- #120 - Chapter 121 Is it more elegant than a public robbery?
“Chief, this is the general-purpose machine gun you want.”
“Yes. You can use a magazine… um…”
“Chief? Are you dissatisfied?”
“No. I just can’t figure out why the magazine mouth must be installed on it?”
“Uh… the spring support here…”
Although his subordinates didn’t say it clearly, Jian had a bitter and helpless look on his face.
Just because he didn’t have many qualified blacksmiths, or even more outstanding military talents, Jian had to settle for the second best and chose a light machine gun that uses a barrel-type automatic principle as a general-purpose machine gun.
But after fighting in the Kruro Empire and fighting against the Japanese, he still hoped to have a general-purpose machine gun that uses a belt-fed ammunition as his own equipment.
But…
That’s good, at least it’s weapons and equipment made by himself, not high-priced products bought from those black-hearted Dark Elf.
Cheap.
It’s worth it for this cheap… No! Still no !
The bullet box on top is too annoying!
It must be changed!
And according to the “teachings” of the Japanese Mai people, the gas-guided type is the future!
So… even if he really has no other way…
Or continue to look for the profiteers of the Dark Elf tribe?
Anyway, the Dark Elf tribe is not a monolithic group, and he doesn’t believe that there are no other Dark Elf profiteers doing business with rebels like him!
That’s right.
Lison is also very troubled about this.
After all, under the “support” of Enzo’s father-in-law who doesn’t like him no matter how he looks at him, and who is eager for thunder to suddenly strike in the sky, and who is eager to be captured and beaten by the black-haired dog-headed man, Lison knows that there are other colleagues in the country who are “making trouble”.
In this regard, Lison heard even worse news from Jenna.
Jenna: “You guessed it right. Some families in the east also sent representatives to discuss business.”
Lison: “East? Who?”
Jenna: “Abu’s family. “
Lisen: “No way…”
When mentioning the Abu family, Lisen’s face was full of pain.
The Abu family once had a prime minister, and although this prime minister has now stepped down, he has been serving the royal family of the Negan Empire as the chief of the Royal Advisory Group.
So the Abu family is not only a famous family in the Negan Empire, but also a family with family members appearing in the political arena as officials for generations.
Not to mention that this prime minister is the number one culprit who split the dog-headed people, forced the black-haired dog-headed people to give up the fight for Antarctic interests, and forced the black-haired dog-headed people to cede land and pay compensation.
At the same time, this prime minister is also the first prime minister of the Negan Empire officially called the empire. The textbooks of the Negan Empire, especially the history books, have special chapters to tell about his merits.
Pressure.
This is how pressure comes.
It is true that the Abu family is a family of officials on the surface, but the history of the Abu family’s rise to wealth began with reselling weapons and equipment, and later It was chosen by the first empress and the empress’s husband at that time as an extension.
Therefore, when the Abu family came, Lison knew that things would not be easy.
Especially since the Abu family had a private arsenal under their control.
And Lison and his father-in-law were still second-hand dealers, pure middlemen.
It’s just that Lison and his father-in-law have some captives, and Enzo’s father-in-law can communicate with the black-haired dog-headed man in Akizu language, which makes it seem to have some advantages. So, now that there is an Abu family, Lison is under great pressure.
The arsenal of the Abu family is definitely capable of providing more weapons and equipment than himself.
Especially in terms of machine guns, the prime minister of the Abu family was a technician who had participated in the research and development of machine guns before he became famous.
It seems that Lison needs to find an opportunity to have a good talk with his father-in-law. When the Abu family comes, many things have to be replanned.
Jenna: “As far as I know, the Abu family is still okay. But do you have to be so afraid?”
Lison: “Because my family used to have a feud with the Abu family.”
Jenna: “Oh? ”
Lison: “Let me put it this way. My family, uh, actually my father formed a faction to fight against the Abu family. As you guessed, my father lost and was forced to resign. So, you saw the Chamber of Commerce opened by my father. ”
Jenna: “And then there were you brothers and sisters?”
Lison: “Yes. In addition, the current Abu family itself has members who specialize in similar work to ours. So…”
Jenna: “Actually, it’s okay. Doing your kind of work, competition is inevitable. What’s more, this is an old friend of yours.”
Lison: “Old friend? If my parents heard it, they would probably cry.”
Jenna: “Not so exaggerated, right?”
Lison: “Especially since the Abu family has enough financial resources and a very wide social network. This is really tricky for our family. What’s more, I heard a long time ago that the Abu family tried to sell weapons and equipment to the Krurod Empire. It’s just that the Krurod Empire is now ruled by conservatives, and they have too many restrictions and bans on foreign aid. “
Speaking of this, Li Sen was also helpless.
Although the Krurod Empire openly said that it would accept foreign investment to build factories and the like; but the Krurod Empire had requirements, requiring these foreign investors to hire as many people from the Krurod Empire as possible as employees, and ensure compliance with the laws and regulations of the Krurod Empire.
To be honest, it is not difficult to abide by the law.
At least this requirement is universal in other countries.
But hire as many Japanese and Mai people as possible…
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still the same. Officials of the Krorod Empire want to make money from foreign businessmen.
Of course, this cannot be said to mean that the Crurod Empire is black-hearted.
normal.
After all, this country is still at war. How can a country at war let go of the money in the pockets of foreign businessmen?
Therefore, Jenna actually has a textile factory established in the Krorod Empire, and it is very “sincere” to provide income to the Krorod Empire.
Although in the Krorod Empire, everyone used to say that this is tax. But no foreign businessman is really willing to donate generously, and even would rather not give it if he can. However, this is impossible.
Which country would be so stupid as to let foreign businessmen go?
In short, for now, the Krorod Empire is still easy to talk to.
At least a hundred times better than Takagi Kingdom.
No matter how you look at the black-haired kobold in the Takagi Kingdom, the investors of the Negan Empire are not interested at all.
Among other things, black-haired kobolds are a race that despises women in the traditional sense. Their attitude towards women is that they must stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.
So much so that until now, there are still all kinds of unpleasant words in the society of the Takagi Kingdom to curse the behavior of women in the Negan Empire.
Of course, the black-haired kobolds of the Takagi Kingdom would never dare to openly curse the female members of the Negan Empire (the former prime minister from the Abu family successfully intimidated the Takagi Kingdom on this grounds, forcing the Takagi Kingdom to take the initiative to hand over their own territory). However, compared to the obvious, everyone is actually more worried about whether these black-haired kobolds who even dare to assassinate the prime minister will go too far.
Yes, assassinate the prime minister.
The prime minister from the Abu family once went to the Takagi Kingdom as an envoy, but he was attacked by black-haired kobolds.
Although the prime minister was also a ruthless person, he deliberately let the black men who were chasing him enter the shooting area of the battleship.
Then……
Anyway, after the incident, the king of the Takagi Kingdom tied a large number of suspects and accomplices to pillars in front of the prime minister and blew them up with cannons, and then handed over the crown on his head as punishment.
Therefore, compared to the Takagi Kingdom, the Orchid Republic, a “resort area” with many hot springs in its territory, has naturally become a popular place for foreign businessmen from the Negan Empire. Of course, so does the Crurod Empire.
The only thing is that these two countries are very similar in terms of stinginess.
Just like Lison and Enzo’s father-in-law are now trading prisoners of war with the Clorod Empire, it is not known whether the diplomats of the Clorod Empire were directly invited from the nearby market.
So good at numbers!
For example, for the textile factory that Jenna opened in the Crurod Empire, these diplomats had to help count the taxes paid every month, and then estimate whether Jenna could be asked to pay more taxes…
How is this different from robbery? Is it more genteel than a public robbery?
