Luke couldn't help but smile after learning from the visiting Acting Dean Makatina that King Clover wished to board the Kirov steam airship.

In the Emerald Palace, the Three-leaf King is the host, and the Golden Shield Palace is the guest. In terms of status, the Three-leaf King is the ruler of the Emerald Forest, and he is only the chief minister of a country. There is a big difference in status. According to etiquette, it should be

I went to visit the Palace by the Emerald Lake on my own.

It would be very disrespectful for King Sanye to offer to visit the chief minister of the Golden Shield Empire who came from afar. That's why Macatina took the lead this time.

So Luke publicly sent an invitation letter to Emerald Lake: He sincerely invited King Clover to visit the Kirov steam airship.

The Three-leaf King has gained face, and so has the Golden Shield Empire.

Soon King Sanye led a delegation of elders to board the Kirov steam airship to start formal negotiations between the Emerald Forest and the Golden Shield Empire.

Mrs. Mihir has almost reached an agreement with the Emerald Forest on cooperation in commercial trade and alchemy technology. After both parties have agreed to the terms, they only need the signatures of Luke and the Three-leaf King to come into effect.

Joining the "free trade body" is the core of the negotiations between the two parties.

Among them, currency interoperability weakens the role of the World Bank's gold bonds in trade, which is also the core purpose of the Golden Shield Empire's establishment of a "free trade body".

Emerald Forest's joining the "free trade body" this time has touched the sensitive nerves of the World Bank. It does not want to continue to stimulate the Shuojin people by weakening the gold bonds, so the detailed negotiations have become very difficult.

The covenant just signed with the Dragon Kingdom is where King Sanye's confidence lies. He is trying to gain more benefits for the Emerald Forest on the condition of joining the "free trade body".

In the first negotiation, the two sides argued for more than ten hours, and late into the night neither party came up with a result that both sides recognized.

This situation was expected by Luke, and he did not intend to settle the matter in a short time.

The purpose of the Golden Shield Empire's support to the Emerald Forest this time is to buy horse bones with a lot of money. Now the trend has been established all over the world. If it ends too quickly, it will give people the feeling that the Golden Shield Empire is bullying the weak and taking advantage of others' danger.

.

Anyway, the meat of Emerald Forest is already in your mouth, so don’t be in a hurry to swallow it.

So when the two parties agreed to continue the negotiation tomorrow, Luke said to King Sanye: "Your Majesty, I will return to the empire tomorrow, and I will entrust the subsequent negotiations to Mrs. Mihir."

The Three-leaf King was surprised by the sudden return of the meteor: "Is it because we made you feel neglected?"

"No, no... the enthusiasm of the forest elves makes me feel as relaxed as at home." Luke said with a smile: "The main reason is that I have been out for too long this time, and there are still many things waiting for me in the Imperial Palace and Raging Wave City.

I'll handle it, especially the matter of the new emperor's accession to the throne, so there can't be any surprises."

Hearing that Yuexing did not leave because of neglect, King Sanye breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, for the Golden Shield Empire, nothing is more important than the new emperor's enthronement. I have received an invitation to attend the ceremony, and I will definitely attend it then.

Go to Shenglun City to congratulate you."

"On behalf of the empire, I would like to extend my most sincere welcome to His Majesty King Sanye. The signing ceremony of the Emerald Forest's entry into the 'free trade body' will be held during the ceremony."

The Three-Leaf King stood up and stretched out his hand to Luke: "I will sign it during the ceremony. I wish you a safe journey."

Luke shook hands with the Three-Leaf King: "Thank you! I also wish you will lead the Emerald Forest on a prosperous road. The Kirov steam airship will stay here, and I have given an order to allow your Majesty to visit it at will."

The Three-Leaf King couldn't hide his joy when he heard that he could visit the Kirov airship at will.

After entering the airship cabin, the forest elves felt a stronger shock than from the outside. It was as if they had traveled to another world. A lot of magic technology was used here, and many things the forest elves had never heard of. There were also high concentrations

The magical environment makes the mages seem to be immersed in a sea of ​​magical energy.

Just now, King Sanye was thinking about how to learn some magic techniques from the Kirov steam airship, but he didn't expect that the chief assistant of the Meteor Star would let him visit. He believed that with the ability of the forest elf alchemist, there would be no problem in learning some magic techniques.

.

The Three-Leaf King held Luke's hand with both hands: "Thank you, First Assistant of the Falling Star. You and the Golden Shield Empire will definitely be rewarded accordingly for their help to the Emerald Forest!"

Luke also held the Three-Leaf King with both hands: "I believe in the character of the forest elves. I will wait for you in the City of St. Lun."

"good!"

The Clover King left the Kirov steam airship with the Emerald Forest delegation. After Luke explained the bottom line of the Golden Shield Empire to Mrs. Mihir, he rode the black dragon Bale back to the empire overnight.

He indeed spent too much time in the Emerald Forest. Queen Christina's coronation ceremony was approaching. As the chief minister of the empire, he must return to the imperial capital as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation and prevent accidents from happening.

Night shrouded the sea, and the black dragon roared across the starry sky.

The brightly lit Emerald Palace became farther and farther away, and finally only the moon above was left to accompany Luke on this long journey.

After a while, the black dragon Bale said: "King Taotie!"

Luke corrected: "The Taotie King is just an unknown identity of mine. Now I am Meteor, the chief minister of the Golden Shield Empire."

"I'm sorry, Chief Assistant of the Meteor Star." Now the black dragon Bale has great respect for Luke: "Are you willing to take a detour to the Dragon Kingdom? You allow the dragon to return to the Emerald Forest after a thousand years. The dragon kings all want to see you, and they also

We already know that King Taotie is the legacy of the deceased King of the Dragon Kingdom."

Luke considered the option of taking a detour to the Dragon Kingdom, and finally said with regret: "If I go to the Dragon Kingdom at this time, I don't know what will delay my time. Besides, apart from getting to know each other with the Dragon Kings, there will be no real substance.

Effect.

When you return to the Imperial Capital, you will visit the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Kingdom on my behalf. Bring an invitation from the Golden Shield Empire, hoping that the Dragon Kingdom will send a delegation to attend the coronation ceremony of Queen Christina. The scale does not need to be too large, there are four or five people.

Just the Dragon King."

The black dragon Bale replied: "I will follow your will! I think the Dragon Kingdom will be able to welcome back our new king soon!"

Luke laughed and patted the black dragon Bale on the head: "I am a human being, and Taotie is just a young dragon who doesn't understand anything. How can those unruly dragon kings surrender?"

"I accept it!"

Luke laughed louder and looked up at the sky. The moon was as full as a disk, and a figure was flying in the middle of the moonlight.

…

With the blessing of magic, the black dragon Bale flew very fast and flew across the ocean to Raging Waves City the next afternoon.

Luke had just landed at his governor's home when he received a message.

The newly established Revival Society in Rio won the popular election, formed a national parliament, and officially took power. The Renaissance Society was based on the exiled government of the former Republic of Rio. After absorbing a group of nobles and local powerful people from the old kingdom, it became

As the largest political group in Rio de Janeiro, it won the election with an overwhelming advantage over other competitors.

The new parliament in power did not restore the Republic of Rio, but instead honored Yin who was far away in the Golden Valley as Queen of Rio and established the Kingdom of Rio as a constitutional monarchy.

The delegation from the Kingdom of Leo has arrived in Raging Waves City, hoping to be recognized by the Golden Shield Empire and re-establish diplomatic relations between the two countries. Because the empire's chief minister is absent, Queen Christina has not approved the delegation's trip to St. Lun City, so they are stranded in

Raging Wave City, waiting for the return of the leader of the meteorite.

Luke returned to his office and quickly checked the information on the Leo Kingdom collected during this period. Outside the window, the black dragon Bale flew away. He wanted to go to the Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible so that the Dragon Kingdom's envoy could attend the Queen's coronation ceremony in time.

It can be seen from the existing information that the evolution of Leo's political situation has been under the supervision of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service. The entire Leo Kingdom has been penetrated by the Secret Intelligence Service like a sieve. In order to gain the support of the Empire, politicians really

He dares to sell anything.

This time, the mission from the Kingdom of Leo is here to establish diplomatic relations, but in fact everyone has a cooperation plan in their hands representing their respective factions.

The Great Chaos caused by the Restoration War and Pan's death crushed Leo's original interest system. Coupled with the naval blockade of the Golden Shield Empire, factories closed down, a large number of people were unemployed, and production resources that were sold at low prices but could not be sold were everywhere.

.

At this time, whoever has the capital to enter Leo first will be able to enjoy this feast.

The only ones with this level of strength in the world are the World Bank and the Golden Shield Empire.

Everyone in Rio knows that they are too close to the Golden Shield Empire. Whoever dares to bring the World Bank in will never see the sun the next day. Therefore, all parties in Rio are trying their best to stuff their own people into this visiting group.

, just waiting to sell themselves for a good price and follow Nutao City Capital to drink soup.

Queen Christina also saw that Leo's delegation was too complicated, so she didn't let them go to St. Lun City. Another meaning was that she knew that Leo was a dish that Meteor had laid out for a long time, and keeping it until Meteor came back was to express her feelings towards

This dish is not interesting.

Sandwiched among the information about the new Leo Kingdom is a report on the current status of various industries in Leo.

Rio's economic system collapsed, inflation made the national currency look like waste paper, and all hard assets were at cabbage prices.

This is the best time to buy lows.

In order to buy out Leo, the capitalists in Raging Wave City were already sharpening their knives and were waiting for the chief assistant of Meteor Star to return home to issue orders.

Yin Buer, who was already the Minister of Finance of the Empire, came all the way from St. Lun City to Raging Wave City for this purpose. He picked up a knife and fork at the City Government Affairs Hall and waited for the banquet to begin.

Now that the food is on the table, Luke is not polite.

Summon the Leo Kingdom envoy.

The next day, the Governor's Palace of Nutao City announced that Nutao City Bank would provide the Leo Kingdom with a loan worth 5 billion imperial marks for the infrastructure construction of the Leo Kingdom.

Raging Wave City fully funded the renovation of the Leo Palace, and the restored Leo Palace was opened to the public as a museum.

Meteorite, the chief minister of the empire, expressed his willingness to restore diplomatic relations between the empire and the Leo Kingdom, and invited the president of the Leo Congress to come to St. Lun City to participate in the empire celebration.

The Nutao City Business Group established the Leo Kingdom Economic, Trade and Investment Committee, with the First Assistant of Meteor Star as the Chairman and Minister Yin Buer as the Vice Chairman. The responsibility of the Leo Kingdom Economic, Trade and Investment Committee is to coordinate the investment of Nutao City merchants in Leo and avoid vicious competition.

, help Rio's industries get out of trouble and resume production as soon as possible.

Before the Kingdom of Leo issues a new national currency, the Imperial Mark and the old currency of Leo can be circulated in Leo at the same time. The City of Raging Waves encourages merchants going to the Kingdom of Leo to use Imperial Marks for transactions, which will help the Kingdom of Leo to quickly accumulate

Reichsmark, used to import necessities from the Reich.

The chief assistant of Meteor Star proposed to set up Samuel Port in Leo Kingdom as a free port, allowing imperial warships to dock freely for supplies.

The chief assistant of Meteor Star proposed that the Leo Kingdom apply to the empire for garrisoning troops to make up for the lack of national defense strength.

The chief minister of Meteor Star proposed to help the Kingdom of Leo establish a national defense force, abolish local warlords and illegal armed forces, and centralize the command of the army under the leadership of Congress.

The chief assistant of Meteor Star proposed that the Leo Kingdom join the "free trade body".

The chief assistant of Meteor Star proposed that the Leo Kingdom revise its textbooks to reduce the historical conflicts between the two countries and increase the intimacy between the two countries.

The chief assistant of Meteor Star proposed...

…

As if hearing the starting gun, ships and airships swarmed out of Raging Waves City and headed east. The Kingdom of Leo in front dropped all its defenses, waiting for the thugs to come.

According to the calculations of the First Assistant Staff Group, after this harvest, more than half of the economy of the Kingdom of Leo will be controlled by the capital of Raging Wave City. Among them, heavy industries such as steel, machinery, and alchemy and high-precision industries will be directly or indirectly controlled by Yanyang.

Group control.

It can be said that the economic lifeline of the entire Leo Kingdom is in Luke's hands. A comprador class will be born within the Leo Kingdom and become the white gloves of the capital of Raging Wave City, used to control Leo's economy.

As for the upper-level ruling structure of the Leo Kingdom, it will be trapped in the electoral infighting designed by Luke for them. The capital of Raging Wave City funds the puppets through white gloves, and those who are obedient will go up, and those who are disobedient will come down.

What the common people at the bottom can see are the MPs and Speakers elected by themselves one by one. If they have any complaints, just replace them with a new batch.

Opening up and down in this way, holding the reins and hiding on one side, as long as the Golden Shield Empire does not fall, the Leo Kingdom will not be able to get out of this siege.

Leo, who has been on the side of the bed so far and has made all the emperors of the Golden Shield Empire restless, is finally solved. When Port Samuel is obtained, it and Raging Wave City will be stuck on both sides of the channel like two gates. Most of them

If maritime countries want to follow the World Bank in sanctioning the Golden Shield Empire, they must first consider how much loss of profits this route will bring to them.

I wonder if Yin is okay in Golden Valley?

After sending the Leo mission away, Luke couldn't help but stand by the window and look at the ocean outside. The strong wind blew, causing the waves to surge. There were ships leaving the harbor against the waves, and airships fighting against the strong wind. His belief in a better future made him

They dare to face strong winds and waves.

The empire was also ready at this time. It was like a steam turbine steaming train, running on the road to dawn after all faults were eliminated.

"Sir, Chief Assistant!" Yeguo opened the door and walked in, his special boots clicking on the marble floor tiles: "The airship to the imperial capital is ready. Now there is a sudden strong wind outside. Do you want to postpone the departure time?"
Chapter completed!
