I don't think pens are standard equipment. First of all, pens are rarely needed in the army, only middle and senior officers need them, and junior officers and ordinary soldiers don't need pens and things like that. Secondly, government procurement of stationery generally depends on which supplier offers the lowest price and who uses the lowest price. Whether it's Parker or hero, it doesn't matter which one is used as long as the quality is good and the price is low. Government departments also have the right to purchase independently, and the central government will not care about such a trivial matter at all. In line with the principle of tax saving, office pens are generally not distributed, because pens are generally more expensive than ballpoint pens, and now gel pens are also very good. Free pens in many government departments in China are gel pens. The pens used by the heads of government to sign are generally bought out of their own pockets, and there is as much money as there is. But traditionally, we usually use domestic products. In order to enhance the prestige of our country, we use heroes. Maybe the Germans use Montblanc.
