Chapter 717: The local tyrant wants to buy a battleship

"First of all, let's count the countries that have lost the star field, in the current situation, our battleships are too far away to sell, so we can only do peripheral business."

Zhang Shusheng pointed to a huge circular map with an electronic baton, the middle zone was the territory of the Chinese Empire, including the entire Lost Star Domain, and the periphery was a dozen or twenty large and small countries.

At present, the conditions of the empire are limited, and it cannot support ultra-long-distance trade, and it has neither interstellar status nor strong military strength, and may be pitted if it encounters powerful pirates along the way.

"If you take the sun as a reference, the Nok Merchant Alliance is located in the west of the empire, and the Longshan Empire is located in the north, these are the two strongest second-level civilizations, to be precise, they both have the qualifications of quasi-third-level civilizations.

The remaining secondary civilizations are the Duchy of Rank, the Orion Alliance, the Rosser, the Hellian Federation, and the Huff Empire.

Other countries with strong strength and reached the peak of first-level civilization are the Heroic Wind Empire, the Cross Federation, the Meteor Empire, and the Menas Business Alliance......"

Zhang Shusheng listed all these countries, and then removed several countries with weak national strength and heavy debts, and then removed the longer roads and temporary trade difficulties, and finally left a few optional goals.

"The two giants of the Nok Merchant Alliance and the Longshan Empire must be removed, even if our battleships are no worse than their elite warships, but in the long run, they will be the enemies of the Empire, and we can't afford to be enemies.

The Principality of Ranke and us are in a state of war, remove it, although the Orion Alliance is a new rising force, but its strength is stronger, but our warships cannot be completely sold to them, only if there are more customers, can we engage in more effective bidding.

Excluding a few other countries that are heavily indebted, have long distances and have poor trade, there are still four countries to choose from.

The Rotherl Dynasty and the Haff Empire are two second-level civilizations.

The first-level civilization has the Majestic Wind Empire and the Menas Business Alliance. ”

Zhang Shusheng immediately clicked on the information of these four countries, and a large number of data and pictures were displayed in front of everyone.

"The Rotherl Dynasty, a second-level civilization, was founded in 1500 years, has a very strong military strength and strong national strength, and is a second-level civilization second only to the Longshan Empire and the Nok Merchant Alliance in the Lost Star Field.

Although this country is powerful, because it is between the Nok Merchant Alliance and the Longshan Empire, it has always been tired of defending, both worried about the attack of the Longshan Empire and worried about being attacked by the Nok Merchant Alliance, in general, they are more inclined to the Longshan Empire, but the relationship with the Nok Merchant Alliance is not bad, it is a grass-walled country, but the strength is stronger.

In general, the country has the money and willingness to buy powerful battleships, and they can afford to pay for them, which is the basis for doing business. However, we must see that this country is located between two great powers, the contradictions are prominent, and the battleships we sold to them are going to pass near the border of the two countries, and they are vulnerable to strong retaliation.

And now that the Rothernian dynasty is worried about getting involved in a big war and has always wanted neutrality, it will be difficult for us to negotiate this business in a short time, let alone become our long-term partner in the near future. ”

In fact, in Zhang Shusheng's view, the Rosser Dynasty is a very good partner in the future, as long as it can abandon neutrality and completely fall to the other side, it means a great war opportunity, as long as there are advanced battleships in hand, it will definitely be able to sell there.

However, it is not realistic at the moment, and the risk factor of trade is also the greatest.

"This Huff Empire is a strange thing, it has only been founded for five or six hundred years, and its economy is strong, but its military strength is very weak. There is a garrison of the Nok Merchant League in the country, and it is a vassal of the Nok Merchant League.

The founder of the empire, Haff I, was a defector from the Longshan Empire, who had been attached to the Nok Merchant Alliance for hundreds of years, and maintained a hostile posture towards the original Orion Federation, which is now the Orion Alliance, as well as the Duchy of Rank. ”

Zhang Shusheng prefers this Huff Empire, because they are in big trouble.

"The previous emperors of the Haff Empire were ambitious adventurists, and this time was no exception, they thought that the Nok Merchant Alliance would defeat the Principality of Ranke with an absolute advantage, so as to reach a wartime alliance with the Orion Alliance, and hastily dispatched troops, and the result was ......"

Zhang Shusheng clicked on a picture, on which was a gorgeous starry sky, countless fireworks dotted the dark night sky, and under the firelight were battleships that had been blown into slag.

"The fleet they sent fell into the tricks of the Rankers and was completely wiped out, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of the Orions, the Rankers would have reached the capital area by now."

This country is very suitable for selling arms, and a country that has money but does not match its military strength can only think of national defense construction when the country's survival is at stake.

He could guess that the royal family of the Haff Empire must be in a hurry, and he thought that he could reap huge benefits by taking a hitchhiker, but the stealing was not successful, and the main force of the country was lost, and the rest except for a little Guard Fleet and the family fleet, there was only the garrison of the Nok Merchant Alliance.

But the Nok Merchant Alliance itself is in huge trouble, how can it still keep this insignificant vassal wholeheartedly?

"This Huff Empire is used to being comfortable, and now it's going to be unlucky. If it was before, the Nok Business Alliance must have taken good care of it like an old hen, and now the Longshan Empire and the Nok Business Alliance have put on a posture, with countless small and medium-sized wars, and seeing that the big war is imminent, they are desperately gathering troops, unless the Huff Empire is destroyed, I am afraid that they will not care about him. ”

Jiang Baili said with a smile, he was also very optimistic about the Haff Empire.

First of all, people have money, although they are greedy and stingy, they are still willing to spend money at the moment of destroying the country, and secondly, even if the Nok Business Alliance can keep it from being destroyed, losing a few planets is enough to cost half the life of the Huff royal family.

"The Huff Empire is indeed very rich, I think it can be listed as an object of arms sales, their royal family is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is better to slaughter them at this time."

Hatton also thinks so, he used to be an arms company, and he knows the surrounding countries very well, he used to think that sooner or later something would happen to the Huff Empire, but now he didn't expect to suffer a big loss in his greed and ambition first.

"Then make it one of the goals. Let's look at the other two first-class civilizations. ”

Then, the group examined and discussed the Mighty Wind Empire and the Menas Business Alliance, both of which were quite distinctive.

Although the Xiongfeng Empire is a country at the peak of the first-level civilization, it is not a second-level civilization, but the number of battleships on hand is more than that of the Haff Empire, and it even has a battleship production line, which is relatively strong, and the key is that it is particularly belligerent, and it can get a lot of protection money every year when it fights several small countries around it.

This small empire has only five living planets, but it is very warlike, and it has a small intersection with the empire in terms of territory, and it can be regarded as a small country leader in a chaotic region.

In Zhang Shusheng's view, this small country is more similar to Israel in later generations, fierce and aggressive, and its strength is extraordinary, and it is definitely one of the good choices to list it as an arms sales target in such troubled times.

What is the core of arms sales?

First of all, the other party has a strong desire to buy advanced battleships, and secondly, there must be enough money to make another transaction smoothly, and these three points can be met in order to meet Zhang Shusheng's conditions.

The conditions of the Menas Business Alliance are also good, a country based on commerce, naturally close to the Nok Business Alliance, and it is also one of the countries blessed by the Nok Business Alliance.

This business alliance has been doing business with the Nok Business Alliance and the Longshan Empire, and it is very wealthy, and it is a typical example of a small country and a big wealth.

Like the Xiongfeng Empire, the military strength is also very strong, and the two countries have even fought on the border several times and ended in a draw.

However, the Menas Business Alliance has a natural weakness, a small country is rich, and the huge wealth in the family has long been remembered, and it is geographically closer to the Longshan Empire.

Their fate is more tragic than that of the Xiongfeng Empire, the Huff Empire and the Orion Alliance are at war with the Principality of Rank, the Xiongfeng Empire is bullying the surrounding small countries to take advantage, but the Menas Business Alliance is being beaten all over the ground by the border fleet of the Longshan Empire, and the situation is also very unbearable.

"The Huff Empire, the Hsiung Wind Empire, and the Menas Business Alliance are all good targets for arms sales, and I prefer the Huff Empire and the Menas Business Alliance, and the Hsiung Wind Empire can be used as a follow-up observation object."

He was going to pick the best one to sell first, and the remaining two would be postponed, after all, the empire currently produced limited battleships.

In fact, when the meeting was held to select targets, Zhang Shusheng just wanted these high-ranking military and political officials to get involved, so that they could have more contact with interstellar strategy, and he actually had these two or three goals in his heart for a long time.

While the empire was busy selecting arms sales targets, the Huff empire was already on fire.

……

"The Chinese Empire, I've heard of it, seems to be very close to the Orions, and hostile to the Ranks."

Although Harff IX was obsessed with wine and wealth, he had heard of the existence of the Chinese Empire.

General Mian Kang nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. China is a country located in the Lost Star Field, which is said to be the pinnacle of a first-class civilization with strong military power, and they have the upper hand in many encounters with the Ranks.

The country seemed to have risen suddenly, and no one had even heard of such a first-class civilization before. ”

"It's a little strange, could it be that a family from a certain big country has fled?"

Haff IX thought of his ancestors, thought of the Rong family, who was actually at the helm of the Duchy of Ranke, and wondered which country's big family occupied the Lost Star Domain.

"It is very likely that they were very strong as soon as they appeared, and although they had the advantage of geographical advantages, they did not fall behind in several head-on clashes.

They had advanced battleships, which was their greatest feature.

According to intelligence, they even sold battleships to the Orion Alliance, and relied on such advanced battleships to win more with less, and the Rankers fled in the desert. ”

Mian Kang paused, and finally said a bombshell news, "Your Majesty still remembers the collision between the Orions and the Rankers on the front line not long ago? ”

"You mean?"

"There is intelligence that this batch of battleship Orion people was not purchased from the Guluo Federation and the Noke Business Alliance, but from this mysterious Chinese Empire, this is a very advanced battleship, I have activated an ace agent lurking in the Orion Alliance, and he has obtained the relevant information.

Judging by the data, this is an elite battleship that is slightly stronger than an ordinary F-class battleship. ”

Mian Kang said with a solemn expression, this time the advanced weapons of the Chinese Empire are the most important treasures of his face saint.

He didn't know where this Chinese empire came from, but he was full of curiosity and coveted about this mysterious battleship.

The Huff Empire has been weak for a long time, and just buying a few second-hand battleships will not solve the problem at all, and it must be heavily medicated.

If you can buy a certain number of such advanced battleships, then even a smaller battleship can rely on quality and swarm superiority against a much larger enemy.

"What? Such an advanced battleship! ”

When Huff IX heard this, his eyes turned green, and he was afraid of the destruction of the empire if he didn't eat and sleep well now, afraid that the Rankers would call, afraid that the garrison of the Nok Business Alliance would suddenly withdraw, and afraid that the border planet would be taken away.

"They actually bought it from the Chinese, how much !!"

Huff IX suddenly felt a lot better, the Orions can buy it, and the Huff Empire can also buy it, it is nothing more than money, as long as the money is enough, he can have that kind of very advanced battleship.

F-class battleships, the Nok Merchant Alliance are all used as ace troops, and they will not be sold at all, and the Nok Merchant Alliance can also produce them, but the output is very low, and many technical problems cannot be solved, so they themselves buy them from the Guluo Federation.

It is certainly impossible for a country like the Huff Empire to buy from the Gora Federation or the Nok Merchant Alliance.

"General Mian Kang, you have provided a very strategic piece of information, I want you to find out this matter at any cost, as quickly as possible, at the same time, we must be prepared to investigate and contact with the Chinese at the same time, whether they admit it or not, we can try it."

Harf IX was more determined than ever, "We must buy this advanced battleship that is enough to change the fate of the empire." At all costs. (To be continued.) )
