Chapter 3994: Shelling

Love a few, Thebes. Aiji Gongjin Chamber of Commerce, this is a chamber of commerce organized by Aijiren. In fact, the biggest beneficiary of this chamber is the Koreans. The Gongjin Chamber of Commerce is actually the largest comprador business association in Aiji. They rely on the strength of Koreans. Crazy expansion of their commercial profits.

"This is a great opportunity to make a fortune. Why don't you do it?" A middle-aged South Korean man held the telegram in his hand in order to get there. A few businessmen looked at the telegrams in the hands of Korean businessmen in a puzzled way. They knew that those telegrams were sent and sent along with the radio waves, and some telegrams could bring them great profits. For example, in China now The telegram in the hands of the young man.

"Tell you, this is the arms business, the easiest kind of business to do, and it is very profitable. Originally, we in South Korea could do such a thing, but, as you know, it is not convenient for us on some diplomatic occasions. , In this case, it gives you some opportunities. With this opportunity, you can do many, many things. I believe you should understand what I mean." The middle-aged man said by waving the telegram in his hand. .

"The business is very simple. I know that you all have smuggling ships, transporting arms, transporting them to the Roma, and delivering it to the Carthaginians. If the Roma needs it, you can also sell it to the Roma. In this case, yours The situation will become extremely favorable. You can make a lot of money, which is several times as much as usual, which is much better than selling cotton cloth." The middle-aged man said.

The business people in Aiji began to have a lively discussion. It seems that they are making the most important decisions in their lives. This decision will bring them a lot of profit, but at the same time it will also bring them a lot of trouble. They don't know how much they will do for such things, but in general, they feel that such things will bring them great results. This is what they think is the best opportunity at the moment.

Aiji merchants are actually comprador merchants. They take goods from Korea and dump them frantically on the market of their homeland. Not only their market, but also the pressure on Shandagang. The large amount of cheap cotton cloth has a serious impact. Many of the handicraft workshops of a few people went bankrupt. They had to go bankrupt because they couldn’t compete with each other at all. Therefore, a large number of handicraft workshops went bankrupt, which resulted in them having a chance to survive. These are all good things done by a few comprador merchants, but behind them With their own power, the Koreans will help them solve their problems. Aiji established a free army. They are the best fighters for their expansion. Relying on such brutal expansion, they helped Koreans open up the market, and Koreans have been using them because they can bring greater benefits to themselves, such as using more new styles. product. From cotton, to railways, to the construction of roads, etc., under such circumstances, they have adopted many good methods to solve such problems.

"Now this is an opportunity. If you can do the arms business, you can do other businesses. The profits of this arms business are much higher. Although there are great risks, you can go away separately, as long as one ship of the goods arrives. On the other hand, you will make money that you can’t normally make at once. Don’t be afraid of the money you get. You can deposit it in the Korean bank over there, and then take the money here. In this case, yours The business can go on, or you can exchange the trophies obtained by the Carthaginians. In that case, the profit will be greater. Trust me, just one time, one success is enough to make your situation very good. Now." The middle-aged man encouraged.

Hearing this, some businessmen who love a few were really tempted. The first one came forward, the second, and more people came forward. They performed extremely favorably. Under such circumstances, they would become Extremely crazy, because this is huge profits, although there are certain risks, but it is enough for them to do many, many things.

"That, Mr. Chairman." At this moment, a comprador named Wang Luo approached cautiously, as if he had something to say.

"What's the matter? Is there anything to worry about?" the middle-aged man asked a little unhappy.

"No, no, it's definitely not like this. I'm not worried about this. No, I'm not worried. I just think that if the South Korean navy can **** us for a while, we will become safer." Wang Luo said. To. When other businessmen heard this suggestion, they all agreed.

"Chairman rest assured, the expenses are all counted on ours. We will not treat the South Korean Navy badly. We are worried that our transportation is in trouble. In this case, things will become difficult to solve." The other party said.

"Well, well, I will contact you from the South Korean Navy. But to what extent they can **** depends on your situation. We will not provide you with more opportunities." The chairman said. To.

"Understand, understand." Other businessmen heard the chairman say this. They nodded and expressed their understanding. In fact, this is just a question of how much money is. If enough money is given, the South Korean Navy will send them to Lockheed Martin. If not, they are naturally unwilling to **** them farther. Place to go. After all, that is also a cost. How can these comprador businessmen not know the truth? As long as they have enough money, they can do a lot of things that they have never been able to do before. They are too familiar with this. I don’t know how many times they have done this kind of thing.

Carthage, a port terminal. It's very busy here, and a lot of goods gather here. Korean cotton cloth is unloaded here and transported to Carthage, and their glass products can be transported to more distant places. The Carthaginians can make more profits from it, as well as food, wine and so on. These are the items they make money. The Carthaginian merchants’ taxes are relatively light, although a tax has been levied recently. Listen. They said they wanted to support Hannibal’s military victory in the north, but considering the decline of Roma merchants, they believed that it was necessary to do so. Although they lost part of their tax revenue, for them, these things were not the only thing that could be done. Something canceled.

When the Carthaginians were busy, their people suddenly noticed a thick smoke coming not far away, as if a merchant ship was on fire, but soon they began to shake their heads. Because they recognized it. Only merchant ships from South Korea would do this. They braved the billowing black smoke, but the speed was very fast. Carthage merchants wanted to buy such a ship, but it was too expensive. They can only use wooden sailboats, of course. They are also working hard to accumulate money to buy such a merchant ship. After all, this can bring them great convenience, which is still very useful for them. But price is an important reason that prevents them from buying. After all, their profits are becoming less and less. These are serious consequences caused by comprador merchants in Aiji.

On the destroyer "Young's", four 120mm guns have entered the firing state, and the gunner has entered the standby state.

"It seems that the Carthaginians are not at all nervous about our arrival." Zhao Hai said, raising the telescope in his hand. The Carthaginian merchant did not realize that the artillery of a battleship had been aimed at the opponent.

"Haha, shoot." Yang Jia hesitated a little. He immediately ordered the cannon to fire.

"Boom. Boom. Boom." The artillery fired quickly and violently. The 75mm artillery did not join the bombardment for the time being because they were not within their combat distance. Once the 120mm artillery was fired, they It will immediately advance to shoot again.

"Whiz. Whiz. Boom. Boom." Shells roared out of the shore of the Carthaginians do not know what happened. boom. When the first shell exploded, they were all frightened. They never thought that it was a warship. Then came a series of explosions before they reacted. Unfortunately, many people will never be able to open their eyes. The people of Zhao Guo were extremely crazy. They kept shooting, shooting, and shooting again, until the opponent was difficult to fight back and they were still shooting. This is a crazy behavior.

Suddenly the entire shore turned into a sea of ​​fire, and many people were blown into pieces of meat, and the blood stained the entire pier red. The wooden merchant ships were shattered by the bombing, and there were fires everywhere. It was not the port and dock of the Carthaginians, it was hell. This was a **** they absolutely shouldn't face.

"Boom. Boom, approaching. Seventy-five millimeters shot." Yang Jia gave the second order. The destroyer quickly stepped forward to continue the bombardment. The casualties caused this time may be even greater, but if they don't teach the other party some lessons, they don't even know how powerful Zhao Guoren is. That's what Yang Jia thinks.

After an hour-long bombardment, nearly half of the ammunition was consumed before Yang Jia stopped shooting, and then they returned to Thebes, where they would receive some ammunition supplements, food and personnel supplements, and then they would attack. Island of malta. As for the loss of the Carthaginians, they would report it themselves. This is not what they want to do. Lesson, this is a **** lesson.

Loma, in Hannibal's headquarters, their robbery activities are still going on rampantly, and their soldiers are very satisfied with this. Because they have never been so loaded with so many trophies, the fighting enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers has been unprecedentedly high. Hannibal was also in a good mood. Although the Loma people stayed behind closed doors and responded passively to Hannibal's challenge, this did not reduce their losses. On the contrary, the loss of the Roma people has become more and more serious, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for them to carry on relevant combat methods. Because they found that this method of combat was too passive. When they are so passive they can't very well think of the outcome of this kind of combat.

In the headquarters, Li Wei suddenly received a piece of news that he couldn't believe.

"What's the matter?" Hannibal came in with a smile and asked.

"Look at this." Li Wei said thirstyly.

"Bunker?" Hannibal asked nervously, looking at the telegram.

"Yes, I also just got the news that one of our destroyers shelled your port and docks, and the loss may be very heavy. Our government requires a severe warning to warn the Carthage government not to play with fire, otherwise If it is, the next time it will be a full-scale offensive. For us, they ask us to withdraw from here as soon as possible. Although there is no formal order. But this is an order given to us by the government." Li Wei said helplessly.

"My God," Hannibal said. He could hardly believe that there would be such a thing. Sometimes, he really could not believe why there would be such a thing. This is simply a difficult situation to happen.

"I can't help it, but that's the situation, and I don't have any way." Li Wei said.

"If you hate us, let us leave here." The other party said so.

"No. No, we can't do without you. We need more support." Hannibal said. The Zhao State Army Corps brought not only command issues, but also team operations on staff. These were things they had never had before, but the question was how to deal with such a thing. This makes them very embarrassed.

"This kind of thing, it seems that only your Carthaginian Senate makes the right choice to solve the problem. I think at present, you'd better leave this kind of government." Li Wei persuaded.

"It doesn't matter. This is our government after all. Our government can do such a thing, and that is our business." Hannibal said helplessly.

The tragedy of Hannibal was that their Senate could not make wise decisions, and sometimes, at critical times, it would bring them disastrous consequences.

The problem is that this is their government and they must obey orders. This directly caused the tragedy of the other party.

Zhao Guo, Handan, Zhao Jia's office.

"Good job, very beautiful." Zhao Jia said excitedly, looking at the telegram in his hand.

"Just do it. It annoys us Zhao people, and they were killed as well. Give them a lesson, and they will know. Let the navy continue to work hard." Zhao Jia said.

"Yes, Prime Minister." said the Secretary of the Navy.

For the Carthaginians, Zhao Jia didn't have any good opinions, thinking they were annoying. I, specifically targeting the Zhao people to increase taxes, which made the Zhao people extremely annoyed. If the lesson this time goes well, they might even be exempted from taxation. Instead, they want the Carthaginians to pay compensation. After all, this makes them very sad. Every country does not levy taxes and specifically targets the State of Zhao. It is just a naked provocation. Such provocations should pay a price.
