Chapter 683 Chapter 16.11 (Part 2) 'Supporting' the Imperial Army
style
Enma was even forced to get involved with the imperial army.
In 3227, Fengling City was home to the largest arms factory in the empire. Enma, who had set up farms and breeding farms nearby, had no plans to expand his business there in the past few years because he did not have military channels.
Enma was worried: "I have already contacted the rebels in the city. If I contact the military again, wouldn't it mean that I have turned from a coercion to a mastermind? The risk is too great."
But in August, the military came here proactively.
In the agricultural cooperation zone fifteen kilometers away from Fenglingcheng, an imperial colonel walked directly into the red brick house.
The old man threw his hat on the desk of the Youth Workers' Association (an organization run by Enma) and asked the person in charge to come out for a meeting with great momentum.
When the person in charge arrived, the colonel placed a green wooden box on the table and said, "That's it. Do you want it?!"
Open it and look, good guys, there are three box gun-style forward trench submachine guns, as well as boxes of two-ring bullets and three-ring armor-piercing bullets.
Of course, the person in charge did not dare to neglect this thing that was suddenly delivered to the door. So Enma rushed over and called himself "country squire" (common saying for landlords and old wealth).
Enma looked at this, full of imperial banned items, which were very big. Naturally, he did not dare to accept them directly.
Enma thought: What if this is imperial fishing? He immediately pushed it back, and then sent a box of wine and three boxes of bagged instant noodles to this hero.
The imperial officer received the things and was about to leave, but Enma blocked him.
Enma: "As for these things" (Enma pointed at the supplies) "The store doesn't dare to accept them, so why don't you take them back?"
The imperial officer glanced at Enma, his beard trembled and said: "You are so scared. This thing is here for you. You have to take it or not. And I will send someone to transport it out for you tomorrow. We will do it with one hand."
Pay the money and deliver the goods.”
That night, Enma took a few reliable people and buried the things overnight.
Wei Keng: I am not ready to rebel yet, and my fighting force has not been trained yet. If this thing is left here, the big shots at the top will not allow it. If it is left here, it is "ironclad evidence" of the accusation.
…“want”, but have to make sure it’s “hot”…
Two days later, Enma personally drove a pickup truck and led a convoy of fifteen pickup trucks through the city's blockade checkpoint.
They delivered "food, dried fruits" and other supplies to Fanling City (military fortress) without any hindrance, and met the colonel at the same time.
After inspecting Enma's goods, the colonel patted Enma on the shoulder and said, "Very good!"
However, this cart of supplies inspired the morale in the military fortress of Fanling City!
There is no shortage of various military products in this city, but there is a shortage of food supplies.
When the bold colonel who gave Enma weapons and ammunition in exchange for supplies came back, he was immediately blocked by several other officers. This popular drinker naturally did not leave behind the brothers in the fortress. A hole was opened here.
After the Youth Association's first business was completed, Enma began to wait quietly for the situation.
A week later, another imperial colonel drove a tracked transport truck and blocked Enma's transportation line on land, helping Enma transport it "for free".
After the escort, Enma was taken to Fanling City to do a lot of business.
As a result, Enma smiled bitterly and collected a large amount of scrap metal. Bullets came in large quantities, as well as firearms.
When the military here was still preparing to stuff things, Enma waved his hand.
At this time, the imperial colonel asked in surprise: "Why, didn't you finish delivering the goods I gave you last time?" Enma then realized that he thought he was the leader of the imperial underworld.
Enma: "I'm just an agricultural product business, why do I need so many guns? I buried all the ones you gave me last time and didn't dare to let them out. And if you have so many weapons leaked out, aren't you afraid of chaos in the empire?"
"
The imperial colonel frowned and looked at Wei Keng, but he said, "Can't you find a way?"
Obviously he doesn't care if there is a rebellion in the empire. These imperial soldiers now want to exchange their excess military supplies for daily necessities.
On the other side, the imperial soldiers in the fortress have not stopped yet. They even pulled a towed artillery over. Of course, Enma has not yet fainted to this extent. The gun is okay, but when the cannon appears on the shelf, it must be naked.
The temptation was turned down by Enma righteously.
Let’s talk about this artillery! Enma is greedy. It is a metal tracked self-propelled artillery with a caliber of 120 mm. Wow.
But Enma held back, because from practical considerations, if our side is really limited by accidents in the future and carries out an uprising, it will be a guerrilla war in the countryside, and heavy firepower only requires homemade rockets. As for artillery,
Even if you get a few, they won't be able to fight against the encircling regular army. Artillery still requires big cities for logistics.
In the future, when a great revolution occurs in the Sky Empire, the capture of the big cities will still depend on the betrayal of the regular army of the empire.
…Sixty minutes later…
Enma was led into the office of the military commander in Fanling City. This was a major general named Nulat. His face was red, his eyes were like light bulbs, and his face looked like a tiger.
As a businessman, Enma greeted the general without being humble or arrogant. The general looked at Enma with a smile and started doing business.
Business must come and go in order to last for a long time.
In the end, Enma asked for three "scrapped" vehicle-mounted reactors, which can be used as energy furnaces in the workshop.
Nu Late: "Squire (Enma's pseudonym), you are a very good young man." He still pushed the list of firearms, ammunition and artillery to Wei Keng.
Enma remained silent, angrily, and used the tone of educating the younger generation to draw in the relationship and said: "You, when doing business, you have to look far. If I can buy your goods, others can also buy them. Think about it.
Look, aren’t you too passive in doing business?”
Enma swallowed and cursed in his mind, "Are the imperial soldiers crazy for being so poor?"
The meaning of Nulat's words is a reminder: You must be well armed and carry a sword when doing business, so as to prevent robbery with the empire.
But this is only the first meaning! Wei Keng: “To understand someone’s words, you have to stand in their shoes!”
Nurat reminded Enma to arm himself for business. He suggested that Enma had this need and he could meet it. But all this has a price.
Why should Nulat satisfy Enma's "armed needs"? Enma must make a promise in return.
Therefore, the second meaning is to remind Enma to take sides!
When your business becomes big and you come into contact with important people, you must have political principles! You must invest your life and fortune.
When Nulat was about to see off the guests, he asked Enma to think about it carefully. At this time, Enma started to say with a shy face: "Your Majesty General, how do I fill out the application for enlistment?"
Nu Late put down his teacup and put a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the intelligence of the young man in front of him.
Nurat nodded and said: "Go to the Military Affairs Department on the right and submit the application on the third floor." Then he added: "We are short of talents here."
Note: Enma showed an attitude of taking sides, but as an imperial general, Nulat wanted to maintain the city and could not accept him directly. Due to the high level of confidentiality in Enma, Nulat did not know that Enma was in this agricultural business association.
What is his position? So he has to let Enma show his strength. If he is strong enough, even if he is only the second-in-command, he can help Enma gain the leadership of the chamber of commerce through support. But if Enma is just a small cadre, then
If you don't have the qualifications, then it's time to beat the Chamber of Commerce.
So the added sentence "I am short of talents here" means that Enma should bring more people to join the army to show his strength.
…
Three days later, Enma Company and 343 people enlisted in the Fanlingcheng Fortress. These people obviously did not know how to hold guns, but came to do business.
This is a candidate selected by the Youth Labor Association to be responsible for commercial cooperation with the Imperial Army.
Nu Late smiled brightly and gave Enma a captain to be responsible for logistics. Of course, he also assigned Enma forty people to mix the sand.
Of course, it’s not certain who will meddle with whom. The people sent by Nunat and the working group of the Agricultural Youth Association have been fully arranged.
Enma is also short of people for economic connectivity and industrial training throughout urban and rural areas.
As for the "spiritual" and "ideal" fronts, when these people sent by Nurat saw that the disabled soldiers could still live actively in the Youth Labor Association. The empire did not care about the soldiers' widows and could only rely on the current mutual assistance.
