Chapter 108 Smuggling Arms (Part 2)

After leaving the tent, the servants immediately surrounded Cons and warned him. Cons asked several logistics officers.

"What should we do? What should we sell it?"

Unexpectedly, in order to obtain arrows and maps, he actually wanted to play a guest role as a businessman, and all the five logistics commanders focused on Oak.

Oak is more like a logistics officer than a personal guard. He has left all the logistics affairs of the brigade to manage. Only he knows which ones can be sold and which cannot be sold in the batch of goods he brought.

"Sir, we are now stocking 108 packs of salt, 2500 machetes, 1500 iron spears, 1300 horse sabers, 720 strong bows, and 1100 ordinary bows. Just leave a fraction of them for later use, and sell them all, right?"

Originally, a brigade did not have so much inventory, but Cons was worried about the invasion of the herds and flags, so he replaced the excess money department with weapons in the market. In addition, the previous seized became so much.

Cons and the five sergeant commanders were shocked. This was almost equivalent to clearing the inventory of the entire brigade. Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Oak didn't care.

"It's okay, there are hundreds of machetes and hundreds of bows, which are enough for us to use for a long time. And if we don't make such a big bet, we may not be able to supplement the map and arrows at all.

"Also, this will also reduce the load on our carriage and let you run away easily."

Now that I have come to a thousand people, the remaining weapons must be enough to replace them. Moreover, nearly a thousand people use bows and arrows, the demand for arrows is very high. In this prairie, if you want to obtain the supply of arrows, only these large markets can have them.

After passing this village, there is no such store. No one knows when the next battle will break out. You must know that the number of arrows determines life and death.

Also, after reducing so much weight, it was indeed faster to escape. Thinking of this, Cons agreed.

What goods to change?

Now is the time to run away. Besides horses that are conducive to speeding up the escape, what else can I change?

"We can't sell so much salt, we need at least twenty packs to keep the bottom!"

A sergeant reminded.

Cons asked, "How long can these twenty packs last?"

In this prairie, you are not afraid of having no food or drink, but you are afraid of having no salt. This is a very important thing.

"It's enough for us to spend a year or two." The sergeant thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, leave twenty-eight packets of salt, sell the others, and sell the strong bows for 500 pieces." Cons concluded.

It is better to have a strong bow with a sharp weapon at the far end, or to leave more points for backup. Some of the weapons inside are weapons, especially strong bows, which are strictly prohibited from leaking out of the army.

Cons and the others did not realize that their actions were privately sold ordnance and were a felony.

Back at the tent, Cons pointed at Oak and introduced it to the Wanhun.

"This is Oak, the manager of our business group. Let him introduce the goods we brought to the Lord."

Oak salute.

"Mr. Wanfu, although we brought nearly a hundred carriages, since this time was a tentative commercial activity, we didn't bring much supplies, only eighty packs of refined salt, two thousand exquisite machetes, one thousand full iron spears, one thousand sabers, five hundred strong bows, and one thousand ordinary bows. It's a pity that there are no arrows."

Hearing this, the commander of Jingxiong Wanfu looked surprised, and the team leader and logistics soldiers who knew about the inventory changed their faces. Weijie couldn't help but pull Oak's sleeves. However, seeing that Cons and several logistics commanders looked as usual, they understood that this was a decision after discussion, so they felt relieved.

They did not pay attention to the wrong behavior of privately selling weapons, but even if someone asked for guilt, he would shirk responsibility by saying "it was robbed by the enemy."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if there are no arrows. We can't bear to use those arrows from metal poles..."

Before Wanfu finished his long story, a document came to mutter, and he immediately changed his words, "... Since we all have the intention to trade, should we take a look at the goods?"

"No hurry, the price has not been discussed yet. I wonder if I can explain to us the price given by Guiqi?"

Oak said with a smile, and the head of the Wanfu thought for a moment and gave instructions to the documents beside him.

"Ask a few people to bring the comparison items."

Hearing this, he knew that the ten thousand men were not stupid and knew to use the comparison to determine the price. Weijie immediately became anxious and stood up to say something, but was grabbed by Geralt beside him in time.

"What do you want to do? We cannot act casually when we are now!" Geralt whispered.

Weijie quickly replied in a low voice, "I want to remind Uncle Oak that we should first figure out the price of their original goods, otherwise we will suffer a loss if they open the price casually?"

Geralt looked angry, "Idiot! I really don't know what you think! He is the chief of ten thousand men, and he bids on behalf of the Jingzi Muqi!

"For the sake of Muqi's reputation, he would not deliberately falsely report the price. Otherwise, if the matter is spread, should Jingzi Muqi still hang out on the grassland? Even an idiot would not do such a thing!"

Hearing this, Wei Jie nodded reluctantly.

The clerk soon came back with a few guards and placed a spear, machete, saber, strong bow, and ordinary bow in the center of the tent, and a small bowl of yellow coarse salt. The ten thousand men pointed at these things and said.

"Let's quote a horse. For ten long spears, the same is true for a horse, machetes and sabers. For two strong bows, one for a general bow, five for a horse, and fifty kilograms of salt, you can compare it to see if the price is satisfactory."

Cons signaled Oak, the commander of the logistics team, Geralt, Weijie and others immediately walked up to check the weapons. When they saw it, everyone laughed.

Oak looked up, "Sir, if our goods are better than these, then how do you calculate the price?"

The eyes of the ten thousand men lit up: "Every high-quality level, the price will double!"

Oak nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to Cons, "Sir, let's take the goods here?"

Cons nodded, and Oak immediately took half of the person away.

There is no way, you need to use these unmarked horses to pull the carriage.

Cons and others had a chat with Jingxiong Captain Wan. The Captain Wan looked envious, "...Your Free Alliance is so beautiful, the wind is beautiful, and it's so beautiful, so we here are miserable. Although the spring is bright these days, we all know that the weather in early spring changes as soon as possible. The sky is clear in the morning, and the snow is drifting all over the sky in the afternoon... Has Oak been back?

"... Let me tell you that once it starts to snow, it will be endless and it will not stop for the next month and a half!

"Ah, then, the people in the gathering place are better, and the food and grass will be ready for a long time. Those who leave the gathering place will be miserable, and a large number of people will be frozen to death every year.

"Not to mention the livestock... By the way, has that manager Oak not come back yet?

"...You are here just right. If you only came in the evening when it was snowing heavily, the heavy snow would bury you!

"Haha, don't worry, it won't snow during this period of ten days and half a month. It's enough for you to leave the grassland, or you might as well wait for the heavy snow to pass by us?

"We grassland people are very hospitable! The lamb and milk tea are infinitely welcomed... People come! They go to the gate of the gathering place to guard, and only come back after receiving the manager Oak."

Seeing Jingxiong Wanhuochang asks from time to time whether the carriage has arrived, Cons understands it very well.

Now the Muqi invades the empire in large numbers, and the demand for weapons is very huge. Although some of them can be plundered from the empire, it is not enough to meet the consumption of millions of cavalry.

Cons did not think that the Muqi could win. As long as the upper class of the empire did not destroy the city walls and did some idiotic actions to help the enemy, even if the Muqi had many weapons and cavalry, it would not win.

The strength of a country is not determined by the number of troops alone. What can be determined by the real one is to maintain the logistics of this army.

The empire has a powerful weapon workshop, a huge food base, and a smooth logistics supply mechanism. Perhaps the empire would be caught off guard by attacks at the beginning, but when it reacted, it had an army with endless supply, and could easily drive the pastoral flag out of the empire.

As for the counterattack of the Pastoral Flag... Cons dared not think about this.

The grassland is too large, and it is easy to get lost if the terrain is not familiar. Unless ten legions are sent to advance together, you will not be able to destroy all the herds and flags.

But in this way, the pressure on the supply is enough to collapse the empire.

Although I understood the importance of logistics in the past, Cons, who had been a logistics lieutenant for a while, truly understood that logistics is the important key to determining the outcome, especially in the confrontation and tug-of-war with equal combat effectiveness, logistics is even more important.

As for the reasons why the herdsmen invaded the empire, after seeing the lives of the herdsmen in the gathering places and listening to the nagging of the chief of Jingxiong, we can understand that the grassland is poor and the environment is harsh.

Think about it, on the prairie, there is nothing short of food and fresh water, and everything else is missing.

Moreover, whether food is short of depends on the face of the sky. If the weather is good, it is of course free and unlimited. If the weather is bad, it will happen every minute and every second.

Just as the head of the ten thousand men said, although the spring is bright here now, it has not penetrated into the grassland yet, but the deeper it is, the colder it is, and there are heavy snows of several meters deep.

Suddenly, Cons couldn't help but think of the word "self-destroying the city wall", and from this, the Weiss business group dressed by the imperial people.

According to the dialogue between them, it was obviously not as simple as selling weapons. Ninety percent of it was the rebellion of the empire selling intelligence to Muqi.

But, so what?

Not to mention that you are in the grassland, or in the empire, who would believe what you said as a little lieutenant?

It's better not to worry about these things that you can't control.

Although I knew the upcoming heavy snow would be troublesome, Cons dared not stay here.

He believed that the pursuers with the wooden flag were behind him, and these pursuers would definitely follow the trajectory of the car. There was no way to leave such traces because there was no way to hide them.

However, entering this gathering place and leaving should confuse the pursuers for a while. After all, there are too many traces of carriages entering and leaving here.

If you stay here for the winter and are found in the house, you may have been taken over before you figure out what's going on.

Not to mention that the crystal-shaped flag will not help the wooden flag, this is completely impossible!

In order not to be destroyed, we can only leave as soon as possible and find a place where no one is spent in the winter when heavy snow falls. In this way, when heavy snow falls, the pursuers will lose the clues to pursue themselves, and they should be safe for a while.

However, this requires maps and arrows very much. One is to avoid getting lost, and the other is to kill enemies. They are all indispensable things.

Thinking of this, Cons couldn't help but turn the topic into this aspect.

"Mr. Jingxiong, I wonder if I can borrow the map? You also know that the importance of maps to a business group. This time, we stumbled to find the gathering place of your flag by relying on the simple map obtained from other business groups.

"I heard you say that heavy snow is coming. If you go the wrong direction on the way back, it will be over. I wonder if you can help me?"

Geralt and others on the side immediately shut up and quietly waited for the answer from the head of Wanfu. The head of Wanfu also felt that the atmosphere was a little nervous, but they didn't care.

This is something that concerns the fate of the business group. Nervousness is inevitable, he smiled.

"Mr. Cons, I understand your mood, but I am very sorry, the pastoral flag map is related to the life and death of the entire pastoral flag. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to view it. Even inside the pastoral flag, it is only at the level of a thousand men or above that of thousands of men. And those are still simple.

"Only the banner owner can watch the real complete map, even my banner owner's brother has never seen it, so I'm very sorry."

Cons and others sighed, although disappointed, they could understand.

Among any force, the map of the force is an extremely important confidential document, and even one's own people cannot know the details, let alone outsiders.

When Cons was about to ask the consultant guide, he didn't know whether Captain Wan didn't want to lose his business or wanted to help, so he spoke.

"but……"

As soon as these two words came out, Cons and others immediately had their eyes lit up and their ears were raised.

It seems there is hope.hf();
