Chapter 342: Arms Race (3)

"The messenger of Suqadana has arrived, Staff Officer Zhou." A Blackwater soldier reported.

The envoy, Sukkadana Zhou Yu knew the purpose of their coming, as Landak's feud, they had territorial disputes, and even fought dozens of battles because of this, and the final outcome basically ended in Landak's defeat, it can be said that the other party stepped on Landak to the status of a powerful country.

Nearly every Sukkadana would wage war against Randak as a way to demonstrate his supremacy and bravery, and Randak lost part of his land and population almost every twenty years, and his land was constantly being eaten up by the other side.

The other party will not know about the big things that happened in Landak, and it is estimated that he still knows a lot of things, as a neighboring country that regularly invades Landak, you can imagine how many spies he has stationed in the other party's country.

Therefore, the relationship between Blackwater and Landak, it is estimated that the other party has already known about it, so it will send an envoy to come secretly at this time.

The purpose of their coming is probably to worry about the purchase of arms by Landak, after all, they know the prestige of Blackwater, and once the Landaks are also trained to be as strong as Blackwater, what awaits them will be the end.

Even if Sukkadana doesn't come to Blackwater, the other side will take the initiative to buy arms, and with the increasing import of weapons to Landak, it makes sense to launch an attack on Sukkadana.

Just the day before yesterday, a guy who claimed to be the messenger of Suqadana quietly ran to the military camp of Blackwater, saying that he hoped to cooperate with Blackwater.

Blackwater is in the business of fighting for his employer, and at first he thought that this guy was a remnant of the former Sultan, but later he found out that it was not, it was actually a spy from a neighboring country, but according to the spy's report, an important person in their country had arrived in Landak and wanted to talk to the head of Blackwater.

Zhou Yu, as the supreme commander who stayed behind, naturally agreed to the other party's request, and he also wanted to see what the other party meant by coming.

Led by the spy who took the initiative to contact him the day before yesterday, he was followed by a tall man: "This is General Desa of our country." He will be in charge of the main negotiations. ”

"Please be seated," Zhou Yu greeted politely, and served snacks and tea, squinting at each other.

"The general has come to talk to me, so please tell me directly." Zhou Yu actually knew that the other party's basic idea was to buy arms and weapons, but in order to grasp the initiative in his own hands, he didn't know what to do.

"Staff Officer Zhou, I'm here to cooperate with Blackwater, you know that Sukkadana is much stronger than Landak. Working with us, Blackwater is sure to get more benefits. ”

"Yes, that's not necessarily, although Landak is weak, but with our help, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can defeat you, and then the general will not dare to say such things."

Desa was speechless by Zhou Yu's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while, after all, this kind of possibility exists, and he has basically investigated Heishui's combat ability, and it is not his own army that he can fight.

"Staff Officer Zhou, we hope to buy a batch of weapons from Heishui's hands. I don't know if we have this possibility of cooperation. ”

"The general is also interested in our weapons, of course we can cooperate, but the guns we sell are brand new, and the price may be a little high. I don't know if the general will be able to accept it. What Zhou Yu said is also true, the price of the new gun is indeed much more expensive than the old one, and the guns redressed by the black sailor plus the domestic army have basically been sold to Landak, so there is no stock. If the other party wants to sell second-hand, he really can't get it.

"Suqadana is rich, as long as you offer a reasonable price, we will naturally be willing to buy it." For Sukkadana, who has always been in a strong state, it is really worth the money. It is enough to take a part of the wealth looted from neighboring countries, let alone buy new weapons.

"In that case, then our negotiations should be very pleasant, and even the cooperation will be very smooth, you know that Landak is too poor, so the weapons they buy are basically old weapons from Blackwater, although there will not be much difference in terms of use performance, but it is definitely not comparable to new ones in terms of service life."

Zhou Yu said this to elevate Sukkadana and belittle Landak, but it was very useful from Desa's proud face. It is estimated that he thought in his heart, Landak, who is poor, actually uses things that others have used, if he had known that they were loading garlic, then he would not have to be afraid of Landak if he didn't come to buy Blackwater's weapons.

But one thing is for sure, Blackwater's weapons are still very good, according to the information collected on the battlefield, those soldiers who were hit have almost no chance of survival, and the lightest of those who were hit were also fleshy and fleshy, what a terrible weapon it was.

This is the Type 1640 rifle that our Australian army and Blackwater are equipped with, and the Landak has purchased this kind of rifle, and its effective range is about 200 meters, which is definitely farther than the bow and arrow you said you use. You can go outside and test in person to see if what I say is fake.

Zhou Yu pointed to a rifle brought by the soldier and introduced it, and then Desa took the rifle that was shiny all over and had just been oiled and said, "I want to give it a try." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, asked the soldier to take him out, and taught the other party how to use it, after all, the other party did not use overheated weapons, and it was no better than the natives.

Ten minutes later, Desa, who had finished the test shot, walked in with the gun in his hand, muttering something in his mouth, and only after the translator did he know that he was very satisfied with it, and asked Landak how much he was equipped.

Seeing that the business was about to be concluded, Zhou Yu pretended to be meaningful and said: "Landak has purchased a lot of money, if the two countries exchange troops, Landak will definitely have an advantage." ”

Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Desa thought for a while and said: "Then give me the amount that Landak ordered is a thousand more, I believe that my brand-new rifle should be able to defeat the other party," Zhou Yu didn't reply, just smiled, because of this, he didn't dare to pack a ticket and say that as long as there are more guns, he can defeat the other party, in case Landak beats the other party with hormones, how can he do business happily then.

"There are many decisive factors for victory and defeat, and weapons only play a certain auxiliary role, and the general should understand this, if he thinks that he can win with more rifles, it is absolutely unacceptable, but no weapon advantage is also one of the important reasons for failure." Zhou Yu said a bunch of vague words that Desa couldn't understand very much, but he knew that the weapons were definitely more or less superior, so the order for six thousand rifles was taken in this way.

An arms race for the purchase of weapons by Randak was also joined by Sukkadana, making the arms race in Kalimantan official. (To be continued......)
