Chapter 62: military motorcycle

  The sales of the two motorcycles produced by Daimler can no longer be described as hot. The second batch of 20,000 motorcycles also sold out within a day. The German people love these two motorcycles very much. Especially young people are proud to own these two motorcycles.

   This also made Daimler's stores in various places always line up long after the sale date, and many people even started queuing up the night before in order to be able to buy it. Even if Daimler puts 40,000 motorcycles on the market every month, it took three months to ease the situation. But even so, Daimler's motorcycle sales are very good.

  Other motor vehicle manufacturers have also begun to enter this field. However, Daimler took the lead in registering a lot of shape patents, so that other companies can only redesign, which not only wastes a lot of time, but also produces products that cannot satisfy consumers. compete with Daimler.

  Other countries in Europe have also set off a wave of buying by these two motorcycles. It's just that Daimler can't even meet Germany's domestic needs, let alone open up foreign markets. In order to ensure the impact on foreign markets, Qin Tian decided to allocate 5,000 vehicles from the monthly production to the markets of Britain, France and the United States. There is no doubt that the two motorcycles of Daimler have also achieved great success in these countries. However, the number is too small. For everyone's strong demand, thousands of motorcycles are like a drop in the bucket.

  Under such circumstances, Daimler had to further increase production, hoping to meet market demand as soon as possible. Of course, it is also to seize more markets as soon as possible. The most popular products in the market are the ones that are most likely to follow suit. Even if the imitation products are not as good as the original products, it is still a big attraction for those who have been unable to buy them for a long time.

   And Qin Tian's attention has long been absent from Daimler's civilian motorcycles. When civilian motorcycle sales were booming, Daimler's research and development department developed a military heavy motorcycle according to Qin Tian's request. There are a total of two rounds and three rounds. The first batch of ten of these two military motorcycles arrived in Berlin at the end of August.

   On September 2, Qin Tian was in a military camp outside Berlin. Qin Tian invited the main military leaders to watch the performance of these two heavy military motorcycles. He hopes to take this opportunity to get orders from the military. Of course, I also hope that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be further improved as a result.

Chief of the General Staff Moltke, Minister of War von Falkenhain, Minister of the Navy Marshal Count Tirpitz, Deputy Chief of the General Staff General Waldsee, Army Generals Kluck, Bilow, General Howson and Ma General Witts attended this event.

  With Qin Tian's great success in business, he already has a very high social status. Coupled with his support for army building, he is also very respected in the military. Of course, this is primarily a naval aspect. Since the army has almost never received Qin Tian's support, his support in the army is relatively weak. Some army generals even complained because of this, thinking that Qin Tian, ​​like William II, valued the navy and despised the army. But this didn't stop them from looking forward to Qin Tian. If Qin Tian can support the army as much as he supports the navy, then the army can also get a lot of benefits. It is precisely because of this that everyone is so respectful of Qin Tian's invitation.

   It can be said that in many places, Qin Tian's influence has even surpassed that of Crown Prince William. If it weren't for the glamorous coat of the Crown Prince, Crown Prince William would have no way to compare with Qin Tian.

   "Thank you very much for coming to watch our motorcycle show this time, and hope that our products can satisfy you." Qin Tian smiled.

"His Royal Highness, the motorcycles launched by your Daimler company have set off a frenzy of buying all over the country and even the whole of Europe. I have to admit that those two motorcycles are classics. My son and daughter, both They each bought one. If I were twenty years younger, I would be like those boys and spend all my money to snap up one." War Minister von Falkenhain said with a smile.

   "Your Excellency has praised you. It is our honor to satisfy Your Excellency." Qin Tian replied with a smile.

   "His Royal Highness, please start, we have other affairs, it is impossible to waste too much time here." Xiao Maoqi urged.

   "I'm sorry, Chief of the General Staff, the performance will start soon." Qin Tian could tell that Maoqi was a little impatient. It can be said that among these people, Xiao Maoqi's attitude towards Qin Tian is relatively indifferent. However, Qin Tian can also understand, he knows that Little Mao Qi and Crown Prince William rarely have a close relationship, and he can be called a die-hard supporter of Crown Prince William. When Crown Prince William was hostile to Qin Tian, ​​Xiao Maoqi naturally wouldn't have a good look towards Qin Tian.

   Soon, the performance began. First up were ten two-wheeled motorcycles. Twenty heavily armed soldiers drove on the playground on these ten motorcycles. Even with a load of more than two hundred kilograms, these motorcycles still perform very well.

"Generals, the maximum speed of these motorcycles on the road can reach 90 kilometers per hour. They can also drive on dirt roads, but the speed will be affected to a certain extent. Even on grasslands without roads, they can continue This makes it have limited off-road capabilities. If our army is equipped with such motorcycles, the marching speed will be greatly improved." Qin Tian introduced to everyone.

   "Your Highness, when the troops are fighting, there will be no roads on the battlefield, and the terrain is not flat at all. Therefore, it is difficult to apply such a motorcycle to the battlefield." Mo Qi shook his head.

   "Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, when our troops advance, they often advance along roads. Using motorcycles can greatly increase the speed of advance." Qin Tian explained.

   "In my opinion, this point is not very useful. It is impossible for our troops to advance hundreds of kilometers a day on the battlefield." Little Maoqi shook his head.

   "Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, I think our reconnaissance troops can be equipped with such military motorcycles, which will allow them to detect the enemy's situation faster and report to their superiors." Von Falkenhain interjected.
