Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Just when Jin Shengtai was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt that someone was filming him.

When he slowly turned his head, he saw Zhao Ji with a smile on his face:

"These high-speed rail vehicles in our country are quite powerful, right?"

Jin Shengtai smiled reluctantly:

"It is indeed very powerful. No wonder you, Xianxiang, were able to defeat six countries with one against six."

"Without the existence of these artifacts to control the country, I am afraid that the army under your command would be extremely difficult to achieve, no matter how brave it is in combat."

Zhao Ji nodded slowly:

"Indeed."

"These steel chariots played a vital role in that battle."

Seeing the sky getting dark, Zhao Ji wanted to invite Jin Shengtai to a dinner.

But just as the two of them were escorted by many soldiers, they slowly returned to the palace.

Jin Shengtai told Zhao Ji what he had been thinking about for a long time:

"My dear son-in-law, those artifacts of the Song Dynasty that were used to control the country are so powerful, and you are producing so many of them now."

"But I wonder if there is any interest in selling some to other countries?"

Zhao Ji paused slightly. When he turned to look at Jin Shengtai Shi, who was full of expectation, he said with a puzzled expression:

"Why?"

"This kind of steel chariot produced by our Song Dynasty has extremely strong offensive capabilities on the battlefield. It is a rare artifact for our Song Dynasty to control the country."

"Even if that's the case, how could you do that?"

"Furthermore, the surrounding small countries have been eyeing our Song Dynasty for a long time."

"And these steel chariots, as the foundation of our Song Dynasty, cannot be easily obtained by other countries."

"Furthermore, these steel chariots are all made of pure iron, and their internal structures are also extremely complex."

"Even if our Song Dynasty now masters the core manufacturing technology, it will still take a long time to make one."

"If it is really sold to other countries in the future, how much money should it be priced at?"

"If the price is too high, other countries probably won't want it."

"If the price is too low, our Song Dynasty will suffer a huge loss."

"So this thing is really difficult to do."

The more Jin Shengtai saw Zhao Ji say this, the more anxious he became.

When the two of them returned to their residence and sat down one after another, they were ready to enjoy dinner.

Jin Shengtai finally couldn't help it anymore, but he didn't directly talk about tanks and combat vehicles. Instead, he changed the topic and almost led to the alliance between the two countries:

"I'm talking about Xianxu. You must have heard about what happened in our Goguryeo court from the envoy before this, right?"

"During that time, the Jin Kingdom, Fang La, Wang Qing and other forces found our place one after another and wanted to form an alliance with Goguryeo to resist foreign enemies."

"I was also entangled in every possible way at the beginning, but until the end, I didn't give those forces an accurate answer."

"Now that our two countries have concluded the friendship between Qin and Jin."

"Then there is no need to say more about the alliance."

"If anyone dares to attack your Song Dynasty in the future, as my father-in-law, I cannot stand by and watch."

"But in recent years, our country has been very poor in terms of soldiers, weapons and equipment."

"If other forces really attack the Song Dynasty in the future, even if I, the father-in-law, want to help, I may not be able to do so."

"So my idea here is, in order to consolidate the national defense security of your Great Song Dynasty, do you think these tanks and chariots can support our Goguryeo?"

"Of course, we don't want more. Just twenty or thirty cars are enough."

"In this way, when your Song Dynasty is attacked, our Goguryeo troops can also use those tanks and chariots. I hope your Song Dynasty will retreat from the enemy, right?"

When Zhao Ji heard these words of Jin Shengtai, he suddenly felt confused.

Because he really couldn't figure out why the eldest princess of Goguryeo, Kim Soo-yeon, was so well-educated and gentle.

But why does his father love to take advantage of others so much?

Either they are trying every means to plagiarize various cultural heritages of other countries, or they are racking their brains to ask for various weapons and equipment from other forces.

And when he opened his mouth, he was still so rude.

Suddenly, I wanted to buy twenty or thirty tanks.

Regardless of the value of those tanks and chariots, the number alone made Zhao Ji unbearable.

But considering the current relationship between the two countries, it would not be easy to suddenly refuse at this time.

In the end, after Zhao Ji struggled in his mind for a long time, he came up with a pretty good excuse for reply:

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's because those tanks and chariots will soon become obsolete."

"If I give it to you now, I will wait until we develop weapons more powerful than those tanks and chariots in the future."

"When that time comes, will we still support you?"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Jin Shengtai quickly added:

"That's natural."

"Right now, as far as the relationship between our two countries is concerned, is there any need to ask?"

But when Zhao Ji heard this, he sighed helplessly:

"Having said that, there are also all sorts of helpless things happening here."

"If by then, I, an official, really do that, then won't the civil and military ministers in my court have a falling out with me, an official?"

"There are some things that would be very difficult for me to handle even if I were an official of the Song Dynasty."

"So according to my expectation, when I create weapons that are more advanced than tanks and chariots, wouldn't it be better to give them to you to strengthen national defense?"

"And that time shouldn't be too long, probably about a month or two."

When Jin Shengtai heard what Zhao Ji said, he couldn't hold on any longer.

Moreover, when he thought that it wouldn't be long before the whole country would be able to use a weapon that was more powerful than those steel monsters, he suddenly became very excited.

Different from the happy atmosphere here in the Song Dynasty, the situation in the Kingdom of Jin, Fang La, and Wang Qing was really hard to describe.

Since the envoys from Fang La, Jin Guo, and Wang Qing returned from Goguryeo one after another.

The monarchs from several directions have always had trouble sleeping and eating.

Since they are afraid of the Song Dynasty, they will attack soon.

At the same time, they are also worried that their allies will turn their guns and stab them in the back for profit reasons.

So it didn't take long for the people in charge of these armies to gather together for a common reason.

However, what is more coincidental is that at this time, the representatives of Jin Guo, Fang La, and Wang Qing happened to be the same people who had previously sent envoys to Goguryeo.
