This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 784: Duke Nihak stabbed his friend at both ends

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!

"Dear Mr. Li Minghui, we are friends, right?" Li Minghui was drinking tea and watching a drama in the office of the Presidential Palace when he suddenly received such a strange "harassing phone call."

The reason why it was called a harassing call was not because of the identity of the caller, but because the guy called from an internal line and only asked such an inexplicable question.

This is no less than his pillow person suddenly sending a message during his working hours asking him if he still loves him.

"Of course...Did something happen during the exercise?"

He glanced at the schedule subconsciously. There seemed to be nothing worth mentioning today except for a landing exercise by the Alliance Burning Corps on the northern beach.

However, Fang Chang's next words were beyond his expectation.

"That's not true. The exercise went very smoothly, but I noticed that you plan to sell the empire a battleship similar to the Haiya. Although this call may be redundant, I still want to confirm the main gun. Question. The shelter is a rescue agency, and we don’t want the technology we discovered to be used

"Oh

On that matter," Li Minghui was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this, we have no interest in causing trouble for ourselves.

By the way, isn't this guy a member of the board of directors of Beidao Heavy Industries? How could he not know about such a large arms sales project?

Is it interesting to ask so clearly and so on?

Li Minghui reacted suddenly.

Could it be that the alliance manager is actually asking?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. After all, Mr. Fang Chang’s IQ was not such that he could not see such an obvious thing.

After all, this business cannot be decided unilaterally by the South China Sea Alliance. The authorities only helped to take the lead in negotiating this big order, and then took a share (tax) from the advance payment. When will the delivery be made? Doesn't it still depend on the shipyard to decide whether to deliver the goods or not and whether the cabin is leaking?

And if we take a step back and wait until the survivors of Borneo really unite, what if we deliver the goods to it?

At that time, the real headaches should be the enemies of the survivors, such as the Wilantes who are still dreaming of conquering the world, rather than the survivors in the River Valley Province and even the southern seas who have united.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed to an official tone, cleared his throat and said seriously.

"For us, the empire's reputation is between Torch and Charas, and we have no reason to deliver a piece of equipment to the current empire that may threaten ourselves. But from my standpoint, I It's hard to refuse the money that comes to your doorstep. We need money. It's that simple... In addition, say hello to your administrator for me. The survivors of the South Sea Alliance welcome him to the southern seas as a guest at any time."

Fang Chang probably guessed what he was misunderstanding, but he did not expose his misunderstanding. He just smiled lightly and said.

"I understand. I wish you a happy life. In addition, I will convey your greetings to Mr. Manager. He has always wanted to come here to visit, but I'm afraid he has to wait until after the war." The phone hung up.

Fang Chang picked up the newspaper with an exaggerated title with a smile, threw it back to the stunned mosquito, and then tapped the VM with his index finger to end the voice synchronization.

"The NPCs in this game are more realistic than you think, and they are much smarter... Of course, Duke Nihak is an exception. He is real in another sense."

Remembering that not all NPCs are smart, Fang Chang added a patch after this sentence and coughed lightly.

"Maybe it's a matter of education, maybe the slaves in Borneo spoiled him bad. In short, he can't understand that civilization is the product of games, but he understands civilization as something that is natural. He thought that no one could see his cleverness and regarded others as fools. In fact, everyone could see it, but he was too lazy to expose it and responded to him calmly... It was that simple.

He recorded a copy of the phone call.

Although he felt that the manager must know everything, in order to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings, he still took the initiative to report it.

After all, he really didn’t want to be called back for questioning by Xiaoyu. The mosquito was stunned for a while, and finally gave a heartfelt thumbs up.

"Awesome! So **** dirty..." "I'll just think you're complimenting me."

Fang Chang smiled faintly, took the mojito from the waiter, thanked him, and then continued slowly.

"To answer your previous question, I never thought about being their godfather. But the fact is as you can see...at least until their wings grow hard, they really have to call me. Dad."

As the managers declared that day, the alliance's currency can buy all goods, but no currency is allowed to trade honor and dignity.

Do you think you can do it again?

Then come and try it.

For Nihak, 30 billion Xilan coins and 50 million silver coins are nothing.

After all, even if he loses the Golden Gallon Port, he is still the distinguished Duke. At most, he only lacks a governor's hat.

However, the survivors in Huzhou and Baozhou, especially the workshop owners who bought Alliance brand sewing machines, as well as the day and long-term workers who stepped on the sewing machines and made them smoke, complained endlessly about being stabbed by the two knives. , both left and right waists were bleeding heavily.

The cloth market in Baihu City.

The usually bustling stalls were even more "busy" this time, with an empty stall crowded with middle-aged and young men wearing long and short shirts.

Some of them are the owners of nearby tailor shops, some are tailors who work for the master in the nearby village, and some are workers in the nearby garment factories.

These people are tall, short, fat and thin, and their skin color and temperament are more different than that of cows and humans. However, the expressions on their faces are surprisingly consistent, and there is no angry look in their eyes. The exception is written with the words "outrageous".

An old man who looked quite prestigious walked at the front, pointing to the white words written on the blackboard, his index finger and beard trembling with anger.

"One kilogram of cotton cloth fifty silan?! Are you crazy about money?!"

Seeing someone coming forward, the people behind also started shouting. "That's right!"

"Too much!

"Everyone is open for business, how can you be so unreasonable!"

The guy sitting behind the stall had an indifferent expression on his face. He glanced sideways at the old man who ran a tailor shop, then looked at the group of booing guys behind him, and said impatiently.

"Reasonable? Hey, if you think fifty is too expensive today, I'll see what you say when it goes up to sixty tomorrow. It's the price, do you want it or not?"

The people gathered around the stall were in an uproar when they heard this. However, the guy sitting behind the stall was not afraid at all and instead picked his earwax.

Two burly men stood next to the stall, like two ferocious tigers, glaring so hard that the survivors dared not say anything.

Baihu City is the largest settlement in Huzhou, and the cloth market located in Baihu City is the largest cloth trading market in the entire Huzhou. How can you open a business here without having anything to do with the men of the Tiger Army?

I want to eat shit!

But it is strange to say that the original price of this cloth was not so exaggerated. One kilogram of cotton only costs 10 to 15 celans. When processed into cotton cloth, doubled it costs 20 to 30 celans, and the price is 16 to 24 gallons. Sold to merchants in Golden Gallon Port, and occasionally settled in silver coins. That is, one kilogram of cotton cloth ~ silver coins.

The textile industry was the first industry to flow into Huzhou from Jingallan Port, and Huzhou's high-quality and cheap cotton fabrics also supported half of the prosperity of Jingallan Port's export trade.

However, I don’t know what happened recently. A large group of businessmen suddenly rushed over from Jingallang Port. Xilan coins were stuffed into his boss’s hands one sack after another. Not only did they eat up the textile factory’s inventory, they even Even orders for next year have been booked.

Those guys are like crazy, as if the money in their hands is not their own money, but obtained through some kind of bargain.

Although the survivors of Huzhou have the inherent impression that the merchants of Jingallang Port are extremely rich, they were not so crazy in the past.

There is an unwritten but recognized exchange rate between gallons and celan coins. Generally, 4 gallons are exchanged for 5 celan coins.

These people also exchange their Xilan dollars in gallons, unless they get a cheaper exchange rate from a bank or elsewhere.

He was just a clerk, so he naturally didn't know where those merchants got so many Xilan coins. He only heard that the money was indeed issued by the royal family.

The merchants were afraid that they would not accept it, so they even brought a voucher issued by the lending bank, which was enough to prove that the money was clean and sound.

Although it was strange, the door-to-door business had to be done, so the inventory of the entire textile factory in Huzhou was bought out.

Generally speaking, most of the cloth flowing into the cloth market from textile factories is the leftover bulk goods picked up by garment factories, but this time the major textile factories were squeezed out by the flood of Xilan coins. Naturally, the cloth circulating in the market can only rise accordingly.

The people crowded in front of the stall were noisy and pushed, but in the end no one dared to act wild on the warlord's territory, so they could only swallow their breath.

Some of the servants who made clothes for the master paid the money readily. Anyway, what they spent was not their own money, and their master was not short of money.

There were also some small shopkeepers who counted on their fingers and found that buying materials at this price and making clothes would be a loss, so they left cursing.

There were also some people who heard that cloth prices were going to rise and thought about speculating, so they quickly took out Xilan coins and bought them first.

More residents passing by were talking about whether something big happened again in Mammoth City. Some people even spread the news of Alaya's defeat in a panic, saying that the shrouds and bandages on the front line were in short supply, so the price of these cloths went up to the sky.

However, this analysis seems too one-sided.

After all, not only the price of cloth, but also sugar cane, sugar, soybeans, corn and other messy things are all rising sharply.

Some people cursed the Yue people, thinking that the unclean blood had cursed the destiny of the empire. Only by using their blood to draw a large formation could the curse be lifted.

Some people also cursed the merchants in Jingallang Port. After all, those who took advantage of the situation were indeed unscrupulous, and the origin of this Xilan coin must be disgraceful.

Some knowledgeable people inexplicably cursed Chu Guang, the alliance manager who was commanding from the front line of Haiya Province.

The reason why I say knowledgeable is because people who haven’t read a few second-hand newspapers may not necessarily know the name of the league manager.

This is the bitterness of being in a cocoon. Due to the lack of channels for obtaining information, sometimes when I get slapped, I only see the slap, but I don’t know where the slap landed.

I don’t even know where the slap came from. On the other side, the suburbs of White Tiger City.

Hundreds of pedal sewing machines are packed into the factory building of more than ten acres, and the sound of "lululu" keeps ringing in the factory.

This garment factory named "Farhan" was opened by a Tiger tribe businessman named Farhan. It is not only the largest garment factory in the entire White Tiger City, but also the largest garment factory in the entire Tiger State. The earliest factory.

Two months ago, Captain Jhawan, the supreme commander of the Tiger Army, spent a small amount of money to buy this factory. Then he invested an additional 10 million gallons and purchased a batch from Golden Gallon Port. equipment, expanding the factory's production scale.

And this factory did not live up to General Jha's expectations.

One-fifth of the towels, curtains, beddings, and shirts used by residents of Golden Gallen Port today are produced here.

The tiger businessman who sold the factory was probably filled with regret.

The entire factory is like a money printing machine, continuously supplying cash milk to the Tiger Army, so that today's Tiger Army, like the defenders of Golden Gallen Port, has been replaced by LD with a full flavor of the alliance. —47, that equipment is much better than that of the Gray Wolf Army.

While the long-term workers were stepping on their sewing machines so hard that they wanted to fly up, the accountant in charge was also pressing the calculator quickly and calculating the accounts meticulously in the ledger.

Although the export of goods from Huzhou to Jingallan Port earns gallons, that is, foreign exchange, these gallons cannot be directly used in Huzhou.

Whether it is dinars, silver coins or gallons, they all need to be "settled" before they can be truly deposited into the factory's bank or bank account in Baihu City.

After all, the Empire is not the South Sea Alliance where the "currency collapsed". Neither gallons nor silver coins can be circulated directly within the Empire in a legal sense. At most, they can only be used privately. Factories can use their foreign exchange balances to purchase equipment from the Golden Gallon Port, but they must convert gallons into Xilan coins to purchase raw materials within the empire and pay workers.

Therefore, a routine task that the accounting office has to do every month is to compare the bank's remittance records to confirm which part of the gallons will be settled in foreign exchange and which part of the gallons will be used to purchase equipment or pay for external technicians.

The banks in Baihu City are relatively loose on foreign exchange management, mainly because the warlords don't know much about this stuff, so they usually leave it to the people below to manage it.

The people below don’t understand either, so they just copy the model of Golden Gallon Port and see what those who got fat first do, and they do what they do.

It is precisely because of this that general property owners can decide by themselves when to settle foreign exchange and how much to settle, without having to report to the bank if they want to use silver coins.

However, this month is quite strange.

First, the payment received by the garment factory was forcibly settled into Xilan coins according to the exchange rate last month, and then the profit on the ledger was reduced from more than 10 million Xilan coins at the beginning of the month to minus 200 Wan, but this old man who was in charge of accounts was shocked.

The first one is actually nothing. This garment factory is the property of the warlords, and the foreign exchange bank is also opened by the military lords in Huzhou. He didn't bother to care about those masters who were left-handed and right-handed. Anyway, no matter which pocket the money was in, it belonged to the master, as long as he knew where it went.

It is those small workshops that are really worried. After all, those gallons and even silver coins that have not yet been settled in the bank are earned by themselves. The bank in White Tiger City used this trick to confiscate the silver coins in their accounts. It is true. I don't want any credibility at all.

However, it was the second problem that cost him his life. Why are the profits gone?

"It's weird...where's the money?"

Why do we become poorer as we become more productive?

The old man looked confused, smeared his index finger with saliva, forced himself to calmly flip through the account book in his hand, and finally found clues in the raw materials.

In just one month, the price of cotton has doubled, and even linen, the most stable price, has increased by 80%.

The profit in the first half of the month was directly swallowed up by the increase in raw material prices in the second half of the month. No wonder he was so busy that he lost two million Xilan coins by the end of the month.

This is no small matter.

At any rate, we made a little profit in the first half of the month, but after all, we only lost a little bit.

If this trend continues, they will probably lose 20 million Xilan coins next month. This loss will make them bankrupt in half a year at most!

The accountant was sweating profusely and was about to get up and go to the factory director. At this time, the foreman on duty suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. He looked at him sitting behind the desk and said cautiously.

"Sir... the workers are clamoring for wages. Do you think you can pay them first?"

In fact, it was not a big deal to be in arrears with wages for a week or two. Those free people who worked as long-term workers were quite able to endure hardships and were very considerate of the master.

However, I don’t know what happened recently. Except for the red soil, the price of the entire Baihu City has not increased, and even the soybean meal for livestock has increased.

The accountant's expression froze, he just moved his chair and sat back down, glaring at the foreman with a dark face.

“I haven’t settled my account yet, why are you urging me!

The foreman said with a grimace.

"Master, I'm not rushing you. I'm not in a hurry. It's mainly those who are doing the work who are anxious.

The accountant waved his pen impatiently, as if he was still busy.

"Let them go to work first. A family as big as General Jha's will cost them so little money? If you like to work, get out if you don't. Don't bother me to count the money."

The foreman looked aggrieved and complained in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything more and could only lower his head and walk out of the office.

For a whole day, the entire Baihu City seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. From the cloth market that did small business to the factory that did big business, there was a mourning.

The people who worked were busy from morning to night, and the people who settled accounts were busy from night to morning, but no one saw where the Xilan coins went.

Except for farmers who sell cotton, sugar cane and other cash crops and the nobles in the manors.

They who are in the upstream or source of the industrial chain are the least affected, and can even be said to be the biggest beneficiaries of this round of "active inflation."

Of course, this is only now.

Soon they will find that the fertilizer originally sold for 100 Xilan coins will double or triple, and the art and makeup purchased by the second wife will also increase several times.

Because these things have to be imported from Golden Gallon Port with foreign exchange for the time being.

Beyond the plantations and further down were the weavers and sugar producers. These large factories that are relatively upstream are okay, as they can pass part of the costs to the weaving and food processing industries further downstream.

However, this has hurt the downstream industries. The further down you go, the more you can feel the biting cold.

Especially for those small shopkeepers who need to use silver coins to expand production and want to compete with merchants in Golden Gallon Port for foreign trade orders, the pain will be particularly long.

After all, the loan of 30 billion silver coins is only the first move made by Duke Nihak from his "own palace". The advance payment of 50 million silver coins for the purchase of a ship is the most severe move. Huzhou and Baozhou will be asked to pay back the loan directly. Small shopkeepers in the primitive accumulation stage have been busy for half a year in vain.

Nihak's charity directly emptied the foreign reserves of the Imperial Royal Mint, and it is estimated that there will be a monthly expenditure of 10 million silver coins.

The Imperial Royal Mint could not produce enough silver coins, so it had to tighten the faucet to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, reducing the quotas for banks and banks along the Yongliu River in the Empire to exchange Xilan coins for silver coins.

The banks in Baihu City couldn't exchange Xilan coins for silver coins, and they couldn't even meet the exchange needs of the warlord's own factory, let alone the small workshops and shopkeepers in Huzhou.

Not only did they close the channels for these little sparrows to exchange silver coins, they also confiscated the silver coins in their pockets and forcibly exchanged them for Xilan coins.

Some small workshops with a little bit of technology were about to evolve into factories, but before they could compete with the factories in Golden Gallen Port or be picked off by warlords, they exploded on the spot.

A handful of bankrupt operators have set their sights on the distant Mammoth State. They heard that like Golden Gallon Port, it is issuing its own currency and welcomes merchants from all over to invest.

If you come with equipment, you can use the equipment as collateral to get a loan with very low interest rates.

You can even borrow silver coins.

Although it is also the territory of the warlord, the place also has its own advantages. One is that it is closer to Silver Moon Bay, and the other is that there is a parish of Silver Moon Church.

Those guys who like cats not only open churches in their parishes, they also open banks.

Even though there are uncertainties caused by the war in Mammoth State, and there have just been floods there, it is really good to be able to use equipment as collateral to get a loan of silver coins.

In the final analysis, the foundation of the empire is still too thin.

It has only been a few months since the embargo was lifted. If you save up your wealth for decades and then work hard, it may not explode so quickly.

Even if it is to explode, it will take ten or twenty years to explode slowly.

The impact on the ecology of the industrial chain is the same, and so is the turbulence of the "food chain".

Big fish eat small fish when hungry, and small fish eat shrimp when hungry. In the end, it is the microorganisms and mayflies that suffer.

At least the serfs could drink soup with their master, but the free people working in the factories couldn't find a place to farm if they wanted to go back.

The red soil that was almost unsalable started to sell well again, and there were more people picking up soil in the empty wilderness.

They are actually lucky.

Even the residents of Jingallang Port standing at the end of Yongliu River may not know what the situation is like in other states besides Tiger State and Leopard State.

However, all of this has no impact on the beautiful South China Sea Alliance.

The generous Grand Duke Nihak became the most "hot" figure in the North Island.

Beidao's "Daily Survivor", which was just opened not long ago, wrote a separate column for him, praising the 30 billion in donations and calling him a thrifty person who has been living on the boat and refused to come off. example.

Lee Minghui called him "the future of Borneo", but later, due to protests from the ID holder himself, he was changed to General McClun of Borneo when it was published in the newspaper.

It is impossible for the Weiland people to come to the far east to trouble him for such nonsense.

Moreover, the survivors of Borneo are extremely obsessed with the Velant people, and this flattery is even louder than the previous one.

People always want to be famous for a while before being buried, and the Grand Duke of the Empire is no exception.

Nihak was extremely happy every day during this period, his face was as rosy as if he had been injected with blood, and he was no longer afraid even when he occasionally encountered those guys who had captured him.

Although winter has just begun to show its tail, he feels that spring has come together with himself and the empire.

While the warlords of Huzhou and Leopard State were scratching their heads in confusion, wondering where their little money had gone to Feite Niang, the warlords who were far away on the front line of Mammoth State were serving the empire. Alaya also looked confused.

However, the latter was not because he lost money, but because his subordinates were beaten so dizzy by the elusive guerrillas that they could not find their way around.

The ferocious firepower made him think that the alliance was personally dead!

It's not just firepower.

The number of the Resistance Army is also increasing, the more they fight, the more energetic they become, and the more they fight, the more cunning they become.

At first, they only fought guerrillas on the state border of Mammoth State. Later, guerrillas also began to appear in Mazhou and Bird Island.

This group of people specifically focused on the supply lines of the Gray Wolf Army, so that the transportation teams escorting supplies did not dare to walk at night, let alone fly the royal double sword flag.

What's even worse is that his spies also discovered that the rebels had built a deep-water port in Mammoth City and a railway connecting the deep-water port.

After hearing this, Alaya almost vomited blood out of anger. Where did these idiots get the steel and cement? ! Is it also a gift from the alliance?

Is that **** Lacy the illegitimate son of the alliance manager? !

Just when he was angry, his confidant handed him another secret letter, saying that it was picked up by patrolling soldiers on the front line.

To General Alaya:

With the talents of a general, you can break the earth and seal the king, so why waste your good years for a dying empire?

Now that the empire is in a dead end, Wu Tuo is responsible for everything.

If you defect to me, I will not only let you live, but also make you the captain of the resistance army. If you don't believe me, you can choose a state and go there on your own. As long as you don't touch me, I guarantee that my subordinates will not step into your territory.

Alaya unfolded the letter and saw that his teeth were clenching. "This bitch!"

But I won a few games by luck, so I am so arrogant!

He crushed the letter into a ball and smashed it onto the candlestick, but he didn't want to knock the candlestick over and almost burned down the command tent.

Huo Huo was saved, but people in the Gray Wolf Army were in panic.

More and more incomprehensible confusion is tormenting everyone in the empire from the front lines to the rear. In contrast, there are increasingly passionate shouts in the daily reports of survivors in Golden Gallen Harbor.

A wave of unprecedented magnitude and scale is brewing amidst the crowds of people. It is an energy more powerful than nuclear weapons.

That is the energy of progress!

Even Jodu, who once persuaded Lacy to stay, had to admit after seeing the news in the newspaper that maybe he really made a mistake this time.

The guy who can stand up when everyone is burying their heads and not daring to breathe loudly, the guy who dares to reach for a gun when everyone is submissive and endures the oppression, how can he be a guy with nothing else? A reckless man?

Just like what the alliance officers said when they laughed at them - all the princes cry day and night, can they curse the witch to death?

In the end, he was the only one who stood up.

Maybe I was too demanding on him.

Every time in the dead of night, Jodu couldn't help but think about this, and regretted not being able to have a drink with him when he practiced it.

The province of four million square kilometers is already in a precarious state.

But just before that storm finally came, a storm that was more intense and affected a wider area came first.

After two months of preparation, the horn of the southern front attack finally sounded again!
