267 Arms sales
In July, after the imminent war between the Kingdom of Yan and the Russian Far Eastern Principality spread, in addition to the huge military pressure on Russian players and Japanese players, there is also one that is the most uncomfortable, that is, South Korean players.
Korean players are at the forefront of the battle against Japanese players in Kyushu, and they rely on the support of large quantities of arms organized by Chinese players, especially the support of the three major maritime forces closest to the Zhoushui fleet, Qingdao fleet, and Zhoushan fleet, in order to gain the upper hand. Once the Yan Kingdom and the Russian Far Eastern Principality start a war, the Zhoushui Alliance needs a large amount of military supplies to start a war with Russian players, and it is impossible to continue to supply Korean players, so the support for Korean players will definitely be much less, at least 1/3 of the supply of materials will be reduced. This has put considerable pressure on Korean players.
On the eve of the war, almost all the players in the Yan Kingdom began to mobilize.
Tianjin, an important military industrial town controlled by the Zhoushui Alliance, began to receive a steady and substantial increase in ordnance orders, and almost all player power organizations with insufficient production capacity came here to buy the most sophisticated iron weapons and ordnance.
And the scattered merchants and players in the walled cities around the country also took advantage of the fact that the war had not yet started, and came to buy goods in bulk, planning to transport them to the front line to sell them at a high price and make a lot of money. The merchant players rode horse-drawn carts loaded with large quantities of ordnance produced in Tianjin City, left Tianjin City and drove along the wide main road to Liaodong and Tanggukou. From Route 6 and waterway transportation to the walled city along the Sino-Russian border.
Such a hot scene of arms sales made the sheep and nameless of the Zhoushui Alliance almost close their mouths. Only the "Sino-Russian War" was used to activate the domestic arms market in the entire Yan State. The original backwater-like sluggish Yan*huo market became popular all of a sudden, and the sales volume almost increased by more than 100% in just a few days, and it is still growing rapidly, which is extremely beneficial to the exhibition of the Zhoushui Alliance.
It seems that war is indeed the best means of stimulating arms sales.
Sheep, nameless, etc., couldn't help but feel great admiration for Xiaobai's decisive start of the national war and letting the war burn when it was most needed. The production capacity of Tianjin, an important military industrial town, is enough to meet the surplus demand of the domestic player market. It is a good opportunity to seize the domestic arms market and realize the rapid expansion of Tianjin. The envoy arrived at the Khabarovsk Castle, met with the Grand Duke of the Russian Far East, and presented the credentials of Yan. The Grand Duke rejected King Yan's request to submit to the Emperor of Zhou and become a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty.
Yan and the Principalities of the Far East; At the same time, another announcement came from the Zhou royal family, in which Zhou Tianzi allowed King Yan to adopt the policy of respecting the king and allowing other princes to adopt the same national policy.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and players throughout China were excited and boiling. Zhou Tianzi not only allowed the Yan Kingdom to have the power to wage war with foreign countries. It also gave other vassal states the right to wage war against foreign countries.
The start of a national war between Yan and the Russian Far East Principality is already a sure thing, and all that remains is to choose the best time to start a war. The day of war had to be decided by the King of Yan himself, or by the Grand Duke of the Russian Far East, if the Grand Duke intended to take the initiative to start a national war. Sikong Qin Xiaobai, the senior generals of the Zhoushui Alliance, and the generals of the top ten newly formed Yan Kingdom player group armies, 6 continued to arrive in Harbin City, Heilongjiang. There are also countless player private armies, who also do not come in person, and want to get a piece of the pie in the national war.
This is a city built by the player organization of Heilongjiang, and it is also the largest and most magnificent city in Heilongjiang, and it is the core city of Heilongjiang. You can master the territory of thousands of miles in the surrounding area.
At this point, the city has hundreds of thousands of player armies. And outside the city, there are countless armies. The barracks tents were overwhelming, and the transport carriages were like a long dragon, extending from the four gates of the walled city to four different sides, and the materials were in the rolling sound of the wheels. Assigned to be transported to different places.
The national war headquarters of the Yan Kingdom. It is located in this city.
The Great Sima Leyi, in the mansion in the city, all the military tasks of the national war were handed over to each player legion to carry out. Because the war has not yet officially begun, it is still mainly deployed some auxiliary tasks such as "transporting a batch of materials to the frontline walled cities, building military works, erecting bridges, detecting the enemy's situation, and conducting exploratory attacks." The military affairs of the entire local walled city and the military affairs of the players in Heilongjiang have been taken over by Le Yi, and everything must serve the national war.
After Qin Xiaobai arrived in Harbin, he did not stay here for long, but followed several players in Heilongjiang to the forefront of the border - Fuyuan Walled City. Check out the military situation on the ground. The border between the Yan Kingdom and the Russian Far Eastern Principalities. Separated by a large river, it is the "Heilongjiang River". Hexi is the boundary of Yan Kingdom. The east of the river is the territory of the Russian Far Eastern principalities.
The Fuyuan Walled City is by the river, it is the closest walled city to the Russian principality, and after dozens of miles of the river, it is the capital of the Far Eastern Principality - Khabarovsk. One of the most powerful large castles in the Russian Far East.
The Fuyuan Walled City is the forefront of the Yan State against the Russian Far Eastern Principality. There are already hundreds of thousands of Yan player armies deployed in the vicinity of this walled city, making various pre-war preparations for river crossing, bridge building, and siege.
Qin Xiaobai and dozens of other players led to the Fuyuan Walled City and followed the river to understand the situation. The strongest player in Fuyuan Walled City, Da Ling Hanzhu, also accompanied him and introduced the details of this place to Qin Xiaobai.
Hanzhu said: "Once China and Russia go to war, this will definitely be the first place to break out into battle. As long as we cross the river and take the capital of the Russian Far Eastern Principality, then the players of the entire Russian Far Eastern Principality will lose their unified command, which is basically the end of it. ”
Qin Xiaobai strolled and walked, nodded, and said, "How is the deployment of troops in the Russian Far East?" ”
Han Zhu said: "The geographical location here is extremely important, the Russian player army is mainly deployed in this Khabarovsk castle, with a total strength of no less than four or five hundred thousand, and their armament is not bad, mainly bronze armament, the number is very large. Our player army in Fuyuan Walled City often fights them, and their army is very difficult to deal with. They're much more heavily guarded these days, with plenty of NPC patrols near the riverbank, guarding us day and night. A sneak attack is almost impossible, and you can only cross the river to attack. ”
Qin Xiaobai stopped at a high slope, looked at the vast river, and said with a smile: "The river here is 1 mile wide, and the river is complicated, I am afraid that it will cost a lot to attack." ”
Hanzhu said: "Yes, this is also a helpless thing. It is impossible to take the number one town of the Russian Far Eastern principalities without paying a huge price. Little white brother, if we need a batch of heavy equipment specially used for siege, I don't know how much you can supply here? ”
Qin Xiaobai smiled: "Hehe, this is no problem. Tianjin City specially manufactured a number of large-scale siege catapults, stone throwers, and crash vehicles, which were developed at a huge cost and were used to break this kind of fortified city. This batch of heavy ordnance has been divided into parts and shipped onto the ship several days ago, and it is being transported here, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to be delivered to Harbin, and it will not take much time to transport it here, and it will be completely timely in time. After our army has besieged Khabarovsk, they will be able to reach Fuyuan City. ”
Han Zhu laughed and said, "Little White Brother's deployment is really thorough, and it doesn't leak. It seems that there was a plan to attack Russia for a long time. I wonder how many of these heavy equipment there are in the little white brother? I'm going to sell a few to try the power. ”
Qin Xiaobai laughed and said, "How many? Hehe, Brother Hanzhu, don't be too stingy. Why do you have to take hundreds of them! ”
Han Zhu was taken aback, "Hundreds? Little White Brother has so many heavy engineers? Uh, don't you use it yourself? ”
Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "My 6th Army is far away at Tanggukou, and it is impossible for me to come here to participate in the war in person, at most I will send the navy to fight the Russian fleet in Vladivostok." These siege equipment are naturally to be sold to the generals who participated in the battle on the front line. There are no less than a thousand of these siege equipment, and if Brother Hanzhu wants it, I can sell you a hundred. ”
Han Zhu was dumbfounded, he couldn't have imagined that the number of siege equipment transported by Qin Xiaobai was so huge, as high as thousands, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to sell them. "I don't know how much a siege machine costs?"
Qin Xiaobai said: "It's not much, it's 150,000 copper coins." ”
Han Zhu was startled, and quickly shook his head: "It's too expensive, and a fighting ship is about the same price." If I buy a hundred, I'm afraid I'm going to go bankrupt. ”
Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "Brother Hanzhu, taking Khabarovsk is the best time to make the greatest contribution in the national war." The rewards of the national war are land and castles, maybe King Yan will directly reward you with the Khabarovsk castle. Of course, if you don't want it, I won't force it. There are twenty or thirty castles in the Russian Far East, and my siege equipment is absolutely not worried about sales. However, this kind of opportunity to break the city is probably going to be snatched away by others. ”
Hanzhu thought about it for a moment, obviously caught in a contradiction. Heavy equipment is too expensive and too expensive. But without these heavy equipment, it is difficult to break through the fortified city. Finally, he made up his mind: "Let's book twenty first, see how it works, and buy more if it's good!" ”
Qin Xiaobai laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, I'm sure you won't regret it. Let's take a look elsewhere and see how the Russian player's army is deployed. ”
