Ambition needs to be supported by strength. It is precisely because of this principle that Saint Dels can become an internationally renowned arms dealer from a grassroots level.

It is already a consensus among all sectors of society that there is no good person among arms dealers. Since the reputation is broken, you should naturally not think of high social status.

Especially "famous" arms dealers like St. Dulls have enemies all over the world, such as offending the British this time.

For the sake of safety, many arms dealers dare not reveal their true identities.

"Saint Dels" is a typical pseudonym, which means that religion is weak now. If the name "Saint" was used randomly in the Middle Ages, the Heretic Inquisition would have come to you long ago.

Under normal circumstances, only by making outstanding contributions to the religious cause can one be enthroned "saint". Only after gaining the recognition of the pope can the word "saint" be added to the name.

For example: if the heroes who regained Jerusalem and get the title of "Holy Land Revenator" granted by the Pope, you can add the word "Holy" to your name.

Of course, most people do not add the word "saint" before their names, but usually they are added before the title to show glory.

An arms dealer like St. Dels is obviously not qualified. With his achievements, he may be qualified to go to the guillotine.

This is not the life Saint Dels wanted. He gave himself this pseudonym to be "canceled to the saint" one day.

At present, it is still a long way off. To achieve this great life goal, he must first whitewash before he is qualified to contribute to the religious cause.

Colonial merchants are just the first step. Unless they can become nobles, ordinary colonial merchants are better than arms dealers, and they are engaged in legal transactions and can see the light.

Success is full of luck, but there is no luck when it continues to succeed. After targeting the land of Ethiopians, Saint Dels also did a lot of preparations.

The information he is holding now is the map of the border area between Ethiopia and Austria. It clearly marks information on it, including roads, rivers, mountains, forests, mineral resources, indigenous tribes, etc. Perhaps the Ethiopian government does not know so much.

For this map, he spent three years, spent tens of thousands of Syrian shields, and took them to survey in person halfway through to complete the surveying.

Saint Dels: "Murdo, how is the PR work done?"

"It has been almost done, and we have bribed the ministers of the Egyptian Emperor. He promised to find a suitable opportunity to mention the land lease to the Egyptian Emperor.

Now that the Ethiopian government is exhausted, we are just ordinary commercial land leases, and there is no sovereignty involved, so there should be no big problem." Moldo replied

Sovereignty is not involved, sovereignty is not necessary. When the Ethiopian government collapses, those who actually occupy the land can become legal owners.

Regardless of whether others admit it or not, the Vienna government will recognize its colonial rights. This is enough. As long as it is recognized by the Vienna government, the British will not be able to rob it openly.

As for whether he will use tricks in secret, it depends on whether he can grasp this level.

If there weren't many gains, the British were busy sorting out the newly occupied areas, and they probably wouldn't have time to worry about it for a while.

If you are greedy and want to pick the British peaches and make the British angry, you have to consider how to die.

There are no more than one or two colonial merchants who are defeated in the colonial conflict. Most of the eliminated people are not controlled by their "greed" and the benefits they get exceed their own strength.

Saint Dels: "Implement it as soon as possible so as not to have too many dreams. I have a premonition that there will be many people targeting Ethiopia this time. If someone takes the lead, we will be in vain."

Not all land has colonial value, and the essence of colonization is to make money. If the place you choose is wrong and cannot make a profit, then selling it to the colonial government at a low price is the only choice.

Since the opening of Austria Africa, tens of thousands of colonial companies have been born. Most of the colonial companies have fallen halfway, and only more than a thousand survived.

More than 90% of the remaining colonial companies were family businesses, most of which were monopolized by the nobles.

Not to mention grassroots, even capitalists with strong financial resources are at a disadvantage in this round of competition.

There is no way, colonization requires force support. In this regard, the nobles have an absolute advantage, and capitalists are not suitable for commanding battles.

What's more, capitalists who are doing well have become nobles in the colonial movement. When their identities change, their positions change.

The sources of the bourgeoisie are diversified, and a large number of capitalists are aristocratic sidelines without inheritance, or they are aristocrats themselves.

These people never admit that they are capitalists and have always regarded themselves as noble children. Many people's life goal is to obtain their own title.

Not only Austria, but also the social atmosphere in Europe is now like this. Even nouveau riche in the Americas are pursuing aristocratic titles.

Social atmosphere has affected many people, and St. Dels has naturally been affected. There are not many industries that make money simply and profitably than arms trade.

Moldo reminded: "Mr. St. Dels, our investment is already very large.

To speed up the progress, we need to continue to increase investment, and the pressure to recover costs in the future will be very high."

"Money is not a problem. We can pay the bill with arms, and the cost will naturally come down." Saint Dels explained

The huge profits in the arms trade are unquestionable. Perhaps the actual cost of selling weapons and equipment to the Ethiopian government of 1 million ASUS may be less than 300,000 ASUSUS. This is the confidence of Saint Dels.

Murdo answered confidently: "No problem, you can receive good news in a month at most."

...

Public relations The Ethiopian government is only one aspect. If it wants to gain a foothold in the border areas, it is also necessary to support the Austrian East African colonial government.

Without the colonial government to withstand the pressure from the British, Saint Dels did not think he could protect the benefits he received from the Ethiopian government.

You can't expect the British to abide by international rules, right?

"Mr. St. Dels, your proposal is very constructive, but how can you guarantee the task to be completed?"

The question was Randlar, the Secretary-General of the Austrian Governor of East Africa. This was also a connection between Saint Dels and the highest-level government officials that he could reach.

As for the Governor of East Africa, unless Saint Dels is already a noble, he would not have discussed these matters in person.

Saint Dels: "Hissar Baron, maybe I can't develop a colonial economy, but smuggling is my major, and this is the most basic survival skill of an arms dealer.

As long as I gain a foothold in the border areas, domestic goods can continue to enter Ethiopia and Sudan, and the colonial government can also obtain more taxes."

Do one line, love one line.

In the field of professional technology, Saint Dels is definitely an elite in the industry. He has been engaged in arms smuggling business for more than 20 years and has never been caught, otherwise he would not have been able to sit here and talk.

Secretary-General Randlar: "I never doubt your professional ability, but ordinary commodity trade is different from arms trade.

I believe you have the ability to transport things over, but how to sell them? The British and French colonial governments are not fools. A large number of smuggled goods are pouring in, and they cannot not investigate them."

After entering the industrial society, the demand for markets in Austria's domestic industry and commerce has increased day by day, and the colonial movement was born under this background.

Nowadays, colonies of various countries are all private areas, and foreign goods will be subject to many restrictions if they want to enter.

No one is willing to be exploited like this, and smuggling comes into being. The Vienna government also supports the act of capitalists smuggling their own goods to colonies of other countries.

Anyway, as long as the tax that should be paid in China is paid, whether other countries can receive taxes is not within the scope of the Vienna government.

This is a major background of the times, and it is narrowed down in the Austrian East Africa region. If a large amount of Austrian goods flow into the British and French colonies from here, it will also drive regional economic prosperity and increase government fiscal tax revenue.

The local economy and the increase in fiscal revenue are all the political achievements of officials. St. Dels is confident of gaining support from the colonial government, which is based on this.

Saint Dels said as if nothing had happened: "It's very simple, just change the label. For example: change the German language on the label to English and French.

I visited the British and French colonies on the spot. They did not have strict control over the colonies, and they could be said to be full of loopholes.

Many colonial policemen are semi-illiterate. As long as they change their labels, they can't figure out whether it is their own product.

Based on the principle that it is better to have less than more things. As long as you do something, these people will pretend to see nothing.

If you want to be more safe, then you can directly copy British and French products. With our technical strength, you can produce commercial products that are exactly the same as those of British and French.

It is even more difficult to find out. Even if there is a problem with the product, they are likely to suspect these manufacturers, and as far as I know, these companies are also doing smuggling."

Secretary-General Randlar nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Mr. St. Durs, you have successfully convinced me.

However, I suggest you change your name first, otherwise the church will come to you and things will be in trouble."

Despite the drastic reduction in the power of the church, their influence in Austria was still huge, at least the arms dealer, Saint Dels, could not afford to offend him.

Randlar's reminder shocked St. Dels. Looking back now, he realized how despicable he was to choose this name.

The church did not come to him, probably because he felt that he, the arms dealer, was a clown who couldn't stand the table and was too lazy to reduce his identity and came to cause trouble.

If the situation is whitewashed, the situation will be different. The higher the identity, the easier it is to cause trouble for yourself.

Saint Dels made a quick decision and said, "Okay, Lord Baron. If it weren't forbidden, I wouldn't have used this name.

It won’t take long before there will be no arms dealer in this world, but only a colonial merchant named Dels.”

Since we have to wash ourselves, of course we have to change our vests. Although Dels and Saint Dels are only one word different, there are more than five figures in Austria, and only one is called Saint Dels.

Dulles doesn't think that changing his name and surname will no one knows him. For real big shots, it is too easy to find out these information. Unless you run to the deep mountains and forests to live in seclusion, you will not be able to escape.
