Chapter 127 Preferential Purchase Plan Irina was somewhat surprised by the preferential plans offered by the outpost.
The receptionist directly pulled out a detailed list of weapons procurement and upgrades. If purchased in large quantities to equip 20 legion members, the price would be outrageously low.
"If Her Royal Highness purchases so much at one time, we will provide corresponding preferential policies, and the price is very affordable!"
The princess stared at the price displayed above, hesitated and said, "What currency is the new currency mentioned above?"
"This is a currency we issued, and the exchange rate with the currency of the Coman Empire is 1=1."
The receptionist smiled and said, "If you are willing to use this currency, we have a discount!"
This made Princess Irina instantly alert. She had never heard of the new currency before! The gold coins of the Coman Empire have always been in the hands of the royal family. The gold coins issued by Emperor Mavia have been the common base currency of the Coman Empire for decades. Suddenly, a brand new currency that can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis has appeared, and it is still controlled by the outpost. issued, which made her subconsciously feel a sense of crisis.
Princess Irina knew very well what the consequences would be if she handed over this kind of thing.
Losing control of Komen gold coins is a terrible thing!
But even though Irina thought very clearly, the smiling receptionist in front of her made it impossible for her to say no.
"But... I don't have enough gold coins in my hand."
Irina looked at the exquisite weapons produced by the industrial assembly lines and said helplessly: "I have not ascended the throne yet. The south of the Coman Empire can no longer collect taxes, and the north is still controlled by Rono..."
Most of the money she had on hand now came from Lakeside City and Brest City, and most of it was spent on downsizing the legion in Brest City. The total she has left in her hand now is only [-] gold coins.
If all the weapons and equipment in front of us were purchased to replace the legion weapons in Brest City, at the price of two gold coins for one, at least one hundred thousand Koman gold coins would be needed.
Princess Irina suddenly had the idea of giving up, but before she could say anything, the head of the weapons research institute had already walked out.
"Then just pay part of it upfront."
The person in charge motioned for the receptionist to go ahead and said with a smile: "The receptionist must have told you that the Weapons Research Institute supports interest-free loans and installment payments. You can pay a certain amount first. Ten thousand gold coins, take these things and use them first.”
Irina had never had such an experience, so she said in confusion: "Then the subsequent payment..."
“You can definitely wait until the taxes are collected before talking about repaying this part of the money.”
"Even if there are no taxes, you can still use labor to repay this part of the payment - for example, mobilizing some people from the Coman Empire to help us with our work."
The person in charge smiled and gave various ending plans: "We will even be responsible for the food and drink of these people. They will also be repaying debts for the empire, killing two birds with one stone. This should be a good solution, right?"
Princess Irina's eyes lit up, she had never thought of this method!
And for the princess who was almost penniless at this time, the most indispensable thing was probably people.
She nodded towards the person in charge and immediately agreed to purchase new equipment for the weapons research institute in this way.
The person in charge skillfully picked up a spear from the display stand in front, stroked the extremely smooth material of the handle, and said: "Think about it, Your Highness, a weapon made of this kind of material will not be used against the North's weapons." The weapons in the hands of those armies will create a crushing advantage."
"At that time, relying only on such weapons, the 20 legions in Brest City will be enough to eliminate everyone in the northern royal city of Selia." Princess Irina also took out a small handful from the table The long sword, although the blade is light, the sharpness of the blade is far superior to any long sword in the Coman Empire.
She looked at the perfect shape of the sword and admired the technology mastered by the outpost.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to find out when I come here today."
Princess Irina suddenly asked the person in charge in standard Chinese: "General Hikaru of Brest City showed me a set of special armor given by you. I saw that the instruction manual said: 'Individual melee armor'."
"This thing should also be developed by your research institute, right?"
After listening carefully, the person in charge immediately smiled and nodded: "Hikaru actually heard someone say that the institute provided some extraordinary weapons and equipment, and specially asked someone to come here to ask for it."
"We once designed a set of armor for your warg leader Lange, called the Fighter Armor. After wearing it, the combat power of Lange's leader was greatly increased. I guess General Hikaru came here after seeing this scene. .”
The person in charge did not mean to deny it at all, and said with a smile: "General Hikaru said at that time that he also wanted to have a set of special armor like this, so we gave him a set of special armor that was still under testing. .”
Princess Irina frowned slightly and said, "But that thing is a trial version, won't there be any problems?"
“There are no mature styles, everything is a trial version.”
The person in charge explained: "The technology is very mature, the trial version is very stable, and there is a high probability that it will be the final version."
Irina was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In that case, can the outpost provide us with more armors like this?"
She had a sincere attitude and a sincere look on her face: "I think the effect of General Hikaru is very good after wearing it. If all my bodyguards wear this kind of armor, or if all the soldiers of a certain legion wear this kind of armor... …”
The person in charge looked at Irina, smiled and shook his head.
He said to the princess Irina: "Your Highness, this kind of armor is not an ordinary long sword or spear, bow and arrow, after all."
"This special armor combines many of our new technologies. For your country, this technology is absolutely crushing. The funds required to manufacture a set of such armor are also very high. , I’m afraid it’s not something you can afford at this stage.”
These equipment were far stronger than the legion's standard new weapons, and the Weapons Research Institute had no intention of selling them from the beginning.
In fact, the technology of these individual melee armors has become mature for the weapons research institute, and the cost of manufacturing a set can basically be controlled at around 20.
But because the armor itself uses new materials, which contain a large amount of metal minerals from other worlds, the armor is extremely precious in both worlds.
Princess Irina glanced at the person in charge with some reluctance and said, "Can I still buy some in the way you said before?"
"That kind of installment or interest-free loan."
"The Coman Empire is full of people, just tell me how much labor is needed!"
