"Do you want to hire a Naga army? Or a permanent one?" Upon hearing Qiao Xi's request, little Abedis on the opposite side looked very shocked.
"That's right, didn't you establish contact with a Naga tribe?" Qiao Xi nodded and said.
"I'm not the boss. It is true that I have established a trade relationship with a Naga, but it is just a trade relationship, and it is the other party who has the initiative. Your request to permanently hire Naga troops is over the top.
!" Faced with Qiao Xi's request, little Abedis suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
Over the years, through Qiaoxi's "education" and continuous expansion of his own power, especially the constant wars in maritime trade, Abidis has long since become a qualified businessman and leader, and he often trades with Qiaoxi.
bargaining among them.
But this time, he really wasn't pretending to be embarrassed.
Because this is really difficult.
Unlike other racial forces in Azeroth, which basically only dominate one side, the Naga race has truly dominated the entire ocean in the past ten thousand years, and its power can be said to be extremely terrifying.
And because of its long-term invasion of coastal areas, it has been hostile to almost every kingdom or race.
Basically, only pirates and a few other forces that need to be active on the ocean all year round will have some contact with Naga, and these will basically not be made public.
Abedis's privateer fleet also spent a lot of money to secretly establish contact with a Naga group during its activities, so that its fleet will not attract these terrible oceans in the future.
Biological attack.
For this reason, Abidis has to provide the other party with a large number of specialties from the human kingdom every year.
And now, Josie actually wants him to provide a large number of naga? Are you kidding me?
And it sounds nice to say that it is permanent employment, but in fact it is not a direct purchase and sale of a batch?
How could Naga sell his own people as goods?
In fact, if Josie only needs one or two, it is not impossible for Abedis to get them. Although there are few slaves of the Naga race on the black market, it is not impossible.
But obviously, what Josie needs is not just one or two people, but an entire group.
This is not to say whether Abbendis can do it or not, but even if he can do it, if even a little bit of information is revealed, then his privateer fleet will never even think about going to sea again.
"Of course I know this is a troublesome matter, but you don't necessarily need to do it yourself, right? You can offer a reward! Naga's power is very large, but there are also many hostile forces, such as sea giants, walrus people, lobster people, etc.
There are water elements and most terrestrial creatures. I believe that it is quick to collect a group of Nagas. You can offer rewards to Nagas for these marine races I mentioned. I will not refuse anyone who comes." Qiao Xi
Smiling, he brought out the tactics that Europeans often used in Africa and America.
In fact, this method will also be used in the hands of the alliance in Azeroth in the future. For example, a typical example is the Desolate Land's policy towards centaurs in the 1960s.
It's just that at this time, even though Abidis has gained quite a lot of experience over the years, he was still a little shocked when faced with Qiao Xi's plan.
This strategy is so vicious and wonderful!
Why didn't he think of that?
Not just Naga, he can do this to any force that he doesn't deal with!
Of course, this matter is still very hated, so he can't do it directly.
"It's a very good method, but in this case, I will need a lot of manpower and the financial pressure will be great!" Abidis said.
"Don't worry about these, I will provide you with a group of absolutely reliable manpower, let them operate as middlemen, and will never be contacted by you. As for funds, it is not a problem. I will provide you with enough
Gold!" Qiao Xi said proudly.
Although gold still has great value in cosmic trade, after all, Qiaoxi has connected so many universes, and the gold he holds now is not afraid of not being able to use it.
And he is not afraid of the lion Abedis opening his mouth at all.
Because this kid is very shrewd, even if he takes the opportunity to make a huge sum of money from Qiao Xi, he will still grasp the scale.
Otherwise, not to mention that future transactions with Qiao Xi will be ripped off. Excessive inflow of gold may also cause the gold price in the world of Azeroth to collapse.
After all, the population of each race in Azeroth is limited, and not every race circulates gold.
If there is an excessive influx of gold, it will only take a matter of minutes for the gold price to collapse.
Abidis, who had learned modern financial knowledge from Josie, knew that once this happened, he would only suffer the loss.
Therefore, in past transactions, he actually paid great attention to controlling the amount of precious metals obtained from Qiao Xi, and more of them were grain, meat and other other materials.
Because of the perennial wars between the major races in Azeroth, food production has never been very high, let alone animal husbandry. It is true that there are many wild animals in Azeroth, but those ferocious beasts are difficult for professionals to deal with.
It’s very troublesome, let alone civilians?
It is precisely for this reason that the large amount of dinosaur meat that Qiao Xi had in stock had been basically consumed by Abedis. His privateer fleet had a very large demand for meat.
Not to mention vegetables, fruits and drinks.
Every year, Josie helps Abedis purchase a large amount of related materials from other planes. Although Josie can also purchase these materials from his own world, they can easily cause prices to skyrocket. After all, the war has not been that long.
, except for the United States, most regions are still in a period of relatively tight material supplies.
And it is precisely because Abbendis can provide sufficient material support for his privateer fleet that the loyalty of the captains of his privateer fleet is also particularly high.
In a medieval era like Azeroth, don't most people just want to eat well and live a good life for themselves and their families?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's no problem, but in this case, the cycle may be very long!" Abidis nodded.
"It doesn't matter, I can wait!" Josie said.
Although his need for vibranium is great, he is not so urgent that he needs it now.
Anyway, Tarotken and the undersea vibranium mine are on the bottom of the Bermuda area and can’t escape!
After explaining to Abidis, Qiaoxi contacted Yuri again and wanted to buy a large number of dolphins and giant squid.
However, due to the environmental problems of the earth where Yuri is located, there is not much corresponding inventory. The huge navy owned by the Allies back then has basically been disposed of. After all, Yuri has also begun interstellar colonization now, and the navy of the earth remains.
Too much is useless, maintenance is a waste of manpower and material resources, and it is impossible to transport it to other planets by spacecraft for use.
Not to mention dolphins and squids. These things are living creatures, and their health, lifespan, and feeding are all big problems.
So Yuri didn't waste any time and directly gave the two technologies to Qiao Xi for free, allowing him to cultivate them himself.
Obviously, it was impossible for Qiao Xi to do this by himself, so he turned around and threw the cultivation technology of these two biological weapons to the Austrian military, and then stated his request.
The Austrian military was naturally ecstatic about this.
The navy has always been Austria's weakness, even though with the assistance of the United States, it had owned several large warships and secretly launched several strategic nuclear submarines.
But it still cannot get rid of the fact that it does not have a truly powerful ocean-going fleet.
The dolphin and the giant squid are obviously two good things for the navy to overtake in corners.
After settling the issue of arms against Tarotken, Qiao Xi, who had been "busy" for a whole year after returning to Earth, was free again.
But at this time, the beacon of the new dimension has also come into being.
It's just that Qiao Xi's luck was average this year. The plane that appeared after the plane beacon was generated was another plane that didn't help him much.
Godzilla is not the orthodox version of Godzilla, but the 1998 American version of the mutant giant lizard, the one starring Reno.
The owner of the beacon is none other than Jean Reno, no, it’s the French prosecutor Philippe Rosch played by Jean Reno!
In other words, France is not on the same plane, otherwise Josie would definitely find a way to change the beacon owner.
But maybe it would also be good to get a mutated large lizard as a pet?
one year later!
"Beep!!!!" Accompanied by the roar of the whistle, a giant ship with a Spanish flag sailed on the sea in the Bermuda area.
This is actually a very common sight in the Bermuda waters.
Although there are many legends, Bermuda has a variety of mysterious legends, and there is a feeling that strangers should not approach it.
But legends are just legends after all.
There are indeed many ships and planes that have disappeared or had accidents in this area, but that is only because this area is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world.
There are many ships and planes coming and going.
Naturally, more accidents occur.
But in fact, based on the overall loss ratio of ships and aircraft around the world, Bermuda’s ratio is actually not high at all.
Moreover, most of the accidents and various mysterious rumors appeared in the early 1719th century.
This period was the most intense period of colonial wars in the Americas, with privateer fleets from various countries rampant.
In this case, a large number of ships disappeared. Isn't that normal?
In contrast, by the mid-to-late 20th century, with the advent of peace, there were fewer and fewer disappearances in this sea area.
Many incidents that were rumored to be mysterious, such as the Flight 914 crossing incident, were eventually proven to be just rumors. Such lies are easy to expose, as long as you investigate the corresponding crashed flight.
It's just that before the 21st century, the world's communications were not very developed, so it was easy to make up all kinds of rumors.
For example, Qiao Xi was deceived for more than ten years by Einstein's story about getting a score on his math test and then working hard in his last life.
But in reality? In the German academic system, one point represents excellence, which is the highest score.
However, in the Marvel world where Josie currently lives, after he had people sort out the disappearances in Bermuda in detail, he found that a small part was indeed very unusual.
But it's only a small part.
And now, he was about to completely reveal the secret.
That's right, this giant ship with the Spanish flag actually belongs to Josie.
After a year of preparation, Qiao Xi is now basically ready to explore Tarotken and seize the vibranium mine on the seabed.
Just because there was definitely no news about this operation, Josie did not act under the banner of Austria.
Although all countries in the world have to accept this reality due to Austria's strong rise, in many aspects, they are still very wary of Austria.
Even NATO and the Warsaw Pact, which were established just a few years ago, have all tacitly reached certain agreements and begun to impose restrictions on Austria in many material aspects.
If it weren't for Qiao Xi's backing, Austria now would probably be subject to the same restrictions as the future Eastern powers, or even worse.
Because Austria's geographical location is generally quite awkward, being sandwiched between two major forces.
If it were not for Germany in the north and the Arctic region, where the confrontation between the two camps still exists, Austria's situation would be even worse.
It is precisely because of this situation that even though Qiao Xi owns a huge industry in the United States, the US government has not suppressed or restricted Qiao Xi's industry.
Even in many aspects of weapons and equipment, the United States and Austria still have some trade cooperation.
But Qiaoxi's family has basically not been back to the United States in the past year.
Of course, this is not what Josie is afraid of.
After all, with his current strength, basically nothing on earth can threaten his existence, not even the entire United States and Japan.
The reason why I won't go back in a short time is just to avoid embarrassment.
"Sir, we have reached the predetermined sea area, and there are no forces that may cause interference around!" A gentle middle-aged male voice sounded in the cabin, but it was the artificial intelligence Pangu who informed Qiao Xi that he had arrived at his destination.
After hearing this, Qiao Xi put down the book in his hand, walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck amidst the greetings from the crew along the way.
On the deck, several main persons in charge of this operation have gathered here, waiting for Qiao Xi to give orders.
Moreover, the people responsible for this operation are extremely complex.
There are humans, represented by none other than Josie's confidant Vito.
There are Nagas, represented by a Tidecaller named Madam Narassas, who is also the strongest among the Nagas obtained by Abedis in this operation and in the past year.
In addition, there are lobsters, sea giants, and walrus people.
These are all war prisoners Abedis "bought" according to the method explained by Qiao Xi.
And the 10,000-ton ship beneath him was carrying a large number of soldiers from these marine races.
These soldiers have all been brainwashed by Yuri and controlled by the magic of the elf mages.
