Holy Roman Empire

Ambition needs to be supported by strength. It is precisely because of this truth that Sundels can mix from a grassroots into an internationally renowned arms dealer.

The lack of good people in arms dealers is already a consensus among all sectors of society.Since the reputation is broken, it is natural not to think of social status.

Especially "well-known" arms dealers like Sundels are even enemies all over the world. For example, this time they offended the British.

For security reasons, many arms dealers dare not reveal their true identities.

"Sandals" is a typical pseudonym, that is, the religion is weak now. If the name "holy" is used in the Middle Ages, the heretical tribunals have long found them.

Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to make outstanding contributions to the cause of religion in order to be able to seal the "holy".The word "holy" can be added in front of the name only after obtaining the Pope's approval.

For example, if the heroes who recaptured Jerusalem were given the "Holy Land Reclaimer" title granted by the Pope, they could add the word "Holy" in front of their names.

Of course, most people do n’t put the word "holy" in front of their names, usually in front of the title to show glory.

An arms dealer like Sandals is obviously not qualified.With his merits, he may be qualified to go to the guillotine.

This is not the life that Stells wanted, he gave himself this pseudonym, in order to one day "sacred".

At present, it is still far away.In order to achieve this great goal in life, he must be whitewashed before he is eligible to contribute to the cause of religion.

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

Success is full of luck, but there has been no luck with success.Staring at the Ethiopian land, Sundels also made a lot of preparations.

The information he currently holds is a map of the border area between Ethiopia and Austria.The roads, rivers, mountain forests, mineral resources, indigenous tribes and other materials are clearly marked on the above. Perhaps the Ethiopian government does not have such detailed information.

For this map, he spent three years before and after, spent thousands of Aegis shields, and he also brought in surveys midway, before completing the surveying and mapping.

Sundels: "Mordo, how is the PR work done?"

"It's almost done. We bought the Emperor's ministers. He promised to find a suitable opportunity to mention the land lease to the Emperor.

Now that the Ethiopian government is running out of finances, we are just ordinary commercial land leases, and sovereignty is not involved, so it should not be a problem."Moldo replied

No sovereignty is involved, it does not need to involve sovereignty.When the Ethiopian government collapses, those who actually occupy the land can become legal owners.

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

As for whether or not secretly play tricks, it depends on whether he can grasp this degree.

If not much, the British are busy sorting out the newly occupied area, and it is estimated that there will be no time to worry about it at about 1:30.

If you are not greedy and want to pick up the peaches of the British and irritate the British, then you have to consider how to die.

The colonial merchants who died in the colonial conflict are no longer one or two.Most of the people who were eliminated were because they did not control "greed", and the benefits they obtained exceeded their own strength.

Sundels: "Implement it as soon as possible so as not to have too many nights. I have a hunch that there will be a lot of people who are eyeing the Ethiopian region this time. If we are caught first, we will be busy."

Not all land has colonial value, the essence of colonization is to make money.If the choice of the place is wrong and no profit can be achieved, then the cheap sale to the colonial government is the only option.

Since the development of Austrian Africa, tens of thousands of colonial companies have been born.Most of the colonial companies are halfway down, and there are more than a thousand survivors.

Over 90% of the remaining colonial companies are family businesses, most of which are monopolized by 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 needs the support of force.In this respect, the nobility has an absolute advantage, and the capitalists are not suitable to participate in war games.

Moreover, well-capitalized capitalists have all become nobles during the colonial movement.The identity has changed, so has the position.

The source of the bourgeoisie is itself diversified, and a large part of the capitalists are nobles with no inheritance rights, or are themselves nobles.

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

Not only Austria, but the social atmosphere of the whole Europe is now.Even upstarts in the Americas are chasing noble titles.

The social ethos affects many people, and Sunders is naturally affected.There are really few industries that simply make money and are more profitable than the arms trade.

Murdo reminded: "Mr. Sundels, our investment has been very large.

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

"Money is not a problem, we can pay for the arms, and the cost will naturally come down."

The huge profits of the arms trade are undoubted. Perhaps the actual cost of the weapons and equipment sold to the Ethiopian government of 1 million Aegis may be less than 300,000 Aegis. This is the basis of Sundels.

Murdo replied confidently: "No problem, you can receive good news for up to one month."

...

Public relations The Ethiopian government is only one aspect. If you want to gain a foothold in the border area, the support of the Austrian East African colonial government is also indispensable.

Without the colonial government to withstand the pressure of the British, Sundels did not think that he could keep the benefits obtained from the Ethiopian government.

Can't you expect the British to abide by international regulations?

"Mr. Sundels, your proposal is very constructive, but why can you guarantee the completion of the task?"

The questioner was Landraar, the secretary general of the Austrian Governor of East Africa. This is also the connection between Sundels and the highest level of government officials who can be reached.

As for the Governor of East Africa, unless St. Dells is already a noble, he will not personally talk about these matters.

Sundels: "Lord Baron, I may not be able to develop a colonial economy, but smuggling is my major. This is the most basic survival skill of an arms dealer.

As long as I gain a foothold in the border area, domestic commodities can continuously enter the Ethiopian and Sudanese regions, and the colonial government can also obtain more taxes."

Do a line, love a line.

In the field of professional technology, Sundels is definitely the elite of the industry.In the arms smuggling business for more than 20 years, he has never been caught, otherwise he cannot sit here and talk.

Secretary Randall: "I never doubt your professional ability, but ordinary merchandise trade is different from arms trade.

I believe your Excellency has the ability to ship things over, but how do you sell them?The Anglo-French colonial government is not a fool, and a large number of smuggled goods are pouring in, and they cannot fail to investigate."

After entering the industrial society, the demand of Austrian domestic industry and commerce for the market is increasing day by day. The colonial movement was born under this background.

In recent years, the colonies of various countries are all reserved areas, and foreign goods want to enter, will be subject to many restrictions.

No one is willing to suffer such exploitation, and smuggling comes into being.The Vienna government also supported the capitalists ’smuggling of their commodities to other countries’ colonies.

Anyway, as long as the domestic tax should be paid and whether other countries can receive the tax, it will not be considered by the Vienna government.

This is the background of the times, 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 promote regional economic prosperity and increase government fiscal revenue.

Local economic prosperity and increased fiscal revenue are all officials' achievements.It is based on this that Sundels is sure to gain the support of the colonial government.

Sundels said nothing, "It's simple, just change the label. For example: change the German on the label to English and French.

I have visited the British and French colonies on the spot. Their control of the colonies is not strict. It can be said that there are loopholes everywhere.

Many colonial policemen are semi-illiterate. As long as they change their labels, they simply do n’t know if they are domestic products.

On the principle that one more thing is worse than one less, as long as you touch it, these people will pretend not to see anything.

If you want more insurance, then directly copy the British and French commodities.With our technical strength, we can produce exactly the same commercial products as English and French.

It's even harder to find out. Even if they find out that there is a problem with the product, they are likely to suspect these production companies. As far as I know, these companies are also smuggling."

Secretary Randall nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, Mr. Sundels, you successfully persuaded me.

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

Although the power of the church was greatly diminished, their influence in Austria was still huge, at least the arms dealer of St. Dells could not afford it.

Randall's reminder surprised Sanders.Looking back now, he found how deadly he took the name.

The church didn't come to the door. I am afraid that he is a clown who can't get on the table at the arms dealer.

If after washing, the situation is different.The higher the status, the easier it is for the name to blame yourself.

Sundels took the opportunity to say decisively: "Okay, Your Excellency Baron. If it is not compelled, I will not use this name.

It won't take long for there to be no arms dealer in this world, only a colonial businessman named Dells."

Since you want to wash white, of course, you have to change the vest.Although there is only one word difference between Dels and Sunders, there are more than five figures in Austria called Dels, but there is only one named Sunders.

Dells didn't think he would change his name and name, and no one would know him.For real big men, it is too easy to find out these materials, unless you go to the deep forest to hide in the old forest, otherwise you cannot escape.
