Chapter 605 Arms Business

Princess Mariedelga will not go home tonight, and Prince Charlie returns to the embassy alone.

Old Jack, the Lion-Hearted Ambassador, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Prince Charlie coming back, he immediately asked with concern: "Your Highness, has little Earl Jefferys revealed any information?"

Prince Charlie's mentality was completely different now. He stared at Old Jack with a scrutinizing gaze, judging the other party's position.

But he soon gave up. Old Jack was too old to see anything.

But being able to represent her mother and stationed in the Great Xia Empire all year round, and having greater financial and financial rights than herself, how could she have a heart-to-heart relationship with her?

"There has been great progress. The Royal Arms Factory will recently update a batch of equipment, including 105 mm caliber heavy artillery." Prince Charlie released the bait.

Sure enough, Old Jack immediately took the bait and asked eagerly: "Is there any chance to get it? How is the condition of the equipment?"

“This production line has been in service for ten years and is the earliest batch of 105 mm caliber production lines. However, it is said that it is still in good condition and there will be no problem if it continues to be used for several decades.

It's just that the Daxia Empire has updated its technology and heard that the cost of the new production line is lower, so it is preparing to dismantle and store it. "

Prince Charlie explained that this kind of upgrading was not uncommon in the Great Xia Empire, and it was not a waste to store it for emergencies.

Although it is just a production line with backward technology, Old Jack does not dislike it at all, because the Lionheart Kingdom does not have this technology.

Solve the problem of availability first, and then consider whether it is advanced or not and whether it is new or old.

He asked the crucial question: "How much?"

Now that little Earl Jefferys has mentioned this matter, he obviously has a way to figure it out.

"Two million gold coins!" Prince Charlie gave an astronomical figure.

Old Jack held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but trembled: "It's worth the price."

Although a brand new set of equipment may only cost three to four hundred thousand gold coins, it is good to buy such sensitive equipment with money.

If the bidding price is cheaper, he still doesn't believe it.

"I need to contact the Queen. This price has exceeded our licensing rights."

The nobles of the entire Lion Heart Kingdom probably have tens of millions in deposits in the Royal Bank of the Great Xia Empire, and the Lion Heart Royal Family alone has tens of millions in deposits.

There are more than 20 countries in the Western Continent, large and small, with deposits of more than 200 million.

It can be said that half of the Great Xia Empire was supported by them.

This is a credibility issue. The financial industry needs the support of strength and credibility.

But even if the Lionheart royal family had so much savings, Old Jack did not dare to spend two million gold coins at a time. If there was a problem with such a large expenditure, he was afraid that his whole family would have to go see their ancestors.

The telegrams between the Lionheart royal family and the embassy seem to be incessant these days.

In fact, there was no result until Prince Charlie represented the Lionheart Kingdom at the Great Court Meeting and met with His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire.

Qin led Prince Charlie to wait outside the palace gate. This was also his first time to attend a court meeting outside the palace.

The officials who came to attend the court meeting looked at Prince Charlie curiously. The visit of the Lionheart Kingdom envoy could only be regarded as moderate news and would not be ignored, but it did not gain much popularity.

Prince Charlie could feel the eyes sweeping over him. He finally got through the waiting time and walked all the way to the main hall.

Fortunately, he was not asked to stand any longer, and a chair was prepared for him on the upper stage.

Soon, he met the Emperor of Daxia.

Even in middle age, Derek still looks energetic and has a strong body that does not look like that of an emperor.

When Prince Charlie's eyes met with his, they both subconsciously avoided it.

Compared to the Lion-Hearted Queen, this momentum is incomparable.

"The envoy from the Lion Heart Kingdom pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia."

Prince Charlie did not dare to be disrespectful at all. The man in front of him was the most powerful person in the world.

"Sit down, it's not easy for you to come from such a distance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Because of this special guest, normal discussions were postponed.

Derek asked a few questions about the situation in the Lionheart Kingdom, including the physical condition of the Lionheart Queen.

"I heard that the Lion Heart Kingdom is a powerful country in the West. Why has it been defeated by the rebels recently? Does the Great Xia Empire need to send troops to assist?"

Prince Charlie broke out in a cold sweat and stood up quickly and said: "These rebels are just suffering from scabies, so I don't bother the Emperor of Great Xia to worry about it. Moreover, we, the Western countries, have been married for generations and are in the same spirit. If we really can't deal with the rebels, , you can request foreign assistance at any time, and it will not be a problem to gather an army of one million."

Although Prince Charlie is self-reliant, he absolutely does not want to see the collapse of the Lionheart Kingdom.

Prince Charlie was still a little worried as he secretly pointed out the strong capital of the Lionheart Kingdom.

Derek smiled slightly. This guy was still too young. In his opinion, the million-strong army in the Western Continent had not yet completed its modernization and was not useful.

But compared with the huge consumption of directly sending troops to occupy, it is better to use other means to seize profits.

After casually changing the topic and chatting for a few words, Prince Charlie was sent away.

This is the international status of Lionheart Kingdom, it is really the little brother.

The royal meeting went on normally, but Prince Charlie was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He just wants to get the heavy artillery production line done now, and the feeling of a weak and tired country is too uncomfortable.

After the court meeting was over, he couldn't wait to return to the embassy, ​​and soon received new news.

"Her Majesty the Queen has agreed, money is not an issue."

The 105-caliber artillery is already considered a third-rate troop configuration in Daxia, but it is still an out-and-out heavy artillery in the Western Continent.

The Lion Heart Kingdom is not stingy with the little money. If it doesn't work, it can increase taxes. Anyway, you don't have to pay out of your own pocket.

After receiving the authorization, Prince Charlie contacted Earl Jeffries Jr. non-stop.

The two met again, and Prince Charlie took the initiative to increase the price: "Two million and a half million gold coins. I can persuade the country to bid up to two million and a half million gold coins."

Little Earl Jefferys looked at him as if he were a fool, and he also raised the price in reverse.

"You must deliver the goods to the Lionheart Kingdom colony."

"No problem!" Earl Jefferys agreed happily.

"Add a gun production line and a small-caliber infantry artillery production line." Prince Charlie looked at the young Count Jefferies seriously: "I didn't counter-offer, you won't lose. Count, please give me some guidance in case the situation changes. , should you invest in me?”

Young Count Jefferys looked at the prince squarely. Did he realize something?

He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "No problem, just treat it as my investment in you. Do you want to increase the price with a small-caliber infantry gun?"

Little Earl Jefferys thought he wanted to steal the gun production line.
