Speaking of food, Siwicks couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart.

The dark-haired, mysterious young merchant, though he had made an agreement with them, and provided them with food on a regular basis, so that the rebel legion could avoid the devastating consequences of the food.

However, the amount of food provided by this guy at a time was only enough to feed hundreds of thousands of rebels for three days. In other words, the grain bought will be eaten up in three days.

If the other side does not continue to provide food, then the rebel army will still fall into a great crisis.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Siwicks always feels that the other party seems to have a hand.

In this regard, Siwicks also asked the other party tentatively.

The reason given by the other side is very reasonable, because of the war, the Mediterranean Sea is not calm.

The fleets of the Ottomans and the European nations fought fiercely in the Mediterranean, so maritime commerce came to a complete standstill.

It's good that he's able to get food.

At least it's relatively stable.

The commercial route by land had been completely closed by the Ottomans.

Every time he got enough food for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for three days, he had already exerted his strength to eat milk.

Hearing the other party's explanation, Siwicks thought about it carefully, and it was not unreasonable.

Therefore, even if he would have such an idea, he was eventually suppressed.

It's just that the other party has maintained a stable supply of food and has not delayed the transaction at all. From this, Sywicks also saw some intriguing points, that is, the other party's supply channels are very stable, and if they can, they can and have the ability to expand the supply.

It's just that this is the other party's secret, and it's not easy to ask yourself.

And, looking at the attitude of the other party, it seems that he has not thought about expanding the supply to himself. Maybe there is some caution in thinking about the ability to pay for it yourself, and you are afraid that you won't be able to pay for the food you can't pay for, right?

Ultimately. Siwicks himself gave a reasonable explanation, which was a comfort to himself.

In fact, what Sywicks didn't know was that the young man who traded with him didn't want to expand the deal at all, nor did he lack the ability to expand the size of the deal.

The reason for maintaining this level of trade was only to facilitate the control of the rebel army.

Think about it, the food supply is controlled by the other side, and as long as the other party is unhappy, the supply can be cut off. If such a thing happens, it will have a great impact on the rebels.

After all, in addition to the fighters in the rebel army. There are also many more old, weak, sick and women.

These people also need to consume a lot of food every day.

And the top brass of the rebel army did not dare to ignore these people, after all, these people's husbands, sons and brothers had all joined the rebel army to fight.

Then, if their families are not well cared for, the rebels will inevitably become unstable.

It was for this reason that every time the young man came to deliver the food in person, he was treated as a guest of honor by the high brass of the rebel army.

These people are afraid that if they don't greet them well, they will offend this important guy and cut off their important food source.

What's more. Every time this young man came, he would bring some information.

While some of this information was insignificant, some of it was very important to the rebels.

Based on all of the above, how could Siwicks not pay attention to this partner.

Don't look at how well they're going now. And they are about to conquer Jafiburg, and then march into the capital of Hungary.

But you must also know that even if you occupy the entire Hungarian principality, it will be for a long time to come. They still need the young businessman to provide a steady supply of food.

For the Hungarians, they were invaders.

And, after occupying Hungary. It is not possible to resume production for a period of time.

Even if production resumes, it will be up to two years.

Now that the time for spring planting is over, it means that it is too late for people to sow seeds this year.

Moreover, this is only if they can take full control of Hungary and the people obey the law.

Therefore, this blank period of one to two years is still undercounted.

With this in mind, it is indispensable to have a stable food supplier.

For this point, the young man of the Imperial Chinese Intelligence Department, who pretended to be a businessman, understood it very well.

All he was doing now was to maintain a friendly relationship with Siwicks and the others, and to increase the level of mutual trust between them.

After Siwicks and they really control the territory of the Hungarian principality, he will slowly unfold the plan of the intelligence department and let Siwicks and them play a greater role.

And in order to be able to get Siwicks to follow some of their advice, food must be a very advantageous means.

Unless West Wicks they are willing to go hungry.

However, this is unlikely.

And having occupied the Hungarian principality, Siwicks they can also be regarded as offending the Church military group.

Then, Siwicks and they will definitely not be able to buy a large amount of supplies and food from Europe to supply their survival.

Even Jewish businessmen who could do anything for money would take the risk of doing business with them.

But none of these merchants are very large, and they also have to take a lot of risks. If the church found out, the businessmen who were involved with West Weeks would not end well.

So, without themselves, West Wicks didn't have many options.

After all, the empire doesn't have to look at the face of the church, and the empire is economically strong and its military power is growing.

Now that Europe is in chaos, Asia is beginning to show some signs.

The greedy Ottomans, seeing an opportunity to benefit from the chaos of Europe, rushed to join.

But they knew that if they joined in, they would suffer a loss.

It can be said that the more chaotic this world is, the more beneficial it is for the development of the Song Empire.

It's best if all the countries are in turmoil, and it's best for them to have no time to be distracted at sea.

Then when the empire develops to a certain extent and occupies the sea and becomes the hegemon, even if the countries react, it is useless.

Originally, according to the intentions of the Imperial Military Department and the Ministry of Intelligence. It's just a mess of Europe. But no one thought that the Ottomans would rush to join in.

Therefore, if you don't do anything, the empire simply calculates the Ottomans.

After all, the future empire also needs to fight for an area under the control of the Ottoman Empire.

Wouldn't it be nice to use this opportunity to weaken the Ottomans and make some trouble for them?

Except for the Imperial Intelligence Department and the Military Department, as well as some special departments of Chinese descent who know about these, there are not many people of Chinese origin.

At least. The Europeans living in the Americas, and the few North African Arab merchants who came to do business, did not get the slightest word of it.

The uprising of the Serbs gave the empire a chance.

Although the communication technology is not very developed now, the governor of the Cairo Concession, Ma Bangde, grasped this very well and quickly made some arrangements.

In this way, the intelligence department of the Cairo Concession got in touch with Siwicks and began to support them in the guise of the grain trade.

Yes, support.

Don't look at West Wicks, they buy food. That's paid.

But the problem is that now in the situation and environment of Ether, no one dares to do business with them, even if they have money.

Even the great merchants among the Jews did not dare.

Small traders are willing to take risks, but they are not able to provide much food. And it's also very unstable.

You must know that the chaotic wars in European countries have seriously affected people's livelihood.

The Europeans themselves were in great demand for food, and the merchants simply had at their disposal a shortage of food. And it's also very insured.

So, who's going to deal with someone like Sywicks?

The devil knows when the rebels will be destroyed, and no one in the rebels knows if they will be able to get the money.

In case he sells food to the rebels. Wouldn't it be a big loss for the rebels not to pay?

You know, the risks involved in trading with the rebels are huge.

If there is not a large enough stake, no one will take the risk.

Therefore, taking all things into consideration, only doing business with this Chinese young man is the best choice.

After all, the supply is stable, and its prices are reasonable.

If it were a different merchant, not to mention whether the other party would be able to provide food stably, the price alone would definitely not be affordable for the rebels.

So, for this Chinese businessman, West Wicks is helpless and likes.

Unfortunately, the other side was unable to expand the amount of grain and only provided three days of food at a time.

What I like is that the supply of the other party is stable and the price is not high.

When Sywicks mentioned food, he thought of many, many things at once.

"I have been informed by the people sent by the other party that the other party's food will be able to reach the camp at dusk. At the same time, the other party asked, are we ready for food? ”

Receiving a response, Siwicks smiled wryly.

The other party really wants money, but he can't say anything wrong.

After all, the price given by the other party is very reasonable, and the grain is not that kind of inferior old rice.

What else can I say about this?

The other party demanded that the goods should be paid once they arrived, and they were resolutely not allowed to default, and Siwicks could actually understand it.

"Let the people below hurry up and get the money ready, and at the same time count how much money we have left. Maybe we need to order a batch of weapons from the other side. ”

Yes, the fall of Jafiburg is imminent, so after the capture of Yafiburg, it is necessary to march into the capital of Hungary.

Well, before that, the rebel army also needs to change its outfit and upgrade, right?

At this moment, a cavalryman dressed in inferior leather armor came galloping from a distance.

When the cavalryman was still some distance from Syvix, he stopped his horse from his crotch, turned over from above, and trotted all the way.

"Chief, someone has a white flag at the head of Fort Yaffi!" (To be continued......)
