Utopia

So within five days of Mora's sigh, a large fishing boat sailing south from the north was slowly approaching the northwest border of the Guangwu Empire.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes. But we can't get any closer."

"There are shore guns on the shore, you know."

"And that's a 75mm caliber howitzer, be careful."

"Humph! With this caliber, rubbish."

"This..."

"Okay, take them on board."

As a gray-haired dog-headed man gave instructions to his companions, this 42-meter-long, 6-meter-wide fishing boat was moored near a beach, and more than 30 gray-haired dog-headed men who had been hiding in the dense forest near the beach completely ignored their ragged appearance, quickly carried their bags and ran towards the fishing boat.

"You, you are finally here."

"Everyone has suffered in the Guangwu Empire. On behalf of my superiors, I would like to express my gratitude to you for voluntarily becoming citizens of this country."

Boom!

However, this time, along with the sound of cannon fire, a gray patrol speedboat with a jade flag flying came quickly from the southern sea.

"Listen to the smuggling boats in the north! This is the coastal patrol boat of the Guangwu Empire. For your safety, please stop the boat immediately and accept the inspection of the Guangwu Empire!"

As for the speedboat's use of a loudspeaker to persuade people to surrender, the gray-haired dog-headed man in charge of this rescue operation, An Jin Shunzhou Zhongshan, of course drove the boat directly north. At the same time, the speedboat from the Guangwu Empire saw that its persuasion to surrender was ineffective and continued to bombard the fishing boat.

"Zhong Shan."

"I know, this is our last time. There won't be a next time. Now, a speedboat equipped with a 37mm rapid-fire gun is so rampant, right? Come on. Take out our guns."

"Ah? Are we really going to fight?"

"Are we not going to fight? If they keep chasing us like this, our base will be exposed."

"But there are passengers on our ship."

"They know that too. So, they have no scruples at all than us."

In order to escape, the gray-haired dog-headed man, commonly known as Zhong Shan, directly prepared a 37mm machine gun on the fishing boat. As soon as the ammunition belt was loaded and the bolt was pulled, a naval battle on the coast officially began.

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available. ]

Compared to the 37mm rapid-fire gun on the patrol boat, which can only be loaded and fired one round at a time, the 37mm machine gun on the fishing boat is a suppressive continuous-fire weapon disassembled from an aircraft for ground or surface units. So, as soon as the patrol boat entered the fishing boat, it was used recently [To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available. 】【To be honest, I've been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available. 】The patrol boat tried to stop within a distance of meters, and the 37mm machine gun of the fishing boat instantly turned the patrol boat into a buoy on the sea with iron filings and meat scraps flying everywhere.

"Huh! With this level, you dare to come up and die? Go up and take a look, and by the way, plunder their boat for me."

"Yes."

Since they didn't fight, Zhong Shan's men had to bite the bullet and check the situation of the patrol boat.

It must be said that the 37mm caliber infantry gun is not something that can be easily underestimated. In addition to the strong smell of blood, the corpses on the patrol boat were scattered all over the patrol boat, and all kinds of military equipment belonging to the Guangwu Empire were plundered by Zhong Shan as soon as possible.

The only thing was the radio of the patrol boat, and Zhong Shan directly installed a grenade on it.

"Zhongshan? What are you doing? Communication radio is a good thing."

"I don't want the Guangwu Empire to follow our lead and track our location. Also, all the electronic equipment of the Guangwu Empire will be blown up."

"Huh?"

"It's not easy for us to come out. Even if we want to collect more spoils and make a fortune, there is a prerequisite. Safety. Moreover, our republic does not need to rely entirely on captured goods to build a naval force. This patrol boat...sunk, and it will take a lot of time to repair it after towing it back."

In this way, a patrol boat from the Guangwu Empire officially became a stranded "reef" near the coast. Three days later, the fact that the patrol boat was completely salvaged soon reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, Quan Cuiren.

"A patrol boat with nothing but dead bodies and scrap metal... Orchid Republic, you!"

"Your Majesty, we don't have any evidence at all now, and we can't do anything to the Orchid Republic."

"I know! But the holes made by the 37mm machine gun... are there only the Orchid Republic? Could it be the pirates of the Iron Fist Empire? The Kingdom of Negan doesn't even use 37mm machine guns, but directly uses fully automatic beam machine guns! They, are they too rampant in the Orchid Republic? This is obviously bullying the Empire, right?"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"Our Empire has not equipped the 37mm machine gun. They! This is ridiculous! No! Absolutely not! Tell the following arsenals that the 37mm machine gun is no longer available, and give me the 4mm caliber!"

"This... We don't have that technology at all, and even the Savage Weapons Company and the Crurod Empire behind it, their introduction documents did not give us any information about the 4mm caliber. Android and Apple are both available. 】 Contents of millimeter caliber machine guns. ”

“What machine guns does the Krurod Empire army use for air defense now? They haven’t used 37mm caliber for a long time.”

"Your Majesty, they also use beam cannons and plasma cannons. Even if the Krurod Empire is willing to sell them to us, we simply cannot copy such high-tech anti-aircraft weapons."

"What about the older 4【To be honest, I have been using them recently, both Android and Apple are OK.】cannons? They don't have any in stock?"

"Yes, they do..."

"Then ask me!"

"Yes."

"Go!"

Obviously, Quan Cuiren was really furious. In addition to not declaring war diplomatically and carrying out large-scale military operations, the Orchid Republic has too many small actions in private.

So many that he can't stand it.

There is no need to say much about the reason. The Orchid Republic now has a prime minister who was born as a gray-haired pariah. If there were not many officials and representatives in the Great Hall of the Orchid Republic to stop it, this prime minister would definitely carry out more serious acts of regime subversion against the Guangwu Empire.

After all, the Orchid Republic is not like these empires or kingdoms that rose through military means. On the contrary, it is a republic that rose through peaceful and stable economic development.

First of all, there are not many republican countries in this world, and many countries adopt monarchy because they dislike its slow development speed.

Next is the economy. Although the Orchid Republic under the republic system has invested a lot in the military, the happiness of the people is the second highest in Neoland, second only to the Kingdom of Negan.

Just the catering industry, Quan Cuiren can't figure it out. The annual tax revenue provided by restaurants and hotels in the Orchid Republic accounts for almost one-fifth of the total tax revenue provided by all industries in the country.
