Leasing weapons?
Osiris felt a bit uncomfortable with such a statement. Indeed, people could lease carriages, sailboats, clothing, houses, and other necessities that they couldn't afford or didn't wish to buy but still needed to borrow. However, weapons and combat personnel...these didn't seem to be objects for lease.
Li Lin's view was completely different. As long as someone was willing to lease and if the conditions were right, weapons, equipment, and personnel could all be leased. What he had to do was to provide a business-simplified version of the "Lease Act" for the Duchy.
History has amply demonstrated the success of this leasing. Thanks to the "Lease Act", the Soviet Union managed to win the hard-fought Great Patriotic War.
