Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 321 I have the confidence to overturn the table
Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"The Republic of Borneo doesn't even have a real economy, so how can they impose sanctions on it? The United States is just boasting about its strength. Its equipment may be very advanced, but a country's strength does not depend solely on its equipment."

"If nothing else, in World War II, they relied on opioids and Coca-Cola to control the combat effectiveness of the army just like Germany. I'm really not afraid of an army that relies on drugs!"

Seeing their disbelieving expressions, Zhang Kaiwu said calmly:

"There are nearly 20,000 islands in the Strait of Malacca. The Republic of Borneo is 20,000 kilometers away from their battle line. With just the supply lines within the army, I can drag them to death if they want to use mechanization."

"If we don't fight a landing battle, and instead fight a guerrilla war in the rainforest 20 kilometers behind, what use will the aircraft carrier fleet be!? I have the guts to flip the table!"

Elizabeth said in surprise:
"Dear Zhang! They have nuclear weapons as a back-up, what trump card do you have!?"

Zhang Kaiwu explained seriously:
"Dear Ms. Elizabeth! Because the area here is vast and sparsely populated, and the people are poor, the power of nuclear weapons is not that great for the Republic of Borneo! Its deterrent effect is at most a decapitation effect. There are so many islands here and the caves are so deep, it is probably not easy to use."

"Besides, even if a war really breaks out, it will most likely be a rainforest or jungle war. I now have a ground mercenary force of more than one million, and I can continue to send more troops at any time."

"As for basic light weapons, once the chemical plants are built in a few months, we can start producing them ourselves. I will then ask Eastern Europe for some advanced weapons. Do you think Eastern Europe will give them to us?"

Several grand dukes thought about it from another perspective. If they were in Eastern Europe dealing with this matter, the emperor is far away and the sky is high, so the best way is to win them over first!
It is even more difficult to conquer this place by force than in the Middle East. If it were really easy to control Borneo, it would have been successfully colonized long ago after changing hands so many times.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at their expressions and probably knew what they were thinking, so he said humorously:
"Or! Why don't we make a bet? I bet that the representatives from Eastern Europe want to come for an inspection. Who knows, the representatives from the United States might be on their way now!?"

"Besides, it's just a nuclear weapon. If you really have the money to produce it, is that really that difficult!?"

These grand dukes and Elizabeth's family are not good people either. They are all plundering peoples, and if there is a chance, they don't mind doing business without any capital.

Zhang Kaiwu could not show any cowardice or weakness at all, he had to show confidence in his fighting ability, otherwise it would not be a business deal, but inviting a wolf into the house.

He really wasn't afraid of death. There was no such thing as easy success in this world. What did death mean to him?

Wang Yongfu and the others should not be afraid of death!

………………

Many people do not understand Europe and NATO, nor do they understand where the conflicts between Germany and Eastern Europe come from.

Strictly speaking, the ancestors of the Dukes and Elizabeth's family are the Ansatzes, a branch of the blond and blue-eyed Germanic people, and they are not the indigenous population of Great Britain.

According to historical and cultural records, the British Isles are actually the home of the red-haired Kates and the Irish, and London is where the French raise deer.

When the Romans first came to the island of Great Britain, they beat the Celts and forced them to flee everywhere, but they found it too cold and boring here, so they ran away again.

then!

This branch of the Germanic Ansa people followed the Romans in their second conquest of the British Isles, and the red-haired Celts were driven away again. These Ansa people were left in London by the Romans to guard the London territory and raise deer, which led to the history of the Ansa people's rise.

Even the name London was given by the Romans, which means the place where rivers converge in Roman.

The Romans conquered the Germanic people, and the Germanic people then attacked the Celts and the Slavs.

The weakest Slavs and Kateks were beaten by the Germans and Onsas, and one fled north and the other fled east.

Therefore, there is genuine affection between these two ethnic groups, and they can basically be said to be one family.

The poor Romans fell into decline later on. The whole of Europe at that time was uncultured and people thought it was because of the collapse of the bathhouse culture, so people in medieval Europe were extremely afraid of taking baths.

Due to their poor cultural background, we don’t know what they are panicking about! ?

But scientific research shows that the Romans were ruined by sugar because of their extreme addiction to desserts.

Because the only dessert available at that time was honey and no white sugar, it was impossible to satisfy their need for sweetness.

But the Romans finally made a great invention. They discovered that if they covered the copper pot with a thick layer of lead, the water and wine boiled in it would have a sweet taste.

The crazy Romans caused the price of lead to soar, at one point it was more expensive than gold, and everyone fought over lead!
Men fought for a lead kettle to boil water, and women were even crazier. Cosmetics and food without lead were not a luxury at all!
Even though many doctors later discovered the poisonous effects of lead, the Roman king could not stop the army from enjoying that sweet taste.

Even if women make themselves look sickly pale and sickly, as if they are about to die, they still think that is a kind of beauty!

As a result, the Romans fell into decline, and were defeated by the rebellion of the Germanic and Ansa!

Only then did Germany, France (Celts), the United Kingdom, and a series of small countries come into being, and only then did the Slavs rise.

The medieval culture of the entire European region was barbaric, ignorant and bloody.

But strictly speaking, there are only three ethnic groups in the whole of Europe: Slavs (including Celts), Romans, and Germans.

The red-haired Kates actually have a very close relationship with the Slavs. You will know this if you pay attention to the situation.

Even though they fought fiercely during World War I and World War II, in fact, everyone would make peace immediately after the war, and there was no need for a reason at all!!!
The French nobles and the Eastern European nobles have always supported intermarriage, and the tricks used by Eastern Europe in the early days were all learned from France.

Even the economy, system, military formation, everything is modeled after France.

Although Great Britain and Germany have been fighting each other to the death, in fact, those who have been intermarried with the British royal family have always been Germanic people, and their relationship can be said to be like that of one family.

Elizabeth's family was pure Germanic, and the cousin she married was of the same pure bloodline.

In other words, the Germans have always been the kings of Great Britain, and this has never changed.

Germany's steel torrent and its battle with Great Britain in World War II seemed to be performing a show for the world.

But if they catch the Slavs, including the Celts, they will beat them to death. There are stories hidden in this!
You must first understand the relationship between Europeans before you can understand the wars among Europeans.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Zhang Kaiwu smiled and chatted with Elizabeth, talking about his idea of ​​starting a war, his expression calm and composed.

Since you want to know my trump card, I will let you know my determination. I am not afraid of death at all.

………………

Several grand dukes thought about it and decided that they knew a little about the situation in this place. After all, Count Serra and the Governor of Thailand were their subordinates.

The two governors-general of Malaysia and Thailand had some idea about the collusion between them and Zhang Kaiwu, and the grand dukes had some idea about it.

What's the use of Count Serra's 20,000 troops in the Strait of Malacca? Malay is actually already under the control of Princess Ningping, and the army has hundreds of thousands of people.

They couldn't blame the governor's office for not working hard. The soldiers hadn't even been paid, so if they didn't make some extra money, would they let those people starve to death? ?
This is the current world situation. Great Britain really has no money, and all of its overseas colonies are suffering losses.

The advance payments for the shipyards that had just been received were all used for pensions. The shell holes in London were repaired, but they were all very poor.

The nobles are rich, but it is impossible to ask them to pay to replenish the national treasury!
Zhang Kaiwu was not bragging. Even though the Republic of Borneo had just been established, there were at least 400,000 to 500,000 mercenaries here, totaling more than one million mercenaries.

The financial strength of his company is enough to mobilize a million regular troops in times of danger. Without life-and-death hatred and huge conflicts of interest, it is really impossible for the United States to start a war.

Elizabeth heard the hidden meaning in her heart: Earl Zhang already has a way to make nuclear weapons! ?
You have to know that now only the United States and Eastern Europe have nuclear bombs. As an experienced female soldier, she did not continue to ask about this matter. How could it be so easy to obtain the technology?

She worked as a medic for five or six years, but to put it bluntly, it was just a show.

To put it bluntly, they don’t have patriotic sentiments and really don’t care about those things. They just care about the investment environment here and are afraid that huge amounts of money will be wasted.

.....................

The sunshine and beach here are indeed beautiful. Back at the banquet hall, everyone quickly started dancing.

Zhang Kaiwu was busy bonding with the ladies, chatting and laughing. After a pleasant breakfast the next day, Count Serra, who was busy fighting pirates, also took a break. Together with the pirate leader Xue Long, he led everyone on a heavily protected flagship to visit the investment environment of Kalimantan Island.

Except for the one from Elizabeth's family, Zhang Kaiwu saw that she was pregnant and did not go. Everyone boarded the ship excitedly to see the scene. The men went to see the terrain, and the women probably went to play.

This is the fact, they handle all the frivolous things very professionally.

The strait is a bit far away, and we didn’t reach Kalimantan Island until the evening. Fortunately, the scenery around was so beautiful.

The water was seven or eight meters deep, so clear that you could see the fish, shrimps and crabs at the bottom of the water, and the seaweeds looked like big trees. Everyone was attracted by the scenery and didn't feel tired at all.

Various tropical fish and large lobsters swim in the sea, and abalone as big as brain axes are everywhere.

Golden and colorful fish dazzled their eyes, and various whales and dolphins played beside the ship.

Sisters Cathy Kearney and Ariel Abbas kept sighing:

"Oh my god! I have never seen such beautiful water. I feel like I am in heaven!"

"I have to play here for a few months, I want to swim, I want to sunbathe."

"Oh my god! I won't go back until I get a tan!"

The island is rich in resources. Due to their religious beliefs, people here have no habit of eating seafood. The coral reefs that have not been damaged are so beautiful.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Your description is not accurate. It should be said that it is like the boat is sailing in the forest, and it feels like wandering on the treetops."

Except for Count Serra who was tired of seeing it, the noble gentlemen were also very surprised to see this paradise.

Even though the flagship had already docked at the dock, the group of people didn't want to leave.

On the island of Kalimantan, there is only one relatively large city, Madan, and countless tribes.

Zhang Kaiwu was not in a hurry and waited until they got tired of watching.

A large group of talents disembarked reluctantly and, under the arrangement of the Borneo mercenaries, went into the city to rest.

The city streets here are much smaller than those in Jakarta, and the environment is much more primitive. Apart from some company headquarters left over from mining and some machinery, there are various straw huts.

There are many strange tribal marriage rules here. Although they have entered civilized society long ago, the custom of proposing marriage is something you can't even imagine.

The various savages, dressed in various clothes, were an eye-opener for the visiting crowd.

It is not uncommon to see people with two wild boar tusks on their noses, wearing a half-grass skirt, and looking very fierce. There are also people wearing grass ropes, and even bamboo tubes!
There are all kinds of grass art everywhere.

A group of ladies screamed in surprise!
When they saw a large group of one-legged men, they couldn't help but be surprised. They were too pitiful!

The mercenaries' bodyguard and guide Lu Changfen took the female mercenaries and quickly explained the situation to them, asking them not to be sad.

Things here are not what they imagined, there are all kinds of customs and habits.

When a woman in a tribe loses her husband, she will cut off her index finger to enter a widow village and live in isolation from the world. They cut off their index finger, which is nothing unusual.

But the tribe next to them is very strange. The gift that a man asks a woman to marry him is too horrible. After building his own thatched hut, he will give her his right leg as a gift.

It was really like offering a thigh to someone, so much so that all the married men in this tribe had one leg and used two crutches.

Their wives will take good care of them and will not let them do heavy or tiring work in the future.

So in this tribe, the man with two legs is the pitiful one. He is a coward who is afraid of the coming-of-age ceremony and the pitiful one who has not been able to marry.

Listening to the introduction of the mercenary captain Lu Changfen, everyone at the scene, both men and women, were amazed!
It's really tireless in destroying people!
There is also a tribe that keeps their dead relatives at home and takes them out to bask in the sun from time to time.

There are even a dozen cannibal tribes roaming around here, practicing wedding robbery rituals for many years.

Their behavior is even more cruel. They not only rob women, but men as well!
A group of ladies and noble gentlemen held their chins to prevent them from falling.

Zhang Kaiwu also looked at the group of one-legged men speechlessly and their proud expressions. They are the ancestors of the dog-licking world!

There were some people on the street trading things, but they didn't want cash.

Aili'er fell in love with an exquisite deerskin mask that was inlaid with gold. She wanted to buy it, but the man refused to accept her cash transaction.

The mercenary team next to them was experienced and helped hand over a small shovel.

The man was so happy that he immediately took the shovel and tried it, and the deal was done.

.....................

Ai Lier put on the mask, took Zhang Kaiwu's arm and asked curiously:
"Dear Zhang! Why is there such a barbaric custom? This is simply unbelievable!?"

What could be the reason for this?
Just love leisure and hate work!

Zhang Kaiwu said calmly:

"Dear Aili! I have never been here before, and this is the first time I have seen this phenomenon."

"Although I don't know the specific reason, I can guess roughly. It's because the cost of living is too low and the source of food is too easy."

The mercenary captain Lu Changfen next to him said quickly:

"Senior Zhang! We haven't figured out the reason here, but your way of saying it is probably the most reasonable."

"Except for the thugs we captured, the people here don't accept employment at all. They don't work."

"They basically bartered and planted some simple and primitive crops in front of and behind their houses and nearby, relying on those simple things to be self-sufficient."

"Those lands are basically planted three times a year and have never been tended. Many of them were planted hundreds of years ago."

Zhang Kaiwu listened attentively, there were too many sources of food, this was the real reason.

Just like those people in Africa, why are they always lagging behind.

Why is it that the same land that can produce three crops a year often causes large-scale starvation to people? It’s all because people are used to lying down.

Without the habit of building a home, there is no pressure in life.

Coupled with the backward medical environment and barbaric living habits, the population base has not been able to develop, and then all kinds of strange and bizarre rules have been formed.

After walking down a street, the group of people withdrew their surprised eyes.

Cathy Kearney, Ariel Abbas and those noble gentlemen felt that they had finished shouting "Oh my God" in their lives.

Everyone arrived at a large villa area by the sea, as if they had entered civilized society again, and the group of people forgot about those straw ropes and naked butts.

Watch the sunset over the beach, shining with golden sand.
