Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Pickering Island

In the end, representatives of the economic union set the currency exchange rate between the two sides at 1.5 union dollars equal to the price of one silver coin.

At this time, Horns also realized the disadvantages of Markcoin.

The smallest denomination is gold coins. Large-value transactions are much more convenient, but they are easy to be taken advantage of, especially the big-tailed wolf of the Merox Empire.

A few days later, at the same beach, the corners of Horns' mouth could not help but curl up at the first sentence Burks spoke.

"One hundred million marks is too expensive."

As long as you are willing to bargain, it means that the other party is willing to do business.

"It can't be any cheaper. The Pickering Island where you are located is one of the largest overseas islands of the empire." Hornes said firmly. As for whether it is the largest overseas island, Hornes is not clear. In short, the importance of the island is first Blow it again and say it again.

Burks also used this to argue with Horns for more than an hour, before finally pulling the price back to 40 million marks, but it also made Horns very distressed, with a rent of nearly 6 billion Union dollars a year.

"The rent is paid every five years. The first year starts from the signing of the contract. Thank you Shenghui for 200 million marks." Horns said with a smile on his face.

This is definitely the best deal he has ever done.

"We need these materials." Burks was also polite, and took out all the medicine materials they urgently needed now.

With the passage of time, Blue Star may become a world of high martial arts like Sino Continent, but this time is very long, and the preliminary estimate will be at least thousands of years. The overall strength of Blue Star is much worse than Sino Continent, which is naturally much Blue Star didn't have any scarce potion materials.

Horns looked at the list, and found that those were not the most scarce resources on the mainland, so they could be sold to them. Nod and bring out their list of needs.

The purchase list of the Maxim Empire is very simple, large-scale steelmaking equipment, various high-precision machine tools, which is similar to the Melox Empire, except that they only have one economic union, and Aslan also has a Bremen Federation.

Birx nodded, and quickly made a decision to sell the domestic ordinary precision machine tools to the Maxim Empire. With the improvement of technology, there must be no way for Blue Star to survive.

After so many years of development, the alien races in other worlds have long discovered the greedy nature of the human race in the Sino Continent. The reason why they did not fight hell and the abyss is because of their own strength, and the fact that the two worlds are not suitable for the human race. resources and development value.

The two sides are mutually beneficial, and they secretly restrain each other to prevent the other from developing too fast, and at the same time hide their clumsiness.

Horns has sent a message back. Their plan is very simple. They will rent out Pickering Island and not give the Economic Union a chance to land on the mainland. The only opportunity for exchanges and trade between the two sides is the beach where they are now. Soon here It will be built into a large deep-water port.

As for the ocean, Foer's attitude is very simple, don't think about it on the mainland, as for ocean resources, you can let them develop.

This condition made Burks overjoyed. This is the biggest good news after the meeting in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, is it wrong for us to do this?" Hornes asked subconsciously.

After seeing the cannons of the battleships of the Economic Union, he also realized the importance of the navy. Without the containment of the navy, coastal cities would live under the cannons of the enemy's battleships.

"Of course it's wrong, but if we don't do this, how can we let those Blue Stars help us develop ocean resources." Foer sneered.

"Establishing the Ministry of the Navy, with Shaya serving as the Minister of the Navy and fully developing the navy, I don't believe that the empire of Nuoda can't develop a navy that surpasses the economic alliance."

The last sentence of Foer made the ministers of the court couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is holy!"

This is to let the Economic Alliance act as a scalper, and when the Imperial Navy becomes stronger, it will swallow everything they have developed in the ocean, and also let the Economic Alliance send troops to the Eastern God Sect sea area from time to time to play guest pirates, consuming the strength of the Eastern God Sect. The distance between the Melox Empire and the capital of magic is too far, and before a complete supply line is established, even the Economic Union cannot make an expedition to attack these two countries.

The most important thing in a naval expedition is not the supply, but the supply islands and routes along the way. The Sino Continent is a world of high martial arts, and who knows that there are no super-level sea beasts in the ocean.

At present, the navies of various countries in the mainland have always been operating in the near sea, and there are very few operations in the far sea.

The Maxim Empire finally reached a business alliance with the Economic Union.

The original coastal town was renamed the main city of Freemasonry, and the empire's first deep-water port was built. This is also the only city in the Economic Union that can land in the Sino-Maxim Empire.

There are heavy soldiers deployed around the main city of Mutual Aid, and there are two big mentors, and more than 50 people of the mentor level are sitting in the town. Even if the Economic Union wants to send a strong man to leave the main city of Mutual Aid, it is very difficult. As for the coastal cities, the economy is not allowed. The alliance is more than 50 kilometers away, which is enough to be observed by the magic tower in the main coastal city.

The first business deal between the Economic Union and the Maxim Empire was not the battleship Horns coveted, but a machine gun that could be put on the battlefield as soon as possible, and it was a heavy machine gun.

The Maxim Empire bought two thousand of them in one go, fifty-three marks a piece, which made Horns feel bad, but after seeing the power of the heavy machine gun, he nodded in satisfaction.

The heavy machine gun Burks sold to Horns originated from Blue Star in 1451, that is, one hundred and fifty years ago. At that time, the Economic Union had not yet been established. It was the pillar power of the Economic Union, the country of Istar, famous for its gun design Master Perino developed a heavy machine gun by himself. This machine gun uses a special structure for bomb feeding.

The gun is an air-guided automatic principle, a water-cooled barrel, and a cage-shaped flame arrester at the muzzle. Although the gun is fed by a springboard, it is slightly different from other similar types. Its feeding mode is similar to that of the Hotchkiss light machine gun. There is a huge ammunition box carrying the magazine. It uses a large-capacity magazine with 25 rounds. The ammunition box can install 5 magazines at a time. One of the springboards started to be extracted.

Different from crooked handles, this machine gun has a reliable structural design and solid material for the spring plate, and the failure rate is very low during use. In addition, the capacity of the spring plate is large. The shooter only needs to concentrate on aiming and shooting, and the ammunition hand can not panic He was busy putting the ammunition into the ammunition box. In terms of firepower continuity, it was stronger than the Maxim machine gun. The latter needed to be replaced after a single ammunition belt was fired, which made the country of Ista famous.
