Weapons and equipment

The man who arrived had a beer belly, but his hair was quite thick. However, he had a hooked nose, which made him seem like a rather unpleasant person.

Fang Weiyan had already seen the other party's information when he arrived, and he recognized the other party at a glance as the person he was going to trade with.

"Boss..."

Upon seeing their boss arrive, the subordinates trembled in fear and exchanged glances.

The newcomer didn't reply, but glanced at his subordinates and said, "The guest has asked to have some fun, and you're all scared? Have some fun with the guest."

As he spoke, he gave a wink to the bodyguard beside him, who immediately took out two revolvers and handed them over.

Although Fang Weiyan couldn't understand what the other person was saying, he understood their meaning from their actions.

Fang Weiyan immediately took the pistol without ceremony, and after opening it, he found it was full of bullets.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan immediately removed one of the bullets, gestured to everyone, and then closed the magazine.

"You really want to play?"

The boss, seeing this, frowned and glanced at the driver beside him.

The driver understood immediately and translated it.

Fang Weiyan smiled upon hearing this, "Anyway, I'm not going to die, let's have some fun."

After listening to the translation, the boss looked at Fang Weiyan with some surprise.

He had arrived earlier and saw the two sides arguing. He initially thought Fang Weiyan was just trying to scare his men.

After all, even the most desperate criminals wouldn't play like that with others.

He has five bullets, but he wants someone else to load one.

He simply believed that the other party was trying to intimidate his men, and that once they gained the upper hand in terms of momentum, his men would naturally be less likely to play along.

In verbal exchanges, sometimes momentum is very important.

He had originally intended to deflate Fang Weiyan's arrogance, but seeing Fang Weiyan holding a gun without showing the slightest fear surprised him somewhat.

Is this guy serious?

I've met a few second-generation rich kids from Huaxia before, and just because they play fancy games doesn't mean they dare to do this. The one who came today seems a bit different.

"You go."

Seeing that Fang Weiyan showed no sign of backing down, the boss immediately raised his chin and said to one of his subordinates.

He just learned that the other party had been the one to speak rudely first.

In that case, let's let them play against each other.

The tattooed man whose name was mentioned changed his expression upon hearing this. He wanted to refuse, but thinking of his boss's usual behavior, he could only swallow hard.

He regretted provokeing this guy in the first place.

But now that his boss had spoken, he could only load one bullet and then gripped the pistol.

At this moment, the pistol was no longer a pistol to him; it was more like a venomous snake.

He then took a deep breath. The guy opposite him had loaded five bullets; he told him to fire first.

If the other person dies, I won't have to fire.

Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Weiyan with a ferocious expression and said, "You go first!"

He couldn't believe the other side would actually dare to fire—five bullets, after all!

Who would play like that?!

There was only a slight friction when we first met; it shouldn't have come to this.

Upon hearing the driver's translation, Fang Weiyan didn't waste any words. He raised the pistol in his hand and shot himself in the head.

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out—no bullets!

Fang Weiyan's movements were so fast that the people around him didn't even have time to react before they saw Fang Weiyan fire his gun.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Doesn't this guy even need to think things through? He just pointed a gun at himself. Who gave him the courage?

The tattooed man standing to the side was trembling.

The difference between the two is immediately apparent when compared.

The great man's hopes were dashed at this moment. He had thought that with such a slim chance, the enemy was doomed.

Once the other person is dead, the boss shouldn't make things difficult for me.

I never expected that the other person would survive.

"Shall we go inside and talk?"

Fang Weiyan turned to look at the boss standing to the side.

As for the guy standing to the side, whether he fires or not is irrelevant; he's already achieved his goal.

Whether or not a shot will be fired depends on the authority of the arms dealer.

The arms dealer responded and then strode inside with Fang Weiyan.

The two had been inside for only a short while when a gunshot rang out from outside; the man was dead.

Even with only one bullet loaded, the enemy still didn't survive.

"You mentioned before that you wanted a larger share this time?"

The two sat down without exchanging pleasantries, getting straight to the point. The other party showed no emotion whatsoever regarding the dead subordinate outside.

Fang Weiyan nodded, then took out the list he had asked for when he came.

The document specified in detail the quantity of weapons he requested.

They were mostly heavy machine guns, Gatling guns, and some rifles as well.

According to Fang Weiyan's idea, heavy machine guns are the best choice for defending against large-scale enemies.

The other party took the list from Fang Weiyan and looked at it.

Seeing the types of weapons listed above, I found it a bit strange. I didn't quite understand why Fang Weiyan needed only this type of weapon, and in such large quantities.

The use of bullets and the like made it seem like a war was about to break out.

"So, is it satisfactory?"

Fang Weiyan stared intently at the list, then asked a question.

His time was precious, and he wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

"No problem, I'll have someone bring it over."

The driver, who was standing nearby, translated for them and then made a phone call to arrange for the goods to be delivered.

A few moments later, several vehicles arrived, and boxes were unloaded one after another.

Once the box was opened, bright orange bullets were immediately visible inside.

When the heavy machine gun was taken out, it was made entirely of steel and gleamed with a cold light.

Upon seeing it, Fang Weiyan couldn't resist touching it.

After carefully checking each item and confirming that the quantity was not short, Fang Weiyan finally felt relieved.

Payment was made immediately.

Before coming, Fang Weiyan had already taken care of the money, so the payment was made readily.

Payment and goods settled.

After receiving the money, the other party said goodbye and left, while Fang Weiyan disposed of the weapons himself.

The two did not discuss helping with the transportation.

If you really want to help with the delivery, then there will be an extra charge.

After watching the other Fang Weiyan looked around again a moment later, and after confirming that no one was around, he immediately began to move the boxes of weapons back.

Fang Weiyan's strength has increased considerably, making it easy for him to move these things.

It didn't take much effort to move all the weapons to a warehouse in the Jiang Kingdom.

After dealing with these matters, Fang Weiyan left the warehouse, took a car to the airport, and then hurriedly returned to China.

This time it went relatively smoothly, and we also successfully got on this road.

If Fang Weiyan needs more weapons in the future, he can still buy them from us.

In addition, Fang Weiyan also inquired about it and found out that the other side was able to procure things like tanks.

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

However, this was enough for Fang Weiyan.

Tanks aren't something they need for the time being, but if the other side has the ability to acquire them, Fang Weiyan feels that they can also get their hands on other weapons they might need in the future.

In this way, after arming the Jiang Kingdom Jiang Kingdom, its strength will definitely increase significantly.

I reckon this time our national strength should be able to improve somewhat.

Fang Weiyan returned to China with this thought in mind, and after the plane landed, he hurriedly returned to the Jiang Kingdom.

Jiang Kingdom.

After Fang Weiyan returned, he went to the warehouse to check it out. When he saw boxes of weapons neatly arranged in the warehouse, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Weiyan was overjoyed.

I've been wanting this for so long, and I finally got it.

He wanted to see how much this thing could increase the national strength of the Jiang Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan immediately flew to the palace to take a look at the general situation of Yanhuai City.

The aura emanating from the sky above Yanhuai City at this moment has now reached a pale blue hue.

It's still mostly yellow, but you can already see a hint of pale blue.

After noting this down, Fang Weiyan returned to the Imperial Study.

Previously, Lin Liyun was ordered to lead a troop of soldiers to the vicinity of Yanhuai City and set up camp there.

However, Lin Liyun has not arrived yet, and the march will take some time.

Once the other party arrives, distribute the equipment to them and let them familiarize themselves with it.

Let's see how much our national strength has improved by then.

However, on the other hand, it's just some equipment, so the improvement in national strength might not be too significant.

After all, Fang Weiyan didn't buy any tanks, missiles, or similar weapons.

It was just some heavy machine guns and some ammunition.

Furthermore, Jiang Kingdom is currently unable to produce these weapons and equipment, so it's unclear what the impact will be.

That's what I think, but I still need to see the specifics of the situation.

Fang Weiyan had just returned to the Imperial Study when he saw the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Works.

The smelter that Fang Weiyan had previously commissioned has been built and is now in operation.

Some of the smelting workshops that were previously operating have also ceased operations.

The iron produced in the past was of very poor quality, and the output was also very low.

Now that Fang Weiyan has purchased the new equipment, increasing production is no longer a problem.

Most importantly, the quality will also improve accordingly.

With the high-quality steel produced, we can then begin manufacturing other things.

There are too many basic requirements, so Fang Weiyan can only take it slowly.

Let's buy more equipment from Earth and ship it back to build a solid industrial foundation here.

Great Qian Kingdom.

At this moment, the ruler of the Great Qian Kingdom received another piece of superstition from the Jiang Kingdom.

This is the latest intelligence we've gathered from the Jiang Kingdom.

The Human Sovereign of the Great Qian Kingdom took this emperor's ascension to the throne very seriously and wanted to know how the Human Sovereign of the Jiang Kingdom had achieved it.

The current superstition contains more detailed information about the Jiang Kingdom.

"Have you already visited the countries surrounding Jiang Kingdom?"

The Great Qian Kingdom glanced at the contents of the letter, then ignored it.

That wasn't what he wanted to focus on; what he wanted to know was what made the Human Sovereign of the Jiang Kingdom so special.

Or rather, is there something special about the State of Jiang that allowed its emperor to ascend to the top?

"Corn, sweet potatoes?"

The Great Qian Kingdom continued reading, and when he saw what followed, his pupils constricted involuntarily.

"Nearly 10,000 jin of grain per mu? Hiss..."

Even though he had been on the throne for a long time, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw what was coming next.

A yield of 10,000 jin of grain per mu? How is that possible!

The Great Qian Kingdom occupies an area of 21 million square kilometers and has a population of 1.5 billion.

The land was extremely vast and the population was enormous, which contributed to the strength of the Great Qian Kingdom.

However.

Despite its strength, food supply remains a major challenge for the Great Qian Kingdom.

Similarly, this was a difficulty faced by other dynasties.

In many places, the land is too barren, arid, cold, and unsuitable for growing crops.

Even with its vast land area and extensive cultivation, the meager yield per acre means that food remains a crisis for the Great Qian Kingdom.

If his intelligence is correct, the situation on Empress Wanxi's side is even worse than his.

There was originally a lineage of Mountain Spirit had always followed Empress Wanxi, but they were assassinated.

Without the help of the Mountain Spirit to regulate the weather, the Empress Wanxi's Dynasty has been plagued by misfortune in recent years.

Everywhere there are constant droughts and floods, as well as locust plagues.

The problem of food supplies was a major headache for Empress Wanxi.

It should be noted that the opposing dynasty actually had no shortage of water; there were streams everywhere.

However, due to the abnormalities in recent years, many streams in their country have dried up.

With grain production declining, the imperial court had no choice but to provide continuous relief.

"So, the reason why the Human Sovereign of the Jiang Kingdom was able to ascend to the top was entirely because of these corn and sweet potatoes?"

Upon seeing this, the Great Qian Kingdom frowned, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

If that's the case, once they get these seeds, their dynasty will never have to worry about food again!

If the people can all have enough to eat, wouldn't that create a prosperous dynasty?

Wouldn't the dynasty's national strength then be able to rise dramatically?

Thinking this way, the Great Qian Dynasty was overjoyed.

This thing could solve a major problem for the Great Qian Dynasty!

Thinking of this, the Great Qian Kingdom immediately began searching.

Since the spies I sent out reported this matter, the other side should have brought back the seeds.

Sure enough, after searching through them, he found several bags of seeds.

These bags of seeds contain some vegetables, as well as corn and rice.

The yield per mu (unit of land area) of rice is still unknown, but based on his observation, Jiang Kingdom planted a large area of rice this year, so the yield per mu should be quite good.
