#1346 Arab storm (seventeen)

Like Prince Mustafa earlier, Aziz also saw the training of the imperial soldiers when he visited the Imperial Camp located in the Cairo Concession.

The muskets of ping-pong, the choking smell of cyan smoke, the neat and orderly queue, and the military uniform that was not gorgeous but looked very pleasing. Everything made Aziz and his entourage arrive very surprised and shocked.

Especially the power of the muskets has opened their eyes.

At this time, the Europeans had equipped muskets to combat troops, but the number of units was not large and it did not popularize every soldier.

But it is undeniable that in the Spanish phalanx they are still using, a military force like musketeers is retained.

Moreover, because of seeing the power of the Imperial Musketeers, they learned how to fight like five-stage shooting. Europeans have begun to pay attention to muskets.

But it's different in the Arab world.

They are still using cold weapons to fight.

But this is not surprising. After all, there is no mineral in the Arab world, and there is not even raw materials. It is impossible for them to learn from Europeans.

At the same time, because the information is not very developed, it is not surprising that they cannot know so detailed about some of the military changes that are happening in Europe.

Therefore, when we saw the power of the musket, how could Aziz and the others not be shocked?

This is a very normal thing.

The imperial soldiers in training can use muskets to penetrate a pair of armor targets placed 200 steps away, which brings more than just shock to Aziz and the others.

It's simply shocking!

The armor as a target looks very well-built, and you can tell at a glance that it cannot be destroyed even with ordinary swords.

However, the musket easily penetrated the armor's defense and shot a big hole in the wood.

If this hits a person, then you can know with your little toe that the goal will definitely not be easy.

I really couldn't imagine that the Empire actually had such a powerful weapon.

Strictly speaking, the Ottomans actually had muskets.

However, the Ottomans had very strict control over muskets and would not flow into the Arab region at all, allowing those tribes to own.

Moreover, in terms of making muskets, the Ottomans were much worse than the Europeans.

Therefore, in the Ottoman army, the number of musketeers was much smaller than that of Europeans.

It is also for this reason that tribes like Aziz and others have heard of muskets, but have never seen one.

After suddenly seeing the power of muskets and muskets, they suddenly became stunned rustics, which was not surprising at all.

Looking at Aziz and the others' looking like a rustic man, Mabond felt secretly relieved.

Oops!

I just didn't expect that the absolute tyrants in the future would be like rustics.

You should know that in another modern society in time and space, these guys living in the Persian Gulf region are absolutely tyrants.

Because there is amazing wealth buried under the barren desert, it can be said that as long as they are from the ethnic group here, their lives can be said to be very comfortable.

Not to mention those who are in high positions, their lives are even more luxurious.

What are gold jewelry and famous brands? Here they have become a mess.

But now let’s take a look...well, they are far from this.

"Dear Governor, will the soldiers of the Empire use such weapons to fight?"

Aziz asked with a respectful look at this time.

After seeing the military training of the soldiers and feeling something extraordinary about the empire, Aziz already had a rough understanding of it.

It is precisely because of this that he had to be more respectful when facing Mabond.

Mabond nodded proudly: "Yes. Everyone in our empire soldiers will issue a musket to fight. At the same time, they will also provide them with an excellent sword and dagger..."

Speaking of the equipment of the Imperial Army soldiers, it really made Aziz feel envious when he listened to Mabond's story.

A rich man!

This is definitely a tycoon.

I really didn't expect that the empire was so rich.

Ordinary soldiers can get the basic equipment of their tribe warriors so far away from the deserts.

But looking back, if we rely on such a big tree, wouldn’t the tribe behind them have a good life in the future?

You know, why are you a little guy?

Isn’t it just to be able to rely on a capable ‘big brother’?

In the past, they were not lucky, and the eldest brother was the Ottoman, who had ulterior motives.

Now, the Empire should not be like the Ottomans. As long as they do their business faithfully, the Empire will definitely not treat them unfairly, right?

Thinking of this, the empire is rich and powerful, and it is absolutely not better than good for them.

"If I want it, can I buy some weapons on behalf of the tribe?"

Aziz thought for a while and asked with a nervous look on his face.

To be honest, Aziz was not sure about this. He knew at a glance that muskets were the imperial weapon and were absolutely powerful weapons used for combat.

In ordinary countries, combat weapons such as muskets will not be sold casually.

Even if it is like him who already said he wants to surrender.

After all, keep your country strong just in case.

From another perspective, if your tribe masters this weapon, even if the tribe of the alliance wants to buy it, your tribe will not be able to sell it.

So, although Aziz asked, he actually had no idea at all.

Unexpectedly, Mabond smiled and then answered, which made Aziz feel that the gods were open.

"Oh, are you interested in muskets? If it's a small amount, I think there should be no problem. I can make the decision. In fact, you can buy a large number of muskets, but the number of muskets here is not a large number, and there is a certain limit for what can be sold. If you can wait for a while, then even if you want to buy 100,000 muskets."

I've gone there!

Is there such a good thing?

But I really don’t dare to joke about this!

Aziz's heartbeat continued to accelerate, making him feel dizzy.

Originally, he thought the other party would refuse him, but now it seems that this is not the case.

These muskets are powerful. If they can buy equipment for the warriors of the tribe, then the strength of the tribe he is in will be able to be improved by several levels.

So, in dealing with some turmoil and changes in the Kuman area in the future, the tribes can also have a little more self-protection power, right?

"You~ you're not kidding."

Although he had received a response from Mabond, Aziz still couldn't believe it.

After all, how can a weapon with such a powerful musket be sold casually?

However, after receiving Mabond's response again, Aziz had to believe that this was true.

"Don't worry, I don't need to deceive you in this regard. Moreover, a weapon like a musket is also a commodity from our empire and can be sold."

The arms business empire will not fail.

Besides, the muskets sold by the Empire are not those that are now equipped for the Army. However, they have undergone some minor improvements and are not so convenient to use, but they look the same.

After all, the empire must also ensure that it can be ahead of the countries in weapons.

However, if you take out those inferior goods that have undergone some changes, have defects in quality and use and are not easily seen through, then the Empire will not refuse.

This can make a lot of money.

Besides, what is the most profitable country's foreign goods? It must be arms.

Therefore, the empire will not be so stupid and give up such a profitable business.

"I don't know how much you need?"

Mabond could see that the old man following him really wanted to buy a musket.

However, Mabond estimated that the tribe where Aziz is located is only more than 5,000 people. How many muskets can such a tribe buy?

With all your plans, you can buy five or six hundred muskets and it will be a big deal.

Even if they told the tribes they united together to buy together, they would just turn over it for three or four thousand.

This number is really not worth it.

At the same time, you have to consider the purchasing power of these tribes.

You know, the tribes in the desert area during this period were so poor that they were dying.

Because there is no valuable product in the desert, what can these tribes take to buy muskets?

So, based on this consideration, I guess that even if these tribes unite together, they can only buy two or three hundred muskets.

In other words, the tribes behind Aziz and their alliance, each tribe buys dozens of muskets, which is their real purchasing power.

Not to mention, the price of selling muskets out and selling them to the Empire is very high, and even if it is smuggled, it is not cheap.

Based on the above reasons, even if Aziz and his team were bleeding heavily, they would not be able to withstand many muskets.

Of course, Mabond also needs to consider another factor, that is, the trafficking of muskets cannot make the Empire in the Kuman area that is about to be accepted, resulting in the Empire's military deterrence strength deteriorating.

"I wonder what the price of a musket is?"

After calming down his excitement, Aziz began to ask him the most.

Although Governor Mabond said that muskets could be sold, Aziz said that such powerful weapons should definitely not be that cheap.

Sure enough, when Mabond talked about the price of the musket, Aziz immediately took a breath of air conditioning.

A musket costs 60 gold, you can pay for it with gold Louis, Dinar or Cheney... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
