Chapter 7 The Lursun Kingdom's Desire
After listening to Newman's words, Xu Yi fell silent.
If possible, he certainly hopes that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will completely control all the technology of military magic machinery, and he will not let it out.
Because only in this way can we guarantee our superiority in strength, so that we can better control the whole situation.
However, he knew very well that whether it was in the previous civil war of the Kingdom of Lampari, or in the subsequent counterattack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce against Grand Duke Weilun and the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Sac, military magic machines showed incomparable power. , there is no possibility that it will not be leaked.
The Candela Empire is thousands of kilometers away. On the continent of Sainz, where transportation and communication are very underdeveloped, it is natural that there is no way to obtain detailed information about the power of military magic machines in these two wars. The magic machine showed a little interest, but it was not positive, so that Xu Yi easily deceived Ambassador Hakanin.
However, the Rulson Kingdom is adjacent to Lampa and the Principality of Standing, and there are many in-depth ties between them. Of course, the details of these two wars have been inquired very clearly, so it is natural for the powerful military magic machinery Also have a deep understanding. And according to Xu Yi's plan, he has indeed already prepared some things related to the release of some military magic machines to the Luerxun Kingdom.
The only question is how much to open.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi asked with a smile: "I wonder what military magic machines His Majesty is interested in?"
"All." Newman stretched out his arm and drew a large circle, saying seriously: "President Xu, His Majesty the King hopes to obtain all technologies related to military magic machinery."
"It's impossible." Xu Yi flatly refused. "About military magic machinery. There are many related technologies that our chamber of commerce is still in the process of research and development. It is impossible to transfer them. And... to put it bluntly, even if we are willing to transfer them, your Luerxun Kingdom will not be able to make corresponding military ones at all. Magical machinery."
Newman chuckled, not paying any attention to Xu Yi's words.
"This is not a problem. As long as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate, I think we can always grasp it."
Xu Yi shook his head: "Newman, manufacturing military magic machinery is a matter that requires the support of a complete system. It doesn't mean that we transfer the relevant technology to you. You can make it immediately. Even if you have the technical foundation, the supporting material foundation And you don’t have the artificial foundation now, so it’s impossible to master the manufacture of military magic machinery now.” What he said is all true.
It has only been less than two years since Luerxun Kingdom cooperated with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the foundation of the magic industry is still quite weak. Up to now, Luerxun Kingdom has not even been able to independently manufacture a magic fan, so how can it possibly grasp the needs? Military magical machinery with higher technical requirements.
After being silent for a while, Newman said in a deep voice: "President Xu. To be honest, His Majesty the King is very interested in military magic machinery. In fact, it is mainly because of the Lampari Kingdom..."
Xu Yi showed a suddenly realized expression.
Newman put it bluntly.
Compared with the Rulson Kingdom, the Lampari Kingdom has initially mastered the independent production of a relatively low-level military magic machinery in cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and will assemble a large number of them for the Lampari Kingdom army within this year. Magic Lianbow was installed, and a small part was equipped with magic bazooka, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Lampari Kingdom's army.
More than a month ago, the North Army of the Kingdom of Lampari entered the territory of the Kingdom of Sak in the north of the Murto Mountains, and had continuous conflicts with the Greedy Legion of the Kingdom of Sak.
In these several conflicts, the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom won a complete victory, completely driving the greedy army of the Sak Kingdom out of the range of the Murto Mountains, making the Sak Kingdom completely lose control of the Murto Mountains right.
As a result, the Kingdom of Sark completely lost the natural barrier of the Murto Mountains. Instead, the entire kingdom was exposed to the threat of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari.
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Lampari hundreds of years ago, this is the second time that the Kingdom of Lampari has taken the initiative to attack the Kingdom of Sark, and both have won.
And in these two battles, what played a decisive role was the military magic machinery assembled by the Zhenbei Army.
Of course, the abnormal behavior of the Lampari Kingdom has attracted the attention of neighboring countries. Even though the Rulson Kingdom has always been a friendly country of the Lampari Kingdom, it has also noticed this.
The Rulson Kingdom is interested in military magic machinery. The main problem is probably that it hopes to maintain a balance of power with the Lampari Kingdom.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and replied: "I understand His Majesty King Trutz's concerns, but Newman, since you are so frank, then I will tell the truth. With the current foundation of the magic industry in your Rulson Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible to short Master the manufacturing process of military magic machinery within a short period of time. If you are concerned about the Lampari Kingdom, the most realistic approach is actually to directly purchase the corresponding military magic machinery from our chamber of commerce to enhance the strength of the army."
Newman glanced at Xu Yi with a strange face: "President Xu, you refuse to transfer the technology related to military magic machinery to us, is it actually to sell us?"
Xu Yi grinned: "You can say that, but there is nothing wrong with what I said. What kind of judgment to make in the end, it is up to His Majesty King Trutz himself to decide."
Newman was silent for a while, sighed lightly, and nodded: "Okay, I will tell His Majesty the truth."
After a pause, a smile reappeared on his face: "This is the first thing about this matter. Let's go back to the previous topic. Regarding the specific matters of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's increasing investment in our Luerxun Kingdom, His Majesty the King said , I can give your chamber of commerce preferential treatment in many ways, mainly focusing on..."
###
After sending Newman away, Xu Yi sat on the stool and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, several surrounding countries have realized the powerful power of military magic machinery, and have begun to adopt various methods to equip their own country's army with military magic machinery to strengthen their own strength.
Because of its unique advantages, the Lampari Kingdom is much ahead of other countries in this regard.
So far, the Kingdom of Lampari has not only been able to obtain priority military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also built several military magic machinery factories by itself, and has fully mastered the manufacturing process of magic repeating crossbows and small magic bazookas.
Since other countries do not have such a deep connection between the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the best way is to directly purchase military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In this regard, the Duchy of Draco and the Duchy of Mirando have done a thorough job.
These two duchies are small countries with few armies, so they directly purchased all the military magic machines that could be purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Compared with the Lampari Kingdom, the armies of these two small principalities are more complete and high-end in terms of military magic machinery.
Of course, limited to the number of troops, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of Lampari Wang Guo.
The Rulson Kingdom is different from these two small duchies.
According to statistics, the Rulson Kingdom now has a total of more than 100,000 troops, of which the number of troops directly under the royal family is as high as 60,000.
If the complete military magic mechanical equipment is carried out according to the markings of the Principality of Drake and the Principality of Mirando, the minimum total cost will be more than 20 million gold coins.
Even though the economic conditions of the Rulson Kingdom have always been much stronger than that of the Lampari Kingdom, the terrifying amount of 20 million gold coins is still far beyond the burden.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Luerson hopes to obtain the relevant technology of military magic machinery, and it is only natural to produce it by itself.
But as Xu Yi said, the foundation of the magic industry in the Luerxun Kingdom is weak, and it is not yet possible to produce military magic machinery by itself, so their more realistic approach is to buy it directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As long as you don't buy advanced military magic machinery like large magic rocket launchers, the cost is still acceptable.
What's more, the current main enemy of the Kingdom of Lampari is the Kingdom of Sark, and the Kingdom of Rulson still has enough time to complete the transformation of the army.
Xu can also be sure that His Majesty King Trutz will finally agree to this approach after careful consideration.
In the final analysis, the Kingdom of Rulson is not a behemoth like the Candela Empire. It is impossible to directly invade the Principality of Standing and seize the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by relying on hard power.
With the support of the Sark Kingdom, Grand Duke Weilun failed to do this before, and the Luerxun Kingdom would not be so overreaching.
Thinking of the Sak Kingdom again, Xu Yi had a question in his heart.
Because of the close connection between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Lampari, and because the Kingdom of Sark even supported Grand Duke Weilun to launch an attack on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is absolutely impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the Kingdom of Sark. It is impossible for the Kingdom of Ke to obtain military-use magic machinery related technology from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or even directly purchase military-use magic machinery.
But the Kingdom of Sark must also be very aware of the powerful role played by military magic machinery, so naturally it will not give up its desire for this aspect.
There is no way to obtain it on the surface, so secretly the Sac Kingdom will definitely take action.
As for what this action was, Xu Yi didn't have relevant information, but he couldn't make a prediction.
While thinking about this question, there were a few knocks on the door.
Xu Yi raised his head in astonishment, and saw Teresa standing at the open gate, her face full of deep sorrow.
