v2 Chapter 151： Poor military department (1/2)

”This...” Major McKelly opened his mouth, and for a long time he took a long breath and smiled bitterly: ”Xu Huichang, this price... is too expensive...”

”Is it expensive?” Xu also shook his head. ”Major, I thought that after you read the drawings, you should be very clear about the power of this magic trebuchet. With such a powerful power, do you think this magic trebuchet might be cheap?”

”I know this, but...” Maiconli's face was full of helpless smiles. ”This price is still too high. I don't want you to say that our logistics department's budget for this year is less than 300,000 gold coins, and less than 100,000 of them are used in military equipment. If it is not with your new flying business association Cooperating to build an arsenal, the cost of supplying armor weapons has dropped several times, so I can't even get more than one copper plate.”

Xu also could not help but shook his head, thinking that the Kingdom of Lampari was really poor. The annual financial income was less than two million gold coins. The military expenses were only 300,000 gold coins. It was simply pitiful.

So little money is enough to ensure that the daily expenses of the military are already stretched. It is no wonder that Major Macquarie will spit up every time he sees himself.

However, sympathy is sympathy, and this price is not a copper coin.

”Major, although I want to help you, the cost of this magic trebuchet is too high. If you don't say it, it takes more than three tons of steel to make a magic trebuchet. And this new steel The sales price of our chamber of commerce is up to 100 gold coins per ton. In addition to the material cost, labor costs are a big expense, and the most important thing is the research and development expenses. In order to develop this magic trebuchet. Our Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute The magicians, along with the Camilla Grand Sorcerer, and the magical mechanical engineers at the Magic Machine Tool R&D workshop have spent more than two months on this day, forgetting to eat and sleep every day, even working overnight. Think... Is the price of one thousand gold coins high?”

”It is not high.” Major McKelly nodded and sighed: ”But Xu is the president. The problem is that our military department does not have so much money. With the remaining budget this year, the military is probably the most. It’s good to buy only three.”

”If you want to buy it, you don't have to spend gold coins...” Xu also whispered something.

Major McKelly took a look at Xu Yi and his expression was complicated.

After thinking for a while. He waved his hand: ”Don't say this first. Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait until your Chamber of Commerce takes out the real thing and let the big people on the top see the actual effect before they really feel tempted. We are discussing other things now. It’s still too early.”

Seeing that Major McKelly did not intend to talk deeply, Xu also stopped this topic with interest.

Of course, apart from opening this topic, Xu also had a more important purpose for this trip. After seeing Major Macquarie carefully collect the drawings, Xu also extended his hand directly to him.

”Major, I promised that you have done it, then what do you promise me?”

”follow me.”

Major McKelly waved to Xu. Take him out of the office and go straight to the training ground outside. Stretching his hand and waving a straight man outside the training field.

The big man ran over and made a clean and negligent ceremony to Major Macquarie. He watched Major Macquarie, and even his eyes were not squinting at Xu.

Look at his awkward physique, straight posture, perseverance and the deep scars on the exposed skin, obviously it should be a veteran of the battlefield.

”Come, Xu Huichang, I will introduce you to him. His name is Hart. He is a veteran who has just retired this year. Since the army, Hart has been fighting **** the northern battlefield and the Sark kingdom. The combat experience is absolutely Enriched. Most importantly, he also served as an instructor of the Northern Army, and he has also led a group of brothers. If he is to be the captain of your Chamber of Commerce Guard, it is definitely the most suitable candidate.” Maiconli The major pointed to the big man.

When he heard Major Macquarie, Hart turned his head and looked at Xu Yi.

The two men just slammed together, and Xu also suddenly numb the scalp, and a murderous murderous smothered his face, almost making him a goose bump.

Xu also raised his eyes and took a deep breath, which barely calmed himself down and tried to face Hart as much as possible.

Hart's eyes were extraordinarily bright, and Xu did not avoid his own eyes. He seemed to be slightly stunned, and then his face passed a smile of appreciation.

”You are the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?” Hart took the initiative to reach out. ”It’s a lot better than I expected.”

Xu also reached out and shook his hand. He smiled and asked: ”What should I look like in your imagination?”

”In my imagination, businessmen are garbage that only has money in their eyes!” Hart was unceremonious. ”If it is not for the major to find me, and to assure me that you are not the same as other businessmen, I will not come to see you at all.”

Major McKelly suddenly smiled awkwardly: ”Hou Hui, Hart is this character, you don't have to know him.”

Xu Yi haha ​​smiled: ”It doesn't matter, I like this straightness. If a soldier like Hart can be the captain of our Chamber of Commerce Guard, I believe that no one will dare to take the initiative to provoke our Chamber of Commerce.”

Since both Xu Yi and Hart are satisfied, this meeting is a success.

Under the witness of Major McKelly, Xu also signed an agreement with Hart to hire him to serve as the captain of the new Flyer Guard.

In addition to Hart, Major McKelly also recruited Xu to recruit a total of 200 retired veterans similar to Hart.
