without underlining
