Chapter 66 We Need Off-Road Vehicles

The rainproof cloth covering the trunk of the large freight magic locomotive was pulled away, revealing the packs of white packages that filled the trunk.

Marquis Southgate took a deep breath, smelled the special smell coming out of the white package, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "These are all fertilizers?"

Xu Yi nodded with a smile: "Yes. Lord Marquis, these ten carts contain a total of 200 tons of fertilizers, all of which come from the Moon Shadow Tribe. Elder Lisanya of the Moon Shadow Tribe asked me to ask you a question for her when I see you. it is good."

"The Elf Elder?" The corner of Marquis Southgate's mouth twitched, with a strange expression on his face.

When he was inspecting the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Standing before, Marquis Southgate was extremely shocked when he learned that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was actually connected with the elves, and even established a chamber of commerce in cooperation with the elves.

Later, Marquis Southgate felt even more weird when he learned that chemical fertilizers, an important commodity for the growth of crops, were completely controlled by the Moon Shadow tribe, an elf tribe.

Make a deal with the elves?

This is really a very fresh experience.

But later, when he actually contacted the representatives of the elves sent by the Moon Shadow Tribe to discuss the purchase of fertilizers, the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe were almost the same as human businessmen except for their appearance.

If you really want to compare, the elves of the Moon Shadow tribe are more detailed than the human merchants in detail, so that Marquis Southgate can hardly find any mistakes or omissions.

The elder Lisanya of the Moon Shadow Tribe had never met Marquis Southgate before, but now because of this transaction between the two parties, Xu Yi specially asked Xu Yi to bring him greetings. This is really a standard way of human communication. It is completely inconsistent with the previous style of the proud elves.

"Could it be President Xu just said that casually..." Marquis Southgate shook his head. Putting aside these random thoughts, he and Xu Yi checked the past one by one, and confirmed that all the ten large freight magic locomotives were filled with urgently needed fertilizers, and they were immediately filled with joy.

Seeing that the season of spring plowing is about to come, this spring plowing not only reclaimed 300 hectares of farmland with the assistance of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but now also has a large number of chemical fertilizers to support it. According to the data provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Southgate The data obtained by the Marquis de Marquis himself in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Standing. Then when the autumn harvest comes, the wheat production on his private land can be increased by at least one thousand tons.

This is a very astonishing figure.

One must know that in the past, his private land could only receive more than 400 tons during the annual autumn harvest at most, but now it can be more than doubled at once, which is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

If the Marquis Southgate hadn't seen it with his own eyes in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Standing, he probably would never have believed such an exaggerated thing.

After a brief inspection, Marquis Southgate waved his hand and asked the servants who had been prepared to assist the convoy to unload the goods, while he invited Xu Yi into the private manor.

"President Xu, the people from the military department arrived yesterday, and they are waiting inside now." He was about to enter the living room. Marquis Southgate reminded Xu Yi in a low voice.

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback, thinking that the people in Marlowe's headquarters were very active. He actually made a special trip here one day earlier to wait for his arrival.

Compared with the arrogance and negligence of the Candela Empire, the performance of the Marotti Army can be described as full of sincerity.

Entering the living room, I saw three men wearing Marlowe uniforms sitting separately. Seeing Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate coming in together, they all set their eyes on Xu Yi.

Marquis Southgate laughed at the right time and said, "Come on, President Xu, let me introduce you. These three are from the Imperial Army, and they belong to the Military Intelligence Agency, the Logistics Agency, and the Operations Department respectively. Staff."

After saying this, Marquis Southgate introduced the names of the three of them again, and then introduced Xu Yi to the three of them.

"President Xu, I've heard about your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be much younger than I thought. It really surprised me."

The first person to reach out and shake hands with Xu Yi was Viscount Eto'o from the logistics department of Marlowe's army.

Compared with the slightly scrutinizing attitude of the other two, this Viscount Eto'o's attitude towards Xu Yi is much more enthusiastic.

Xu Yi shook hands with him with a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are young or not, what matters is whether the things of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are easy to use, isn't it?"

Viscount Eto'o laughed and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, President Xu is a straightforward person, I like it very much. President Xu, I hope we can cooperate smoothly."

Xu Yi smiled and nodded.

After greeting each other, the two sides sat down respectively, and after a few chats with Marquis Southgate, they quickly brought the topic to the point.

"President Xu, today the three of us are from the Logistics Department, the Combat Staff Department, and the Intelligence Department. I think you should be able to see the importance that the Imperial Army attaches to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I hope that during today's conversation, Xu President, you can show some sincerity," Viscount Eto'o said.

"The Principality of Standing is more than 2,000 kilometers away from here. If there is no sincerity, why should I go so far in vain?" Xu Yi smiled.

"Well, that's good." Viscount Eto'o nodded slightly in approval. "President Xu, since I am the first to speak, let me express my intention on behalf of the Logistics Department."

Xu Yi made a please gesture.

Eto'o pondered for a while, and continued: "The focus of our logistics department is slightly different from that of other people in the military department. Compared with military magical machinery, we pay more attention to things that can improve logistics supplies. Among them, I personally feel the most What I am interested in are those large freight magic locomotives parked outside now."

Xu Yi smiled, not surprised.

Compared with traditional horse-drawn carriages, the advantages of freight magic locomotives in transportation are obvious.

Since Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launched the magic locomotive, it has only been more than three years, and there are almost no carriages in several surrounding countries such as the Kingdom of Lampari, the Principality of Standing, and the Kingdom of Rulson.

Even if there is, it is mostly used by some people for nostalgia.

As for the nobles who used to love carriages very much, they have all been replaced with more comfortable and fast magic cars.

As for freight transportation, the Filson Transport Chamber of Commerce, which has fully refitted the freight magic locomotive, has now become the largest transportation and logistics chamber of commerce in those countries, and other chambers of commerce that have needs for logistics transportation have also replaced freight carriages with freight. Magic locomotive.

Last year alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold more than 37,000 large-scale magic freight locomotives, and more than 52,000 medium-sized magic freight locomotives. On the contrary, the sales of small magic freight locomotives suitable for home use were average. Ten thousand vehicles.

But if you add it up, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce earned a huge profit of more than one million gold coins from the freight magic locomotive last year, which can be regarded as a very important profit point for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"With all due respect, although I very much hope to provide you with a large number of large-scale magic freight locomotives, given the current road conditions in your country, even if equipped with large-scale magic freight locomotives, I am afraid it will be difficult to fully utilize them." Xu Yidao .

Marquis Southgate and the three of them looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

Xu Yi's words were blatantly contemptuous of the Maro Empire, but they had nothing to say.

The three of Eto'o personally went to the newly built road in the southwestern province of the Maro Empire to conduct a field inspection. After seeing the smoothness of the road, even they themselves could no longer bear the potholes in the Maro Empire. What is the so-called official way to refute Xu Yi.

The Marquis of Southgate has seen the convenience brought by the road as early as in the Duchy of Drake, and later in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Standing, he has personally experienced the huge traffic brought by the road traffic network many times. Ascension, let him have a deep understanding of this.

He has long appealed to the empire to lay more roads and improve the road traffic conditions in the empire, but he has not attracted attention.

Now that Xu Yi said this, he actually agreed with it very much in his heart, but he just supported it out of embarrassment.

"Cough... Regarding the paving of roads, the empire is actually very concerned. President Xu doesn't have to worry about it. But this has nothing to do with what we are discussing today. President Xu, you should know that our logistics department needs to purchase these The large cargo magic locomotive is obviously for the purpose of providing logistical supplies to the armies everywhere. Since it is used by the army, it is certainly impossible to ensure that there are roads everywhere. So I would like to ask, these cargo magic locomotives produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce , can it run normally on relatively bad roads?" Eto'o asked again.

"If you're referring to those large cargo magic locomotives outside now..." Xu Yi paused for a moment, then shook his head slowly to meet the four people's concerned gazes. "I'm sorry, although these large cargo magic locomotives can operate normally on ordinary poor-quality roads, they don't have very strong off-road capabilities, so it is difficult to fully meet your requirements with them."

"Is that so?" Eto'o let out a breath of disappointment. "If this is the case, then there are far fewer places where these large magic freight locomotives can be used. After all, the army of the empire may appear in a harsh environment at any time, and it is impossible to be connected by roads at any time."

Xu Yi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, Viscount Eto'o, I just said that these large freight locomotives outside can't fully meet your requirements, but it doesn't mean that other freight locomotives can't do either."

Eto'o's eyes lit up immediately: "You mean..."

Xu Yi smiled and took out a document from his bag: "Look, this is a magic motorcycle with super off-road capabilities that our chamber of commerce is developing. Requirements for normal operation..." (To be continued..)
