Chapter 400, Muddy Waters (A Cup of Water for Coffee, 10,000 Rewards and More)
In the Centaur Galaxy, the central galaxy of the empire, Li Fu has been particularly busy recently, because there are too many things in diplomacy that make Li Fu dizzy.
Ever since the empire fought the Oaks civilization in the Gardner system, it easily killed 50 elite fleets of the Oaks civilization with two fleets, forcing the Oaks civilization to sign the "Gardner Treaty" and cede 100 galaxies to the empire. The well-informed civilization on the sub-spiral arm soon learned that a powerful civilization was rising.
Naturally, many civilized missions have come to the empire in recent years. The Oaks civilization is very powerful on the sub-spiral arm. The Yanhuang Empire, which can easily defeat the Oaks civilization, has naturally become the target of countless civilizations.
In the imperial palace, Li Fu was cordially receiving Arman, the ambassador from the Karan Empire. This Arman was the second most powerful person in the Karan Empire and was the power of the Karan Empire. The largest right-wing prime minister, whose status is the same as that of the imperial cabinet prime minister, this time also came to establish relations with the empire on behalf of the Emperor Kallan.
The battle between the Empire and the Oaks Civilization in the Gardner System shocked the Kalan Empire. The Kalan Empire and the Empire had established formal diplomatic relations a long time ago, but the empire has always kept a low profile, and the Kalan Empire The relationship between them is also the kind of one where the well does not interfere with the river.
As long as the Kalan Empire does not take the initiative to stir up trouble, the Empire will not take the initiative to cause trouble for the Kalan Empire. Therefore, although the two sides have established formal diplomatic relations in the past few decades, their friendship with each other is not very deep.
The Karan Empire even once thought that the Empire was easy to bully and took the initiative to cause trouble for the Empire. However, after being repaired by the Empire's army, it became very honest.
Now, in the battle between the empire and the Oaks civilization, the Karan Empire is really scared. Of course, the Karan Empire is very aware of the strength of the Oaks civilization. The Karan Empire will suffer every time it fights against the Oaks civilization and cannot take advantage of it. No matter how cheap it is, I never expected that this humble neighbor next to me could actually make the Oaks civilization so miserable.
The cession of hundreds of galaxies at one time has never happened before in the history of the spiral arm. This is the first time in history that the Oaks civilization has been repaired by the empire, and its strength is not at the same level.
Therefore, the Kallan Empire immediately sent an ambassador represented by Right Minister Arman to the Empire in person to improve relations and increase friendship. Of course, they also wanted to try to see if they could purchase some arms from the Empire. Weapons and all, the powerful combat effectiveness of the imperial warships is obvious to all the army.
"Dear Your Majesty, the Oaks civilization is the common enemy of our two civilizations. We, the Kallan Empire, hope to purchase some arms and weapons from the powerful Yanhuang Empire to fight against our common enemy, the Oaks civilization."
The atmosphere at the scene was still very harmonious. This time, Arman, the right minister of the Karan Empire, also made sufficient preparations and came with countless gifts for Li Fu. He was also very respectful to Li Fu, and Li Fu naturally did not It might be said that he was reaching out to hit the smiling person, so the two sides had been chatting very well, and Arman also made a timely request to purchase arms and weapons.
"As for your civilization's purchase of arms and weapons, Mr. Arman can discuss it carefully with the Prime Minister of our empire. In principle, our empire is willing to sell arms and weapons."
Li Fu pondered for a while and then nodded slowly. Arms and weapons, interstellar slave trade, and space trade. These three major trades are the most profitable trades in the universe. Among them, the arms and weapons trade related to a strong civilization is one of the three major trades. The hottest and most profitable trade in the world. Now that the empire has officially appeared on the stage of the galaxy, it naturally cannot give up such a profitable trade.
"Great. With your empire's powerful arms and weapons, we will definitely be able to fight against the Oaks better."
The right minister of the Karan Empire, Arman, had always been nervous, fearing that Li Fu would refuse to sell arms and weapons to them. However, after receiving Li Fu's affirmative reply, Arman almost jumped for joy. The arms and weapons of the Yanhuang Empire, It was definitely a leverage, and the Oaks civilization was repaired and bowed its head to sign the "Gardner Treaty" that ceded hundreds of galaxies.
After meeting the ambassadors of the Kalan Empire, ambassadors from the Raymond Empire, Bullard Civilization, Archis Civilization, and other civilizations were also lining up to wait for an interview with Li Fu.
The top civilizations such as the Raymond Empire, Brad Civilization, and Archis Civilization are all powerful civilizations. The strength of the Kalan Empire and Raymond Empire is not too far behind that of the Oaks Civilization. They can all be regarded as level 3 cosmic civilizations, but of course they can only be regarded as the primary stage.
But this Orion spiral arm is so huge. Even the number of civilizations on the sub-spiral arm is in the tens of thousands. The largest number of them are level 2 cosmic civilizations that are similar in strength to the original Earth Federation. These level 2 cosmic civilizations who have received the news He even traveled billions of miles across the void to send a huge mission to the Yanhuang Empire, hoping to purchase powerful arms and weapons from the empire to strengthen his own strength.
Li Fu will be busy meeting the ambassadors of these civilizations tomorrow. The gifts he has received can already be piled up in a square. All kinds of weird and weird things, rare and exotic animals, jewelry, jade, etc. can be used to build an interstellar museum.
…
In the back garden of the Imperial Palace, senior officials of the empire gathered together, talking and laughing among themselves, and they were obviously in a good mood.
"Tsk tsk, this interstellar arms trade is indeed known as the most profitable business. Our empire has an energy cannon with a range of only 10 million kilometers. How much did you sell it to me?"
The Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, Tu Xueliang, seemed a little proud at this time. During this period of time, every civilization would come to the Empire to discuss the purchase of arms and weapons. Tu Xueliang, who was fully responsible for this matter, picked up a bull's knife and killed these severely. Fat sheep delivered to your door.
"I remember that even the energy cannons on the imperial warships, which have an attack range of 30 million kilometers, cost only about 100 million yuan. I estimate that you will buy about 10 billion yuan."
Bai Cai, a leader in the field of imperial energy weapons, estimated with a smile.
"Only 100 times? You underestimate our Prime Minister. I estimate it will be sold for at least 100 billion."
Yu Liang grinned widely. He knew that Tu Xuelia looked honest and honest on the outside, but he was never vague when it came to tricking people. This time the Japanese, the Pan-European Alliance, etc. would be invaded by the Oaks civilization. In fact, it was not It can be said that it was a big hole dug by Tu Xueli.
"Hey, Uncle Yu, you understand me."
Tu Xuelia said with a big grin that he and Li Fu's son and others were of the same generation, so they were all juniors in front of the imperial elders.
"100 billion? My dear, 1,000 times the profit. If you include the discounts they exchange for materials, etc., it can be doubled several times more. This deal is possible."
When other people heard this, they all couldn't help but screamed. Calculating the price alone, it was 1,000 times the profit. However, the empire would definitely not accept the currencies of other civilizations. Therefore, if they wanted to buy the empire's arms and weapons, they had to first transport the empire. The needed materials can be sold by the empire and converted into imperial currency, and then purchased. In the meantime, the empire can make a huge profit. Calculated, the profit is quite terrifying.
"Hey, although we sell it very expensively, these civilizations still flock to it. The energy cannon with a range of 10 million kilometers is a very powerful weapon in the entire sub-spiral arm. It is only available on the space battleships purchased from the other side of the starlight and the battleships of our empire. The weapon is more powerful than this attack range."
"Those level 2 cosmic civilizations are eager to buy more from those who sell iron. Even if they want to increase their strength, there is no guarantee for level 2 cosmic civilizations in the universe. They might be destroyed that day."
Tu Xuelia had a smile on his face. The arms sold by the empire were all obsolete or restricted. As for energy weapons, only energy cannons with a range of 10 million kilometers were sold. This kind of cannon poses no threat to imperial warships, but it is quite a deterrent to those level 3 and level 2 cosmic civilizations.
You must know that the energy cannon produced by the Kallan Empire can only attack 7 million kilometers, and the energy cannon of the Oaks civilization can only attack 8 million kilometers, and its power is far less than the energy cannon of the empire. The civilization on the natural sub-spiral arm is also crazy. Fighting for various arms of the empire.
Although the price is really expensive, it is still worth it. As long as you buy some low-cost weapons, the level 2 cosmic civilization will instantly have the power to intimidate the level 3 cosmic civilization. Once the fish is dead and the net is broken, even the level 3 cosmic civilization can be destroyed. If a level 2 cosmic civilization is lost, it will suffer heavy losses, especially if it relies on space-time ocean currents to defend it, it will be even more difficult.
The reason why Li Fu and the top officials of the empire agreed to sell arms and weapons was, on the one hand, because the arms and weapons trade in the interstellar world was very profitable, and the profits were very considerable. If the empire wanted to develop rapidly, it was absolutely necessary to take advantage of this and rely on it. The huge scissor gap constantly obtains a steady stream of supplies from various civilizations.
Another aspect is naturally to further stir the water on the entire sub-spiral arm. Level 3 cosmic civilizations such as Oaks Civilization, Kallan Empire, Raymond Empire, Bullard Civilization, Archis Civilization, etc. are powerful and have strong connections with each other. The pattern has long been formed, and it will definitely be difficult to shake in a short period of time.
Therefore, the empire must step up the fire and provide powerful arms and weapons to the weak level 2 or level 3 cosmic civilizations, so that they can complain and take revenge, completely muddying the waters of the entire sub-spiral arm, so that they can interact with each other. Only by consuming each other will the empire slowly eat away at the entire secondary spiral arm, thus looking ahead to the Orion main spiral arm.
