- #325 - Chapter 326 The Importance of Steel
So when three more days pass…
Dong Hyuk: “Aren’t these bastards from the Negan Empire just some bastards who are out for sale? They, they are too much. Why should they make irresponsible remarks on our affairs? Can’t we take care of our children at home?” , take care of your own housework?”
Obviously, after Donghe saw the caravan from the south again, he couldn’t help cursing these strutting dark elves.
But in the next moment, Donghe was glared at by one of the fair-skinned female dark spirits with black hair and orange eyes. He suddenly felt extremely itchy all over his body.
Yes.
Since these eight members of the Dark Elf Caravan dare to come to negotiate with Wanxi’s Liberation Force, it means that their strength is definitely not something Donghe can easily imagine.
Therefore, although Donghe dislikes these intelligent female races who neglect their families and abandon their obligations and responsibilities, he himself would rather grit his teeth and bear the torture of tens of thousands of ants eroding his bones, and resolutely not use his special abilities to resist.
After all, these pointed-eared members of the Dark Elf clan knew magic, and he couldn’t just reveal his trump card like this.
only……
Why can’t Donghyuk keep his mouth shut?
The answer is simple. Donghyuk is a traditional male citizen of the Takagi Kingdom.
Among the thoughts he has accepted since childhood, women should be humble, stay at home and do housework, and never interfere with outside affairs.
However, the Negan Empire, which implements the primogeniture system, hopes that Wanxi’s liberation forces will be obedient and not continue to use biological and chemical weapons casually to avoid causing wider environmental pollution. At the same time, the Negan Empire is willing to provide more high-quality gun barrels and barrel manufacturing technology with good performance.
To put it bluntly, this is obviously the way to send beggars away.
If we really want to cooperate, what about the meeting gift?
There is not even a meeting gift, what does this mean? After all, the Wanxi Liberation Force can make gun barrels, and there are finished products for medium-caliber gun barrels. Do they need to be given away like this?
What’s the meaning?
This is the cruel reality.
In the past, the Takagi Kingdom was a slave state of the Negan Empire. The king of the Takagi Kingdom at that time had to give his treasured crown to the Queen of the Negan Empire because of his defeat. So to this day, the Queen of the Negan Empire not only still wears the crown that originally belonged to the Takagi royal family on her head, but also has a reason to punish the disloyalty of the Takagi Kingdom.
For this reason, the Takagi royal family, who switched to the name of the Akitsu Empire and took the initiative to serve as its hawks and dogs, were more worried than anyone else that their powerful neighbor in the south would teach them a “lesson.” Therefore, culturally, the Takagi Kingdom has long been filled with thoughts that demean women and even blatantly discriminate against them.
For no other reason than it being impossible to defeat them militarily, the Takagi Kingdom could only adopt such a despicable method to slander the Negan Empire.
Even in reality, the Negan Empire’s only land neighbor is itself. With the geographical advantage of being located at the southernmost tip of the Neoland continent and facing the sea on three sides, the Negan Empire can definitely be regarded as a representative country that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In addition, the Negan Empire’s air force and navy are notoriously powerful, which is completely inconsistent with the strength that is taken for granted. Therefore, today’s Takagi Kingdom does not build roads and bridges in the southern border areas. One of the biggest reasons is to prevent the Negan Empire’s army from following up on the Northern Expedition.
result……
Yes.
This is also an important reason why the resistance organizations in the southern border areas of the Takagi Kingdom flourished for a while, and even forces like the Wanxi Liberation Organization emerged that were able to “separate” from the central royal power.
Poor infrastructure conditions can not only effectively hinder the invasion and occupation of foreign forces, but it will also greatly facilitate someone to directly dominate the mountain and openly challenge the authority of the country. At the same time, this will make the central royal power’s dominance significantly weaken as the distance increases.
What’s more, the nobles of the Takagi Kingdom completely monopolize educational resources, and the vast majority of the people are basically illiterate.
Therefore, this can only be described as “just right” for the Negan Empire.
How can such a country become a powerful country? Where can I get my own high regard? How can we get rid of the days of being dependent on others?
It’s just that for Donghe, this is the same as playing the piano to an ox.
As the members of the dark elf caravan gradually left, Donghe slightly activated his mental power to wipe away the itching on his body.
I have to say that Donghyuk is really careful now.
Especially now that the Dark Elf clan can actually understand the language they speak.
This is not something to laugh about.
Although the intelligent races around the world basically speak their own languages, most of the languages are incomprehensible. But there is another profession in this world – translation, a special profession that specializes in converting language and words so that everyone can understand each other’s behavior.
Therefore, Donghe was very lucky to meet members of the Dark Elf clan who could speak their own language, and he was even more “honored” to realize what it means to have trouble come from the mouth.
The moral values of the Takagi Kingdom cannot be directly applied to the Negan Empire, especially when the Negan Empire’s national power is much stronger than the Takagi Kingdom.
However, compared to Donghyuk’s unscrupulous words that attracted the other party’s revenge, Changzheng looked at the documents on the table with a serious face.
Although the Negan Empire said it was an exchange of interests, this exchange of interests was quite tempting for Wanxi’s liberation force.
It is true that the Manxi Liberation Force can make guns and weapons, but thanks to the “good historical” background of the Takagi royal family, which even blacksmiths have to strictly control, families in many places often need to share a kitchen knife, Nagamasa really needs it now High-quality steel forging technology.
Things like armor plates, gun barrels, gun bayonet blades, mechanical wheels, etc. all need to be supported by steel with excellent performance. Otherwise, there would be no way to implement Wanxi’s cause of liberating the forces.
Moreover, after being “prompted” by the pig-headed men of the Akitsu Empire, Nagamasa now realizes that steel production is often one of the criteria for measuring military power.
For example, the pig-headed man’s heat-light knife is a melee weapon that uses a certain amount of steel as its core skeleton.
At the same time, what made him even more embarrassed was that not only the pig-headed people, but also the dark elves also carried many iron weapons with them.
The simplest one, a kettle with a handle and lid.
No need to ask about this thing, just twist off the lid and it becomes a cup. As for what the cup can do, it depends on what the user has in mind.
Take the pig-headed man as an example. In addition to drinking water from a cup, the pig-headed man also uses the cup to calculate how much rice he should eat for a meal, then pours the rice into the lunch box, and then also uses the cup to calculate how much water he needs for cooking.
Although the steel cup is easy to burn, the pig-headed man will wear gloves. Plus, military kettles are not household kettles, and something made of metal is always safer.
Then there are lunch boxes…
well!
Until now, Wanxi Liberation Force has relied on dry food packets or returning to the canteen at regular intervals to solve the problem of eating.
Dry food packages wrapped in oil paper…
This is already Wanxi’s best choice to liberate his power.
If you switch to the caravan members of the Negan Empire who carry luggage and usually use their own metal lunch boxes to eat and drink… this is how the gap is reflected.
Quality is fully reflected through such small details.
These guys who come to do business are very wary of everything around them, and they are quite wary of Wanxi’s liberation power.
Even food and drink will not be obtained within the area controlled by Wanxi’s Liberation Force to prevent Changzheng or his men from poisoning.
Perhaps this is because of the use of multiple biochemical weapons, and the result is a group of experts who are always on guard against being poisoned, right?
Regarding this, Nagamasa thought about it, but he still rejected the Negan Empire’s suggestion.
Even though the temptation is strong, Wanxi can do what he wants to do to liberate his power by himself, and try not to be told what to do by the other party.
Otherwise, Wanxi’s liberation forces would easily fall into a passive situation.
How about he communicate more with the kind organization and see what kind of surprises the kind organization has? Anyway, the good organizations are not like the Negan Empire, and they often come with certain conditions that they cannot bear…
