Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 628 Arms Smuggling and Old Friends

"Then, two adults, happy cooperation! I will take my leave first."

"Mr. Diego, happy cooperation, goodbye."

Watching the ordinary-looking but very shrewd mysterious guest and his extraordinary entourage walk out of the reception room of Orange Leaf Castle under the guidance of the Marquis himself, Ai Wen slowly fell into thought.

It was a coincidence today that I finalized the construction plan for the first phase of the railway project with my old father-in-law early in the morning.

At present, the New World is rich in natural resources, and everything is cheap.

The pine trees used as railway sleeper materials are boundless on this continent, and even century-old trees can be seen everywhere; after the "Vulcan Metal Company" received the kingdom's arms purchase order, it began to continuously expand its scale and increase its production capacity. Low-end rails with a design speed of 60 kilometers per hour don't cost much.

Moreover, in the sparsely populated territory, all the land is their own, so there is no question of land acquisition, and the occasional wooden attachments on the ground are even cheaper.

The only thing that is lacking is manpower. It is okay to hire some Anuma slaves to do the porting work. If they are allowed to directly participate in the construction of the railway, Ivan would not dare to ride the steam locomotive running on that railway.

in addition.

With the trophies of 60 million golden lions in his hand, it is enough for him to establish various major livelihood industries from scratch or complete acquisitions in the three territories of Yuanfanling, Georgia, and Buffalo, bringing economic order to the territory. Lay a good foundation for development.

Then proceed to attract investment with confidence, and accept investors from all walks of life waving golden tickets to settle in.

However, although the Mr. Diego who just left is indeed a powerful businessman, he did not come here for investment because he is optimistic about the development of his own territory.

He is actually a smuggler from the sea power overlord Cyrus Empire, a long-term partner of Duke Marquis, and one of the major customers of Mercury United Trading Company.

The sales contributed by his family alone accounted for nearly 30% of the trading company's total sales.

However, in business talk business, businessmen are profit-driven animals.

The Cyrus merchants, represented by Diego, don't mind reselling a large number of cheap products from foreign industrial countries, mercilessly destroying the country's already poor low-end handicraft industry, and enriching their own pockets by the way.

Although the financial situation of Cyrus is indeed not good in recent years, the rich and powerful have been living extravagantly for nearly a hundred years. Even if the society is severely divided, it still does not prevent the high-level people from reducing paper and spending money.

A senior official of the trade department of the Cyrus Empire even declared publicly:

"Let the tulips be content to produce wool fibers, let Atlant produce striped cloths to its heart's content, let the New World produce beaver hides, dyes, and sugar to its heart's content, and let the Peacock Islands produce silk and pottery to its heart's content.

The only thing that can be proved is that all industrial countries are training skilled workers for Santa Cruz, and Santa Cruz is the emperor of all countries, the whole world serves him, and he has no need to serve anyone! "

This time too, the Mercury partner got a new order.

If it's an ordinary product, he doesn't need to come over in person, just because this order requires an extraordinary weapon to deal with the "spiritual tide"!

The source of the order is the Army Command of the New Cyrus Deputy King.

Small smugglers may just rely on their courage, and there is no next stop.

However, the big smugglers who can stand for a long time are all hands-on. This Mr. Diego, who is likely to have some connection with the Imperial Army, is obviously the latter.

What he wants are holy salt bombs, sword oil, and coral steel weapons that are installed on a large scale in Phalatis and even the entire Tulip Alliance colony

Although things with similar effects, as the world's number one military power, they are not unable to produce, whether it is the "Fire Sect" or the "Damn School" can provide part of it.

However, the cost of large-scale long-term use still needs to be considered.

These mass-produced weapons in Aiwen's hands are definitely not the most effective, but they are very likely to be the most cost-effective in the entire New World. And the freight is cheap, just go retrograde along the Balboa Isthmus to the west coast.

Ai Wen finally agreed to this arms smuggling aimed at the enemy country.

The ruling order of Cyrus in the New World will collapse, but it should not be now, nor should it be because of the raging "ghosts".

In the case of such eruptions, the vacant land is of no value to anyone. It is better to let Sirius occupy those sites, and then continue to suck blood through the smuggling trade.

Just like what Sirius first robbed was the systematic and organized Azik and Kumar empires, not a scattered safari tribe.

Besides.

In addition to the "Dismemberment Plan" that provokes regional conflicts and confrontations within Cyrus as the last step, whether it is the "Blood Loss Plan" led by privateer fleets or the "Trade War" led by smugglers, the "Overlord Disqualification Plan" " has been steadily advancing.

Naturally, Aiwen will not be troubled by money. Arms smuggling has always been one of the most profitable trades, and there is no need to worry about being backlashed by these weapons that only target spirit bodies.

When dealing with the kingdom, you need to consider morality, but when you trade with Sirius, you don't need to treat yourself badly.

Olivia, who also stayed here to listen during the conversation, sat gently beside Ivan and poured him a cup of tea again:

"It seems that Sirius is indeed under a lot of pressure. At the end of last year, he abandoned a large mining area and retreated 1,000 kilometers crazily. The vacuum area in the middle has been re-occupied by some natural spirits and Atrians.

There are all the most affluent lands in the entire New World, do we want to intervene? "

Ai Wen frowned and considered for a while, and finally shook his head:

"Although everything is going well in the territory, it is not appropriate to take too big a step. Even if we have spare capacity for the time being, the inland area is still too dangerous for production and construction, and the distance and defense costs are too high.

Moreover, the resources in the Midwest are not urgent for us for the time being. Let's stabilize the basic market first. Two birds in the bush are not as good as one bird in hand. "

You must know how to exercise restraint on the path of extraordinaryness, and the same is true for territory management.

Time flies by.

With the coming of spring in the year 188 of the Haiyuan calendar, the seaworthiness season of the Black Sea is coming as scheduled.

call--

A huge fleet of forty-three ships, mostly flying the flag of Phalatis, is leaving the Tusgar Ocean Current and winding its way from north to south.

On the deck of the fourth-tier battleship that is the flagship of the escort fleet.

A young man in a colonel's uniform and a burly knight in heavy armor were leaning against the bulwarks, chatting very familiarly.

".Ilia's ready-made model has been placed there. I heard that the 'Black Wing Order' has begun to spread fire everywhere. Most of the kingdoms on the mainland have their own titled knights, but those smaller duchies and marquises do not. "

"Yes, this is indeed an issue that the church is also concerned about."

"Knight Ambrose, have the members of the Constituent Assembly who were escorted to the Tulip Principality been sentenced?"

"Well, although the official sentence has not yet come down, it is said that Speaker Jerome will be sentenced to beheading, and the others will probably be sentenced to hanging. In fact, there is no difference except that it will be a little more decent.

After all, they wiped out the entire noble class of Ilia. If they were allowed to live on, the kings in the alliance would not be able to agree. "

Although the battle against rebellion had passed for several months, and their identities were the Iron Wall Knight belonging to the church and the wizard belonging to the "Eye of Violet", they were all very concerned about this matter.

This has also been a persistent topic among the kingdom's upper classes in recent months.

"Anthony."

A beautiful lady who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a water-green dress with long hair tied up as a married woman, stepped onto the deck and let out a soft cry.

Looking back at his beautiful new wife, the short-haired young officer smiled warmly:

"Dilys."

If Aiwen was here, he would definitely recognize these people as his long-lost friends.

He has performed several missions together, and although he has no personal relationship, he respects the leader of the "Iron Knight" of the church, Ambrose, for his chivalry.

In addition to the "Iron Wall Knight" Ambrose, who has been promoted to the third-tier great knight, on this ship, there is also a knight squad composed of twelve formal knights under his command.

The church's mission statement is: In view of the current deteriorating living environment in the New World, the pious lambs of the goddess need stronger protection, so strengthen the power of the colony.

Whether this is true or not, no one knows

The other two on the deck were Anthony and Dilys, the first friends Ivan met after he joined the "Eye of Violet", but Alva was missing.

suddenly.

The lookout on the mainmast shouted:

"Look, there is the Montauk Lighthouse on Long Island. We have come to the New World."

At this time, a line of black land has appeared at the end of the mighty blue waves in the distance, and a slightly mottled lighthouse stands tall on the top of the peninsula.

Looking at that place, many people in the ocean-going fleet that had just trekked across the Black Sea cheered loudly.

"We're finally here!"

"Here I come to the New World! Oh!"

"."

Especially the hundreds of Ilya refugees in the fleet, who were distributed on several merchant ships, burst into tears when they thought of the hardships of coming here all the way from their hometown.

"Gold, silver, land, this is our future home!"

The Montauk Lighthouse at the easternmost tip of Long Island, also known as the "Morning Star Lighthouse", has been erected since Buffalo was first established and has a history of decades.

This lighthouse is the guiding light for all dream seekers to immigrate to the New World. As long as they see this lighthouse, it means that they are about to board the New World and start the "beautiful" new life of their dreams!
