Chapter 634: Two hundredth collar four

The ambition needs to be supported by strength. It is by knowing this truth that Sundels can mix from a grass root into an internationally renowned arms dealer.
There are no good people in arms dealers, and it is already the consensus of all walks of life. Since reputation is bad, naturally don't want to be high.
In particular, the "known" arms dealers such as St. Dells are enemies all over the world, for example, they have offended the British this time.
For security reasons, many arms dealers dare not reveal their true identity.
"St. Dells" is a typical pseudonym, which means that religion is weak. If the name "St." was used in the Middle Ages, the heresy court would have come to you.
Under normal circumstances, you must make outstanding contributions to the cause of religion before you can be holy. The word "holy" can be added to the name after receiving the approval of the pope.
For example, the hero who regained Jerusalem and received the title of "Holy Land Reclaimer" granted by the Pope can add the word "holy" in front of his name.
Of course, most people don't put the word "holy" in front of their names, they usually put it in front of the title to show glory.
Arms dealers such as St. Dells are clearly inadequate. With his merit, he may qualify for the guillotine.
This is not the kind of life that Sundells wanted. He gave himself this pseudonym in order to one day be "sanctified."
For now, it's still in the foreseeable future. In order to achieve this great life goal, he must be whitewashed before he is eligible to contribute to the cause of religion.
Colonial merchants are only the first step. Unless they can become aristocrats, ordinary colonial merchants are better than arms dealers. They engage in legal trading and can see the light.
Success is full of fluke, but it has been fluke without success. Focusing on the land of the Ethiopians, Sundells also did a lot of preparations.
The information he now holds is a map of Ethiopia's border with Austria and Africa. The information on roads, rivers, forests, mineral resources, indigenous tribes, etc. is clearly marked above. Perhaps the Ethiopian government does not know so much.
For this map, he spent three years in front and back, spent thousands of Aegis, and personally brought surveys in the middle to complete the mapping.
Sundells: "Merdo, how's your PR work going?"
"It's almost done. We bought the minister of Egypt's staff. He promised to find a suitable opportunity to bring land lease to Egypt.
Now that the government of Ethiopia is running out of money, we are just leasing ordinary commercial land, which does not involve sovereignty. It should not be a problem. "Murdo replied
Sovereignty is not involved, that is, it does not need to be related to sovereignty. When the Ethiopian government collapses, those who actually occupy the land can become legal owners.
Regardless of whether others accept it, the Vienna government will recognize his colonial rights anyway. This is enough. As long as it is recognized by the Vienna government, it will not be possible for the British to grab the flames.
As for whether secret means will be used, it depends on whether he can grasp this degree.
If not much, the British are busy sorting out the newly occupied area, and it is estimated that there will be no time to think about it in a little while.
If you are not greedy enough to pick English peaches and provoke them, you must consider how to die.
The colonial merchants who died in the colonial conflict were no longer one or two. Most of those who were eliminated were because they did not control the "greed" and gained more benefits than their own.
Sundells: "Implement it as soon as possible, lest night long dreams. I have a hunch, this time there will be a lot of people eyeing the Ethiopia area, if we are the first to come, we will be busy.
Not all land has colonial value, the essence of colonization is to make money. If you choose the wrong place and cannot make a profit, then selling to the colonial government for cheap is the only option.
Since the establishment of Austrian Africa, tens of thousands of colonial companies have been born. Most of the colonial companies fell down the road, and there were more than a thousand survivors.
Of the remaining colonial companies, more than 90 percent were family businesses, most of which were monopolized by the nobility.
Not to mention the grassroots, even capitalists with strong financial resources are at a disadvantage in this round of competition.
There is no way, colonization needs to be supported by force. In this respect, the aristocracy has the absolute advantage, and the capitalist is not suitable for participating in the war game.
Moreover, well-mixed capitalists have become nobles in the colonial movement. Identity has changed, and so has stance.
The bourgeois source itself is diversified, and a large part of the capitalists are nobles without inheritance, or they are nobles themselves.
These people have never recognized themselves as capitalists, and have always assumed themselves as noble children. The goal of many people's lives is to obtain a title of their own.
Not only Austria, but also the current social climate throughout Europe. Even upstarts in the Americas are chasing noble titles.
Social sentiment affects many people, and Sanders is naturally affected. In terms of making money, there are really few industries that are more profitable than the arms trade.
Merdo reminded: "Mr. Sanders, we have invested very much.
In order to speed up the progress, we need to continue to increase investment, which will put great pressure on cost recovery in the future. "
"Money is not a problem. We can pay the bill with arms, and the cost will naturally come down."
The huge profits of the arms trade are unquestionable. Perhaps the weapons and equipment sold to the Ethiopian government for 1 million Aegis may cost less than 300,000 Aegis. This is the confidence of Sundells.
Merdo replied confidently: "No problem, you can receive good news for up to a month."
...
Public relations The Ethiopian government is only one thing. It wants to establish a foothold in the border area. It also needs the support of the Austrian East African colonial government.
Without a colonial government to withstand the pressure of the British, Sanders doesn't think he can keep the benefits he receives from the Ethiopian government.
Can't you expect the British to comply with international regulations?
"Mr. Sanders, your proposal is very constructive, but why can you guarantee the completion of the task?"
The questioner was the Secretary-General of the Austrian East African Governor, Randallard, who is also the contact of Sundells and the highest level of government officials who can be reached.
As for the Governor of East Africa, unless Sanders is already a noble, he will not personally negotiate these matters.
Sundells: "Her baron, maybe I can't develop a colonial economy, but smuggling is my specialty. This is the most basic survival skill of an arms dealer.
As long as I gain a foothold in the border area, domestic goods can continue to enter Ethiopia and the Sudan, and the colonial government can get more taxes. "
Do one line and love the other.
In the field of professional technology, Sunders is definitely the elite of the industry. He has been engaged in arms smuggling business for more than 20 years and has never been caught, otherwise he would not be able to sit here and talk.
Secretary-General Randall: "I never doubt your expertise, but the trade of ordinary goods is different from the trade of arms.
I believe that you have the ability to transport things over, but how do you sell them? The British and French colonial governments were not fools. A large number of smuggled goods poured in, and they could not fail to investigate. "
After entering the industrial society, Austria's domestic industry and commerce demand for the market increased day by day, and the colonial movement was born under this background.
The colonies of countries in these years are all reserved areas, and foreign goods wanting to enter will be subject to many restrictions.
No one wants to be exploited in this way, and smuggling comes into being. The Vienna government also supports capitalists' smuggling of their goods to colonies in other countries.
Anyway, as long as the tax due in the country is paid, whether other countries can receive the tax will not be considered by the Vienna government.
This is the background of the times, narrowed down in Austrian East Africa. If a large number of Austrian goods flow into the British and French colonies from here, it will also promote regional economic prosperity and increase government fiscal revenue.
The prosperity of the local economy and the increase in fiscal revenue are all official achievements. That's why St. Dells is sure to get the support of the colonial government.
St. Dells said casually: "It's easy, just change the label. For example: change the German on the label to English and French.
I went to the British and French colonies to conduct field investigations. Their control over the colonies was not tight, and it can be said that there were loopholes everywhere.
Many colonial policemen are semi-illiterate. As long as they change the label, they will never know if it is a domestic product.
Based on the principle that one thing is not as good as one thing, as long as you click, these people will pretend that they have not seen anything.
If you want to be more insured, then copy the British and French products directly. With our technical strength, we can produce exactly the same commercial products as British and French.
It is even more difficult to find out. Even if they find that there is a problem with the product, they are likely to suspect these production companies. As far as I know, these companies are also smuggling. "
Secretary-General Randallard nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, Mr. Sanders, you successfully convinced me.
However, I suggest you change your name first, or else the church members will come to your door and things will be troublesome. "
Despite the church's diminished power, their influence in Austria is huge, at least the arms dealer St. Dells cannot afford to mess with.
Randall's reminder surprised St. Dells. Looking back now, he realized how frustrating he was to take the name.
The church didn't come to the door. I am afraid that he, the arms dealer, couldn't get on the table, and was too lazy to come down to find trouble.
After washing, the situation will be different. The higher your status, the easier it is for the name to cause trouble.
Sundalls made a straightforward decision: "Okay, Lord Baron. I wouldn't use that name if it wasn't necessary.
It won't be long before there will be no arms dealer in this world, there is only one colonial merchant named Dells. "
Now that you want to wash white, of course you have to change the vest. Although there is only one word difference between Dells and St. Dels, there are more than five figures in Austria called Dels and only one in St. Dels.
Dels didn't think he changed his name and no one knew him. It is too easy for a real big man to find out these materials, unless he goes to the old forest in the mountains and lives in a seclusion, otherwise he cannot escape.
