Chapter 619: Sister Control Is a Disease and Must Be Cured
When Tang En and the others came back, Fiona had already arrived with a group of people.
Seeing Tang En, Fiona raised her eyebrows: "Your speed is much faster than I expected."
Although Twain and the others set off on Harley-Davidson motorcycles this time, Fiona did not expect that Twain and the others would go so much faster, three or four days shorter than the estimated time.
"I met Angus, and he teleported me directly here."
Tang En gave a brief explanation, and Fiona immediately understood.
"People have been brought here, half are novices and half are veterans. They are all very experienced. They can get everything done in a few days. You don't have to worry about the base. As for the meeting with Oscar, you plan to have an official visit. Or is it a private meeting?”
Tang En was startled: "Is there any difference?"
Fiona sighed helplessly: "The difference is huge."
"If it is an official visit, you are representing the Illus Empire. Not only do we need to carefully consider your dress, but we also need to prepare an honor guard. At the same time, your every word and deed must be carefully considered, because the other party is likely to analyze you carefully. Every word and deed, analyze your intentions from inside."
"If it is a private meeting, you don't need to pay too much attention to these. As long as you make a request to meet, I believe that with Queen Olena here, Oscar will not avoid it. However, accordingly, the things decided in a private meeting are generally It won’t be made public, it will be more secretive.”
"Then let's have a private meeting."
Tang En didn't want to cause too much trouble. He was very uncomfortable with that kind of environment.
"Then send someone to send a request for a personal note, in the name of Queen Olena."
Fiona curled her lips. If it was an official visit, the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce could just use this opportunity to publicize its official entry into Nanilla. Unfortunately, Tang En was unwilling, and Fiona would not force him on such a matter.
After Fiona arrived, the entire stronghold immediately became lively. Everyone was busy decorating the place and transporting some goods at the same time to prepare for the next store operation. Nanila is a commercial capital. Due to Oscar's policy tendencies, The procedures for opening a store here are very simple. You can even open a store first and complete the procedures later. Of course, you cannot sell any illegal contraband, such as banned military supplies or hallucinogenic drugs.
At the same time, a request for a personal note in Olina's name was sent to the palace and presented to King Oscar of Ronitante.
"What!? Olena is already in Nanila!?"
Oscar suddenly saw the news that his sister had arrived in Nanila, and he immediately stood up with a look of ecstasy: "Why didn't she just come to the palace directly, and why did she send a note and request? It's so unreasonable!"
"His Majesty."
The staff next to him whispered: "Princess Olena is now the queen of the Illus Empire, her status is different..."
That's right, although Olena is the former princess of the Ronitant Kingdom who grew up in Nanila, she is now the queen of the Illus Empire and represents the Illus Empire. Of course, she cannot be like before Then he could enter and leave the Ronitante Palace at will.
But Oscar didn't think so.
His sister was forced to marry Victor politically and sacrifice her life. Now she finally managed to survive and became the queen of a country. Now she comes back to look for her, obviously for a greater thing - to let Ilru The Sri Lankan Empire and the Ronitant Kingdom merge into one!
Yes, that's what Oscar thinks. When the time comes when the brothers and sisters work together and the two countries merge into one, and annex the small principalities between the two countries, a giant empire can be born again. At that time, who else dares to look down on him? ?
Yes, Oscar knew his sister thoroughly, and he believed that Olina would definitely hand over the merged empire to him to rule.
At this time, several guests sitting opposite him in a very awkward posture couldn't help but speak in Loen with a very strange accent: "Your Majesty Oscar, regarding the reinforcements we just talked about..."
If Tang En had been present, he would have exclaimed, "Holy shit!" because the guests sitting opposite Oscar were none other than Naga from the Sea of Abyss!
Although Naga is a deep-sea race, they can come to land, but they prefer to live under the sea than on land.
Oscar shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I think I need to emphasize again that our Ronitante Kingdom's naval power is very weak, and I will not let them die in vain."
A slightly smaller female Naga with bulging secondary sexual characteristics on her chest, who was obviously the person in charge, said: "But you once said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be traded. We can pay a high enough salary to hire you."
"That's when there is a chance of winning. The current situation is that even you can't guarantee to defeat them, let alone us."
"But aren't we allies?"
Oscar spread his hands: "Yes, Princess Celis, we are allies, but that is only a trade alliance. Our alliance contract does not include strategic defense alliance regulations, right?"
Celis frowned slightly and couldn't help but say: "If we can't resist their attack, we will be trapped in a war for a long time, and those deep-sea pearls, minerals, corals, etc. will no longer be provided."
Celisis is forcing the palace, and now Naga's situation is so troublesome that they have to find support.
Oscar raised his eyes and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. The pearl market is now saturated, so it's okay to delay the trading hours. Of course, our food and equipment will no longer be able to be transported to you."
This cunning human being!
Celis was furious, but she had no words to reply.
Logically speaking, as a species of marine life, we should not encounter the problem of food shortage in a sea with abundant resources. The vast and boundless sea contains very rich biological resources, and there are countless sea fish. Edible seaweed, etc., can completely feed the entire Naga Kingdom.
But the problem now is that the former allies of the Furious Murlocs have suddenly turned into enemies. A large number of Nagas have devoted themselves to the stalemate battlefield. There are very few Nagas that can be used to collect and herd fish, and the output has been completely exhausted. It is not enough to supply the needs of the tribe, so they need to trade with humans, exchanging food and finished equipment through useless black pearls, corals and deep-sea ores that are difficult to process.
The Nagas do not have the forging skills of the Furious Murlocs. They are not good at processing seabed ores into excellent equipment, so they can only sell those ores to humans on the surface, and then exchange them for usable equipment at a discount. They can often build ten sets of equipment. The ore can only be exchanged for a set of usable equipment. With each incoming and outgoing, Naga lost blood, but the businessmen of the Ronitant Kingdom who obtained the business license made a lot of money.
The call for help failed, and Celis and her entourage could only leave the palace feeling depressed.
After Celis left, the staff whispered: "Your Majesty, stopping trade with Naga is not good for us. Now Ronitant still needs Naga's specialties to maintain its leading position in trade."
"I know they will not sever trade relations with us because they need the food we provide more."
Oscar squinted his eyes and sneered: "Everyone knows that war is all about manpower and materials. Now the Nagas can't spare any extra manpower to collect food, which means they will be even more dependent on our food supply. , and will issue an order later, starting today, the guidance price for grain transactions with Naga will be increased by five points across the board."
The staff was shocked: "Your Majesty, if the price increase is so drastic, if it makes them angry..."
"Don't worry, they won't care about such a small increase."
Oscar smiled sinisterly: "The abyss is so big, and the materials are so rich? Naga has lived there for so many years, and their family wealth is richer than we imagined. Believe me, the more dangerous they are, the more they need us. , if we help them at the critical moment, they will be fully attached to our Ronitant Kingdom, and then I will be able to obtain a group of excellent navy that does not require training for free. "
The staff immediately realized that it was no wonder that His Majesty was unwilling to send troops despite the quarrel with Princess Celisis. It turned out that this was his idea!
Indeed, compared with the current trade, the benefits of directly swallowing up the entire opponent's ethnic group are greater, which is equivalent to obtaining a group of powerful warrior mages once and for all, as well as farmers who can collect deep sea resources.
Now the staff was convinced: "As expected of your Majesty, you have a long-term vision."
"Are you the staff member or am I the staff member?"
Oscar felt relieved by this horse shot and said with a smile: "Help me cancel tomorrow's arrangements. If Celisis comes again, tell her that I am very busy. I have to meet Olena tomorrow. We have been together for many years." No more, let’s have a good talk this time.”
"Understood, Your Majesty."
The staff thought for a moment and whispered: "About that Regent Tang En..."
"Twain? Don't worry, he should be the shield that my sister used to block those guys with ulterior motives."
Oscar curled his lips and said, "Didn't you see that he obtained the status of Marquis at the last moment? Just to stop those people's mouths."
"But there are rumors that he captured Gilad and shattered the Dark Serpent's conspiracy..."
"This is to build momentum, so my sister is really capable. In order to stop those people's mouths, she created a hero."
Oscar sighed, and then said with a gloomy face: "Hey, even if it is a shield, I still want to see if this Twain is worthy of standing next to my sister."
The staff member opened his mouth. That was not what the news he received said, but looking at Oscar's infatuated and selective listening look, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.
Sister control is a disease and it needs to be cured.
