Yoshitomo Takeda said: "Master Yan's speed of delivery and guaranteed credibility are touching. What is this for? Isn't it to help the chaebols counterattack the Tokugawa shogunate and take revenge as soon as possible! We must be grateful and do our best. Thank you Master Yan for your care and love for us."
The chaebol representatives also praised Yan Qi.
"Master Yan really values credibility in doing business."
"I didn't expect it to be delivered so quickly. I never expected it."
"Master Yan is reliable in his work."
…
Takeda Yoshitomo said: "Next, we have to do two things. The first thing is that we will start high-intensity training immediately."
"The second thing is to send spies to inquire about the military preparations of the Tokugawa Shogunate, so that we know ourselves and our enemies and are prepared for any danger."
The Thirty-six Zaibatsu were very happy.
They could see that Yoshitomo Takeda knew military affairs well.
This reassures them.
…
Fifteen days later.
Yoshitomo Takeda once again met with the Thirty-six Zaibatsu.
The Thirty-six Zaibatsu representatives saw Takeda Yoshitomo's serious face.
General Sendokai also stood aside, his eyes stern.
They realized something was wrong.
"Master Takeda, what happened?"
they asked tremblingly.
"Why!"
Yoshitomo Takeda sighed: "General Sendokai, come and talk to everyone."
Sendogai stood upright and spoke sonorously: "According to the information obtained by spies, the Tokugawa Shogunate is building five hundred warships to strengthen its military strength and protect the docks."
"Huh? Five hundred ships?"
When the chaebol representative heard this, he felt extremely stressed: "Is this news true?"
Sendokai left no doubt: "This matter is absolutely true, there is no mistake. How can the military secret report from the front lie?"
"this……"
The chaebol representative panicked: "What should we do?"
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "We purchased 200 warships from Master Yan. Together with the existing warships, there are more than 700 ships. They are powerful and can fight against the Tokugawa Shogunate."
"Unexpectedly, the Tokugawa shogunate spent so much effort building another five hundred warships."
"With these five hundred warships, the Tokugawa shogunate will have an absolute advantage in naval battles, and we will be completely defeated."
"Therefore, our warships must increase in number and must not fall behind. Otherwise, our efforts will be in vain."
The chaebol representative asked anxiously: "How much more will be added?"
"They have added 500 ships, and we must also add 500 ships. Only in this way can we match them and form a confrontation."
"Huh? Five hundred more ships?"
The chaebol representatives trembled in their hearts: "Two hundred warships cost 100 million taels of silver. Wouldn't those 500 warships cost more than 200 million?"
Yoshitomo Takeda corrected: "It's not more than 200 million, but 300 million. Lord Yan gave us a 30% discount on the first batch of warships. This time, it's impossible to give us a 30% discount. No matter what, we have to give us a 20% discount." Calculated, for my sake, at least three hundred million taels of silver are needed."
"so much?"
The chaebol representative suddenly felt heartache.
One hundred million pieces of silver, they feel no pain.
However, now that I have to spend another three hundred million taels of silver, I feel a little distressed.
Yoshitomo Takeda looked at everyone with embarrassed expressions: "What? Are you feeling sorry for Ginko? You are the ones who expressed their intention to counterattack the Tokugawa shogunate. Now, the Tokugawa shogunate is building five hundred warships with strong combat power. If we can't keep up, Isn’t it hopeless to counterattack?”
"this……"
Only then did the chaebol representatives realize that buying military supplies was really a waste of money.
The money is not money, just big rocks and pieces of paper.
Some of them don't want to take the money.
"Master Takeda, why not take a closer look and see if the Tokugawa shogunate's shipbuilding story is fake.
"
"Yes, yes, how could the Tokugawa shogunate have so much money to build warships? In my opinion, it is just fake news."
"That's right, Tokugawa Taiyasu is very deceitful, and it's normal for her to deceive us."
…
Takeda Yoshitomo said: "I don't care, because I have decided to prepare for ten years. During this period, I will accumulate my knowledge and win every battle."
"If you chaebol believe that the news that the Tokugawa shogunate built 500 ships is false, then this matter is over and will not be discussed again."
"However, if it is true, it will delay our counterattack against the Tokugawa Shogunate. When the time comes, don't say that I am unwilling to send troops. Because if we send troops, we will lose."
"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"
After Yoshitomo Takeda finished explaining the matter, he left in a hurry to train troops, leaving behind the representatives of the Thirty-six Zaibatsu with a confused expression on their faces.
…
They went back to discuss things.
Matsufeng Mu, the shill, started to fan the flames again: "With all due respect, you guys still say that I care about money, but you don't know that your bad habits have happened again."
"Can't you afford this little money? All you need to fight a war is money. If you don't have money, what's a shitty war? You stingy people, I'm ashamed to be with you. I count on you, and you won't be able to eat four dishes in this life."
The chaebol representatives were extremely panicked.
"It's not that we don't pay, but 300 million taels of silver is too much."
"Isn't this going to hollow us out?"
"That's right, the money we have is not too much."
…
Everyone is complaining.
Matsukazeki looked disdainful: "Have you forgotten what you said before? You said that you fully support Takeda-sama in buying weapons, warships, and equipment. What about now? No more support? Were you talking nonsense before?"
"The Tokugawa shogunate is also extremely short of money. However, Tokugawa Taiyasu dared to work hard to build ships. Why can't we? No wonder we can't beat Tokugawa Taiyasu because our layout is not good and our IQ is not good."
"Besides, we have already spent 100 million taels of silver. If we are unable to counterattack the Tokugawa Shogunate for a long time, then this 100 million taels of silver will be wasted."
The chaebols continued to quibble: "It's not that we don't pay, but we suspect that the news of the Tokugawa Shogunate's shipbuilding is false."
"fart!"
Matsukaze scolded him directly: "You know best whether this news is false. Don't you think it's funny to use this excuse to prevaricate Mr. Takeda? Don't you feel like a three-year-old child? It's so nonsense."
"Hey, Matsukazeki, don't say that."
"What I said is true. Although the words are ugly, they are good medicine for treating illnesses. They are nothing like you who go back on your word and have no future. You just rely on your consciousness and don't pull out a dime. You still expect Takeda-sama to counterattack the Tokugawa Shogunate. Go to hell. "
After saying that, Song Fengmu slammed the table several times and left bitterly.
The remaining chaebols looked at me on behalf of you, and I looked at you, and sighed helplessly.
Of course they knew that the information Sendobei had found out was true.
Tokugawa Taiyasu shipbuilding has become inevitable.
However, asking them to spend 300 million taels of silver at once is too exaggerated.
Their miserly habits have returned.
unwilling.
However, if he did not spend 300 million taels of silver, Lord Takeda would not have enough strength to counterattack the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Moreover, the three hundred million taels of silver that had been spent were wasted.
What should I do?
Why!
