Shire didn't want to turn down this deal. Over 100 tanks, selling the soon-to-be phased out "Shire A1" by the French Army, Shire had no reason to refuse.
But military production business is different.
If sold to Italy and they suffer a significant defeat afterward, it would affect the reputation and sales of the "Shire A1," potentially implicating the entire Bernard Group.
Therefore.
From both an ally and a business standpoint, Shire should provide Italy with equipment that is truly suitable and helps them turn the tide.
Cadorna's face was full of confusion: "So, Vice Admiral, what equipment do you think is suitable for us?"
Shire didn't answer but instead asked several questions, like a doctor diagnosing a patient's condition.
"What is the situation with your artillery?"
"The artillery has basically been destroyed and was largely abandoned on the front line and not brought back." Cadorna said with embarrassment.
