Tales of Soldier - Chapter 209

[Chapter 209 The Rich Nation]

The first to be destroyed was the robot with a crack in the chest of the second. After killing an enemy, the artillery of the federal army was concentrated on the robot of the first.

Faced with a firepower attack that was twice as powerful as before, the remaining robot did not exist for long before it became a pile of scrap metal on the ground.

After eliminating the two robots, the Federal Army began to concentrate on eliminating the remaining enemies.

With the help of the red mecha warriors assigned to each of the clearing troop, the clearing troop found the enemy very easily. As long as the enemy is discovered by the Federal Army, these enemies will inevitably become scrap metal.

If the two sides attacked each other face to face, this gang of enemies, which numbered in the millions, would definitely be able to kill them without spending much time with the Union Army, which had the advantage in strength. However, because they were scattered and hiding, the Federal Army needed to spend a lot of time looking for their traces.

Therefore, it took the Federal Army three days to completely wipe out all the enemies in this area.

When the last enemy mecha warrior was killed, the cheers of the people and soldiers immediately resounded throughout the entire capital star.

Compared with the people’s feeling of relief and fear, and the joy of the military’s victory, all the civil servants in the federal government, from the president down to the mayor, are sad.

The reason is very simple. This battle completely destroyed the economic center of Capital Star. The economy of the entire Capital Star has been set back for more than ten years, and the economy of the entire Capital Circle has been set back more than fifteen years because of this chain reaction.

No way, the economy of the capital circle is mainly concentrated in the capital star, if the capital star is unlucky, other planets will be even more unlucky.

“How long can I use the economic reserves?” Chen Yu, who was irritably walking back and forth in the office, asked the economists who had gathered.

One of the oldest economists among so many economists, took out a document and looked at it, and said: “Your Excellency, according to our calculations and speculations, if economic reconstruction is not carried out immediately, our economy will The reserves can only last for three months.”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but stop suddenly, and asked with an incredible expression: “Only three months? Can’t we delay the time of the people’s riots with so many material reserves?”

The economist swallowed and said: “Although our material reserves are rich, most of them are living materials and military materials. These materials can only ensure that the people are not hungry. Other daily necessities and various consumer goods must be purchased from outside. Without these things, the people who have been spoiled and pampered would have ousted this government.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu immediately burst into anger in his heart: “Damn the federal government of all dynasties, why do you treat the people in the capital circle so kindly?

“Even if the people in the capital area at that time were all relatives and friends who were related to you, it was impossible to decide to provide these people with free food, free supplies of various daily necessities, and even free luxury goods once a month. Law.

“Those bastards have been used to living a life of these things without money for so many years. If they don’t have these supplies now, they wouldn’t rebel immediately!”

Chen Yu knew that this would definitely happen, because even when the parliament ruled the capital circle, they did not exempt from this supply system.

If you can’t continue to maintain this supply system, then you can be sure that the people in the entire capital circle will have to step down as soon as possible.

This is not as simple as letting Tang Long step down as last time. Last time, those people just marched and demonstrated because Tang Long was not pleasing to the eye.

At that time, although Tang Long transferred two-thirds of the materials without authorization, and the people were very opinionated, but since their material rationing was still similar to before, it had not really harmed their interests, so after Tang Long threatened, They backed off immediately.

But this time, except for food rations, other material rations cannot be satisfied, and the people will definitely resist desperately. And he didn’t know at that time whether Tang Long was willing to help him suppress these people.

If Tang Long stands by and lets the people oust him from power, then controls the parliament and directly serves as the president, then he, who has all the power and power of the government, will turn the Wanluo Federation into his personal product!

Thinking of this, Chen Yu’s heart trembled, and he hurriedly threw away the thought. He didn’t dare to think about it, because the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Chen Yu regretted it a little, how could he find Tang Long as a partner.

After he changed his mind, he asked the economist: “Our economic reserves are so huge, why can we only maintain the supply for three months in the metropolitan area? According to my estimation, it will not be a problem to support it for a few years.”

The economist said helplessly: “It’s not because of other forces, we are unlucky and deliberately raised prices.”

“Damn! These bastards who are taking advantage of the fire! How can they do this!” Chen Yu scolded regardless of his demeanor.

Hearing this, the economists bowed their heads and muttered in their hearts: “Please, whoever told you to call for the unification of the federation as soon as you came to power is equivalent to treating all forces as enemies.

“Since it’s an enemy, then when you see that you are in trouble, don’t you make a fool of yourself, do you want to help you get through it?”

Chen Yu suddenly remembered something and asked: “Do we have to buy supplies from these forces? Can’t we…”

When Chen Yu said this, he suddenly stopped, because he remembered that the capital circle was surrounded by other forces of the Federation. If he purchased materials from foreign countries, they would have just been transported into the country, and they would have been intercepted and detained by these forces. .

An economist obviously did not realize that Chen Yu had discovered his mistake, so he kindly reminded him. Not surprisingly, he was rewarded with a blank eye.

After gnashing his teeth for a while, Chen Yu asked, “Can you rebuild our economic center within three months?”

When the economists heard this, they all shook their heads like a rattle. three months? Don’t laugh, the destroyed economic zone will not have time for two or three years, so don’t even think about restoring it to its original appearance.

Chen Yu slumped down in his chair with his head down and saw this, the old economist reminded a little cautiously: “Your Excellency, you can ask the big families of our Wanluo Federation for assistance, maybe they can… …”

His words stopped, because Chen Yu waved to them and told them to back off.

After everyone left, Chen Yu lit the cigar and took a deep breath. Looking at the misty smoke, Chen Yu sighed deeply.

He knew that the economist suggested that it is a very good way to ask the big families for help, but if he can get the support of those big families, he still needs to worry about this and ask these economists for solutions?

Thinking of these families’ requests for him to visit, they made various excuses to refuse. Thinking that the Lin family, who had already set a date, suddenly said that Lin Zhendong was not free recently, and asked himself to make an appointment next time, Chen Yu couldn’t help biting the cigar. Loudly, he scolded in a low voice: “It’s very euphemistic, didn’t it make it clear that you don’t want to support me? Fuck!”

Chen Yu knew very well why these families were unwilling to support him. It must have something to do with Lin Nan. That guy wanted to step down for a long time.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu pouted and thought: “But Lin Nan, do you think I’m stepping down, you must be the president? You must know that those big families support not only a force in the capital circle. Maybe they made an agreement to cede the capital circle to other forces?

“Besides, even if these big families don’t want to let the capital circle disappear, and continue to support you as the president. However, don’t forget who has the military power in the capital circle now, that guy is so easy to deal with? Maybe he wants to be president himself!”

Thinking of the existence of Tang Long, Chen Yu suddenly remembered the information he had received not long ago, which was collected by his cronies who entered the Unchaotic Galaxy Datang Kingdom.

Thinking that because he was busy dealing with economic issues, he hadn’t had time to watch it, and he couldn’t help but immediately press a few buttons on the table to call up a piece of data to watch.

Deng Tao, who was sitting on a cargo ship, did not know why the boss, the president of Wanluo Federation, let himself come to this chaos-free galaxy to investigate the general situation of a force called Datang. When he thought about it, the Chaos-Free Galaxy was a place where all day long chaos, backwardness and poverty, there was nothing to investigate in this place.

Since there was no flight to the Unchaotic Galaxy, Deng Tao finally found an acquaintance who was selling arms all over the place after spending a lot of time, and boarded the spaceship that entered the Unchaotic Galaxy.

Deng Tao felt that he was really lucky enough to find an acquaintance who just happened to go to Datang, a galaxy without chaos, to do business. If this is not the case, even if I find the spaceship that enters the Wuchaan Galaxy, I don’t know where the power of Datang is in the Wuchaan Galaxy.

Thinking that the acquaintances beside him were likely to know about the Tang Dynasty, Deng Tao immediately began to collect information: “Brother Zhang, what kind of place is this Tang Dynasty?”

Brother Zhang, who was humming a song, said with a smile, “It’s a beautiful and rich place full of money.”

“Beautiful and rich? Is this a force in the Unchaotic Galaxy?” Deng Tao couldn’t help but wonder, but instead of asking this, he said with bright eyes: “Where there is money everywhere? Brother Zhang, give it to me. talk.”

Deng Tao behaves like this because he has given Brother Zhang the impression of a young man who is crazy and eager to get rich.

“Hey, you know, this is just an exaggeration, but let me tell you, it is really easy to make money in Datang, and all kinds of opportunities to make money can be found almost everywhere, not to mention that businessmen from several nearby countries go to Datang If you run there, businessmen from some distant countries will come.” Brother Zhang said.

Deng Tao doesn’t believe what Brother Zhang said, and opportunities to make money can be found everywhere? It’s not like cheating, is it?

Although he didn’t take it seriously, Deng Tao still pretended to be drooling and asked anxiously, “Brother Zhang, what is the opportunity to make money? Tell me about it.”

“Hey, this can’t be said, it’s up to you to find it, this is the norm.” Brother Zhang blinked and smiled.

Of course Deng Tao knows that this is a business rule among businessmen, but why are you, an arms dealer, doing this business rule? Deng Tao cursed for a while in his heart, but on the surface he was pitiful and pleading.

Of course, in a situation where you don’t care and don’t want to talk, the topic of making money quickly ends.

“Brother Zhang, what kind of goods are you transporting to Datang this time? It’s actually full.” Deng Tao changed the subject and said. He would not directly ask about the Tang Dynasty to collect information. This method of collecting information is the most stupid, and will make people doubt his identity at any time.

“Oh, it’s a batch of old antiques, gunpowder guns and gunpowder bullets.” Brother Zhang replied casually.

“Powder guns and gunpowder bullets? Ancient weapons before laser weapons were common? How much are these antiques worth?”

Deng Tao’s face was full of surprise. He did not expect that Brother Zhang would transport these old antiques to Datang for sale.

Could it be that the Tang Dynasty was so rich that someone bought these antique collections? Doesn’t it mean that the people in the chaotic galaxy have eaten but not eaten?

Moreover, judging from the chaos of the chaotic galaxy, even if the rich want to buy weapons, they are also buying new weapons and equipment for their own bodyguards. How can it be possible to buy antiques?

“Oh, the old antique I mentioned just now means that the style of this batch of goods is old, not that these goods are antiques, and this batch of goods has just been produced.” Brother Zhang saw that Deng Tao had misunderstood and could not help but explain.

Deng Tao, who was already very surprised when Brother Zhang transported antique firearms to Tang Dynasty for sale, was dumbfounded when he heard that this batch of goods was just produced, and he asked after a while, “Brother Zhang, you Can this product be sold for money? It won’t even be able to earn back the fuel bill, will it?”

Brother Zhang saw Deng Tao’s expression of whether he had any problems, and said excitedly: “Am I such an idiot? Tell you, this batch of goods can be sold for three million Wulai coins! Listen clearly, it is three million Wulai coin, not three million rupiah!”

“Three million Wulai coins? Three hundred million Luo coins? Impossible?” Deng Tao looked incredulous.

Due to the separatist rule of the Wanluo Federation warlords, the warlords from all over the country have privately printed currency, and the original Wanluo coins could hardly flow out of the capital area, so the Universal Bank mentioned the exchange rate of Wanluo coins to Wulai coins by one hundred to one.

“Hmph, I won’t say much. When the money is in hand, you will believe it.” Brother Zhang said with a displeased expression.

“Uh, Brother Zhang, it’s not that I don’t believe it, it’s just that it’s too surprising. How could anyone buy this kind of gunpowder gun that has been obsolete for many years.” Deng Tao said with a smile.

Brother Zhang thought for a moment, put on a smiling face and said, “Hehe, I don’t blame you, I couldn’t believe it when I saw the news, and when I went to the door, I found out that the other party really wanted it, because with After they signed the contract, they immediately gave half the money for the goods.”

“Signing a contract? Brother Zhang, in this chaos-free galaxy, is the contract still valid?” Deng Tao asked. Not to mention the chaos-free galaxy, even in the current Wanluo Federation, the contract may not be obeyed by many. In this day and age, everyone has it, and the legal effect of a contract expires thousands of years ago.

Brother Zhang said: “I don’t know about other places, but Datang’s contract is valid. If I swallow the deposit and do not act according to the contract, not only will my organization and I not be able to appear in Datang again, but also Chased by countless mercenaries.

“Not to mention being chased and killed by mercenaries, just not being able to enter Datang to do business will make me lose money, because everyone in Datang abides by the contract. You know, when my organization was in the Wanluo Federation I was deceived several times, and I used all my connections, but I couldn’t even find one. In the end, I paid my own pocket to cover the shortfall.

“Now my organization doesn’t do business with other people very much. It specializes in the business of Datang. The profit is not only higher than before, but also safe. It seems that everyone must abide by the contract to make money.” Speaking of later, Zhang Brother could not help but sigh.

“Well, it seems that Datang attaches great importance to contracts, which means that Datang attaches great importance to economic development. It seems that what Brother Zhang said before is likely to be true.” Deng Tao, who had collected some information, recorded the incident. In his head, he continued to ask: “Brother Zhang, who would be willing to spend so much money to buy this batch of goods? Even if they were bought for play, they wouldn’t need so many goods, right?”

“Oh, it’s from a shooting range.” Brother Zhang said.

“Shooting range? Could it be that people from the Tang Dynasty can carry out these leisurely activities?” Deng Tao was surprised again.

“Haha, I said that you regard Datang as the same as other forces in the Wuchaan Galaxy. I won’t say much, just tell you that Datang definitely surpasses the Wanluo Federation before the warlords’ separatist rule.”

Brother Zhang saw Deng Tao’s dazed look because of his words, he couldn’t help laughing, and then continued: “Although in Datang, not everyone can open this kind of shooting range, but the competition is very fierce, so this The shooting range, specially let me get some more powerful gunpowder guns, and because of this, this batch of goods can be sold for this price.”

“Isn’t the shooting range generally using weapons such as laser guns? Why does this shooting range in Datang use this kind of gunpowder gun? You must know that the armor that can reflect the laser beam in the shooting range cannot stop the bullets of the gunpowder gun. , how did that shooting range enter such a dangerous weapon, aren’t you afraid of causing casualties to the guests?” Deng Tao asked inexplicably.

“Hehe, it’s not a shooting range that uses this kind of gunpowder gun, but all the shooting ranges in Datang use this kind of weapon. As I said just now, these shooting ranges are not open to ordinary people. The shooting ranges in Datang It is stipulated that people without titles and ranks are not allowed to enter.

“In Datang, people who can enter the shooting range to use this kind of weapon have identity and status. Do you think the shooting range can still fail to take the safety measures for the guests?” Brother Zhang said with a smile.

“Ah? The shooting range turned into an aristocratic club? How could this be possible?” Deng Tao is a democrat, so when he heard this very obvious hierarchical organization, he couldn’t help but immediately became dissatisfied.

Brother Zhang smiled again: “Hehe, the Tang Dynasty is a dictatorial country, of course it can do this. I didn’t tell you, and you don’t have to be so excited when you hear about dictatorship. In these days, democracy and dictatorship are fighting. It’s not the main problem for a long time, maybe one day there will be an emperor who can unify the whole universe.”

Seeing Deng Tao’s disbelief, Brother Zhang smiled and changed the subject: “The reason why this gunpowder gun shooting activity is welcomed by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty is that the master of the Tang Dynasty is the most fundamental reason. I like this kind of activity, and the superiors are playing this stuff, and of course the people below will follow along.”

Deng Tao quickly calmed down. After hearing this, he couldn’t help but ask: “Since the owner of Datang likes this activity, and since the shooting range needs this kind of gunpowder gun, why does Datang not produce it by itself, but instead What about buying? Don’t say that Datang has no such production capacity, everyone knows that the production of this kind of weapon is very simple, and any metal factory can produce it.”

Brother Zhang nodded and said: “Of course Datang will not have this kind of production capacity. You must know that Datang can manufacture warships by itself. For Datang’s factories, this gadget is not worth mentioning at all.

“Because of this, it is impossible for Datang’s commercial department to vacate a factory to produce this weapon. In addition, Datang does not allow private manufacture of weapons, so the shooting range had to buy it externally.”

The two of them were between this Hala and came to the vicinity of a blue planet.

Knowing that this planet is the capital star of the Tang Dynasty, Deng Tao couldn’t help but be taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that he had not been intercepted or questioned at all.

Could it be that the power of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that there is no pirate in the vicinity? Is this calm place still a galaxy without chaos? And along the way, I didn’t see a Datang’s security force at all. Could it be that Datang’s security system is so lax?

Deng Tao said this question to Brother Zhang, and got a reply that “there are no pirates near Datang, and the security forces are all at the border.”

Although Deng Tao was not very satisfied with this answer, because when he entered the border of Datang, he did not see the security force at all, but since the spacecraft had already entered the port for inspection, Deng Tao did not ask any more questions.

Brother Zhang accompanied the personnel of the space port to check the goods and waited for the cargo of the spacecraft to be disinfected, while Deng Tao carefully looked at the space port.

Looking at these advanced and brand-new facilities, Deng Tao couldn’t help but sigh that this cosmic port is more beautiful and advanced than the cosmic port of Wanluo Federation Capital Star.

He was a little skeptical about Brother Zhang’s statement that there were thousands of such cosmic ports on Datang Capital Star.

However, when he saw thousands of ship positions in this cosmic port, stopping and going out, and almost none of them could be vacant for five minutes, he believed it.

At the same time, I also believe another sentence said by Brother Zhang: The throughput of the Star Universe Port, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is at least 50,000 ships a day.

For this, Deng Tao was deeply shocked. The throughput of 50,000 spaceships a day, the throughput of Wanluo Federation before the warlords split, the throughput of the capital Star Universe Port did not reach this number.

This huge throughput brings not only prosperity, but also huge economic benefits.

According to Brother Zhang, this Datang is not only the wealthiest power in the Wuchaan Galaxy, but also very likely, the most wealthy power in the large galaxy nearby.

Deng Tao, who walked out of the Cosmos Harbor, thought that he had a certain understanding of the wealth of Datang, but when he saw the situation outside the Cosmos Harbor, he still found that he did not understand the wealth of the Datang.

Spacious and clean streets, beautiful and bright flowers and trees; countless buildings that are not tall but very beautiful on the side of the road; although there are many, but orderly and quiet traffic flow; polite, but hurried, full of Vibrant crowd.

All of this made Deng Tao feel that the capital star of Wanluo Federation was simply not comparable to the capital star of the Tang Dynasty.

When Deng Tao sighed, he suddenly found a strange phenomenon among the crowds coming and going. When the crowd encountered certain specific people, they would suddenly stop and respectfully nod and greet these specific people. Automatically get out of the way and pass these specific people who are equally polite and polite.

Deng Tao saw that these groups of people greeted and gave way to those specific people from the heart, because there was no reluctance on their faces at all, some were just respectful envy, and a little bit of jealousy, there was absolutely no disgust. look like that.

Deng Tao found that these specific people could not be distinguished from ordinary people just from their appearance.

However, under his careful observation, Deng Tao found that these specific people had a small badge on their chest.

The pattern of this badge is not the same, Deng Tao found that there are bows and arrows, spears, axes, shields and other patterns. These patterns should be used to distinguish the status between them, but Deng Tao didn’t know which pattern represented the higher status and which pattern represented the lower status.

Brother Zhang found out what Deng Tao was paying attention to, and couldn’t help grinning: “Those are the title badges, referred to as title, all officials in the Tang Dynasty have this title badge, and the title and military rank are the same.

“The titles of the Tang Dynasty are very finely divided. There are seven ranks and twenty-one ranks. Those who do not have titles and ranks should greet those with titles and ranks, while those with lower ranks should greet those with higher ranks. But it was written into the laws of the Tang Dynasty.”

“Hmph, the feudal system.” Deng Tao couldn’t help but snorted.

Hearing Deng Tao’s words, Brother Zhang smiled and said: “It’s not a feudal system, just like the Wanluo federal examination civil servant, as long as you become a civil servant, you can have a title, and except for the highest ranks, which can be retained for life, other titles can be retained after retirement. It will be cancelled. The title of the Tang Dynasty cannot be hereditary. Hehe, is it very similar to the position system of the Wanluo Federation?

“Also, Datang has specially prepared an honorary title for those who are unwilling to be officials and foreigners. This title is awarded according to the degree of contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Except for no salary and power, this honorary title has no other The treatment is the same as that of a regular title, you Zhang brother and I are just a little short of it, so I can get an honorary title.” Speaking of this, Zhang brother couldn’t help but feel proud.

Deng Tao didn’t pay attention to what Brother Zhang was proud of. He had long been thinking about the title system of the Tang Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Deng Tao found that the title of the Tang Dynasty seems to be no different from the position system of democratic politics except for being respected. Thinking of this, he could not help but ask: “If it cannot be hereditary, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty will not object to it. Right? I know that the predecessor of the Tang Dynasty was a family system.”

Brother Zhang said with a smile: “Hehe, after the title reaches a certain level, a person can be elected as an official. Such a person who is elected can directly obtain a title that is one or two levels lower than the person who recommended it. People, I don’t know how much hardship it has saved.

“Moreover, those with titles and military rank have discounts in many aspects, and their salaries are very high, so high that you can’t believe it. Besides, how dare those nobles have any opinions, you know, the Tang Dynasty But Tang Long has the final say, and those who dare to resist will not see the sun the next day!

“Thinking of this, I can’t understand why Tang Long, a good-looking emperor, doesn’t do it, and goes to Wanluo Federation to be a marshal.” Brother Zhang said this, and couldn’t help but look puzzled.

“It turns out that Tang Long is the owner of Datang. I finally understand why the boss asked me to come to Datang to collect information.” Deng Tao, who knew who the owner of Datang was, nodded suddenly and stopped talking.

Looking at the image captured by Deng Tao on the screen, Chen Yu didn’t wake up until the cigar burned his fingers. He glanced at his office blankly, and then sighed deeply.

He came from an intelligence background, and can see the hidden information from a simple thing.

Chen Yu didn’t read the military intelligence behind him, and he didn’t say that he didn’t care about it. Even if he did care, he could know that the military intelligence behind him was of little value.

According to the strict espionage system of Datang, if Deng Tao really finds any useful military information, this information will definitely not be sent back.

Chen Yu has already obtained the information he wants from the images just now. To sum it up simply, it is: Datang is rich, Datang attaches great importance to business, Datang is strictly hierarchical, Datang has a strict system, and Datang is full of vigor.

Chen Yu stroked his finger that was scalded by the cigar just now, sighed and said, “Alas, if you seek skin with a tiger, just seek skin with a tiger. Anyway, in this day and age, anything can happen.”

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes, and he whispered to himself, “However, it is not impossible for a salted fish to become a live fish.”

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he got up and pressed a button on the table and said, “Prepare the car, I’m going to the military headquarters.” Just after saying this, Chen Yu was obviously stunned, because this scene and this sentence made him very familiar. .

After thinking about it, Chen Yu shook his head and sighed, then turned and left the office.
