Kenyais situated in the tropicalmonsoonarea, the coastis the down country, is rain-rich, the middleis the high ground, the northis 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 resourceis rich, was included in the dominantrangebeforeseveral yearsby the Austriancolonizinggovernment, truly what developsis only the coastal plain, otherareasare only the nominalrules.
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。Kenyaeast toSomalia, south toTanzania, west toUganda, northwithEthiopia and South Sudancommon border, the southeastborders onIndian 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 uniquegeographical position, after the secondEthiopianwarbreaks out, the Kenyancommercialtradeall of a suddenprospered.
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 dayhasa lot ofcommodities, flows in the Ethiopianareafromhere. The Egyptianarmycaninsistnow, thistradelinealsoclaims creditreallygreat.
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。NewAnda, is in itself only a colonizingfoothold in Kenyan and Egyptian border, benefitsfrom the brisk trade that the warbrings, alreadysomewhat 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 eastordinarymanor, is the Austrianbigarms merchantSaintDrozova'sfoothold.
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 menpantedto rush: „SaintMr.Drozova, the important matteris not good! Just the homespread the news, the Englishattemptsto use the diplomatic means that cut offourtradewithEthiopia.”
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 mancomplexion of Chinese dressto sink, immediatelyresponded: „Mausz, slowpointsaid, the skyhas 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 saidisbecause the frontlineis blocked, the British armed forcesare unable to make the breakthrough progress, the public opinionpressureis 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 despicableEnglishsends out the note diplomatiqueto the Viennagovernment, requestingusto coordinateto cut off the tradeline 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。Owestheyalsoby the free tradeprotectorfromaccording, meetingwas small, mustbreak the tradeto be free, simplyis...... ”
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……”SaintDrozovahitsto block the way: „Ok, Iknewwhat's the matter. Firstsits downto drinkonecup of coffee, matteris 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。”Mauszsaidpuzzled: „Isassortedyou? SaintMr.Drozova, if the ViennagovernmentagreedEnglish'srequest, ourtradescould 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 personsource of incomesuch as the murderparents, the Englishblocks the tradeline, broketheirsource 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 worldhad been carved upby the colonial empirecompletely, the day of arms merchantdoes not feel better, bumped into a warwith great difficulty, has not madethemsendone, Mauszhasenoughreasonanger.
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。SaintDrozovapattedMausz'sshoulder: „ Calma little, Mausz. Rememberedas a qualifiedarms merchant, at any timemustkeepcalm.
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。Matteryouhave not imaginedare so bad, even if the Viennagovernmentagreesto cut off the tradewithEthiopia, ourroadsreallydid 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?”Mauszindefiniteasking: „Youmeant- smuggling?”
毛斯不确定的问道:“你的意思是说-走私?”
The contrastnormal trade, the smugglingconsiderablyincreased the riskwithout doubt, was seizedusuallypunishedlosing 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 SaintDrozovacoldly: „ Knows that was good, whycansay? FromKenyatoSomalia, we are so longwith the boundary line of Ethiopia, howshouldblock?
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 governmentcanachieve, but why do theywantto give the Englishto help?
就算政府能够做到,可是他们为什么要给英国人帮忙?Iguess that the Viennagovernmentwishes one could, makingthisEthiopiaget for tenyearseightyears. So long as the colonygovernmentwill definitely turn on the water, the English can also go into ourdomainsto crack down on the smugglingto 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, Iam worried aboutin the Ethiopian governmentpocketnot to havemoney. Firsttwicetrades, theyput outa lot ofmaterial objectsto make the mortgage, had explainedmanyissues. ”
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 smugglingis only the elementary operation eo of arms merchant, the truelegitimatearms merchantinsteadisfew, usuallyalsohas 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 ordinaryarms merchantwill not smuggle, infierceinternational competition, basiconsurvival.
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 SaintDrozova'sasarms merchanteminent, when the natureis clearwants the illegal trade, whenneedsto 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。Mauszindefiniteasking: „SaintMr.Drozova, you mean we tradewithEthiopian, sooncanfinish?”
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, Mauszis clear, the partner who has the purchasing poweris difficultto 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 Ethiopiandid not havemoney, thisbusinessnaturallymustend. The arms merchantwill not make the charity, allfrombenefit.
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。SaintDrozovanods: „Judging from the present situation, shouldalsobe ableto do for severalmonths. Theoretically, we can also accept the landmortgage of Ethiopian, is only the riskis 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。”Territorysufficientboycott, thisis the Europeancolonizerscolonizebeginning, insituation that inownstrengthis insufficient, habitually usedtechnique.
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。Mauszawakenedinstantaneously, canbe sentto be engaged in the arms tradeby the family, henaturallyis not a fool, otherwisedoes not have the qualificationsandshrewd and craftySaintDrozovabecomes 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 hesitantmomenttime, asked: „SaintMr.Drozova, are youwantto transformto doto 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 thisyeardoes not have the later generationthatsudden and huge profits, the arms merchantis not naturally professional, usuallyiswhatbusinessmakes money, makesanything.
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。SaintDrozovabesidesbeing engaged inarms trade, similarlyalsomakes the ultramarine trade, for example: The local productgamesnative placeAfrican continentsells, orprofiteers the industry and commerceproductto come the salefrom 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。Thesebusinesscompetitorsare many, the profitis far from the arms tradebeing 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。SaintDrozovasaid with a smile: „Not?”
圣德尔斯笑道:“不可以么?”„Of course not, is onlysomewhatsudden. The presentcolonizingmerchantis not goodto do, particularly the inlandcolony, is losing money.”Mauszanswered
“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SaintDrozovashakes the head: „ Because oflosing money, is the opportunity. Ifreally the profitis high, by the great peoplesnatchingup, uscould 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。Iampreparedto disburse moneyto purchase a colony, what a pitythesecolonizingcompanieswere too sly, the waste landalsotakes a sky-high priceobviouslytogether.
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。Onlycantake riskto have the idea of Ethiopianarea, myappetiteis not big, several thousandsquare kilometerslandssatisfied.
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 Englishdoes not have the thoughtsandwehaggles over. The local areaindigenousis not the issue, the biggesttrouble is hardto 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。Howeverthisis onlytemporary, the land resourceis non-renewable, the populationin the unceasinggrowth, will actually manifest the valuesooner 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。Tenyears ago Kenya, isstretch of place of barbariandesolate, nowhas800,000immigrations, thisdigitis still growingat 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。Naturallythisis the bigimmigration policycauses, thisgrowth can only maintain for 45years, behindwill fallslowly.
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。Howeverthisalsoenough, tenyearslater the population of Kenyanareabreaks through2 million, there is a verybigpossibility.
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 comestightensnear the area of Kenya, will followto profit. As the convergence point of England and Austriacolony, so long ascolonizes a localsmugglingcommoditytoward the English, enoughrecouped 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 Mauszhaveon the interestginseng/partake? IfEngland and Austriawill conflictto eruptin the future, perhapswe 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。”Mauszdeeply frowned, hehas complainedin the heartwere innumerable. In the two countriescolonyintersection point, onceboth countriesclashed, 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? Firstlivedto sayagain! Overwhelming majoritysuchadventurers, compensatefinallycomplete 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 Austriaconflicthigh incidence, both sideshadover a thousandpeople dead in the conflictevery year, finally the population of Englishwas 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, nowtwo countriescolonycommon borderarea, is the most dangerousregion. Kills a person and takes his possessions, so long asran up tooppositegoessafely, interstatecommitting 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。Mauszdeclines saying: „Sorry, the resources that SaintMr.Drozova, thismatterneedsto investare too many, Iam 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。”SaintDrozovanotdisappointed, whathewantsto cooperateisMausz'sbackfamily, rather thanthisyoung 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。Cooperatesinadequatelyalsoindifferent, Austriadomesticis ambitioustwogenerations of youth is too many, SaintDrozovathinks the eloquenceisgood, flickeringseveralcollaboratorsis 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。Thiswas the sorrow of grassroots, SaintDrozovaworks hard for more than 20years, had the capital of joining the colonizingtide, what a pity the besttimehas 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。Evennow, hemustlook for the collaborator. Onlyby the influence that he himselfoperates, operates the maturecolonyalsoreluctantly. Inthisboundaryarea, does not have the sufficientmilitary forceisincorrect.
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, hechoosesandMauszcooperates, thattodraw support from the opposite partybackhuman relationsnetwork.
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。SaintDrozova'smagnanimoussaying: „Doesn't matter, thismatterdoes not worry. To obtain the colonyfromEthelBiyapersonhand, that must wait for the opposite partyend of hills and riverstime, nowalsoearly!”
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!”
