Chapter 249 The only Option Provided by the Kind Organization

Qin: "In fact, in my opinion, I don't mind the Holy Church having contact with the resistance forces of the Gaomu Kingdom. After all, the Holy Church doesn't like pig-headed people, and they are also very dissatisfied with them. In terms of pure interests, the Crurod Empire and the Holy Church have a premise for common cooperation. Of course, I also know that the Holy Church is a human-first cult, and they have always had a very obvious rejection of non-human races. But the current high-level officials of the Holy Church are not fools, nor are they fools who keep the ancestral laws immutable. When it's time to make changes, their priests have a variety of flexible ways to deal with it."

Unlike Pierre, who was fighting against the waves of pig-headed people in the low sun, Qin at the Linmington Weapons Company did not hesitate to say her evaluation of the Holy Church's recent behavior. Zelen, who has always disliked the Holy Church in various ways, but has to cooperate with it for the money of the Holy Church, shook his head again and again.

The Holy Church is not stupid, and it is unwilling to become the oil extraction material of the Crurod Empire. In order to ensure the normal development of its own economy and increase its own income year by year, the Holy Church has set its sights on more distant overseas.

That's right.

The Holy Church not only has a cooperation agreement with the Krurod Empire, but also has certain commercial cooperation agreements with the Negan Empire.

As for the purpose... it's very simple. The Holy Church also wants to reap a wave of profits from the Takagi Kingdom. As a country where almost all the people are illiterate, the Takagi Kingdom is stupid and naturally has a lot of money. In addition, the resistance forces in the Takagi Kingdom can effectively block the pace of the Akitsu Empire, so why not ask these rebels for some money?

More importantly, the profiteers of the Negan Empire offer so high prices that some resistance forces directly develop various weapons and equipment on their own.

This is not a good thing.

If an armed force takes the path of completely self-production and self-use of materials, it will definitely be difficult for outside merchants to do business. The Orchid Republic of the year finally obtained a considerable amount of production technology through procurement and imitation, thus completing the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country.

Therefore, the Holy Church also concealed its evil intentions and tried to use its cheap products to make the rebels of the Takagi Kingdom buy them, and cultivate the idea of ​​"it's better to buy than to make".

After all, for now, the resistance forces of the Takagi Kingdom are at most better than those who use cold weapons completely.

At most, they will make explosives for use in battle.

Moreover, the Takagi Kingdom also has a kind of tree that many countries will plant on a large scale-diesel trees, which also has a good foundation in making incendiary weapons.

But that's all.

The rulers of the Takagi Kingdom, that is, the current Takagi royal family, because of their illegitimate position, have also used force to purge and exile the original ruling forces. Therefore, the royal family of the Takagi Kingdom is extremely afraid of the military force of the people, and strictly controls education from the root, and prevents all kinds of knowledge that should not be circulated from circulating.

Borrowing some "famous sayings" of the current king of the Takagi Kingdom, King Junwu, how can the people rule them if they are not stupid?

Is it possible to rule a group of people who have brains, are not obedient, and know how to refute themselves?

What's the point of keeping such people? Killing them directly can also reduce the country's losses, thereby ensuring that other democracies are obedient and pay more taxes.

However, such a ruling method has few advantages and many disadvantages. The Takagi Kingdom has never been able to become a powerful country, because such suppression has led to the development of science and technology, and even cultural knowledge, which is almost non-existent.

Don't look at the mainstream rifles of the Takagi Kingdom, the companion revolving rifle is not a very backward weapon. But in today's era when the great powers have already used fully automatic weapons, the military level of the Takagi Kingdom can only be described as lackluster.

The only thing is that at least the consumption of rifle bullets in the Takagi Kingdom will not be too severe.

But here comes the problem.

Zelun is very skeptical about one thing. Is the current Takagi Kingdom in time to complete the mission of industrialization?

To become a powerful country, industrialization is an absolutely inevitable choice. Even a resource-poor country like the Akitsu Empire can produce 3 million tons of steel annually.

If there is not enough steel, it is not qualified to talk about being strong.

Nagamasa is also well aware of this.

But now he is also facing a bigger trouble.

As the number of weapons and equipment from foreign forces increases, he also has a clear task of imitation. Therefore, the text from the outside world becomes the first problem he faces.

The language and writing of the Takagi Kingdom are the same as those of the Akitsu Empire, but the language and writing of many foreign forces headed by the Nigan Empire are different.

In other words, Nagamasa either needs enough translators to translate foreign languages ​​and writing, or directly regards foreign languages ​​and writing as the only language and writing that every member of his side must learn.

What does it mean?

Except for a very small number of noble elites, the whole country of the Takagi Kingdom is illiterate. Moreover, the language and writing of the Akitsu Empire have a fatal flaw, that is, the language and writing are not unified.

That is, the same text has different ways of reading.

Although the simple text expression will not cause obvious ambiguity, for the few special cases like him who can master two languages ​​and writing, most illiterate members...

Illiterate members cannot read or hear any language or writing.

So Nagamasa himself was very entangled. He wanted to engage in military industry and develop his own strength, and education was inevitable. At the same time, the arms dealers in the west may have smelled the bloody smell on his side and came to the southwestern part of the Takagi Kingdom to trade on the black market.

To be honest, for now, the prices of profiteers in the Nigan Empire are too terrible. You have to use the same weight of gold to buy a machine gun, but where does Nagamasa get gold?

For gold, he needs to sell food in exchange! Or he can only get it by looting the mansions of some dignitaries!

These two methods...

Are you really kidding him?

That King Junwu has never made public to the whole country where gold is produced in his country.

So he has no choice but to rely on his own ability to build an arsenal to ensure the success of the resistance.

But he doesn't have many choices now.

He lacks people, and is very short of talents who can make weapons and equipment. Therefore, outsourcing is the only inevitable choice.

Especially after an arms dealer who claimed to be a kind organization gave him a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun for free, he felt itchy deep in his heart. But this machine gun fired 15×96mm caseless machine gun bullets, and he couldn't make the gun itself and didn't know how to make it.

Even in the experiment, the lethality of the 15×96mm caseless machine gun bullet was stronger than the 13×99mm machine gun bullets sold by the profiteers of the Negan Empire. At the same time, he also found that the automatic loading mechanism used by this large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun - the barrel-type automatic loading mechanism is not very complicated, and it is simpler than the gas-operated automatic loading mechanism that he has seen more.

Or should I continue to discuss the procurement with the kind organization?

Well... that's it. Anyway, the Negan Empire in the south always produces profiteers, so it's not bad to change the purchasing merchant. What's more, he doesn't want to continue to have a relationship with the Orchid Republic in the north. The Orchid Republic is increasingly strict with smuggling.

Obviously, Nagamasa didn't know who he was dealing with on the black market, and he didn't know that the weapons and equipment he got actually came from a religious group that once wanted to destroy the dog-headed people. But even if he knew at this time, he would not refuse such a deal. After all, if he wants to expand his business now, he has to seek more assistance.

Of course, the best way is that Nagamasa's subordinates can read and write, write and draw. It's just a pity that the vast majority of people in the illiterate country can't master much knowledge at all.

If you want knowledge, you need to pay a considerable price and make enough compensation for the Takagi royal family's deliberate suppression policy of fooling the people. Otherwise, mastering knowledge is just empty talk, which greatly wastes everyone's time and energy.
