Chapter 805: A Storm Caused by a Batch of Weapons
A Goblin brand excavator for a Conqueror 10 tank, Mosquito felt that the price he was driving was already very fair.
The same two tracks, one for one is excessive?
Not too much at all!
He didn't even think about depreciation.
Besides, the Legion's tanks are originally the type with a large amount of pipes, and there are almost no eye-catching black technologies, and the only bright spot is in the outrageously thick armor with high equivalentity.
He bought it for one purpose, and that was to sell it in the province of Borneo.
Aside from a few warlords there, I'm afraid no one is interested in this thing.
However, what he didn't expect was that this Willant didn't know what to do, and angrily shook off his hand.
"You go away!"
An excavator for a tank, and it's a Conquistador 10 heavy tank!
In his opinion, this offer is simply humiliating!
Seeing that this business could not be done, the mosquito was also anxious in his heart, but he was not discouraged, and hurriedly pulled him and said.
"Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me give you an analysis. You guys have these equipment pulled back from the front line to the rear, and the money spent can be rebuilt in the rear, even if you don't dispose of it to me, it will be scrapped on the spot, why don't you take the opportunity to make a profit? ”
When the ten-master heard this, he couldn't help but squirt.
"Whatever you do, you make a fortune! You tell me how to make a fortune by replacing a tank with an excavator! Can't I sell it myself! ”
Mosquito said with a smile.
"Ahem, then you have to have a place to sell it...... You don't have a ship, you don't have a railroad, and you can't pull too far, who else but me will buy it? Besides, the excavators I gave you are all good things, even if you finish the construction site here, you can drive the excavator to dig on other construction sites, and you can earn back the money for the tank casually! ”
was stunned by this nonsense, and the ten-captain was stunned for a moment, and his mind didn't turn for a while.
“…… What does it mean to go to other construction sites to dig earth? ”
The mosquito's brain spun quickly and quickly explained.
"This other construction site is, of course, another construction site...... Cough! The alliance plans to build ports and settlements nearby, and when the time comes, it will definitely be money to work, and you have people and engineering equipment in your hands, and you are still worried about not working? It doesn't matter if you don't want to do it yourself, you can make a lot of rent by renting the equipment to people who need it, it's a matter of earning more and earning less. ”
As soon as he heard that the alliance was going to build a port and a settlement in the vicinity, the ten-captain suddenly reacted.
"That's not right...... You're from the Alliance, why should we do the work for you! ”
The mosquito said with a smile in his eyes.
"Why can't you turn around in this brain, what does it have to do with whether we are from the alliance or not...... Even if you don't like us, you don't have a grudge against money, right? ”
Hearing this, the ten-captain pondered in his head for a while, as if this was also the truth.
Although the alliance is not likable, those white silver coins are quite likable, and they can buy a lot of good things.
Seeing that the ten-captain seemed to be moved, the mosquito hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued.
"You see, this battle is over, and those tanks and artillery will definitely not be used, but you people will not be able to withdraw for a while, and it is estimated that you will have to stay here for a while, why don't you take the opportunity to earn some pocket money to improve your life?"
The ten-captain thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
"How much do you need?"
Pressing the excitement in his heart, Mosquito said with a smile.
"As much as you want! And not just tanks, aircraft artillery and even rifles...... As long as you can't use it temporarily, we will accept it all, and the price is negotiable! ”
"I can't make a decision on this...... But I can help you ask my superiors. My name is Anthony, how about you? What do you call it? ”
"Mosquitoes! Hehe, it's okay to call me Mosquito, almost everyone in the blue coat on the Alliance knows me," Mosquito smiled understandingly, and handed the money bag prepared in advance to the hand of the Willant, "A little heart, not respect." ”
The ten-captain took the money bag in his hand and weighed it for a while, and the expression on his face was also overjoyed, and he agreed happily.
"Wait for my news!"
With that, he beckoned his teammates who had just come out of the ruins and walked in the direction of the camp.
Watching the man leave, the mosquito grinned, dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, and walked towards the bulletproof SUV parked under an abandoned building.
This bulletproof off-road vehicle is the one produced by Kitajima Heavy Industries.
Since discovering that the door of this thing can carry the armor-piercing bullets of the RPG, he decisively placed an order for an entire fleet.
Sitting in the driver's seat was one of his "little brothers" [Death], who was holding the steering wheel and waiting for him boredly at the moment.
watched the mosquito pull the car door and sit on the co-pilot, and said helplessly.
“…… Anyway, we have our own products, so why don't we sell our own goods? ”
Goblin Tech's work is much more ruthless than that of the Wilantes.
However, the mosquito was unimpressed, and said eloquently.
"The money you make from selling products is not as fragrant as you pick up for nothing."
Of course, he also sells his own arms, but this does not prevent him from trading in the Willant people.
What's more, now that the battle has been fought, it is not suitable to open a new production line.
Judging by the series of actions of the managers in the southern seas, outer space exploration is the answer for the next version!
If you want to be ahead of the version, you have to learn to anticipate!
Mosquito has already thought about it, and there is no problem at all with two or three hundred million silver coins in this business!
He intends to invest all this money in Goblin Technology's new business - outer space equipment development project!
Just when the mosquito was dreaming of his spring and autumn season, he always felt that there was something wrong with why he was dying, and he held it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
“…… Is this business reliable? ”
The mosquito smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, ninety percent of it is right!"
It seems that there is still a 10% failure rate......
Thinking so in his heart, Killing looked at him and continued to ask.
"Where to go now?"
"Go to the port," as he spoke, Mosquito had already placed the coordinates on the VM, and with a confident smile on his face, he chattered, "I have already contacted the buyer, and it is the representative of the warlord General Jieha of Huzhou." We're waiting on the harbor on the Death Coast right now, but don't leave our guests hanging for too long! ”
Huzhou ...... It seems to be the state north of the port of Kingalen?
I haven't been to Borneo Province before, so I clicked on the VM map and looked at it to find out where the place was.
unimaginable.
Such a feng shui treasure land, far from all the core crises in the wasteland, can actually eat hundreds of millions of silver coins of ammunition.
"What do the warlords there want to do? Dry Legion? ”
The mosquito smiled and said nonchalantly.
"No matter what they do, even if they are brothers of the Burning Corps, we still sell the equipment we should sell...... Just looking for something to do for those hangers. ”
Selling weapons alone doesn't violate the Player's Manual, and the best-selling thing in the wasteland is munitions.
There is only one scenario in which you can be hammered, and that is to sell weapons to forces that have declared hostility or embargo to the Alliance.
However, the trade partner this time obviously does not belong to that situation, and even has no potential to be targeted by the league.
“……”
Fatal glanced at the guy speechlessly, and his gaze fell on the map again.
It was obviously a much larger oasis than the "oasis" of Luoxia Province, with no broods or xenomorphs, no mutants or other nonsense.
It's part of the wasteland, but there's no place in the wasteland that is closer to heaven, or better for farming......
stared at that piece of feng shui treasure for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
“…… It's really shallow. ”
……
In the palatial banquet hall of the North Island Hotel, well-dressed guests come and go at long tables.
Most of the people present were figures with heads and faces from the alliance and the South China Sea Alliance.
Among them are political officials, representatives of industry, and bigwigs in academia.
For example, the shareholders of Baiyue Company, the senior management of Beidao Heavy Industries, the researchers of the scientific research group, and so on.
In addition, there are also a number of survivor forces that have a good relationship with the South China Sea Alliance have also been invited.
For example, the authorities of Mammoth State, which has a labor-exporting relationship with the South China Sea Alliance, and the authorities of the port of Jingallen, which have close trade ties with the southern seas, and the Hump Kingdom, and so on.
The guests chatted with each other at the banquet, not only about the new order after the Battle in Heaven and the Civil War in the Southern Seas, but also about the "trackless space elevator" that was being selected and other possibilities for cooperation.
As a mysterious and wealthy rich man of the Borneo province, Duke Nehak was in the limelight at the banquet.
Originally, the organizers had some hesitations about inviting the Duke of Nehack and the representatives of the Golden Gallen Harbor at the same time, but the former soon discovered that this concern was completely unnecessary.
Duke Nehack not only didn't care at all about the unpleasantness that happened before, but even generously allocated an interest-free loan of 10 billion silan coins to the port of Golden Gallen.
The generous gesture of throwing money won the exclamation and applause of the crowd, and the former also floated more and more in the pursuit of everyone, and even the Hump Kingdom received a loan of 10 billion.
Looking at the red-faced Duke Nehak, Lao Bai, who was standing in the corner of the banquet hall, couldn't help but complain.
“…… What is the largest denomination of the West Orchid coin? 100 million? ”
Fang Chang said with a smile.
"It seems like 1000, I can't remember."
Lao Bai was silent for a while, then shook his head and said.
“…… It's crazy. ”
Although he didn't know how many silver coins he could exchange for, he had heard that the relationship between the thing and the gallon was 5:4, and that the exchange rate between the latter and the silver coin was stable at around 10:1.
Ten billion Xilan coins, almost 1 billion silver coins. After all, this thing is not real paper, but can be exchanged for real goods.
Looking at Lao Bai, who had an incomprehensible expression on his face, Fang Chang said with a faint smile.
"Slave owners are mostly like this, anyway, they don't spend their own money, and in the end it's the ones who make the screws to pay it back...... Do you think he cares? If I were he wouldn't care. ”
The frantically printed banknotes will continue to dilute the debts tied to them, and as long as there is a way to exchange Xilan coins for silver coins or Cr and dinars, what can be borrowed is earned.
After all, it's an interest-free loan.
Even if you don't make any investment, just exchange it for silver coins to buy some alliance bonds and make a capital guaranteed financial management, then you can earn a bunch of interest out of thin air.
As for the exchange rate loss caused by the future appreciation of the Xilan currency?
At the speed at which Duke Nehac writes checks, the serfs of the empire will not be able to stop this downward trend even if they step on the sewing machine and smoke.
There are only two kinds of things that may make the "speculative" little sparrows of the South China Sea Alliance and the Hump Kingdom lose money, that is, the alliance bonds they buy cannot outperform the inflation of the alliance.
Or, the low-caste serfs of the empire stepped on the antimatter reactor when they stepped on the sewing machine.
It's not impossible, but it's probably only possible to happen in Duke Nehac's daydreams.
But having said that, Fang Chang was actually a little sour in his heart.
Especially when he saw that the envoy of the Hump Kingdom had only complimented him with a few words, and he had received a 10 billion interest-free loan from Nehak, he was even more envious.
These dogs don't have the ability to make the cake bigger, but when they cut the cake, they are more aggressive than the other.
The most outrageous thing is that this cake is cut more aggressively than the knife that cuts the cake.
On the contrary, he, the baker, can only honestly cook his flatbread.
"It's unreasonable."
Fang Chang shook his head, sighed lightly and walked away, out of sight and out of mind.
What he didn't know was that just as he shook his head and left, Governor Nehak's eyes were fixed on him, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
What a stupid guy.
In just one banquet, he was about to buy off the alliance's partners, but the alliance that was dug up in the corner didn't know it.
The Silan Coins are now filled with the Wastelander's pockets, just as the Alliance had filled the Wastelander's pockets with silver.
We'll see.
This group of arrogant guys, sooner or later, will lose to their own arrogance!
While Duke Nehac was imagining how the alliance would collapse in ten or twenty years, the administrators of the alliance were drawing a pie with a group of juniors in ten or twenty years.
“…… We can't keep gnawing on the old roots left over from the era of the People's Union, only by returning to outer space to regain the territory of the People's Era, can we create a greater era than the past! ”
Warm applause swarmed around Chu Guang, and he was more like the protagonist than Duke Nehak standing in the crowd.
An era greater than the Age of Prosperity!
It doesn't just sound wonderful, it's even dreamy.
Almost all of them had excited expressions on their faces.
Of course, there are also some people who have concerns and worries on their faces.
A minister from the Hump Kingdom court raised his right hand and bowed slightly after gaining Chu Guang's attention.
"Dear Mr. Administrator, I must admit that your plan is grandiose...... But I want to ask one thing. ”
Chu Guang said with a pleasant face.
"Excuse me."
The minister looked at him earnestly and continued.
"When you say it, we'll ...... Or where are the people of the Spirit of the Sand Sea? ”
Whispers were heard all around.
The expression on Chu Guang's face did not change at all, and it was still the same gentle tone.
"The new era we aspire to is the result of discussions among the peoples. You can stay wherever you want, as long as it doesn't affect other people in the boat. We will give those who are reluctant to go to the new era enough time to think about their place in the universe and decide when to take that final step...... It's not forced. ”
After listening to Chu Guang's answer, the minister was obviously relieved, bowed his head slightly and said "thank you", and then retreated into the crowd behind him.
Compared to other kingdoms in the desert, the Hump Kingdom is actually quite enlightened.
In particular, the residents of Silvermoon Bay are no less receptive to new ideas than the residents of Dawning City.
The royal family of the Hump Kingdom did not fear that new ideas would be born in the land protected by the goddess of the silver moon, only that the flame of progress would be too hot and burn their prosperity to ashes.
However, it can be seen from the administrator's answer that the alliance has no intention of doing so.
At least for now, they don't have to worry about being burned by the scorching flames.
After chatting with the guests who were interested in the space elevator program, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he moved to the long table and fetched a bottle of champagne.
Due to the unpleasant memories of his previous life, he is not very fond of alcohol, but he is not averse to low-alcohol sparkling wine.
And just when Chu Guang was taking two sips alone, a young man suddenly walked over from the side, looked at him and said respectfully.
"Dear Mr. Administrator, I'm Weru, an emissary from Mammoth, and allow me to take a moment of your time."
Hearing the voice from beside him, Chu Guang put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him, but unexpectedly saw a little shadow of Shuyu from him.
Especially the bright eyes, as well as the vigorous temperament on his body.
He still had a good impression of the polite young man, Chu Guang said with a pleasant face.
"Of course, is there anything going on?"
Wei Lu took a deep breath and said in a respectful tone.
"I want to ...... you Market us. ”
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile.
"Interesting statement."
"Since you find it interesting, then I'll continue," Wei Lu walked in front of Chu Guang and continued with a blazing gaze, "The trade routes of the Borneo Sea are an important foreign trade route for the Alliance, and merchant ships departing from Silver Moon Bay carry the Alliance's goods to all parts of the coastline of the Middle-earth continent...... However, the alliance has only one military base on the coast of the Borneo Sea, don't you think it's too little? ”
Chu Guang looked at him with interest.
"And what do you mean?"
After a moment's pause, Veru continued.
"The Mammoth State authorities can provide the Union with a piece of coastal land as a strategic fulcrum for the Alliance on the north of the east coast of Borneo! We don't charge anything, and we're even willing to cover some of the logistical costs of your local garrison! ”
Boy.
Is this trying to borrow a knife to kill someone?
Hearing this astonishing proposal, Chu Guang looked at the young man in surprise.
"Was it your idea, or was it yours?"
Veru: "Of course we had the idea! ”
Chu Guang smiled and said.
"I know what you're trying to do, but unfortunately, the Alliance's forces can't help you fight a civil war, we have more important things to do."
Hearing the words of refusal, Wei Lu did not give up, but continued.
"We will not ask you to participate in our war, not in any form, I can assure you!"
"But if we want to keep that military port, we're going to have to try to keep you from losing the civil war, right?" Chu Guang saw through his thoughts at a glance and debunked them without hesitation.
However, Wei Lu, who was recognized, did not show an embarrassed expression on his face, but continued without changing his face.
"Why not? We are clearly more worthy of investment than the Xilan Empire, and the first thing we did after seizing control of the Mammoth State was to abolish slavery! We'll put what we're doing in the constitution, and we'll do the same in the whole province of Borneo as soon as we take the whole of the empire!" ”
"Sounds really good," Chu Guang nodded, "But have you thought about it, if we are gone, you will no longer be facing just the Empire." ”
As soon as the Coalition intervened in the civil war in Borneo, the legion would be immediately destroyed.
The final result was nothing more than a proxy war between the Alliance and the Legion in Borneo, and this was the last thing Chu Guang wanted to see.
He still has a lot to do, including the development of the Heavenly Court, including the development of outer space, and so on.
Another fight with the Legion will not do the Alliance or the Sticky Community any good, but will cause the survivor forces that have been hard to unite to fall back into internal strife.
Seeing that Chu Guang had no interest in intervening in Borneo Province at all, Wei Lu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and couldn't help but say out loud.
"I know you're worried about the Legion...... But in fact, the Willantes are gone, and they are sending everything they can to our borders except for the troops! Some of this is even your supply line! ”
Hearing the key information in this sentence, Chu Guang frowned slightly.
"My supply line?"
Weiru lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"Exactly...... Using your railroad, they transferred a portion of their armaments from the Wifu Wasteland to the Falcon Kingdom, then from the eastern industrial region of the Great Desert to the northwest of Borneo Province, and finally to the Gray Wolf Army. ”
Chu Guang looked into his eyes.
"But I've heard that they're planning to bring those supplies back to the Legion mainland."
Weiru said immediately.
"Apparently they lied to you! They intend to arm the Xilan Empire with those weapons that have been sent to the front line in the name of 'fighting for the fate of all mankind'! ”
The military supplies hoarded in the Weifu Wasteland were astronomical, and it was also a trouble to stay there, so when the legion proposed to use the alliance's railroad to transport those supplies home, Chu Guang readily agreed.
After all, "facilitating the return of soldiers to the front lines after the war is over" is itself part of the coalition agreement.
He even gave the legion a discount on the capacity resources occupied, and the two sides shared the freight.
However, it now appears that Mr. Bennot was clearly clever, and the weapon was transported to the Legion's sphere of influence and turned around.
If that's the case, then it's not just about Mammoth State.
Chu Guang thought for two seconds and nodded.
“…… I know, I will find out about the relevant situation, and if the situation is true, we will give you some compensation. ”
After hearing Chu Guang's reply, Wei Lu did not continue to entangle him with great interest, and bowed his head slightly respectfully.
"Thank you for your understanding...... We look forward to hearing from you. ”
Seeing the representatives of Mammoth State leave, Chu Guang first called Lu Bei and asked the Guards to verify the relevant situation, and then found Vanus, who was also at the banquet, and repeated what Wei Lu had mentioned just now.
Vanus bowed his head and pondered for a long time before speaking.
"It's like something that the civilian clique can do...... They should have reached some kind of agreement with the Eastern Legion. ”
Chu Guang frowned.
“…… What kind of small action are these people trying to do? ”
Vanus hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.
"Could it be because of ...... What about the space elevator? ”
Previously, the alliance announced at the meeting of the Adhesive Community that it planned to build a space elevator in the southern seas.
The Corporations were intrigued, the Academy was indifferent, and the Legion was categorically opposed to the plan, believing that such a thing should not be discussed in the Gloma, and objected to the location of the space elevator.
Chu Guang is actually very talkative, if you want to participate in this thing, you can participate, and if you don't want to participate, you can not participate.
Anyway, the distribution of capacity share and profit dividends are set according to the proportion of capital, effort and technology when building elevators.
However, the representatives of the legion still expressed their dissatisfaction with such a plan, and challenged the alliance's foreign minister Cheng Yan on a series of issues.
The Legion is sending arms to the Empire on a large scale at this time, and it cannot be ruled out that they intend to use actions to prevent the Alliance from advancing the space elevator program.
After all, until the ports of the Death Coast and the railroad connecting the provinces of Haiya are completed, Silvermoon Bay and the Borneo Sea will remain the Alliance's important and only maritime transportation hubs for a long time to come.
At this time, it is very simple to disgust the alliance, it is enough to burn the flames of war from Mammoth State to the adjacent Silvermoon Bay.
The two sides are separated by hundreds of kilometers by sea and a mountain range by land, so it is not difficult to implement this plan.
And......
It's a lot like what an empire can do.
Realizing that someone was trying to spend their own money to disgust themselves, Chu Guang's brows suddenly twitched, and he took out his mobile phone and made a second call to Lu Bei.
"How's that thing I asked you to look into?"
Lu Bei, who received the call, also looked confused, and paused for two seconds before saying embarrassedly.
“…… Sir, this may take a little time, we are contacting the intelligence network in the Falcon Kingdom, and only they can figure out where the weapons went after they were unloaded in the Falcon Kingdom. ”
Chu Guang nodded and continued.
"You check first...... By the way, park the military supplies that need to be transferred to the Falcon Kingdom in the warehouse first. If someone from the Legion asks, tell them that the army lists a fault that needs to be repaired, and let them come to me if they have any questions. ”
Lu Bei, who heard the order, didn't ask much, and led the order sonorously.
"Yes!"
Just five minutes after Chu Guang put down the phone, the entire railway of the alliance from Weifu Wasteland in Jinchuan Province to Bicester Town in Luoxia Province seemed to have pressed the pause button.
With the exception of the moving train, all munitions that were being sent or were about to be sent to Bicester Town were moved to the nearest warehouse for storage.
It is impossible for the Coalition to transport weapons from one front line to another with its own Railroad Gang Legion, and these weapons will not move in any further direction until the matter is investigated.
Later that day, the Legion's ambassador to the Alliance, Captain Benottwan, learned of the situation from the quartermaster who was with him, got out of bed, and angrily called the Alliance's foreign minister, Cheng Yan, but only received a perfunctory answer that "the train was out of order and needed to be repaired".
As soon as Bennott heard this answer, he immediately realized that his cleverness might have been exposed, but the alliance had not yet found conclusive evidence, so he resorted to this clumsy "reciprocal method".
The arms left by the legion at the military base in the Weifu Wasteland are more than enough to arm thirty thousand troops, and they are still according to the standards of the regular army of the Eastern Legion.
So far, less than one-sixth of this equipment has been successfully transferred, and a large number of them are still stranded in the Weifu Wasteland and the Alliance's logistics and transportation lines.
Once the alliance finds out about it, they will have to find a way to dispose of these weapons on their own.
And the thought of transporting the mountain of weapons and equipment without relying on the Union railroad at all, Bennault only felt like his head was going to explode.
Knowing that the alliance was so sensitive, he should have hoarded his things in the Falcon Kingdom first, and then sold them to the empire after all the arms were transported from Jinchuan Province!
However, it is too late to regret it now.
He could only send a telegram to the Falcon Kingdom to find a way to destroy as much evidence as possible, and at the same time contact Captain Leumwan, who was on the front line, and ask the guy who drove the airship to help him think of a way.
Just when the Alliance and the Legion had a dispute over the transportation of arms, the Mammoth State, which was at the center of this vortex, also welcomed several special guests.
And when it comes to the identities of these guests, it can be regarded as having a lot of relationship with the Moon Clan's resistance army......
