Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

"I see, it seems that these ancient bloodline families really have some shocking secrets behind them!" Cole

muttered quietly, and then sneered helplessly, not knowing whether it was mockery or helplessness.

Then Cole stared at Zhang Yi, his face relaxed a little

and said: "I understand what's going on! You can talk about how to cooperate

!" Zhang Yi said the current situation:

"Prime Minister, the Xingnuo Empire has 800,000 troops against the 600,000 of the Xinqiong Empire, and the Xinqiong Empire is already at a disadvantage on the Eastern Front, right!"

Cole squinted at Zhang Yi, sneered, nodded and said

"That's right, but we still have 200,000 troops that haven't been deployed, and we're also recruiting defenders from various cities...."

Zhang Yi raised his hand and interrupted Cole's Dao:

"Wait a minute, Prime Minister, how should you deal with the 600,000 troops of the Kral Kingdom?"

"Hmm, you don't know about the Klar Kingdom?"

"I... This...."

Cole was speechless, he really didn't know the situation in the Clal Kingdom.

The Klar Kingdom had just drawn its army ten days ago, and it would take at least a few days to march to the siege, and even if the direct principality reacted quickly and immediately reported to Kyoto, it would take several days to rush eight hundred miles.

Although the non-stop way of sending letters without changing horses is similar to the ancient Chinese "eight hundred miles expedited", in fact, the core is different.

The 800-mile express is a special communication method specially set up by the central government in ancient China, but this world is naturally formed because of the unique distribution of city-states and the existence of post roads between city-states.

Under such circumstances, the person delivering the letter naturally did not have the pressure from the Nine Clans, not even the pressure of his own life and death.

At the same time, the city-states along the way may not necessarily agree to change horses, unless someone of status and status like Cole is willing to give money. For ordinary people who send letters, at most they will change horses because of the special promise of this information, but it is inevitable that individual city governors will ignore it, which will inevitably waste a lot of time.

In this way, it will take at least half a month or even longer before the imperial court can get the news.

.

Zhang Yi told Cole what he knew, and after listening to Zhang Yi's information about the Clare Kingdom, the corners of Cole's mouth twitched.

In retrospect, after the Clar Kingdom found a reason to withdraw its troops, the Xingnuo Empire immediately launched a full-scale attack, and it seems that they had already colluded.

In addition, Cole was very shocked, the Krail Kingdom can raise 200,000 troops is already very good, how to get 600,000 troops?

And to Cole's surprise, although Su Xincheng is next to the Krail Kingdom, if you want to get these detailed information, you must have already arranged spies and paid special attention to this kind of movement, indicating that Su Xincheng has long been ready for external expansion.

Cole glanced at the musket on Zhang Yi's waist, if it wasn't for Heinz who captured the musket and brought it to him, I'm afraid that when Su Xincheng's army hit the capital, he wouldn't know why.

"What do you mean by doing business..."

Cole squinted at Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi smiled and said,

"Of course it's selling arms!"

Munitions?"

Although Cole heard the word for the first time, he could understand it through the literal meaning, and his confusion was that Su Zheng planned to sell weapons and equipment to himself?"

But Zhang Yi obviously misunderstood Cole's meaning and explained the meaning of the arms

, but although the answer was not what he asked, it was equivalent to responding to Cole's doubts, so Cole asked:

"Huh.... Then tell me, what should we do with

this business?" Zhang Yi did not answer this question directly, but first put forward the condition:

"There is a prerequisite before doing business, first of all, the Clal Kingdom is already our meal, we will suppress the rebellion of the Clar Kingdom in the name of royalism, and when we capture the Clal Kingdom, including the territory here and the territory of the Clar Kingdom, it will be used as the territory of His Royal Highness Su Zheng."

"Well, that's fine.

Cole nodded directly and agreed to this condition, even if Su Zheng did not sell arms to himself, after he suppressed the Clare Kingdom, he would still give him the Clare Kingdom by default.

"Second, we want Heinz, and it must be alive!" Hearing

this, Cole looked at Heinz on the post road, thought for a moment, nodded and said

, "Okay, no problem.

At this time, Heinz on the post road had been staring at the two people talking, although he didn't know what they were talking about, but when he saw Cole look at him and nodded again, he knew that he was probably going to fall down today.

"Well, these are two prerequisites, one commitment and one person.

"Well, how exactly do you cooperate?"

Cole nodded in agreement, neither of these prerequisites was excessive, one was just a promise, the other was just a victim, it didn't matter.
