Valley Emperor

In order to meet the needs of many customers around the world, Datang's various thermal weapons are also quite rich.

Hot weapons include arquebuses and flintlock guns. The caliber is 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, or even 20mm. In short, you can have whatever caliber you want.

And there are all kinds of backward and advanced models. There are several series of arquebuses alone, and there are also many series of flintlock guns.

There are cast iron barrels, steel barrels, and even flintlock pistols fired by flash caps. Although this steel barrel is a little bit worse, it cannot be converted into a Mini rifle, but it is also stronger than an iron barrel. many.

The same flintlock guns sold by Datang can be divided into at least a dozen types according to their performance, and the prices are also from high to low.

For example, Datang launched a flintlock gun for foreign high-end customers only two years ago.

At the same time, it also restricts the supply. Only some indigenous countries that have a good relationship with Datang and fully turn to Datang can buy in small batches.

The same is true for the export of artillery. The export artillery launched by Datang has a caliber from 50 mm to 150 mm. As for the larger caliber, it will not be sold. The smoothbore gun with too large a caliber is also easy to attack. Tang itself poses a certain threat, so Datang never sells large-caliber artillery, even if it is just a smoothbore gun, and if the cannon exceeds 115 mm, it will not sell it, and only short barrels if it exceeds 115 mm. Howitzers, the kind with a range of less than a thousand meters!

Over the years, the best thing to buy is naturally a series of iron cast front-loading smoothbore guns, which are the mainstays of the Tang arms dealers.

This cast iron smoothbore gun has a caliber from 50mm to 150mm, and there are various barrel lengths.

For example, the main field guns assigned to division-level troops include 80mm, 100mm, and 115mm, as well as 60mm and 50mm shotguns for battalion troops. There are also 130mm and 150mm short-barreled howitzers.

This series of cast iron artillery is cheap, such as the 80mm cast iron front-loading smoothbore gun, and an ammunition vehicle including the gun barrel and gun mount, only costs a mere four hundred Tang Yuan, and this effective range can reach five For a distance of more than 100 meters, it can also be matched with a grenade with a disc wooden fuse.

Its barrel life is also quite good, reaching 800 rounds, which is much stronger than the bronze cannons made by many indigenous countries, and it is slightly worse than the bronze cannons made by a few indigenous countries.

If the life of the cast iron gun barrel is low and the range is relatively short, the arms dealers of Datang will solemnly recommend the best products that Datang has sold in the past ten years to the indigenous people: brand new products made with many high-precision smelting and processing technologies A first-generation bronze smoothbore gun.

It is also available in various calibers and is sold with grenades.

The most important thing is that this new generation of bronze smoothbore guns has a higher effective range and longer barrel life. Taking the new generation of bronze smoothbore guns with a caliber of 115 mm as an example, even if it fires grenades, its effective range It can also reach more than 1,000 meters. If a solid bullet is fired with a strong charge, the effective range can reach more than 1,400 meters.

Arms dealers directly claim that this new generation of new artillery is a lot stronger than the smoothbore guns previously equipped by the Datang Army!

This is really a fact. In the past few decades, the Datang Army has never been equipped with such a powerful smoothbore gun!

The last smoothbore field gun of the Tang Dynasty attached to the division-level artillery unit, with a caliber of 115 mm, has an effective range of only about 1,200 meters when firing solid shells.

After this smoothbore field gun, Datang directly entered a transition period of several years of front-loaded rifled guns, and the effective range of that thing directly exceeded two kilometers.

And after a few years of transitioning with front-loading rifled steel guns, the Datang Army has fully entered the era of rear-loading rifled steel guns. Today, the main artillery of the division-level troops of the Datang Army is 75mm caliber rear-loading rifled steel. The gun has an effective range of more than 4,500 meters.

The 100mm caliber main cannon attached to the army-level independent artillery regiment has an effective range of 5,000 meters.

The 120mm heavy cannon equipped by the Army's heavy artillery unit or the fortress garrison artillery unit is even more exaggerated, and the effective range can reach 6,500 meters.

The Datang Army entered the rifled era prematurely, which also led to the rifled smoothbore guns later produced by those arsenals, which could only be used for export.

This new generation of bronze smoothbore guns exported by Datang has an effective range of 1,400 meters of live ammunition, which is enough to sweep all the artillery made by the indigenous people into the historical garbage.

What, you said that the price of this artillery is too expensive. A 115mm artillery can't be bought for more than a few thousand Tang Yuan, and it can't be bought or used.

This is whether you understand high-end products, this is a product specifically for high-end customers.

If you don't have money, ask a fart!

What's more interesting is that even if you are really rich, you can't buy it. For example, a large number of princes in India, many of them are not bad, but they can't buy these latest artillery and fire hats. Guns~www.wuxiaspot.com~ No matter how much money they give, they can only purchase arquebuses and early smoothbore guns.

Because the three major arms companies believe that the Indian market still has potential to be tapped, at least they can be replaced more than five times, and it is absolutely impossible to supply these most advanced export products to the Indian market if they are not allowed to update more than five times. .

In addition to market issues, we must also consider local regional relations, the relationship between the indigenous country and the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, at present, only a few countries have been approved to purchase these two new types of weapons, such as the Kingdom of Siam, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Sweden in the Twelve Southeast Asian Nations.

The Siam Kingdom in the Twelve Nanyang Kingdoms, their territory is tragic after all. When assigning places before, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty were considered a mistake, and they were surrounded by several other kingdoms that migrated from the South Ocean. In Africa When they were sad, they naturally hugged Datang's thighs.

When their king gave the emperor Li Xuan a book, he already used the word "official" and called "Dad" to the Tang Dynasty every day. People in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were embarrassed to refuse them to purchase these new export weapons. request.

In addition, they do have to give them some advanced equipment to maintain the strategic balance in the central region of Africa, so these advanced equipment were exported to them in batches.

There is also Spain, which is supported by the Tang Dynasty in Europe and has the main force to resist the Tatars. The 300,000 Spanish army is the mainstay of the European coalition.

In addition, the empire also had the intention to support Philip II, so it exported a batch of advanced equipment to him, possessing the equipment king division.
