The Huff Empire, on the palace of General Mian Kang.

"Your Excellency General, I am fortunate to be worthy of my life, and I have already made contact with the Chinese arms sales representative and established a preliminary friendship with him."

Hughes bent down and handed a few photos to General Mian Kang.

General Mian Kang was overjoyed when he heard this, Hughes did not disappoint him, he deserved to be his most capable subordinate, took the photo and looked at it, it was all the interior pictures of some battleship factories, and several Tianlong-class battleships that were being assembled were recognized by him at a glance, and they were really real guys.

"The Chinese are very mysterious, how did you get in touch with them?"

Mian Kang asked curiously.

Hughes didn't dare to hide it, and explained it honestly, and Mian Kang couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

"Hahaha...... Hughes, you are the most capable of my family, and you are even better than your ancestors. ”

A very simple way, but Mian Kang thinks that if he changes himself, it will be difficult to think of such a simple and direct way, only a guy like Hughes, who has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time and has a more wild path, can win by surprise.

"This arms sales representative surnamed Zhang looks very powerful, I heard that their emperor's surname is Zhang, this person may be a member of the royal family, otherwise he would not dare to boast of such a Haikou."

Mian Kang listened to the meaning of Hughes's words, and the arms sales officer surnamed Zhang also wanted to make this exclusive deal, and threw himself the intention of cooperation.

He also just checked the intelligence, the emperor of the Chinese is surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Shusheng, although the name is very short, but it is mysterious, quite energetic, an obscure small country can produce an ace battleship that is better than the F-class battleship, which shows that the other party is not an ordinary person, and cannot be treated as an ordinary first-class civilized little emperor.

Moreover, what makes Mian Kang feel the most is China's geographical location, which is in the lost star field, easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless it is a sneak attack, otherwise it will anger people and directly blow up the route, and it can also shrink back to defense.

Although the natural geographical advantages have restricted the economic integration of Chinese into the era of the universe and have not enjoyed the cascading effects brought by the developed countries in the surrounding universe, they have maintained their independent identity to the greatest extent.

"He has promised not to contact the rest of the empire, but it will change later, you see, general."

Hughes didn't make direct suggestions, he knew what to do with his subordinates.

"Well, I'll go to the palace to see Your Majesty right away."

Mian Kang first asked the housekeeper to contact the palace to ask Jin to see His Majesty, and he quickly got permission and brought those photos directly into the palace.

Due to the defeat, the palace has been in a rumor recently, and Mian Kang did not expect to meet the favored minister of Hav IX along the way, the chief administrator of the palace.

"Your Excellency, General."

"Your Excellency, Archmaster."

The two have always been very incompatible, although Mian Kang holds the military power, but the empire's military strength is too cold, Mian Kang's real reliance is that he has a very good relationship with the garrison of the Nok Business Alliance, but now the war is fierce, the Nok Business Alliance has a tendency to take care of itself, and the palace governor He Fuduo is the favorite of Haff IX, recently defeated, affected by some joint and several responsibilities, and has been repeatedly reprimanded, and the two are unlucky together.

"I heard that the general has recently presided over the affairs of foreign arms purchases, but at the juncture of national difficulties, he has to rely on the general to turn the tide, I really want to congratulate."

"Where, as a general, military procurement is a matter of duty, but the chief manager said that serving Your Majesty, the national crisis is more important."

The two fought for a few words, and then each brushed his sleeves away.

When Mian Kang met Huff IX, this guy who was used to lying on a woman's breast in bed was actually waiting there in good spirits.

"My general, has there been a lot of progress in the matter of military procurement?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have already contacted one of the Chinese imperial relatives in charge of arms sales, who has great power in his hands and is willing to do this business with us. ”

Mian Kang also came casually, and raised Zhang Shusheng's status directly from the arms sales representative to the status of the imperial prince in charge of arms sales, and Huff IX was even more suspicious, but more convinced.

Subsequently, he talked about some preliminary conditions that the Chinese had promised before, including the number of battleships that the Chinese could probably provide immediately, the parameters of the surname, the transportation method, and so on.

"Hahahaha, it's really good, the Chinese are really our good friends. My general, we must begin negotiations with them right away to finalize this deal, but ......"

Huff IX paused slightly, and said, "However, the Grand Governor has just met me, and I hope to contribute to the country at a time of national crisis. This is the best opportunity for arms sales negotiations, and I would like to ......."

Mian Kang heard this, but he sneered in his heart, the Mian family has served the Huff royal family for more than a hundred years, and he knows the kingship that the Huff family is best at, isn't he afraid that he will make too much of a contribution, and he is afraid that he will make a mistake from it, very good, just let you do your thing.

What kind of bullshit manager, it's just a male pet, thanks to Lao Tzu's family for more than 100 years of conscientiousness, in the end he was bullied by you like this, and if he doesn't take advantage of it this time, he won't be a man.

Mian Kang removed the last bit of worry in his heart, and took the initiative to ask for orders, "Your Majesty, Wechen thinks that it is most appropriate for the Grand Administrator to lead this arms sales negotiation with Wechen on behalf of the royal family, please allow Your Majesty." ”

"Hahaha, since the general you personally asked for your life, it's very good, I will appoint you and the chief manager to be jointly responsible for this arms purchase negotiation."

Huff IX felt that he was in a very good mood, not to mention that the Chinese were so cooperative, and the courtiers were also played by their own imperial power tricks, which is the real way to balance.

Now that the two responsible persons have been finalized, the matter of forming a group has also been decided, Mian Kang returned to the General's Mansion with an excited smile on his face and hatred in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I met the chief manager again on the way, and it seems that the guy got the news and hurried to meet His Majesty.

"Since you have to engage in some imperial power tricks and throw your unlearned male pet in, then let him be a big wrongdoer, even if someone stands up to question it in the future, there will be you who stand up to it."

Mian Kang decided to make a lot of money this time, he is not a person who destroys great evil, and he has also inherited the ancestral teachings of his family over the years, and he is loyal to the emperor and the emperor, but this does not mean that he is willing.

He became more and more aware of the shortcomings of the Huff Empire, a country that did not attach importance to armaments and tied the net worth of his empire to the belt of the Noke Merchant Alliance, could not go far, and he needed to make more arrangements for himself, in all aspects, especially money.

However, in one day, the arms procurement negotiation team was established, and Mian Kang took the initiative to give up the position of the head of the negotiation group and handed it over to the chief manager, He Fuduo, who also served as the deputy head of the group.

I have to say that the specifications of this negotiation are very high, after all, it is a matter of life and death for the empire, and without this batch of life-saving battleships, it is difficult for Mian Kang to imagine what the fate of the empire will be next.

"Hughes, the commander of the Nok garrison has revealed to me that the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance ordered them to prepare for evacuation, and there are still three months left for us at most, and we must buy the battleship back within three cosmic months, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Mian Kang said worriedly, compared to the decaying Huff royal family, he still has some feelings for this country.

"The situation has reached this point."

Hughes also saw that the Nok Merchant Alliance was accumulating strength, and it seemed that a big war between them and the Longshan Empire was inevitable, and even the peripheral garrisons would shrink.

As far as he knew, the total strength of the Nok Merchant Alliance's garrison in the small peripheral countries had reached the size of two super fleets, and this time, in addition to a few particularly important fortresses, some countries, including the Huff Empire, had to evacuate their garrisons.

In other words, three cosmic months later, the hundreds of merchant alliance battleships in the territory of the Huff Empire will be pulled out and retreated.

"It's not that the Shang Alliance doesn't care about us, but in their opinion, the most important thing now is to prepare for war, the Longshan Empire is aggressive and powerful, and the Shang Alliance has to fight with twelve points of energy, as for us, if we lose it today, we can get it back tomorrow, it's a big deal to change the regime, in fact, it has no impact on the Shang Alliance."

The geographical location of the Huff Empire determined that it could not be occupied by the Longshan Empire, but it could be looted, and even the people were captured as slaves, which was the most miserable end.

It doesn't matter if the business alliance is good, but Mian Kang can't. Therefore, in this arms purchase, he wants to achieve a win-win situation for himself and the country.

"Yes, please rest assured, I will maintain communication with the Chinese, and I will do everything well to ensure the smooth purchase of arms."

"Well, remember one thing, the people are not guilty, and someone should stand up to protect them who are unarmed."

……

When Zhang Shusheng received Hughes's request for communication, he had already read the interstellar email he sent, and it was already clear that the Huff Empire had formed a negotiation team headed by the royal chief He Fuduo and with the general Mian Kang himself as the deputy head.

"It seems that Mrs. Ha is really in a hurry, otherwise I am afraid that it would not be such a high standard."

Zhang Shusheng didn't care, since Mian Kang said that he was a member of the royal family, he was a member of the royal family, and he also made a list of several personnel, and then he would participate in the negotiations.

In fact, it is a negotiation, which is very simple for Zhang Shusheng, asking for a price, and he must get a price as high as possible.

The communication was quickly connected, and Hughes appeared in the virtual conference room in high spirits, and the two shook hands.

"Mr. Zhang, this negotiation is going to be hard, this is the general's little care, please accept it."

Hughes came up and handed him a virtual e-check for 1 million universe coins, the kind of instant transfer, Zhang Shusheng secretly said in his heart that the other party was quite generous, and he hadn't done anything yet, so he would give the money first.

He is not pretentious, and accepts it directly.

"You are too polite, Mr. Hughes took me to tell His Excellency the General, we will have a good cooperation."

Hughes sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, this negotiation may not go well, and Manager He may make some special requests. ”

When Zhang Shusheng heard this, his heart moved, it seems that this manager He is coming to grab food, but his surname is Haoshuang, he doesn't know this manager, as long as Mian Kang can let him get the maximum benefit, it is not a problem to give some kickbacks, "Mr. Hughes, please rest assured, as long as General Mian Kang can be open and honest, and give the greatest sincerity to our personal relationship, I myself can turn a blind eye to this manager." ”

Blind eye? Hughes listened, this is great, what he wants is your words.

"Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, His Excellency the General will definitely have the highest sincerity, and our sincerity is definitely higher than that of the Governor, he does not understand military affairs, and can only command blindly."

Hughes unceremoniously slandered that the manager came to grab credit and kickbacks, which not only harmed the interests of General Mian Kang, but also damaged his interests.

If things are ruined by He Fuduo, then his bonus will be gone, and cutting off people's wealth is comparable to killing his father's revenge, so he naturally wants to do everything he can to make Zhang Shusheng stand on his side.

"However, you should also have a number of negotiators, and when the time comes, the manager will do whatever it takes......"

Hughes's words are very simple, the manager is not stupid, if he can't get through here in Zhang Shusheng, he is likely to find someone else to start.

"Hahaha, Mr. Hughes, please rest assured, I am the head of the regiment in this negotiation, as General Mian Kang said, as the imperial prince, as long as the conditions you give satisfy your majesty, I have the absolute right to speak."

Zhang Shusheng said in an unquestionable tone, just kidding, He Fuduo would only have a ghost if he could dig up his own negotiators, but he also hinted that the most important thing for his side was the conditions.

A small broken empire, I didn't expect there to be such a good show, Zhang Shusheng was a little interested, it seems that the negotiations will not be so smooth, but it will never be boring. (To be continued.) )
