Chapter 193: The Arms Deal
So I saw Hua Xianyu ask with interest: "General Li is saying that he is willing to sell the firearms equipped by your army?" ”
"Yes, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be discussed." Li Yun nodded and replied.
Li Yun did not deceive Hua Xianyu, he was willing to sell all the active equipment of the Vermilion Bird Army as long as the price was right.
This was because Li Yun wanted to support the Red Lotus Sect in order to share the pressure on himself. In addition, the great success of the Suzaku armament has attracted the attention of many forces, and other forces must attach importance to the development of firearms.
It is conceivable that because of the rise of the Suzaku Army, the development of firearms will be greatly accelerated.
And the current firearms as a whole are still very simple, with the background of the Qianyuan Empire and the Red Lotus Sect, it is easy to discover the mystery of the Vermilion Bird firearms. However, Li Yun is not worried, because it is one thing to discover the mystery of firearms, but it is another thing to successfully imitate them.
In fact, the structure of firearms and bullets is very simple, but the difficult thing is the process and mechanical equipment for mass production, as well as the process formula of excitation charge and explosives.
Some top craftsmen may be able to imitate rifles and bullets by hand through their exquisite experience and skills, but it is difficult to imitate them on a large scale.
And these tangible things are easy to imitate, but those intangible things are very difficult to imitate.
For example, initiating charges and explosives, without a certain knowledge of chemical theory, it is impossible to understand their principles, let alone manufacture. Without excitation charges and explosives, there would be no way to talk about modern firearms.
So although because of the rise of the Suzaku Army, the development of firearms accelerated. However, there is a lack of theoretical foundation, and those forces still have a long way to go if they want to make the same firearms as the Suzaku Army.
Therefore, Li Yun is not afraid of imitation by the other side, and by selling firearms, he can not only obtain important war resources, but also spread his influence through firearms.
Imagine that those forces, when their own imitation is fruitless, will naturally think of obtaining advanced firearms from the Suzaku Army. So as long as the Suzaku Army is willing to sell, then they will definitely not let the Suzaku Army be wiped out easily.
In this way, it not only contained the power of the Qianyuan Empire, but also dispersed the pressure on the Suzaku Army. Because wherever the firearms of the Suzaku Army are sold, the energy of the Qianyuan Empire will be dispersed, and the military strength in that area will not dare to be arbitrarily transferred.
At the same time, those who dare to buy firearms from the Suzaku Army are also the people who are separated from the Qianyuan Imperial Family, and their purchase of firearms will make the contradictions in the empire explode faster and more intense, so these people can also be regarded as potential allies of the Suzaku Army.
Therefore, Li Yun is not afraid that others will worry about his firearms, but he is afraid that there will not be enough people who are worried about him, so as long as they dare to buy Li Yun, they will dare to sell it!
"Then I don't know how much your army's firearms sell?" For the firearms of the Suzaku Army, Hua Xianyu is very excited.
Li Yun laughed when he heard this, and then whispered a few times in Concubine Ling Yue's ear. After a while, Concubine Ling Yue took some samples and came over with a list of sales.
Pointing to those samples, Li Yunyan said: "These are the samples of firearms equipped by my Suzaku Army, except for the machine guns and artillery that are too big to take, the rest are here." ”
Then he handed Hua Xianyu a list and said, "This is the list of all firearms for sale, and the prices are marked on it." If the Red Lotus Sect is interested, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand without credit! ”
"However, due to safety reasons, we do not provide delivery services at this time, and all firearms must be shipped by yourself!" Finally, Li Yun added.
After taking the list, Hua Xianyu looked at it, and this time Hua Xianyu gasped, because the price marked on it was too expensive.
A rifle is five hundred taels of silver, a pistol is one hundred taels, and the bullets are one hundred taels per thousand rounds. The artillery was 80,000 taels of silver and 30,000 taels of machine guns.
"General Li, are you kidding? Such a price is outrageous, isn't it? Putting down the list in his hand, Hua Xianyu's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and the Vermilion Bird Army was clearly slaughtering the Red Lotus Sect as a pig.
Seeing that Hua Xianyu was dissatisfied with Li Yun's lack of answer, and picked up a rifle to skillfully load, aim, and shoot!
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
With the sound of three gunshots, the rockery in the distance was hit with rubble flying, and Hua Xianyu was also attracted by this amazing power.
Then Li Yun looked at Hua Xianyu and said, "Does Her Highness the Holy Maiden know how much money and resources a martial arts master has to spend if he has achieved cultivation?" Money and resources are only a small matter, really expensive time! ”
"Smack!"
Saying that, Li Yun fired another shot, "But now for only three hundred taels of silver, an ordinary person can easily kill a martial arts master immediately!" ”
After taking a deep breath, Li Yun continued: "And the Qianyuan Empire's eight hundred years of rule has been rock-solid because there are eight legions composed of martial arts masters. Relying on these powerful legions, the Qianyuan Empire was able to subdue Kyushu in the four seas! The Red Lotus Sect has been operating for hundreds of years but has never achieved anything, and it is precisely because of this. ”
Hearing Li Yun's words, Hua Xianyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Seeing that Hua Xianyu's heart was moved, Li Yun continued: "The rise of my Vermilion Bird Army is still short, and its background is far inferior to that of the Red Lotus Sect. However, with these sophisticated firearms, he was able to do what the Red Lotus Sect had not been able to do for hundreds of years. That is, with these firearms, a powerful army that can defeat the Tiger Army head-on in a field battle and annihilate most of it! ”
Li Yun's high-pitched tone completely suppressed Hua Xianyu and the others, and then he asked: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, how much do you think an army that can defeat the Eight Great Legions is worth!" How much does it cost you Red Lotus Sect to form such an army! So do you still think it's expensive? ”
For Li Yun's question, Hua Xianyu actually has the answer in her heart, but such a big thing is not something she can decide.
So I saw Hua Xianyu smile slightly: "Very wonderful speech, I have to say General Li, your wonderful speech really moved me." However, I will have to consult the Sect Master before I can make a decision, so please forgive me. ”
"This is natural, but Her Highness the Holy Maiden had better hurry, because our army's production is limited, and I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the needs of too many customers." Li Yun put on a very understanding look.
"Why is there anyone else who wants to buy firearms?" From Li Yun's words, Hua Xianyu heard a hint of a different taste.
"Hehe......"
Li Yun smiled and said, "I can't reveal the customer's secret casually, but as long as I'm not blind, anyone can see the powerful power of my Vermilion Bird Firearms, isn't it!" ”
Hua Xianyu couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she heard this, because the scene of the Vermilion Bird Army vs. the Tiger Demon Army did give her a great shock!
In this meeting, Hua Xianyu didn't get what she wanted, but it wasn't all without gain. At the very least, the fact that the Suzaku Army was willing to sell firearms surprised her very much.
In fact, not only Hua Xianyu, but also the other generals in the Vermilion Bird Army were extremely puzzled when they saw that Li Yun wanted to sell firearms. In their opinion, a weapon like this should be held in their arms, for fear of letting someone else get a little.
However, the Vermilion Bird Army was forged by Li Yun, and in the army, Li Yun said nothing about it, and no one dared to oppose any of his decisions. Therefore, if you understand that they want to carry out Li Yun's orders, if you don't understand, you must also carry them out.
And this kind of blind obedience is also what Li Yun has always focused on cultivating.
After Hua Xianyu left, Xiao Qiang said in a charming manner: "Master, the slave family will follow you in the future, and please have mercy on the master." ”
With that charming eyes like silk seductive and charming expression, I am afraid that any man will feel love and pity when he sees it. However, Li Yun, who has been in the flower bush for a long time, will not be so fascinated.
So Li Yun instructed Concubine Ling Yue: "Concubine Yue, these women will be handed over to you, you can arrange it." ”
"No!"
Then Li Yun hugged Feng Wanzhu and left, ignoring Xiao Qiang's longing eyes.
"The host...... ...... hosts"
Seeing that Li Yun was leaving, Xiao Qiang hurriedly caught up, her task was to charm Li Yun, if Li Yun left, who would she charm.
But Xiao Qiang only took two steps before being blocked by Concubine Ling Yue, "Xiao Beauty, please stay." ”
"Sister Ling, what advice do you have?" Looking at Concubine Ling Yue, Xiao Qiang said unkindly.
However, Concubine Ling Yue glanced at her arrogantly and said, "Xiao Meiren, there are also rules in this master's back house, if Xiao Meiren ignores the rules when she first comes, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Although Xiao Qiang was in a hurry, he also understood that it was really not suitable to make enemies when he first arrived, so he saluted and said: "It's Xiao Qiang who is reckless, please don't blame my sister." ”
"Well, it's good to know, come with me." Concubine Ling Yue glanced at her and said.
I saw that under the leadership of Concubine Ling Yue, Xiao Qiang and other beauties who were sent to Li Yun by the Red Lotus Sect were all sent to a courtyard outside the mansion.
Although Li Yun is lustful, he also knows that the women sent to him by the Red Lotus Sect are time bombs, so he will not leave these hidden dangers in himself! In particular, we must step up our vigilance against such a cult as the Red Lotus Sect, which is good at brainwashing.
After entering the courtyard, Concubine Ling Yue ordered: "Xiao Meiren, you will live here in the future, and you are not allowed to go out without an order." ”
"Live here?"
After looking at the courtyard, Xiao Qiang looked unwilling, because although this courtyard was luxurious, it was already outside the mansion, how could she complete her task if she lived here.
"Yes, Xiao Meiren, you remember that you have been given to the master, that is, the master's slave girl, and the master does not like disobedient slave girls. So if you think of the master's favor, be obedient and obey the rules, and don't do anything that makes the owner unhappy! After saying that, Concubine Ling Yue ignored Xiao Qiang and left directly.
Xiao Qiang naturally knew that Concubine Ling Yue was giving her a threat, but she understood that what she had to do now was forbearance. When she has the opportunity to get close to Li Yun in the future, she will definitely make Li Yun fall under her pomegranate skirt by her means.
But Xiao Qiang didn't know that there were many beautiful women in the Suzaku Army's teaching department, and they were all noble women with good knowledge, and the methods of those women were no worse than her.
Moreover, it is still unknown whether she can get the opportunity to get close to Li Yun again through the correction of the Teaching Workshop Division.
