11.10 First-class arms dealers sell services
Electrical Calendar April 7, 659.
Zhao Xuanxi succeeded in the southern expedition, and the sandstorm group successfully occupied a stronghold in the Qianao Island area in the south. In order to consolidate the captured territory, Zhao Xuanxi had to handle affairs on Qianao Island. However, some news came from the rear at this time.
News 1: It is a problem with Zhao Xuanxi's own family. The Zhao family now wants to leave a branch inheritance in the east. Zhao Xuanxi's formation of a sandstorm group was not favored by the Zhao family at the beginning, but with the support of the Zhejiang-Ning Consortium in the south and a great victory, with signs of development, the Zhao family came over very well-informed.
News 2: That is the local aristocratic families in Penghai, and now there are small actions. These local prominent families in Penghai seem to be no fuel-efficient since the beginning.
If there is any situation in my hometown, I naturally have to turn around and operate it, but Zhao Xuanxi can't leave.
He was worried and happened to see Su Deng on the mountain to fish on Qianao Island without doing his job. Su Deng: "I am collecting ore specimens and product data."
At the same time, I saw Su Dong running to the prisoner-of-war camp if he had something to do. He seemed to be very interested in the aristocratic Muliang of the sea humans. Su Dong was young, so this would not work. Su Dong: "Bah, I am investigating the history of the sea humans, your younger brother."
In short, Zhao Xuanxi decided to send Su Ding back to see the venue. In fact, only Su Ding (original) can meet the three conditions for watching the venue:
First, he will not be influenced by his own family and local prominent families - Su Deng is usually very withdrawn and can basically not talk to the upper class of Penghai.
Second, if you are loyal enough, you will not betray yourself - Su Deng came from a clean background and had no shadow of other aristocratic families. Even if there are, if you have not been in contact for so many years, you will probably be completely independent. In this Politburo where the aristocratic family occupies the home court, you must be consistent with yourself.
Third, it has the deterrent power to control the army - the Great Wall represents a combat power that cannot be ignored. When the teams within an army cannot handle Su Ding, they dare not make any minor mistakes, because it is equivalent to being a deserter under the nose of the machine gun law enforcement team. In the Heyuan area where the Eastern Continent is fighting for hegemony, the Great Wall has enough authority as the head coach to coordinate the army.
Only Su Ding met these three points at the same time.
[On August 3, three old destroyers and a large number of merchant ships arrived at the port]
Su Ding, wearing a mechanical combat uniform, stood on the bow of the ship, watching the ship's side approaching the dock bit by bit. This combat uniform is the complete version of the battle uniform of Su Ding's raid on the building four years ago.
The stealth module was loaded and the ceramic bulletproof composite module was loaded, which increased the power of the mechanical muscles, and increased the weight to twelve kilograms, and of course the power also increased to twelve horsepower.
In order to maintain speed, the appearance is not bloated. The average thickness of the whole body is about 1.5 cm. Except for the two rows of three cm bulges behind the back, the appearance is basically smooth.
There are exhaust ports with the thickness of a ballpoint refill in the arms, elbows, heels, and shoulders. Dozens are in a row, and the residue of airflow and aluminum battery discharges are sprayed every few seconds, making a buzzing sound like a computer fan.
Now Su Deng jumped from the side of the ship to the dock fifteen meters away. - Ordinary people must not learn this action. Once they fall down, the ship continues to move forward under huge inertia, which can squeeze people into meat pies.
Twenty minutes later, the port began to be busy.
Tens of meters of steel cranes and twitching steel cables unload containers one by one from the ship. When there were a large number of dock workers unloading goods with their physical strength at other ports, this port had fully mechanized unloading.
The Southern Expedition has gained a lot and a large number of scarce resources have been supplemented.
For example, on the ship where Su Ding was just now, there were refined tungsten ore, tin ore, antimony ore, followed by nickel, molybdenum and rare earths.
In this world, although the industrial scale of various countries is at the level of European countries before World War II, the material technology is very high. The material production methods in the field of alloy steel have been studied by various mechanic families on land, but there is no large-scale production application.
Now these scarce material metals represent that the military technology tree of the Sandstorm Group can continue to rise to a higher level. The "reading bar" for the technology tree here will only take a few months to upgrade.
The reason is that there is no need for huge experiments and research and development. Equipment is replaced directly, such as ordinary lathes to higher precision, equipment for casting cannons is replaced with electric furnaces, and then mechanics are recruited and workers are trained.
Su Ding squatted on the twenty-meter-high iron tower, looking down at the port. After the mineral boxes were transported to the train in a classified manner, he placed the individual missiles (guided rockets) in his hand behind him.
Then he looked at the building 1,500 meters away from the port, waved his hands with a smile, as if he was greeting his friend and said, "I'm busy here, you can continue."
This action made the spies peeping at the port in the distance from nervousness to laughing and crying.
These spies arrived at the port three days ago to wait for Zhao Xuanxi's return ship. Before Su Deng got ashore, he locked them with his domain.
It is unknown what these guys with guns had originally planned.
But as long as they dare to take the gun to the window, Su Ding, who was sitting on the tower, carried the missile up and turned to face them. As long as they put the gun near the window, Su Ding would definitely be able to fire the guided rocket.
So when they were unloading the goods, they did not take action, and of course they did not dare to escape. In front of the Great Wall, they could not escape. Escape means there is a ghost in their hearts.
[These people belong to the aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families are now full of compromise and weakness - their attitude towards the Sandstorm Port and Zhao Xuanxi is very complicated]
When Zhao Xuanxi became a general, the local prominent families congratulated at the beginning, but Zhao Xuanxi, the boy, expressed his attitude of not supporting his sister's marriage with the local area. These prominent families did not tear their faces off the surface and secretly obstructed the outsiders of the Zhao family, as well.
The Zhao family built industry and port economy in the local area. As a result, since 657, various raw materials purchase channels were blocked, and commercial channels for producing supplies could not be sold. The local prominent families tried to use this soft method to force Zhao Xuanxi to surrender.
However, this kind of commercial strangulation of sandstorm ports, as Ye Piaocai came to send money and fleets, the southern trade route was opened, and the plan went bankrupt directly.
The most popular trade in the world is arms trade, but the profits are different from how to sell arms and how to sell them.
If you sell arms to those who want to fight, you are a third-rate arms dealer.
Selling arms to the enemy is a second-rate arms dealer.
First-class arms dealers have a capable army that provides their own troops with "market services" to the outside world - military protection.
On Blue Star, the biggest arms dealer is still the five hooligans.
The five rogues' arms production capacity is the world's number one. Although they also takeout, they are mainly used by their own army and provide "market services". Okay, if you don't buy it, you will die. It seems that it is a bit, forcing you to buy and sell.
Those who buy rabbit weapons are basically concentrated in a circle of surrounding countries. In the surrounding countries, although there are sometimes external troubles, the regimes are very stable.
As for the US imperial examination, it goes without saying that as long as the Middle East buys US imperial protection services, even if it is just the chief system and the dark feudal royal system, there is no need to worry about being overthrown!
Now that the industry in the sandstorm port has been completely converted into military industry, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy, because the chaebols in the south will pay the bill. As for the "service industry" market of the sandstorm port, the local prominent people want to use traditional commercial means to curb it. Well, that is impossible.
...
After the last box of minerals was delivered to the train, Su Ding jumped off the twenty-meter tower. When the combat suit landed, its power suddenly increased, and rows of Mars ejected from the exhaust port.
Su Ding used the elastic system of his leg uniform to remove the impact of landing from high altitude, twisted his ankle and walked towards his car. On the road to the dock, a man in a deacon came over.
He walked to Su Deng, forcing Su Deng to slow down.
The deacon respectfully handed over the invitation and said, "Mr. Su Ding, our family hopes to see you tonight in the long run."
Su Deng picked up the invitation and looked through it. He found that the signature was his name. He sneered and slashed it, tearing the invitation in half. This made the deacon open his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Su Deng said tiredly: "You can write a copy again, send it to the foreign affairs department, and talk to you, it is not my responsibility."
Su Deng walked away slowly in the man's shockedness, without saying a word of nonsense to them.
Su Deng personally (as Guangling) to formulate the order of the sandstorm group, and will not destroy this order by himself. Only when a group performs its own duties and does not overstep each other can the order be maintained.
If Su Ding's original body accepted the invitation from these prominent families, although he could explain the situation to Zhao Xuanxi, he would not be suspicious of Zhao Xuanxi, but it would be equivalent to tearing a hole in the order of the group.
These local families can meet with various departments of the Sandstorm Group in private. In other words, local families can penetrate and buy every part of the Sandstorm Group. Then the team will disperse.
Su Deng's decision to determine the relationship between the sandstorm group and the outside family can be completely through Zhao Xuanxiu. Zhao Xuanxi obeyed Su Deng (Guangling) and was almost Su Deng's "game controller".
Therefore, if Su Deng uses his body to communicate with these families, it is like typing with his tongue - extremely unsuitable.
...
In the sea north of Qianao Island, there was a crescent-shaped island, and three destroyers came here. Zhao Xuanxi looked at the small island in the distance and asked Su Deng on his shoulder: "Ling, you are so anxious, why are you asking me to come here for?"
Su Deng Guangling jumped from Zhao Xuanxi's shoulder to his head, raised his legs and said, "Exploration and discovery, there may be an important resource here."
Zhao Xuanxi was a little confused: "Important resources? This is the territory close to the sea humans. No matter how important the resources are, can we grab them from the sea humans' noses?"
Su Ding waved his hand and said, "Humans don't want this resource sea because they are afraid of curses."
Zhao Xuanxi asked in confusion: "Curse?"
Su Dong: "Yes, put on lead-armored protective clothing and go up and take a look."
[This goes back to a month ago, when Su Ding Yuan moved frequently in the camp of the sea human aristocratic prisoners, and got close to these sea human prisoners and inquire about the news]
Of course, since women's psychological defenses are the best to break, Su Ding increased his skills. For example, silk clothes are all things that are not in the sea. After Jiao Xin was interested, Su Ding gave many sets in a row.
Huang Tian pays off his bestiality, and this Muliang told Su Deng a lot of important news - including the story of Crescent Bay.
Crescent Bay is said to have been the place where the ancient gods sealed the artifact, but due to the collapse of the artifact, a terrible curse was finally formed.
I don’t know where the ancient artifacts have gone, but according to the oral narratives of some people who unfortunately broke into the Crescent Bay, there are a strange green fluorescent crystals everywhere in the Crescent Bay - and this crystal is called green copper crystal ore.
Now a small boat was put down from the warship. Zhao Xuanxi and dozens of people, wearing special mechanical combat uniforms, boarded the island with guns.
The island is very quiet, with few plants so much that the ground is exposed.
Zhao Xuanxi looked at the crescent-shaped island, which was also a pile of circular stones, and murmured: "This is the remains of the rock wall."
Then he picked up a rock with smooth edges and edges. Although it had been polished into pebbles by wind and rain, its material was obviously made from a brick kiln. Moreover, the bottoms of the piles of stones with disappeared edges and edges remained intertwined.
Su Deng looked at the island: "Well, it's a ruin, we're not at the wrong place."
Zhao Xuanxi said in surprise: "Since it is a ruin, why have there never been a navigational chart sign?"
Su Deng said quietly: "That's because he encountered something he shouldn't touch on the island, and then died directly. Dead people will not spread."
Zhao Xuanxi was frightened and stopped and looked at Guangling, asking, "What do you want to do when you take me to this unclean place?" The soldiers around him saw Zhao Xuanxi suddenly stopped and immediately entered the alert.
Su Deng laughed and said, "Don't worry, there are no ghosts, but the things here may be very dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you may get poisoned."
Zhao Xuanxu paused, and then ordered the soldiers around him: "People should pay attention, don't touch strange things on the island, there is something strange about this place."
Ten minutes later, the team walked up to the pile of broken bricks and tiles that were once a huge circular city wall. At the top of the pile, everyone looked into the circular island, and everyone was shocked by the current scene.
The square-order shallow ponds are distributed in an orderly manner within the island. Due to weathering, there are no vertical traces by each pond, but a smooth shallow. However, the distribution of the word "field" is like an artificial object.
A large amount of sand and shallow ponds were settled in the pond. The water in the pond was so clear and flashed with fluorescence that made people want to enter it. Of course, it was not surprising to taste the water without anyone reminding me.
Just when everyone was shocked by this beautiful scene.
Su Deng Guangling: "This is an abandoned land."
Zhao Xuanxi's curiosity was aroused: "What abandoned land?"
Su Deng couldn't help but mutter: "Twenty thousand years ago, in the era of God's gift, a powerful weapon mastered by humans. The creation of death glass hills in the Moon Basin is a trace of the use of this weapon. This technology can also be used to generate electricity and become an energy system for some large weapons."
Zhao Xuanxi interrupted Su Deng's words to himself: "Spirit?"
Su Dong: "Hmm?"
Zhao Xuanxi: "You are from?"
