Power and Empire Chapter 1966: Empire Dawn (7)
Lightly pressing the report sent by Hu Keqili on the table, the young man picked up another document from the table, opened the previous page and handed it to Hu Keqili on the opposite side. "Look at this document, This is the content of the previous negotiations with the Istanbul people. The Istanbul people are willing to exchange things for the six provinces in the north. There are things that can be thought of, and there are unexpected ones. I am also a little hesitant. From a certain meaning From the above, this should be regarded as a kind expression of the Istanbul people, but if it is not handled properly, the Istanbul people may start a war against us for the implementation of the next strategic goal!"
"Fight against us! It shouldn't be the case!"
Hu Keqili's eyes flashed with curiosity, slightly surprised, and wanted to see what conditions could make his lord come to such a conclusion, took the opened file, looked at the content above, almost at the first place The time has come to tighten the eyebrows together, and finally know that a person like the lord will feel the serious reason. At present, only the Falcon Empire can get what the other party wants. If the Istanbul people are determined to get it, or It’s only available at war with the empire,
Hukochili quivered his lips, took a deep breath, closed the document, and said blankly, "A dragon-class battleship? The Istanbul people asked us to give them a battleship that was just outside the navy. An imperial dragon-class main battleship, this is too much, it is the highest force of the imperial navy!"
"To be precise, it is a Dragon-class main battleship equipped with all Thors, and we have captured 36 main battleships and more than 200 small and medium-sized combat ships of the Congolese Navy after the Congolese Navy defeated the Congolese Navy. The ship, this is one-third the size of the navy, and it is the number of ships that can form combat power in a short time!" The young man interrupted him aloud, and touched his nose lightly, his face a little gloomy. He said, "The other party is based on the six provinces in the north of Congo, which is really hard to refuse!"
"Although I don’t know if there have been so many seizures, it’s probably not much worse, something that I don’t even remember. The Istanbul people know so clearly, and they also include the name and the name of the battleship. Tonnage, even if we want to drop the package, we can't do it. Except for the complete record of the Congolese Navy Ministry in Gangfei, Xinjing, I think there is no other way to be so clear. What do the Istanbul people want to do? The condition is 200. It is understandable that Men Thor also has 5,000 burning bombs, but what do they want the Dragon-class battleship and the Gangfei Navy for?
The young man looked down at the river slowly passing by. The sun is shining all over the world, the river is shining brightly, and there are many houses on both sides of the river. The voice paused and said, "Do they want to engage the Feishan Kingdom at sea, but Feishan Navy claims to be the most powerful in the Eastern Bend of the Inland Sea. It has decades of naval system, and both experience and combat power are in the best condition. The Stan people only think of building a navy now. It’s too late. What if there is an Imperial Dragon-class battleship? A hero like Thoradin would not be so stupid to think that the navy is a simple combination of a bunch of battleships, otherwise He has been beaten like a dog by Fei Shan's navy! It has nothing to do with us. As long as it does not involve the interests of the empire, the demands of the Istanbul people are not excessive enough!"
"Your Majesty is really going to give it to them?"
Hu Keqili was taken aback secretly, with some worries and said, "It's okay to burn bombs, but it's a dragon-class full of Thor! And there are 200 Thors!
"It's just an ornament that satisfies the emperor's vanity!" The young man smiled slightly. The finger clicked on the document. "The Dragon-class battleship is certainly the fiercest combat power on the sea, but its ammunition consumption is also amazing. When the Istanbul people find that they can’t make their own Thor ammunition, they will know that it is just a Beautiful furnishings. As for the 200-door imperial Thor, the people of Istanbul will know what a loss-making business after a period of rejoicing! "The corners of the young man's mouth rose slightly. Showing a trace of cunning
" Lost business? What does your majesty mean? "Hu Keqili's expression was shocked.
" It’s nothing, I’m preparing to amend the Imperial Weapons Sale Act to include the Imperial Thor and Heavy Ballistas in the list of weapons that can be sold! "The young man said lightly," The Empire has landed in Obaro for several years, consecutively. With regard to the full-scale war in the central and northern regions, the secret leaks of Thor and Heavy Ballista weapons of mass destruction have long been unstoppable! No matter who the Istanbulians want to use these 200 Thors against, they will find that Thor is no longer unique to their own family. With some weapons, Istan’s expression will definitely be very depressing at that time!
" Your Majesty, please don’t be kidding. If these empire’s top military forces are also sold, they will inevitably pose a huge threat to the empire’s operations in the future! "Hu Keqili’s eyes are a little red. As a front-line combat force in the empire General Yang Yang, thinking that he will face the imperial Thor on the battlefield in the future, he still feels very tricky
"I'm not kidding!"
The young man stopped his smirk, his eyes were as sharp as a knife floated towards him, and his face solemnly said, "Because soon, the combat method of the Imperial Army will undergo a major change. The reason why the Thor and the heavy ballista can be sold in the future The reason is that the Imperial Army will fully realize the popularization of these heavy weapons. When the enemy uses extremely expensive Thor and heavy ballistas to fight us on the battlefield, the number of Thors on our side will be ten of the enemy’s. Times or even a hundred times, if the enemy thinks that they can fight us with Thor, that's really stupid!"
"Look at this!" The young man opened the drawer in the middle of the table, took out a confidential document and handed it to Hu Keqili, saying
"This is the report I received from the Imperial Armament Research Institute a month ago. The research institute has made a series of miraculous breakthroughs. It has not only solved the mystery left by the Salander prophet Ferran, and successfully copied one. Machines that use fire and steam as energy sources have also created water-powered textile machines based on drawings by Xu Dongli from China. The most shocking thing is that as enough iron ore is put into mining, the research institute according to The steel forging method in the Prophet Ferran’s record proves that the output of steel can be increased three to five times compared to the current level. The output of the Imperial Thor will reach the number of 1,000 doors a month with the new machinery and enough steel! The first batch of production The 500 Thors of Thor are already on their way here. I’m going to start with the Central Army in the Empire! From a corps with 50 doors as standard, it will spread to the size of a squadron with five doors!"
"The size of a squadron with five doors!"
Hu Keqili's body trembled slightly, and the wind was messed up. Even an imperial fighter like him was shocked. What is the concept of the scale of a squadron with five doors? A volley of tens of thousands of troops is enough to destroy a medium-sized city! At present, the most powerful Central Army in the entire empire is no more than 300 Thors! Like the Southern Army, the Northern Army. The Thor of the Northwest Legion does not even reach a hundred doors. No wonder your Majesty wants to say that the empire will soon usher in large-scale changes. At that time, it is estimated that Thor can be directly used as a squadron-level weapon into the battlefield. Even if the opposite party has some high-priced purchases The Thunder God will be completely submerged by the Empire's Thunder God Sea!
"We will defeat our opponents in power and quantity! The empire is turning into a butterfly in a place we can't see! "Hu Keqili couldn't help but flashed this sentence in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart
"You go to the negotiation site and tell the Istanbul people that their conditions are too high. A Dragon-class battleship is my thanks to them for not intervening in non-business affairs. The favor is paid. The rest is After the transaction, although the land in the north of Congo is attractive, it is now a hot area.
The refugees are everywhere, bandits are rampant, and it takes money to settle these people. If this is a commodity, it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, so I can only give them half of the warships that are just outside the navy. 200 Thors can be given to them, but they must pay for the shells and training costs of Thor equipped! "The young man took the file back and put it back in the drawer. He said to Hu Keqili, "If you add them up, it will be at least five million!" Then from next month, Raytheon will begin to sell in limited quantities, with a reserve price of 50,000 gold coins! Bidding. Of course, absolute confidentiality is still required now! ""
Hu Keqili has a look on his face, and it is indeed the consistent virtue of Your Majesty. The dead people didn't lose money and didn't make the slightest change. The Istanbul people stuck to the vast area of the northern part of Congo, stuck five million gold coins, and finally got some broken and broken warships and the ineffective Thor. This business was done. . . . It is estimated that the Istanbulians will really cry in two months! The news that the Istanbulites have 200 Thors will inevitably touch the nerves of the entire Obaro country! In order to fight against the Istanian army that has begun to sharpen their swords, the countries still don't sell their iron and buy Thor! 50,000 gold coins per door, at this price, no matter how rich you are, you will vomit blood!
The place of negotiation is Filabia, a city in central Africa.
The Istan Empire sent to contact the Falcon Empire this time is one of the most trusted generals of the Emperor Thoradin, Marquis Feifou. The Istan Emperor’s confidant sits on the negotiating seat with his eyes scanned. The negotiating documents sent back from the other side, the eyebrows are slightly frowned,
His hand flipping through the file paused. Sure enough, the other party did not agree to all of it. The other party agreed to a dragon class. Very good. His Majesty the Emperor would be happy for it. There is also a half-made Gang Fei Navy, which is really amazing. Surprise! 200 Thor delivered as many! The eyes of Marquis de Fefu blinked, and he had to pay for shells and training personnel, what! You can open a mouth like five million gold coins! It really is the rumored shameless empire! The hand of the Marquis de Feif trembles slightly
" If there is no opinion, please sign it! Our country is very fair!" Opposite him, General Hu Keqili of the Falcon Empire waved his hand to him.
" Five hundred gold coins are too much for our country to come up with so many funds! And in terms of the value of the land in the north of Congo, your country is already making a lot of money! So your unreasonable request cannot agree to the "fee" Marquis Fu raised his head coldly and touched the edge of the negotiation book with an extremely calm look
He is just over forty this year. He has a long body, a thin face, and a rare smile. His signature mark is to comb his flax hair neatly behind his head, his high forehead slightly bulges, and a hooked nose. The bright lights flashed between the opening and closing of the eyes, which made people feel that his city was deep, not angry but mighty, shrewd and wise,
In the Istanbul military, he is known as the master of offense and defense, because he always adheres to both offensive and defensive styles in combat. He must attack steadily, advance step by step, and quickly counterattack to directly attack the enemy’s weaknesses. Known as the first person in the commanding group army of the Istanian Empire, compared with the aggressive style of the Eastern Governor Khayala, the first commander of the Istanian Empire, the Emperor of Istanbul once said that there are less than 50,000 people and a strong combat force. The first player in Istanbul, Hayala, can defeat the Marquis of Fefu in just half a day. One hundred thousand people. Hayala takes two days and one hundred and fifty thousand people. The two can fight for more than ten days. Two hundred thousand people are good at elites. The raid Hayala will be surrounded until trapped to death, 300,000 people. Hayala will be defeated in half a day.
" Your Excellency, don’t forget that the Congolese and Fei areas you paid are very problematic. It is just to appease these Congolese and Fei people, and even requires a large number of troops. We need to spend a lot of money, definitely more than 5 million!"
Hu Keqili sneered at the corner of his mouth. He is not a rookie in the first negotiation. He is very clear that the other side's tough tone is already in his heart. In fact, the Istanians are losing money every day for the occupation of the Congo North. The army needs food, but the northern part of Congo did not receive food last year due to the war. Now the food consumed by the 300,000 army of Istanbul is purchased from nearby countries. If it is transported from the mainland, the cost will be Expensive, and sea transportation has been blocked by the Fei Shan Navy.
"We are not in a hurry now!"
He closed the terms on the table with his hands unceremoniously and stood up. "Money is not discussed. If you are not satisfied, then stop the negotiation for the time being. Our country does not hesitate even the top weapons. Take it out, if you can’t even take out 5 million gold coins. How can I trust your sincerity in negotiations! Let’s stop here today, and we will start when you have a decision!"
" Master Hu Keqili, please don't get angry! I didn't say not to sign. "When Hu Keqili was about to leave, Marquis Feifou's face changed. Some were unsteady. In fact, the Marquis de Feifou believed that all warships of the Congolese and African navies were exchanged for the northern part of Congo and Africa. There is a certain suspicion that the lion speaks loudly,
The land in the north of Gangfei is tempting, but from the current situation, Gangfei has been completely hopeless to recover, and the Istan Empire will not stay for a long time. In less than a year, these areas will inevitably fall into the Falcon Empire. In the hands, as for the Central European and Baro countries, it is estimated that no one would dare to **** the food of the northern Falcon, which even the coalition forces have struck, and exchange this useless land for the Thor and fuel bombs that the Istan Empire urgently needs. Part of the battleships that can fight is the plan of Emperor Thoradin,
The entire Oubaro knew that Thor in the Falcon Empire was a weapon of siege. Emperor Thoradin was confident that after obtaining 200 Thors, he would use north-south pincer tactics to defeat the Feshan Kingdom within three to five months. As for the navy’s The role is to contain Fei Shan’s navy and prevent the other party from landing in Istanbul. “Forget it, that’s it! You can get these with 5 million gold coins. It’s enough.” Marquis Feifu said to himself inwardly, these supplies It is very important and urgent for Emperor Thoradin. If the negotiation is suspended because of this, he will not be able to bear the emperor's anger!
The document of the "Filabia Agreement", which was considered by later historians to shamelessly divide the two empires between the two empires and the evidence of collusion between the two empires, was signed here.
And the greatest significance of this agreement is that this is a landmark event that the new order has been constructed in the north-central area of Obaro. The northern Falcon and the central Istanbul, the two empires touched slightly. , Chose to shake hands and make peace and move towards different directions of expansion.
At the same time, in the Lisbonto neighborhood in the center of the Putao area, raindrops hit the windowsill and turned white. The weather was very bad. The shops in the bustling neighborhood were closed. There was no one in the exchange, and it was full of goods. Merchant ships on the shore can find no buyers who can’t unload,
A family boldly opened the glass windows of the shop, and was smashed by a flying roadside stone, hiding behind the window to watch the boss was frightened and quickly hugged his head and squatted down. The wife next to him hurriedly gave a hand. Hugging the head of the daughter next to him, the glass **** on the head fell like raindrops,
"Did you see it, this is the end of the door opening!"
The domineering clamor of smugglers came from the street. Some irritable smugglers used the shops on both sides of the road as targets for venting when they could not find a way to vent.
Most of the shops on these streets are a combination of commercial and residential buildings. Shops are opened on the first floor, and the second floor is used as a living room. Most of the windows are filled with a wide range of goods. Smugglers threaten several blocks in the city from opening. , To disperse the unloading of the terminal in public, to create chaos and make the situation muddy and difficult to distinguish, to force the business alliance to come forward,
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the garrison outside the city began to march into the city. A total of 13,000 soldiers from the Second Southern Army Corps entered through the two gates of Lisbon. The black armor is like two black iron. Streams, guns are like forest, the rain of May falls on the cold faces of these soldiers, and the ground is rumbling with neat footsteps. Some smugglers wandering around the city are scared to look at the army entering the city, and some are scared. I'm used to being arrogant. I saw the army not only not afraid, but also agitated other businessmen loudly
"Don’t be afraid, everyone~ IndoMTL.com~ What about the army"
"Do they dare to attack us? We are merchants, according to the Falcon Dynasty Merchant Protection Law"
"Attacking merchants without authorization is to be deprived of their military position...These guys are old men, they dare not do it...Let’s not be afraid of us"
"Swish" a swift white light shot out from the Falcon army on the opposite side, and shot a frothed guy through his throat in front of everyone. Everyone was completely shocked. Hundreds of people held their breath at the same time,
I saw the hapless man who was shot through his throat with an arrow, his hands tightly holding the arrow shaft that shot through his throat because of suffocation and pain, his eyes bulged, like a chicken caught by an eagle, his face suffocated He was red and purple, the torn throat made a heavy wheezing sound, and the red blood foam continued to flow from the wound on his neck until his body no longer twitched,
"Stupid!" Salton, wearing a black general's armor, stood at the head of Lisbon. He watched this scene coldly, handed a list of names in his hand to the adjutant, and ordered "Send to all Squadron, today, these people are going to die!"
"Wow! There is an inexplicable chill in the rain, and a long and neat queue opens from the city gate. The armor and lances can't be seen at the end, no one makes a sound, only the rushing rain, splashing down The sound of dripping water on the iron pieces of the armor, and the murderous eyes of the squadrons in front of the queue, (to be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
