11.10 Leading Arms Dealers Sell 'Services'
April 7, 659 in the electrical calendar.
Zhao Xuanwei's southern expedition was successful, and the Sandstorm group successfully occupied a stronghold in the Qianao Island area in the south. In order to consolidate the ground he had built, Zhao Xuanwei had to deal with affairs locally on Qianao Island. But at this time there was some news from the rear.
News 1: It is the problem of Zhao Xuanxuan's own family, and the Zhao family now wants to leave a branch inheritance in the east. And Zhao Xuanyu's formation of the sandstorm group was not favored by the Zhao family at the beginning, but with the support of the Zhejiang-Ning consortium in the south, and a big victory, there were signs of development, and the Zhao family came over very well-informed.
News 2: That is the local families in Penghai, and now there are also small actions. These Penghai local nobles didn't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps from the beginning.
If there is a situation in his hometown, he naturally wants to turn back and operate, but Zhao Xuanwei can't leave.
He was distressed in his heart, and happened to see Su Ying fishing in the mountains of Qianao Island and not doing his job - Su Ying: "I am collecting ore specimens and product data. ”
At the same time, I saw that Su Ying ran to the prisoner of war camp with nothing to do, and it seemed that he was very interested in the noble mushroom Liang of the sea humans, and Su Ying was young, so this would not work-Su Ying: "Phew, I am investigating the history of sea humans, your younger brother." ”
In short, Zhao Xuanwei decided to send Su Ying back to watch the scene, in fact, only Su Eagle (ontology) around Zhao Xuanwei can meet the three conditions for watching the scene:
First, he will not be affected by his family and the local noble family - Su Ying is usually very withdrawn, and he basically can't talk to the upper echelons of Penghai.
Second, if you are loyal enough not to betray yourself, Su Ying is from a clean background, and there is no shadow of other families, even if there is, there has been no contact for so many years, and it is estimated that the door is completely independent. In the political situation in which the Maison occupies the home field, it is necessary to be consistent with himself.
Third, there is a deterrent ability to control the army - the Great Wall represents a combat force that cannot be ignored, and all groups of personnel within an army will never dare to think carefully under the premise of not being able to deal with Su Ying, because it is equivalent to being a deserter under the nose of the machine gun law enforcement team. And in the Heyuan region where the Eastern Continent is vying for hegemony, as long as the Great Wall is not perverse, it has enough authority as the commander to coordinate the army.
At the same time, only Su Ying meets these three points.
[On August 3, on the sandstorm harbor, three old destroyers and a large number of merchant ships arrived at the port]
Su Ying, dressed in a mechanical combat suit, stood on the bow of the ship and watched the side of the ship approach the dock little by little. This combat uniform is a complete version of the battle uniform that Su Ying raided the building four years ago.
The stealth module was loaded, the ceramic bulletproof composite module was loaded, the mechanical muscle power was increased, the weight was increased to twelve kilograms, and of course the power was increased to twelve horsepower.
In order to maintain speed, there is no bloat. The average thickness of the whole body is about 1.5 centimeters, except for the two rows of 3-centimeter bulges on the back, the appearance is basically smooth.
Elbows, heels, and shoulders are filled with ballpoint refill-sized exhaust outlets, dozens of which are in a row, spraying air currents and the residue of aluminum battery discharge every few seconds, making a humming sound like a computer fan.
Now Su Ying jumped from the side of the boat to the pier fifteen meters away. - Ordinary people must not learn this action, once they stumble and fall, the ship continues to move forward under the huge inertia, which can squeeze people into meatloaf.
Twenty minutes later, the port began to get busy.
Tens of meters of steel cranes and pumping steel cables unload containers from ships. While there were still a large number of dock workers who relied on manual unloading in other ports, this port has been fully mechanized for unloading.
The harvest of this southern expedition was enormous, and a large number of scarce resources were replenished.
For example, the ship where Su Ying was just now was refined tungsten ore, tin ore, antimony ore, followed by nickel, molybdenum and rare earth minerals.
In this world, although the industrial scale of each country stays at the level of European countries before World War II, the material technology is very high. The material production method in the field of alloy steel has been studied by various machinist families on land, but there is no large-scale production application.
And now these scarce materials and metals mean that the Sandstorm Group's military technology tree can continue to rise to the next level. The 'readout' of the tech tree here only takes a few months.
The reason is that there is no need for huge experiments and research and development, and the equipment can be directly replaced, such as ordinary lathes with higher precision, and the equipment for casting cannons is replaced with electric furnaces, and then mechanics can be recruited and workers can be trained.
Su Ying squatted on the twenty-meter-high iron tower and looked down at the port. After the boxes of minerals were sorted and transported to the train, the individual missiles (guided rockets) they were holding were placed on their backs.
Then he looked at the buildings within 1,500 meters around the port, smiled and waved his hand, as if to greet a friend, and said, "I'm busy here, you continue." ”
And this action turned the spies who were peeking into the harbor from afar turned nervousness to crying and laughing.
These spies came to the port three days ago and came to wait for Zhao Xuanxuan's return material ship. And before the hull of the ship went ashore, Su Ying locked them with the domain.
It is unknown what the guns were originally intended for.
But as long as they dared to take the gun to the window, Su Ying, who was sitting on the tower, carried the missile and turned to face them. As long as they put the gun close to the window, Su Ying will definitely be able to shoot the homing rocket.
So when they unloaded the goods, they didn't do anything, and of course they didn't dare to escape, in front of the Great Wall, they couldn't escape. Running away means that there is a ghost in your heart.
[These people belong to the family, and these families are now full of compromise and weakness - their attitude towards Sandstorm Harbor and Zhao Xuanyu is very complicated]
When Zhao Xuanwei became a general, these local nobles were congratulated at first, but Zhao Xuanxuan, the kid, showed that he did not support his sister's marriage with the local people.
The Zhao family built industries and port economies in the local area, but from 657 onwards, the purchase channels for various raw materials were blocked, and the commercial channels for producing supplies could not be sold. The local wang clan tried to use this soft method to force Zhao Xuanyu to comply.
But this kind of commercial strangulation of the sandstorm port, with Ye Piaocai coming over to send money and send the fleet, and the southern trade route was opened, this plan went bankrupt directly.
The hottest trade in the world is the arms trade, but the profits are different in how arms are sold and how they are sold.
Selling arms to people who want to fight is a third-rate arms dealer.
Selling arms to the enemy is a second-rate arms dealer.
A first-class arms dealer, on the other hand, has an army that can fight, supply its own troops, and provide "market services" - military protection to the outside world.
And on the Blue Star, the biggest arms dealer is still the five hooligans after all.
The production capacity of the five hooligans is the largest in the world, and although some are also sold out, the most important thing is to use it for its own army and provide 'market services'. Well, if you don't buy it, you'll die, it seems, a little, buy and sell.
Buying rabbit weapons is basically concentrated in a circle of surrounding countries. As for the surrounding countries, which basically bought rabbit weapons and signed trade chains, although there are sometimes disturbances from the outside world, the regimes are very stable.
As for US imperialism, needless to say, as long as the Middle East buys the military protection services of US imperialism, even if it is only a chieftaincy and a dark feudal royal system, there is no need to worry about being overthrown!
Now that the industry in Sandstorm Harbor has been converted into a military industry, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy, because the chaebols in the south will pay for it. And the "service industry" market of Sandstorm Harbor, the local noble family wants to use traditional commercial means to curb it, well, that's impossible.
……
After the last box of minerals was delivered to the train, Su Ying jumped from the twenty-meter-high tower, and when the combat suit landed, the power suddenly increased, and rows of sparks shot out from the elbow and exhaust port.
Su Ying used the elastic system of his leg suit to unload the impact of the high-altitude landing, twisted his ankle and walked towards his car. On the road to the pier, a man dressed as a deacon came by,
He walked in front of Su Eagle, so that Su Eagle's pace had to slow down.
The deacon respectfully handed over the invitation. He said, "Mr. Su Ying, the patriarch of our family is looking forward to seeing you tonight. ”
Su Ying picked up the invitation and looked through it, and found that it was his name, sneered, stabbed, and tore the invitation in half. This caused the deacon to open his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Su Ying said lazily: "You write a new copy, send it to the foreign affairs department, and talk to you, it is not my responsibility." ”
Su Ying was stunned by this person, and slowly walked away, without saying a word of nonsense to them.
Su Ying personally (as a light spirit) formulated the order of the Sandstorm Group, and would not destroy this order with his own hands. Only when each group performs its own duties and does not encroach on each other can order and stability be maintained.
If Su Ying accepted the invitation of these noble clans, although he could explain the situation to Zhao Xuanwei and would not be suspicious of Zhao Xuanxuan, it would be equivalent to tearing a hole in the order of the group.
These local families were able to meet privately with various parts of the Sandstorm group. In other words, local families can infiltrate and buy every part of the Sandstorm group. Then the team will disperse.
And Su Ying's decision to determine the relationship between the Sandstorm Group and the outside family can be done through Zhao Xuanwei. Zhao Xuanwei obeyed Su Ying's words and was almost Su Ying's "game controller".
Therefore, if Su Ying uses his body to communicate with these families, it is like typing with his tongue - it is extremely inappropriate.
……
In the sea north of Qianao Island, a crescent-shaped island, three destroyers came here. Zhao Xuanyu looked at the island in the distance and asked Su Ying on his shoulder, "Ling, why are you in such a hurry to let me come here?" ”
Su Ying Guangling jumped from Zhao Xuanyu's shoulder to his head, cocked Erlang's legs, and said, "Explore and discover, there may be an important resource here"
Zhao Xuanwei was slightly puzzled: "Important resources? This is the territory close to the sea humans, no matter how important the resources are, can we grab them from under the noses of the sea humans? ”
Su Ying waved his hand and said, "This resource sea humans don't want it, because they are afraid of the curse." ”
Zhao Xuanyu asked puzzledly, "Curse?" ”
Su Ying: "Yes, put on a lead-mounted armor suit and go up and have a look." ”
[This dates back to a month ago, when the Su Eagle's body walked around the sea human nobles captive camp very frequently, and was close to these sea human captives to find out the news]
Of course, because a woman's psychological defense line is the best to break through, Su Ying has stepped up her efforts. For example, silk clothes, these are things that are not available in the sea, and after Jiao Xin felt interested, Su Ying sent many sets in a row.
Huang Tian lived up to his wishes, and this mushroom Liang told Su Ying a lot of important news - including the story of Crescent Bay.
Crescent Bay, it is said that it was once the place where the ancient gods sealed the artifact, but due to the collapse of the artifact, a terrible curse was finally formed.
The ancient artifact is no longer known to have gone, but according to the accounts of some unfortunate people who broke into Crescent Bay, there is a strange green fluorescent crystal everywhere in Crescent Bay, and this crystal is called Chlorocrystal.
Now a small boat was put down from the battleship. Zhao Xuanxuan, who was wearing a special mechanical combat suit, and dozens of people landed on this small island with guns.
The island is very quiet and there are not many plants so much that the ground is bare.
Zhao Xuanwei looked at the same ring-shaped stone pile on the crescent moon ring island, and muttered, "This is the remains of the rock city wall. ”
Then he picked up a rock with smooth edges and corners, which had been polished into pebbles by the wind and rain, but its material was clearly fired in a brick kiln. Moreover, the bottom of these piles of stones with lost edges and corners is kept staggered and stacked.
Su Ying looked at the island: "Well, it's a ruin, we didn't come to the wrong place." ”
Zhao Xuanwei was surprised: "Since it is a relic, why is there never a nautical chart mark?" ”
Su Ying said faintly: "That's because I encountered something that shouldn't be touched on the island, and then I died directly, and the dead people will not spread." ”
Zhao Xuanwei was terrified, suddenly stopped and looked at the light spirit, and asked, "What do you want to do when you bring me to this unclean place?" The surrounding soldiers saw Zhao Xuanyu suddenly stop and immediately entered the alert.
Su Ying sneered and said, "Don't worry, there are no ghosts, it's just that the things here may be dangerous, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may be poisoned." ”
Zhao Xuanwei paused, and then instructed the soldiers around him: "Everyone be careful, don't touch the strange things on the island, there is something strange in this place." ”
Ten minutes later, the team walked up to the pile of broken bricks and rubbles that had once been a huge ring wall. At the top of the pile, everyone looked into the ring, and everyone was shocked by what they saw.
The orderly shallow ponds are distributed in an orderly manner within the island, and due to weathering, there are no vertical traces on the edge of each pond, but smooth shallows. However, the distribution of the word "Tian" indicates that it is man-made.
The pond contains a large amount of sand and a shallow pond. The water is so clear and glowing that you can't help but want to enter it. Of course, it's not surprising to taste the water without anyone reminding you.
Just when everyone was shocked by this beautiful scene.
Su Yingguangling: "This is an abandoned land. ”
Zhao Xuanxuan's curiosity was aroused: "What wasteland?" ”
Su Ying couldn't help but mutter: "Twenty thousand years ago, in the God-given era, it was a powerful weapon in the hands of human beings. The creation of death mounds in the Meteorite Moon Basin is a sign of the use of this weapon. This technology can also be used to generate electricity and become an energy system for some large weapons. ”
Zhao Xuanwei interrupted Su Ying's self-talk: "Spirit? ”
Su Ying: "Huh? ”
Zhao Xuanyu: "You, from?" ”
Su Ying: "I'm here now. ”
