FN company indeed has the idea of improving the "Shao Sha" to compete with the "Saint-Etienne 2" machine gun.
Because Bo Yata pondered deeply, he believed that in the future, the only conflict Shire might have with FN company would be over light machine guns.
In terms of rifles, Belgium has always been equipped with the German "Mauser", while the rifles produced by Shire's arsenal are "Lebel".
There is no conflict between the two, especially since "Mauser" is superior to "Lebel", making it unlikely for the Belgian Army to switch.
Handguns are Browning, which is also more advanced than the French revolver.
These two aspects need not worry about being replaced by Shire's arsenal, at least for now.
However, other weapons such as machine guns, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., could all be controlled by Shire, and even if one tried extremely hard, one might not be able to break in!
No, it cannot be this way!
