Red Blood Dragon Knight
Chapter 997: Personality and politics
Everyone in Lorraine is a person who does great things. Once a decision is made, they will immediately begin to act.
In the afternoon, while the Grand Duke was still in the headquarters, he ran into the palace to show his courtesy before leaving early, and Lorraine told him about his plan to sell the cannon.
Grand Duke Julian immediately made Long Yan joyous. Without hesitation, he patted the handrail and said, "Okay, okay, okay~! Isa has been begging me for this for a long time. But this matter is very important. I have always been I didn't dare to agree. Because this Isha showed my face."
"Iisa?" Lorraine took a moment to react, the Grand Duke was talking about Queen Isabella.
Imagine the Grand Duke Julian who was in his forties and almost fifty years old, and Queen Isabella, who was so called twenty-something and graceful...
Lorraine shuddered immediately and got goose bumps, and said inwardly: Does it need to be so intimate?
This old guy really has the potential to blame his uncle~!
Archduke Julian spread his hands helplessly at this time, and sighed: "If you don't understand, do you?"
Lorraine couldn't help sighing, nodded and said, "Yes."
Then, Grand Duke Julian patted Lorraine's fan sympathetically.
Of course Lorraine knew what Archduke Julian meant. If Catherine hadn't been staring at him, Archduke Julian might have agreed with his ears. He was worried that his daughter would be very likely to go crazy. A big deal was agreed.
But a small beauty trick took him away. From this point of view, the old guy's will is really weak enough.
Sure enough, Leo is the same virtue~!
Grand Duke Julian hesitated again, hesitatingly said: "Right, Lorraine. Will there be any side effects to this?
Of course I am not talking about Isabella here, the Almohad is very obedient now.
I mean……"
He calmed down a bit, and then said: "In the future, if there is a war between us, they will turn their guns and aim them at us. That would be a bad thing."
Leo flicked his hair freely next to him, patted Xiaongfu in a big way, and said, "Don't worry, old man. There will be no accident.
As long as the cannonballs are in their hands, they can't get out of our palms. Dare to stab, see if I don’t toss, he is better than dead~! "
Grand Duke Julian thought for a while and hesitated: "But this technology for making propellant and shells...Can't they imitate it?" Leo gave his father a blank look and said in an angry tone: "Old man, what you said is too bad. You didn't find someone to study it. The result is not very clear."
Archduke Julian couldn't help but stagnate. It was a bit uncomfortable to be revealed by his son.
I wanted to take the opportunity to make a big hit, but I felt that I was at a loss.
For a while, the old face turned purple and red, hot. I can't say a word.
At first, pulling the cannon back, it was a waste of energy. As a result, the shells were short of the enemy.
And the artillery shells sold by the Flying Eagle Company were too sturdy to cheat him.
In order not to be recorded by his son, Grand Duke Julian also asked his men to have seen the shells and propellants of the artillery.
Of course, Archduke Julian knew that the price of these thirty gold coins was the price of Leo's lion's open mouth.
Just think about Lorraine's Victory-Class War Vision, and know that a battleship is equipped with nearly a hundred artillery, wouldn't that one volley kill three thousand gold coins.
According to the navy captain, the Victory used to be a mobile turret near the shore while suppressing pirates.
The puppies didn't blink their eyes when they fired their guns.
And once you hit "Hi," the shells were thrown on the shore like no money. Even if there was an active old hen, there were also seven or eight artillery greets.
If the ammunition is so expensive, even with the wealth of the Flying Eagle Group, it will definitely not be able to consume it.
However, Grand Duke Julian couldn't come up with a suitable reason, so he could only pinch his nose to recognize it, and went back to secretly study the ammunition of the artillery, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end.
If this business is only Leo's, then nothing to say. His old man and his son would never be polite, and just grabbed them.
However, it included Lorraine, Adele, Catherine, Shirme Lìya, Lorraine... and so on. If this was really grabbed, he would really not be able to take that old face.
Not to mention, none of those are fuel-efficient lamps. He can't afford to offend either.
Therefore, after a fierce and complicated ideological struggle, he finally gave up with a long sigh and angrily.
Although he did it very concealedly, the old housekeeper secretly told his eldest lady later.
This old guy is really unreliable in doing things.
Oh, my son worked hard to set up a factory and earn two small dollars. He doesn't help and doesn't talk about it, and he still wants to dig a corner for others.
In the whole world, there is no such thing as a father.
After being known by Leo, he clamored to impose duties on his father as punishment.
However, because he hadn't caught the real evidence, Leo could also call two voices and do it angrily.
At this time, seeing that his little actions were revealed again, the old man, no matter how thick his face was, he felt a little uncontrollable.
He laughed twice, then stood up and said to himself: "I will tell Isha the good news. Haha, hahaha..."
Leo stretched out his hand to grab Grand Duke's clothes and said, "Hey, don't run, we are discussing your problem."
The Grand Duke turned a deaf ear, and disappeared in a flash.
That night, Grand Duke Julian did not come back until late.
However, according to the Grand Duke himself, he is discussing with Isabella how the emergence of artillery, a cross-age weapon, will have a significant impact on modern warfare, and the trend and direction of artillery in future wars...
Catherine was skeptical after hearing his mouthful of nonsense.
But since no evidence was found, he could only complain to Lorraine. In the end it just murmured: "In the middle of the night, I still leave men to chat, not serious."
However, according to Lorraine's estimation, what the Grand Duke Julian said should be the truth.
Put aside the feud. Almohad and Ruman are both large countries, and there are naturally regional situations and conflicts of interest between the two countries.
This is just like when Ruman Empire could not marry its eldest princess to Almohad, and Almohad absolutely cannot tolerate it. Ruman's royal blood flowed in Almohad.
In the future, there will be war between the two countries. The little prince Almohad led the army to attack Ruman. At that time, the white-haired Grand Duke appeared in front of the army and told him affectionately: "Tell you a secret. Actually, I am your father~!"
Then, under the crowd in the hall, after a series of dog-blood methods such as blood confession and D-test, the truth became clear.
The little prince was full of affectionate tears, opened his hands, rushed to the grand prince, and shouted: "Oh Dusan~!"
The two father and son who had just met hugged each other tightly, and wept happy tears D~!
At that time, everyone was still bashing. I had to raise my hand obediently and surrender, waiting for the other party to clean up.
The same goes for Ruman Empire.
In case one day, the boss of the Ruman Empire suddenly hangs up, Leo has not had time to put his **** on the throne.
The little prince of Almohad over there suddenly said to him: "Oba~! I am actually the son of an injustice. Ouba~! I also have the right to inherit the throne of the Ruman Empire. Ouba~ !"
D~!
Everyone just wait for another Hundred Years War~!
Although Archduke Julian is now stunned by the beauty, Queen Isabella is a wise man, and of course he won't let Archduke Julian benefit.
Early the next morning, Prince Manazis came to say goodbye to Leo, and by the way finalized the negotiation of the joint venture company, and gave Leo a lot of gifts.
Prince Manazis has always adhered to the noble etiquette.
Leo got up early, and circulated around the hall with her little hand on her back. Xiaobai followed Leo with her head buried, and they waited for Prince Manazis to come to the door.
Seeing Prince Manazis, before he could speak, Leo came up and said: "Inheriting the long-standing traditional friendship between Ruman and Parthia..."
Prince Manazis was taken aback, thinking when we Parthians and Ruman people have traditional friendship, and the historical tradition of cutting heads with each other is very long.
Leo continued: "I decided to give you ten artillery pieces for free."
Talking about Leo, he stretched out ten fingers and gestured in front of Prince Manazis.
Prince Manazis was stunned by this sudden happiness.
Although his ears kept buzzing after going back yesterday, and he didn't sleep well until the middle of the night, the feeling of playing with artillery is really enjoyable.
"This, is it okay?" Prince Manazis looked at Leo eagerly.
Last night, he had discussed with Cefel, and the two agreed that the Ruman might not give them the artillery thing, but they had to ask the peacekeepers.
It’s Ruman’s business to give it or not, or whether it’s their Parthian business. You can’t wait for something like "We don’t have artillery, so what's the matter?" Ruman said lightly, "You I didn’t ask us if we wanted~!"
At this time, if they say "I guess you won't give it if I ask for it," it would be meaningless.
On the contrary, when the future battle situation is unfavorable, or when they are making their own small calculations and slowing down, they can accuse the Ruman people of holding artillery and the like.
"It's not that the brethren don't work hard, it's that your friendly forces don't fight for justice."
But now before they say anything, Leo took the initiative to offer it, or give it away for free. Even the old world like Cifefer is also very surprised, thinking: Is there really a pie in the sky? Wouldn't there be any other plans?
Leiou waved his hand and said boldly: "Of course. This chairman said no two, he said he would send you off. Don't worry, dear."
After that, he sighed heavily and said: "I originally didn't agree with my father and boss. This is the arms control treaty, which restricts the export of weapons. Even our allies can't sell me. It's a good idea to let them reluctantly agree. I can. They promise that you are a good friend you can trust.
Since we are partners, I think Dong Ma, you are all over the world and you deserve to meet each other. This serves as a gift for us to establish a joint venture. "
Crown Prince Manakis rubbed his hands and said, "How embarrassing, how embarrassing..................Haha, hahaha~!"
Prince Manazis would think Leo was too much friend.
The chubby little guy in front of him is a nasty little hooligan, just like an angel with white wings.
Prince Manazis held Leo's little hand tightly with both hands, and praised: "His Royal Highness, you are such a great person~!"
Leo was at school with white teeth on the surface, and he cursed in his heart: Bah, bad luck, you are a good person, your whole family is a good person, I wish you a good person card for a lifetime.
Prince Manazis would be more pleasing to see Leo, thinking that when others say bad things about Leo, it must be because of jealousy that he slandered Chairman Leo. No matter from that aspect, Leo is quite a friend.
Leo also laughed with him and said, "Of course, it's not without strings attached. You know, Dong Ma, it's not easy to get my dad to nod and agree. But I have tried my best to get the best for you. Excellent conditions."
Prince Manazis nodded like the chicken, and said: "Understand, understand. These days, there are no conditions attached to military purchases."
Shifei became vigilant, and said inwardly: "Is there a trap?"
Leo grabbed his finger and said, "First of all, ammunition is not free, but I have already won a discount for Dong Ma. We will give you another 20% off the cost, and supply you with 151 rounds of ammunition, repairs and refunds. , Replacement, and free delivery. You don’t need to pay for the postage at all."
Prince Manazis nodded in agreement and said, "It should be."
Although a round of 200 gold coins is a bit more expensive, it is enough to fire a few shots and use it when it is critical.
Lei Ou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would have the price to go to the sky, and they agreed to a counter-offer~!
Leo muttered in his heart: Big dog. The second generation ancestor is the prodigal. I worked so hard to prepare the words that I had been talking about for a long time, and it was useless.
Leo originally planned to ask for one hundred gold coins. Lorraine said that even if he went high, some people in the weapon trade were born with a small receiver, and they were willing to buy second-hand goods that had been used for ten years at ten times the price. Bargain.
Leo temporarily added one hundred and fifty gold coins, but he would have regretted it, and said in his heart: *, it's going to be lower, I didn't expect this kaizi to be so good.
But at this time, turning around to increase prices, it seems that I am too low-level.
"Second?" Leo said: "Ammunition is supplied in limited quantities. Each gun can be equipped with a maximum of ten rounds at a time, but I can guarantee that it will be supplemented."
Prince Manazis agreed without hesitation.
"Finally, we need to marry a supervisor to supervise the use of artillery and ammunition consumption."
Leo said.
"This..." Prince Manazis hesitated.
Leo sighed and said, "Dear, you have to be considerate of your brother. Without this, it would be impossible for my father to agree."
Prince Manazis glanced at Cefer, who nodded slowly.
With this condition, Cefer was relieved. He knew in his heart that this was normal.
If the conditions are too favorable, there must be a ghost.
"Okay, I agree," Prince Manazis said, simply: "Even if the salary of these people goes to my brother, I will give them the treatment of external experts."
Leiou smiled and said: "Ma Dong is really proud. On the day our joint venture company was established, these artillery pieces will be put on the door of the company as a gift.
Let's give a high five. "
Prince Manazis stretched out his hand and patted Leo's small hand firmly, then the two raised their heads and laughed.
Even Xiefei laughed with a few sparse beards. He has now determined that this is the benefit the Ruman people gave them for the joint venture.
He decided to wait for the artillery to get in hand and immediately experiment with the new tactics.
Crown Prince Manazis finally left Hafs Harbor with a satisfied mood. Before leaving, he gave another big gift to Chairman Leo.
In the eyes of Prince Manazis, these Rumans did not have the stubborn horrors of the old gang in the country. They described Archduke Julian as the evil spirits of hell.
They are obviously very reasonable.
Back then, everyone had their own standpoints, so let’s not talk about those struggles. Now that everyone stands on the same stand, Ruman is very interesting.
Even Prince Manazis suspected that the old guys had been exaggerating Ruman's threat theory, and they did not mean to make war fortune or support their own soldiers.
Isn't it obvious that this is not the case? Ruman is very easy to talk.
On the contrary, when there is no battle, his father will streamline the army and take some disobedient people.
In recent years, military expenditures on the border with the Ruman Empire have increased year after year, but the scale of the conflict has become smaller and smaller.
After careful consideration, Prince Manazis told Cefer his thoughts.
Finally, he said: "If the empire negotiates with Archduke Julian as soon as possible, even if it makes some concessions at the negotiating table, as long as it can waive the huge * cost of protracted war preparations on the Western Front, it will be a huge victory for us. I can't figure out why. I have been working hard in this regard."
Although Leo Tifa's additional conditions are a bit harsh, it is a great favor to be able to give them artillery.
This favor, he recognized Prince Manazis.
Prince Manazis always believed that he was very successful in his own life. Whoever respected him would be respected by his prince. "We are all destined to become emperors. If you treat me like a king, I will The king treats you with grace."
Prince Manazis would feel sorry for His Highness Leo.
Even the matter of Leo mō his wallet was regarded by Prince Manazis as a kind joke between two great emperors, destined to last forever and become a good talk praised by the world.
Cefer hesitated for a while, and finally sighed, "How can we shoot. Actually, we and the Ruman have a tacit understanding. The other party has a team, and we also have a team. Both parties are working hard to prevent the conflict from expanding. But there are more than 200,000 soldiers on the western front, and millions of people are involved. If they don’t fight, what they eat and drink. We are willing to negotiate, and they will also create some incidents."
Cefer secretly said in his heart: If you don't fight, how to get promoted, how to make war money~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Except for your royal family and ordinary people, it is estimated that no one wants peace on the Western Front, and that will cut the way for many people. The most important thing is that Julian is not willing.
If he doesn't fight, what excuses does he have for supporting millions of soldiers. Even if their Parthians were unwilling to fight, Julian would force them to fight.
In fact, in many cases, both sides are cooperating with each other in a tacit understanding to deceive military expenses.
But these things, Cefer did not dare to tell this son-in-law, he would offend too many people by saying that, he would be smashed behind the scenes, and he could only comprehend it.
Prince Manazis suddenly said: "It turns out that it is. It is equivalent to saying that they kidnapped the entire empire."
Cefer said: "I hope that this stubborn disease can be solved in the hands of the big young man."
On the same day, after Her Majesty’s continuous efforts, and after arduous negotiations by a group of imperial officials, the Almohad Empire finally reached a new arms purchase agreement with the Flying Eagle Group.
The new army of the Almohad Empire will receive a variety of advanced weapons including artillery. ! .
