Chapter 654: The Essence of Thick Black Studies
Facing Arthur's question, Drago slowly shook his head and said, "Our revolutionary army really has no money!"
Speaking of this, he changed his voice and said with a heavy face, "And as long as I can get the arms, what if I lose face as a leader? For the revolutionary cause, I am willing!"
Listening to what he said, Arthur didn't say anything, but Edos, who was making tea beside him, was moved with red eyes and couldn't help saying, "Boss~~~"
"It's okay!" Looking at her, Drago smiled freely and shook his head.
But looking at the two, Arthur was speechless in his heart!
what the hell?
Can you tell the situation clearly?
It's like acting on a TV show!
Complaining in his heart, Arthur said, "Whether you want that is another matter! What I want to ask is, aren't there several kingdoms behind your revolutionary army, and the Victorian Chamber of Commerce? How come there is no money? They only need to pay a little money, so these arms shouldn't be a problem, right? You shouldn't be shameless and ask for free!"
Although this amount of arms is nothing, it is a drop in the bucket for Arthur, and relative to the future potential of the revolutionary army, investing a little in advance will make them develop faster than the original book, causing more trouble to the world government, this little money he Still think it's worth it!
But even so, he also wanted to find out, is the revolutionary army really so poor?
When Drago heard the words, he said sternly, "They are rich, and they are willing to give and support the revolutionary army, but you should know how much an army costs. Without affecting the development of the kingdom and the Chamber of Commerce, they will give Compared with the development of the entire revolutionary army, the support of the entire revolutionary army is often stretched!"
Listening to Drago's words, Arthur finally understood!
What Drago means is that although the revolutionary army has the support of the kingdom and the chamber of commerce, it is also not enough for the development of the revolutionary army!
Arthur understands this too!
How much it costs to keep an army, as the king of a kingdom, he can understand very well!
The army's daily clothing, ordnance equipment, meals, etc. are all the expenses of the army, and they are only the usual expenses. If it is a battle, you must also add pensions, disability allowances, etc. Yes, that's another horrible expense.
If it weren't for St. Martin's products that sold well, and if it wasn't for Arthur, as a rabbit countryman, he had an innate talent for farming and development, and he was also very good at resource utilization.
With the income of a normal kingdom, even with a territory as large as St. Martin's and such a large population, it would not be able to support Arthur's rigorously trained elite soldiers, but at most some ordinary troops of the same number!
"So... you came to me for free arms?" Arthur said quietly.
Drago shook his head and said, "No, in the beginning, I wanted to use the money captured by the kingdom that our revolutionary army is about to overthrow as a guarantee to give you arms on credit, and after we overthrew that kingdom, Still up!"
"But when I came to this kingdom, I found that the people in your kingdom are doing well. I think your kingdom should not be short of this amount of money, so I changed it to ask for it!"
Listening to Drago's words, Arthur's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief!
I wipe!
Do you even want credit?
Lao Tzu has lived such a long life, and this is the first time he has heard that there is credit for buying arms!
And even if it is on credit, at least there is an account!
But after seeing the good development of our kingdom and the good life of the commoners, you didn't even want to take credit, so you just changed it to what the hell?
Does our kingdom owe you?
How are you doing?
What if the kingdom is rich?
Should this send you arms?
Why are you so shameless!
Arthur complained endlessly in his heart, and on the surface he couldn't talk to himself for a long time!
He never imagined that Drago was such a Drago!
When he watched anime before, he also thought that Dorag was a young man with ideals, aspirations, and means. Although he was a little rough and fierce, he looked like a criminal, but he had ideals and ambitions. , There are also means to be good youth!
But look at it now
Alas, disappointed!
Thinking of this, Arthur also felt that this kind of character Drago is indeed more in line with the image of a revolutionary army leader!
Thick-faced, dark-hearted, bold, careful, and strong!
The first four are deeply rooted in the quintessence of black science, and the last one is the quintessence of this world. It’s no wonder that the future revolutionary army is unsuccessful!
"call--"
After being silent for a long time, Arthur exhaled a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Okay. Forget it this time, let me give your son a greeting!"
Otherwise, what else can we do?
Looking at Drago, who is deeply rooted in the quintessence of black science, Arthur couldn't say anything he couldn't say!
And compared to the threat that the revolutionary army can pose to the world government after the development of the revolutionary army, Arthur doesn't bother to care about this money, and treats it as an invisible investment!
"Then I thank you for my son!" Drago squinted and smiled.
"Forget it, you don't need to thank me! If you really want to thank me, send me the spoils of war after the subversion of the kingdom you are about to subvert!" Arthur said shamelessly!
Since he is facing such a shameless character, Arthur should be shameless at all!
Of course, he knew that Drago would definitely not agree to give it, at most he promised to sell it to him!
"It's definitely not possible to send you!" Drago shook his head, changed his voice, and said, "However, I can exchange these spoils for arms, food, etc. at a lower price than the market price!"
Although he said he was changing at a lower price than the market, in fact he did not lose any money. If the revolutionary army made their own shots, they might be able to sell at a higher price, but it also requires time and labor costs!
So it's better to use it in exchange for arms and food at one time!
In this way, not only will you not have to worry about it, but you will also collect the arms and food needed by the revolutionary army at one time. The time cost and labor cost saved are not much different from the price he reduced!
"How much lower?" Arthur asked.
If you can earn a little bit, you’ve already sent out so many arms, so you have to recover a little bit of your losses, right?
He can't live with money!
After thinking for a moment, Drago said, "Eighty percent! I will exchange it with you for eighty percent of the market price!"
The price of the Revolutionary Army is not a loss!
"Yes!" Arthur agreed without thinking too much!
Considering the time cost and labor cost, this price may not be a loss for the revolutionary army, but he also makes some money, but it takes a little time and effort!
"Then it's settled!" Drago nodded.
In this way, the two sides reached a verbal agreement!
However, although it was a verbal agreement and no contract was signed, neither party had any worries. After all, where is the family business of the two people, they will not break the contract for the sake of a little benefit!
