Admiral Landis's plan, as Xu Yi guessed, is to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, obtain support for military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then invade the Sark Kingdom and seize a territory from the Sark Kingdom. The mineral resources in this territory will then be handed over to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as compensation for the purchase of these military magic machines.
This idea is obviously too crazy.
First of all, the national power of the Kingdom of Sak exceeds the Kingdom of Lampali. In the history of the king for hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Sak has always suppressed the Kingdom of Lampali, while the Kingdom of Lampali is just barely supporting it and trying its best not to be It's just the invasion of the Sark Kingdom.
In this case, Admiral Landis told Xu Yi that he wanted to use the mineral resources in the territory of the Sac Kingdom as payment. This was simply more ridiculous than drawing cakes to satisfy hunger.
If the territory of the Sal Kingdom was invaded so easily, how could the Lampali Kingdom be bullied by the Sark Kingdom for so many years.
Secondly, even if the national strength of the two countries is about the same, the Zhenxi Army;; .+. With the support of enough military magic machines from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it does have the strength to invade the Kingdom of Sark and seize this large area of territory from the Kingdom of Sark as it wishes. , but this approach of the Zhenxi Army is undoubtedly a huge taboo. The Lampali Kingdom's military department may be able to allow the Zhenxi Army to purchase military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on its own to enhance the Zhenxi Army's combat effectiveness, but it is absolutely impossible for the military department to allow the Zhenxi Army to invade the Sak Kingdom on its own initiative.
Because this is tantamount to actively provoking a war between the two countries, and in the current situation where the Lampali Kingdom is not stable internally, and a civil war is very likely to break out, no matter it is the military department. Or other high-level officials in the kingdom. I am definitely not willing to take the initiative to provoke the Lampali Kingdom again.
Putting aside these two main issues. There is another very realistic but important problem, that is, the current production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot meet the needs of the Zhenxi Army.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been researching military magic machinery for nearly three years, due to Xu Yi's inner resistance, the investment has not been particularly large until the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce moved to the Principality of Standing and was forced by the situation. Only then can we truly begin to fully invest in research and development of military magic machinery and gradually increase the scale of production.
Based on the current production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In addition to being able to meet the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several other cooperating chambers of commerce escorts, even the orders for military magic machinery put forward by many lords in the Principality of Standing cannot be fully satisfied. How can there be spare power to satisfy the Zhenxi Army? There was a huge demand for up to 30,000 sergeants. Besides, even if all these problems really do not exist, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produces enough military magic machines to fully arm the Zhenxi Army, the Zhenxi Army can really successfully complete this plan, or Randy Will Admiral really go all out to implement this plan
Xu Yi was very skeptical about this.
After listening to Admiral Landis enthusiastically describe the grand plan in his mind, Xu Yi pondered for a while and slowly shook his head at Admiral Landis.
Other aspects of my concerns obviously cannot be stated directly. Xu Yi mainly focused on the problem that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce lacked production capacity and was unable to meet the needs of the Zhenxi Army. Said that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is unable to undertake such a huge order.
Admiral Landis smiled nonchalantly and said: "It doesn't matter, I never thought that I would be able to equip all the 30,000 brothers in the Zhenxi Army at once. As long as we work little by little, we will be able to equip them all naturally. "
Xu Yi forced a smile.
If we follow the standards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards, it would cost at least hundreds of gold coins to fully equip a soldier.
And this does not include other military magic machines such as magic trebuchets, magic rocket launchers, magic armored transport vehicles, etc.
If the Zhenxi Army was fully equipped according to this standard, the minimum investment would be more than 10 million gold coins.
Taking into account the usual training consumption, hundreds of thousands of gold coins will be spent every year, or even more.
Not to mention the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to sustain such a huge consumption, not even the entire Lampali Kingdom can sustain it.
Besides, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really spend so much money, why not invest it in the escort team of its own chamber of commerce instead of investing it in the Zhenxi Army, which has nothing to do with it
Xu Yi had already closed the door to cooperation in his heart, but looking at Admiral Landis's eyes full of expectation and enthusiasm, and at the same time because he was worried about the huge influence of the Zhenxi Army on the Black Rice Wasteland, he still He didn't refuse immediately, but thought carefully for a while before speaking.
"Admiral, let's do this. Since you have not thought about fully equipping the Zhenxi Army at once, and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not have the ability to do this, then we might as well extend the cooperation between the two parties and divide it into More batches, one by one. What do you think? For the first batch, our Chamber of Commerce will let the Zhenxi Army provide it..."
###
After leaving the Zhenxi Army Camp and getting into the magic car, Xu Yi started the magic car and drove out of the camp. The smile on his face immediately disappeared and he gave a wry smile.
According to the negotiation between him and Admiral Landis just now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will gradually provide the Zhenxi Army with 500 magic repeating crossbows, ten medium-sized magic trebuchets, a thousand sets of weapons and armor, One hundred individual magic rocket launchers and five magic armored transport vehicles.
The total value of these things is close to 200,000 gold coins, and the price Zhenxi Army paid for this was only two promises made by Admiral Landis.
Admiral Landis promised that in the future, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will receive the full support of the Zhenxi Army. No matter what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to do in the Black Rice Wasteland, it can get the help of the Zhenxi Army.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to do something in the Standing Principality, the Zhenxi Army will still support it.
At the same time, if the Zhenxi Army can successfully invade the Sac Kingdom, then Admiral Landis will follow the plan and hand over all the mineral resources in all the captured territories to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The latter promise about the Kingdom of Sark was just treated as if it did not exist, but the former promise was also relatively satisfactory.
With the support of the Zhenxi Army, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will gain absolute say in the Black Rice Wasteland. It is extremely beneficial to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s development plan for the entire Heimi Wasteland.
The situation within the Principality of Standing is even more chaotic. If we can get the support of Zhenxi Army. This will greatly increase the security of the territory acquired by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yixin.
To put it bluntly, this nearly 200,000 gold coins in military magical mechanical supplies is equivalent to the protection fee paid to the Zhenxi Army by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although it is a bit expensive, it is very practical.
Of course, Xu Yi was not satisfied with this situation.
He very much hoped that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could no longer be affected by anyone or any force and develop smoothly.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not strong enough now, and often has to compromise.
And this kind of compromise is often not only in the military field, but also in the commercial field.
After leaving the Zhenxi Army Camp. Xu Yi drove his magic car back to Heimi City. Without any rest, he directly summoned representatives from various chambers of commerce in Heimi City to hold a joint meeting of the Heimi City Business Federation.
At this meeting, there was only one topic discussed, and that was clear standards.
When various chambers of commerce were still in Bangta City, because of the undisputed dominance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, almost all standards for the magic industry were determined and promoted and implemented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Other chambers of commerce could only abide by this standard. .
As the situation changed later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now withdrawn from the Lampali Kingdom. The Magic Industry Administration, which currently controls almost all the magic industries in the Lampali Kingdom, has re-established a completely different set of rules from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. standards. And requires that the magic machinery be produced within the Lampali Kingdom or elsewhere. All magic machines brought into the Lampali Kingdom for sale must comply with this standard, otherwise they will not be approved for sale.
The Magic Industry Administration's actions had a huge impact on the Lampali Kingdom, and also had an equally huge impact on the various chambers of commerce that produced magic machinery in the Black Rice Wasteland.
Although most of these chambers of commerce have withdrawn from the Kingdom of Lampali, for many chambers of commerce, their main market is still the Kingdom of Lampali, and the main targets for the magic machines they produce are still Lampali. The residents of the Pali Kingdom.
Now the Lampali Kingdom Magic Industry Administration has introduced a new standard, forcing these chambers of commerce to either abide by this standard or be forced to abandon the Lampali Kingdom, a relatively mature market that has been cultivated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But it is not that easy to completely change the standards. For many chambers of commerce, this is equivalent to completely overthrowing the previous foundation and starting over. For many chambers of commerce that are not particularly strong, it is tantamount to extinction. disaster.
However, if the standards are not changed, the main market of the Lampali Kingdom will be lost, which is still a dead end for these chambers of commerce.
In desperation, the chambers of commerce could only turn their attention to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for help.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to comply with the regulations of the Magic Industry Administration of the Lampali Kingdom and assist these less powerful chambers of commerce in making changes to the entire production line, then they may be able to survive this crisis.
However, Xu Yi only had one comment on their thoughts.
"Stupid!" Xu Yi had never shown such a stern expression in front of these people, and his tone had rarely sounded so serious and low. "Do you really think that as long as the standards are changed, those guys will let you go? Haven't you learned from the previous experience in Bangta City? Those greedy guys simply want to drive away everyone except them. Get out of Lampali Kingdom!”
A bunch of chamber of commerce representatives sitting in the conference room looked at each other with helpless expressions.
"President Xu, actually we understand this, but there is nothing we can do about it."
"Yes, President Xu, it's not that difficult for your New Aviation Chamber of Commerce to change the standards. You only need to make some adjustments to the magic machine tool equipment. I think it should be able to meet the regulations of the Magic Industry Administration. Isn't that okay? Quite a few words”
…
Looking at everyone who was still feeling lucky, Xu Yi sneered and shook his head.
"No, your understanding of standards is too shallow. Let me tell you, the battle for standards is actually a battle of life and death. Once we obey the new standards proposed by the Magic Industry Administration this time, all of us will have to be punished by the Magic Industry Administration in the future. It’s all in the palm of your hand. Even our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no room for resistance. Which of your chambers of commerce do you think is stronger than us?”
Everyone was silent. After a while, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce asked Xu Yi: "Then... President Xu, do you have any solution?".
Facing the hopeful gazes cast by everyone, Xu Yi smiled and replied: "It's very simple. Since those guys in the Lampali Kingdom don't want us to continue to interfere in the Lampali Kingdom's market, then we will abandon this market. "
"How can that be done? Ninety percent of the goods produced by our chamber of commerce are sold to the Lampali Kingdom. If we abandon this market, aren't we waiting to die?"
"Yeah, we're pretty much the same."
"Same for us."
…
"Don't forget, at this time last year, except for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, 10% of all the goods produced by your chamber of commerce were sold within the Lampali Kingdom, and now some of them have been sold. to other areas.”
Xu Yi showed a confident smile.
"Believe me, abandoning the market of the Lampali Kingdom may make you feel uncomfortable for a while, but you can take the opportunity to welcome a much broader market. And it won't be long before I am convinced that the market of the Lampali Kingdom will The film market will take the initiative to open up to us again.”
