Chapter 2 Upper Transaction [2]
"Ha, Ivanov, I want to ask you, if the priests and priests of the Holy See in Latvia are also unfortunately involved in the war at that time, after these people become prisoners, will I give them back to the Holy See or sell them to you as magicians?" Boss Ma didn't say you, but said you. Obviously, he didn't want Ivanov to feel like being spied on. The gap between big and small people is nothing more than that. But Ivanov didn't seem to care about this. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are the most outstanding person in the business I came to the north. Since I had my first business with you two years ago, my position in the family is absolutely unshakable. Gold medal housekeeper... Ha ha, this is the highest evaluation of the children of the concubine."
It's just that Ivanov doesn't care about the name of the gold medal housekeeper. He smiled and said, "You should guess what my family is going to do. Of course, we just know this and will never say it. As long as you have the ability to take the priests and priests of the Holy See in your hands without being intercepted by the Knights of the Holy See, I will ask for as many people as there are. One person for two horses!"
The fat boss looked serious and raised two fingers. He didn't guess Tiger. Does House have the ability to collapse Latvia as a whole? In fact, he knows too much about Boss Ma's strength. This man is more horrible than anyone he meets, 10 million times more horrible. This man is definitely a man that can be inferred by common sense. Whether it's his style or reputational influence, this person is too mysterious and horrible.
Ivanov has always maintained an indifferent and neutral attitude in front of Boss Ma, suddenly directly representing a force, which is a little outrageous, but Ivanov is also very clear that the man in front of him has never been a so-called enemy or ally. He used to be from Tiger. House heard a sentence to explain, that is, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests.
It is so incisive that it makes people wonder if this is the level that the barbarians of the Nile Empire should have. This kind of perseverance comparable to that of top philosophers is admirable.
"Too little! A magician for two war horses? I might as well form these magicians into a servant army and put them in Scandinavia to plunder. Those people in Philland should deeply feel how wonderful it is to be hit by a magician's army in the summer. The horse boss was not moved at all, and then said, "Three war horses!"
Three horses, this is already the lion's big mouth. The equipment of a war horse is enough to arm ten infantry and use twenty infantry to convert them into magicians... It's really unacceptable. Even if a magician is expensive, he is not as expensive as this.
What's more, no one knows what kind of magician the transaction is at that time.
"Your Excellency, I don't doubt what your overwhelming advantage was when you started a war against Latvia. However, how many magicians in Latvia, counting the priests and priests of the Holy See, can there be? Two thousand people? Or 3,000 people? Well, even if he is 3,000, how many of these 3,000 people can form combat effectiveness? Or can it be supplemented on the battlefield? And half of it still needs to be divided. I can't guarantee how much water there is in this half. Ivanov Huotuo is a small boss who is bargaining there. What is very funny is that the problem that the two people are discussing is actually a country that has not been hit by anything.
It's like the lion and the tiger are discussing how to eat mutton, while the sheep are still eating grass leisurely.
Boss Ma sneered and said disdainfully, "You just said your worries, but my worries are also heavy. Don't forget that magicians are a group of people, not sheep. It is very difficult for you to keep them calm and not resist. In my hand, there are the magicians of Valmieira. They have been guarding the mage tower for 15 days, waiting for the so-called reinforcements of the Roma Empire. If I hadn't killed a few disobedient guys in front of them, I'm afraid no one would have been honest.
He paused for a moment and looked at Ivanov with a serious face. Boss Ma suddenly said, "What's more, these people are going to eat and drink. The magician is so expensive. If one or two of them die in my territory, it will be a waste. For those magicians, I have always been delicious, and I'm afraid that they will die.
Ivanov seemed to be worried about something. There were countless thoughts in his mind. He could have delayed things very hard to negotiate. But he doesn't have that much time and is not as beautiful as he thinks. Is it rare to be the deputy envoy of the Slavic Empire and the gold medal housekeeper of the Ivanov family? In the eyes of this short and fat businessman, everything is just a start. What he wants is not just a little bit.
The expansion of ambition made the short fat man calculate too much. Finally, when he looked at Boss Ma, the determination in his eyes was very surprising. Then he said dullly, "Your Excellency, I think I have to figure out one thing. Can you ensure that this transaction becomes unconscious?"
"Humph. If I can guarantee it, shouldn't I assassinate Emperor Nicholas I? In that case, maybe some people will believe that my strength is invincible in the world!" The typical Tamsalu-style scoundrel shirks, but this is also understandable. No one can guarantee that it will be foolproof. However, Boss Ma still said quite vibly, "Isn't it just the Baltic Sea in the north under my control? The construction of the Principality's navy is based on ensuring the safety of fleet trade. At that time, even if someone trades the slave trade at sea, it will not be known.
Boss Ma seems to provide a wonderful idea. Ivanov's eyes lit up, and he looked at Tiger in surprise. House said to himself: This man is getting less and less simple. From the beginning, it seems that I have fallen into his trap. However, this does seem to be a good idea, and no one will ever think of this method.
"But three horses are still too expensive." Ivanov's mouth is loose. His psychological bottom line is not three horses. To this extent, he might as well hire an army to go to West Slav for a big robbery, where there are at least thousands or eight hundred magicians. Three horses... It's not what he can promise or accept.
"Two horses, a set of horse armor, this is the final bottom line. You know, our deal can only be a verbal agreement. Both sides may bite back or not admit it. After all, this is just an empty talk between you and me here. Before the fight against Latvia, all this was empty talk. However, I can be sure that as long as there is even an irreversible conflict within the Roma Empire, I will immediately go south to Latvia. I have prepared 40,000 elites on the east and west lines, which I can tell you very clearly. Boss Ma doesn't care about the threat of a microphone or whether Ivanov has the ability to promote such an unparalleled agreement. There is no doubt that this is a big empire's betrayal of a small country.
Latvia is indeed loyal to the Roman Empire, but he is also loyal to the Slavic Empire. Legally speaking, he is also a vassal of the Slavic Empire. The Slavic Empire is the suzerain of the Kingdom of Latvia, but now, someone will definitely betray this small country.
To Tiger. What kind of situation will House's irritability and indulgence eventually turn into? In fact, Ivanov has thought about it. But he thought about it carefully, and he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing at all. What he has to do is to enable him to gain great benefits and power in the game again and again. That's enough.
Ivanov shook his fat chin, thought about it for a while, and finally thought to himself: If he can get some magicians further at that time, it seems that he can still meet the requirements in terms of interests, then will it be too big?
He then asked, "Your Excellency, what if I need more magicians?" Is it still the same price?
The two people are talking about the return of human life, and at this moment, it seems that there are two dealers buying and selling pork in the market. The expression is much worse, and there is no courage and demeanor of a great aristocrat and a big businessman. This kind of ups and downs that have been entangled for a long time on a small issue are really amazing.
Boss Ma smiled, and the appearance of a profiteer appeared on his face. He whispered, "Mr. Ivanov, this is your point. Throughout Latvia, if there are more than three royal city magicians teaching regiments participating in the war, then in the local troops, the entangled magician resistance force must be more than 1,000 people. With the Kingdom Guard, it should be close to 4,000 people. Including the members of various branches of the Holy See, this number should exceed 6,000. Look, am I right? If you can take out 10,000 horses and 5,000 sets of armor at once, I don't mind giving you all 5,000 magicians. In fact, in my eyes, the importance of magicians is not very high.
Ivanov sneered in his heart: Of course, I know that you firmly believe in the creed of the warrior's iron blood, and I also know that you have conquered many opponents through iron and blood, but don't forget that the most powerful army in the world is definitely not an infantry carrying a sword, but a magician full of magic!
But he would not mock or ridicule at this time. He just pretended to think for a while and then said, "Although it is still a little difficult to accept, Mr. Grand Duke, I have to say that this proposal is very powerful. If I can take out 10,000 horses and 5,000 sets of armor, will you really give me 5,000 magicians?
"Only a lot more." Boss Ma said arrogantly with his nose facing the sky.
At this moment, he has long been complacent. If anyone knows that he has super experimental magicians like Christian and Webb, I don't know how they will feel? Will you laugh badly?
Thinking of the scene of many magic crystal heavy cannons, Boss Ma felt that this was the real deal.
