"First, let's count the countries in the Lost Star Territory. Under the current situation, the distance is too far and we can't sell our battleships, so we can only do peripheral business."

Zhang Shusheng pointed at a huge circular map with an electronic baton. The middle area was the territory of the Chinese Empire, including the entire Lost Star Territory, and the periphery was a dozen or twenty countries, large and small.

At present, the empire's conditions are limited and it cannot support ultra-long-distance trade. It has neither interstellar status nor strong military strength. It may encounter powerful pirates along the way and may be deceived.

"If we use the sun as a reference, the Nok Merchant Alliance is located in the west of the empire and the Longshan Empire is located in the north. These are the two strongest second-level civilizations. To be precise, they both have the qualifications to be quasi-third-level civilizations.

The remaining secondary civilizations include the Principality of Rank, the Orion Alliance, the Rother Dynasty, the Hylian Federation, and the Harv Empire.[

Other countries that are relatively strong and have reached the pinnacle of first-level civilization include the Xiongfeng Empire, the Cross Federation, the Meteor Empire, and the Menas Business Alliance..."

Zhang Shusheng listed all these countries, and then removed several countries with weak national power and heavy debts, and then removed those with longer distances and greater difficulty in trade. Finally, several optional targets were left.

"The two giants, Nok Merchant Alliance and Longshan Empire, must be eliminated. Even if our battleships are no worse than their elite battleships, in the long run, they will be enemies of the empire, and we cannot be enemies.

The Principality of Rank is in a state of war with us, except that the Orion Alliance is a newly rising force, but it is relatively strong. However, we cannot sell all our warships to them. Only with more customers can we conduct more effective bidding.

After excluding several other countries with heavy debts, long distances and poor trade, there are still four countries left to choose from.

The Rother Dynasty and the Harv Empire are two secondary civilizations.

The first-level civilization includes the Xiongfeng Empire and the Menas Business Alliance."

Zhang Shusheng immediately clicked on the information on these four countries, and a large amount of data and pictures were displayed in front of everyone.

"The Rother Dynasty is a second-level civilization. It was founded 1,500 years ago. It has strong military strength and strong national power. It is a second-level civilization in the Lost Star Territory, second only to the Longshan Empire and the Nok Merchant Alliance.

Although this country is powerful, it has been tired of defense because it is between the Nok Merchant Alliance and the Longshan Empire. It is worried about the attack of the Longshan Empire and is also worried about being attacked by the Nok Merchant Alliance. Generally speaking, they prefer the Longshan Empire, but

The relationship with the Nok Merchant Alliance is not bad either. It is a weak country, but it is relatively strong.

Generally speaking, this country has money and is willing to buy powerful battleships, and they can afford the price. This is the basis for doing business. However, we must see that this country is between two major countries, and the contradictions are prominent. We

The battleships sold to them had to pass near the border between the two countries and were easily subject to strong retaliation.

Moreover, the Rother Dynasty is now very worried about getting involved in the war and has always wanted to be neutral. It is difficult for us to negotiate this business in a short time, let alone become our long-term cooperation partner in the near future."

In fact, in Zhang Shusheng's view, the Rother Dynasty is a very good partner for cooperation in the future. As long as it can abandon neutrality and completely turn to the other side, it means huge war business opportunities. As long as it has advanced battleships in its hands, it will definitely be able to

Sell ​​it there.

However, it is not realistic at present, and the trade risk coefficient is also the highest.

"This Harv Empire is a strange thing. It was founded only five or six hundred years ago. It has a strong economy, but its military strength is very weak. There are troops stationed in the country by the Nok Merchant Alliance, and they are vassals of the Nok Merchant Alliance.

The founder of the empire, Harv I, was a defected noble from the Longshan Empire. He had been attached to the Nok Merchant Alliance for hundreds of years and remained hostile to the original Orion Federation, which is today's Orion Alliance, and the Principality of Lank."

Zhang Shusheng is more fond of the Hafu Empire because they are in big trouble.

"Emperors of the Harv Empire have been ambitious adventurists, and this time is no exception. They thought that the Nok Merchant Alliance would defeat the Rank Principality with absolute superiority, and thus reach a wartime alliance with the Orion Alliance, and hastily sent troops. As a result...

"

Zhang Shusheng clicked on a picture, which showed a gorgeous starry sky. Countless fireworks decorated the dark night sky, and under the firelight were battleships that were blown to pieces one after another.[

"The fleet they sent fell into the Lank people's trick and was completely wiped out. If the Orions hadn't rescued them in time, the Lank people would have reached the capital area by now."

This country is very suitable for selling arms. A country that is rich but does not have matching military strength can only think of national defense construction when the country's survival is at stake.

He could guess that the royal family of the Hafu Empire must be anxious. He thought he could get huge benefits by taking a ride, but in the end, he was cheated instead. The main force of the country was completely lost. The only remaining ones were a little guard fleet and

The family fleet only consists of the troops stationed by the Nok Merchant Alliance.

But the Nok Merchant Alliance itself is in huge trouble. How can it wholeheartedly keep this important vassal?

"This Hafu Empire has been used to living a comfortable life, and now it is in trouble. In the past, the Nok Merchant Alliance must have taken good care of it like an old hen. Now the Longshan Empire and the Nok Merchant Alliance have set up their posture. Small and medium-sized enterprises

The number of battles is high. Seeing that the war is imminent, everyone is desperately gathering troops. Unless the Hafu Empire is destroyed, I am afraid they will not pay much attention to him."

Jiang Baili said with a smile that he was also very optimistic about the Harv Empire.

First of all, they are rich. Although they are greedy and stingy, they are still willing to spend money when the country is destroyed. Secondly, even if the Nok Merchant Alliance can save it from being destroyed, losing a few planets is enough to kill half the life of the Harv royal family.

.

"The Harv Empire is indeed very rich. I think it can be listed as a target of arms sales. Their royal family is greedy for life and afraid of death. At this time, there is nothing better than killing them."

Hatton also thought so. He used to work in an arms company and knew the surrounding countries very well. He used to think that something would happen sooner or later if the Haf Empire tried to take over, but now he didn't expect that he would suffer a big loss due to his own greed and ambition.

"Then list it as one of the targets. Let's look at the other two first-level civilization countries."

Then, everyone looked at and discussed the Xiongfeng Empire and the Menas Business Alliance. Both countries have their own characteristics.

Although the Xiongfeng Empire is a country at the pinnacle of the first-level civilization and not yet a second-level civilization, it has more battleships on hand than the Haf Empire. It even has a battleship production line. It is stronger. The key is that it is particularly warlike and has conquered several surrounding small countries.

There were complaints about the beating, and a lot of protection money was obtained every year.

This small empire only has five living planets, but it is very warlike. It has a small overlap with the empire in terms of territory. It can be regarded as the leader of a small country in a chaotic area.

In Zhang Shusheng's opinion, this small country is more similar to Israel in later generations. It is fierce and aggressive and has extraordinary strength. In such troubled times, it is definitely a good choice to list it as an arms sales target.

What is the core of arms sales?

First of all, the other party has a strong desire to purchase advanced battleships. Secondly, it must have enough money. The transaction can be successfully completed again. Only if these three points are met can Zhang Shusheng's conditions be met.

The conditions of the Menas Trade Alliance are also good. It is a country founded on commerce. It is naturally close to the Nok Trade Alliance, and it is also one of the countries protected by the Nok Trade Alliance.

This merchant alliance has been doing business with the Nok Merchant Alliance and the Longshan Empire. It is very wealthy and is a typical example of a small country becoming rich.

And the Xiongfeng Empire yyng, the military strength is also very strong, the two countries have even fought several times on the border, but they ended in a draw.

However, the Menas Business Alliance has a natural weakness. It is a small country but a rich one. People have long been concerned about the family's huge wealth, and it is geographically closer to the Longshan Empire.

Their fate is even more tragic than that of the Xiongfeng Empire. The Hafu Empire and the Orion Alliance went to war with the Principality of Lank. The Xiongfeng Empire bullied the surrounding small countries to take advantage, but the Menas Business Alliance was beaten to pieces by the Longshan Empire's border fleet.

Well, the situation is also very bad.

"The Harv Empire, the Xiongfeng Empire, and the Menas Business Alliance are all good targets for arms sales. I prefer the Harv Empire and the Menas Business Alliance. The Xiongfeng Empire can be the target of subsequent observation."[

He plans to select one of the best arms sales targets first, and the remaining two will be postponed. After all, the empire's current battleship production is limited.

In fact, Zhang Shusheng only wanted these senior military and political officials to participate in the meeting to select targets, so that they could learn more about interstellar strategy. He actually had two or three goals in mind.

While the Empire was busy selecting targets for arms sales, the Harv Empire was already on fire.

…

"I have heard of the Chinese Empire. It seems that they are very close to the Orions and have a hostile relationship with the Ranks."

Although Harv IX was addicted to wine, sex and wealth, he still heard about the existence of the Chinese Empire.

General Miankang nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. China is a country located in the Lost Star Territory. It is said to be the pinnacle of first-level civilization and has strong military power. They have the upper hand in many battles with the Lancs.

This country is like a country that has suddenly risen. No one has even heard of the existence of such a first-level civilization before."

"This is a bit strange. Could it be that a family from a certain big country ran away?"

Harv IX thought of his ancestors and the Rong family that was actually at the helm of the Principality of Lanc, and wondered which big family from that country occupied the Lost Star Territory.

"It is very possible that they were very powerful when they appeared. Although they had the advantage of a good location, they were not at a disadvantage even in several head-on conflicts.

They have advanced battleships, which is their biggest feature.

According to intelligence, they even sold battleships to the Orion Alliance, and relied on these advanced battleships to defeat many with fewer enemies, forcing the Lanks to flee."

Miankang paused for a moment, and finally told a bombshell, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the elite fleet collision between the Orions and the Ranks on the front line not long ago?"

"You mean?"

"Intelligence shows that these battleships, the Orions, were not purchased from the Kuluo Federation and the Nok Merchant Alliance, but from this mysterious Chinese Empire. This is a very advanced battleship. I activated a lurker

The ace agent in the Orion Alliance has already obtained the relevant information.

Judging from the data, this is an elite battleship that is slightly stronger than ordinary F-class battleships."

Miankang said solemnly that the advanced weapons of the Chinese Empire this time were his greatest magic weapon in facing the Holy Spirit.

He didn't know the origin of this Chinese empire, but he was full of curiosity and coveted this mysterious battleship.

The Harv Empire has been weak for a long time. Just buying a few second-hand battleships cannot solve the problem. Heavy medicine must be taken.

If such advanced battleships can be purchased and a certain number is obtained, then even a smaller battleship can rely on its quality and cluster advantages to deal with larger enemies.

"What? Such an advanced battleship!"

When King Harv IX heard this, his eyes turned green. He couldn't eat or sleep well now because he was afraid of the destruction of the empire, of the Lancs coming, of the sudden withdrawal of the Nok Merchant Alliance's garrison, and of the border planets being taken away.

"They actually bought it from the Chinese, how much did it cost!!"

Harv IX suddenly felt a lot better. The Orions can buy it, and the Harv Empire can also buy it. It's nothing more than money. As long as you give enough money, you can own such a very advanced battleship.

The F-class battleships and the Nok Merchant Alliance are all used as ace troops, and they do not sell them at all. The Nok Merchant Alliance can also produce them, but the output is very low and many technical problems cannot be solved. They all buy them from the Guluo Federation.

It is definitely impossible for a country like the Harv Empire to purchase it from the Guro Federation or the Nok Merchant Alliance.

"General Miankang, you have provided a piece of very strategic information. I want you to investigate this matter as quickly as possible at any cost. At the same time, we must be prepared to investigate it and the Chinese jehu,

Whether they admit it or not, we can test it."
