"Let me sort it out..."

Gastens slowed down the pace of conversation. The proposal of the Republic of Neglu was a bit surprising to him to be honest. Although Elena is beginning to show her existence in the international community, she still has a long way to go before she can be on an equal footing with the traditional six major countries. In his judgment, the Republic of Neglu would not regard him as an opponent who can treat Elena as an opponent who can be treated equally and even offer prices for negotiations.

"You, or the Workers' Party of the Republic of Negro, have made a suggestion to me. The suggestion is that if I am willing to authorize the production of the Thunder One and the Brave Rifles to you, you will agree that we love Lena and be the new owners of Ankenrien, right?"

"Yeah... basically that's what it means," Hutt Gulakos nodded, "As the second largest party in the Republic of Negro, as a comrade who also believes in communism and pursues communism, I think we can still trust."

"The design and manufacturing method of two guns, change to another country?" Gastens repeated again, "This is not too cost-effective for us, right?"

"I'm glad you think so," Hutt Gulakos' expression did not fluctuate much. "If you initially approve our suggestions, we can enter more substantial negotiations later. However, it's better to be quick. When we defeat Paul Chung and attack Ankenrien, the weapons you provide may not be that helpful."

"You are so confident that you can beat Ankenriin?" Gastens asked while thinking.

"This country is corrupt. Moreover, it is more corrupt than other countries. As a citizen of this country, you should know better than me, as an opponent of standing up and opposing this country's system?" Hutt Gulakos did not directly answer Gastens's question, but asked a rhetorical question. However, the meaning of his words, whether it was Gastens or Thomas Gulakos, could be understood.

"Okay, I get it."

Gastens nodded and stood up, "I'm glad you made such a proposal, we will seriously consider it. Now, please allow me to introduce Elena to you and arrange for you to have a rest. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will give you a formal answer on this question, is it OK?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to your good news."

Hutt Gulakos nodded with a smile and followed Gastens out of the conference room. Gastens took him to visit Elena's small town and factory, and placed him in a guesthouse dedicated to reception of visitors. Then he found an opportunity to call Thomas Gulakos out.

"Boss, I really didn't know he was going to make this suggestion before I came. He just said he wanted to see you and would like to send you a message..."

As soon as he got the chance to be alone, Thomas Gulakos began to apologize without waiting for Gastens to speak. Gastens waited for him to finish speaking before he began to appease him.

"It's okay, even if you don't pass through you, people from the Negru Republic can find other ways to meet me. This is not the main problem."

Hearing Gastens's reply, Thomas showed a reassurance expression. He turned to care about another thing.

"Boss, do you think the suggestions made by my brother are reliable?"

"Before reliable or not, we must first think of a question." Gastens has basically figured out how to deal with this matter during this period. "The other party represents the Workers' Party of the Republic of Neglu, the second largest party in this country, and the enemy that is invading us. The Republic of Neglu is the six major countries as famous as Ankrein. In terms of national strength and technical level, it is even more advanced than Ankrein. Do you think such a country will negotiate on an equal footing with us?"

"But he said, because we all believe in communism..."

"It is the Workers' Party that believes in communism, not the Republic of Negro. If we promised him and handed over the design and production of two weapons, they repent and said that this was the decision of the parliament. The Workers' Party has done its best to help us fulfill our promises. What should we do?"

What Gastens hoped Gulakos understood was the problem of the implementation of the agreement brought about by the huge gap between Elena and the Republic of Negro. As he said, if Elena accepted the conditions of the Republic of Negro, not to mention whether this behavior was treason, but whether the other party could guarantee their previous promises would be unable to supervise and would not have the power to hold them accountable.

"...We really have no choice, but we are all followers of communism, and they are still the few communist forces in this world. They shouldn't cheat us, right?"

"You expect a moderate communist party in a capitalist country and our determination to launch a revolution and eliminate the bourgeoisie to stand in a trench?"

Gastens reached out and patted Gulakos, "Let's talk about the specific evening meeting. This matter must be held at the meeting, but you should also understand my opinion. I don't trust this matter very much. What's more, I don't want to treason."

Gastens clearly expressed his thoughts, so Gulakos left all his questions to the council at night. When Gastens proposed the proposal of the Republic of Negro to everyone to discuss it, it was indeed unexpected and caused a huge response. The members of the council had a heated discussion on this and finally adopted Gastens's opinion.

As an Ankenrien, even if he does not agree with the system of this country, does not like the way this country operates, he cannot betray the country, nor can he use foreign forces to eliminate the country. This is fundamental. Moreover, Elena is unable to supervise the suggestions put forward by the other party, and he cannot guarantee the normal implementation of the agreement. Considering that the production line leakage of the two advanced weapons can bring weapons and combat effectiveness bonuses to soldiers of the Niglu Republic, the members attending the meeting basically passed the final resolution unanimously.

Reject the initiative proposed by Hut Gulakos and continue to adhere to the path of independent development of Elena. After all, as Gastens said, no matter how good the things others give, they can only be from others. The society that communists want to build can only be established by communists.

"It's really a pity, you don't know what you missed."

Het Gulakos said this at the last moment of leaving Elena. He waved his hand and disappeared from Gastens and his brother's vision. Gastens watched the carriage he was riding slowly leaving and returned to Elena with Gulakos. There are too many things to deal with, and he doesn't have much time to think about a thing he has decided. It was not until night, when he could be alone in the office with Daisy late at night that he picked up the topic again.

"Dear, you said, did I miss an opportunity to win the revolution quickly?"

"Of course not. Didn't we say it all? If the enemy goes back on his word, we have no choice. Moreover, we don't want to be traitors."

Daisy put the strong tea made for Gastens on the table and sat on Gastens's lap, "And, aren't you the most staunch opponent? It turns out that she is hesitating?"

Gastens shook his head. Even if he put this matter in front of him again and made him choose, he probably would still reject Hut Gulakos. The reason he mentioned it again was more because of the temptation that Elena faced now. From Paul Bell to the Tower of Judgment Mages, from the Republic of Negru to more potential forces. Those at the highest level of the world have noticed themselves. But they have no strength to fight with them at all. In this case, not to mention negotiations, just sitting on the same table is walking a tightrope for Elena. If you are not careful, you may lose all your money.

"I just think that Elena may have attracted too many people's attention too early..."

This time Gastens said his heart. He has been back in this world for two years. He has achieved achievements that he had never imagined before, but has tied himself to this chariot. On his shoulders, there is no longer only dreams, but also more responsibilities. His decision did not affect himself, but the tens of thousands of people of Elena, even Ankenrien, Negru and ordinary people from more distant countries. Unconsciously, his influence has already set off a storm in this familiar and unfamiliar world. And Elena is located in the center of the storm.

"You can do it." Daisy felt Gastens's panic and uneasiness sensitively. She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to melt herself in the arms of this man.

"If you can't, there will be no one in this world."

After saying that, without even giving Gastens a chance to answer, Daisy kissed Gastens's lips.

Night is hot and dry.

——————————————

Hutt's carriage left Elena and stopped in a valley. He took off his dress and formal clothes, changed into refugee clothes, got out of the car and disappeared into the valley. He walked through Elena's control area, chatted with the farmers who were re-dividing the land, and then passed through the chaotic area of ​​the power vacuum, entered the defense zone of the Fifth Legion, bypassed the eyes of the soldiers, and avoided the troops stationed outside the defense line. He crossed mountains and ridges, with the help of different tools and clothing, passed through the blockade line between the two sides, found the Eastern Front Command of the Republic of Negru, and met the commander of the Eastern Front Command, Taijia Bush.

"What do they say?"

The Tai family Bush looked in a good mood. Although his old opponent, Paul Zhong, did not choose to surrender in the end, chose to continue fighting. But he still didn't think this was a problem. He stood in front of the sand table, watching the troops on both sides, and did not raise his head when he talked to Hut Gulakos.

“Gastens rejected our advice.”

"This is normal," Tai's Bush smiled and shook his head. "These Ankenriin's barbarians, although their country is backward and ignorant, are somewhat foolish and loyal. Paul Zhong is also. He knows that he will not be forgiven by the emperor with the same name as him, but he still insists on establishing a defense line in Enspan Province. He doesn't think about it. Apart from us, is there any place in this world where he lives?"

Hutt Gulakos did not answer. His task was to negotiate, report, and not to chat with this big man. He felt that this big man would not want to chat with him.

"What kind of place do you think Elena is? I heard that there is a communist and wife, but I don't know if it is true or not."

What surprised Hutt was that the Tai family seemed to want to chat with him today. He thought about it, remembered the people he met at Elena, thought of him, and clearly refused his younger brother who asked for some information to be revealed, and thought of the new farmers he saw on his way back, smiling and ploughing his own land. After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of two words to describe the Elena he met.

"Sir, in my opinion, it is a mysterious and terrible place." After Hutt said this, he saw the Tai family looking at him with great interest, knowing that he should continue to speak. He organized his language a little, introduced his experiences along the way, focused on describing Elena's status, and negotiated with him with Gastens. The Tai family listened very seriously, and would ask questions when they didn't understand and didn't know. Fortunately, Hutt's memory is pretty good, and he basically answered the Tai family's questions and answered his questions.

"Hurt, do you know what you see, what is it?"

After hearing this, Tai'e Bush asked a question back. Hurt was stunned and did not answer.

“That’s faith.”

Given this answer, the Tai family's expression became serious, "If everyone does not have this kind of thing, it doesn't matter. However, if some people have it, these people will do very terrible things. Especially in the eyes of us, many of their behaviors will become unreasonable. What's more terrible is that if they happen to be our enemies, you will see what real fear is."

Is that true?

Hurt didn't know. In his understanding, the Niglu Republic, which had steam cannons, was determined to win this war, was invincible. Their opponent, the decadent, backward, and the country was full of wars and could not hold on to it, would never win this war anyway. And the small place of Elena, a place with only some advanced weapons, may have less than 50,000 people, really deserves the description of the Tai family?

"Don't disbelief," the Tai family walked around the sand table and walked out of the command center. His generals and staff followed him and watched his own army outside with him.

"You have not fought with the army of faith. Neither of me. But I know, if possible, don't fight such an enemy."

"But, aren't we going to hit Ailena?" Someone asked behind Tai's house.

"It's about fighting," the Tai family turned around with a serious and serious expression. "It's best to kill this kind of thing before they grow up. Moreover, they have what we want in their hands. Capture Elena, get the Brave Rifle and Thunder Rifle, and match our steam guns. The Republic of Niglu will truly stand at the top of this world."

Seeing that the Tai family mentioned the next strategy, everyone became serious. The Tai family looked around and emphasized their strategy again.

"Elena, although this place is small, the things they have have have have have have a huge impact. At the fastest speed, rely on steam cannons to break through the enemy's last line of defense and take down Elena. No one in this world can stop our Negru Republic. By that time, we will become the well-deserved largest country!"
