What Arthur didn't expect was that not long after the arms trade with the Philippines began, the Australasian military factories welcomed new clients.
These clients came from East Asia and were not far from the Island Nation. Their purpose was simple: to purchase Australasian armaments and the corresponding production technology.
East Asia is an immense market with substantial cooperation in grain, meat, and even armaments with Australasia.
Moreover, the arms trade was beneficial for Australasia, and naturally, Arthur couldn't possibly decline this unsolicited order.
In the end, the clients signed a contract with Australasia for 300,000 Rifles, one billion bullets, 200 Heavy Machine Guns, 150 M1897 75mm cannons, 120 CA-1 37mm Machine Guns, and 15 Krupp 105mm Howitzers, coupled with the corresponding machine gun bullets and shells.
