Chapter 953: Proxy War
"I like these damn guys, how much does it cost?"
Kumar Datuk pretended to be fierce and slapped the Shenweilu bus hard, acting very angry, but without waiting for Lu Yao to speak, he laughed first.
Lu Yao rolled his eyelids and gave the price: "This damn guy is my latest product, except for me, no one has such a fierce big guy." We are friends and will give you a preferential price, 100 million gold per Shenweilu bus. ”
Datuk Kumar hesitated. He's just a little tyrant in the Malay Peninsula. Shenwei Lu bus is very domineering, he likes it very much, but the price makes his egg hurt a little.
He could see that the Shenweilu bus was not only used for siege, but also for the dragon cannon installed on it. Tank, the absolute king of war.
"The price...... Can you get a better discount? Datuk Kumar was so embarrassed that he bargained.
"Do you know the unit price of the dragon cannon?" Lu Yao didn't answer the rhetorical question, with a lovely smile, full of profiteers.
Kumar Dato's Stopper.
He coveted the dragon cannon for I don't know how long, how could he not know the price of the dragon cannon. It's black, it's so black, it's like robbing money. Looking at it this way, the Shenwei Lu bus is equipped with a dragon cannon, and the unit price of 100 million gold is really not expensive.
However, at this time, Lu Yao suddenly added: "But it's not non-negotiable. ”
Datuk Kumar was immediately surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "What conditions are needed?" ”
Lu Yao was satisfied, and then he showed his fangs: "I need Lion City." The Straits of Malacca are important to me. ”
Datuk Kumar didn't think about it: "How much can it be discounted?" ”
The Strait of Malacca controls communication between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and is of course important to the troublesome sailors who are here and there. He knew that. However, he didn't think about sitting on the ground, anyway, he had such a big appetite, and he was already satisfied with the Malay Peninsula.
It doesn't matter who controls the Straits of Malacca.
Lu Yao raised an index finger: "Ten million gold, at this time, it is only limited to the unit price of trading with you, this is my bottom line." If you're not satisfied, that's the end of the deal. ”
"Deal." Datuk Kumar was overjoyed.
The unit price of 100 million gold has become 10 million gold in a blink of an eye, and this discount is really powerful. It's a pity that I don't have a beautiful daughter, otherwise I wouldn't be able to marry this Huaxia Zhuya King.
Lu Yao smiled and stretched out his right hand to Kumar Datuk. He was also happy with the deal.
The cost of the Shenwei Lu bus is not high, and the biggest cost is not even the dragon cannon that is equipped, but the overall material. Tanks pay equal attention to attack and defense, and are built with a kind of ironwood. This kind of timber is not in Zhuya, there is no in Dongying District, there is no in Nanyang, only in the northeast of Huaxia District, it is a special product, and the price is not low.
However, even if the materials used are expensive, they will definitely not cost 10 million gold.
To engage in monopoly is to drag, and to make all kinds of money.
Another reason is that he wanted to use the terrain of the Malay Peninsula as a test field to verify the adaptability and practicability of the Shenweilu bus, so as to consider whether it should be equipped with the whole army.
After all, the current Xanadu Army is more polarized, the sailors have all kinds of cattle, and the army is the same as the stepmother's raising, and there is almost no sense of existence.
However, if the Shenwei Lu bus has a high enough practicality, then the army can be regarded as coming out, and it will not be like bandits, going through a wave of streams, without enough persistence.
The last and most important reason. He wants to change his current strategy and move away from proxy wars.
Proxy wars, as the name suggests, are to hide behind the scenes and act as a promoter, by supporting local forces to wage war, in order to plunder local resources and wealth.
Datuk Kumar unfortunately became his first experiment.
As the external plundering continued to increase, he deeply realized that there was still a serious weakness in relying only on Zhu Ya or relying on players in the Huaxia region to plunder the outside world.
Just like this time when a group went to the South Seas, the Xanadu sailors could sweep the coastal ports of the islands in the South Seas, but they did not dare to go inland. Chinese players are not afraid of death, but they are reluctant to come forward in person.
After all, this is a virtual world, and players value personal interests more than selfless dedication.
Previously in Kalimantan, the Xanadu sailor refused to go deep inland, and the Chinese players also pretended to be dumb and deaf, and everything followed the Xanadu Army.
You don't move, I don't move. You go, I'll go.
It's not that he looks down on these Chinese players. Thinking about it from another perspective, he doesn't feel that he is so selfless, sacrificing himself and benefiting others.
This is just one of the South Seas, the world is so big, and the South Seas are just one of them. Controlling Nanyang and Dongying alone was not enough to satisfy his desires. For example, the American region is very good.
The model of proxy warfare is just as popular in reality, and it can be said that it has been proven strategic thinking. He just wanted to know the viability of this model in the virtual world.
He hopes to use Kumar Datuk as an experiment to verify the feasibility of proxy warfare. For example, the Trist family in the American region is very easy to use.
Lu Yao's intentions, Kumar Datuk is also clear. After all, proxy wars have not just been invented by Lu Yao, they have been popular for hundreds of years.
But what does it matter to him?
He wanted the right to rule the Malay Peninsula, and Lu Yao wanted control of the Strait of Malacca. Everyone takes what they need, a win-win situation.
And what does he need to give? Troops, and then there were none. And Lu Yao only paid all kinds of aid, in the final analysis, it was just money.
Is Zhu Ya bad money? It's not bad for money, just the sale of dragon artillery makes Lu Yao unwanted, not to mention the lucrative trade of Chinese-style warships.
Datuk Kumar was happy for a while, and suddenly remembered an important question, and hurriedly asked, "How many damn big guys do you have?" ”
Lu Yao raised another index finger: "At present, counting this one, there are only a hundred sets, and it only takes a little time to assemble it to get the finished product." ”
Datuk Kumar was excited. A hundred Shenwei Lu buses, that is quite a formidable force, enough for him to cross the Malay Peninsula.
"Please prepare the money, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." Lu Yao smiled slightly.
"Uh...... This ......" Kumar Datuk became a little squirming when he heard this: "Can this payment issue be changed to another method?" I'm just a small Dato, and most of the money is invested in my territory. Now I can't get that much cash. ”
Lu Yao was stunned and looked Kuma Datuk up and down.
It's not reliable. Each Shenweilu bus is 10 million gold, ten cars are only 100 million gold, and a hundred cars are only 1 billion gold. This amount can be reached by any player with a bit of power. But this product even has this money.
It's a parallel import.
Datuk Kumar was so embarrassed that he avoided Lu Yao's gaze. He really couldn't come up with that much cash. The port of Kota Bharu needs to be rebuilt, which accounts for more than half of his funds. After all, to restore to the original scale as soon as possible, the cost is naturally not low.
Recruiting troops and buying horses and other kinds of money, he really can't bear it.
Lu Yao retracted his gaze, smiled and quickly sorted out a system contract and handed it over: "It doesn't matter, we are friends, right?" Sign this contract, and these Shenweilu buses are yours. ”
"No money."
