Chapter 1279 The Lord of War ([-]rd update, please subscribe)

We fight to the last Boer!

Of course, Ming's official position is...peace, and Ming will always be a pacifist.

Peace does not forget to sell arms. When time entered 1889, every month a merchant ship full of arms sailed from the mainland of Daming to the African colonies, and then transported by train to the Bechuanaland Special Area, and then to Daming and Bull Republic frontier.

In order to deceive people, these munitions were disguised as hardware equipment, bathtubs and other equipment, and they were even shipped out of Huizhou Port, which had no arsenal.For a while, Huizhou Port was very lively.

However, the port is very lively every day. After all, Huizhou Port is also an extremely important port on the east coast of Daming, and it can be called one of the three major ports on the east coast. Emperor's portrait".

Two years ago, the statue of Emperor Shengde in Huizhou was finally completed. The base is 50 meters high and the bronze statue itself is 49 meters high. Once it was completed, it became a symbol of Huizhou.

The emperor with a sword in his hand seems to be facing the rippling blue Atlantic Ocean, his eyes are gazing at the ocean, looking into the depths of the ocean, like the guardian of this continent, he looks solemn and majestic.The figure of the emperor is integrated with the mountains, and some clouds float between the peaks from time to time, making the bronze statue looming, making him appear more mysterious and holy.The huge statue of the Emperor is built on top of this high mountain and can be seen from most of the city, day or night.

Even when it is raining, the statue of the emperor can be seen in the urban area. Under the cover of rain and fog, it looks even more mysterious and solemn.

"Chief Inspector, I heard that Linhai also wants to build a bronze statue of the emperor. It is said that it will be bigger than ours!"

Ah Hu's words made Ma Rulong smile.

"Wait until your majesty goes down to Linhai and agrees with them to build it. I heard that even this statue of the emperor was built by chance. Normally, we don't build statues in China..."

While chatting, they rushed towards the pier. The reason why they rushed to the pier was because they received a report that foreigners frequently appeared in the port area recently. In fact, even after receiving such reports, They can completely ignore it. After all, matters related to the security of the empire are handled by the Security Bureau.

But Ma Rulong still decided to come to the pier to have a look.

Soon, they arrived at the port. Putting on a raincoat, the two of them went straight into the port area. Although it was raining, the stevedore was still busy there. The whistle of the command crane echoed in the heavy rain. Put on a raincoat to load the cargo on board.

"Are you...the police?"

The arrival of the police stunned the director of the pier. He looked at the two in front of him with some doubts.

"Which police station are you two from?"

"It's from the Municipal Bureau."

After putting away the police badge, Ah Hu said directly.

"The work on your side is quite rushed. It's raining so much, and you're still packing things."

Ma Rulong walked to the side of the freight yard and asked.

"Officer, there is no way around this! The owner of the goods is in a hurry, and of course the big guy has to rush to work."

"Oh? The owner is in a hurry? Is the owner here?"

"It was still there before, I guess it went back to the hotel."

When the supervisor was explaining, Ah Hu had already walked to the pile of wooden boxes, looked at the words on the wooden boxes, and couldn't help muttering.

"It's not right!"

"what happened?"

"Chief Inspector, look at this crate..."

Ah Hu pointed at the box and said in a low voice.

"This box is written as hardware accessories, but it can be seen at a glance that the box has been repainted. Look at its size, it is about [-] meters long, and it has this width. Inspector, what do you think of this box?" What kind of box is it?"

like what?
Like a crate for a rifle.

Taking a closer look, Ma Rulong immediately understood what kind of hardware accessories are here, which are clearly... munitions!

"Director Li, can I have a look at the customs declaration form?"

"Customs declaration?"

The dock supervisor looked at the two in doubt, the smile on his face changed slightly, and he said.

"Officer, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Why is it wrong?"

"Officer, if you are the customs, I will definitely give you this customs declaration, but you are the police, and if there is no search warrant for this customs declaration involving commercial secrets, I'm afraid I can't give it to you."

The supervisor's answer made Ma Rulong smile and said.

"You're right, but..."

While speaking, Ma Rulong gave a wink, and Ah Hu overturned a crate directly. The moment the box fell to the ground, it was shattered to pieces. What hardware equipment was in the box, it was clearly a rifle.

"what……"

"Director Li, is this hardware equipment?"

Pointing to the rifle on the ground, Ma Rulong sneered.

"This this……"

Director Li didn't know whether it was sweat or rain on his forehead. Just as he was stammering his explanation, a man with an umbrella came over.When the visitor saw Ma Rulong, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Inspector Horse?"

"Xu..."

Looking at the people coming, Ma Rulong was stunned. Jing Zaigui, an agent of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, had cooperated with them when they were in Cuba.

"Mr. Xu, what is this?"

At that time, his surname seemed to be Xu!
"Look, I'm doing some business,"

Jing Zaigui said with a smile.

"This business..."

Ma Rulong looked at the gun on the ground,

As a policeman, he certainly knows that the arms trade is the most profitable business in the world today besides the drug trade.So it's no surprise that governments around the world are deeply involved.It can even be said that whether a country has its own arms industry has almost become the lifeblood of a country.

This industry has flourished unprecedentedly in the past few decades, and because of this, unless a war breaks out, the large amount of munitions produced in normal times cannot be consumed at all.So the logical solution is either to export surplus arms and ammunition or to wage war, or both.

However, because almost no government in the world is willing to put their country into the flames of war, but just in case they do not want to sit back and watch their own arms industry decline, so the arms industry of various countries has been focusing on exports for many years.

In order to achieve this goal, each of the major countries has supported a large number of well-paid arms salesmen, traveling around the world.They are eloquent and try to sell weapons around the world, but they never care about what the arms they sell will be used for.

But it's not that all arms sales are visible. These weapons... are obviously not visible, otherwise the Imperial Bureau of Investigation would not have come forward, it's just...

"It seems...it seems not legal!"
