Who are the middlemen?

How easy, Cuba!

"Cuba?" When Davis heard the name of the country, his eyes lit up!

It's this Cuba, this place is very close to Florida, and what kind of empire, they now occupy California, and they also occupy Panama, so the rifles from California, go through Panama, and then go to Cuba to Florida, after a period of land, and then get on the train, there doesn't seem to be any problem!

Moreover, if Cuba changes hands, it will completely save the face of the Confederate, you know, when the Americans are foreign enemies, they are unanimous with foreign enemies, that is to say, the New Tang Empire of the United States, this is a foreign enemy, you can do business with them directly, this is not good......

Why couldn't Gatling understand it at this time?

He immediately said, "Mr. President, as a southerner, I definitely don't want to see our free South invaded by the evil guys of the North and those!" So, actually, this business is what I have made a lot of guarantees in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and I bragged! But God can testify of me as a person, my heart! I'm on the southern side! ”

Gatlin's words at this time were really touching, and those who heard it were sad and the listeners wept, but he seemed to have long forgotten that he had said the same thing to Lincoln back then.

"Mr. Gatlin! You are definitely a devout believer! "Davis⊥ is completely impressed!

"Mr. President!"

"Mr. Gatling!"

These two people, for a while, sympathize with each other......

Needless to say, after that. That, of course, is the details of this arms business. For example, what is the unit price of this weapon. If I buy more, can I send more bullets to my son?

As a result, the New Tang Empire of the United States and the Confederate States of America, a pair of unlucky eggs who were banned internationally, huddled together to keep warm!

This is really huddle for warmth, these two countries are suppressed by the big guy in the north, but since these two countries have such commonalities. It's that they even have the same enemy, but why is that Davis so arrogant?

That's right, why didn't this guy agree and reluctant at the beginning?

On this point, Li Mengyang saw it clearly early on, and when Gatlin left, the two of them had already talked about it, and Li Mengyang actually told Gatlin about Davis's various reactions. Otherwise, the inventor of this machine gun. How did you become so talkative?

Li Mengyang knows very well that although the southern government is also suppressed by the north, they simply look down on themselves, that is, the New Tang Dynasty Empire of the United States!

Who is the main government of the South?

Those are all Virginians, and Li Mengyang has known the urine nature of Virginians for a long time...... Well, except for a pretty girl...... Virginians think that they are the real representatives of the United States, and they represent the American spirit, so what kind of revolutionaries are you guys? What emperor?

You're a bunch of traitors! A real traitor!

This is really the state of mind of the Southerners, Davis really thinks so, Li Mengyang guessed all the best!

In other words, both the Southern Yankees and the New Tang Dynasty Empire were accused of being traitors by the Northern Yankees, but the traitors still looked down on the traitors, that's what it meant.

Since Li Mengyang saw it so clearly, and he still needed to complete this deal now, he naturally thought that only Gatling could complete the negotiation of this business.

Gatlin is a southerner, he knew it when Li Mengyang was in Washington, and he is also a firearms expert, that is, a technical sales in later generations, so he is the only one!

As Li Mengyang expected, Gatlin completed the task well.

This business, in terms of amount alone, is indeed not small, but in fact, Li Mengyang values other things.

Just imagine, if the Yankees defeated the Yankees now, what would be the situation of the New Tang Empire in the United States?

Needless to say?

Naturally, our nascent empire will have to face the behemoth of the United States of America directly!

Now, the Southerners are still there, they still have to pursue their own freedom, and this is a country with a population of nearly 10 million, so naturally, the Northern Union of the United States will not be able to look west to California, they must, must, first subdue the Southerners.

yes, if nothing else, Washington is so close to Richmond, why don't the two of them fight you first?

In this case, can Li Mengyang watch the southern Yankees being killed by the north?

As a student of history, even if Li Mengyang is not familiar with American history, he also knows that the turning point of the Civil War was at Gettysburg, and after this war, the vitality of the Southern Army was greatly damaged!

And the information obtained now also clearly shows that in fact, before that, the southern army was already very injured.

What are the advantages of the Southern Army?

Martial arts, there are a lot of military schools in Virginia, a lot of hot-blooded men, and there are a lot of experienced officers and veterans, let's just say that the original American domestic front, that is, the war with the Indians in Texas and New Mexico, most of them are Southerners as officers, Southerner soldiers!

These are all very valuable war treasures, and they are also important factors in the South's ability to win after the war, but now, after the Battle of Gettysburg, many of these veterans, these officers, have been consumed, let's just say that the previous cornfield, how many died?

This is also why Gettysburg has so many guns with ammunition in them, and even more with two projectiles, the advantage of the South is gone, and their only battlefield advantage is lost!

It can be said that the south is about to lose, but Li Mengyang sees that this is his opportunity!

If before Gettysburg, was it possible for Gatlin to enter President Davis's mansion? Is it possible for them to have such a private meeting?

It's impossible!

The South was winning at that time, as if it was going to win, so. Li Mengyang sued Sù Gatling. You'll wait until July. You'll have a chance to negotiate this deal when you go back to Davis in July.

To be honest, Li Mengyang didn't say why he did this, he was a traverser, but this guy Gatling was about to treat the emperor as an immortal, really, he was too godly. It's great!

all-hail-lee！ …… Gatlin often shouted in his heart, and every time he shouted like that, he would have a refreshed miracle effect......

Now, after a big war, all that the South loses is underwear, so our American New Tang Empire threw an olive branch at this time, oh, it should be said to be a lifebuoy, then it will naturally come naturally!

That's the power of this deal, on the one hand. We've made money, and we're still dealing with old stuff. That kind of revolver rifle is actually on the verge of failure, and the fighters have had all kinds of problems in the process of using it.

On the other hand, we have cultivated a force that can help us defend against strong opponents, this power...... Abbreviated as MT, or Meat Shield, yes, the Southerners are such a character now!

Li Mengyang: This is simply ...... It's so witty!

At this time, let's break it up or something! For our empire!

But in fact, there is another point, that is, the details that can be discussed in this business, the price of guns and ammunition, you know, Gatling this guy has been ordered, don't sell machine guns to the Southerners, this thing is too powerful, but, despite this, the revolver rifle is also a good product, although there are some problems, but it is several grades better than the front-loading rifles used by the Southerners before, then this thing can definitely sell at a good price.

So, do we collect money in dollars issued by the southern government?

Yes, the southern government has also issued paper money, also called dollars, which is decent, but can we ask for it?

Li Mengyang plays finance, plays currency, and plays such a slippery person, can he ask for these things that look like waste paper?

So, do we want real money?

According to intelligence, the Southern government is actually already on the verge of economic collapse, and now the price of a barrel of flour in Richmond has reached $70!

This is in the east, but it has increased nearly tenfold, so the southern government must have no real money.

Cotton, don't forget cotton, there is more cotton in the south!

Yes, this is exactly what Li Mengyang wants!

Why does Li Mengyang want cotton?

This seems a little wrong, doesn't this mean barter?

It's a step backwards!

That's right, that's the case, it's indeed a regression, Li Mengyang knows it very well, but he knows better who these cotton pieces were sold to.

O British!

Why do the British buy cotton?

Isn't it just to produce foreign cloth and dump it to China?

And this leads to the third key point of this transaction, Li Mengyang ate the cotton that originally belonged to the British, so what does he want these cottons for?

Will it be like those farmers who can't sell cotton and play with it?

This is not a joke, since the South entered the war, they still had an advantage at sea at first, but not long after, that is, the ironclad ship Virginia was challenged toughly, and the northerners took advantage of their strong industrial advantage to also build an iron-clad ship, and they built faster, so now the north has blocked the south.

If you can't sell the cotton, you start burning!

This scene is very similar to the scene in 1929 that Li Mengyang learned, anyway, it can't be sold, so it won't be given to the poor, just burn it, and this kind of incident is often seen in newspapers in the south.

Li Mengyang, of course, he won't have this leisure to burn and play, after he eats these cotton from the United States, of course, it will be to develop the textile industry of his empire!

You know, there was a textile industry in California before, and it was not bad, Li Mengyang still remembers that he once went to someone's store.

So, where do these cloths, these textiles, sell?

So where do the British sell it?

Isn't that the other side of California, the other side of the Pacific Ocean?

Right! The target of Li Mengyang's business this time is China, that is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time!

So what about it...... Isn't it true that people don't do business with us? (To be continued......)
