He is now dreaming of recovering the lost territory, but the Byzantine army is not strong, and it is no match for the Arabs at all, so he can only endure it.

If he could get the kind of weapon used by Li Zhi's army this time, Constans II believed that it would not be much of a problem not to say that he would recover the lost territory, or completely wipe out the Arab Empire.

Li Zhi naturally wouldn't agree to him in one go, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized the value of his weapons.

Today's Arab Empire has eliminated the Sassanid Dynasty, and its power has bordered the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhi also has the heart to solve the scourge of the Arab Empire for the Tang Dynasty.

So it was a good move to let the Byzantines come out to deal with the Arab Empire, but with the current strength of Byzantium, that is, they could barely protect themselves, and they were unable to attack the Arab Empire, so he had to help the Byzantines regain their confidence and make them brave enough to fight the damned invaders the Arabs.

Li Zhi showed a hesitant expression on his face, and walked around in place for half a circle before he spoke: "I don't really know that I don't have many weapons like this, otherwise our Datang would have dominated the world a long time ago." ”

This is understood by Constans II, such weapons against the sky really can't be too many, otherwise, as Li Zhi said, the Tang Dynasty is afraid that the Arab Empire and their Byzantium will be wiped out, so that the territory of both countries will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Constans II hurriedly said: "I only need to be able to buy a part of your weapon from your hands, not all of it." ”

"That's •••••••"

Constans II was afraid of Li Zhi's direct refusal, so he hurriedly said: "We are willing to buy a part of your weapons at a price ten times higher." ”

Li Zhi said in his heart: "I don't like to hear what you say, today and Your Majesty hit it off at first sight, we are not ordinary people, if we talk about money in everything, it will be boring, isn't it?" ”

"yes, yes, we're friends now."

In the Byzantine Empire, no one dared to be his friend, so Constans II was still very lonely in his heart, and he also felt a sense of loneliness.

Even his beloved concubine was cautious about what he said in front of him, for fear of making him unhappy, let alone those courtiers, even his most dependent uncle.

Seeing the expression of Constance II, Li Zhi felt a little guilty in his heart, it was really too much for him to deceive other people's feelings like this, fortunately, the other party was not a woman, otherwise he would be even more unbearable.

"The weapon they use and the armor on their bodies are used together, both are indispensable, the cost price of such a set of equipment is 500 taels of gold, and the equipment of the five thousand people behind me is half of the equipment of my Datang."

Constans II used his not very good arithmetic brain to calculate the cost price of the 5,000 sets of equipment was 2.5 million taels of gold, which was a staggering figure even for him.

Of course, Constans II was not the emperor who attacked his younger brother in order to stabilize his position at this time, and he still had a bit of kindness in his heart, so he naturally would not shamelessly propose to buy Li Zhi's equipment at cost price.

He thought about it in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "I plan to buy these five thousand sets of equipment for three and a half million taels of gold, I don't know what you think?" ”

Li Zhi pretended to be displeased and said: "My cost price is only two 500,000 taels of gold, how can I charge you an extra 1 million taels, aren't you insulting the pure friendship between us?" ”

"No, no, no, brother, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, you sold this weapon to me privately, and your father will probably blame you if he finds out."

According to Constans II's idea, if these weapons belonged to his father, then he would not sell them to others anyway, so he felt that Li Zhi sold him a great favor, so he bid one million higher to let Li Zhi give an account to his father.

This bucket emperor is so sincere now, which Li Zhi never expected, and he was almost moved to shed crocodile tears.

Li Zhi stepped forward and gave Constans II a big hug and said, "I have made a friend of yours, and I hope our friendship can last forever." ”

"Haha, okay, it's really the greatest honor in my life to be able to meet your friend, go, follow me into the palace, I want to entertain you as a friend."

"Haha, then I'll be disrespectful, but I have to send these brothers back to the ship first."

So Constans II followed behind Li Zhi to the sea.

Along the way, he saw the ground pitted and accompanied by the smell of burning, and Constans II was very puzzled, although he did not go out of the city often, but it was not the same outside the city before.

Li Zhi explained embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is really embarrassed, this is all caused by the artillery fire that I ordered the crew to fire when I vented my anger just now. ”

Constans II's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "You mean it's the destruction caused by the ships?" ”

"yes. The sea ships I took this time are also the most precious treasures of my Datang, these ships ••••••"

Li Zhi wanted to get more gold from the hands of Constans II again, so he took out the sales skills of a gold medal salesman, which made Constans II's heart itch, just like a woman tied him up and teased him on his body, but he couldn't have this woman.

At this time, he couldn't wait to board Li Zhi's ship and see what kind of power the sea ship could be used as a weapon.

Li Zhi naturally won't let him down.

He invited Constans II to his command ship and personally demonstrated the power of artillery for him, which naturally made Constans II excited.

He once thought that his fleet was already very good, but he did not expect that there were still sea ships in this world that could launch attacks, and if such sea ships were in their hands by Byzantium, then he could use these sea ships to launch a sharp attack on the Arabs, and when the time came, the sea and land would definitely inflict heavy losses on the Arabs.

It's just that I just discussed buying other people's weapons, but now I even want to buy other people's sea ships, which is really a bit unspeakable.

But he was so desperate to defeat the Arabs that he had to be cheeky and continue to speak.

In the past, he hated this kind of cheeky person the most, but he didn't expect that he would become so cheeky one day, but for the future of the empire, his face is nothing.
