Chapter 1044 The Midsummer of Arms Dealers (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
What is the age of peace?
It's a disaster!
At least for arms dealers, peaceful times are disasters!

But peace is also a business opportunity.

In fact, in the eyes of qualified businessmen, any situation is full of various business opportunities.

Jensen is more familiar with this than others. As the representative of the South River Defense Company in the Roman Empire, he sells more than 5000 million rubles of weapons to the Roman Empire military every year on average, not only earning huge profits for the company, but also would have amassed enormous wealth on their own.

Glancing at the confidential telegram just received in front of him again, Jason said a little excitedly:

"My God, this is definitely a land of Chu girls..."

No one responded to his surprise.

Standing up from the oak desk presented by the Roman Empire Navy, Jason walked across the room and walked to the window, staring at the Bosphorus Strait outside the window, with a panoramic view of the strait, seagulls chasing and circling, What catches the eye is the vastness of the sea and sky.

This is the capital of the Roman Empire - Constantinople!

No matter what those who depreciate it say "Russia is not equal to Rome", but they cannot change the fact that Russia is now the Roman Empire!
Four years ago, the Russian Empire regained Constantinople, the double-headed eagle of the Roman Empire once again rose on this land, and the Sophia Cathedral once again sounded the sound of Christian mass.

"Of course, please rest assured, after the torpedo is delivered, we will definitely conduct an experiment, and your Excellency will be conquered by him in a short while!"

"He will even become the most powerful weapon at sea. Even a battleship is vulnerable to him."

Ming's light Gatling has become the most effective weapon for suppressing rebellions in the Anatolian Plateau and the Caucasus region. The empire's steel and cement bunkers squeeze the living space of the rebels. They will appear on the high mountains and destroy everything on the ground with bombs. Hundreds of thousands of rebels were killed in such an unprecedented blow.

"Yes General, you can imagine a mine with 200 kg of explosives, 600 meters away at a depth of 2-3 meters underwater, rushing towards a battleship at a high speed of 20 knots, and at the moment of impact, 200 kg The dynamite exploded with such force that it would have been blown in two, and before anyone on board could even react, they would have sunk with the ship."

"The torpedo looks like a really powerful weapon. However, my friend Jason, the Roman Empire, as an ally of the Ming Empire, you have mastered this weapon as early as the last war, but Unwilling to share it with us, your allies, you hid him until the British accidentally recovered your lost torpedo, and you decided to sell it to other countries."

"Torpedo, its speed is as high as 20 knots, and its range is more than 600 meters. The most amazing thing is that its mine head contains more than 200 kilograms of bombs. General, only one or two torpedoes can sink a ship of tens of thousands. Tons of warships!"

"When will you send the torpedoes? Perhaps we can conduct a trial in the Black Sea."

Half a year later, under the gaze of the whole world, the Emperor of the Russian Empire was crowned as the Emperor of the Roman Empire in the Sophia Cathedral. The Russian Empire became the past, and a brand new empire stood on this land, and cheers were heard everywhere in Russia.

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips twitched, and he went straight to the desk and picked up the phone.

Of course, those people did not give up their resistance - more than 20 Chechens in the Caucasus chose to rebel against it. The Russian Empire was also panicked, and it took a lot of effort to quell the rebellion.Until now, there are still [-] Roman legions in the Caucasus to quell the rebellion there, and some fierce Tianfang believers have become bandits in the mountains.

"Hey, Jason, I have to say, you will always be a very good businessman."

The "Jerusalem Incident" changed everything.From "studying without leaving one's head, keeping one's head without leaving one's teaching", to destroying Tianfangjiao books and monasteries, prohibiting local people from speaking Turkish and Tianfang language, to completely changing the way of life of local people.

As he spoke, Admiral Lesovsky stretched out his hand to the phone and watched Jason say.

Jason, who is of Chinese descent, has dealt with these Russians for so many years and already knows what they like to hear.Speak exaggeratedly.Absolutely no problems.

……

However, such a change is not necessarily a good thing for Jansen, even though he had just signed an arsenal construction contract with the Roman Empire military on behalf of the company a few months ago. What is needed is new business.

And now, a new business is in front of him.

However, all of this was an excellent business opportunity for Jason, an arms dealer. Under his recommendation, weapons produced by the Ming Empire continued to flow into the Roman Empire.

This is Jason's judgment. In his report to the company, he described the changes in the Roman Empire in extremely detailed words, and even used the increase in pork consumption in the newly occupied areas to prove the effectiveness of the Roman Empire's rule.

"Torpedo, torpedo boat..."

Although the confidential telegram sent from China only briefly described the principle of the torpedo and the function of the torpedo boat, the detailed report will not be able to truly understand the torpedo and the torpedo boat until the mail is sent.

"General, what is the biggest feature of torpedoes? It is to save military expenses. With torpedoes, a small speedboat with a displacement of only a few tens of tons can directly threaten battleships. General, the islands in the Aegean Sea are extremely suitable for torpedo boats. In the region, only a few dozen torpedo boats are enough to threaten the British Mediterranean Fleet!"

As an arms dealer, Jansen would never blush because of Admiral Lesovsky's words.

As an arms dealer, Jensen knew very well how he should describe its power.

There was a tinge of sourness in Admiral Resovsky's voice as he spoke.

Smiling, Admiral Lesovsky said.

Admiral Lesovsky said in surprise.

"Under the valiant attack of the Armenian infantry, the Roman Empire has gradually calmed down... I have reason to believe that in five to six years, there will be no success in the Roman Empire, except for a very small number of fierce people who are still hiding in the mountains. massive rebellion."

"General, any new weapon you know needs to go through a long period of testing. We have been trying to perfect this weapon as much as possible before, and now it has been fully perfected by us."

Of course, for those in white hats, it's a disaster.

As for the torpedo, he had never even seen it, but he knew very well that the description in just a few dozen words was enough to make the Roman Empire Navy's heart move.Just like when a man sees the goddess in his dream, there is no one who doesn't want to get on the bed, but this goddess is the kind who can sink a battleship.

"Maybe, we will purchase a few torpedo boats, but before that, I hope you can prove this with facts."

A good arms dealer will not only tell the other party that this weapon is very powerful, but also tell the other party that your enemy is stronger.

In Admiral Lesovsky's office, Jansen explained to him the power of torpedoes. "200 kilograms! Even mines don't have that much explosives."

"General, you must know that the British have more than 8 battleships in the Mediterranean, and their threat to the Roman Empire is obvious!"

In the past four years, whether in the Russian Empire or the French colonies in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of people from heaven have gone to Persia or India. Of course, Yemen and Oman are also places where they escaped.

"Then I'll be looking forward to your demonstration!"

When he was about to make a call, he asked again.

"By the way, have your ten-year machine guns been delivered?"
