Chapter 278: Difficulties in Purchasing Equipment
Just an ordinary phrase, different listeners, different feelings, just kidding, Sorjes hasn't called out the word "father" for several years?
Holding back the excitement in his heart, even though Vargas had a thousand words in his heart, he only let out a long breath in the end, "Where did you grab these magic diamonds?"
A father asked his son about the robbery, how strange this scene looked, but the father and son looked as usual, as if they were asking "Have you eaten?"
"Well, more than half a month ago, a group of merchants who walked with magic diamonds passed by, and I teamed up with several pirate groups to rob them all, and finally got a sea locust and a special product worth 100,000 yuan. "So many?" Raymond's eyes widened, he hadn't noticed the measure word that Sojes had used to describe the magic diamond, and now he remembered that he had used two "boxes" to describe it.
The merchant group that dares to go so many magic diamonds will definitely have a fairly large fleet escort, how capable is his younger brother, Raymond knows very well in his heart, don't look at what he said so lightly, it is definitely very dangerous when it comes to actual combat.
"Well, that's all there is to it, it just so happens that I am short of money now, you can calculate it, and then give me a fair price, I still have to use it to buy another batch of new ships, and then get some shipbuilding equipment. Sojestan confessed his purpose, this request seems ordinary, but in fact it is not so simple, if a pirate leader only buys ships in the country, the empire is completely acceptable, but if he wants to buy shipbuilding equipment, he needs to go through quite close surveillance, especially this time the equipment that Sojes wants to buy is used in the construction of battleships This level of high-end equipment, this requirement is definitely not as simple as he imagined.
Seeing that his father and brother and Daphne were all embarrassed, Sojes frowned slightly, "What, is there any trouble?"
"There are indeed some ......" Daphne smiled bitterly at this time, she hadn't seen her for so long, and she was becoming more and more like a normal person, although she was still a little fat, but it was already very pleasing to the eye from the outside. ????" The price is negotiable!" Genevia interjected eagerly, thinking she was worried that they would not be able to pay the price, but in fact it was not like that at all.
"If it's just the price, then it's actually not a problem!" Raymond rubbed his eyebrows, and when he saw that Genevia still looked puzzled, he suddenly asked, "You should know what the advantages of the French Empire over the other six empires are, right?" "Well, the Sea Beast Knights, the Sea Beast Legion of the Holy Beast Sea, and the battleships and ironclads!"
"That's it! Even if you don't need technology, those devices are still ahead of other empires, although you can rest assured that you are a person, but you can't guarantee that those pirates under your command will not leak the news!"
In fact, Raymond's sentence is pure nonsense, and the equipment is different from the drawings, how can it be so easy to leak? However, it is true that what he said is more troublesome, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, this sentence in the East makes sense no matter where it is, but it is not possible only in this kind of place, it is impossible for any empire to let a pirate who does not belong to the royal family become bigger, the scale of the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group is not small, whether it is business or fleet size has reached a remarkable point, what they lack is not combat power, but military production capacity, it is conceivable that if a pirate leader with an independent island has the ability to build battleshipsGod knows if this guy will become a completely independent force - like the pirate city.
Don't think that there is no comparison between the two, even if it is the size of a pirate city, it is not built in a day, as long as there is a production capacity of military weapons, it is only a matter of time before the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Group wants to grow, to put it mildly, if they don't want to go out and rob one day, they just need to make a name for themselves, and selling battleships at a low price can make them a lot of money.
Even if Sorjes was stupid, he knew that Raymond was not concerned about this matter, and although he couldn't guess the specific reason, he also knew that this matter was not as easy as he imagined.
Seeing that Sojes didn't speak, Vargas sighed, and finally eased up with this little son, he begged himself for the first time in several years to do something as a father, if he couldn't do it, it would be too embarrassing, "Tomorrow I'll ask Your Majesty, whether this matter is big or not, whether it's small or not, the key is to see how Your Majesty thinks of you and your pirate group." ”
This is already very clear, simply put, it depends on the king's attitude, if the king is in favor, then if the royal family and the Brustein family join forces, they can also suppress those opposing voices, and this matter is done, but if the king does not agree, then this matter is not done.
"Okay, but the magic diamond needs to be exchanged for money as soon as possible, and I've been using a lot of money lately. Sojes shrugged, he really wanted to build Rainbow Island on the scale of a military base, but even if things didn't work out, he still had other countermeasures, this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, after all, no empire could let a pirate become bigger, especially if he was born in the Brustein family, which has the strongest military strength in the empire, if he has the ability to develop military, the king is afraid that he will not be able to sleep, don't look at Sojes has broken away from the Brustein family on the surface, but who knows whether this is from the family's instructionsIn case the Brustein family suddenly wants to betray after it grows and grows, even if the empire can be suppressed, I am afraid that it will be greatly damaged in the future, and it is not impossible to decay from the empire to a kingdom, or be directly destroyed!
"Wait and see, when I break through to the seventh or eighth order again, I'll wait for you, King Fran, to personally deliver those devices to me!"
Anyway, he also returned to his home, and he no longer had to worry about whether there would be an enemy attack even when he was sleeping, and the mood of Sojes and the others was completely relaxed.
Although Daphne was born in the royal family, she kept everything in the house in order, not so much the future wife of the housekeeper, but more like a housekeeper, after arranging for the servants to serve a few people to bathe and eat, and then arranged rooms for a few people, even Betty, who was a dark creature, was not left out in the cold, and her behavior also won the favor of the two girls.
In Raymond's room, Sorges was having a conversation with Raymond, and Vargas was obviously a little urgent about his son's previous request, and had just gone to the palace after eating, leaving only the two brothers here to chat.
"Big brother, how many rumors have you heard about Nodia?" After taking a sip of coffee, Sojes asked another question he wanted to know, if he left this time, he would lead the fleet to the upper-current, which had just been cleared by the Sword Emperor, and it was easy that no one would go there, and the longer the time was delayed, the lower the influence of the Sword Emperor would be.
