On July 4, 1903, several transport ships loaded with weapons and equipment set out from Sydney Harbour, Australia, heading directly to the Island Nation.
What was loaded here was part of the contents of the Island-Australia Treaty, including 20,000 Gew98 rifles, 100 German Maxim machine guns, 15 105mm Krupp howitzers, and millions of bullets and tens of thousands of shells.
Of course, a large number of bullets and shells are still being manufactured. Given Australia's current military-industrial strength, producing so many weapons and equipment is already considered overtime work.
Within half a month, this batch of weapons and equipment was successfully delivered to the harbor of the Island Nation, and Arthur also successfully received the final payment from the Island Nation.
The total amount of the arms trade order reached nearly two million pounds, with the price of the battleship alone exceeding one million pounds.
