Chapter 371: Fairs and Fundraising (91/104)

The expressions on the faces of several messengers from neighboring countries were also shady and sunny. This terrible weapon appeared, and it appeared in other countries, which was definitely not good news for their own countries.

Whether it is the powerful spear or the short spear that can shoot continuously, they are the focus of their attention.

These people suddenly felt that it was necessary to contact the country as soon as possible, inform their king of this situation, and make some plans as soon as possible.

However, Charles VI was not an incompetent person. He quickly ordered the closure of Viana and prevented everyone from passing the message on the grounds that the banquet was about to celebrate January. At the same time, he also used some methods to put the foreign envoys under house arrest.

After all, it is in Vienna, and the Habsburg family has absolute authority here. The emperor ordered that the envoys had no choice but to accept this fact reluctantly.

On the other hand, many nobles in China also began to inquire about the source of these terrible weapons.

Eugen did not conduct any explicit publicity, but just secretly sent someone to release some rumor. He knew that the more he hid some news, the more he could attract other people's attention, and at the same time, the more people could remember it clearly.

In this way, with Eugen's secret promotion, the news that Lebir City had new weapons gradually spread. With the influence of competitive competitions, the news soon reached the ears of most imperial nobles.

Moreover, with these news, there is another important news, that is, Eugen intends to sell some of his weapons.

When all the nobles heard that Eugen wanted to buy weapons, they immediately became excited. Everyone wanted to make their power stronger. Eugen's weapons were undoubtedly the fastest way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Everyone is afraid that they will fall behind, and they will be beaten if they fall behind. If their enemies get these weapons, wouldn’t they be unable to sleep or eat?

In this way, many people began to contact Eugen and used various channels to inquire. They wanted to buy a batch of such weapons. Not only Eugen, but also Eugen's subordinates Alan and Simon, the number of people they had contact with each other every day began to increase.

At this time, a large number of weapons had already been in stock in the warehouse of Ougen Lebir, and they could be sold as commodities at any time.

However, he deliberately held everyone's appetite and just said that the first batch of weapons should be given priority to the royal family, so that everyone could wait for news about the second batch of weapons.

All those who came to inquire about buying weapons were sent back by Eugen for this reason.

Of course, this cannot be said to be Eugen lying to them again, because he really provided a batch of weapons for free to the royal family and directly gave them to Charles VI.

Therefore, Charles VI felt more and more pleasing to Eugen. In the competitive competition, the royal family improved their majesty because of Allen sent by Eugen and earned nearly five million Kielder gold coins, which benefited considerably.

But on the other hand, Eugen won nearly 20 million Kielder gold coins through betting, which was a huge sum. Even Charles VI was a little moved after hearing this, and wanted to find a few reasons to deduct part of it.

But later Eugen took the initiative to send a batch of weapons, and he felt embarrassed to deduct it. After thinking about it, Eugen finally asked the batch of gold coins to transport them back.

Eugen's city of Lebre is now in a critical period of development. With such a batch of capital injection, the benefits are naturally self-evident.

Except for most of the weapons provided by Eugen to the royal family, a small number of them were soon spread.

This is also impossible to avoid. The military system is too large and even a bit bloated. There will naturally be some loopholes in such a system. With loopholes, capable people can easily get some guns from it.

When the nobles who obtained the weapons tried Eugen's weapons, their surprise immediately increased by more than a dozen levels. Compared with these weapons, the muskets equipped in their own army were simply not as good as fire sticks.

The nobles all fantasized about how their combat effectiveness would be improved if they were equipped with such a batch of weapons.

As a result, the nobles became more looking forward to Eugen's weapons. Some of the great nobles even spoke out to spend tens of thousands of gold to buy Eugen's weapons.

This kind of scene is naturally something Eugen is happy to see. What he wants is this effect, and he wants to bring the advertisement of Lebre City weapons to everyone's hearts.

So, five days after the competition ended, Eugen finally released the news that a large-scale trade fair would be held in the banquet hall of the Vienna Empire Hotel in three days, and a large number of Lebre City weapons would be sold, and all the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire would be invited to participate in it.

On the day the news was released, it caused a sensation in the aristocratic circle and everyone was in agitation. Many great nobles began to mobilize funds overnight, hoping to make some big acquisitions at this trade fair.

Seeing that the atmosphere had almost been brewing and everything had already entered the track, Eugen asked someone to arrange the banquet hall well and took some more heavyweight goods from the city of Lebour. This time, he wanted to give all the imperial nobles a big surprise.

Finally, it was the day for the fair to be held.

Early in the morning, a large number of luxury carriages gathered at the entrance of the Vienna Empire Hotel, with flags flying in the air, and people wearing luxurious clothes came and went, which was dazzling.

On this day, Charles VI ordered the royal guards to enter the fair to maintain order. These guards in royal armor are symbols of a certain identity. With them here, it means that the royal family also supports this matter.

Then, the nobles holding invitations walked into the venue of the trade fair. After they saw clearly the exhibits separated by the glass cabinet, they could no longer maintain their calmness as a noble.

New rifles, pistols, new gunpowders, mines, and grenades are all displayed in front of everyone, and even huge steam engines are there. This is the latest research result of Lebre City and is also displayed.

In addition, there are more than a dozen inventions of various types, only a small number of which are related to weapons, and most of the rest are major inventions related to life. Faced with these novel mechanical creations, the nobles present could not see their purpose at all, and could only guess based on their feelings.

Fortunately, there is a full-time introduction to the maid wearing a short skirt in front of each exhibition counter.

In fact, these maids were also trained by Lebre City. The clothes they wore were all designed by Eugen and were full of modernity.

If I want to be serious about how to invent it... Then I can't do it... (Spread my hands~) There was a certain industrial foundation in the 18th century, so let's just set the others.
