Scene 141 Count White's Full Plate Armor
Seeing that Marquis Kadian and Shirne were both confused, Bai Gang had already become accustomed to this and shrugged, "Okay, don't worry about why you can do it, just know that we can do it. Of course, if you want it, this kind of thing is not impossible to sell."
Marquis Kadian was stunned. This kind of thing should be considered a national weapon, right? How can you sell it if you say it? Not to mention other aspects, just let each fortress be connected at any time, then once you encounter an attack from the undead, wouldn’t you be able to dispatch troops to evacuate the people as soon as possible?
Just this item is enough to save countless lives!
It doesn't matter if Baigang is concerned. High-tech products like this must be sold at a price that is darker than arms such as armor, swords and swords. And if the Duze people develop the habit of using mobile phones and radios, it means that the entire Holy Duze Empire will be one-way transparent to the Storm Base - people from other worlds have no idea about monitoring technology. Moreover, a properly strengthened human empire is also the Storm Base that is happy to see it.
Three days later, Bai Gang's arms arrived, and the reply from Emperor Duze also arrived.
"Earl White, good news, His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to your request. Moreover, he generously stated that as long as he can defeat the offensive of the undead, he can fully compensate the Earl for your military expenditure."
Bai Gang laughed silently, as if he had heard a big joke. He guessed that Emperor Duze probably wanted to show kindness to him. The Duze royal family must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the past hundred years. In such a chaotic era, it would be better to use it out and make more friends with a few more powerful people than to hold so much money in such a chaotic era.
The idea is right, but the problem is that Emperor Duze obviously has no idea about the terrifying military consumption of modern warfare!
Not to mention anything else, the few self-propelled artillery that were lost when visiting the capital of Grohill were not affordable by the kings of the Middle Ages who lived by land, minerals and a little bit of commercial taxes.
"Thank you for your kindness in the Emperor, but there is no need. You can help provide some food at that time. It is best to sell us a batch of magic crystals at a low price, which is enough."
Marquis Kadean really had no idea of saving money for their emperor. He was about to persuade him to show off, but Bai Gang brought the topic to weapons and armor, so the Marquis suddenly had no intention of reimbursing military expenses.
Although the unloading is very simple, even without the help of the indigenous people, Bai Gang deliberately asked the Marquis of Kadean to call the soldiers led by the Marquis to help for the sake of sales.
As wounded, the soldiers of Marquis of Cardan would definitely not do heavy work. They only have one task - unboxing, checking whether the number of items is correct, whether there are any damage or defects, etc.
"Be careful! Be careful!"
The wooden box slammed heavily on the ground with a "clang", and the tired young men were panting - a box of steel plates was not considered a light cargo.
Bai Gang smiled and handed the crowbar to Marquis Kadian and said, "Marquis, how about you opening the first box?"
Marquis Kadean nodded, and he also wanted to be the first to know what the weapons and armor brought by Baigang looked like.
The crowbar inserted into the crack of the board and pried it hard and opened it. It contained a set of armor. Two soldiers took out the armor parts inside one by one and placed them on the ground. After all the armor was taken out, all the indigenous people widened their eyes in surprise.
That's a full-body plate armor!
And unlike common iron armor, this is definitely a full-body plate armor made of high-quality stainless steel!
Although the production process of these plate armors is not very fine due to time. They are basically simple goods that can be stamped with a whole piece of steel plate and cleaned up the burrs, but these armors do not cut corners at all in terms of protection capabilities! Because of the modern material, these armors are not only lighter than the same armor in the medieval era, but also have stronger protection.
Marquis Kadian looked at Bai Gang in confusion and asked, "Earl Bai, have you made a mistake? I did not order armor for the Knight this time."
Bai Gang said: "Ah!? I think your soldiers are very strong, even if you are not a knight, you should be able to wear this set of armor."
"It's not this question, but...but..."
Marquis Kadean was embarrassed to say, but Bai Gang laughed: "Marquis, we are friends, and I admire your loyalty and righteousness very much, so I only need five gold coins for such a set of armor."
"Five gold coins!"
Marquis Kadian screamed in surprise, and the Aboriginal soldiers standing around were also shocked.
Not because it's too expensive, but because it's too cheap!
Although one gold coin can be used to arm a heavy infantry in the seven kingdoms in the south, the price in the turbulent Holy Duze Empire will rise to two gold coins.
But how could the equipment on the so-called heavy infantry be comparable to the set of plate armor in front of you?? The equipment of a typical Southern Kingdom heavy infantry includes breastplate, iron helmet, chain armor shoulder pads, leather armor gloves and short chain armor skirt.
Wealthy soldiers may bring their own armor, while poor soldiers need to pay rent to the lord to rent armor. Weapons are relatively cheaper, usually prepared by the soldiers themselves, so they are often inconsistent. This is also the inevitable result of the lord system. Only those truly wealthy lords can provide unified equipment for their troops, but this is usually ridiculed as flashy. After all, no matter how strong the military formation is, it is difficult to compete with the plural powerful professions, so few lords invest money in unified equipment. They would rather spend money to cultivate their descendants to practice fighting spirit or magic.
The set of stainless steel full-body armor in front of me is essentially different from the so-called heavy infantry armor - from helmet to gloves, it is made of steel plates, and its defense is absolutely amazing! Generally speaking, this kind of equipment is impossible to get without more than ten gold coins! And it must be customized in advance! Now it only takes five gold coins! Or is it a large batch!?
Seeing the expressions of Marquis Cadian and others, Bai Gang couldn't help but smile. These things would definitely be considered expensive if they were in the Middle Ages, but they were really nothing in the era of large-scale industrial production.
In modern society, armor is very expensive because the demand is small. People use it as a handicraft to make it handicraft little by little, but if you go directly to the factory to open a mold without pursuing large-scale production of crafts, the price will immediately drop to a bargain!
However, even if you exchange a set of plate armor for five gold coins, you really can’t make much money. I won’t mention the cost price. How to calculate the shipping cost of the shuttle plane? This is a big loss!
So gold coins are just a means of measurement, and the base refuses to accept them when the transaction is settled! They only need magic crystals!
