Kenya is situated in the tropical monsoon area, the coast is the down country, is rain-rich, the middle is the high ground, the north is the desert. 肯尼亚地处热带季风区,沿海为平原地带,雨水充足,中部是高地,北部是沙漠。 Because the mineral resource is rich, was included in the dominant range before several years by the Austrian colonizing government, truly what develops is only the coastal plain, other areas are only the nominal rules. 因为矿产资源丰富,在数年前就被奥地利殖民政府纳入统治范围内,不过真正开发的只是沿海平原,其它地区只是名义上的统治。 Kenya east to Somalia, south to Tanzania, west to Uganda, north with Ethiopia and South Sudan common border, the southeast borders on Indian Ocean. 肯尼亚东邻索马里,南接坦桑尼亚,西连乌干达,北与埃塞俄比亚、南苏丹交界,东南濒临印度洋。 Because of the unique geographical position, after the second Ethiopian war breaks out, the Kenyan commercial trade all of a sudden prospered. 因为独特的地理位置,第二次埃塞俄比亚战争爆发后,肯尼亚当地的商业贸易一下子繁荣了起来。 Every day has a lot of commodities, flows in the Ethiopian area from here. The Egyptian army can insist now, this trade line also claims credit really great. 每天都有大量的物资,从这里流入埃塞俄比亚地区。埃军能够坚持到现在,这条贸易线也是居功甚伟的。 New Anda, is in itself only a colonizing foothold in Kenyan and Egyptian border, benefits from the brisk trade that the war brings, already somewhat the elegant demeanor of small town. 新萨尔图,本身只是肯埃边界的一座殖民据点,得益于战争带来的贸易繁荣,已经有几分小城的风采。 The city east ordinary manor, is the Austrian big arms merchant Saint Drozova's foothold. 城东一座普通的庄园,就是奥地利大军火商圣德尔斯的据点。 At this time, a young men panted to rush: Saint Mr. Drozova, the important matter is not good! Just the home spread the news, the English attempts to use the diplomatic means that cut off our trade with Ethiopia.” 此时,一名青年男子气喘吁吁闯了进去:“圣德尔斯先生,大事不好了!刚刚国内传来消息,英国人企图利用外交手段,断绝我们同埃塞俄比亚的贸易。” Wears the middle-aged man complexion of Chinese dress to sink, immediately responded: Mausz, slow point said, the sky has not collapsed.” 身着华服的中年男子脸色一沉,随即反应了过来:“毛斯,慢点儿说,天还没有塌下来。” Returned to normal a mood, Mausz: „ It is said is because the frontline is blocked, the British armed forces are unable to make the breakthrough progress, the public opinion pressure is too big. 平复了一下心情,毛斯:“据说是因为前线受阻,英军迟迟无法取得突破性进展,国内舆论压力太大。 A week ago, the despicable English sends out the note diplomatique to the Vienna government, requesting us to coordinate to cut off the trade line of Ethiopia. 在一个星期前,卑鄙的英国人向维也纳政府发出外交照会,要求我们配合切断埃塞俄比亚的贸易线。 Owes they also by the free trade protector from according, meeting was small, must break the trade to be free, simply is...... ” 亏他们还以自由贸易守护者自据,遇到了点儿小麻烦,就要打破贸易自由,简直就是……” Saint Drozova hits to block the way: Ok, I knew what's the matter. First sits down to drink one cup of coffee, matter is not serious.” 圣德尔斯打断道:“好了,我知道是怎么回事了。先坐下喝一杯咖啡,事情没有那么严重。” Mausz said puzzled: Is assorted you? Saint Mr. Drozova, if the Vienna government agreed English's request, our trades could not conduct!” 毛斯不解道:“为什你?圣德尔斯先生,万一维也纳政府同意了英国人的要求,我们的贸易就进行不下去了!” Breaks the person source of income such as the murder parents, the English blocks the trade line, broke their source of income. 断人财路如杀人父母,英国人阻断贸易线,就断了他们的财路。 Now the world had been carved up by the colonial empire completely, the day of arms merchant does not feel better, bumped into a war with great difficulty, has not made them send one, Mausz has enough reason anger. 现在世界已经被殖民帝国瓜分殆尽,军火商的日子也不好过,好不容易碰上了一次大战,还不让他们发一笔,毛斯有足够的理由愤怒。 Saint Drozova patted Mausz's shoulder: „ Calm a little, Mausz. Remembered as a qualified arms merchant, at any time must keep calm. 圣德尔斯拍了拍毛斯的肩膀:“冷静一点儿,毛斯。记住了作为一名合格的军火商,任何时候都必须要保持冷静。 Matter you have not imagined are so bad, even if the Vienna government agrees to cut off the trade with Ethiopia, our roads really did break? ” 事情没有你想象中那么糟糕,即便是维也纳政府同意断绝和埃塞俄比亚的贸易,我们的商道就真的断了么?” Mausz indefinite asking: You meant- smuggling?” 毛斯不确定的问道:“你的意思是说-走私?” The contrast normal trade, the smuggling considerably increased the risk without doubt, was seized usually punished losing everything. 对比正常贸易,走私无疑是大大增加了风险,被逮住了通常会被罚的倾家荡产。 Saying that Saint Drozova coldly: „ Knows that was good, why can say? From Kenya to Somalia, we are so long with the boundary line of Ethiopia, how should block? 圣德尔斯冷冷的说道:“知道就行了,何必要说出来呢?从肯尼亚到索马里,我们和埃塞俄比亚的边界线那么长,该怎么封锁? Even if the government can achieve, but why do they want to give the English to help? 就算政府能够做到,可是他们为什么要给英国人帮忙? I guess that the Vienna government wishes one could, making this Ethiopia get for ten years eight years. So long as the colony government will definitely turn on the water, the English can also go into our domains to crack down on the smuggling to be inadequate? 我猜维也纳政府恨不得,让这场埃塞俄比亚打上十年八年。只要殖民地政府肯定会放水,英国人还能够跑到我们的地盘上打击走私不成? In comparison, I am worried about in the Ethiopian government pocket not to have money. First twice trades, they put out a lot of material objects to make the mortgage, had explained many issues. ” 相比之下,我更担心埃塞俄比亚政府兜里没钱。前两次贸易,他们就拿出了大量的实物做抵押,已经说明了很多问题。” The smuggling is only the elementary operation eo of arms merchant, the true legitimate arms merchant instead is few, usually also has the government background. 走私只是军火商的基本操作,真正的合法军火商反而是极少数,通常还有政府背景。 If the ordinary arms merchant will not smuggle, in fierce international competition, basic on survival. 普通军火商如果不会走私,在残酷的国际竞争中,根本就生存不下去。 In the Saint Drozova's as arms merchant eminent, when the nature is clear wants the illegal trade, when needs to smuggle. 圣德尔斯作为军火商中的翘楚,自然清楚什么时候要合法交易,什么时候需要走私。 Mausz indefinite asking: Saint Mr. Drozova, you mean we trade with Ethiopian, soon can finish?” 毛斯不确定的问:“圣德尔斯先生,你的意思是我们同埃塞俄比亚人的贸易,即将要结束了?” As the partner, Mausz is clear, the partner who has the purchasing power is difficult to look. 作为合伙人,毛斯可是非常清楚,一家有购买力的合作伙伴多么难找。 If the Ethiopian did not have money, this business naturally must end. The arms merchant will not make the charity, all from benefit. 如果埃塞俄比亚人没钱了,这场生意自然就要结束了。军火商不会做慈善,一切从利益出发。 Saint Drozova nods: Judging from the present situation, should also be able to do for several months. Theoretically, we can also accept the land mortgage of Ethiopian, is only the risk is somewhat big.” 圣德尔斯点了点头:“从目前的情况来看,应该还可以在做几个月。理论上,我们还可以接受埃塞俄比亚人的土地抵押,只是风险有些大。” Territory sufficient boycott, this is the European colonizers colonize beginning, in situation that in own strength is insufficient, habitually used technique. 领土充抵货款,这是欧洲殖民者殖民初起,在自身实力不足的情况下,惯用的手法。 Mausz awakened instantaneously, can be sent to be engaged in the arms trade by the family, he naturally is not a fool, otherwise does not have the qualifications and shrewd and crafty Saint Drozova becomes the partner. 毛斯瞬间醒悟了过来,能够被家族派出来从事军火贸易,他自然不是傻子,要不然也没有资格和老奸巨猾的圣德尔斯成为合作伙伴。 After hesitant moment time, asked: Saint Mr. Drozova, are you want to transform to do to colonize the merchant?” 犹豫了片刻功夫后,问道:“圣德尔斯先生,你是想要转型做殖民商人?” The arms trade of this year does not have the later generation that sudden and huge profits, the arms merchant is not naturally professional, usually is what business makes money, makes anything. 这年头的军火贸易没有后世那么暴利,军火商自然也没有那么敬业,通常都是什么生意赚钱,就做什么。 Saint Drozova besides being engaged in arms trade, similarly also makes the ultramarine trade, for example: The local product games native place African continent sells, or profiteers the industry and commerce product to come the sale from the native place. 圣德尔斯除了从事军火贸易外,同样也做海外贸易,比如说:将非洲大陆的土特产运会本土销售,或者是从本土倒运工商业产品过来销售。 These business competitors are many, the profit is far from the arms trade being high, can only be the concurrent job. 这些生意竞争对手很多,利润远远没有军火贸易丰厚,只能算是兼职。 Saint Drozova said with a smile: Not?” 圣德尔斯笑道:“不可以么?” Of course not, is only somewhat sudden. The present colonizing merchant is not good to do, particularly the inland colony, is losing money.” Mausz answered “当然不是,只是有些突然。现在的殖民商人也不好做,尤其是内陆殖民地,很多都在亏损。”毛斯解释道 Saint Drozova shakes the head: „ Because of losing money, is the opportunity. If really the profit is high, by the great people snatching up, us could not drink the soup. 圣德尔斯摇了摇头:“正是因为亏损,才是机会。真要是利润丰厚,早就被大人物们给抢光了,我们连汤都喝不上。 I am prepared to disburse money to purchase a colony, what a pity these colonizing companies were too sly, the waste land also takes a sky-high price obviously together. 原本我是准备出钱购买一块殖民地的,可惜那些殖民公司太狡猾了,明明是一块烂地还要一个天价。 Only can take risk to have the idea of Ethiopian area, my appetite is not big, several thousand square kilometers lands satisfied. 只能冒险打埃塞俄比亚地区的主意,我的胃口又不大,有几千平方公里的土地就满足了。 Selects the land, the English does not have the thoughts and we haggles over. The local area indigenous is not the issue, the biggest trouble is hard to gain. 这么点儿土地,想必英国人也没有心思和我们计较。当地土著也不是问题,最大的麻烦是难以盈利。 However this is only temporary, the land resource is non-renewable, the population in the unceasing growth, will actually manifest the value sooner or later. 不过这只是暂时的,土地资源不可再生,人口却在不断的增长,早晚都会体现价值来。 Ten years ago Kenya, is stretch of place of barbarian desolate, now has 800,000 immigrations, this digit is still growing at a annual rate of 13. 十年前的肯尼亚,还是一片蛮荒之地,现在已经拥有了八十万移民,这个数字还在以每年13的速度增长。 Naturally this is the big immigration policy causes, this growth can only maintain for 45 years, behind will fall slowly. 当然这是大移民政策导致的,这个增长速度只能保持四五年时间,后面会慢慢降下来。 However this also enough, ten years later the population of Kenyan area breaks through 2 million, there is a very big possibility. 不过这也够了,十年后肯尼亚地区的人口突破两百万,还是有很大可能的。 When the time comes tightens near the area of Kenya, will follow to profit. As the convergence point of England and Austria colony, so long as colonizes a local smuggling commodity toward the English, enough recouped the operation cost of colony. 到时候紧临肯尼亚的地区,也会跟着受益。作为英奥殖民地的交汇点,只要往英国人殖民地区走私点儿商品,就足够收回殖民地的运营成本了。 What kind of, does Mausz have on the interest ginseng/partake? If England and Austria will conflict to erupt in the future, perhaps we can also become the aristocrat. ” 怎么样,毛斯有没有兴趣参上一股?如果未来英奥冲突爆发,我们没准还能成为贵族。” Mausz deeply frowned, he has complained in the heart were innumerable. In the two countries colony intersection point, once both countries clashed, will immediately degenerate into the battlefield. 毛斯眉头紧锁,在内心深处他已经吐槽了无数次。地处两国殖民地交界处,一旦两国爆发了冲突,马上就会沦为战场。 To make money? First lived to say again! Overwhelming majority such adventurers, compensate finally complete wipe-out. 想要赚钱?先活下来再说吧!绝大部分这样的冒险者,最后都赔得血本无归。 In the past the England and Austria conflict high incidence, both sides had over a thousand people dead in the conflict every year, finally the population of English was insufficient, cannot withstand the dispute that ended. 当年英奥冲突高发期,每年双方都有上千人死于冲突中,最后英国人的人口不足,顶不住了才结束的纷争。 Even so, now two countries colony common border area, is the most dangerous region. Kills a person and takes his possessions, so long as ran up to opposite goes safely, interstate committing a crime should not be too many. 即便是如此,现在两国殖民地交界区,也是最危险的地带。很多杀人越货,只要跑到对面去安全了,跨境作案不要太多。 Mausz declines saying: Sorry, the resources that Saint Mr. Drozova, this matter needs to invest are too many, I am unable to take responsibility.” 毛斯拒绝道:“抱歉,圣德尔斯先生,这件事情需要投入的资源太多,我无法做主。” Saint Drozova not disappointed, what he wants to cooperate is Mausz's back family, rather than this young fellow. 圣德尔斯没有失望,他想要合作的是毛斯背后的家族,而不是这一个毛头小子。 Cooperates inadequately also indifferent, Austria domestic is ambitious two generations of youth is too many, Saint Drozova thinks the eloquence is good, flickering several collaborators is not the issue. 合作不成也无所谓,奥地利国内的有志二代青年太多,圣德尔斯自认为口才还是不错的,忽悠几个合作者不是问题。 This was the sorrow of grassroots, Saint Drozova works hard for more than 20 years, had the capital of joining the colonizing tide, what a pity the best time has missed. 这是草根的悲哀,圣德尔斯努力奋斗了二十多年,才有加入殖民浪潮的资本,可惜最佳时机早就错过了。 Even now, he must look for the collaborator. Only by the influence that he himself operates, operates the mature colony also reluctantly. In this boundary area, does not have the sufficient military force is incorrect. 即便是现在,他都必须要寻找合作者。单靠他自己经营的势力,经营成熟的殖民地还勉强。在这种边界地区,没有足够的武力是不行的。 Including the arms trade, he chooses and Mausz cooperates, that to draw support from the opposite party back human relations network. 包括军火贸易,他选择和毛斯合作,那都是为了借助对方背后的人脉关系网。 Saint Drozova's magnanimous saying: Doesn't matter, this matter does not worry. To obtain the colony from Ethel Biya person hand, that must wait for the opposite party end of hills and rivers time, now also early!” 圣德尔斯大度的说道:“没有关系,这件事情不着急。想要从埃塞尔比亚人手中获得殖民地,那也必须要等对方山穷水尽的时候,现在还早着呢!” ...... ……
