Super Chief

Chapter 457: Conditions of the Fernando family

"Dear Chief Chief, it is a great honor to see you again. I will send you the most sincere blessings. At the same time, I also bring my father's greetings to you." Felisa said hello in an elegant salute.

At this time, Felisa Fernando has completely lost the embarrassment that was almost frozen to death in the wilderness. He is now a perfect noble son.

I have to say that Felisa really gave birth to a good skin, which even if Shixiong lived for two lifetimes, he had to admit it. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that the guy who was almost frozen to death in the wilderness, after he was dressed up, would turn out to be such a handsome young man, definitely more handsome than most movie stars in later generations.

The most important thing is the noble aura that exudes from this guy, which is definitely a temperament that only real nobles can cultivate.

Shi Xiong leaned slightly, expressing his gratitude to Count Fernando.

"Dear Chief Chief, I have some other things I want to discuss with you this time." After sitting down, Felisa happily said his purpose, "My family wants you. We can pay the price of two thousand war horses for the technology of improving the hand-pushing ballista and the technology of cigarettes in your hand."

Shi Xiong gave a slight click, and said, "Sure enough."

It seemed that the Ferguson rifle alone could not satisfy the appetite of the third largest arms dealer in the Kingdom of Spain. The Count Fernando also wanted to use the "improved hand-pushing ballista" with an effective range of more than 500 yards.

In fact, Shi Xiong was mentally prepared for this request from Count Fernando. After all, when the mad bull blocked the Semino-Spain coalition on the Cree’s southeast defense line, Shixiong lied about the "improved version of the ballista" grenadier, but the Semino-Spanish coalition directly collapsed. . At that time, both the Major General Carlos and the Major Felisa had witnessed the power of the bullet.

Last winter, the reason why the Major Felisa was almost frozen to death in the wilderness was to throw a bullet.

Now that Major Felisa has returned to his freedom, with the support of his father and family behind him, it would be strange if he didn't want to use the bullet-throwing technique anymore.

But why does his family still want cigarette technology? Does the Fernando family want to open up new markets while doing the arms trade?

Shi Xiong pondered for a moment, and then slowly and resolutely shook his head and said: "Major Felisa, as I said bluntly, the price of two thousand horses cannot be exchanged for these two techniques."

"Master Chief, these are two thousand horses, worth more than 80,000 Spanish gold dollars! Isn't that enough?"

In this era, Spanish eight-character gold coins, Piast gold coins, and Spanish gold dollars are widely used even in the British colonies of North America. The exchange ratio between these three currencies is approximately 1:1:1, but Among them, the Spanish gold dollar is the most widely circulated in the British colonies of North America.

At this time in Europe, the British pound is not the most valuable currency. At least the Royal Rose Gold Coin and Monarch Gold Coin in the UK are more valuable than the British pound. In addition, the Spanish Doblon coins are also more valuable than the British pound. The exchange rate between various Spanish gold coins in this era is approximately 1 Doblond gold coin = 4 Pistor gold coins = 16 Spanish gold dollars, and 1 pound sterling in this era is approximately equal to 1 Pistor gold coin.

In other words, 1 pound sterling is approximately equal to 4 Spanish gold dollars.

Now based on the value of a war horse of about ten pounds, two thousand war horses are 20,000 pounds, which is almost 80,000 Spanish gold dollars.

This figure is definitely a huge sum of money in this era. Even if the Fernando family is very rich, it is impossible to spend so much money all at once.

However, the Fernando family has large territories in Mexico and the South American continent. In the family territory, not only a large number of grains and cash crops such as sugar cane and tobacco are produced, but also a large number of horses are domesticated. So they can still do it with war horses as rewards.

This information was already understood by Shi Xiong when Major Felisa was a prisoner.

Therefore, Shixiong only thought for a moment before vetoing this condition set by the Fernando family.

Felisa probably didn’t expect Stone Xiong to refuse so happily, but he still asked with a wry smile after being taken aback: "Chief, the price is not low anymore. Two thousand qualified war horses, we There are not so many horses replaced in the entire Spanish Kingdom in one year. Moreover, this is the greatest sincerity that our family can show..."

Shi Xiong smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Felisa's words, and then said: "Dear Major, I am not dissatisfied with this condition put forward by your family. The main reason is that I have better weapons to sell to you. Well, how do you say it? This weapon not only has the effective range of an improved version of the hand-push ballista, but it is also much lighter than the hand-push ballista, and one person can carry it everywhere. The most important thing is this kind of weapon. The weapon fired is not a hand grenade, but a real grenade that can bloom. How about it, Major Felisa, do you want to think about this kind of weapon?"

These words directly squeezed Felisa. With an unbelievable expression on his face, he stunned for a while before asking: "Respected Chief Chief, what is the effective range, reloading speed, and power of this weapon? Can you tell me in detail?"

Shi Xiong shook his head and said, "I'll tell you where is it that makes you more clear? Come, UU read www.uukānshu.com, my dear Felisa, come with me, and I will show you this epoch-making experience. The power of weapons."

Walking out of the gate of the Grey Palace, Shi Xiong saw more than a dozen heavily armed Spanish soldiers chatting with the tribal warriors at the door. Although the words on both sides could not understand each other, it was like a chicken talking to a duck, but This does not prevent the fighters on both sides from using sign language and body movements to express their meanings.

Seeing the chief and the major come out together, these fighters immediately stood up straight. Stone Xiong and Felisa waved at them, meaning they would not be allowed to follow, then Stone Xiong blew a loud whistle, and after a while, the red fire phoenix ran over from a distance.

"This is really a good horse to pick one out of a thousand! Chief Chief, this horse is amazing!" Felisa's little **** immediately followed, and the stone bear laughed and watched Felisa get on his horse. After that, he turned on Huofeng, and the two drove their horses to the west of Monongahela.

The first group of the Burst Bear Brigade is now stationed in the valley where the Red City Alliance is located in the west, and although the valley where the Red City Alliance is located is far smaller than Monongahela, there are few people living there, so Ferry was given from there. Sa showed that tossing barrels are the most suitable.
