Guangwu Empire Palace, Internal Garrison Field

"Your Majesty, please look at one of the products we bought from the Orchid Republic in the north, the Matt submachine gun."

"It's just a folding submachine gun... or a thing made up of several tubes? You told me that it takes a lot of gold to buy it? Do you know what this is? Robbery!"

"Uh..."

"This Orchid Republic is unreliable! They dare to sell scrap iron at a sky-high price!"

Obviously, Emperor Quan Dunde didn't know what the value of industry was. Thanks to the fact that the Iron Fist Empire first applied metal stamping technology to firearms production, the Orchid Republic, which copied others' ideas, naturally introduced it into its own country, and also used it in military production.

So it is obvious that the Orchid Republic, which bullied the Guangwu Empire's low industrial level and knew the Guangwu Empire's ambition to plunder and expand, of course asked for a sky-high price.

But for the ministers present, this is at least not a terrible bad thing.

It is even a good thing.

The Orchid Republic, a country that has been hiding in the northwest corner of the New World for many years, is quite indifferent to the outside world. If it had not known the importance of foreign trade, it might have been able to truly hide from the world.

Of course, the ministers also knew it in their hearts. Compared with the Orchid Republic's vigilance and precautions in the arms trade, the Japanese arms dealers may be the final choice of His Majesty.

After all, the Geiser submachine guns of the Japanese arms dealers are cheap, so cheap that the ministers can't believe it.

A Geiser submachine gun, an empty gun, does not contain any magazines and other types of accessories, and the Guangwu Empire only needs to use corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cassava, pumpkins, peanuts, sunflowers, peppers, and tomatoes to buy it.

Especially potatoes and corn, 2 [To be honest, I have been using it recently, Android and Apple are both available. ] kilograms of potatoes or 24 kilograms of corn can purchase an empty gun of a Geiser submachine gun.

At this price, the ministers of the Guangwu Empire doubted their ears.

Because there are plenty of potatoes and corn on the land of the New World, the plantations of the Guangwu Empire don't know how much harvest they have every year. At the same time, the ministers also understood the reason why the Japanese did this through relevant intelligence investigations-the Japanese government reform was not going smoothly.

Although this matter was proposed by the emperor of the Japanese, hoping that all Japanese would not be alienated because of the so-called aristocratic system; but unfortunately, as a group of ethnic members living on islands, the Japanese have too much land that is listed as a prohibited residential area because of the proximity to volcanoes.

So during the reform period, the Japanese encountered several volcanic eruptions, which caused problems with the domestic food supply. Therefore, the imperialist faction, that is, the traditional political faction that maintains the Japanese imperial system, began to purchase food from abroad to cope with the domestic food crisis.

However, everyone realized that the Japanese royal family, which took the initiative to propose a republic and abandon the imperial system, was trying to reverse the reality that the royal family had no power and had always served as a political mascot since its establishment in the name of the republic. In order to participate in politics, the emperor of the Japanese Mai people openly made a strange act of the royal family voluntarily giving up their royal status.

It must be said that whether it is the Old World or the New World, the "weird" behavior of the monarch of a monarchy country publicly proposing and voluntarily resigning his own emperor status and bidding farewell to the royal status with the entire royal family is extremely rare.

But there is no way.

The reason why the Japanese Mai royal family was born was purely because the Japanese Mai people, who successfully hunted down the Iron Fist Empire, were afraid of losing a leader who could make everyone stand on the same banner, which led to their own division and disintegration. After all, the great founding father of the Japanese Mai people opposed the monarchy and did not want the Japanese Mai people to create an empire.

But history made the Japanese Mai people miserable. The Japanese Mai people who established an independent country were attacked by the Tiger Principality, one of the vassal states of the Iron Fist Empire, for a hundred years. If the Japanese Mai people at that time adopted a republican system, it would be a road to national extinction.

As a result, now, 150 years after the failure of the invasion by foreign enemies and the victory of the subsequent revenge expedition, the Japanese emperor, who was completely a puppet of the military, could no longer bear such a political mascot life and publicly voluntarily gave up the existence of the royal family.

However, the imperial protection faction is currently the largest political force among the Japanese, even though there are actually voices within their own ranks to implement a republican system and strange voices to elect an emperor.

Yes, electing an emperor, the emperor must be elected to ascend the throne.

I don't know if this is a joke.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the real purpose of the imperial protection faction is to find ways to maintain the imperial system. As for who will be the emperor, sorry, no one will care about this. You must know that the throne of the emperor is very attractive, even if the Japanese imperial system adopts the form of parliamentary constitutional monarchy. But the emperor, just the name sounds good.

So what the imperial protection faction, these guys who support the imperial system, think has nothing to do with the Guangwu Empire. Anyway, everyone only needs to know that the Japanese arms dealers who came to the Guangwu Empire are representatives of the imperial protection faction, and they came to the Guangwu Empire to resell arms to make profits for their own country.

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. 】

Who is losing out here... How to say it? Trade itself is fair. It's just that the buyer and seller really want different things, which leads to the idea that both sides always have a profit or loss.

For this reason, not only the ministers, but also their emperor, have said a lot of words to mock the decadence of the Japanese and Mai people.

I don't know if the brain is sick when the good empire changes to a republic.

However, compared with the political reforms of the Japanese and Mai people themselves, arms trade is the most important.

Especially as the natives completely give up using gunpowder weapons and rely on magic power to consolidate their national defense, the Guangwu Empire needs more heavy weapons and more necessary light weapons.

"Then... Your Majesty..."

"Use the Geiser submachine gun for the submachine gun, and then the pistol... Wait? The arsenal still hasn't made the submachine gun style?"

Emperor Dunde, who had no idea that he had been tricked, reacted. He remembered what the ministers had suggested before.

"Your Majesty, this... Your Majesty..."

"No?"

"Your Majesty, there is. But it is not a product of our empire's arsenal. It is... from a big country west of our hometown..."

"Iron Fist Empire?"

"Your Majesty... The Iron Fist Empire has a submachine gun that has appeared in the black market for a long time and has become the standard of major gangs in the underground world. However, the original pistol fires 8×25mm pistol bullets. If necessary, we can ask relevant workers to improve it."
