Chapter 208: The Shogunate's Long Technique to Suppress Yun Yin
Uchiha Tokumitsu gave an important speech at the Uzumaki Research Institute, fully passed the mouth addiction of the civil science, and arranged the two core research topics of the miniaturization of tailed beasts and artificial tailed beasts, and was about to leave for Konoha when a team of Kirigaku's envoys chased after him.
"What's going on?"
Uchiha Tokumi is like an arrow, and he has no desire to talk to the Fog Hidden Messenger.
"Buy battleships, buy arms!"
The messenger is still familiar with the loquat Shizang.
He is also a very straightforward ninja who likewise doesn't like to go around in circles.
"That's easy to say!"
When Uchiha Tokumitsu heard this, he immediately came to his senses and waved his hand to let the attendant ninja postpone his trip.
"What battleship do you want?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked with interest.
For a long time, the majority of the Uchiha clan's arms business is still dominated by detonation charms, and the market share of common ninja tools such as kunai and shuriken has been continuously eroded by low-cost ninja tools in countries such as the country of craftsmen.
"Ironclad!"
Loquat Shizang said: "And I want a big cylinder on it!" ”
"You want this......
Uchiha Tokumitsu leaned back, and his expression became a little strange: "That's the secret weapon of the shogunate that is the Great Wall......
"Aren't you for sale?"
Loquat Shizang asked with a frown.
"No, no, no!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head repeatedly, "I mean ......"
"Gotta add money!"
"Money is easy to say, don't be too outrageous!"
Loquat Shizang is very crisp.
Uchiha Tokumitsu likes this kind of crisp and neat person the most.
"But the three existing ironclads in service can't give it to you."
As soon as Uchiha Tokumitsu said this, Loquat Juzo was a little disappointed.
"But there are still three warships in the dock that have been launched and are undergoing sea trials, and they should be officially completed in about a month......
Peak turned, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued.
"These three ships are in the fog!"
Loquat Shizo was afraid that Uchiha Tokumitsu would come to a reversal, so he hurriedly said.
"That's fine...... The shogunate and Kigakure have always been friendly, and it is also appropriate to help each other. ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile.
"How much?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu agreed so readily, and his mouth was full of friendly nonsense, which made Loquat Shizang immediately raise his defense.
"The price is something that the people below are talking about, and as a high-level executive, we shouldn't be involved in these general affairs, otherwise it will be too bad!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said in a good voice.
In the face of the wronged big boss, he is always very patient.
"But...... No matter what the final sale price is, there will definitely be a share of yours! ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu lowered his voice and guided the way.
Loquat Shizo frowned.
Take this to the test Mist Hidden Ninja?!
"Five percent~"
Which fog can withstand such a test!
Uchiha Tokumitsu's heart is not dark, so he plans to double the R&D costs, dock construction costs, and shipbuilding costs.
In this way, the shogunate's shipyards were able to expand and build a new generation of ironclad ships.
"Drinking tea, drinking tea......"
Loquat Shizo raised his glass of tea a little awkwardly to hide his excitement.
He wanted to get up and shout at the refusal, so that he could also show the iron bones of the foggy hidden.
Just thinking about the amount of budget approved by the three generations of Mizukage before the mission......
It's just that Uchiha Tokumitsu has given too much!
Loquat Shizang seemed to hear the sound of his own festival shattering......
"The ship's big cylinder is also needed!"
Loquat Shizo coughed a little, trying to make his attitude natural, as businesslike as possible.
"Big Tube...... You're talking about torpedo torpedo launchers, right? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled so much that the folds on his face were dancing, "No problem, it's all standard!" ”
Loquat Shizo nodded calmly.
It's just that his ruddy face reveals his excitement at this time.
"But why don't you consider buying some more detonation charms?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's expression was very kind, "An ironclad ship is equipped with twenty-two torpedo launchers as standard, each torpedo is loaded with 1,200 special waterproof detonators, and three ironclad ships need to consume 79,200 detonation charms in one salvo......"
"Ahem!"
Loquat Shizang raised his glass to tea to hide his shock.
"In that case...... Then buy some more detonators......"
"This is easy to say, and the detonation charm can also be counted in the purchase cost of the ironclad ship, which is also five percent ......."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was very considerate to dispel Loquat Juzo's concerns.
"500,000 Detonators!"
Loquat Shizo typeset it very happily, and added at the end: "What I want is a special waterproof detonation charm from the Uchiha clan!" You can't make up for other inferior products! ”
"You can rest assured of the Uchiha clan's credibility in the arms business......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu likes others to kneel and punch the most.
"There is also some demand for conventional ninja equipment such as kunai shuriken, so let's purchase it together then......"
Loquat Shizang's eyes flickered.
A lot of money has been spent, and the small money of ordinary forbearance is naturally not a problem.
Besides, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is always meat, and it is not for nothing that it is not eaten.
"No problem!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu agreed.
Then he called for some delicate food, and the two continued to chat while eating.
……
"Has Yun Yin made any special moves lately?"
Tokumitsu Uchiha elegantly slice through the Kusanokuni Grand Steak and elegantly forked the pieces of meat into his mouth.
Although Loquat Juzo is silent, he has been keeping an eye on Uchiha Tokumitsu's every move with his peripheral vision.
"It's so elegant......"
Loquat Shizang thought secretly in his heart.
Even the ministers and nobles of the Land of Water do not have half the elegance of Uchiha Tokumitsu in terms of etiquette in meals!
"Is this the essence of the ninja family, the first wealthy ninja in the ninja world......"
Loquat Shizang involuntarily straightened his waist.
"Would you like some?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled and held up the glass bottle.
"This ...... The three ninja bans are ...... that require abstinence from alcohol."
Loquat Shizang's expression was a little unnatural.
"It's okay, it's okay...... It's just fermenting the must. ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu got up very enthusiastically and filled a glass of loquat Shizo, "This is the best quality grape juice produced in the dangerous valley on the top of the mountain in Kawanokuni, and the output is only two hundred bottles a year!" ”
"Good things that even daimyo may not be able to drink!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu placed the bottle on Loquat Juzo's desk.
"Grape juice ......"
Smelling the refreshing fragrance, Loquat Shizang couldn't control his hand.
Raising his glass and taking two sips, under the gentle offensive of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Loquat Shizang completely let down his guard and brought together the current situation and predicament faced by the fog.
Although the three generations of Mizukage suppressed internal instability with an iron fist and pushed for peace, there were still a large number of ninjas within the Kigakure who were disgruntled, believing that this was a loss of power and humiliation of the village.
It's just that in front of the menacing and ill-intentioned Yun Yin, Wu Yin still needs to unite under the command of the three generations of Mizukage in order to defeat the foreign enemy.
There are as many as 2,000 ninja troops attacking Yunyin across the sea, and even the Wuyin, who has been defeated repeatedly, still has nearly 10,000 registered ninjas, plus they are familiar with sea routes and waterways, it is not difficult to resist Yunyin's invasion.
It's just that Yun Yin is still sending more ninja troops, and it doesn't seem to be a simple attack.
And although the fog is on the sea and the attacking cloud hide has been back and forth, the shortage of materials and the lack of armaments also plague the fog hidden ninja army.
Because of this, Wu Yin has not been able to launch a large-scale offensive and expel Yun Yin in one fell swoop.
In the face of such a situation, the three generations of Mizukage issued a call for "the long skills of the shogunate to control the clouds", advocating learning from the Tokumitsu shogunate, which was still fighting to the death not long ago, reorganizing the new ninja army, repairing armaments, and purchasing military supplies that were in short supply.
The call of the three generations of Mizukage also alleviated the dissatisfaction of the Fog Hidden Ninja with him to a certain extent.
At first, the Fog Hidden ninja thought that the three generations of Mizukage were enduring humiliation in order to work hard and revive the momentum of the Fog Hide.
It was also under this trend of thought that the three generations of Mizukage officially signed an order to send Loquat Shizo south to negotiate the procurement of armaments to the shogunate.
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his goblet and greeted Loquat Juzo to hide the odd look on his face.
What's going on?
Foggy Westernization Movement?
The Land of Water Restoration?
Or is it civilized?
Uchiha Tokumitsu's stomach was about to cramp with laughter.
"Since Mizukage-sama is very talented and ambitious, as the general who controls the southern islands, I naturally want to participate in its grand event......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu pondered for a moment, "That's it, then I'll sponsor the construction of a shipyard at cost price, so that it will be convenient for the Kirin to maintain the ironclad ......ship in the future."
"Wouldn't that make General Deguang break the bank, how embarrassing is this......
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand again and again, signaling a trivial matter, "Now that the shogunate and the fog are both in the same vein as the land of water, it is also appropriate to support each other...... And it's included in the purchase cost~"
"That's it...... Then thank you General Deguang......"
Loquat Shizo had a smile on his face.
It's all his merit to take it back!
"I hit it off with Mr. Loquat, so naturally I want to support your work!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes were all smiling in the shape of a crescent moon.
"Drink and drink!"
Loquat Shizang laughed, no longer dwelling on the problem of fermenting grape juice.
"Wine on wine!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted the attendant ninja repeatedly.
As for aiding in the construction of the shipyard, Uchiha Tokumitsu also has bad intentions.
Although the ship repair yard will lead to a certain degree of technical leakage, it can also be used to grasp the technical level of fog concealment on the spot.
In addition, the shogunate adopted the idea of "equipment generation, research generation, and pre-research generation" in armament research and development, and there was no need to worry about being overtaken by the fog hidden curve in a short period of time, and a large amount of arms output could also suppress the independent research and development needs of the fog hidden, and the income from the arms business could be invested in new arms construction, achieving a virtuous circle.
It's a win-win!
Uchiha Tokumitsu's little face became rosy under the influence of wine.
This one...... Recently, the monthly pass has doubled, so I am cheeky and begging for a ticket again~
