Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Shipbuilding Technology

Seeing Arthur's persistence, William II didn't say anything, but just nodded: "I will discuss the matter of the Gew98 with Mauser Company, but what kind of price they will sell to you depends on your negotiating skills."

Naturally, Arthur wouldn't refuse such a condition. As the standard weapon of the German Army, the fact that the Gew98 production line was to be sold to Australia was a great show of support.

As for the funds needed to purchase the Gew98, Arthur did not consider it a significant expense. After all, the Gew98, once improved, would be one of the world's most powerful rifles for the next 40-50 years.

Born in the traditional German military industry, Arthur was also not worried about the sales of the Gew98.

Whether it was the Germanic Allies in World War I or other countries that were infatuated with German weapons, they would all welcome the export of this rifle.
