Like Prince Mustafa before him, Aziz also saw the training of Imperial soldiers when he visited the Imperial military camp in the Cairo Concession.

The ping-pong muskets, the choking smell of gunsmoke, the orderly procession, and the military uniforms that were not flashy but looked pleasing to the eye, all made Aziz and his entourage very surprised and shocked.

In particular, the power of the musket was an eye-opener for them.

At this time, the Europeans had already equipped muskets into combat units, but the number of them was not very large, and it was not widespread among every soldier.

But it is undeniable that in the Spanish phalanx they are still using, there is such a class as musketeers.

And, because he saw the power of the Imperial Musketeers, he learned how to fight with five dans. Europeans, who have already begun to pay attention to muskets.

But here in the Arab world it is different.

They are still fighting with cold weapons.

But this is not surprising, after all, there are no minerals on the Arab side, not even raw materials or anything, and it is impossible for them to learn from the Europeans.

At the same time, because the information is not very developed, it is not surprising that they cannot know so much about some of the military changes that are now taking place in Europe.

Therefore, when they saw the power of the musket, how could Aziz not be shocked.

This is a normal thing.

The fact that Imperial soldiers in training could use their muskets to penetrate a pair of armored targets placed two hundred paces away was more than just shocking to Aziz.

It was a shock!

The armor used as a target looks very well made, and at a glance, you can tell that it cannot be destroyed with an ordinary sword.

However, the musket easily pierced through the armor's defenses, shooting a wide hole in the wood inside.

If this hits people, then you can know with your little toes that the target will definitely not be good.

I really can't think of it. The Empire has such a powerful weapon.

Strictly speaking, the Ottomans also had muskets.

However, the Ottomans had a very strict control over the muskets, and they would not flow into the Arab region at all, so that those tribes could have them.

Moreover, in terms of the technology of making muskets, the Ottomans were much worse than the Europeans.

Therefore, the number of musketeers in the Ottomans' army was much smaller than that of the Europeans.

It is precisely for this reason that tribes like Aziz behind them. I've heard of muskets, but I've never seen them.

It is not surprising that they suddenly turned into stunned turtles after seeing the muskets and their power.

Looking at Aziz and their turtle faces, Ma Bond's heart secretly refreshed.

Oops!

It is unthinkable that the absolute local tyrants in the future will be like turtles.

You know, in the modern society in another time and space, these guys living in the Persian Gulf region are absolute tyrants.

Because of the amazing wealth buried under the barren desert, it can be said that as long as they are of the ethnic group here, then their life can be said to be very comfortable.

And not to mention those in high positions. Their lives are even more luxurious.

What kind of gold jewelry and famous brands, here and there have become rotten street things.

But now let's see...... Well, they're far from that.

"Dear Governor, will all the soldiers of the Empire use such weapons in battle?"

Aziz asked respectfully at this time.

I saw the military training of the soldiers. Having already felt something extraordinary about the Empire, Aziz already had a general idea in his heart.

It is precisely because of this relationship that he has to be more respectful when facing Ma Bond.

Ma Bond nodded proudly: "Yes." The soldiers of our empire, each of them will send a musket to fight. At the same time, they will be equipped with a fine war knife and dagger......"

Speaking of the equipment of the soldiers of the Imperial Army. That really made Aziz, who listened to Ma Bond's story, feel envious.

Tyrants!

This is definitely a local tyrant.

I really can't imagine that the empire is so rich.

The basic equipment of ordinary soldiers can throw out their tribal warriors a few deserts so far.

But looking back, if they leaned on such a big tree, wouldn't the tribe behind them have a good time in the future?

You know, why is it a little brother?

Isn't it still to be able to rely on a powerful 'big brother'?

In the past, it was their bad luck, and the eldest brother was the Ottomans.

Now the empire should not be like the Ottomans, so as long as they are loyal, then the empire will definitely not treat them badly, right?

If you think about it this way, the empire is rich and powerful, and it is definitely a good thing for them.

"I guess if I could, could I buy some weapons on behalf of the tribe?"

Aziz thought for a moment and asked nervously.

Seriously, Aziz didn't know anything about it, he knew at a glance that the musket was the Empire's weapon of destruction, and it was an absolutely powerful weapon for combat.

In ordinary countries, weapons of war, such as muskets, will not be taken out and sold casually.

Even if it's like him, he has already said that he wants to take refuge.

After all, you have to keep your country strong, just in case.

From another point of view, if your own tribe has this kind of weapon, then even if the alliance tribe wants to buy it, your own tribe will not be able to sell it.

Therefore, although Aziz opened his mouth to ask, in fact, he did not have any bottom in his own heart.

Unexpectedly, Ma Bond smiled and replied, which made Aziz suddenly feel his eyes open.

"Oh, are you interested in muskets? If it's a small amount, I think it should be fine, and I can make the decision. Actually, you can buy a large number of muskets, but I don't have a lot of muskets here, and there is a certain limit to what can be sold, if you can wait for some time, then even if you want to buy 100,000 muskets, you can do it. ”

I'm going to go!

Isn't there such a good thing?

I really don't dare to joke about this!

Aziz's heart was beating faster, poof, poof. He felt dizzy himself.

Originally, he thought that the other party would reject him, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

These muskets are extremely powerful, and if they can be bought back and equipped for the warriors of the tribe, then the strength of his tribe will suddenly be able to increase by a few grades.

Then, in response to some turmoil and changes in the Cuman region in the future, the tribe will also be able to have a little more power to protect itself, right?

"You~ You're not kidding, are you?"

Although he had received a response from Ma Bond, Aziz still couldn't believe it.

After all, how could a weapon as powerful as a musket be casually sold.

But. After getting another response from Ma Bond, Aziz had to believe that it was true.

"Don't worry, there's no need for me to deceive you about this. Moreover, the musket is also a commodity of our empire to the outside world, and it can be taken out and sold. ”

The arms business empire is not going to do nothing.

Besides, the muskets that the Empire took out to sell were not the ones that were now equipped for the army. It's a little bit of a little improved, and it's not so convenient to use, but it looks the same.

After all. The Empire must also ensure that it is able to be ahead of the nations in weapons.

However, if you take out those inferior goods that have undergone some changes, are defective in quality and use, and are not easy to see, then the empire will not refuse.

That's a lot of money.

Besides. What is the most profitable commodity for a country's foreign goods, it must be arms.

Therefore, the empire will not be so brainless and give up such a lucrative business.

"I don't know how much you need?"

Marbond could see it. The old man who was following him really wanted to buy a musket.

It's just that Ma Bond estimates that Aziz belongs to the tribe. That's just over 5,000 people. How many muskets can such a tribe buy?

If you are full, you can buy five or six hundred muskets.

Even if they say that they will move the tribes they have united to buy together, it will only be three or four thousand after a few more times.

This amount is really not beaten.

At the same time, you have to consider the purchasing power of these tribes.

You know, the tribes in the desert areas of this period were poor to death.

Since there is nothing of value in the desert, what can these tribes give to buy muskets?

Therefore, based on this consideration, it is estimated that even if these tribes are united, they can only buy two or three hundred muskets.

In other words, the tribes behind Aziz and their alliances, each tribe buying dozens of muskets is their real purchasing power.

Not to mention, the price of taking out the musket and selling it to the official empire is very high, even if it is smuggling, it is not cheap.

For several reasons, it was impossible for Aziz to withstand many muskets even if they were bleeding profusely.

Of course, there is another factor that Ma Bond has to consider, that is, the sale of muskets must not allow the empire to be in the Cuman region that is about to be taken over, which will lead to a decline in the military deterrent power of the empire.

"I wonder how much the musket costs?"

Calming down the excitement in his heart, Aziz began to ask him the most relevant question.

Although Governor Mabond said that muskets could be sold, in Aziz's opinion, such a powerful weapon should definitely not be so cheap.

Sure enough, when Ma Bond talked about the price of the musket, it immediately made Aziz gasp.

Sixty gold for a musket, you can pay for it in gold louis or dinar or Cheney...... (To be continued......)
