018 Transaction

Martin Clive's face turned happy after hearing this.

Originally, when Joseph was there, the mayor of Charles Town was a puppet. The mayor of the previous town was simply promoted by Joseph and was cleaned with Joseph... Oh no, he was killed by the rioters!

There is a huge power vacuum in Charles' town now, and there is no way to see if you rely on military control. Once military control is abolished, problems will immediately arise.

As a local in Charles Town, Martin is also the president of the local business guild. He has huge connections and resources. Once he becomes the mayor, he will soon be able to fill the vacant position in Charles Town and put Charles Town on the right track.

Of course, this also means that Martin can replace Joseph’s original position!

The premise is that the Charles family will no longer be airborne a general manager like the Supreme Emperor.

Now, Li Wei, the direct heir of the Charles family, personally promised that Martin had anything else to worry about?

However, Martin knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

"Thank you for your kindness, I wonder what you can serve you?"

Westerners are not like Easterners. They speak in a twists and turns everywhere, and they even push them around and appear polite and modest. Here, if you refuse, you really refuse and others will not ask more questions!

It is simple and straightforward to the eyes of Orientals. Of course, Westerners also think that Orientals are hypocritical. They can only say that the ethnic cultures of both sides are different and their understandings are different.

Martin knew that Levi could not give him the position of mayor for no reason. The mayor of Charles Town is different from other towns. This is the core of the Charles family and governs the entire Charles family territory. If Count Charles had not been in the mood to manage the territory, Charles Town would have long become Charles City!

Of course, for the aristocrats of the Count level, instead of spending time and energy to manage the fiefdom and being suspicious of the monarch, it is better to go directly to the capital Paris to lick the French king. The money will definitely be much more than to manage the territory!

Paris is the "golden city" of the Kingdom of France!

Almost all the nobles of the middle and upper classes of the Kingdom of France lived in Paris and the Palace of Versailles.

This is actually a constraint under the autocratic system.

"Now there are signs of civil strife in the Kingdom of France. In order to ensure the security of the territory, I have to expand my army a lot.

After the second phase of the training, I will soon start the third phase of the expansion of the military, with one thousand people, but now the Charles family territory has been looted by the rebels, and mice can be run away in the warehouse. There is really not much money to buy a large amount of arms and supplies to expand the military.

Mr. Clive is also an old man from Charles Town. He serves as the mayor and serves as the president of the Commercial Guild. He has huge connections in Charles Town. I hope you can help me solve the equipment problem of the third phase of the Thousand-Man Line infantry."

After hearing this, Martin couldn't help but take a deep breath. This Li Wei was really a lion spoke!

One thousand flintlock guns and matching ammunition are the rhythm of emptying your inventory.

Still the kind that doesn't pay for a copper plate!

However, the bait thrown by the other party was also very sweet. The mayor of Charles Town, who was fully responsible, was truly one person and more than ten thousand people in the Charles family territory!

The total population of the Charles family territory is definitely more than 10,000 people!

The most important thing is that I can still hold Li Wei's thick leg tightly. The other party has trained the troops of 2,000 people, and another group of 3,000 people!

Even though these three thousand people were recruits who had only been trained for one month... but their mental outlook was still good. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy he had been given by Li Wei, and he was loyal to Li Wei without asking for any reward.

This means that Li Wei’s thick legs are very promising!

What's more, Li Wei said rightly, although the Paris Revolution has been victorious, the Constitutional Assembly either quarrels or fights in groups all day long, and it is even against King Louis XVI.

You should know that the current constitutional convention is a constitutional monarchy party in control, and King Louis XVI has a veto power!

The aristocratic class and church leaders were busy snatching the fruits of the victory of the revolution, and the bourgeoisie was unwilling to hand over it. After the victory of the Great Revolution, the citizens of Paris were still hungry and roaring. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that France is in danger now!

Not to mention, foreign forces led by Britain were very dissatisfied with the Paris Revolution and repeatedly demanded the restoration of King Louis XVI's rights. They secretly had contact with the Royalist Party, which had become a semi-public secret.

The Chinese kings in the Paris Revolution were defeated in one of their own. Why did they still retain the lives and even power of Louis XVI's family?

It is because of fear of foreign interference forces.

Nowadays, Europe is still in the general trend of the monarchy and feudal system. Even the most enlightened Britain has its own king. Now France’s revolution against the king is a provocation to the monarchy system of the entire Europe!

The monarchs of various countries are not fools, so how could they not see how contagious the revolution is!

The Voltaire's group became wanted criminals because the ideas they spread were not liked by the monarchs and nobles.

However, the monarchs of European countries are also cruel and ruthless. They are cracking down on the spread of revolutionary ideas in their own country, but they are quite tolerant of thinkers and philosophers in other countries. They also take the initiative to provide shelter, preparing to wait for the opportunity to put them back and launch a revolution and overthrow the enemy's regime.

In this regard, Britain undoubtedly did the best, because in the eyes of thinkers of various countries, the British constitutional monarchy system is much more open-minded than the monarchy of other European countries. In today's European revolutionary thought, those who support the constitutional monarchy system far exceed those who support the republic presidential system.

If the American War of Independence had not been successful, the so-called republicans would have been born in all countries.

However, the victory of the American War of Independence was supported by the French Kingdom. France was most severely impacted by the American republican system. You should know that many French troops landed in North America to help the Americans fight against the British. After returning to China, these people knew what the republican system was.

Therefore, after the Paris Revolution, there have always been voices of republicans in the Constitutional Convention.

Martin pondered for a moment and pondered: "I can try to win a thousand flintlock guns and a hundred rounds of matching ammunition for each gun."

One gun and a hundred rounds of ammunition seem to be quite large, but if you count the training consumption, it will be very small!

Li Wei shook his head: "The equipment I am talking about is not only firearms and ammunition, but all the ammunition consumed by thousands of soldiers, as well as the one-month training they have spent!"

After hearing this, Martin's face suddenly became embarrassed, which meant that the soldiers' military uniforms, beds, quilts, kettles and other debris, as well as training ammunition and food!
