Chapter 47: A Despicable Feast (I)

When the sun shone on Kyoto again, Emperor Tokusho felt cold in his hands and feet, and he felt 120,000 ridiculous in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the original Kyoto City Business District, sheds made of canvas and wooden sticks appeared.

Hundreds of horse-drawn wagons and nearly a thousand wheelbarrows busily shuttled back and forth between the shed and the port, unloading the mountains of goods.

The Riberian Army is constantly moving "trade goods" out of the city, and this land, which not so long ago exuded blood and gunsmoke, is now a lively bazaar, and the buyers and sellers of the trade are soldiers who were still firing guns and cannons a few days ago......

It's a fantastic scene. Although this scene was brought about by his own suggestion, Lorraine still had a vague sense of inauthenticity when it came to the end.

However, it doesn't matter if you are a little uncomfortable with this, as long as you look at those account books, you can know that the profit of the Eastern Army this time is simply robbery.

The large arms trade definitely came to money, and the Riberians, who had not been replenished for a long time, received large quantities of weapons with little bargaining, and some soldiers even sold them their own rifles.

In addition, there are medicines, magic items, holy water, canned spam food, helmets, etc., and a lot of domestic surplus materials are being traded.

These alone caused Lorraine's small vault to skyrocket by nearly 200,000 gold coins, especially the gunpowder sold to Catherine privately, and it was sold at a super high price, which was really exciting.

The big deals of the army leaders are not for small soldiers to interfere in, but the soldiers on both sides have begun to secretly exchange their own private goods.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army mainly took out tobacco, coffee, holy water, canned goods, etc., while the soldiers of the Riberian Army generously took out real money, silver, jewelry and handicrafts.

There were no familiar caravans here, and the items on hand were not easy to sell on the black market, and the prices were far from meeting the soldiers' expectations.

It is better to use it with high-end consumer goods in the hands of the Eastern Army, and the commanders of the two sides naturally turn a blind eye to this kind of thing because they have reached an agreement in secret.

In the ruins and craters of Kyoto, the Bretanians and Riberians laughed and blushed because they couldn't express their meaning, and the success of the deal made both parties even happier.

Thanks to the omnipotent money, the invaders, who were still a little wary, became old friends at this moment, and they were as close as brothers and sisters.

Except for those who are used as commodities.

After being taught a lesson by the Riberians with bayonets, bullets and clubs these days, the "spoils" finally recognized their fate and could only hope for a not-so-bad owner in the future.

As an important laborer, Lorraine and Catherine quarreled many times over these "trade goods", and neither side was very satisfied with the other's offer.

"Major Heine! You've gone too far! How can you bid ten cans for such a trade! ”

"How did I go too far, Major Rodney!? With such a body and boobs, the price of ten cans for me is too cheap for you! ”

Of course, the two generals could not come forward to bargain in person, it would be too embarrassing, so Major Heine on Riberia's side, and Major Rodney of the Eastern Army were pushed out to do the dirty work, and for the sake of a good commission, the two had a fierce fight.

The reason for the disagreement between the two - it is a young woman who is young in Dongying, but she is a little dirty and messy, and she does not have the grace of an oriental beauty at all, and she has to be ripped off her clothes by the rude officer next to her, which is really a tragedy.

Such quarrels are too common, but when Emperor Tokusho and his wife saw it, the empress turned pale in an instant and almost fell, and the middle-aged uncle was also dumbfounded.

"My people...... Is it also a trade item......" Emperor Tokusho muttered to herself, the empress grabbing her husband's hand uneasily, she could feel the anger of the other party...... And helplessness.

"Husband, please be patient...... We can't save them, and we can't save ourselves. ”

“…… You're right, ma'am. ”

A cacophony of machinery interrupted the conversation, and Emperor Tokusho looked back to find the convoy returning with a shipment of supplies, as well as several large humanoid iron shells slowly advancing.

Most importantly, they saw that Lorraine and Catherine were talking over there, and Emperor Tokusho straightened his clothes and walked over to the two generals.

Near the big iron shell, Lorraine and Admiral Catherine are enjoying a rare black tea, and there are many special snacks on the table.

"Good morning! Your Majesty the Emperor, Toei's dim sum is very much to my appetite, I just tasted a lot, do you need some? ”

"Thank you...... These Daifuku really taste good. He took the dim sum plate handed by Lorraine and threw the Dafu dumplings into his mouth.

The sweet smell of glutinous rice immediately spread in his mouth, and he praised it a few times, and then he opened his mouth to get down to business.

"Your Excellency Lorraine, I don't know how large the Dongying people's transaction is over there?"

"I want to ask Admiral Catherine, we came to see the magic armor test today, and it would be better to perform it before delivering it to the customer."

"Magic Armor?" Emperor Tokusho repeated this strange word, putting aside the question of "traded goods" for the time being.

"Invented and popularized by Admiral Lorraine, the Western world gradually replaced the heavy armor power of cavalry, the perfect work of mobility, protection and firepower, this is magic armor."

"It's not as good as you say, Admiral Catherine."

"You don't need to be so modest." Catherine shook her head, not saying much about Lorraine's modesty, "What you've made is pretty useful, and I've even thought of how to destroy it." ”

It's just some big iron shells, and General Xiyi doesn't know how to destroy it, "I think Western magic and Eastern magic, as well as artillery, should be able to do it, right?" Emperor Tokusho said suspiciously.

"His Majesty the Emperor is right, even with the spread of magic, there are still not enough casters who can become battlefield mages, and the power of the artillery is enough, but the speed of movement and aiming is really disappointing...... I forgot to tell you that the Magic Armor can also be equipped with small guns. ”

"That's ......"

Seeing that the emperor still looked unaware, Lorraine directly handed over a commercial brochure for magic armor, and if he wanted to buy such a big toy, these brochures were a must.

Just when the three of them were cultists, a squad of magic guide armor began to practice, and the wheeled maneuver was like walking on the ground on the ruins of Kyoto, and the heavy weapons in their hands were simply not something that ordinary people could resist.

Not to mention the 30-mm infantry gun, although the firing speed is not fast and the ammunition volume is only three rounds, but the driver can install it independently, which is also considered a kind of progress.

"What a terrible weapon......"

"It's amazing!"

The difference in views between the invaded and the aggressor is truly embarrassing.
