Chapter 805 The disturbance caused by a batch of weapons
Replacing a Goblin excavator with a Conqueror No. 10 tank, Mosquito felt that the price he paid was already very fair. [.\nCOM Situ updated the chapter to be the most complete and comprehensive, and the error-free content was repaired in the most timely manner. Due to caching reasons

It’s the same two tracks. Is it too much to replace one with the other?
It’s not too much at all, okay!
He didn't even consider depreciation.
Moreover, the tanks of the Legion are originally of the type that are large in quantity and well managed, with almost no eye-catching black technology. The only bright spot is the ridiculously high equivalent thickness of the armor.
He bought this thing for one purpose, and that was to sell it to Borneo Province.
Except for a few warlords there, I'm afraid no one is interested in this thing.
However, what he didn't expect was that this Wilante man didn't know what to do and threw his hand away angrily.
"go away!"
An excavator was exchanged for a tank, and it was a Conqueror 10 heavy tank!
In his opinion, this offer was simply humiliating!
Seeing that the business could not be done, Mosquito felt anxious, but he was not discouraged and quickly pulled him and said again.
"Brother, don't refuse in a hurry. Let me analyze it for you. You can bring this equipment from the front line to the rear. You can spend enough money to build another batch in the rear. Even if you don't dispose of it, it will be scrapped in place. Why not
How about taking the opportunity to make a fortune?"
When the captain heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You can make a fortune from anything! Tell me how you can make a fortune by replacing the tank with an excavator! Can't I sell it myself?"
Mosquito said with a smile.
"Ahem, then you have to have somewhere to sell it... You guys don't have ships or railways, and you can't travel too far. Who else but me will buy it? Besides, I'll give you the excavator in exchange.
But they are all good things. Even if the construction site here is finished, you can still drive the excavator to dig earth at other construction sites and earn back the money for the tank casually!"
Being stunned by this nonsense, the tenth captain was stunned for a moment, and his mind could not turn around for a while.
"...What do you mean by going to another construction site to dig earth?"
Mosquito's mind was spinning quickly and he quickly explained.
"This other construction site, of course, refers to other construction sites... Ahem! The alliance plans to build a port and a settlement nearby. When the time comes, it will definitely provide money for the work. You have people and engineering equipment, but you are still worried about having no work.
Do it? Even if you don’t want to do it yourself, it doesn’t matter. You can still earn rent by renting the equipment to people who need it. It’s just a question of how much you earn.”
As soon as he heard that the Alliance was going to build a port and settlement nearby, the ten-capion suddenly reacted.
"This is wrong...you are members of the alliance, why should we help you work!"
Mosquito said dumbfounded.
"Why can't you turn your head around? What does this have to do with whether we are members of the alliance... Even if you don't like us, you have no grudge against Qian, right?"
After hearing this sentence, the tenth commander thought for a while in his head, and it seemed that this was also the case.
Although the alliance is not lovable, those white silver coins are quite lovable and can buy a lot of good things.
Seeing that the ten-captain seemed to be moved, Mosquito quickly continued while the iron was hot.
"Look, this battle is over. Those tanks and artillery are definitely no longer needed, but you guys probably won't be able to evacuate for a while. You probably have to stay here for a while. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to make some money?"
How about spending some pocket money to improve your life?"
The captain thought for a while and said in a low voice.
"How much do you need?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Mosquito said with a smile.
"As much as you want! And it's not just tanks, aircraft, cannons and even rifles... As long as it's something you can't use for the time being, we'll take it all, and the price is negotiable!"
"I can't make a decision on this matter...but I can help you ask my superior. My name is Anthony, what about you? What do you call me?"
"Mosquito! Hey, just call me Mosquito. Almost everyone in the blue coat over there in the alliance knows me." Mosquito smiled knowingly and handed the money bag he had prepared in advance to the Weiland man's hand.
In the hands, "a little thought is not a sign of respect."
The captain held the money bag and weighed it in his hands for a while, with a happy expression on his face, and he readily agreed.
"Wait for my news!"
After saying these words, he greeted his teammates who had just come out of the ruins and walked towards the camp.
Watching the man leave, Mosquito grinned, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then walked towards the bulletproof SUV parked under an abandoned building.
This bulletproof off-road vehicle is exactly the one produced by Beidao Heavy Industries.
Ever since he discovered that the doors of this car could withstand RPG armor-piercing bullets, he decisively placed an order for an entire fleet.
Sitting in the driver's seat was one of his "little brothers" [Death], holding the steering wheel and waiting for him boredly.
Watching Mosquito open the door and sit on the passenger seat, Suo Ming said helplessly.
"...We have our own products, why don't we sell our own goods?"
The work of the goblin technology is much more ruthless than that of the Valantians.
However, Mosquito looked disapproving and said plausibly.
“The money earned from selling products is not as good as free money.”
Of course he also sells his own arms, but this does not prevent him from doing business with the Weirant people.
What's more, now that the war is over, it is not suitable to open a new production line.
Judging from the series of actions of managers in the southern seas, outer space exploration is the next version of the answer!
If you want to stay ahead of the version, you have to learn to predict!
Mosquito has already thought about it. There is no problem at all in making this business worth two to three billion silver coins!
He plans to invest all the money in Goblin Technology's new business - outer space equipment development projects!
Just when Mosquito was dreaming about his spring and autumn dream, he always felt that there was something wrong with why he died while driving. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"...Is this business reliable?"
Mosquito smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, 90% of it is done!"
It seems that there is still a 10% failure rate...
Su Ming thought this in his heart, looked at him and continued to ask.
"Where to go now?"
"Go to the port," as he spoke, Mosquito had already placed the coordinates on the VM, and with a confident smile on his face, he chattered, "I have already contacted the buyer, who is the representative of the warlord General Jha in Huzhou.
.We are waiting at the port on the Death Coast right now, so don’t leave our distinguished guest hanging for too long!”
Tiger State... seems to be the state north of Kingallen Port?
I have never been to Borneo Province, so I clicked on the VM map and took a look before I found out where the place was.
Unimaginable.
Such a geomantic treasure, far away from all the core crises in the wasteland, can actually absorb hundreds of millions of silver coins in arms.
"What do the warlords there want to do? Join the Legion?"
Mosquito chuckled and said nonchalantly.
"No matter what they do, even if they are fighting against the brothers of the Burning Legion, we should still sell the equipment... just to find something to do for those hanging people."
Merely selling weapons does not violate the player's handbook. The best-selling item in the wasteland is arms.
There is only one situation where you may get hammered, and that is selling weapons to forces that have declared hostility or embargo to the Alliance.
However, this transaction object obviously does not fall into that situation, and does not even have the potential to be targeted by the alliance.
"..."
Duan Ming glanced at this guy speechlessly, and his eyes fell on the map again.
It was obviously an oasis that was far larger than the "oasis" in Luoxia Province. There were no mother nests, no alien species, and no mutants or other messy things.
Although it is also part of the wasteland, there is no place in the entire wasteland that is closer to heaven, or more suitable for farming...
After staring at that Feng Shui treasure for a long time, Su Ming finally couldn't help but sigh.
"...It's really shallow and bastard."
…
In the magnificent banquet hall of Beidao Hotel, well-dressed guests were walking around the long table.
Most of the people present were prominent figures from the Alliance and the South China Sea Alliance.
Among them are officials from political circles, representatives from industry, and senior figures from academia.
For example, shareholders of Baiyue Company, senior executives of Beidao Heavy Industries, researchers of the scientific expedition team, etc.
In addition, some survivor forces that have good relations with the South China Sea Alliance have also been invited.
For example, the Mengma Prefecture authorities have a labor export relationship with the South China Sea Alliance, and the Jingallang Port authorities and the Hump Kingdom, which have close trade ties with the southern seas, etc.
The guests chatted with each other at the banquet, and the content they talked about was not only the new order after the War in Heaven and the Civil War in the Southern Sea, but also the "orbitless space elevator" that was being sited and other possibilities for cooperation.
As a mysterious and wealthy tycoon from Borneo, Duke Nihak stole the show at the banquet.
Originally, the organizers had some concerns about inviting the Duke of Nihak and the representatives from Golden Gallen Port at the same time, but the former soon discovered that this concern was completely unnecessary.
Not only did Duke Nihak not care at all about the unpleasantness that had occurred in the past, he even generously provided an interest-free loan of 10 billion celans to Golden Gallon Port.
Nakang's gesture of spreading money won everyone's exclamations and applause, and the former also became more and more popular among the people's pursuit. Even the Camelback Kingdom received a loan of 10 billion.
Looking at the red-faced Duke Nihak, Lao Bai, who was standing in the corner of the banquet hall, couldn't help but complain.
"...What is the maximum face value of Xilan coins? One hundred million?"
Fang Chang said with a smile.
"It seems like 1,000, I can't remember."
Lao Bai was silent for a while, then shook his head and said.
"...It's really crazy."
Although he didn't know how many silver coins the Xilan coins could be exchanged for, he heard that the relationship between that thing and the gallon was 5:4, and the exchange rate between the latter and silver coins was stable at around 10:1.
Ten billion Xilan coins are almost 1 billion silver coins. After all, this thing is not real paper, but can be exchanged for genuine goods.
Looking at Lao Bai with an incomprehensible expression, Fang Changdan smiled and said.
"Most slave owners are like this. It's not their own money that they spend anyway. In the end, it's the screwdrivers who pay back... Do you think he cares? If I were him, I definitely wouldn't care either."
The crazy printing of banknotes will continue to dilute the debt tied to it. At this time, as long as there is a way to exchange Xilan coins for silver coins or Cr or dinars, you can make money if you can borrow them.
After all, it was an interest-free loan.
Even if you don't make any investment, just exchange it for silver coins and buy some alliance bonds for capital-guaranteed financial management, you can earn a lot of interest out of thin air.
As for the exchange rate losses caused by the future appreciation of Xilan currency?
As fast as Duke Nihak writes checks, the empire's serfs can't stop the downward trend even if they step on their sewing machines and make them smoke.
There are only two possibilities for the "speculative" little sparrows like the South China Sea Alliance and the Camelback Kingdom to lose money, and that is that the alliance bonds they buy cannot beat the alliance's inflation.
Or, when the low-caste serfs of the empire stepped on their sewing machines, they stepped on the antimatter reactor.
This possibility is not impossible, but the high probability can only happen in Duke Nihak's daydream.
But even though he said that, Fang Chang felt a little sour in his heart.
Especially when he saw that the envoy of the Camelback Kingdom got a ten billion interest-free loan from Nihak with just a few compliments, he was even more envious.
These guys have no ability to make the cake bigger, but they are more active than the other when cutting the cake.
The most outrageous thing is that the cake was cut more aggressively than the knife used to cut the cake.
On the contrary, he, the baker, could only bake his pancakes honestly.
“It’s unreasonable.”
Fang Chang shook his head, sighed and walked away, out of sight and out of mind.
What he didn't know was that just as he shook his head and left, Governor Nihak's eyes were fixed on him, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
What a stupid guy.
In just one banquet, he almost bought off all the alliance partners, but the alliance that had been poached had no idea about it.
Now, Xilan Coins have filled the Wastelanders' pockets, just as the Alliance stuffed Silver Coins into the Wastelanders' pockets.
We'll see.
These arrogant guys will lose to their own arrogance sooner or later!
While Duke Nihak was imagining how the alliance would collapse in ten or twenty years, the managers of the alliance were working with a group of juniors to draw up a picture of what would happen in ten or twenty years.
"...We can't keep chewing on the legacy left by the People's League era. Only by returning to outer space to regain the territory of the People's League era can we create an era greater than the past!"
Warm applause surrounded Chu Guang. Standing in the crowd, he was more like the protagonist than Duke Nihak.
An era greater than the era of prosperity!
This sounds not only wonderful, but even a bit dreamy.
Almost everyone had excited expressions on their faces.
Of course, there are also concerns and worries on some people's faces.
A minister from the Camelback Kingdom's court raised his right hand and nodded slightly in salute after getting Chu Guang's attention.
"Dear Mr. Manager, I must admit that your plan is grand...but I want to ask one thing."
Chu Guang said pleasantly.
"Please ask."
The minister looked at him seriously and continued.
"When the time comes as you mentioned, where will we... or the people of the Sand Sea Spirit be?"
There were whispers all around.
The expression on Chu Guang's face did not change at all, and his gentle tone remained the same.
"The new era we expect is the result of discussions between people of all ethnic groups. You can stay wherever you want, as long as it does not affect other people on this boat. We will provide assistance to those who do not want to go to the new era.
People have enough time to think about their place in the universe and decide when to take the final step... This is not forced."
After hearing Chu Guang's answer, the minister was obviously relieved, nodded slightly, said "thank you", and then retreated into the crowd behind him.
Compared to other kingdoms in the desert, Camelback Kingdom is actually relatively enlightened.
In particular, the residents of Silver Moon Bay are no less receptive to new ideas than the residents of Dawn City.
The royal family of the Camelback Kingdom is not worried about new ideas being born in the land protected by the Silver Moon Goddess. They are only worried that the flame of progress will be too hot and burn their prosperity to ashes.
However, it can be seen from the manager's answer that the alliance has no intention of doing so.
At least for now they don't have to worry about being burned by the scorching flames.
After chatting for a while with the guests who were interested in the space elevator project, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he moved to the long table to get a bottle of champagne.
Due to the unpleasant memories of his previous life, he doesn't like alcohol very much, but he is not averse to low-alcohol sparkling wine.
And just when Chu Guang was taking a few sips alone, a young man suddenly walked over from the side, looked at him and said respectfully.
"Dear Mr. Manager, I am Wei Lu, the envoy from Mengma Prefecture. Please allow me to take up a moment of your time."
Hearing the voice coming from beside him, Chu Guang put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him, but unexpectedly saw a little shadow of Shu Yu in him.
Especially his piercing eyes and his energetic temperament.
Chu Guang said pleasantly as he had a good impression of the polite young man.
"Of course, what can I do?"
Weilu took a deep breath and said in a respectful tone.
"I want to sell you... us."
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
"Interesting statement."
"Since you find it interesting, I will continue," Weiru walked up to Chu Guang and continued with piercing eyes, "The trade route of the Borneo Sea is an important foreign trade channel for the alliance. Merchant ships departing from Silver Moon Bay will
The Alliance's goods are carried to all parts of the coastline of Middle-earth... However, the Alliance only has one military base on the coast of the Borneo Sea. Don't you think it is too little?"
Chu Guang looked at him with interest.
"What do you mean?"
Weiru continued without stopping for a moment.
"The Mengmao State authorities can provide the alliance with a piece of coastal land as a strategic fulcrum for the alliance in the northern part of the east coast of Borneo! We do not charge any fees and are even willing to bear part of the logistical expenses of your local garrison!"
Good guy.
Is this an attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Upon hearing this astonishing proposal, Chu Guang glanced at the young man in surprise.
"Is this your idea or yours?"
Weilu: "Of course it was our idea!"
Chu Guang smiled and said.
"I know what you want to do, but unfortunately, the alliance's troops cannot help you fight the civil war. We have more important things to do."
After hearing the wording of rejection, Weilu did not give up, but continued.
"We will not ask you to participate in our war, not in any way, I can guarantee you that!"
"But if we want to keep that military port, we have to try to prevent you from losing the civil war, right?" Chu Guang saw through his thoughts at a glance and did not hesitate to dismantle them.
However, Weiru, who was discovered, did not show any embarrassed expression on his face, and just continued speaking without changing his expression.
"Why not? We are obviously more worthy of investment than the Xilan Empire. The first thing we do after seizing control of Mengma State is to abolish slavery! We will write what we are doing into the constitution, and wait for us
After capturing the entire empire, we will immediately do the same thing in the entire province of Borneo!"
"It does sound good," Chu Guang nodded, "but have you ever thought about it, if we end, you will no longer have to face the empire."
Once the Alliance intervenes in the civil war in Borneo, the Legion will end immediately.
The final result was nothing more than a proxy war between the Alliance and the Legion in Borneo Province, and this was the last thing Chu Guang wanted to see.
He still has a lot to do, including the development of the Tianting, the development of outer space, etc.
Another fight with the Legion will not do any good for either the Alliance or the Community. Instead, it will cause the survivors who have finally united to fall back into internal strife.
Seeing that Chu Guang had no interest in intervening in the Borneo Province, Weilu couldn't help but become a little anxious and couldn't help but speak out.
"I know you are worried about the fate of the legion... but in fact, those Weirant people have already ended. They are sending everything they can except troops to our border! Some of them even use you
supply lines!”
Hearing the key information in this sentence, Chu Guang frowned slightly.
"My supply line?"
Weilu lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"It is... they used your railway to transfer part of the military supplies from the Weifu Wasteland to the Falcon Kingdom, then from the eastern industrial area of the Great Desert to the northwest of Borneo Province, and finally delivered it to the hands of the Gray Wolf Army
."
Chu Guang looked into his eyes.
"But I heard that they plan to transport those materials back to the legion's homeland."
Weilu said immediately.
"Obviously they lied to you! They plan to use the weapons sent to the front line in the name of 'fighting for the destiny of all mankind' to arm the Xilan Empire!"
The amount of military supplies hoarded in the wasteland of the Wei Mansion was astronomical, and it would be troublesome to keep them there. Therefore, when the legion proposed to use the alliance's railway to transport the supplies home, Chu Guang readily agreed.
After all, "providing convenience for soldiers who go to the front line to return home after the war is over" is itself part of the coalition agreement.
He even gave the Legion a discount on the transportation resources occupied by the legion, and both parties shared the freight.
However, now it seems that Mr. Bennot obviously played a trick and turned around when the weapons were transported to the legion's sphere of influence.
If this is the case, then this matter is not just a matter for Mengmazhou.
Chu Guang thought for two seconds and nodded.
"...I understand. I will learn about the relevant situation. If the situation is true, we will give you some compensation."
After hearing Chu Guang's reply, Weilu wisely did not continue to pester him and nodded slightly respectfully.
"Thank you for your understanding...we look forward to hearing from you."
Watching the representatives of Mengma Prefecture leave, Chu Guang first called Lu Bei and asked the Guards Corps to verify the relevant situation. Then he found Vanus, who was also at the banquet, and told him what Wei Lu had just mentioned.
Repeated it again.
Vanus lowered his head and thought for a long time before speaking.
"This seems like something that the civil service group can do... They should have reached some kind of agreement with the Eastern Army."
Chu Guang frowned.
"...What little tricks are these people trying to do again?"
Vanus hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Could it be because of...the space elevator thing?"
The alliance had previously spread rumors at the Adhesion Community meeting that it planned to build a space elevator in the southern sea area.
Enterprises are very interested in this, the academy is indifferent to it, and the Legion is clearly opposed to this plan, believing that this kind of matter should not be discussed in the community, and raising objections to the location of the space elevator.
Chu Guang is actually very talkative. If you want to participate, you can participate. If you don’t want to participate, you don’t have to participate.
Anyway, the distribution of capacity shares and profit dividends will be set based on the proportion of investment, effort, and technology used in building elevators.
However, representatives of the Legion still expressed dissatisfaction with such a plan and challenged the Alliance's Foreign Minister Cheng Yan on a series of issues.
The Legion is sending large-scale arms to the Empire at this time, and it cannot be ruled out that they intend to use actions to prevent the Alliance from advancing the space elevator plan.
After all, until the ports on the Death Coast and the railway connecting the Sea Coast Provinces are completed, Silvermoon Bay and the Borneo Sea will still serve as the alliance's important and only maritime transportation hubs for a long time to come.
At this time, if you want to disgust the Alliance, it is very simple. Just burn the flames of war from Mengmao Prefecture to the adjacent Silver Moon Bay.
The sea route between the two sides is only a few hundred kilometers apart, and the land route is only separated by a mountain range. It is not difficult to implement this plan.
and……
This is very similar to what the Empire can do.
Realizing that someone was trying to use his own money to disgust himself, Chu Guang's brows suddenly twitched, and he took out his cell phone and made a second call to Lu Bei.
"How did the investigation that I asked you to investigate go?"
Lu Bei was also confused when he received the call. He paused for two seconds before speaking awkwardly.
"...Sir, this may take a while. We are contacting the intelligence network in the Falcon Kingdom. Only they can figure out where the weapons were shipped after being unloaded in the Falcon Kingdom."
Chu Guang nodded and continued.
"You check first... By the way, park the military supplies that need to be transferred to the Falcon Kingdom in the warehouse first. If people from the legion ask, tell them that the army has listed faults that need to be repaired, and let them have anything they can.
Come to me with problems.”
After hearing the order, Lu Bei didn't ask any questions and took the order sonorously.
"yes!"
In just five minutes after Chu Guang put down the phone, the alliance's entire railway line from Weifu Wasteland in Jinchuan Province to Bicester Town in Luoxia Province seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Except for the moving trains that were not affected, all arms that were being sent or about to be sent to Bicester Town were moved to a nearby warehouse for storage.
It is impossible for the Alliance to use its own railways to help the Legion transport weapons from one front to another. The weapons will not move further in any direction until the matter is investigated.
Later that day, Captain Benoit Wan, the legion’s ambassador to the alliance, learned about the situation from the quartermaster who was accompanying the vehicle. He immediately got up from the bed and angrily called Cheng Yan, the alliance’s foreign minister. However,
But I only got a perfunctory answer: "The train broke down and needs to be repaired."
As soon as Benoit heard this answer, he immediately realized that his cleverness might have been exposed, but the alliance had not yet found conclusive evidence, so it resorted to this clumsy "reciprocal method."
The arms left by the legion at the Weifu Wasteland military base are more than enough to arm 300,000 troops, and they are still in accordance with the standards of the regular army of the Eastern Legion.
At present, less than one-sixth of this equipment has been successfully transferred, and a large number of them are still stranded in the Weifu Wasteland and the alliance's logistics transportation routes.
Once the alliance discovers the trick, they will have no choice but to find a way to get rid of these weapons on their own.
And when he thought about transporting the mountains of weapons and equipment without relying on the Alliance Railway at all, Benoit felt like his head was about to explode.
If he had known that the Alliance was so sensitive, he should have stored the items in the Falcon Kingdom first and waited until all the arms were transported from Jinchuan Province before transferring them to the Empire!
But now it's too late to regret.
He could only send a telegram to the Falcon Kingdom to try to destroy as much evidence as possible. At the same time, he contacted Captain Liam who was on the front line and asked the guy who drove the airship to help think of a solution.
Just when the alliance and the legion were having disputes over arms transportation, Mengmao Prefecture, which was at the center of the whirlpool, also welcomed several guests with special status.
And when it comes to the identities of these guests, they have quite a connection with the Yue Clan Resistance Army...
