Sakai Hoshino looked at Young Master Liu with confusion and asked softly: "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai Hoshino's confused look, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
"Hoshino, to tell you the truth, Dalong did have a lot of weapons and equipment in stock at first, but now as soon as the 100,000-strong army goes out, all the weapons and equipment are equipped for them.
What is the concept of a hundred thousand troops? You have witnessed it with your own eyes today.
Our dragon has consumed 100,000 troops at once. Hoshino, think about it for yourself, how can I get the troops to reward you now?
Hoshino, it's not that I don't want to reward your Japanese mission with Dalong's weapons to help your brother get through this difficulty, but I really don't have any extra weapons in hand to reward your mission.
Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we still have a deep friendship. Now that you and I are reunited after a long absence, I am even more excited.
I heard you were in trouble, why wouldn't I want to help you get through it? How can I not feel distressed when I see you crying and helpless?
However, although I want to help you, I am unable to do so! "
Sakai Hoshino stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi's helpless and apologetic look, and was speechless for a moment.
Although she had never been on the battlefield in Japan, under the influence of her brother Sakai Kazuko, she also knew what it meant to consume 100,000 troops at once.
It can be said that even if all the coalition troops under his brother's command were added together, they would not be able to consume 100,000 troops at once.
It is indeed easy to say the words "one hundred thousand troops", it is just a matter of touching the upper lip to the lower lip, but it is extremely difficult to truly have a hundred thousand troops.
And it is even more difficult to equip all the 100,000 troops with sophisticated military equipment.
Sakai Hoshino looked at Liu Mingzhi with sad and complicated eyes. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
It turned out that Liu Jun didn't want to help him, but that he wanted to help himself, but he couldn't come up with the weapons and equipment to reward his mission in a short period of time.
Regarding what Liu Mingzhi said before, Sakai Hoshino did not have the slightest doubt in his heart, because today he saw with his own eyes the scene of a hundred thousand troops going into battle.
That is a troop that is so well-equipped, so majestic, and so powerful!
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. It was precisely because he saw with his own eyes the scene of a hundred thousand troops marching out that Sakai Hoshino could not bring himself to doubt Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai Hoshino's speechless look, and carried the baggage in his hand onto his shoulders with his backhand.
"Hoshino."
"Huh? Mr. Liu?"
“Hoshino, I’ve told you everything I should tell you, and I’ve also told you everything I shouldn’t.
Again, it's not that I don't want to help your brother Hoshino get through this difficulty, but I really am unable to do so.
If there is nothing else, I will go back first. "
"Liu Jun, wait."
"Huh? What else do you want to say?"
"Liu Jun, is there really no other way? In Xingye's memory, Liu Jun, you are a very powerful person, and nothing has ever been able to trouble you.
Back then, when you were just an official, you could solve many difficult problems that Hoshino could not even imagine. What's more, you are now the Emperor of Dalong!
Are you helping Hoshino think of other solutions? Now besides Mr. Liu, Hoshino really doesn’t know who else he can go to for help. "
"Oh, Hoshino, I can only say that the time when your delegation came to Dalong was too unlucky.
If your delegation had come ten days and a half earlier, I would not have been very busy at that time, and I would have been able to receive your delegation right away.
After I met you Hoshino, I learned about the difficulties you are facing, and I will definitely try my best to help you overcome this difficulty.
In this case, even if I use expedient measures, it is not impossible to evenly provide you with some troops from the 100,000-strong army.
It just so happens that your mission is in the capital at this juncture when a hundred thousand troops are about to go on an expedition. There is nothing I can do to help you now.
But don’t worry, Hoshino, I’m going back this time just to discuss with the civil and military officials how to help you.
I just told you that I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible. Hoshino, just wait patiently. "
"Mr. Liu, how long do Hoshino have to wait?"
Liu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and gave Sakai Hoshino a somewhat general answer.
"Hoshino, all I can say is that I will do it as soon as possible."
As for how fast this happens, it all depends on your mood.
When I am in a good mood, I may be able to give Sakai Hoshino an answer in three or two days. When I am in a bad mood, it is not impossible to give him an answer in ten and a half months, or two or three months.
Of course, the most important thing is to see whether the Japanese mission is sincere.
In short, there is a saying, only by giving can you gain.
Don't pay anything, just think about getting the dragon's equipment for free. Don't even think about it. There is no need to discuss this matter at all.
Not to mention Sakai Hoshino who came to plead with me, even if my father Liu Zhian came, it would still be difficult.
Of course, my father, Liu Zhi'an, would not be so careless.
Just ask the world, how can there be such a thing as pie in the sky?
Personal relationships are personal relationships, and righteousness is righteousness. In matters such as righteousness.
He was determined not to give in an inch.
Even if Sakai Hoshino gave her body to him today and he had a loving relationship with her, the result would still be the same.
She gave her body to herself, and he could give her other convenient compensation, but it would definitely not be a step back in terms of military preparation.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino would like to take the liberty to ask, if you come up with the result after collaborating with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how long will it take you to prepare the military equipment that our mission wants?"
"I dare not give you a definite guarantee on this, Hoshino. It depends on the speed of the craftsmen in the war department's prison forging weapons.
Come to think of it, Hoshino, you have also seen craftsmen forging weapons in the shops. Forging a sophisticated weapon is not an easy task!
It depends on Hoshino how much military equipment your mission needs and what types of military equipment are needed.
Eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, can be forged, but the time it takes to forge each weapon is completely different. "
Sakai Hoshino pursed his red lips and shook his head hurriedly: "Mr. Liu, we only need weapons such as swords, guns, halberds, crossbows and armor.
If we only have these weapons, can the craftsmen be faster? "
"What about the quantity?"
"The minimum is around 8,000 to 10,000, the more the less."
"Hey, these are quite a lot. I can't give you a reply now. After all, I'm not proficient in casting weapons. I have to go back and ask the craftsman who will be the supervisor to know for sure.
This matter must be reported to Honglu Temple, approved by the cabinet, and approved by the Ten Kings Palace before the final conclusion can be reached.
It’s true that I am the emperor of Dalong, but I am not a god either. Many things have to be done step by step.
After all, I can't conjure up the weapons you want out of thin air. "
"This... Hoshino understands, Mr. Liu, you must discuss the results with the civil and military officials as soon as possible.
Hoshino's brother really can't wait too long. "
"Okay, Hoshino, don't worry, I will definitely give you an answer as quickly as possible.
The matter is settled like this, I will go back first. "
Sakai Hoshino nodded hesitantly and reached out to wipe the tears on his cheeks a few times. : "Okay, then Hoshino goes to see Liu Jun off outside."
"If you are not busy, then give it away."
"Well, Mr. Liu, please."
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the already fading sky, and walked out of the courtyard with a regretful expression.
It's a pity that Hoshino Sakai himself, a foreigner, didn't succeed after all!
Sakai Hoshino didn't know how disappointed Young Master Liu was now, so he followed Young Master Liu with a pretty and lonely face as he walked towards the outside of Honglu Temple.
Now she is completely focused on how to help her brother solve this difficulty as soon as possible, and has no time to think about other things.
However, how could she have imagined that Liu Mingzhi never paid attention to the civil strife in Japan from beginning to end.
For Young Master Liu, the civil strife in Japan has nothing to do with him.
