BUILDING AN ARMY (Kebir Blue)

I am trying to build my defense index and expand my empire I NEED TO BUY HEAVY JEEPS AND HEAVY TANKS but there is a shortage. Does anyone know how to figure out HOW to find out who manufactures these so I can DIRECT TRADE?

Buy off the world market. This way, you can choose the desired quality on the order sheet (the maximum effective quality is currently 160 soon to be 180) and don't wind up overpaying. Also, pick better weapons. Heavy Tanks and Heavy Jeeps are terrible. I've found Mid Range Missile Batteries and Offensive Anti Aircraft Missile Batteries to be a good combination as illustrated in my guide of taking C3s[source]. It's a slight bit outdated with the introduction of war levels, but I've found it gets the job done against the first C3s. Later on, useful weapons will include mostly Precision Bombers, Fighter Planes, Navy Fighter Planes, Land Based Cruise Batteries, and a few more.

EDIT:
Are you sure you don't want to join the ManiFISTo?

Ive taken your advice on the first chapters of your doctrine, so far it has worked out well. Ill read into the source you dropped. What is the ManiFISTo?

I read the manual is it possible to buy weapons directly from you?

1. You can buy the weapons directly off the world market. This is easier because of the stated reason of getting near-exact quality, but also, it is easier because you do not need to rely on other players to buy from. There is basically no reason to buy weapons (aside from strategic/nuclear weapons since these cannot be bought off the world market) from other players since they cannot give you discounts or anything like that. Additionally, any weapons I sold you I would simply be buying off the world market . . . so why not cut out the middleman?
2. The Scarlet ManiFISTo is the strong arm of my developing mission to conquer Draca Mixor.
3. You are currently a resident of Draca Mixor. I have claimed the continent as my domain. I believe I sent you a message to this effect asking you to leave, join the Scarlet ManiFISTo, or hide behind the various protections offered by the game. Obviously, I think it would be much more beneficial for you to j

Scarlet, I've got a question. Why did you conquer a C3 NOT on Draca Minor? I see that there are 3 C3s on DM already, a few slaves by Akasha and Jiang Warrior, and the almost all the rest in secured.

At the time, there were no available C3s on Draca Mixor. I've conquered the two C3s that have opened up since then and am pleased to announce that I am officially War Level 2. Additionally, the C3 I conquered on Paova Major is within 3000 km of Draca Mixor and may prove useful as an airlift depot.

- Good Afternoon

Hello, I am taking another country on Draca Mixor. As you can see, I have already conquered a country on another continent. The method I am using is straightforward: I am dropping an Airport Construction Unit (default ammo/supplies) into the country I am attacking (because I do not share a border with it. In 12 hours, it will create an airport. I have a Division with 1000 OAAMB (25K ammo) and 2145 MRMB (200K ammo) waiting. Once the airport is created, I will have Air Transport Units (not deployed in military units just yet) ready to airlift the division into the enemy country. From there, I will pick target as County and 'attack defenses' using maximum (1000) of both weapons in the attacks until Helicopters stop responding. After that, I will move my unit around the map to get
