Chapter 579 (2/2)
Stone bear's words let Kuaima tightly clench their fists, and they realized how high and long their boss's vision was.
”Well, let's not talk about that.” Shi Xiong waved his hand and said, ”after going back to Beijing, I will hold a special military meeting to explain this. You are ready now. Well, let's go on to the sale of arms. ”
”Chief, besides the Mississippi rifle, is the grenade on the list of arms for sale?” Asked the Bighorn.
However, compared with the worry just now, the bighorn sheep has no worries at all. Even the barrel throwing can't make him worry any more.
”Yes, the catapult is on the list. After all, this kind of weapon has been circulating for a long time. Even if we don't sell it, the Americans and the British have a lot of grenades in their hands. Therefore, there is no need for us to keep this thing. ” Stone bear recognized this problem of bighorn sheep.
One side of the horse said with a smile: ”commander, what our boss wants to sell is ammunition, not a cartridge
The stone bear smiles and orders the horse.
Kuaima is right. Compared with weapons such as catapults, stone bears prefer to sell ammunition.
A rifle or a door can be used for a long time, but ammunition is a real consumable.
Whether it's a bullet or a grenade used by a catapult, even in a low intensity battle, it will consume a lot of ammunition. If there are several large-scale battles with high intensity, the ammunition consumed will be an astonishing number.
So ammunition is the big money maker.
And ammunition is harder to copy than rifles and grenades.
In terms of the current technology of European powers, it is not difficult to imitate explosive bear rifles or grenades, but they will be blinded by ammunition.
Let alone smokeless powder. Now the European powers have not come up with the perfect formula of black powder that has been used for hundreds of years, so Shi Xiong is not worried that the formula of smokeless powder will be imitated by the European powers.
Guns can be imitated, but the formula of gunpowder can't be imitated.
Whether it's xiaohuazha or smokeless powder, even the function of bitter but not sour is discovered by accident. Therefore, without those coincidences, these advanced powder can't be discovered.
