Chapter 695 Bastion

(There's still a bit left uncoded, please wait 15 minutes before reading. I apologize greatly.)

Kovojedich and other members exchanged glances and swallowed hard, still hesitating, "Mr. Schumann, even if the sailors and workers are willing to defend Gdansk, we don't have enough weapons."

Schumann gave a slight smile: "Actually, you know, I do some business that isn't exactly regulation.

"The 'Fat Fils' ship docked in the port is mine, loaded with weapons destined for the Middle East. If necessary, we can have my Persian guests wait a little longer."

Kovojedich's eyes widened: "This, this is too coincidental! Ah, can you tell me how much 'cargo' is on board?"

"3,500 flintlock guns, as well as enough ammunition to last four months."

This naturally was not a merchant ship sent to Persia, but had been prepared by Joseph long ago for Gdansk and had been kept outside the harbor.
