Chapter 108(1/2)
108
"Then isn't it invincible?" Yuna looked at Tang Long and asked worriedly. Although she had never commanded the warship, just thinking that this warship that was not afraid of fighting appeared in front of her, a chill surged in her heart, so she hoped that Tang Long could find a solution.
Tang Long didn't hear Yuna's question because he was frowning and muttering: "Strange, the file warship has the thickness and sudden explosion. The thickness is easy to solve, but the engine that can instantly increase explosive power is not so easy to solve! The last time the honeycomb warship was just similar in appearance. In addition to installing a driving engine, the warship also has several more energy transmission engines to ensure the power of the volley of ten thousand cannons. It is not like the game set only one engine. Is this the same thing for the warship this time? No! Installing a few more engines cannot generate extremely powerful instant explosive power. Could it be that the mysterious arms manufacturer really developed that kind of engine?"
Seeing Tang Long stunned, Yuna couldn't help but push Tang Long and ask her question again. Tang Long, who was not attentive, said casually: "It is not invincible, it can only exert a huge threat when the warships are in close combat."
As soon as Shari heard this, she immediately asked, "There is any way to solve this kind of warship?"
Tang Long still said casually: "It's very simple. If you don't get close to them, just lay mines around them. Then hide in the distance and concentrate firepower to aim at a place to shoot continuously, and shoot it through. If you get close to them, you'll be able to lose several warships, aim at their horses, that is, attack at the engine. As long as they can't move, do they steam or brais them after the war is over, then it's up to you. There are many other ways, such as directly bombing them with missiles, shaking the drivers inside them, or blowing them onto the planet and jamming it with stones. Or blowing off the computer probes installed in the gaps of their files, making them blind."
Hearing that there were so many ways to solve this kind of file warship, the girls laughed happily. Yuna was also in a mood to laugh and said, "Can electromagnetic waves interfere with them?"
"No, their thick ships can completely block any electromagnetic waves." Tang Long shook his head and said this, and suddenly said to Ling Li: "Ling Li, you must increase the information collection of Caesar's house to see if you can find out who the person who sold these mysterious warships to the Caesar's house was."
Li nodded suddenly, and of course she knew the importance of this information. It seems that the installation of spy satellites must be taken as soon as possible.
"By the way, Sari, you will take the troops out to the nearby star fields of Ulan, Winter, and Oud, and lay me a business channel in each place. At the same time, these three channels will arrange several warships to patrol me." Tang Long said to Sari.
"Okay, but will this cause disgust among these forces?" Shari asked with some concern.
"No matter whether they are disgusted, anyway, those mines are spread within our sphere of influence, so it's not their turn to say three or four." Tang Long said without waiting for Sari to nod, then turned to Yuna and asked, "Yuna, are the three business channels enough? If not enough, you can make Sari get a few more."
Hearing Tang Long's words, Yuna sighed and said, "Lord, the caravans that arrived on our planet by time did not come, and several caravans left halfway. Now the goods we are waiting to transport are piled up with the port. You must know that the supplies in our territory alone require more than ten advanced transport ships to transport a day, let alone the cargo volume of the entire planet now."
"What's going on? Why are those caravans not coming? Is our goods of too poor quality or too high prices?" Tang Long asked in surprise.
Yuna said: "I can't guarantee the quality of other places, but the goods in our original territory are of the best quality and the price is very favorable. For example, fresh frozen beef, only 10,000 Wulai coins per ton, and a standard live cattle only 10,000 Wulai coins, which is several times lower than the price in other places!"
"Since our items are so good in quality and price ratio, why don't those caravans trade with us?" Tang Long asked in confusion.
"I don't know what's going on. Those merchants didn't say anything, just said they wouldn't trade with us." Yuna shook her head helplessly. When she saw Tang Long looking at her, she shook her head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, our intelligence department has not received any information."
"If the goods cannot be sold, the people will have no income, and we will have no taxes!" Tang Long stood up and muttered while walking back and forth. Suddenly, Tang Long stopped and asked Yuna, "Can we form a caravan ourselves? If possible, we might as well buy the people's goods and then transport them out and sell them."
Yuna said in a hint of embarrassment: "Yes, but we have no trade routes or sales locations. After all, the * caravans came to sell goods in the past."
Tang Long said excitedly: "If you don't, just go find it yourself and create it yourself! And we can also collect galaxy information along the way!" Hearing this, Ling Li's gaze immediately lit up, and she immediately agreed, and the others nodded in recognition of Tang Long's plan.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Tang Long immediately ordered: "Sari, you can transfer out advanced transport ships and transform them into armed merchant ships! How long will it take?"
After thinking for a while, Sari said: "The structure of advanced transport ships and merchant ships is very similar, just add a refrigeration system and remove some small weapons warehouses. If everyone's hands are placed in this regard, it can be completed in just two days."
Tang Long clapped his hands and said: "The spy satellite should be placed in a place on the ship that is not visible, so that when you are looking for trade routes, you can place satellites by the way. Also, find a group of people who are good at observing, can speak well and drink. There will be many social engagements in business. At the same time, you need to transform a cabin transport ship member mecha soldiers that can be accommodated for 60 people. Ling Li, please look online to see who needs our goods in the nearby countries. I will come to my door." Tang Long said this and turned his head to Yuna and said, "See if there is a way to register a trading company in Wulai Country. With this sign, it should be no problem to enter and exit the sphere of influence of the turbulent galaxy."
"Applying for a company in Wulai Country is very simple. Just fill in the trade type and company size, and then compare the locals in Wulai Country to pay an extra foreign registration fee. You can register immediately now." Yuna said and walked towards Ling Li's computer desk, and Tang Long and others surrounded him with interest.
After Yuna opened the computer and entered the cosmic banking system, she chose Wulaiguo in the national category, then chose Wulaiguo's commercial services, and finally entered the company's project.
Yuna didn't ask the person involved, and directly filled in Tang Long's name in the column of the applicant's name. Then she pushed Tang Long's head to the camera to take a picture, entered it into the column of the company's legal person's photo, and then began to fabricate the address name. When she was about to fill in the company's name, Yuna asked Tang Long: "What is the company name?"
"The main product of our planet is Niu, so it is called Niu Niu Star Trading Infinity." Tang Long said after thinking for a while.
When everyone was frowning at the name "Niu Niu", Yuna shouted in surprise: "Infinite? Lord, those who are generally called Infinite Company are always fucked by everything! You may cause a lot of trouble if you choose this company name."
"What's the trouble? Anyway, we sell beef for commercial trade, espionage, and we will buy arms if we have the opportunity. Of course, the name of the unlimited trading company must match us. Is it not allowed for ordinary people to apply for such a company name?" Tang Long asked in confusion.
Yuna shook her head and said nothing, and continued to fill in the false information in the registration column below. When it was time to choose the company size, Yuna had not yet asked, and Tang Long, who had been staring at him, shouted: "Choose a special level, this name is majestic!"
Yuna sighed helplessly, and after clicking the confirmation button, the subtitles of the 1 billion Wulai coins for registration appeared on the screen. Tang Long took out the bank card and handed it to Yuna, and asked curiously: "Why do you need so much? I remember that the registration fee for registering a large company in Wanluo Federation is up to 10 million Luo coins."
Yuna pointed to the text on the screen and said: "Lord, haven't you read the commentary below? The registration amount of the special scale is 500 million Wulai coins, and the registration of foreigners will double." After saying that, she shook Tang Long's bank card and asked: "Do you transfer money?"
Looking at foreigners, I despise you Wu Laiguo! Transfer money!" Tang Long gritted his teeth and pointed his head to the camera that just now, preparing to let the banking system perform certification scan.
A few bbs from the computer, the Tanglong card was missing 1 billion Wulai coins. After seeing the screen prompts that the magnetic card is needed to record it, Ling Li took out a blank electronic magnetic card and handed it to Yuna. Yuna gave the electronic magnetic card to the computer, clicked the registration button, and pulled out the electronic magnetic card and threw it to Tanglong and said, "This is your business certificate."
Tang Long and others looked at the card in Tang Long's hand in amazement, and then asked in unison: "That's so simple?"
Yuna curled her lips: "It's that simple, otherwise I would think it's so difficult. Don't be misled by the knowledge in the book. Wu Laiguo almost just needs to pay for the company to register for money in order to increase his taxes, and there is no review at all."
"Charge taxes? How do they collect the money we earn from doing business? Will it deduct it from the bank card?" Tang Long asked in surprise.
Yuna smiled and said, "For foreigners, they don't charge taxes. But they will ask you to pay as much as your registration fee every year to compensate for the taxes, otherwise your business license will be revoked."
But it's so bad! If I hadn't used the name of Wulai Kingdom to enter and exit the Wuchao Galaxy, I wouldn't have any business license!" Tang Long said angrily, banging the business license.
"Ling Li, I'll leave the business information to you. In the next few days, it's best to get a galaxy map. If we can't do it, we have to go back to Wanluo Federation to do business." Hearing Tang Long's words, Ling Li nodded with a serious expression.
"Sari, let's go quickly and transform those transport ships." Tang Long said, then took Sari's hand and ran away quickly.
Yuna was stunned for a while, and then asked Ling Li, "Master, don't he want to lead the team to do business in person, right?"
Ling Li nodded and said, "According to his personality, it is very likely that he will do this."
"Are you wrong? This planet has just been occupied! How does it work if he leaves? No! I have to stop him!" Yuna said angrily and ran away.
Ling Li shrugged helplessly when she saw the shaking gate, and then began to think. Now foreign merchants refused to enter Zhongzhou Star and could not buy galaxy maps from them. Why didn’t she notice this at the beginning? She only expects that local merchants will have galaxy maps with more planets than those in the central computer. Thinking of this, Ling Li immediately shouted: "Come here, call the presidents of various chambers of commerce for me!"
"What? Zhongzhou Star is mined in the star field near our side and has a patrol boat?!" Ulan, Oud and Winter's leadership received this report at the same time. People on different planets reacted differently. Ulan and Oud, two people who were ambitious about Zhongzhou Star, subconsciously guessed whether Tang Long had his intentions. After having this idea, they all slowed down their plan to consolidate the army and were ready to see the situation before making a decision. As for the reaction of Winter's leadership, they immediately followed the previous habits - to hold a meeting to discuss.
In the parliamentary lobby of the Winter Republic Parliament Building, sitting on the rostrum of the parliament was an old man with old spots on his face. Although he looked inconspicuous, he was the speaker of the Winter Parliament and the president of the Winter Republic. He first knocked on the table with a small wooden hammer, so that the MPs who were noisy like vegetable market vendors fighting for a small profit. Then he stared at the MPs present and glanced at the MPs present, saying: "What do you have any opinions on the matter of Starblade in Zhongzhou?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young congressman sitting directly opposite him immediately stood up and said, "We should protest to Zhongzhouxing! Protest their invasion!"
The young MP wanted to continue to say something. A young MP on the left side of the lobby immediately stood up and shouted: "Oppose! They are just laying mines within the sphere of influence of Zhongzhou Star and have not entered our sphere of influence, so we cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other forces against the will of democracy!"
The MP had finished speaking, and another MP stood up on the right side of the lobby and shouted: "We are not the time to discuss these things. Because we should discuss the navigation safety of the caravans, I propose to protest to Zhongzhou Star against Zhongzhou Star's undemocratic practices and let them open trade channels to allow caravans to interact with each other!"
The priest is a dictator! As a democratic country, we cannot discuss any issues with the dictator!” Another MP stood up and shouted.
In this way, one MP stood up to refute as soon as he finished speaking, and then the refuted person began to refute again. In a short while, almost all MPs stood up and quarreled, causing the originally quiet parliament to start chaotic again.
The old congressmen on the rostrum seemed to be accustomed to such things, and did not stop or pay attention to them at all, but did their own things. They either chatted and laughed with the people around them, or drank tea and read newspapers. What's even more outrageous is that many people closed their eyes on the back of the chair to rest, and the elder speaker was one of these people.
After about several hours, the MPs were tired and sat down to rest. The speaker opened his eyes and grabbed the gavel and knocked it, and then said, "Because this issue requires a long discussion, today's parliament will be temporarily over. I hope that all the MPs will enter the venue to participate in the discussion on time tomorrow." After that, as the MPs stood up and sent a group of old MPs away. And when the old MPs left, the young MPs immediately whistled and left in groups. Where were they going? You will know when you look at the golf bags, tennis rackets and those beautiful women in their cars.
Tang Long, wearing a generous suit and holding a large stack of text materials in his hand, looked excitedly at the snow-white transport ship in front of him with the words "Niu Niu Star Trade Infinity" painted in front of him, turned his head and asked Yuna, "Are you loaded?"
Yuna, who originally wanted to persuade Tang Long not to engage in trade in person, but was defeated by Tang Long for countless reasons, said helplessly: "They are all loaded with frozen fish, frozen mutton, frozen chicken, duck, frozen pork, frozen beef, and detailed meat grades and price lists in various places are available in the computer."
Yuna said this, looking at Tang Long with a worried expression and asked, "Do you really don't need to bring a few warships to guard?"
Tang Long smiled and said, "Don't you be so nervous. Didn't the retainers say that the Wuluo Galaxy is chaotic, but it is the only galaxy without pirates? Haha, even if you encounter pirates, they believe they will not shoot guns and destroy us as soon as they see us, right? Each of our ships is equipped with 50 mecha soldiers. As long as the pirates dare to board the ship and pick out elites from the millions of troops, they can definitely make the pirates come and go! Besides, pirates may not rob the merchant ships, after all, they also need merchants to purchase and sell goods."
After hearing this, Yuna looked at Tang Long quietly, and after a while, she said with concern: "If you encounter pirates, please be sure to protect yourself." As she said that, she reached out to tidy up Tang Long's tie.
Tang Long was stunned for a moment, but quickly looked at Yuna and said gratefully: "Thank you, I will."
When Tang Long looked at it, Yuna suddenly remembered something and smiled: "By the way, Ling Li asked you to collect military intelligence from the planet, and I asked you to collect commercial intelligence. In order to send spy satellites, these transport ships have specially modified several satellite perforations, and each ship has spy satellites. Moreover, the self-defense artillery of these transport ships has increased their firepower and can fight with low-level patrol boats. Also, our Zhongzhou Star warehouse can only put a week's output, and I hope you can contact customers as soon as possible. If our edible materials are stored for too long, I believe you know how much damage it will cause."
"Please ensure that the task is completed!" Tang Long saluted Yuna with a smile, and then said, "Then I'll go out." As he said that, he wanted to walk towards the transport ship.
Yuna grabbed Tang Long and kissed Tang Long on the forehead and said, "Good luck!"
Don’t be polite if there is only the relatives and friends of the Wanluo Federation. Tang Long was not uncomfortable. After smiling at Yuna, he ran to the nearest transport ship. Yuna stood up in place and watched Tang Long’s figure enter the transport ship.
Tang Long, who boarded the transport ship, saw a group of guards wearing black suits kneeling beside him to greet him, and couldn't help but smile: "All up, don't kneel down when you go out, after all, we are businessmen now."
"It's the lord." The fierce guard stood up and said respectfully.
"No, don't call me lord, call me boss, otherwise why do you look like a businessman?" Tang Long, who was talking, suddenly had a familiar face from the guards, and couldn't help but say in surprise: Dong, why are you here? Haven't you been the commander of the fighting corps?"
The honest Liu Dong touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I knew that my lord was going outside, so I asked Lord Sally to come and follow him."
Tang Long smiled and said, "Haha, with a fighting expert like you, I'm not afraid of meeting pirates. If you want to change your name, please don't call me the boss. Don't call me the lord, otherwise those who are interested will doubt our identity when they hear it."
Although Liu Dong looked honest, it did not mean that he was not smart. As soon as Tang Long finished speaking, he immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, boss."
Everyone is in their place and ready to leave." Tang Long said as he walked towards the control room. As soon as he entered the control room, he smelled a familiar scent. Before he could find where the fragrance came from, his arm was held by a delicate body. He also heard a sweet voice in his ear: "Master, I want to go with you too."
Tang Long looked closely and found that it was Li Liwen who had been entangling her all day long. At this moment, she also took off her military uniform and changed into a white short shirt and a black suspender mid-skirt. Tang Long always felt like a sister to this girl who was 3 years younger than him, so Tang Long patted Li Liwen's head and smiled: "Of course it's good to have you accompany me to make money. Yuna and the others know you are here?"
Li Liwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, Liwen has left them a message."
That's good. By the way, don't call me lord, call me brother." Tang Long smiled.
Li Liwen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she murmured a few words: "Brother...Brother..." Then she hugged Tang Long's arm excitedly, looked at Tang Long with a look of desire on her face and shouted: "Want to be my brother?"
"What? Don't you want to be my sister?" Tang Long smiled at Li Liwen and ordered the driver to set sail.
"I'm willing, I'm willing!" Li Liwen nodded anxiously and said.
"Let me call me brother." Tang Long, who was already sitting in the command chair, teased Li Liwen, who was kneeling on the ground and holding his arm.
Brother." Li Liwen shouted shyly, and immediately lowered her head with a flushed face.
Tang Long, who didn't expect Li Liwen to be too embarrassed, touched Li Liwen's head with a smile and said: Be good, I'll buy candy for you later."
Hearing Tang Long's words, Li Liwen stood up and stamped her feet with a flushed face, then shook Tang Long's arm and said relentlessly: "Brother, he also treats Liwen as a child. Liwen is already 17 years old."
"Haha, I'm not a grown-up yet. It's normal for me to buy candy for you to eat." Tang Long said with a hearty smile.
Brother, Liwen ignores you." Li Liwen shook her hand away and wrinkled her nose coquettishly at Tang Long.
Tang Long smiled and did not continue to tease, but turned on the computer in front of the command chair and called out the commercial information that Ling Li entered into to check. When Li Liwen saw Tang Long start working, she stopped saying a word. She obediently sat on the ground on the side of Tang Long's command chair, and looked up at Tang Long's concentrated expression. At this moment, her face was full of a happy expression. Although she was only born with a delicate and beautiful face, and her acquired elegant temperament, she cooperated with her unwinding expression, which made the guards around Tang Long look fascinated. Some guys with poor concentration were already swallowing their saliva secretly.
Liu Dong, who was the commander of the mecha corps of the transport ship this time, was the first to wake up. When he saw Li Liwen sitting on the metal floor, he couldn't help but run back to the guard's dormitory immediately. At first, the guards didn't know what the commander was going to do, but when they saw him come back with a pillow, they secretly called him a fool. Why didn't he seize such a good opportunity to flatter him?
Liu Dong came to Li Li's tattoo and whispered: "Miss, please sit here."
When Li Liwen looked at the pillow, she immediately smiled and said in a low voice: "Thank you."
Liu Dong shook his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is what my subordinates should do." After that, he quickly stepped down. He didn't dare to let his eyes look around and be rude to this lord's newly recognized sister.
To be continued...
