ACT075: A visit by the Germans
To be honest, Zhao Jian is actually very entangled in his heart. On the one hand, out of conscience, he hoped to help the Ethiopians win the war against aggression, but he was worried that this would lead to a "butterfly effect" that would cause history to develop in a direction completely unfamiliar to him in the future, so he now intends to take a compromise route.
Since Dai Li had already revealed to himself that the bottom limit of the top was to control Haile Selassie, then Zhao Jian simply persuaded the other party to think in this direction as soon as possible.
"陛xià! Today's international situation should also be seen, the European society is a nest of snakes and rats, Italy's aggression against your country, Britain and France can basically be said to turn a blind eye. Although Germany has given you limited assistance out of its own interests, it is a defeated country after all, and it is impossible for them to stand in front of the stage and openly support you. ”
"Mr. Zhuge , what you are suddenly telling me now, is it the words that the Tang government asked you to bring to me?"
After all, he was a politician, and Selassie I quickly heard the implicit message from Zhao Jian's words.
Now that Ethiopia is isolated internationally, if the eastern power is willing to lend a helping hand to them, with their strength, it will definitely be easy to turn the tide of the war.
"How can there be no one up there for a business like mine! It was also out of morality that I went to probe the tone above. But I'm sorry, Your Majesty! Our government has no intention of intervening directly in this matter, and as you know, the white society has been watching us very closely, and the 'yellow peril theory' is not a day or two, and if our country does something rashly, it will cause a strong reaction in Europe, and then it will be even more detrimental to you and your country. ”
"And what do you mean now?"
"I mean, if your country really reaches the end of the day, there is a 'retreat' in the East that will always be open for you. My country doesn't want to get entangled with those guys in Europe, but I've never been afraid of them, even if I borrow ten guts from Italy, they don't dare to make conditions with our Datang! ”
“…… I see what you mean, thank you for your help anyway. In addition, I hope to order some more rockets, the more the merrier. I have already sent someone to you this time and next time, I hope you will be satisfied, Mr. Zhuge . ”
At this point, Zhao returned to his own side, and at this time, all the munitions on the Hydrangea had been unloaded, and almost all the light weapons were distributed to other troops, but the rockets and heavy weapons were uniformly distributed to the royal guards. The combat quality of this elite Egyptian army is not low, and it can be regarded as good steel for them to use on the blade.
"Young Master, how did you talk to them?"
"No problem! Speaking of the remuneration given by the local tyrants? I said I sent it, let me see where it is? ”
"It's all on the boat, I'll let them watch it."
Following Qin Heng back to the living area on the ship, as soon as Zhao Jian entered the door, he saw a large pile of wooden boxes neatly stacked on the floor of the living room. Zhao Jian reached out and lifted one of the boxes that had been pried open, and was immediately blinded by the golden light emitting from it.
"How many?"
"200 boxes, a ton of gold! These Ethiopians are too wide! ”
"1 ton? I wiped my tears, this is called a special wave of 'gold' like soil, the local tyrants in the past are so weak! ”
grabbed a heavy gold bar, and the real weight made Zhao Jian's heart surge! After pondering for a while, Zhao Jian put down the gold bar, snapped his fingers twice to make everyone present look at him, and then Zhao Jian announced loudly to his subordinates.
"Listen, brothers, everyone is responsible for the success of this sale! When we return to China, the crew and the brothers of the mercenary team will have one box per person, and I, Zhao Jian, will do what I say! ”
"Oh oh oh!" xN
Excluding the three ship mothers and himself, Zhao Jian brought 22 human subordinates with him this time, all thanks to King Kong's superb control ability, so the crew only needs to be kept to a minimum. In order to increase these people's loyalty to him and make them follow him even more desperately, Zhao Jian suddenly took out one-eighth of the gold as a reward.
50 kilograms of gold is enough for an ordinary person to eat, drink and have fun for most of his life! Zhao Jian just wants to use real benefits to let these subordinates understand that they will definitely have "meat" to eat if they follow themselves!
After receiving the money and new orders, Zhao Jian was not willing to stay for a moment, and immediately ordered someone to start dismantling the camouflage net on the ship. When they first came, they suffered a loss from an Italian air raid, so this time they specially brought a camouflage net weighing nearly 12 tons, and also painted the hull of the Hydrangea in yellow-green camouflage, which had an excellent camouflage effect. In addition, the Italian pilots have recently been protesting against the poor food and the passive sabotage of the mission, so the Hydrangea has been here for nearly a week, and it has been unscathed in four air strikes against Addis Ababa.
His subordinates quickly dismantled the camouflage net, and did not accept what was removed, and threw it directly off the boat and left it for the Egyptian army. Just when everyone was busy with their work, a group of visitors who surprised Zhao Jian suddenly came to the door.
"The Germans want to see me?"
Hearing Hongling's report, Zhao Jian's eyes rolled, and he immediately guessed the other party's intention. He instructed Hongling to quickly inform King Kong and Xiao Lu to hide, and then personally go to meet the head of the German "advisory group".
Unlike Zhao Jian and his party, who came and went, and walked and came, the Germans' advisory group had stayed here since the beginning of the war. Their main task was to assist the Egyptian army in the training of new recruits, and they were so dedicated that they were treated with the dignity of ordinary soldiers and junior officers.
Originally, the German advisory group didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Jian and other arms dealers, but the other party actually came out with a very interesting weapon this time. So the head of the advisory group, Colonel William Wagner, suddenly felt that he should meet the Oriental, after going to see the rocket artillery that had inflicted heavy damage on the Italian army.
In the living room of the Hydrangea, Colonel William sat upright, with a Chinese face with a stern expression, and if he didn't blink, he would even make people mistake him for a sculpture, and next to this uncle, there was a young girl with the same expression and posture. The girl looked like she was only 13 or 4 years old, and her expression was very strict, but her eyes had been peeking at the snacks on the table more than once.
"Emma, eat if you want."
"Really!? Ahem...... Colonel, I am a glorious German soldier......"
"Soldiers also have to be well fed before they can fight."
Glancing at the girl next to him with a slight sideways face, Colonel William showed a smile, he knew that the girl next to him was not human, but the appearance and personality of the other party always reminded him of his little daughter from home. The middle-aged uncle didn't say much, just reached out and gently pushed the pastry box on the table, and the goddess called Emma finally couldn't hold back**, and carefully grabbed a piece and put it in her mouth.
"Woo...... Delicious......"
Covering her face with a happy expression, Emma finally couldn't pretend anymore, and ate one piece at a time, but just when she was about to finish half a box of snacks, the door of the living room was opened, and Zhao Jian walked in with Hongling.
PS: The legal department finally officially took over, but the other party told me that I had to wait patiently, because after this process, the waiting time is calculated in "weeks", so what I have to do now is to do my best to restore my bad mood and write a happy novel, and now this state is really not good.
In addition, the other side's actions have begun to change recently, and they never mention their theft, and they began to bite back and say that I was "hyped". The IQ revealed by this method is really refreshing! I'm a niche book with a locked audience, learn from 86 children to go to station B to make videos, the publicity effect is stronger than "war teasing", and it is clear that my reduction of updates is proof of hype, can the reason for this slander be more reliable? If I really want to hype, I should be more explosive now, right? But now I'm in such a bad mood that I can't even write, is there such a hype?
So don't try to muddy the waters, divert your attention, and steal the minions of the Order!
