"What's this?"

"Gift." Diana Lister said.

She stuffed the packaging box to the stunned assistant, then pulled her hair loose, spread her hands and lay on the reception sofa in the office, looking completely isolated from the outside world. The poor assistant could only hold this heavy gift, try to curl up, and find an opportunity to move to the single sofa on the other side. Before that, the assistant tentatively touched her wrist, confirming that Diana Liszt was just closing her eyes to rest instead of dying suddenly after being exhausted.

"But this is a gift from the Imperial Guard, that is, it is a gift from the Emperor." The assistant asked softly, "What is it in it? Do you have a private friendship with the Emperor?"

"If you are in my position, you will have it," Diana Lister replied with her eyes closed. She has transformed from the college girl who would be scared to screaming by a chainsaw sword to a sophisticated affairs officer, and her assistant has become her past. "As for what the gift is, I don't know."

The gifts are not fixed, sometimes given to thank her for her hard work, sometimes just because of the politeness that is necessary during the holidays. And the value of the gifts is completely unregular, sometimes it is a CD of classic TV series, sometimes it is expensive jewelry, and sometimes it is just a weapon.

"You might as well take apart and take a look. I'll allow you to experience the surprise."

"Oh! This is really considerate!" After opening the gift, the assistant looked surprised, "A bottle of perfume!"

"That should be the logo produced by the emperor's own alchemy workshop. It's very expensive, and there are not many people in this world." Diana opened her eyes and took the perfume bottle and took a look, asked her assistant to put the perfume bottle into the display cabinet facing the living room, then took the thick documents stacked on the table and placed it under her head, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The documents she used as pillows are a very important set of documents, which are the industrial standard agreements handed over by some Mars Foundry and the Immortal City to Wakanda. They include various models, evaluation standards for high-strength quick-dry concrete for different purposes, standard operating templates for road and bridge reinforcement, new freight system transportation network pass codes, whole-country network defense protocol pass codes, fiber optic production standards and evaluation standards, etc.

Due to its economic strength, the scope of infrastructure was limited to the provinces directly under the jurisdiction of Latovigna. Now that after reaching a comprehensive cooperation with Wakanda, large-scale infrastructure construction that can meet the needs of the emperor has begun. Although Wakanda's industry can easily integrate into Latovigna's technical level, completely different current standards still require the Wakanda people to spend time researching and cannot be copied and copied.

However, most of these technologies are not different from those used in Wakanda today. Staff from the Hahnburg scientific research base can be easily connected. Wakanda people also provide technical support to the Mars Foundry and the Immortal City through technology exchange and patent fees. Even if the price for a hundred years is slightly lower, Hahnburg can make a fortune.

The Wakanda mission stayed in Latovigna for half a month, and new agreements and cooperation were reached almost every day.

But just like the cooperation between Immortal City and Wakanda, the Emperor of Latovia always suppressed Wakanda's technology exchange at a relatively marginal position. The main body of technology is still the Immortal City and the Mars Foundry. While ensuring that the lifeblood of the industry is not in the hands of others, Wakanda cannot have an impact on domestic politics. In the last week of visit, Latovia's wine, cosmetics, fishing catch, rubber and wheat, Wakanda minerals, gems, fruits, animal products and other foreign trade agricultural, fishery and hunting commodities were the highlights of the transaction list. The Wakanda commercial aristocrats, who have always been excluded from industrial trade, felt the huge profits brought by foreign trade for the first time.

As a symbol of national exchanges and personal friendship, the Wakanda royal family presented the Emperor of Latovian a crown with a large number of exquisite jewelry, which was much more luxurious than the imperial crown of the British royal family. As expected, the final destination of this crown was also a museum rather than a castle. However, this crown also inspired the curiosity of the people of Latovian about the wealth of Wakanda. In this case, the civil exchanges and tourism between the two countries naturally developed. As the first open object of Wakanda, Latovian folk tour groups were even allowed to enter the Golden City for tours, and the capital of Latovian also struck while the iron was hot and organized an event to arrange a formal visit to Wakanda.

It can be said that the final result of this visit was that everyone was satisfied. Even Techara temporarily left the impact of the previous coup because of the huge profits brought by these transactions, and enjoyed a short vacation in Latovigna. Like Wakanda, Latovigna, refused to join the global trade system and used a new framework led by Latovigna itself. The result of this behavior was that the global trade system dominated by capitalist countries was left aside, and popular settlement currencies such as the US dollar and the euro were completely bypassed. In addition, Latovigna's special geographical location controls the lifeblood of European circuit supply lines. Since the Wakanda mission visited, condemnation in European and American media has been continuously carried out.

At first they called the exchange between Latovigna and Wakanda "a last choice under international diplomatic dilemma". The subtext is that Latovigna has no friends in the international community and can only establish diplomatic relations with African third world countries to establish the legitimacy of its own rule. But when Wakanda demonstrated its technological strength, they also called this behavior of bypassing the global international trade system "disregarding the interests of all mankind" and "technological oligopoly", calling on Wakanda to open up international exchanges, and to "recognize the reality" and "protect the interests of the free world", and then proposed economic sanctions on "unruly behavior" of Latovigna and Wakanda.

After the first expansion war, hundreds of sanctions were imposed on Latvinia, and later most of them were lifted under the threat of the Latvinia emperor who was "a threat far exceeding the nuclear bomb". Perhaps it was because the Latvinia emperor's willingness to maintain order was considered a manifestation of weakness by European elected parliamentarians. Even though he knew who the commander behind the scenes was, Latvinia still cut off the supply of circuit lines to the Eastern European part of the EU and the Black Sea and Mediterranean freight routes in the EU.

Now the ocean freighter can cross the Suez Canal and the Black Sea Strait, but cannot transport the goods to Europe. A large number of commercial activities have been affected by geopolitics. During the Wakanda state visit, the cost of industrial electricity in Europe increased by 10%, and crude oil prices have been rising steadily. No matter how the idiots below shouted slogans, politicians and the chaebols behind politicians must not make less money. Those smarter politicians know that they cannot use tough means to force Latovigna. After all, the state of war between NATO and Latovigna has not ended in name, and NATO cannot use effective means to deal with the attacks in Latovigna. All sanctions against Latovigna are easily considered acts of war, and war will only lead to beheading strikes called "The whole family dies."

Therefore, as long as Latovigna does not launch an expansion expedition to Western Europe, all politicians will try their best to maintain an open false peace with Latovigna and ensure that they and the chaebols behind them can continue to make money. The emperor and the regent are also happy to see this situation. Latovigna now does not need to increase management costs and fiscal expenditures. For example, the merger proposal initiated by Modoval, which has always wanted to be incorporated into Romania was rejected by Regent Victor von Dum, because Latovigna does not need a poor country with extremely weak industrial base to increase fiscal expenditures, but it needs a country to serve as a buffer zone for geopolitics to prevent the entire country from deviating from the emperor's plan.
