The person who came to discuss with Zhang Tie the terms negotiated by the powerful families in the Ewendalla Islands was also a famous figure in the Ewendalar Islands. One of them was Connor, the patriarch of the Leonard family on Aklay Island. One is Brightman, the patriarch of the Willis family on Gantiyadu Island.
Both men are over sixty years old, which in this era is the prime time of life for many men.
If Zhang Tie had not appeared, both Connor and Brightman would be the popular candidates for the speaker of the Ewendara Parliament being formed. Among them, Connor, the patriarch of the Leonard family, is the person behind the Ewendala Parliament. The most important driving force behind the scenes.
Seeing Connor, Zhang Tie took a serious look at this guy - gray-brown hair, a high, aquiline nose, deep-set eye sockets, and a strong chin. At first glance, he was not a simple person.
Compared to Connor, Brightman, the patriarch of the Willis family on Gantiyadu Island, looks like a pampered engineer—wearing glasses, gentle and almost harmless.
Of course, Zhang Tie would not regard Brightman as a harmless engineer - the Willis family on Gantiyadu Island is still an ally of the Spencer family on the Evandara Islands. The relationship between the two parties is very Being so close, a family that is qualified to be an ally of the Spencer family is naturally not an ordinary family.
"Your Excellency Peter, these are the conditions negotiated by the various families of our Ewenda Islands. If you can agree to this condition, then everything will be implemented accordingly. If you do not agree. Then, in order to defend our respective families in Ewenda For the interests of the Archipelago, we will not hesitate to fight against the ice and snow wasteland. Even if we pay a huge price, we will not hesitate!" Connor spoke and placed a document signed by all participants in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie opened the document politely, but in fact he already knew the contents of the document. As the landowner of Hailan Castle, Mrs. Olina was also the coordinator between herself and the various families in the Ewendala Islands. In the past two days, I have already had many contacts with representatives of various wealthy families who came to Hailan Castle. In such contacts, Mrs. Olena has already figured out the bottom line of the wealthy families in the Ewendaral Islands.
this document. It was the conditions put forward by these wealthy families in the Evandala Islands, and their bottom line was that if they did not agree, more than 70% of the wealthy families would evacuate the Evandala Islands. Then he formed the exiled parliament of Ewendara in the western continent, constantly causing trouble for the ice and snow wasteland, and consuming himself. This is indeed very difficult.
It was Connor, the patriarch of the Leonard family, who proposed to form a parliament in exile overseas to fight with him.
"Half of the North Wind Fleet and an equal number of the combined fleets of the Evendale Islands will have a life-and-death battle at sea to determine the future of the Evendale Islands. If the North Wind Fleet wins, then the Evendale Islands will The various families and islands in the Islands will surrender to me unconditionally, and if the United Fleet wins, then, except St. Genna Island, the status quo will remain the same. The other islands in the Evandala Archipelago will also maintain the status quo, and the Ice and Snow Wasteland will no longer seek annexation. Other parts of the Evandara Islands?" Zhang Tie glanced at the contents of the document, then raised his eyes to look at Connor and Brightman. "This is your condition! I have to say that you have considered it very carefully!" A smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face, and he didn't know whether it was agreement or sarcasm.
This condition seems fair, but in fact it is somewhat unfair to the Beifeng Fleet, because to be fair, considering the fleet's combat experience and training level. The Beifeng Fleet, which has just been established for less than five years, is in terms of personnel quality. There is indeed some gap between the combined fleet of the Ewendalla Islands, which has called the sea its home all year round.
This condition was almost carefully prepared to take into account the consequences of the failure of the North Wind Fleet. First of all, if he failed, then the Ice and Snow Wasteland would only lose half of the North Wind Fleet. Secondly, he also retained control over St. Genna Island. With such control, such a result can allow one to step down "honorably" without becoming angry and taking risks.
"This condition is a gambling battle between the fleets without the participation of knight-level masters of the Ice and Snow Wasteland and witnessed by all parties!" Connor said calmly, "The Ewendara Islands is a place that worships the sea. Here Everyone in the world has a different feeling for the sea, and will admire the brave men who can truly conquer the sea. The Ice and Snow Wasteland wants to annex the Evandara Islands, unless the Ice and Snow Wasteland shows the power to make us surrender on the sea, otherwise , we will not truly surrender. The only result of trying to conquer the Ewendalla Islands by pure force is that the ice and snow wasteland can only be ruined! In the Ewendalar Islands, there is a famous saying that has been circulating for a long time, I I think you should have heard of it!”
"What famous quote?"
"A knight can conquer the land, but not the sea!"
Zhang Tie smiled indifferently. For ordinary knights, this is indeed the case. In this world, the area of the sea is much wider than the land. Even if the knights can fly, the flying ability of the knights is greatly reduced on the sea, because compared to most For knights, the flight limit is more than a thousand kilometers. On the sea, this distance is really nothing. Contrary to the knights, the fleet has stronger maneuverability and concealment capabilities at sea, which affects the lifeline of maritime traffic and navigation. Other ships on the sea have greater deterrence, so this sentence spreads in the Evandara Islands. This sentence not only illustrates part of the truth, of course, it is also part of the society of an island group that lacks knights. A kind of self-comfort. To myself, this sentence is a joke.
Facing the joke, Zhang Tie smiled. He didn't care and didn't want to argue. Zhang Tie just raised his eyes and glanced at Brightman, "Does the Willis family think so too?"
"This gambling battle is not only defending the interests of the Evenndala Islands, but more importantly, the dignity of the Evenndala Islands. If you can make the families of the Evenndala Islands behave in a dignified way, If I lower my head to you, then I think this will be a good result for everyone, and using force to the end will only hurt both sides!"
"Dignity?" Zhang Tie smiled. "Okay, I agree. I promise that neither I nor the knights of the Ice and Snow Wasteland will take action. Let the two fleets have a duel in front of everyone, and the fleet that survives at sea in the end will be the winner! However, I also have a condition..."
"What conditions?"
"I hope that the fleet of the Leonard family will face off against half of the Beifeng fleet. I know the size of the fleet and the strength of the fleet of the Leonard family. I can already participate in such a gambling battle!"
A bright light flashed in Connor's eyes, but he still kept a smile on his face. "I agree! But there is one more thing I want to remind you. In order to ensure the fairness of this gambling war, various families in the Evandala Islands have united and voluntarily subscribed for a gambling deposit of 200 million gold coins, and invited Jinpeng Bank as this The guarantor for the performance of this gambling contract!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie just felt that these wealthy families in the Ewendaral Islands were really damn rich. In order to prevent themselves from cheating, these guys actually collected a deposit of 200 million gold coins at once, and even roped in Jinpeng Bank as a guarantor. They were indeed scheming, and they seemed to feel that they were sure to win. The 200 million gold coins If you win the gambling war margin, then the reverse is true. For the sake of the money, Jinpeng Bank will also supervise the wealthy families in the Evandala Islands to fulfill their bets with them.
Generally speaking, this kind of origin comes from the war between territory and power. Jinpeng Bank will not get involved, but if it is a contract, that is another matter.
It's just that such a contract can definitely be regarded as a huge gamble.
Zhang Tie deliberately thought for a moment with a solemn face, "No problem, I agree!"
Hear this. Connor couldn't help but smile, even Brightman looked at Zhang Tie. There was also something else, which was not contempt, but more like a gentle sigh for Zhang Tie's age, wisdom and judgment.
After watching Connor and Brightman leave the room, a smile slowly appeared on Zhang Tie's face, and the smile slowly became brighter...
If you want to play, then play with a bigger one!
Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly became extremely deep...
…
A side door in the room opened gently, and Mrs. Olena, wearing a black dress, walked over with a hint of worry on her face, swaying. She had been listening in the room next to her just now.
"This gambling battle is very dangerous!" Mrs. Olina said to Zhang Tie.
"Is this the room where you usually work in Hailan Castle? The environment of the room is good." Zhang Tie looked at the environment of the room and said after looking around.
Mrs. Olena's face turned red inexplicably, "Aren't you worried at all?"
"Why should I worry?" Zhang Tie laughed and gently hugged Mrs. Olina, "Do you want to make money, make a lot of money?"
Mrs. Olina was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhang Tie meant, "What did you say?"
"Well, now I am the boss, and you are a beautiful secretary who wants to seduce me. You are a commercial spy. You want to hear such important business information from the boss. What do you think you will do?" Zhang Tie said seriously, Then he sat down on the chair.
Mrs. Olena's ears were a little red, and her eyes gradually became filled with a charming glow...
…
Two hours later, Elder Turing and Elder Gulas stood in front of Zhang Tie, who looked proud of himself, with equally worried faces. Zhang Tie only said one sentence to the two elders, "I don't want to explain anything, I just Let me tell you, from now on, you will try your best to get money, whether in the name of the Ice Bear Tribe or the Iron Bear Tribe, you can get as much money as you can, whether it is gold coins, loans, Mortgage, financing, or gold delivery rights, it doesn't matter, there is an opportunity to make a fortune in front of you. How much you can earn depends on how much you can get. Within ten days, I promise to at least double the money you get."
The two elders were stunned...
