Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

The Japanese visit did surprise Alfonso XII, but it also made sense.

During the Meiji Restoration in the 19th century, Japan could be said to be the only country in Asia that could do it.

Politically study the Western constitutional monarchy, and then carry out a series of modernization reforms through comprehensive study of the West, and finally make Japan among the great powers.

The Japanese in this period have not yet embarked on the road of ****, and the purpose of the Meiji Restoration is only to enrich the country and strengthen the army\

,"However, the limitations of a small country and lack of resources made them desperate to go to war with their big suzerain.

Since then, there has been a path of no return.

Alfonso will not personally receive the Japanese visit this time. Now the Japanese are not strong enough to be received by Alfonso, right?

The one in charge of receiving the Three Heroes of Restoration was Prime Minister Canovas, who had received a special order from His Majesty the King before receiving it.

Canovas had no particular views, Europeans of this period viewed all people of color with a prejudice.

In this regard, His Majesty's request that military cooperation was not accepted and that the price of weapons should be purchased at 30 times the cost was reasonable in Canovas' view.

Your Excellency, we are shocked by the strength of your country's army, and we hope to reach military cooperation with your country.

Toshinori Okubo got straight to the point, and the Spanish Army he learned from the newspaper had already made him envious.

Translate dutifully transmitted messages.

Thank you for your praise, but our country does not plan to cooperate with foreign countries in military affairs for the time being. Our policy is to only sell weapons and ammunition.

Canovas said that he remembered His Majesty's order.

Lord Prime Minister, don't draw conclusions yet, our country has great sincerity in learning your country's powerful military system, and we can release...

Toshinori Okubo disagreed, thinking it was normal diplomatic talk, which is normal in all countries.

The sincerity of your country is indeed shocking, but regarding military cooperation, it is an order issued by His Majesty Alfonso XII of our country in person. This is not something I can decide.

Canovas waved his hand directly, indicating that he did not want to continue the conversation on this, and then said:

But our army weapons are all approved for sale, and His Majesty the King has personally approved an affordable price for your country.

Toshinori Okubo didn't bother too much about military cooperation, and asked, Are rifles, machine guns, and artillery items that can be sold?

Yes, my country's foreign military sales plan is not conservative. As long as you pay the starting price, we can sell you anything.

Canovas said nonchalantly, according to his understanding, His Majesty has invested a lot in weapons research, and it is said that there are many new results.

Can the Prime Minister show me your country's weapons?

Okubo Toshinori asked.

Of course there is no problem. Your Excellency, please come with me. I will take you to our military training ground.

Although Canovas also has the inherent prejudice of white people, he is still polite on the surface.

Canovas invited the three of Okubo Toshinori to take his carriage to the experimental base. The Prime Minister's Office is about an hour away from the experimental base.

Look, this is the latest Vieri 1875 rifle in our country,

His effective range can reach up to 800 meters. He uses smokeless powder that only we have in the world. It can load 5 bullets at a time. It is the most advanced rifle in the world today.

You can try him.

Canovas picked up a Vieri rifle and handed it to Okubo Toshinori, but Takamori Saigo next to him took the rifle one step earlier.

Let me try it! Saigo Takashi, who was in the martial arts aggression competition, said excitedly.

The guards at the experimental base briefly explained,

Saigo Takamori picked up the gun and started aiming at the target in front of him.

bang bang bang

After a short aiming, Saigo Takamori fired three times in a row, but no smoke came out of the muzzle.

Dead Dog One

Saigo Takamori fondly touched the Vieri rifle in his hand, as if stroking his old lover.

The performance of this rifle is too good, at least 3 times better than the rifles equipped by our Japanese army.

Saigo Takamori said to Okubo Toshinori in Japanese, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed.

Beginning in 1870, Japan began to purchase thermal weapons such as rifles from France in large quantities.

The French Xia Saibo rifle, single-shot rear-loading, uses paper-packed bullets, not to mention the Spanish Vielli rifle, even the German Dreiser rifle.

Lord Prime Minister, what is the external price of this rifle?

Okubo Toshinori frowned and looked at Takamori Saigo, as if blaming him for his gaffe.

Sir, this Vieri 1875 rifle is active equipment in our country, and it sells for 1,200 pesos.

Canovas said, in fact, the cost of a Vieri rifle is only 40 pesos, monopolizing arms profits!

What? I heard right, a rifle costs 1,200 pesos? This price is beyond our country's means.

Okubo Litong's eyes are about to pop out. This price is unbelievable for poor Japan.

The price is naturally reasonable, but considering that it is the first time our country has cooperated with your country, our country can give you 30 rounds of ammunition for free.

Canovas said with a blushing face, the price of the 1200 game tower, if you buy 100,000, it is 120 million pesos,

In addition to the purchase of bullets in the later period, not to mention too much, one bullet is based on 0.5 game towers, which means that the initial consumption of light rifles is already nearly 200 million game towers.

Let's discuss this. Can you show us your country's machine guns and artillery?

Okubo Toshinori sighed and then asked.

This is the Mark Qin 1875 machine gun currently in service in the Chinese Army. His theoretical rate of fire is as high as 500 rounds per minute...

Canovas pointed to the machine gun that had been set up and slowly introduced that the two machine gunners were ready.

Guys, try our machine guns and show them to the guests from Japan.

After speaking, he gestured to the three of Okubo Toshitsu, covering his ears.

What is this foreign devil doing? Xixiang Longsheng asked.

Before the interpreter could answer, the machine gunner had already started a frenzy.

Da da da………

The Maxim machine gun roared in an instant, and the bullets in a line and the deafening shocking sound of a metal storm resounded through the sky.

The Three Heroes of Restoration stared at the roaring machine gun in a stunned manner, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Canovas looked at the three country bumpkins, turned his back and smiled contemptuously, and did not signal the machine gunner to stop.

A few seconds later, a hundred rounds of bullets from a clip were exhausted.

Canovas turned to look at the three, he knew it was about to start...
