Could 30k-ish pikes and horses and swords etc really be worth 6.5B pounds ($12.5B)? He might still be ahead if he asks for the cheque and arranges for delivery...

(I worried briefly that 30k horses might be a lot, but the world population is apparently about 60M, so I dare say they could be had, somewhere.)

Anyway, might be worth haggling a bit more.
