The Kingdom of Hall and Bell is the second of the five kingdoms adjacent to the Kingdom of St. Martin, both of which are not members of the World Government.
The two are on the same island, and the area of the island is comparable to the size of the two St. Maarten islands!
The two kingdoms were actually one kingdom 200 years ago, but later split into two kingdoms because of the prince's battle.
The country is rich in grain, and it is a famous grain-rich country in the West Sea.
But at the same time, it is also a famous poor country in the West Sea.
How poor are you?
Civilians from other kingdoms probably had the following reactions when they saw the pirates.
"Ah, there are pirates!"
"The pirates are here, run!"
"Call the army here!"
When the commoners of the two kingdoms of Hall and Bell saw the pirates, they probably had the following reactions.
"There are pirates!"
His eyes lit up, showing an excited smile, then he walked home, picked up the kitchen knife or hoe, or even a wooden stick that could be used as a weapon at home, and then called the people in the village, or relatives and friends, and headed towards the sea in groups of three or five. The thief went away.
Then, the pirates will respond as follows.
"Fuck, let go, you let go of Lao Tzu's knife!"
"Let go, my gun!"
"Don't steal Lao Tzu's pants!"
"You also grab Lao Tzu's underwear, you are still not human!"
The pirates cried bitterly and were stripped naked!
If you are lucky, you can get on the boat and run away, but if you are unlucky, even the boat is robbed!
Experienced pirates or human traffickers, etc., when they see these two kingdoms, they all take a detour.
Only fledgling pirates will come to this kingdom!
It stands to reason that pirates can mix in the sea, and most of them are strong and strong people with rich combat experience, so they will not be robbed so easily.
However, the people of these two kingdoms have more experience in fighting. The two kingdoms have a small fight in three months and a big fight in five months. Thousands of people are not happy every year.
If it was a normal kingdom, it would have been destroyed long ago, but the territory of these two kingdoms is rich in food, how rich is it?
Just scatter a handful of seeds, and in the fall you can harvest a bag of rice.
Moreover, the combined population of the two has reached more than one million, and the average kingdom is more than half a million.
The kings of both kingdoms encouraged the commoners to have more children. If they didn't want to raise them, they could hand them over directly to the kingdoms, and the kingdoms would raise them. Anyway, there was plenty of food and they were not afraid of a large population.
But apart from food, these two kingdoms are very poor in other aspects. Clothes, shoes and various daily necessities are all scarce items!
Usually they exchange food for some money, and then buy various items.
But food is not lacking in the kingdoms around them, and only in rare occasions will there be shortages of disasters, so usually they can't sell for a good price.
It will cost a lot of money to transport it to a distance to sell it all, and it is not worth it at the price of grain!
And why these two kingdoms fought so hard, I have to say that there is a spring in their kingdoms.
This spring is called the Fountain of Life, and it is located at the junction of the two kingdoms.
The water output is terrifying, and it is the only freshwater resource on the entire island.
It is called the Fountain of Life because it supplies all the inhabitants of the island, food, etc.
The two sides fought to the death and death around this spring.
No idea!
No one is worried that the only spring on the island is under the control of the other party. If nothing else, if the other party cuts you off the water, what will you do?
So just hit!
As for the negotiation and distribution of spring water, the two sides did not think about it at first.
In addition to the fierce fighting in the first few years when the two princes separated, the two sides tried to solve the problem by negotiation in the following years.
It was a good talk at the beginning, and the war was soon stopped.
Until later, the king of Bell Kingdom passed away, and the new king did not abide by the agreement, the whole army attacked, attacked the Kingdom of Hall, and drove them out of the vicinity of the spring.
This led to the two-month-long water cutoff in the Hall Kingdom, with heavy casualties and many people dying of thirst. In the end, the Hall Kingdom was completely mad. In order to survive, the whole people were completely mad, and they desperately attacked the spring.
After sacrificing nearly 100,000 citizens, and finally regaining half of the spring, it was relieved.
But since then, the two kingdoms have no longer trusted each other. They have to fight every year and never stop. The hatred of the citizens of both sides has reached the level of wanting to eat their meat! ——
Hornby is the general of the Hall Kingdom and controls most of the troops of the Hall Kingdom. He is also the Prince of the Hall Kingdom and the husband of this generation of the Queen of the Hall Kingdom!
He is 2.5 meters tall, with a national face, an inch head, and cold eyes. He is dressed in a burly figure, a suit, and a big knife on his back.
Today, he was invited by Chris to come to the residence of the Chris family, Black Wolf Island!
After receiving a large number of arms sent by Arthur, in order to regain his reputation, Chris called his former big customer, Hornby!
Hornby and his escort had just disembarked when Chris greeted him.
"Brother Hornby!" Chris opened his hands and greeted him with a smile.
"Chris!" Hornby said flatly, but also opened his hands.
The two hugged and parted.
"Brother Hornby, I know your character, let's go straight to the topic!" Chris said with a smile.
"Yes!" Hornby nodded slightly.
"Follow me!" Chris took the lead and left.
Hornby didn't hesitate and followed directly. The two had known each other for a long time and knew each other well, so he was not afraid of Chris harming him.
The two came to a shooting range that had been prepared in Black Wolf Town.
Just got inside.
"Snapped!"
Chris snapped his fingers, and after a while, several people came over with some boxes.
Chris casually opened a box.
"Come and try!" Chris made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile.
The box is full of guns, and they're mainstream rifles.
Hornby was not polite, picked up a gun at will, checked it inside and out, and finally nodded with satisfaction!
Then the loaded ammunition was aimed at the target in the shooting range.
"boom!"
The bullet was fired quickly.
"Ten rings!"
"Clap clap!" Chris smiled and applauded, "Brother's marksmanship is still so sharp!"
"The gun is very good. The accuracy and workmanship are all high-quality goods!" Hornby said lightly, and then changed his voice, "but our kingdom can't afford such a good gun!"
"Hehe, don't worry, brother, since I asked you to come today, I will give you an affordable price!" Chris said with a smile, and then made a gesture of eight.
"Eighty thousand baileys?" Hornby frowned. "The price is the same as ordinary goods. If the quality is the same as these, it's not impossible to buy some!"
For the same price, buy better products, of course!
However, Chris still shook his head and raised his mouth slightly: "It's not 80,000, it's 20% off!"
"What!" Hornby looked shocked.
80,000 and 20% off are not the same concept. There are 16,000 Baileys less. A single one seems nothing, but for a kingdom, how can one buy one by one?
At least tens of thousands, and the price difference is not a little bit!
"That's right, I'll give you the price of 64,000 each. Who called us brothers for so many years? I heard that the recent form of your Hall Kingdom is not very good, so I decided to give it to you at the cost price!" Chris laughed said.
Of course, this is bullshit, Chris's cost price is lower than this!
However, it is not wrong to say that it is the cost price, but it is the cost price of other arms dealers.
These guns are all transported from St. Maarten Island to Blood Harbor Town by underground train, and then transported to Black Wolf Town by boat. Except for the higher freight, the other prices are much lower than those on the market. .
"I" Hornby was a little moved. He really thought that Chris gave him the cost price. There is no way that there would be no harm without comparison. Others are selling so expensive. You are so much cheaper by yourself, and the quality is good. It must be the cost price!
"Hey, don't say thank you, let's take a look at it first, and then let's talk about how much you want to buy!" Chris waved his hand and said.
