Chapter 1461 Pure Conjecture
At the same time, on the Saint Laurent Empire's side, the troops that went to complete the arms trade with the Great Zhou did not go to their original border, but went directly to the new area where their Saint Laurent Empire was developing and constructing.
This batch of weapons purchased from the Great Zhou was originally intended to be used to arm the garrison troops in the new areas.
Now we can send it directly, saving the time and effort of transferring it back and forth, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.
After the weapons and equipment were delivered, they were quickly assigned to the local garrison troops. Subsequently, the relevant reports were also sent to Saint Laurent V as quickly as possible.
According to the description in the report, this batch of military equipment from the Great Zhou was not only good, but also of extremely good quality. It was even better in overall performance than the same type of equipment from their Saint Laurent Empire.
Although Saint Laurent V already had a preliminary understanding of the quality of this batch of weapons when he confirmed the product samples earlier.
But judging from this feedback, the quality of the Great Zhou's military equipment is actually so good that it is actually a bit beyond Saint Laurent V's expectations.
This made Saint Laurent V wonder whether he should buy another batch.
After all, the area of ​​territory they occupied this time was too large, and even if all of this batch of military equipment was distributed, it would not be enough.
Of course, before that...
"Pass on my order. Take some samples from this batch of military equipment from the Great Zhou Dynasty and send them to the Military Equipment Research Institute for research."
Since it is better than theirs? Then we have to study it.
During this period, in a luxurious courtyard somewhere in the imperial city of the Saint Laurent Empire, Saint Laurent I has entered into his retirement mode since the end of the United Nations meeting.
Of course, compared with earlier times, Saint Laurent I is not as thorough in taking care of his old age today.
The fundamental reason was that the existence of Da Zhou and Zhou Xu put him under pressure.
This made him start to increase his martial arts training.
The fatal battle with the green-skinned emperor in the early days actually gave him some insights.
But he was injured during that period of time, and various things happened constantly, which resulted in him having no time to practice in seclusion.
It wasn't until recent years that I finally had the opportunity.
After a round of seclusion, he finally broke through the small bottleneck that had been blocking him for many years. When he came out of seclusion this time, Saint Laurent I's strength had increased from the original Gold Two Stars to Gold Three Stars.
Since reaching this level, every star-level breakthrough has been extremely difficult.
Although it was only a one-star difference, Saint Laurent I, who had successfully broken through, felt as if he had been reborn.
At the same time, and more importantly, at the moment of breakthrough, his mentality also changed.
Before, he was stuck with this bottleneck for too many years, which made him feel that he had no hope in his life. Later on, he just started to give up.
And now, he found that he could do it.
For a moment, he actually had a kind of exhilarating feeling of "the sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly"! Saint Laurent I was also in a good mood at this moment, and he happened to learn that Marshal Adolf was in the imperial city recently, so he asked someone to call him over to drink with him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for breaking through the bottleneck!"
After learning the news of Saint Laurent I's breakthrough, Marshal Adolf also showed joy.
With the emergence of the Great Zhou, their Saint Laurent Empire has now lost its original dominant position.
Although various forces on this continent have formed the United Nations and ushered in a period of peace, no one can guarantee what the future will be like.
In response to this situation, Marshal Adolf, the "Wall of the Empire", was under great psychological pressure.
Under such circumstances, Saint Laurent I was able to successfully break through the bottleneck and improve his strength, which was undoubtedly great news for Marshal Adolf.
Marshal Adolf, who was originally very restrained in drinking, couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
After three rounds of drinks, they started chatting about random things.
As a workaholic who works very hard on weekdays, Marshal Adolf would naturally talk about business as he chatted, and would also talk about some recent events in the country.
"Recently, His Majesty the Fifth Emperor purchased a large number of military equipment from the Great Zhou. The quality is surprisingly good. He has asked the research institute to conduct research on it..."
After all, this matter was related to their troops, and Marshal Adolf was undoubtedly aware of it. At the same time, considering the current situation of their Saint Laurent Empire, he also agreed with this approach and felt that there was no problem.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Saint Laurent I, who was leaning opposite and was about to drink the red wine in the glass, suddenly stopped.
"Wait, wait a minute, what did you just say? Did you buy a large amount of military equipment from the Great Zhou?"
Saint Laurent I was very happy today and drank a lot of wine. He felt a little dizzy now and his reaction was much slower.
But after hearing this, he still instinctively felt that something was wrong.
During this time, Marshal Adolf was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are in seclusion, so you may not know that the Great Zhou has a large arms business in the United Nations. Before us, it has sold a lot of arms to the Smith Republic."
"Something is wrong..."
Realizing that something was wrong, Saint Laurent I threw away the wine glass, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and then started to circulate the internal energy in his body, thereby speeding up his metabolism and prompting the alcohol to be excreted quickly from the body.
As the alcohol was eliminated, his consciousness gradually became clear.
There is nothing wrong with the arms business itself.
Since they have formed the United Nations, it is normal for them to use the United Nations channels to sell some military equipment, make some money and develop.
But when Saint Laurent I heard about this, he began to make some other guesses.
You know, Da Zhou has already manufactured steam locomotives. He knew this. From this point, it can be seen that Da Zhou's development progress is already ahead of them.
Based on this development progress, the Great Zhou has now begun to sell military equipment on a large scale, which has forced Saint Laurent I to think more.
[Could it be that those guys from the Great Zhou have already developed a firearm?! ]
At this time, Saint Laurent I's guess had no direct basis. It was just his guess, but he felt that it was very likely! Thinking of this, Saint Laurent I obviously couldn't sit still, and went directly to Saint Laurent V's government affairs processing room at the fastest speed!
"We can no longer purchase military equipment from Da Zhou. This transaction must be stopped immediately!"
