Chapter 1386 Too Much

In the palace of Jindu Kingdom, King Bradlow and several important ministers were talking about Lin Li's purchase of magic crystal naval guns. They all knew that the Prince of Monterey took Lin Li to see the goods today. Although it was difficult to say anything in front of Lin Li yesterday, it was inevitable to have some discussions at this time.

Especially several former war ministers. Although they dare not talk about starting a war now, they definitely don't have much favorable impression of Lin Li in their hearts. During the founding ceremony, Lin Li saved the Jindu Kingdom, but for these ministers, it seemed that there was no need to be very grateful to Lin Li.

Everyone in the Jindu Kingdom knows that the magic crystal naval guns Lin Li needs cannot be one or two, because the Twilight Tower has been purchasing magic crystal naval guns from the Jindu Kingdom a long time ago, but the Jindu Kingdom has Keep looking for various reasons to delay.

However, if you purchase a large number of magic crystal naval guns, transportation will be a problem that you have to face no matter what.

Yesterday, I followed King Bradlow to the Tower of Dusk to express his gratitude to Lin Li. Several ministers heard with their own ears that Lin Li rejected Bradlow's offer to help with transportation. If the Tower of Twilight itself had enough transportation power, they wouldn't find it so strange. But the problem is that until now, they have not heard about the Tower of Twilight recruiting a transport fleet.

"Just wait and see, that President Ferre is too proud, and I'm afraid he will inevitably ask for our help in the end." A minister said to everyone as if he had seen through everything.

Bradlow couldn't help but frowned when he heard that. He was a little dissatisfied with the minister's tone and said in a deep voice: "If you need help, we will help you. What's the use of saying this! I'm calling you here today, not to listen to you. What we are discussing is to discuss future strategies for Qingfeng Plain."

The Kingdom of Jindu is indeed going to change its strategy towards the Qingfeng Plain. Not to mention that the main war faction wanted to occupy the Qingfeng Plain by force in the past, even the main peace faction also placed themselves in a very high position at the time, and they were not interested in Qingfeng Plain. Feng Pingyuan adopts the attitude of giving alms and making peace.

But now, the war faction naturally does not dare to mention the occupation by force, and the peace faction also wants to change its original mentality. Otherwise, if you continue to develop a relationship with Qingfeng Plain with the same attitude as before, you may still be slapped in the face.

While everyone in Jindu Kingdom was discussing this issue, a palace guard ran in from outside and reported to King Bradlow that Prince Monterey was back.

"Oh, he's back? Invite him in quickly!" Bradlow quickly asked the palace guard to call Monterey in, eager to hear how Monterey handled the matter.

Soon, the Prince of Monterey walked in. Although he did not forget to salute Bradlow, the anxious expression on his face suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

Bradlow's heart sank slightly, and he didn't even bother to let Prince Monterey sit down, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong Monterey, is there something wrong with the matter?"

The ministers also showed curious expressions, wondering how the usually calm Prince Monterey could behave like this. Especially the ministers related to the manufacturing of magic crystal naval guns, they were even more concerned, fearing that one of their subordinates was blind and would cause some trouble at this time.

Looking at Bradlow, Prince Monterey showed a wry smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty, President Ferre's selection of magic crystal naval guns went very smoothly. And the original girl I came back just wanted to Let me ask you, how far will we go with this transaction, and at what price are we going to sell it to President Ferre’s magic crystal naval gun?”

Hearing the words of Prince Monterey, Bradlow suddenly became a little unhappy, and even complained about why Monterey couldn't do things. He frowned and said: "Didn't I say before, he can't buy much anyway, so we just Just give it to him as a personal favor."

Although the cost of making magic crystal naval guns is not low, with the financial resources of the Jindu Kingdom, there is still no problem in giving Lin Li twenty or thirty of them for free. In addition, Lin Li did not ask Jindu Kingdom to help with transportation, which made Bradlow think that Lin Li only needed twenty or thirty magic crystal naval guns at most.

However, after hearing Bradlow's words, the bitter smile on Monterey's face became thicker and he said: "But Your Majesty, the number of magic crystal naval guns that President Ferre wants is really quite a lot. If they are all in vain, If you give it away, even we can't afford it! That's why I came back to ask for your opinion and see what kind of price is appropriate."

"Hey, Prince Monterey is too exaggerated. Then President Ferre wants more, so how much more can he get? Twenty or thirty magic crystal naval guns already require considerable transportation capacity. Could it be that Ferre would The commander has changed his mind and wants us to help with transportation?" Right Minister Badjis said with some disdain.

Right Chancellor Badjis was originally the leader of the main war faction, hoping to gain more power through a war on Qingfeng Plain, but now this plan has come to nothing. However, even if he did not start a war on Qingfeng Plain, his resentment towards Lin Li did not change much, and it could even be said that he became even more disgusted.

However, Badgers is still smart and knows that at this time, he must not act too much. He can only express his dissatisfaction with a few mocking words like this.

Bradlow didn't care to pay attention to the tone of Badgers and others. He looked at Prince Monterey and said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "Monterey, haven't I already given you full authority over this matter?" Have you dealt with it? As long as we meet President Ferre's requirements as much as possible within our ability, the most important thing is to improve the relationship between us. A little financial contribution is nothing! You Tell me, how many magic crystal naval guns he wants, and how many."

Now, Bradlow was worried not about the financial price he would pay, but that Prince Monterey's behavior of running back to ask for his opinion would cause displeasure on Lin Li's side. After all, they had already made promises on their own before, but now they have to discuss something, which will inevitably give the other party a feeling that they have no final say.

Faced with Bradlow's vaguely reprimanding questions, Prince Monterey was obviously a little aggrieved. Instead of telling the truth directly, he held out two fingers and said: "Your Majesty, President Ferre wants the magic crystal naval gun." With this number, I really can’t make the decision.”

"Two hundred?" Bradlow was silent for a moment. This number was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. If the two hundred magic crystal naval guns were used as a favor, even he would feel a little painful.

The faces of several ministers of the Jindu Kingdom also changed slightly. The value of two hundred magic crystal naval guns, if calculated purely in gold coins, would probably be worth the tax revenue of the Jindu Kingdom for several years.

Therefore, several ministers expressed their dissatisfaction and said: "Are you kidding? Two hundred magic crystal naval guns, then President Ferre's appetite must be too much. Moreover, two hundred magic crystal naval guns, How will he transport it back? In the end, I’m afraid we will have to help him transport it again!”

Bradlow couldn't help but hesitate a little. After all, this knife would cut off a piece of the boss's flesh. However, when it comes to things like favor, you have to do it thoroughly. If it's just the cost price, it doesn't count as favor.

However, considering the importance of establishing a good relationship with an inscription master, although he felt very painful in his heart, after weighing it for a moment, Bradlow still said to Monterey: "Okay, you go back and tell President Ferre , the two hundred magic crystal naval guns are regarded as a thank you gift for him for helping us kill the demon this time. Moreover, if he has difficulty in transportation, we can also fully help him transport the magic crystal naval guns back to the Breeze Plains. "

As Bradlow said this, he felt in his heart that he was stabbed with a knife while dripping blood, and he had to help the other party deliver the goods to his door. This felt a bit cheap no matter how you looked at it.

However, just as Bradlow finished speaking and the ministers of Jindu Kingdom were still trying to persuade him a few more words, Prince Monterey looked at Bradlow and shook his head, with a very helpless expression on his face. Said: "Your Majesty is very sorry, President Fei Lei wants not two hundred magic crystal naval guns but two thousand!"

Two thousand doors!

A gasping "hissing" sound suddenly sounded in the spacious palace.

Bradlow felt his eyes going dark and almost fell off the throne. He managed to stabilize his body and urgently confirmed to Monterey: "What did you say? Say it again, how many naval guns does President Ferre want? "

The ministers also focused their attention on Prince Monterey, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Indeed, two thousand magic crystal naval guns, not two thousand spears, are the entire inventory of Jindu Kingdom currently, and they have been accumulated by Jindu Kingdom for many years. If this were done all at once, it would be equivalent to directly crippling the Kingdom of Jindu. This would no longer be cutting off the flesh, but amputation!

Prince Monterey, after a small revenge on everyone, knew that enough was enough, so he said: "Yes, Your Majesty, President Ferre wants to purchase two thousand magic crystal naval guns. This morning, we have already stored all the magic crystal cannons." I searched all the warehouses of crystal naval guns and finally collected two thousand guns. So, I came back and wanted to ask, at what price should we sell it to him?"

"Impossible, how can they transport two thousand magic crystal naval guns back to the Qingfeng Plain? He is kidding us!" After Badgers and other ministers reacted, they all expressed disbelief.

Two hundred magic crystal naval guns already require a quite large transport fleet to transport, and the transport capacity required for two thousand magic crystal naval guns has even exceeded the capacity limit of Jindu Kingdom. At dusk What does the tower use for transportation?

The questions from several ministers gave Bradlow a glimmer of hope. He looked at Prince Monterey and said, "Monterey, are you sure President Ferre is not joking? I know that those two things in the past made President Ferre may have some opinions about us, so it’s understandable to make a joke. However, you should be able to tell whether the other party is serious."

Seeing everyone's ignorant performance, Monterey sighed helplessly and said: "Transporting two thousand magic crystal naval guns is not a problem at all for President Ferre. He has a space magic equipment that is comparable to an artifact. It is very easy. Just put two thousand magic crystal naval guns in it. So, I know very well that he is not joking."

Although what Monterey said was true, this fact was even more difficult for Bradlow and others to accept than the news just now. The space magic equipment that can easily hold two thousand magic crystal naval guns is simply unimaginable to them. Even in myths and legends, there is probably nothing so exaggerated.

However, Bradlow and others knew that Monterey would obviously not lie about this matter, so they could only believe that Lin Li really had such a magical weapon. And then the problem came, two thousand magic crystal naval guns, no matter how generous Bradlow was, he couldn't give them away for free.

Not to mention giving it away for free, even at a cost-only price, it would still be a huge loss for Jindu Kingdom. In the Kingdom of Jindu, magic crystal naval guns are not ordinary commodities, but strategic reserve materials. In addition to the cost of manufacturing, they also have a more important significance. For example, if you want to rebuild the Fifth Fleet that was destroyed by Lin Li, if you only have ships but no cannons, can they still be considered battleships?

Therefore, even if these two thousand magic crystal naval guns are sold to Lin Li at a high price, they will have a considerable impact on the Jindu Kingdom. And this influence, UU Reading www. uukanshu.ｎnet It will not be eliminated soon. Only slowly as new magic crystal naval guns are manufactured and stored can the impact of this be gradually eliminated.

But the problem now is that Lin Li has stored more than two thousand magic crystal naval guns in the Ring of Endless Storm. When Monterey came back to report to Bradlow, he only discussed the price of the magic crystal naval gun. It can be said that even if the Kingdom of Jindu wanted to regret it, it was already too late.

"This, this is too much. So what exactly does Ferey want to do? Isn't the compensation we give him enough?" Right Minister Badjis and several former war ministers immediately expressed their disapproval of Lin Li's behavior. , showing extreme dissatisfaction. That is to say, their minds are still clear and they have not opened their mouths to start a war. If it were changed in the past, it would definitely be an excellent excuse to start a war.

Bradlow waved his hand. Although he complained about the Prince of Monterey in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he said to the ministers: "Okay, let's discuss now, at what price should we sell it to President Feyre, please use those magic crystal naval guns."

When Bradlow said this, it was tantamount to admitting defeat, and he could only think about how to reduce the kingdom's losses. However, wanting to make up for the losses was not as simple as charging Lin Li a high price. After all, the original intention of the Jindu Kingdom was to get closer to Lin Li through the transaction of magic crystal naval guns. However, if Lin Li is charged a high price, then the transaction will be just a transaction, and there will be no friendship at all.
