Act 202 Civilian Suit

If the request for railway construction gave Morey III a headache, then Colonel Liu's words would make Morey III and the others ecstatic.

"The Earl knows that Duze has suffered heavy losses in the catastrophe brought by the undead. In order to help Duze recover as soon as possible, the Earl decided to provide Duze with a low-interest loan of 1 million gold coins to him. The specific distribution will be decided by His Holiness."

"1 million...gold coins!?"

Morey III widened his eyes, the huge amount had already made him speechless.

But in fact, he was already considered good. Kadean and others behind Morey III were even shocked by the terrifying number of 1 million and their brains stopped working for a while, and only a full range of gold coins were swaying inside.

As Duze, the emperor of the once most powerful human empire, Morey III was very familiar with his income - if he converted all the coins, grain, magic crystals and other physical objects he received last year into gold coins, there were only more than 47,000 coins in total!

This was because a few top-quality magic crystals were mined by a royal mine!

And now this White Earl actually said that she only had one million gold coins!

That's one million gold coins!

One million!

The exterior wall of the palace has been built for a long time, and the griffin tower has not been sorted out for a long time. By the way, the griffin's equipment has not been changed for a long time!

Well...there are also the surrounding roads that need to be leveled...but since Earl Bai said that he would be responsible for building roads, then this one would be saved.

...

Just when Morey III was already crazily imagining how to spend this million, Colonel Liu poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Your Majesty also pays attention to one thing. These million gold coins can only be used to purchase Chinese materials."

"Purchase Chinese supplies!?"

Morey III was stunned. This is the first time that this loan surcharge that is very common in modern Earth has appeared in Anglia. Emperor Duze has never heard of anyone who would make such a request for his loan.

In fact, it cannot be blamed for Morey III for having little knowledge, because except for those prodigal sons who borrow money for extravagant consumption, Anglia usually has only one purpose of borrowing money - war!

Since it is a loan that serves as war military expenses, it is naturally impossible to buy anything else, so the additional terms of such loans will naturally not appear.

After coming back from surprise, Morey III hurriedly asked, "I don't know what supplies can I buy!"

Morey III was not worried that Baigang would raise the price of supplies. It would be good to buy enough supplies these days, and the price was not too much to consider. What he was worried about was that the White Earl would refuse to provide some important supplies to limit Duze's strength!

Colonel Liu smiled and handed over the list he had prepared long ago.

"The supplies and prices we have prepared are already above. If His Majesty has any requirements outside the list, please tell us. As long as we can provide them, we will definitely not refuse."

Morey III took the list in a nervous mood. Marquis Cardan and others didn't care about any etiquette. They all gathered around and carefully looked at the contents on the list item by item with Morey III.

It's a list, but it's actually about the same thick as a book.

When I opened the first page, the word "grain" above and the detailed list printed in small words below made Morey III breathe a sigh of relief.

The White Earl not only provides common grains such as barley and wheat, but also provides many exotic crops that he had never heard of, as well as many combat rations and canned meat that can be stored for a long time. Even the salt and various spices used for seasoning are also in short supply!

And the most important thing is that all prices are extremely conscientious! Only half of the current prices!

If anyone wants to say that this kind of aid is taking advantage of the situation, then Morey III's comment is only one sentence - please rob me every day!

Then, turning backwards, all kinds of military supplies placed in the second category are!

Both swords, armor and grenades are sold openly! Colonel Liu also said that once Duze is ready, firearms can be sold!

However, there is one thing that confused Morey III - the "civilian suit".

"Barrie Liu, don't know what this so-called 'civilian suit' is?"

Colonel Liu explained: "The so-called civilian suit is the basic equipment provided by the civilians of Duze to fight against the dead. It includes a simple thin plate armor, a war hammer or a two-handed broad sword.

The plate armor is very thin and does not cover the body. However, it is enough to deal with guys like skeleton soldiers and ghosts. It cannot be said that they are completely unharmed, but at least it will not be fatal. Warhammers and double-handed broadswords are also ordinary goods.

Although it was a little shoddy, after these, Duze's civilians would not be able to fight back in front of the undead. After all, the largest number of undead are those low-level people, and more than 70% of the casualties of civilians were caused by these bones."

"Wait...please wait...what do you mean...this set of equipment is prepared for civilians!?"

"That's right, that's why it's called a civilian suit. With armor and warhammers, even untrained civilians should be enough to deal with skeleton soldiers and others, right?"

"It's true that this is true, but... but even the simplest armor is still armor! Do you know how many civilians there are in Duze? Even if each family only has one armed person, there are millions! Are you sure that you can produce it!?"

Colonel Liu laughed. For large-scale industrial production, such things that are not technically available and even rural local workshops can produce large-scale products, not to mention millions of sets, as long as you can afford money, it is no problem to replace the unit with 100 million!

"Please don't doubt the power of our Chinese alchemy! This is nothing to us. By the way, the 5 silver coins needed to buy civilian suits can be deducted from the loan, and you can just let the buyer pay directly. Your Majesty can save money to buy other more needed materials."

"Let those civilians pay?" Morey III frowned. "Although five silver coins are already very cheap, I don't think that farmers who can't even eat enough will have money to buy them."

"There is no need to pay it in one lump sum. Can you pay in installments? And we will do a lot of projects here in Duze at that time. They just need to help us work to get wages, and they should be able to save enough money to buy a set soon."

"It's really that way..." Morey III swallowed. He felt that his brain was not enough. Every civilian had a pair of armor. What's this concept? His Duze could have millions of combat power at once! Even though most of them had not been trained, they were really wearing armor!
