Volume 2 1 Subvolume 5 - Plan before the battle

"How many ?......," the "ruthless adjudicator" asked simply.

"Probably...... 5,000 light weapons, and ...... Fifty 12-pounder guns, twenty 24-pounder guns...... I don't know...... Can you ......?" replied one of the two kingdoms, a little timidly.

"What are you going to do so much?!" the "cold adjudicator" sounded a little unpleasant—it felt like he sensed something.

"Ah...... Actually......" said one of the two kingdoms, pausing for a moment, and then stammering again, "I think...... You guys...... I think I can feel it too...... The atmosphere of war in the various kingdoms here ...... It's getting thicker...... We don't want to ...... Defeated by the opponent in one fell swoop...... Only...... That's it......"

"Hmm...... Hmph...... "The Ruthless Adjudicator" smiled coldly, and continued, "Indeed, there have been other kingdoms asking us for weapons recently, and you are not too stupid, and you know how to buy weapons!"

"Ah?......" The man of Kingdom Two was a little frightened—he had no idea what the "cold adjudicator" meant.

"It's one thing to be stupid or not...... "The Grim Adjudicator" paused, then added, "but ...... Whether there is money or not, it's another matter!"

The people of Kingdom Two lowered their heads and looked nervously at the "cold adjudicator", not daring to say anything.

"But don't think you'll get any discount if you buy too much!" the grim adjudicator continued, "the price is still the same, you can pay as much as you have to pay for the raw materials, or as many other resources as you have to pay!, can you afford it?"

"Ah...... Yes...... OK...... No problem...... "The man from Kingdom Two replied timidly, nodding his head timidly.

"Okay, I hope you won't be unable to hand over anything by then...... "Ruthless Adjudicator" then said, according to the previous trading rules, the people of the local civilization should hand over all the items in this transaction first, and then the other party will send weapons.

"Ah...... No...... We can make ......."

In any case, the "ruthless adjudicators" finally agreed to such a request.

The first step of the action has already had a small success.

Of course, in the future, they may need more weapons, and there are many more other areas of action that need to be pushed forward.

[The general era is 101030, and the line infantry civilization is 5031, early summer. Kingdom One, the capital of Kingdom One, the royal palace. 】

The king of Kingdom One is enjoying a lunch of steak and potato salad in the restaurant.

At this moment, a herald in the palace suddenly ran in.

"This is the armistice of Kingdom Two!" he shouted, placing a letter on the table next to the king.

"Oh?...... ?......The king of Kingdom One smiled and continued, "Do you want to surrender?...... Well...... Then we can easily get a better trading price...... Not bad!"

The king of Kingdom One, as he spoke, put down the cutlery in his hand and tore open the envelope.

He took out the folded letter and looked at it.

"What?!" the king of Kingdom One was suddenly startled, "this ?......"

"What's the matter?!!Your Majesty?!" The palace herald on the side was full of curiosity and surprise.

The expression of the king of the first kingdom looked puzzled: "Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be ......"
