Chapter 633： Unarmed arms dealer (1/2)

Kenya is located in a tropical monsoon region, with plains along the coast, plenty of rain, highlands in the middle, and deserts in the north.

Because of its abundant mineral resources, it was included in the rule of the Austrian colonial government a few years ago, but only the coastal plain was developed, and other areas were ruled by name.

Kenya borders Somalia in the east, Tanzania in the south, Uganda in the west, Ethiopia and South Sudan on the north, and the Indian Ocean on the southeast.

Because of its unique geographical location, Kenya's local business and trade suddenly flourished after the Second Ethiopian War broke out.

A large amount of supplies flow into Ethiopia from here every day. The Ethiopian army can persist until now, and this trade line is also very successful.

Nuevo Sartu itself is just a colonial stronghold on the border between Kenya and Egypt. Thanks to the trade prosperity brought by the war, it has already become a small town.

An ordinary manor in the east of the city is the stronghold of the Austrian arms dealer Sanders.

At this moment, a young man broke in pantingly: ”Mr. St. Dells, the big deal is not good! It has just been reported that the British tried to use diplomacy to sever our trade with Ethiopia.”

The middle-aged man in a Chinese suit sank and immediately responded: ”Maus, say slowly, the sky has not fallen down.”

Calming his mood, Maos said: ”It is said that because the front line was blocked, the British army was unable to make breakthrough progress, and domestic public opinion was under too much pressure.

A week ago, the mean British sent a diplomatic note to the Vienna government asking us to cooperate in cutting off Ethiopia's trade line.

However, they are still relying on the guardian of free trade, and they have encountered a little trouble, and they want to break free trade, which is just ... ”

Sanders interrupted: ”Okay, I know what's going on. Sit down for a cup of coffee first. It's not that serious.”

Maos puzzled: ”Why are you? Mr. St. Dells, if the Vienna government agrees with the British, our trade will not continue!”

Money cuts like killing parents, the British cut off their trade lines and cut their money.

Now that the world has been divided up by the colonial empire, and the arms dealers are having a hard time, it was difficult to run into a big war, and they were not allowed to send a sum. Maos had enough reasons to be angry.

St. Dells patted Mauss shoulder: ”Calm down, Mauss. Remember that as a qualified arms dealer, you must keep calm at all times.

Things are not as bad as you think. Even if the Vienna government agrees to sever trade with Ethiopia, will our trade be broken? ”

Maos asked uncertainly: ”What do you mean-smuggling?”

Compared to normal trade, smuggling undoubtedly greatly increases the risk and is caught in a homeless property that is usually punished.

Sanders said coldly, ”Know what's going on, why do you need to say it? From Kenya to Somalia, our border with Ethiopia is so long. How can we block it?

Even if the government can do it, why should they help the British?

I guess the Vienna government can't wait to let this Ethiopia play for ten or eight years. As long as the colonial government will definitely release water, can the British still run to our territory to fight against smuggling?

In contrast, I worry more about the lack of money in the Ethiopian government. In the first two trades, they took out a large amount of physical objects as collateral, which has explained many problems. ”

Smuggling is just the basic operation of arms dealers. The real legitimate arms dealers are very few, usually with a government background.

If ordinary arms dealers would not smuggle, they would not survive the cruel international competition.

As a leader among arms dealers, Sunders naturally knows when to legally trade and when to smuggle.

Maos asked uncertainly: ”Mr. St. Dells, do you mean that our trade with Ethiopians is coming to an end?”

As a partner, Maos knew very well how difficult it was to find a purchasing partner.

If the Ethiopians run out of money, the business will naturally end. Arms dealers do not do charity, everything starts from interests.

Sundells nodded: ”From the current situation, it should be a few months. In theory, we can also accept Ethiopian land mortgages, but the risks are a bit high.”
