In addition to this, there are the "angels" of the Church of Light that he has on hand. As a technical reserve, these angels that have been strengthened by the power of the God of Light can undoubtedly be considered high-level resources and are barely worth trading.
And the most important thing is... maybe Elena hopes to obtain a piece of land belonging to the Kingdom of Eden on the continent of Elucia, so that the territory of the Kingdom of Eden can exceed the scope of the floating continent... right
"If it's the Sirens... As our new people, the ones that Nia traded with, we can at most allow the Sirens to cooperate with the Eden people, but immigration is absolutely impossible."
"If it's the captured resource 'Angel', then there's no problem giving her two or three of them - after all, our research progress may be slow, and with Eden's help, it may be faster."
“But if it’s ‘land’… we need to think carefully.”
Yang Hao put the report in his hand on the table. He looked at Fen's slender feet resting on his thighs, curled his lips at her provocative look, and then the man put his hands under the elf's arms and picked her up. Then he put the elf with dead eyes on the chair beside him and took out a map from the drawer:
"On the map, there aren't many places that can trade with Eden... Especially within the Roman Empire, all the valuable places have actually been divided up by us."
On the map of the Elucia continent, the territory of the Roman Empire has been almost divided up by the Triple Alliance.
Isgard longs for the mining areas in the east and the coast in the south, the Khutot Khanate longs for the rich mountains and plains in the center to recuperate, and what the United Nations needs are the mines in the northwest territories of Shkol and Kagad - as for the diocese that is still fighting among itself
There was nothing there except St. Petersburg, and no one thought much about it at the time, but now it seems that it will become the territory of Yang Hao and others.
In this case, the places where Eden can get a share are either ordinary territories that are insignificant, or areas with some resources but territorial disputes... No matter which piece of land is given, it is very difficult for Yang Hao to handle.
If you give too much, you will have to cut your own flesh. By then, the reduction of the interests of the United Nations will be a small matter, but the collapse of the trade based on the original pricing will be a big matter...
But if the price is too low, and Elena's face turns black, the trade between the two countries may come to a standstill in the future...
So no matter what choice Yang Hao makes, it will not be easy.
As for Fen, she thinks that the Eden people's demand for land does not need to be limited to the continent of Elucia, right
"After all, the Roman Empire is now in a state of internal strife, and we ourselves have difficulty in obtaining our own territory... In this case, if the Eden people really want land, why not let them go to the Aresai people?"
"Alessi? Wait..."
"Anyway, the Alessians have already intervened in the war, right? Why would someone who intervened in a war want to stay out of it?"
Finn smiled and slid her fingernails down the map of the Elucia continent. At the edge of the map, she sighed and said: The only problem is that the geographical location may be a little far away.
The archipelago where the Kingdom of Aresai is located is also a long way from the continent of Elucia.
Although the United Nations certainly wouldn't mind opening up their territory to the heads of the Alessians, for the United Nations, this excessive distance is no joke...
In military terms, food and fodder must be sent before troops move out - this is just a small matter.
Politically, in this world where communication is not strictly speaking very convenient, the fact that an enclave has a high probability of becoming a country within a country is a big deal.
Not to mention that in terms of business, it is a painful thing to transport goods or raw materials to an occupied area that is too far away from the mainland... Not to mention that they can only communicate through sea routes.
To sum up, the Alese people are a territory that Yang Hao and others do not need to fight for.
But if the Eden people really want this land, then there will be no problem in letting them handle it: after all, it's like making a pie in the sky. We in the United Nations promised to hand over the territory of Arese to the Eden people for management, but when exactly can we take it down
God knows!
As for the Eden people, if they intend to occupy the entire territory of Aresei on their own, they will definitely face a core problem of being too far away...
After all, from the understanding of Yang Hao and others, the Eden people rely heavily on their magic nets and artificial magic to fight. And these two things are not available in places outside the floating continent.
In this case, the Eden people will have to drive their floating continent to the heads of the Aresai people and shit on them...
But before they shit, the Eden people might cause the collapse of trade due to the movement of the main island, which would lead to the collapse of the livelihood of the people in their country that they had worked so hard to develop and rebuild...
To sum up, even if the United Nations handed the Aresian people's cake to the Kingdom of Eden, they would definitely accept it verbally, but in practice they would still remain on the sidelines.
But geographically, such a large territory has been allocated to the Kingdom of Eden. Even if Elena has any opinions in her mind at that time, she probably won't be able to say anything when faced with the huge loss suffered by her own country, right
Although Yang Hao was quite conflicted about cheating his friend, he changed his mind and thought that friends are friends. I treat my friends kindly, but it is completely different from the country I want to cheat my friends...
After all, this is how politics works - we may go to KOC to eat Crazy Thursday Chicken every day in private, but when it comes to fighting for the interests of our respective countries, don't we still have to argue openly
well!
It would be great if the Kingdom of Eden was also a part of our United Nations... Not to mention the feedback in terms of resources and technology, the administrative "convenience" alone is enough to make Yang Hao envious...
But this is probably impossible.
Yang Hao and Fen looked at each other for a long time, then they sighed heavily:
"Then let's ask when we meet this afternoon."
They approved the request for a meeting with the Kingdom of Eden, and the next thing to do was naturally to negotiate with the Black Dragonia of Isgard...
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Hao decided to have the negotiation while eating.
I hope that after I "inadvertently" exposed Lalumia's true identity yesterday, the guests of Ishgard will show our United Nations more respect.
Yang Hao left the office with Fen in anticipation.
On the other side, Black Dragonia was waiting anxiously in the reception room.
The existence of "God" undoubtedly caused a stir among the high-ranking officials of Ishgard.
Aside from the crazy ideas of some crazier scientists who want to dissect gods to see how they are different from humans, the vast majority of people, including the president's daughter, agree that they should first make contact with the other party.
But if you want to get in touch with the "God" today, then further friendship with the United Nations is definitely essential.
"I hope His Majesty Yang Hao will see how hard I worked yesterday... Sigh. Why can't I use the dragon egg in my belly as a threat someday? Can't this man just walk alone on the street?"
Black Dragon murmured tiredly some dangerous thoughts. While Black Dragon was waiting for the response from Yang Hao and others, in the lounge not far away, Natalia and Nalujia were facing a formidable enemy.
After all, they were also the core members of the Purple Palace, so Theresa naturally introduced Lalumia’s true identity, that is, the identity of "Light", to them.
Faced with Theresa's introduction and Lalumia's gentle and loving smile that looked almost exactly like Theresa's, it would be a lie for Natalia and Naluga to say they were not nervous.
Because their intuition told them... Lalumia didn't seem to be the kind of person Theresa said who wouldn't "interfere too much" in the world...
After all, if you think about it carefully, she has entered politics and has interfered too much with the United Nations...
In this situation, you still say that God will not do anything. Aren’t you treating us too much like children
If that were all, it wouldn't be a problem for them.
The real problem is... little Anna, who was originally afraid of Theresa, was attracted to Lalumia. Under the attraction of the god and the gentle motherhood, little Anna was no longer bothered by the fact that Lalumia and Theresa looked almost identical. At this moment, she was comfortably sitting in Lalumia's arms and dozing off.
Seeing Lalumia's skilled coaxing of the child, Natalia and Naluga's alert level rose three levels again.
Listening to Lalumia's casual mention of "Yang Hao's fatigue" during the chat, the two of them raised their inner alert level by three levels.
Finally, when they heard Lalumia remind them again, "Be sure to pay more attention to the wolf's hand outside the fence" - or pointed at Elena's interference and direct attack...
The girls' inner alert level has reached the highest level.
Because if Lalumia really had no feelings towards Yang Hao, why would she need to remind them like she is doing now, and at the same time, provide them with information about the opponent's movements in a way that "cares" about them so as to attract their attention
(Does our enemy have another god?)
The two girls smiled bitterly.
What they didn’t expect was…
The enemies they have to face may include more than just one Lalumia.
Because Black Dragonia has been forced to give up due to domestic pressure.
She has been carefully considering whether she should fulfill her life's mission on the continent of Elucia while serving her motherland.
As for the legal issues in Isugade
How can you use the sword of monogamy from another continent to kill the officials of polygamy here
But as expected, if I don’t let Margarita feel my hard work, I will still feel unhappy...
Black Dragon gritted his teeth and walked towards the restaurant where the meeting was to be held, led by the maid.
Chapter 8: Eden: Let's merge! —8K
At noon, in the small restaurant of the Purple Palace, Yang Hao and Fen were enjoying the food which was getting better and better, while discussing the next work with Black Dragonia.
There's actually not much to say about Black Dragon's negotiations - basically what Black Dragon proposed were the trivial matters that Yang Hao had promised before, so after all the chatting, their only progress was that both parties reached a consensus on the "promise".
Simply put, Yang Hao wants to lower the selling price of magic storage equipment, reduce various tariffs on Isurgard, and more importantly, strive to give Isurgard priority in [disposing of retired artificial magic reactors] in the future.
Although Yang Hao wanted to push this problem to the Kingdom of Eden at the beginning, he changed his mind and thought that Nia had worked hard for so long, and Ishugard had also demonstrated their value and integrity. It would be too unfair for him to betray his allies.
So after thinking about it, Mr. Yang Hao coughed twice and said to Miss Nia:
"The price adjustment of the magic storage equipment will be made the next time the Isurgard merchant ship comes over. There will be no compensation for the goods that have been traded this time. Is Isurgard acceptable to this?"
The black dragon in the beautiful dress nodded, swallowed the boiled mutton from the northern prairie with chive sauce, and smiled:
"Of course there is no problem. We are still aware of the importance of acting in accordance with the contract - before the next commodity transaction, the magic storage device will be sold at the original price. Compared to this... What about the "artificial magic reactor"? "
"We will do our best to secure priority for Ishgard in handling retired artificial magic reactors. But I can't guarantee that Eden will agree, okay?"
"No, no... As long as Your Majesty Yang Hao is willing to tell Elena, I think she should be willing to consider it carefully... Since these previously agreed promises have been dealt with, why don't we talk about something else?"
"What exactly?"
"Regarding the Sirens' problem - after I came back, I realized that the Sirens seem to have not found a place to use their abilities yet. So I plan to tell Your Majesty Yang Hao first, so that you can at least understand the Sirens' abilities before making a decision."
It turns out it's about the Sirens.
Yang Hao and Fen looked at each other. They really hadn't found a place for the Sirens to be useful at this stage.
Although I know that the Sirens' flesh and blood magic is very powerful, but in the end, how to use it for other purposes other than "clearing obstacles" is a good question...
The United Nations had no experience in letting Sirens work, and Yang Hao, as a visitor from Earth, only subconsciously knew the importance of Sirens' flesh and blood magic. But to put it bluntly, even if we want Sirens to make realistic Happy Cup dolls now, it's not very realistic, right
So, how does Isgard let the Sirens work? If they were just dolls, they wouldn't have such a high position in Isgard, right
Facing the curiosity of the two majesties, Nia just smiled and took a sip of the fruit wine produced in Caparia, and started with the words "The application of flesh and blood magic is very important" and told Yang Hao and others...
It turns out that in Isgard, the Sirens' flesh and blood magic is mainly used in some extremely critical industrial production.
Just like the three indescribable parts of a life-size figure that can only be inflicted with flesh and blood magic, in industry, the Sirens' flesh and blood magic can do things like quickly clear designated obstacles, create biological industries, and most importantly, treat medical and surgical injuries -
The Sirens are not only natural masters of flesh and blood magic, they are also rare doctors in Isgard.
It can be said that as long as the brain can be preserved, the Sirens have the ability to create a new body for that brain.
It's just that in Ishugard, due to the limitation of magic power, the Sirens rarely use their flesh and blood magic to the fullest extent... But in summary, they still have an extremely important position in two major industries:
1. Bioindustry.
Second, medical trauma.
As long as the Sirens are given the right to work in these two professions, they can provide a huge boost to their countries... But how should I put it? This is actually a bit embarrassing for the United Nations...
On the one hand, regarding the issue of medical treatment of trauma, the magic of the elves can even make severed limbs grow back directly -
In a sense, except for the extreme cases like what Nia said [only a head is left and the opponent is a black dragon that is almost immune to magic], in most cases... everyone can use magic to solve the problem.
Yang Hao didn't mean to stop developing medical technology - but that the Sirens' medical status in front of the elves might not be as high as it is in Ishgard... In terms of importance, all we can say is "there is hope in the future."
On the other hand, there are industrial issues...
The current industrial system of Caparia is different from that of Isgard.
What's more, even in Ishgard, there is no biological industry specifically used by the Sirens, right? Otherwise, why are you so eager to get the core technology of my steam factory
Yang Hao's suspicious gaze made Miss Nia smile awkwardly: After all, just like Yang Hao would cheat Isurgard, Isurgard would definitely cheat the United Nations in return...
In a sense, Nia was just making big promises for His Majesty Yang Hao... hehe.
She laughed dryly twice, muttering to herself, "Siren's biological industry really can't find a place to use it in the current industrial system." She was also nervously thinking, "I must let His Majesty Yang Hao see the value of it in the future..."
Nia continued to paint a rosy picture for Yang Hao in a nervous manner.
After Yang Hao and Finn exchanged a glance, he vaguely discovered that Siren's biological industry might be able to achieve a complementary relationship with a certain industrial system of the United Nations...
Think about it...
The Sirens' flesh magic can remove "obstacles" that are originally impossible to destroy, while providing protection for units that have not been transformed into flesh.
The Sirens' flesh magic can work on inorganic matter.
Theoretically, the greatest value of the Sirens' flesh and blood magic is actually the impact that their biological industry can have on the combination with other industrial systems...
And if nothing unexpected happens, these bio-industries should actually be able to affect changes at the genetic level...
Um…
you say-
(Can we combine the Oak Factory with Siren's biological industry, so that the Oak Factory that was originally unable to be transformed can grow back into a more suitable shape after "cutting off" some areas to adapt to future industrial changes?)
Yang Hao was thinking about this big question in his mind.
