Chapter 372: Batch Equipment
"Consistent money, this is the living expenses of the people of Yizhou for a month or even a few months, this is a little too expensive!" Qin Shubao has also lived in Yizhou for a long time, and he has some understanding of Yizhou's living standards, so he said.
Li Yuan also nodded silently when he heard this, and he agreed with Qin Shubao's words.
Li Su smiled and said, "You just don't understand this, this casino is not opened for ordinary people, but for the rich merchants and nobles living in Yizhou to consume, they have money in their hands, think about how to spend the money in their hands, we are providing them with such a place."
"It makes sense, it is said that all the businessmen who run overseas business now have a lot of money, and the emperor's grandfather knows what to do." Li Yuan knew that if he wanted to talk about luxury, could he, a person who was the emperor, still not understand?
After that, he discussed the relevant details with Li Su, Li Su told him about the modern casino, Li Yuan listened to it and nodded frequently, and many times he applauded, saying that he wanted to deal with this newly built casino according to Li Su's method.
Accompanied by Li Yuan and gossiped for a while, Li Su drove back to the palace, now Yizhou is in order, he is becoming more and more idle, and now in addition to the construction on the fiefdom, Li Su has been concerned about the expeditionary force led by Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu, after the successful construction of the Philippine colonial base, they continued to sail westward, and the commercial ports of the two countries were opened one after another, in the face of the powerful power of artillery and muskets, these countries have no room for resistance, It is only possible to conclude one unequal treaty after another with the fleet.
Now Yizhou's external development and internal construction are steadily advancing, Li Su basically doesn't need to worry about anything, even if something goes wrong, there are intelligent people who can adjust and supervise at any time, so that things can get back on track, the only thing he worries about is that it may be a threat from modern times, because he is now in the same fog. I don't know what kind of changes he will face, so in his opinion, he has to make every effort to solve this matter, so as not to cause trouble, if it is really M country to find a way to open up space, then the Qiē he built in Yizhou is a white tower, and the modern war is enough to destroy the whole world.
And this worry also forced Li Su to continue to pay attention to modern affairs, so he also changed the guards around him, so that the Terminators took over the palace guards to protect his safety and transmit information from detection. In this way, he can travel back and forth between the two worlds at any time with peace of mind, and things on both sides will not be delayed.
Somalia, as Li Su guessed, after the arms dealer in country E found Li Su, in less than a week, another person found him, according to Kumasi, this person claimed to be an arms dealer in country M, and did not shy away from his origin at all. After getting this news, Li Su had a crooked idea, Li Ran's man-made diamond has been successful, and when will it not be used to trick the people of M at this time?
Let Li Ran transport a large box of artificial diamonds from the Australian base. Then, Li Su packed the small wooden box in the ring and brought it back to Somalia, so many diamonds were used slowly in the future, which also saved Li Ran from running again and again.
Back in his office. Li Su asked Kumasi to bring in the M man and talk to him, but to his surprise, the M man was just a pure arms dealer. It's not like Trove who still has some political purposes, but because of this, Li Su is more welcome, which suddenly reminds him of Charles, a businessman from country M who is also a part-time arms dealer.
"Mr. John, is it? You know that the currencies we trade in Africa are diamonds and gold, and we don't dare to put such things as dollars in the bank, because the government of your country M can freeze our accounts at any time. Li Su took out an iron box and shook it, this was the diamond he had packed in advance, he fell down on the table and said, "This is the chip we traded." ”
A small pile of diamonds was spread on the table, John seemed very calm, his way to obtain the source of weapons was to bribe the officers of various countries to buy those obsolete weapons, as well as the various military equipment that was discarded on the battlefield in the Middle East, "I understand this, I have done a lot of business in Africa, Sudan, Kenya and many of the arms of these countries come from me, since the intention of cooperation has been reached, in a few days, we will trade diamonds and arms." ”
Li Su nodded, just now he had already talked to John about the weapons and equipment he needed, including military Humvees, grenades and other weapons are even included, these things are much more high-end than the weapons and equipment provided by Trove, this M country is worthy of being the world's number one arms dealer.
As soon as John's front feet left, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the door, Li Yu listened carefully to the voice of Trove, he was happy in his heart, thinking that it was the arms and supplies of country E that had arrived, but the other voice was John, and the two seemed to have some disputes.
It only took two or three minutes for the conversation at the door to end, and a Somali soldier escorted Trov in, and now after a few months of familiarity, Li Su really looks a little like the indigenous warlords, "Mr. Chief, you can't do this, we have already negotiated a deal, that guy can only find you some second-hand goods left on the battlefield." ”
Li Su threw a big Cuban cigar to Trove, and had to say that modern society is still very rich in materials, "Don't be in such a hurry, our deal has not been canceled, and what should be given to you will still be given to you." ”
"I wish I was the sheikh's only arms supplier." Trove said.
"Hehe, we always have to shop around when we buy arms, don't we? These diamonds are hard to come by, and we can't be so rash, even if you are still particular about bidding, right? ”
Turf's words made Trove suddenly become a squib, and the shrewdness of the tribal chieftain made him change his impression of Africans, "Okay, okay, let's talk about the previous deal first." He had already smuggled the arms from country E to here according to Li Su's request, he didn't want Li Su to stop it, this was the reason why he was so anxious to quarrel with John just now, as an arms dealer, he was naturally familiar with each other.
"Of course, if the goods are right, we won't break our promises, these things are still yours." Li Su said, and then he said: "Don't stand here, let's go and see the equipment that belongs to us." ”
Trove took a sharp puff on his cigar, nodded, and walked out with Li Su, while Kumasi led a team of soldiers to protect Li Su.
The last time he traded, Li Su bought a lot of equipment from Trove, and when he left the office, Trove walked directly to the outside of Gadaro Town, and along the way, the Somalis looked at Trov with wary eyes.
Outside the town, there was a lot of yellow sand, and occasionally a few withered yellow shrubs could be seen, and to Li Su's surprise, dozens of oversized trucks covered with canvas were parked in an open field, and many Somali refugees were surrounding the vehicles, if it weren't for the soldiers with guns around the vehicles, these refugees would probably have swarmed up to loot, after all, such things are too common in Africa.
Since they were in Somalia, they had to do what was customary in Somalia, and Kumasi led his soldiers into the sky for a while, and some soldiers came forward to drive the refugees back to the town, but even so, many people hid and peeked here.
"It's all here." "Fifty Mustang multi-purpose military vehicles, thirty manned armored vehicles, their own 12.7 mm machine guns, the rest are AK74s and ammunition, and more than 300 individual rocket launchers." ”
Li Su heard this and said, "Well, that's good. "Anyway, let Kumasi open and check, these terminators are all capable of scanning, and there is no problem in counting these things.
At this time, Troff continued, "I still hope that the sheikh will consider my proposal, I hope that I am the sheikh's only arms provider, and now that the Western countries have fixed supporters in Somalia, they will not welcome you." ”
"I understand what you mean, but I don't want to take sides now, business is business, let's not talk about politics for the time being." Li Su waved his hand, his current power is still very weak, and he does not want to be squeezed out by the West immediately, which is not conducive to his development.
Neither persuasion worked, and Trove was a little discouraged, although he did not agree on politics, but he did not want to lose the arms buyer, so he said: "Well, if the chief changes his mind, you can always come to me, and then we can give the chief international support." ”
"Thank you." Li Su patted his weight loss, and now no country has openly supported him, so he is isolated politically, even if he unifies Somalia, he will only be a rebel, because there is still a Western-backed Somali government, although this government basically cannot control the country, and even the president's own safety cannot be guaranteed.
A dozen Terminators quickly counted the weapons and ammunition, and Kumasi came back and said to Li Su: "No problem, it's the amount we requested." ”
"Well, Trove, I have to say that you are very trustworthy, by the way, and what about the two million dollars in cash and the food I want?" Li Su praised.
Trove beckoned to a mercenary standing in front of the transport, who returned to the cart and walked over with two large boxes inside, "Twenty million dollars are here, and those food will have to wait about three days." ", Troff said.
Li Su asked Kumasi to take the box without counting, he believed that Trove would not lie to him, because the weapon was already here, "Well, it's a perfect deal, you'll get what you want." Li Su said. (To be continued......)
