Chapter 812 - Always Ahead of the Version
"Ahh
At the military base on the Death Coast, the mosquito standing next to the warehouse suddenly sneezed without warning, sniffed and muttered.
"Grandma's, who has a crush on Lao Tzu behind her back......"
Hearing the "sneeze", the little brother of the rat tribe who followed him hurriedly took off his coat and draped it on his shoulders with courtesy.
Although it wasn't cold at all, the mosquito still understood his kindness.
Actually, although he didn't have a high opinion of the follower he received in front of Elder Brother Fang, in fact, he was just talking about it.
And this kind of talk is probably similar to being a father complaining about how his son is useless in front of other fathers, which is obviously inaccurate.
In all fairness, although this guy is a little timid and afraid of things, he looks a little obscene, and he is not energetic enough, especially the spirit of an ace pilot, but he still has a lot of advantages.
For example, they will observe words and feelings, and they will come to things, etc.
Although it is no fun to expect this kind of person to inherit his mantle, it is still good to train as the CEO or CSO of Goblin Technology.
In short, make the most of it!
Thinking of this, the mosquito addiction was committed again, so he beckoned.
"Jerry, you're coming."
This name was made up by him casually at the request of the rat-man brother himself.
According to his own words, this is to get rid of the imprint left on him by the province of Borneo, to better integrate into the society of the alliance, and at the same time, to not enter the reincarnation of thousands of tribes and gods in the future.
Although Mosquito himself is an atheist and doesn't believe in that at all, he still responds to his younger brother's plea, after all, he also hopes that this guy can live a little human.
The survivors of Borneo are not the same people as the inhabitants who lived in Borneo three centuries ago. They didn't look much different from the other survivors who had escaped from the Great Desert, and no one could tell where he came from if he changed his name.
At least the survivors outside of Borneo are not very distinguishable.
Hearing the mosquito shouting to himself, Jerry hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the ear.
"What do you command, sir?"
Pulling the coat on his shoulder, the mosquito tilted his head slightly, and said in a full manner.
"See more, learn more, I like you very much...... It's too condescending to let you sell small cards, and I will take you to do a bigger deal in the future. β
Hearing the big cake painted by the mosquito master, Jerry was so moved that he almost knelt down on the spot to recognize his godfather.
"Gotta get it, look at your little bit of talent."
The mosquito waved his hand, stopping him from grateful, then cleared his throat vigorously and shouted at the officer who came out of the warehouse.
"Ahem! What are you seeing? β
What came out of the warehouse was none other than a major customer from Huzhou, the quartermaster Chopra under the commander-in-chief of the LTTE, Commander Jehavan, with the rank of commander of a thousand.
Glancing at the rat-clan man standing next to the mosquito, Chopra, who was a tiger clan, instinctively showed a hint of disdain in his eyes.
But when he looked at the mosquito, he had a respectful expression on his face.
"I've read it all...... We are very satisfied with your goods! These munitions have helped us a lot! β
A total of twelve Conqueror X Heavy Tans, thirty-six Conquistador V Light Tans, and forty-eight 100mm guns!
In addition to this, there is a large number of "blade" assault rifles, as well as 7mm ammunition!
This thing is ninety percent new, although it is not as durable as the Alliance's LD series weapons, but it is much more awesome than those "Ripper" sold in Xifan Harbor!
With these sophisticated armaments, the Tigers can easily pull another armored team of 10,000 people, and another four or five infantry teams of 10,000 people!
And it's according to the standard of the legion!
When the time comes, not to mention the dignitaries and nobles of Tiandu, even his mother's McClen will come to White Tiger City, and they will have to kowtow to their Lord Jeha twice before leaving!
Thinking about it, the corners of Chopra's grinning mouth almost didn't fall, and he couldn't wait to fly back to White Tiger City with this batch of equipment immediately to ask for credit.
Seeing that his customers were so happy, the mosquito also showed a happy smile on his face.
"It's good to be satisfied! Small business is not on credit, if it is convenient, please settle the account first, I will receive the money and ship it immediately! Lapping home delivery! β
"No problem!"
Chopra agreed, but then smiled embarrassedly and whispered, "That's right, that ...... Can I pay in Xilan coins? β
Pay in Xilan coins?
The mosquito was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and glared at the guy in front of him.
"Do you want to pay the bill?"
Boy!
Playing with an empty glove white wolf on his turf?
It's just boring!
Not only did the mosquito's eyes become unkind, but Jerry, who was standing next to him, also stared at this group of tiger people with a dark face, as well as a group of mosquito brothers such as persuasion and killing.
Seeing that the bigwigs of the alliance looked unkind, Chopra hurriedly explained.
"Your Excellency! I, how dare we rely on your account? It's just that...... Our silver coin reserves are really tight, and we can't turn them around for a while. β
"What does that have to do with me?" The mosquito said with a dark face, "I only accept silver coins here, who wants your waste paper!" β
Seeing that the big guy refused to be accommodating at all, Chopra was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.
Seeing that he hadn't held back a word for a long time, the mosquito sighed and waved his hand.
"Forget it, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it, and we can't force you to buy it. Besides, I don't think you have the sincerity to do business, so I'd better talk to the warlords in Leopard State. β
As soon as he heard this, Chopra couldn't sit still, especially when he saw the mosquito turn to leave, he quickly opened his throat and shouted.
"Wait a minute!"
The mosquito stopped to look at him, his eyebrows raised.
"What? Rich again? β
Chopra struggled for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said in a heart.
"Silver Coins...... We really can't get it, and the Imperial Royal Mint is slow to grant us a silver quota. But, but! We still have a lot of Xilan coins on our account! If you would like to accept the payment in Xilan, we can follow the ...... 80 - no, 90! Wait a minute! 100οΌ 100 Xilan coins for 1 silver coin! We make this deal with you at a 100:1 rate! β
This was the last card that Captain Jehavanv handed him.
If it weren't for the fact that this batch of equipment was too important, he didn't want to play this card, after all, if he released the liquidity on the bank account of White Tiger City, he would have to suffer the large and small workshops and the residents working in the workshops.
You must know that when the Empire just ended its embargo on the port of Golden Gallon a few months ago, the exchange rate of the West Gallon and the Gallon was still 5:4, which was only 12.5:1 when converted into silver coins.
Now with the exchange rate of 100:1 to make this transaction, it is simply a loss to grandma's house!
Hearing Chopra's words, the mosquito stopped and looked back at the quartermaster standing at the door of the warehouse.
100οΌ1οΌ
This exchange rate is basically the cost price of the major banks of the alliance from the central bank of the South China Sea Alliance for "bulk purchases", which is already quite conscientious!
If it is a bank in the port of Golden Gallen, the actual exchange rate of the Xilan coin against the silver coin is probably higher, and it can be around 80:1.
In other words, if this deal is signed, Goblin Technology can make a 25% profit just by relying on the exchange rate difference!
The only risk is simply that the money is in your hands......
Although 10,000 people in their hearts were reluctant to accept the "consumption vouchers" of Xilan coins, the other party had no choice but to give too much.
The mosquito struggled in his heart, and finally made the decision that went against his ancestors.
βMMPοΌ Deal! β
Anyway, when he got this batch of Xilan coins, he immediately got them to the Golden Gallen Harbor and threw them away for silver coins, so it shouldn't be a big problem!
And if the warlords of Huzhou can rely on this batch of equipment to become bigger and stronger, maybe there will be silver coins to trade with him in the future?
It's a long-term deal.
The mosquito comforted itself so much in his heart.
Hearing this transaction, Chopra's heart was also dripping with blood, and the few followers who followed him closed their eyes in pain.
100οΌ1β¦β¦
The Conqueror Ten, which is equivalent to one million silver coins, they have to buy it for 100 million Silan coins!
And just a few months ago, the import price of the same tank was 12.5 million Xilan coins! There are even twenty cannonballs included!
The arms in the import list accounted for one-sixth of the total arms reserves of the entire Weifu Wasteland, and if the equipment delivered later was also included, the total transaction value of this arms sales contract would reach a terrifying 50 billion Xilan coins!
And the first batch of arms delivered alone is worth 10 billion Xilan coins!
Almost all the soldiers from Huzhou present cursed in their hearts.
Grandma's ......
Who the hell stole their money!
β¦β¦
At this moment, Bennott, who was far away in Dawning City, did not know about the episode that had taken place on the Dead Coast, let alone that the batch of munitions he was thinking about had been quietly sold out one-sixth.
After slamming the door from the office of the foreign minister of the alliance, he regretted it as soon as he walked to the door, but it was too embarrassing to turn back immediately.
Especially thinking of that nasty face, Benott gritted his teeth, and finally stomped his foot, still stubbornly walking in the direction of the stairs.
Seeing that the guys who were lining up at the Foreign Affairs Registration Office were all looking at him, Bennott, who was angry, immediately glared back.
"What are you looking at?"
Being glared at by that look, whether it was a real diplomat or a fake diplomat, they hurriedly looked away, not daring to provoke this plague god.
The Willantes are notoriously cautious.
Although these people don't have the ability to clean up the alliance, it is still more than enough to clean them up, especially since the ten thousand teams are in the eastern part of the Central Continent.
It was only after watching the angry back disappear at the end of the corridor that a group of survivors crowded in line at the door whispered.
"That's ...... Ambassadors of the Legion? β
"Look at that nose for sure!"
"What made him so angry?"
"The devil knows...... Recently, they have been fighting a lot of words with the alliance over the adhesive community, and it is estimated that they haven't quarreled enough during the meeting. β
"Isn't it possible that the Alliance and the Legion are going to fight again?"
"It's hard to say, I heard that the legion is not satisfied with the way the spoils of war are divided in Haiya Province, and thinks that the alliance and the enterprise have colluded to conceal the relevant technology of the completed lifeform, and it seems that the academy that didn't say much at the meeting has also been given a point."
"I think it's really possible that the academy picked up the cheap, these swamp goblins...... I like to make a fortune in a muffled voice. β
"Hey, I just hope I don't really fight."
Hearing rumors about the war, almost the vast majority of survivors could not help but have a trace of sadness and even gloom on their faces.
Most of the survivors standing here are from settlements above Neutral, and most of them have come here to ride the rapid development of the Adhesive Community, not to participate in the dispute between the two behemoths.
However, while the vast majority of survivors hope that peace will be valued on both sides, there are also some good people who smell the potential business opportunities.
The likelihood of a direct conflict between the Alliance and the Legion is actually not very high.
First, the cost of launching an expedition against the Great Desert is too high, and the benefits are minimal.
Second, the eastward expansion of the legion will inevitably come to an end, and it will also involve the academy that is busy recycling the abandoned technology of Haiya Province.
Butβ
While the likelihood of direct conflict is slim, wars between proxies are not entirely impossible.
For example, Bicester Town is an eternal pain in the heart of the Falcon Kingdom, and the Honey Badger Kingdom next door is always thinking of a complete revenge on the latter.
As long as the Legion and the Alliance have the idea of making a comparison, the Luoxia Province can immediately become a powder keg with a fuse inserted.
There is also the province of Borneo.
Although it was the territory of the Triumph City Civil Bureaucracy, and the Legion did not have a direct military presence there, it was a relatively important market for the Alliance, especially in the east coast of Borneo Province.
If the Legion wants to disgust the Alliance, it is also a good choice to start from Borneo, which can break the property of the residents of Dawning City.
While everyone was talking about their own affairs, the angry Bennot had already gotten into the special car parked downstairs in the Union Building.
"Back to Embassy Street!"
threw a sentence at the driver, and he closed his eyes in the back seat and stopped talking, but the thoughts in his head were spinning fast.
Domini, the secretary sitting next to him, carefully observed the expression on his face until the latter calmed down a little before whispering.
"My lord, what do you mean by the Alliance?"
Bennott snorted coldly through his nose.
"I don't think they want to talk to us anymore."
Domini said with a wry smile.
"I think...... It's better for you not to be rash, the alliance side probably doesn't want us to leave so much equipment in the eastern part of the Middle-earth continent. β
As soon as he heard this, Bennott, who had just been in tune, suddenly became angry and scolded.
"Am I doing it!"
"Am I acting out of my mind? These dogs call the blue gophers...... It's just that the remnants of the Eastern Legion were defeated once, and they dared to ride on our necks and! β
Bennott kept cursing in his mouth, and Domini, who was sitting next to him, heard it and had nothing to say, so he could only smile bitterly and comfort.
At this moment, the car communicator hanging on the car door suddenly rang out.
The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat glanced at the central control screen, and immediately turned sideways like Benott sitting in the back seat and said.
"My lord, it's General Lium's call."
Hearing Leum's name, Bennott's eyebrows twitched violently.
It was definitely the last thing he wanted to hear at the moment.
Without saying a word, Bennott reached out and took off the communicator, and as soon as he put it to his ear, he heard the thunderous roar come from it.
"What the hell is going on with that batch of munitions sent to Bicestertown! How did they all go back to the Weifu Wasteland! Bennott, I want you to give me an explanation right away! β
It's okay to give an explanation right away......
Lao Tzu is not your subordinate!
Benott scolded in his heart, but after all, it was his side that messed things up, and he could only hold back his temper and say.
"There's something wrong with that batch of munitionsβ"
"A little surprise?? What kind of accident can make the munitions that have been delivered to Bicester Town be loaded into a car and transported back to the Weifu Wasteland! β
After being reprimanded, Bennott's temper also came up, and he said angrily.
"What can I do, it's the alliance side that doesn't keep its word! They tore up the contract of carriage with us! β
"The alliance is not keeping its promises?" Lium sneered, "How did I hear that it was the fool under your command who was caught by the other side for evidence?" β
Bennott's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"It is true that this factor cannot be ruled outβ"
Lium was not polite to him at all, and continued with a sneer.
"Hehe, I said it a long time ago, those friends you made in the zoo are unreliable, they are useless except for holding them back-"
"So who the hell asked me to put pressure on the Alliance?" Bennott burst out and roared, "If it weren't for some idiot urging me to do something about it, would things have turned out the way they are?" And you, Captain Leumwan, don't forget that you're involved in this, too! You have agreed to the plan of the Armed Empire! Don't try to throw the pot all over my head! β
There was silence in the carriage, except for Bennott's heavy snort coming in and out.
The driver nervously held the steering wheel, the bodyguard sitting in the co-pilot put his eyes on the window, and Domini wiped the sweat from his head.
It's not just inside the carriage.
Lium, on the other end of the line, was also silent for a moment, and then spoke.
ββ¦β¦ Let's figure out how to solve this problem. β
Knowing that now was not the time to quarrel, Bennott quickly calmed down.
With his index finger tapping lightly on his knee, his mind spun fast and he quickly had an idea.
"Western Legion...... The ships of the Western Legion can help, and I will contact them to send a few transport ships to the southern seas, as long as we get the equipment to the port of Xifan, where we have enough capacity to tow the equipment back to Triumph City...... Drag at least some of it back. β
Lium lowered his voice.
"Then you'd better hurry, our soldiers are in a hurry to go home, and if it doesn't work, I'll dispose of the excess equipment on the spot."
Benott hurriedly said when he heard this.
"Wait, I'm not against you disposing of it on the spot, but you'll have to leave us at least a third more, or the little stock we have now won't be enough to put pressure on the Alliance's military presence in Borneoβ"
"That's your business, every day we stay in the eastern region, we will lose millions of dinars, in any case, we must withdraw more than ninety percent of our troops to the west of the Great Desert by the end of the year, this is the task assigned by the commander of the legion."
Throwing this sentence down, Lium hung up the phone without waiting for Benott to speak.
Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Bennault cursed and hung the communicator back on the car door.
ββ¦β¦ This dog thing! Give Lao Tzu a problem all day long! β
Before the end of the year......
It's almost the middle of December!
Even if he didn't take the land route and changed to the sea route, where would he get so many ships in such a short time!
Domini hesitated for a moment and whispered.
"Actually, if they can dispose of the arms locally, it doesn't hurt to let them dispose of them...... Those weapons are left in the eastern part of the Central Continent, which can cause some trouble to the alliance and enterprises, and it is not a loss for us. β
"Who cares about them," Bennott pouted, "I care about the arms they have...... That's the key to our arming empire! At least we'll have to take away what they promised us! β
Domini pinched his chin in thought.
"It's definitely too late to entrust the Western Legion, not to mention how much it costs to invite those people, even if they do come, it will be early next month at the earliest......"
"Gather a fleet from Xifan Harbor and mobilize the local expatriate, those guys who do business should have some ships in their hands, in short, they can grab as many as they can." Bennott pinched his sour eyebrows and said with a tired face.
For the sake of Xilan's "ally", he can be said to have broken his heart, helping to develop industry, helping them to recruit instructors for training, and selling equipment to them at a discount.
It's a pity that these guys can't support the wall in the mud, and they can't win the alliance, they can't even beat a group of bandits from the ravines, and they were even robbed of a state that is not much smaller than Haiya Province!
As long as these people are a little angry, he will not be anxious like this......
Looking at the sad face of Captain Benottwan, Domini hurriedly said.
"I'll get the news to Xifan Harbor as soon as possible!"
Banno nodded his head.
"Well, I'll leave it to you."
Sending the news from here to Saifan Harbor is not as convenient as making a phone call to the front line, after all, only the Golden Gallon Port in the entire Borneo Province is currently connected to the Alliance's cable, and the Mammoth State authorities, who are the Alliance's younger brothers, are still in the application stage.
Maybe......
Triumph City can consider investing in the construction of a cable in Xifan Port.
At least connect the Legion's vassal Falcon Kingdom in the eastern part of the Middle-earth continent, and it will be faster for your side to get the news of Borneo Province.
With this in mind, Benott casually picked up the "Daily Survivor" inserted on the inside of the car door, ready to read the news for a while to pass the rest of the time.
However, the moment he set his eyes on the newspaper headlines, the whole person was stunned.
I saw that the title read:
["Ladder" rail transportation company was registered! Ideal Group invested 33% of the shares, and the "Sky Ladder" plan officially entered the construction preparation stage! γ
He had always thought that the alliance had chosen to throw out the space elevator program at this point in time, and had created a bunch of conspiracy theories about "celestial beings", the main purpose of which was to divert the attention of many members of the Sticky Community to cover up a series of problems such as the unequal distribution of the spoils of the Battle of Paradise.
As a result, I didn't expect -
ββ¦β¦ Are these guys really?! (End of chapter)
