Chapter 102: Peace is precious

"Do you think our dragon knights brought nothing back to the Holy Demon Empire? We already got the'guns' equipped by your soldiers in Maricha!"

"I have to correct you, Mr. Bakaroff Archon. It is no longer called Maricha, it is called Fallen Dragon City."

"Ha! Dare to call it Fallen Dragon City? We are on the battlefield to the west, and we may lose hundreds of dragon knights at once!"

"I know this, but I like the name, so I just use it first."

"Huh! Let's not talk about the name! We are talking about weapons now! We have actually researched your kind of weapons called'guns'."

"Although most of them were destroyed by Dragon Flame, a small number of them were brought back to the Holy Demon Empire! We already know the principle of this weapon, it is very subtle, which is why I came alone."

"Then what are you talking about, go back to imitate, and I can't sue you for infringing on my patent rights." Chris pulled up a vocabulary that Allan Hill was studying recently, and Desaier almost laughed out loud. .

This patent law is an idea jointly proposed by the Allan Hill Military Industry Group and the Empire Industry Group. They believe that Allan Hill's knowledge has reached the point of invaluable, so they believe that it should be more strictly protected.

They say that they are in fact monopolizing the right to use patents. After all, most of Allanhill's innovations come from Chris's technology tree, so what is protected by this patent law is actually a large factory that holds Chris' technology.

However, everyone has selfish intentions. With the intentional promotion of vested interests such as Desaier, this law is now being revised. But now Chris speaks out, quite a funny feeling of mocking each other.

"Don't challenge our patience. If the Holy Demon Empire really wants to go to a full-scale war with Ailan Hill, we can dispatch thousands of dragon knights at a time, you know that!" Bakaroff was a little bit frustrated. , When has he been so whispered to a mortal?

You know, he is also a famous tyrant in his own territory. It's just that he, a tyrant, is a more fearful rational tyrant. He is cruel and powerful, but rarely shows his cruel side. Most of the time, he used his brain to solve problems, otherwise he would not sit in the position of the governor of the eastern province of the magic empire.

"Hmm, but your thousands of dragon knights may not be able to capture my city of Seris." Chris retorted with a smile.

Bakaroff said with a sullen face, and said coldly: "If I don't need your knowledge! I will leave now! I will personally take the dragon knight to Ailan Hill at that time, and I will not attack any large The city will block your traffic, slaughter your people, burn your farmland, and destroy your mine!"

He saw Chris’ dark face and continued to speak: “Don’t think that only you have a brain! We have been using Dragon Knights for thousands of years. When bullying the weak, the Dragon Knight is a weapon to destroy the city and fight against the strong. At that time we naturally have other tactics."

For the first time, Chris has a new understanding of the natives of these other worlds. The other party is obviously not a group of stupid NPs, waiting for his protagonist to conquer and slaughter. The other party also has its own wisdom and experience, and the same development has accumulated valuable wealth for thousands of years.

"But because you want to guard against the eternal empire, your thousands of dragon knights can't stay in the territory of mortals for a long time, right?" Chris insisted on arguing: "If you wreak havoc here for dozens of days, you must leave!"

"So, do you have to fight like this?" Bakaroff thought for a while and said: "You provide us with more advanced weapons and equipment, and we give you room for development. Isn't it great?"

To be frank, Chris was actually very interested in Bakaroff's proposal. Others didn't know it, but Desaier and him both knew that Ailan Hill could no longer sustain a protracted war.

What modern warfare needs is the support of resources and the support of productive forces. Chris couldn't produce enough ammunition and weapons and equipment for him to consume in a short time, so he couldn't start a full-scale war against the Holy Demon Empire.

On the other hand, it is the economic structure of Ailan Hill that restricts his decision-making. From the beginning of rapid development, Ailan Hill has taken a deformed path of borrowing. At the end of this path is expansion, using war to pass on its own domestic economic crisis.

Therefore, on this deformed road, it does not matter how many expansionary wars are fought, because as long as the expansionary wars are profitable, the country’s economy will not collapse. But when facing the magic empire, Chris found that he could only fight defensively.

This is dying. Once the war does not end in a short time and spreads on the mainland, then Chris and his followers will not be able to repay those borrowings, and his country will go bankrupt and fall from the savior. As a deceiver.

Therefore, Chris really wants to make peace with each other. What he wants is only two years of peace of mind. What he wants is only to use these two years to annex other countries and level his current lending economy.

"Tell me, what kind of weapon do you want." Chris made a listening expression: "I also think that peace is the most precious asset. We should try our best to avoid war."

"You are really a wise monarch." Bakarov returned to a more peaceful state and said, "We need your long-range weapons, the kind of weapons called cannons that can project explosive ammunition, but the power only needs to be one year old. Times!"

Can't the 75mm infantry artillery meet the requirements? The ground forces of the Eternal Empire are so difficult to deal with? Chris calculated it in his heart. He felt that if he provided the 30mm caliber artillery to the Holy Demon Empire, it seemed that it would not be unacceptable.

Although it is possible that the opponent has developed a lot of modern weapon technology, after all, the opponent cannot complete the ultimate evolution path alone. What makes him more concerned about is the level of force of the Eternal Empire, he is weighing whether he has the ability to challenge a more powerful existence than the Holy Demon Empire.

Although Frenzberg told Chris about the eternal empire, after all, Frenzberg was a great magician, he was not a warrior. Therefore, his understanding of the battle power of the Eternal Empire is not as good as the Archon Bakarov who has been to the front.

Logically speaking, Bakaroff’s eternal empire’s combat power should be more accurate... wait a minute! Chris suddenly realized a serious problem. This world has always been the law of strength in the west and weakness in the east. The mortal in the east is the weakest, and the holy demon empire is weaker than the eternal empire. What about the west of the eternal empire?

He suddenly had an urge to laugh. It turned out that this world is a world of steps, and the closer it is to the west, the stronger it is. But now the bottom step, the mortal kingdom, has risen, and this pyramid-like structure almost no longer exists.

After thinking about it, Chris felt that he didn't need to hand over more advanced weapons to the Holy Demon Empire. He only had to give the other party some weapons that were more in line with the other party's requirements. Thinking of this, Chris pondered for a while and took out a famous weapon from his mind.

"I can give you an artillery that is more powerful than the artillery we are using now, but because of the larger shells, the weight is very exaggerated, and the consumption of shells is also greater." Chris didn't change his face when he lied. .

Bakaroff is not a character to deceive either. He shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me by deceiving Arrant! I have to compare it personally, and then I will receive it only when I am satisfied! I understand this weapon. Principle, so you better not engage in tricks."

"..." He even had to make up the class before coming... He even had to inspect the goods himself! I haven't had time to equip a larger caliber artillery! Bros! Chris complained in his heart.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, as long as he completes the mechanization of the troops and equips them with large-caliber howitzers or howitzers, it will only take minutes.

Now the bottleneck restricting the large-caliber artillery of Ailan Hill is the lack of production capacity and the lack of capacity. It is not a technical lag at all. If it is not for the 75mm caliber infantry gun that is still sufficient for the time being, Chris has already been on 05. A cannon of caliber.

Before today, Ailan Hill had been desperately producing more anti-aircraft guns. The air defense pressure is in front of us, and the ground forces have enough rifles and machine guns to support firepower, so the development of infantry artillery has stalled.

Now the Holy Demon Empire has higher requirements, just to expand the production capacity of artillery. Chris nodded and agreed to Bakaroff's request: "You can send someone to supervise, and we will provide our existing artillery for comparison until it meets your requirements."

"Also, I want 10,000 of your'guns', finished products, for testing purposes. If this weapon meets the conditions, I will purchase 100,000 of these weapons from you." Bakarov Lion said loudly. Said.

"One hundred thousand...Yes!" Chris did not refuse, but his price was very insidious: "Five magic **** of knowledge for a rifle! The price is fair."

"Cough cough cough!" Frenzberg, who heard this quotation, choked on his saliva. He coughed again and again, and it took a long time to stop embarrassingly. His cough attracted Bakaroff's attention and made Bakaroff realize that the price may be tricky.

So, the consul-sama thought for a while, and gave a price that he thought was reasonable: "...a step, a rifle! Two magic **** of knowledge!"

"Four!" Chris bargained.

"Three!" Bakaroff compromised, a little impatient.

"Deal!" Grand Duke Ailan Hill with a smirk on his face gave a final word.
