The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 268: Chapter 242: Expansion of Assets_3

This sce actually appeared in the historical World War II, where the Polish cavalry performed well in World War I, causing the Polish people to have great faith in their cavalry.

Only wh their cavalry faced the Germans' tanks, did they realize how fragile life was in the face of technology.

Previously, the military factory had expanded considerably due to the two wars and had officially tered a profitable state.

At prest, Australasia has gained some reputation in East Asia and South Asia, and weapons produced by Australasia have gradually be exported to these regions.

Of course, the bulk of weapon sales each year are still to Russia and Australasia.

Russia's Far East army purely due to its logistical transport problems, coupled with the fact that Australasia's German-made weapons are indeed good quality, and there is no need to have any involvemt with Russia, so the arms trade with Russia has never be cut off.

While Australasia does not need too many weapons domestically, the consumption of various ammunition and shells is impressive.

In addition to the army expansion this time, these orders are ough for the armamt factory to produce for a while.

The military factory and the shipyard, which had previously devoured a lot of money, have now become huge profits.

The profitability of the shipyard is no secret, with just the orders from Russia netting the shipyard nearly one million pounds, and Australasia's own orders also expanding the scale of the shipyard and never stopping construction of the various facilities.

Of course, among Arthur's assets, the most profitable is still Bz Automobile.

Although Arthur hadn't cared about the car factory's income for a long time, the car factory's monthly income was still being transferred to the Royal Bank on time and reviewed by Butler Kt.

Not knowing is not a problem, but once Arthur found out, he was guinely tak aback.

Currtly, Arthur's personal assets are over 300 million pounds, with £0 million loaned to the governmt and half of the remaining being real estate, but over £0 million in available funds can still be easily obtained.

Plus, the Royal Financial Group contributes nearly £7,000,000 to Arthur's after-tax income annually, a frighting rate of making money, ev more than the Australasian governmt.

Arthur's assets contribute £3,000,000 in annual tax revue to the Australasian governmt, and with various economic growth, Australasia's fiscal revue this year is ev expected to break 30 million Australian dollars.

After field tests, the improved MA-7 Maxim heavy machine gun does indeed perform better in terms of stability and cooling effect compared to the previous MA-96 Maxim machine gun.

In addition, the new machine gun has a lighter weight, making it ev more suitable for equipping troops.

Therefore, under Arthur's witness, the military and military factory signed an order, trying to replace all heavy machine guns in the army with new ones within two years.

As for the old Maxim heavy machine guns that were replaced, they can be sold to other countries and regions at a lower price.

After all, although the MA-96 Maxim machine gun is considered outdated for Australasia, in the eyes of some Asian countries, it is still a powerful, unprecedted heavy weapon that is worth purchasing and equipping for their national military.

Australasian-made weapons have quality assurance, and Arthur doesn't have to worry about a lack of buyers.

At least within Asia's scope, besides Russia, there are still three or four countries interested in Australasian weapons.

Especially the Qing Empire, which after the last exchange of studying with Australasia, has become one of the countries seeking to purchase Australasian weapons.

Despite being a rather backward country, they never lacked money wh it came to a pinch.

Additions to other small and medium-sized countries in East Asia and South Asia, Arthur believes that the replaced heavy machine guns will be sold quickly.

Fortunately, the improvemt of the machine gun was timely, allowing it to be equipped before the formal expansion of the army. Otherwise, if the replacemt were to take place after the military was fully equipped, it would have to replace hundreds of additional heavy machine guns - a considerable loss.
