Chapter 127 Preferential Purchase Plan
Irina was somewhat surprised by the preferential plan offered by the outpost.
The receptionist directly pulled out a detailed list of weapons procurement and upgrades. If purchased in large quantities to equip 200,000 legion members, the price would be outrageously low.
“If Your Highness the Princess purchases so much at one time, we will provide corresponding preferential policies, and the price is very affordable!”
The Princess stared at the price displayed above, hesitated and spoke. Said: "What kind of currency is the new currency mentioned above?"
"This is a currency issued by us, and the exchange rate with the currency of the Coman Empire is 1=1."
The receptionist smiled and said, "If you are willing to use this currency , we also have discounts!”
This made Princess Irina instantly alert. She had never heard of the new currency before!
The gold coins of the Coman Empire have always been in the hands of the royal family. The gold coins issued by Emperor Mavia have been the common base currency of the Coman Empire for decades. Suddenly a brand new one appeared that can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis. The currency was still issued by the outpost, which made her subconsciously feel a sense of crisis.
Prince Irina knows very well what the consequences will be once she hands over this kind of thing.
Losing control of Komen gold coins is a terrible thing!
But even though Irina thought very clearly, the smiling receptionist in front of her made it impossible for her to say no.
"But... I don't have enough gold coins in my hand."
Irina looked at the exquisite weapons produced by the industrial assembly lines and said helplessly: "I don't have them yet. After ascending to the throne, the south of the Coman Empire can no longer collect taxes, and the north is still controlled by Rono..."
Most of the money she has now comes from Lakeside City and Brest City. , most of which was spent on downsizing the legion in Brest City, and now there are only 50,000 gold coins left in hand.
If all the weapons and equipment in front of us were purchased to replace the legion weapons in Brest City, at the price of two gold coins for one, at least one hundred thousand Koman gold coins would be needed.
Prince Irina suddenly had the idea of giving up, but before she could say anything, the head of the weapons research institute had already walked out.
"Then just pay part of it in advance."
The person in charge signaled the receptionist to go ahead and said with a smile: "The receptionist must have already talked to you As I said, the Weapons Research Institute supports interest-free loans and installment payments. You can pay tens of thousands of gold coins first and use these things first.”
Irina has never done anything like this. experience, so he said in confusion: "The subsequent payment..."
"You can wait until the taxes are collected before talking about repaying this part of the money."
"Even if there are no taxes, you can still use labor to repay this part of the money - such as mobilizing part of Koeman People of the empire, help us with our work."
The person in charge smiled and gave various ending plans: "We will even be responsible for the food and drink of these people. They are also paying off the debts of the empire, killing two birds with one stone. . This should be a good solution, right?”
Prince Irina’s eyes lit up, she didn’t expect this method at all!
For the princess who was almost destitute at this time, the most indispensable thing may be people.
She nodded towards the person in charge and immediately agreed to purchase new equipment for the weapons research institute in this way.
The person in charge skillfully picked up a spear from the display stand in front, stroked the extremely smooth material of the handle, and said: "Think about it, Your Highness, this kind of material Weapons, compared with the weapons in the hands of the armies in the north, will form a crushing advantage."
"At that time, relying on such weapons alone, the 200,000 legions in Brest City will be enough. Kill everyone in the northern royal city of Selia." Princess Irina also drew a small long sword from the table. Although the sword was light, the sharpness of the sword was far beyond anything in the Coman Empire. A long sword.
She looked at the perfect shape of the sword and admired the technology mastered by the outpost.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to find out when I come here today."
The princess Irina suddenly asked the person in charge in standard Chinese: "Shika from Brest City General Lu, showed me a set of special armor given by you. I saw that the instruction manual said 'individual melee armor'."
"This thing should also be developed by your research institute. Right?"
After listening carefully, the person in charge smiled and nodded: "Hikaru actually heard that the institute provided some extraordinary weapons and equipment, and specially asked someone to come here to ask for them. "
"We once designed a set of armor for your warg leader Lange, called the Fighter Armor. After wearing it, the combat power of Lange's leader was greatly increased. He was probably General Hikaru. You must have come here after seeing this scene.”
The person in charge did not mean to deny it at all, and said with a smile: "General Hikaru said at that time that he also wanted to have a set of special armor like this, so we gave him a set of special armor that was still under testing. "
Prince Irina frowned slightly and said, "But that thing is a trial version, won't there be any problems?"
"There is no mature style, all of them. They are all trial versions. "
The person in charge explained: "The technology is very mature, and the trial version is very stable, and there is a high probability that it will be the final version."
Irina was stunned for a moment. , and immediately said: "In that case, can the outpost provide us with more armors like this?"
She had a sincere attitude and a sincere look on her face: "I think the effect of General Hikaru is very good after wearing it. If all my bodyguards wear such armor, or if all the soldiers of a certain legion wear such armor... ..."
The person in charge looked at Irina, smiled and shook his head.
He said to the princess Irina: "Your Highness, this kind of armor is not an ordinary long sword or spear, bow and arrow after all."
"This special kind The armor incorporates many of our new technologies. For your country, this technology is absolutely crushing. The funds required to manufacture a set of such armor are also very high, and I am afraid it is not available today. What you can afford at this stage.”
These are far stronger equipment than the legion’s standard new weapons, and the Weapons Research Institute had no intention of selling them from the beginning.
In fact, the technology of these individual melee armors has become mature for the weapons research institute, and the cost of manufacturing a set can basically be controlled at around 200,000 yuan.
But because the armor itself uses new materials, which contain a large amount of metal minerals from other worlds, the armor is extremely precious in both worlds.
Prince Irina glanced at the person in charge with some reluctance and said, "Can I still buy some in the way you said before?"
" That kind of installment or interest-free loan."
"The Coman Empire is full of people, just tell me how much labor it requires!"
