A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 431
You know, the location of Wallaceburg is considered a remote area. It doesn’t matter whether the money from above can be disbursed on time. Let’s just say that it will be disbursed. Time is not considered at first, only the matter of successfully transporting them to Wallaceburg. After experiencing road bandits along the way, natural losses, and other various reasons for loss, it would be great to have half of the materials and money that should have been delivered in full.

It was originally a hard job stationed in the west, and there was not enough money and supplies. How could Colonel Favors lead the team?

Therefore, the reason why Favors was able to hit it off with Cornwall, who was preparing to enter Wapiti to exploit oil, was because Cornwall provided material and financial support.

It was precisely for this reason that Favors, who lost the support of Cornwall, immediately became interested in Arthur.

Arthur, who had figured out the above, smiled and said:

"Colonel Favors, you are a quick talker."

After a short pause, his tone changed.

"But is there really no problem with your character that a mother is a mother only if she has breasts?"

"Haha, Mr. Morgan." Favors flicked the cigarette butt away and continued with a smile:

"I'd rather you call it sizing up the situation."

Arthur nodded.

"So what do you have to tell me about Cornwall?"

"Betrayal is out of the question, and there is no such thing as betrayal. Mr. Morgan, please stop joking. If I can betray Cornwall today, can I sell you tomorrow? Haha, so let's not say that this is not conducive to cooperation. That’s it.” Favors said.

"Ah, Colonel Favors, what you said confused me very much. You mentioned Cornwall yourself, and now you say that, could it be that you want me to do charity?"

"Of course not, Mr. Morgan, do you know about the Krag-Jorgensen rifle?"

A very useless semi-automatic rifle, almost useless compared to the same type of German-made Mauser rifle. Of course, Arthur knew that.

"uh-huh."

At Arthur's signal, Favors continued:
"Before the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, the Army uniformly replaced this semi-automatic rifle. Until the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, almost 50 were produced. Now that the Spanish-American War is over, I can tell you with certainty that this gun is Rubbish, its performance on the battlefield can be described as useless, and it caused our army to suffer a big loss."

"I still remember the Battle of San Juan Hill. The enemy on the opposite side was equipped with Mauser rifles. We had 7000 people and lost 500 people directly, while the enemy on the opposite side only had 750 fucking people!..."

"Ahem." Arthur interrupted Favors's digression.

"Colonel Favors, I'm sorry about this, but let's get back to the point?"

"Of course, of course, in short, the war is over, and now the Army is thinking about changing its equipment, and these garbage things are going to be eliminated."

What do you say about things like arms? Being eliminated on the battlefield does not mean that they are useless. As long as the price is right, you can still make a good profit?After all, trash depends on who you compare it with.

Arthur, who already understood what Favors meant, did not let Favors continue, but raised a question.

"I think Colonel Favors should know, right? I'm not an arms dealer?"

"You don't need to be an arms dealer, you just need to have money. Cornwall has found and negotiated buyers for these Krag-Jorgensen rifles that have been eliminated, and the military has also nodded in agreement. Yes, all the joints have been opened, that is to say, this is a ready-made deal." Favors said with a smile.

Arthur didn't ask why the military didn't directly cross over the middlemen and deal with the buyers. Since there are middlemen, it means that there must be a need for it. As for the twists and turns here, if it is really necessary After a thorough investigation, [-]% of the problems are from top to bottom. Obviously, neither buyers nor sellers are clean.

So don’t ask, the less you know about some things the better, as you can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. "Presumably Colonel Favors can also get a lot of benefits from this, right?"

"Of course." Favors did not deny it.

So a deal in which only Cornwall was injured was reached in this way. As for the Flying Eagle and the Indians of Wapiti, it was incidental. Anyway, for Favors, it was incidental.

……

"Arthur, I'm sorry..." said the flying eagle sitting behind Charles.

The group has now left Fort Wallace and is heading towards the Wapiti Reservation.

Hearing Fei Ying's words, Arthur didn't comfort him, oh, I don't blame you, it's not your fault, it's just fine. Instead, he said very straightforwardly:

"You should not feel sorry for me, but for those companions who followed you and made fools, but did not survive because they were not the chief's son."

"..."

Facing Eagle's silence, Arthur asked:
"What, am I right?"

If this was before the Wapiti luxury tourist hotel and casino was finalized, then Arthur would not have said a word to Feiying, but now the plan has been finalized, and Feiying is the most likely to inherit the tribe after the falling rain. Man, Arthur had to give him a good whack.

"……you're right"

"You don't agree?" Arthur tightened the reins and stopped.

"They know the possible consequences of their choices. Real warriors are not afraid of death, and I am the same. If my death can change the status quo, then I will never live!"

Yes, Feiying is not convinced.

In response, Arthur just laughed and shook his head, not in a hurry to speak.

When Feiying looked at Arthur's appearance, he couldn't help but said:

"What's so funny? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Haha, of course, Feiying, you take your own life too seriously. If you die, your companions die, or even your entire tribe dies, what will change? Living is better than giving up. Death is much more difficult, and only by living can you have the opportunity and possibility to achieve your goals. You think it is brave to dare to face death. I will not refute you, but it is meaningless to die. That is bullshit!" Arthur said mercilessly. said.

"you!……"

Arthur's current smile could not be said to be mocking, at least it was disdainful.

"Me? Is what I said wrong? Come on, don't talk nonsense. You and your dead companions, do what you do this time make sense? Where are the horses? Have you snatched back the horses you wanted to take back? Of course, if you can tell me that after people die, there will be no need for those horses, then I can accept it?"

"you you!"

"Ah? What's wrong with me? It's better to be sober. Young man, all you are doing now is just wasting your father's hard-earned salary. Your self-righteous actions of resistance are of no use except touching yourself. "
