After all, to be honest, with the current increasingly advanced industrial development, there are too many oak factories in Caparia that can no longer keep up with the times;
The Oak Factory, which produces parts for the Gappa 1404 rifle, will face the fate of being shut down in five years.
On the one hand, as a basic rifle, the Gappa 1404 rifle may be replaced by future semi-automatic rifles or fully automatic rifles at any time.
By then, even the parts may not be universal, and these huge oak factories may become a burden to the United Nations...
Yang Hao loves the oak trees in the Elf Forest, but he also knows that personal feelings are not an obstacle to national change and progress - now, the Sirens' flesh and blood magic gives Yang Hao the possibility of having the best of both worlds.
On the one hand, the oak tree cannot be cut down or burned, and this is the bottom line of the elves -
But the elves can accept a certain degree of "improvement" to the oak tree without damaging it.
On the other hand, since Siren's flesh magic can turn inorganic matter into flesh and blood to quickly remove obstacles, it can also turn half of the oak factory into flesh and blood without damaging the main structure of the oak tree, and then let it fall off naturally, and finally let the oak trees grow into the right shape...
Although it is unclear whether the flesh and blood magic will cause fundamental damage to the oak tree, how can we know what it will become if we don't try
Anyway, it is impossible to cut down the trees now. If even the Siren's flesh and blood magic cannot make the oak trees accept it, then in the future Yang Hao can only accept the fact that the once advanced industrial area of Gaparia will become a burden to the country...
He and Fen looked at each other and thought it was feasible—but then Yang Hao suddenly thought of something...
If the Sirens could create organs like the brain with enough magic power...
Isn't that...
Our population problem... has been solved
Yang Hao's eyes immediately became sharp.
At the same time in the Kingdom of Eden, Elena, who was preparing for a trip in the library, sneezed.
"Ah Qiu!"
She rubbed her nose in confusion.
I was wondering how this perfect body could even simulate the reaction of being sick
…
Elena has actually been observing Yang Hao for a very long time.
Through almost constant monitoring day and night - she meant the care between friends. At least Elena understood what Yang Hao's previous military action was about.
She was surprised at the effect of Yang Hao's transformation of the airship. After all, even the Kingdom of Eden rarely used airships for war.
But Yang Hao's modification gave Elena a new idea... Perhaps in the future, the sparsely populated Eden people could also use airships to release large amounts of magic power from high to low to attack
Of course, this is just one of those small things.
The real big deal for Elena is the existence of Lalumia...
“Confused: A true conceptual god? But she is very weak and at this stage she is likely to be killed just like a mortal… Dissatisfied: Why would she value Yang Hao so much for no reason? Logically speaking, aren’t gods most likely to ignore the existence of ordinary lives because of their long lives?”
The synthetic doll muttered to itself while using magic to change its clothes in front of the mirror.
After a long period of "care", Elena knew Yang Hao's favorite colors and styles.
But after thinking about it, she realized that she was not suitable to wear the nun's robes, so Elena could only choose the color of clothes that suited her best...
Maybe red clothes are nice, but after thinking about it, Elena finally chose a blue and white dress that formed a contrast with Yang Hao's current clothes and gave a "dedicated" feeling.
This dress is perfect for Elena, except that a part of her body is just slightly bigger than an elf, which makes it less attractive... It's really perfect.
Wearing such a perfect dress naturally means that Elena has her own desires. To be honest, this is also one of the purposes of her going to the meeting this afternoon.
Rather than continuing to develop on its own, the Kingdom of Eden would be better off merging into the big family of the United Kingdom and working together - this was the conclusion Elena came to after discussing with the magic puppets.
"Calm: After all, Bayerzas and Japaria still have their own sovereignty after being merged into the United Nations... As long as the sovereignty is ensured, it is not a problem for Eden to be incorporated into the United Nations."
The synthetic doll paced back and forth in her room, and after confirming for the last time that the decorations on her body were so perfect, she walked out the door, came to the balcony, and just looked at the capital below, which had been rebuilt in rags but with almost no one in sight, and sighed heavily.
“As long as we can merge with the United States and completely open the borders to the United States to allow residents to move freely, perhaps our city can regain its vitality...
Doubt: I just don’t know what Yang Hao is thinking... He has his difficulties, but I have mine too. Can we reach a consensus on this matter
Question: Or does the current status of "friends" not support us to have deeper cooperation
What should we do? After all, from the screen, it seems that the black dragon of Ishugard has already obtained everything it can as a "friend", but these still do not involve the population flow of the United Nations...
What should we do
And... Confused: That Lalumia, "Light" seems to have been deliberately guiding Miss Naruga and Miss Natalia to be hostile to me... What is going on?"
The synthetic doll muttered, jumped off the balcony, and the next moment was decomposed by the magic net and appeared on the east side of the Eden continent, in a port that was newly built last night.
In the port, the airship for travel has been prepared. Only Elena and a few magic puppets are going out this time. After all, to be honest, when everyone has things to deal with, Elena can't let the magic puppets stop their work for her...
Of course, another more important reason is to show Yang Hao one's trust and sincerity.
She entered the cabin under the gaze of the magic puppets. After taking a short rest in the cabin's lounge, the magic puppet Alexander came over and uploaded a piece of information through the magic network. He said with emotion:
"The situation on the ground is still not optimistic... I don't know when the Ice Disaster will take effect, but the peace of the Roman Empire is about to be broken."
"Confused: Didn't the Roman Empire enter a state of war a long time ago?"
"But the previous state of war was prevented by the zombies as a balancing element. If the zombies had resisted the invasion, the Roman Empire would have had some time to breathe... But those zombies are about to be dealt with."
Alexander stretched out his hand and summoned a screen. Under the gaze of Azielena, the picture on the screen changed from the authentic food of the United Nations to the surveillance picture of the "cameras" that the Kingdom of Eden had deployed all over the continent of Elucia after its reconstruction.
As the various surveillance images changed, Elena saw that the number of living dead people between the camps of the Roman Empire, the Isgard colonial army, and the Khutot Khanate had been visibly reduced.
They are eating each other. Because they really can't find food, these undead groups that are still "alive" in theory but are controlled by people will completely disappear in two months at most.
If the colonial army and the army of the Khutot Khanate could be more powerful, the area could be cleared out even by the end of this month.
At that time, the defense of the Roman Empire's military border will directly face the test of invasion from the two countries...
If nothing unexpected happens, the United Nations will also launch military operations, but their targets seem to be the Territory of Skool and the neighboring Territory of Kagad
Elena recalled what she had heard when she was "concerned" before. She nodded and approved of her own thoughts, and also approved of Yang Hao's thoughts: after all, if it were her, she would not really fight against the Roman Empire at this stage:
After all, the Roman Empire has too much worthless land. Whether it is good for the Kingdom of Eden or the United Kingdom, two sparsely populated countries ruling too much land... This is definitely not a good thing.
"Question: I already understand the war aspect... but where is the pessimistic part?"
Elena asked Alexander. Facing Elena's question, Alexander shrugged:
"It's the Roman Empire. His Majesty Yang Hao once said that there might be demons in the Roman Empire. The faster the Roman Empire is defeated... the faster the demons will act.
We will not discuss what the demon will do for now, but what is certain is that the activities of the Roman Empire will definitely cause the ice disaster in the north to continue to act.
We don’t have much information about the Ice Disaster. But what is certain is that our current “Colossus” weapons have not been deployed.
We still have a lot of blind spots in our defense against the invasion of the Ice Calamity, especially in the northern part of the forest further east. That is our complete blind spot, and the Ice Calamity is likely to move south from there..."
Alexander continued to talk incessantly, and the airship took the opportunity to sail out of the port.
Elena thought about it, indeed, the "connectivity" of the demons was a big problem for them.
On the one hand, the "devil" of the Roman Empire is a villain with unknown abilities and may be extremely insidious and cunning.
Without knowing the abilities of this demon, Elena hopes that Yang Hao and others can carefully determine a plan to fight this demon.
On the other hand, the Ice Disaster is also a powerful enemy that is tightly holding the throats of the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eden.
As a powerful Titan demon that existed thousands of years ago, it is no exaggeration to say that if the Ice Disaster really appeared in the territory of the current United Nations... perhaps the loss of population would be enough to make Yang Hao suffer, right
In general, the demons of the Roman Empire and the demons of the North are the culprits that affect the future strategic planning of the two countries - and it is certain that changes in the Roman Empire will definitely change the demons as well.
This is really a difficult task... Elena sighed. It was at this moment that she thought of the existence of "Light" Lalumia who was rescued by Yang Hao and others.
Maybe the rescue of "Light" actually has a lot to do with the devil? If Lalumia really has the ability to fight against the devil. Maybe... Yang Hao has found a solution to the problem
Elena was looking forward to it. Just as she was looking forward to whether Yang Hao had prepared a response plan, the meeting between Yang Hao and Nia finally came to an end...
At the end of the negotiations, not only did everyone determine the priority rights for decommissioning artificial magic reactors and the price reduction of magic storage equipment, but Yang Hao also determined the next strategy for finding jobs for the Sirens.
But after that, they also talked about some more important things...
"In other words... Isgard's "business trip" hopes that I can go on it this year?" Yang Hao sighed in distress, "Isn't this year too tight?"
If I were to go on a business trip to Ishugard at the end of this year, not only would I not be able to celebrate the New Year at home, but more importantly, if something major happened on the continent of Elucia in the next two years, it would be difficult for me to take care of the management of two countries at the same time.
You can't take Fen with you on your business trip, right
Yang Hao shook his head in distress, while Fen first put forward his own opinion:
"Miss Nia, are you too impatient? Although my man has made a promise, it may not happen this year - at least wait a year or two before starting?"
The little elf frowned, and after feeling that his words might not carry enough weight, he also involved Theresa, who was nowhere to be found:
"Not only is the war on the Elucia continent imminent, but more importantly, our country still needs an heir... At least we should let the Queen of Bayerzas get pregnant before going on a business trip to Isgard, right?"
Although no one knew why Theresa was dragged into this at the critical moment, it was obvious to the naked eye that the helplessness on Nia's face became even more pronounced.
Using children as a shield is always so effective. No matter how shameless the Black Dragon is, she doesn't have the ability to make Yang Hao abandon his wife and daughter and go to Ishugard...
What's more, Nia doesn't want to be at odds with Yang Hao - so after thinking about it, it is necessary to respect a man's own opinions appropriately, isn't it
Nia sighed and said that if that was the case, then it would not be impossible to start traveling next year... But after all, Ishugard also hoped that people could come faster.
"After all, we have our own difficulties... It would be better if His Majesty Yang Hao could keep his promise and resolve this issue as soon as possible."
"But I always feel like you have other ideas?"
"How is that possible?"
Nia laughed, but the sensitive elf realized the Black Dragon's momentary hesitation;
There is indeed a problem.
The elf muttered. At this time, the waiter outside came in and said that the border sentry had discovered the movement of the Kingdom of Eden. Should we immediately prepare a new reception room for Her Majesty Elena's arrival
Yang Hao thought about it and decided that since the last meeting with Nia was not going well, instead of wasting time here, he might as well use this as an excuse to quickly prepare for the next work...
So he first asked the waiter to prepare the new reception room, and then suggested to Nia "to talk about it privately later."
Nia got up and left tactfully, but when she left, her somewhat complaining look still made Yang Hao feel a little uneasy...
He always felt that Nia seemed to have other intentions towards him, but more importantly, he didn't know what Nia's real thoughts were about him.
Finn seemed to have some ideas, but he didn't quite agree with Finn's views...
"You said Nia would like me to lay a dragon egg for her? That's impossible... As a diplomat, she should know the importance of doing this. Even if she is forced to stay in our country... Do you think it's possible?"
In the new reception room, Yang Hao collapsed on the sofa, relieving the pain in his stomach with a cup of warm, fatty coffee, while sighing at the little elf sitting on his lap and resting.
Even if Nia really wanted to do anything to me, if the black dragon was really pregnant, it would be more likely that I would keep her here... How could Yang Hao run to Ishugard just because of the black dragon's pregnancy? Impossible!
And he also believed that as a diplomat, Nia must understand this principle.
He said that using a "child" to restrain an emperor was unrealistic in itself... not to mention that Nia was just a diplomat.
If Nia was a queen, then maybe Yang Hao could be forced to stay in Isgard... But she is just a diplomat...
"So, this is impossible... It would be better for you to worry about Elena instead of Nia, right?"
Thinking of this, Yang Hao put down the coffee cup in his hand, and while rubbing Fen's hair, he came to his own conclusion.
Faced with Yang Hao's conclusion, the elf's mouth twitched for a long time before he said out loud what was in his mind: "At least she won't let you leave this continent."
They just sat there in silence. After a while, they sat down in their seats properly after being reminded by the waiters.
Not long after that, Elena came in - she was wearing a blue and white dress and looked as beautiful and elegant as a gem.
After she came in, she "immediately" keenly noticed the little unhappiness and dullness between Yang Hao and Fen. A hint of mystery flashed in her eyes. After a simple greeting, the little synthetic doll said while enjoying her coffee:
"Statement: Yang Hao, you should have received the message I gave you earlier... Please put aside the matter regarding the production line for the time being - I came here this time for a more important goal."
The Queen of Eden put down the coffee cup in her hand. After looking at Finn seriously, Elena made a suggestion in front of her:
"Conclusion: For the better development of our two countries, how about letting Eden join the United Nations while ensuring its sovereignty?"
…
The sudden proposal stunned even Yang Hao, who already understood Elena's behavior.
He and Finn just stared at each other blankly, occasionally looking at Elena who had a serious face, and occasionally looking at each other.
Suddenly, they thought it would be better to let Theresa come over now.
At least Theresa could secretly cast a tranquilizing spell on them to calm her boiling brain, so that she could calm down now...
But the current situation does not allow them to call Theresa over.
So after a few minutes of sudden silence...
Yang Hao opened his mouth, took a deep breath and coughed several times, then he covered his face and sighed:
