In this case, the only thing that can limit production capacity is probably the shortage of raw materials supply, right
But Ishgard has no idea what the elves' industry is like!
They would only naively think that the elves' industry was just a little more advanced than theirs, and never thought that the industrial bases of both sides were completely different...
This would cause the Isgardians to misjudge, and Yang Hao and his team would benefit - what could be better than this? Yang Hao thought, is there any better
So in the end, everyone agreed with Yang Hao's plan of "fighting and fishing".
It's just a pity for the people of Isgard who have been kept in the dark - if they knew that Yang Hao had come up with such a sinister and despicable plan, they would probably want to tie him up and hand him over to their president to do whatever he wants with him.
But they don't know it now. That's all.
Soon, the break was over.
Alesse's ironclad ship appeared in front of the port. After confirming that the flag of the Elven Kingdom was hanging over the port, they ran as far as they could.
The rumor that the elves held grudges had already spread throughout Arese through the caravans. Even the emperor of Arese would not dare to provoke this powerful nation that had defeated the diocese's northern expeditionary force.
Just after Arese's ironclad ship left the port with a large number of sailing ships that were temporarily equipped with iron hulls, the negotiations between Isgard and Gabai in the conference room of the Green Courtyard seemed particularly harmonious at this moment.
One was like dry wood that was eager to burn, and the other was like a raging fire that was eager to ignite something. The two sides hit it off immediately and the conversation became more and more harmonious.
After Nia and San confirmed that Gaparia agreed to send troops, they signed their names on the previous contract with satisfaction.
Then she proposed another deal: Your Majesty the Regent has taken so many things from us for free, why not use the knowledge in your head to show something? If possible, Ishgard hopes to obtain the knowledge in your head through the transaction
Not to mention that Fen was bewildered after hearing this, Yang Hao smiled and said: Sure, why not
Then he generously presented the idea and technology of the "teleportation book" that can only be used in areas with strong magic power. This technology has been proven to be feasible when used in the current portal network of the Roman Empire. Since it can be used on large doors, it is also possible to shrink it.
Originally, Finn was worried whether this technology would allow Ishugard to gain a great increase in national strength.
But as Yang Hao spoke, Black Dragonnia's expression kept changing, and Fen suddenly realized that this was not a free gift from Yang Hao to Ishugard!
This is basically a trap!
"Your Majesty Yang Hao, have you forgotten that our country is a regional country that lacks magic power?"
Nia's face looked really bad. It was as if she had seen the most delicious seafood brand dish in the world, but she herself was suffering from seafood allergy.
"The technology you provided is indeed very tempting. However, our country simply does not have the magic to do so, so..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Hao was quite surprised: "Will our two countries not trade in magic storage equipment in the future? Then won't you be able to create local abundant magic by yourselves? Although this is only temporary, won't it be enough to supply small portals?"
As soon as he said this, even Fen showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost: Yang Hao, Yang Hao, you are not setting a trap for the Isgardians, you simply want the Isgardians to become our dogs in the future!
In a continent with a shortage of magic power, a country with a shortage of magic power becomes addicted to magic power...
In a sense, this is really a waste of money, especially considering that magic technology like "teleportation" is a strategic-level magic no matter where it is placed, and the magic resources in Ishugard simply cannot support the consumption of this magic...
Yang Hao first gave Ishugard a chance to sit in the front row and appreciate this powerful technology up close, and then when the other party sighed, he added: I have the raw materials you need most for sale here, right
Originally, Ishugard could not resist the magic power of the Elucia continent, and could not resist the temptation of the "magic storage device" jointly created by Caparia and Bayerjans.
Now, they couldn't even straighten their backs after seeing the "magic energy storage device"—
After all, Elusia's magic power is directly linked to the foundation of their future country! No matter how much Japaria raises the price, Ishugard can only bite the bullet and buy it...
Once Ishugard gets used to the convenience of "teleportation" in the future, it will be even more unable to leave the beauty brought by "teleportation", and it will be even more impossible to leave the dependence on magic.
Just like an elf who cannot extricate himself from love once he has tasted its sweetness...
Once Ishugard really accepts Yang Hao's gift, it will probably just be a dog of the United Nations from now on.
Finn felt amused and sad at Yang Hao's ruthless killing. But Yang Hao had never given Isgard a chance to consider.
If Isgard is willing to give up this gift, it might be able to hold its head high and make a more equal deal with the United Nations.
Once you accept it, there is really no way to leave...
Yang Hao just smiled and waited for Nia's reply. He felt that the other party must be in a very difficult situation now. To retain the sovereignty of the country and make an irrefutable transaction in the future, which was humiliating, the black dragon must be suffering in his heart, right
He was even prepared to wait for a month to get a reply, but just when Yang Hao was about to drink some juice to calm down -
Unexpectedly, Black Dragonia accepted the gift very readily. It was as if Yang Hao would not be so cruel to Isgard after eating her to death. She accepted the proposal generously and even asked Yang Hao to hand over the technology to her tonight so that she could immediately send it back to China.
This extremely abnormal change made Yang Hao and Fen a little confused, and they even wondered for a moment whether the lack of magic power in Ishugard was fake
Before they could come up with an answer, Nia made an important request: Since our three countries have cooperated to this extent, if a war is about to break out in the future, why don’t we just share intelligence to facilitate the next war
The sharing of military intelligence made Yang Hao and others hesitate, but it seemed like they were trying to seize the opportunity to win.
Nia stated the important news on her side:
Those elite troops of Arese seemed to be ordered to protect the Roman Palace.
And if nothing unexpected happens, this is a secret deal between Prince Gasson of the Roman Empire and Emperor Arese.
"They might strengthen the defense of the palace, which would put a heavy strain on your plan to save the little empress, Your Majesty Yang Hao? We happen to have the route of that army here... Do you have any ideas?"
She reached her hand into the soft scales of her chest, took out a letter and placed it on the table right in front of Fen, who had an unhappy expression on her face. Then she looked at Yang Hao with a smile, waiting for Yang Hao's reply, who had an unhappy expression on his face.

Nia reached her hand into the soft scales of her chest, took out a letter and placed it on the table right in front of Fen, who had an unhappy expression on his face. Then she looked at Yang Hao with a smile, waiting for Yang Hao's reply, who had an unhappy expression on his face.
Yang Hao was still thinking about what Nia had just said - what did she just say
"They might strengthen the defense of the palace, which would put a heavy strain on your plan to save the little empress, Your Majesty Yang Hao? We happen to have the route of that army here... Do you have any ideas?"
No... Gasen, I know you are a despicable villain who usurped the throne. You plotted against me, you stabbed your own brother and sister-in-law in the back, and you cut off your own niece's tongue, all just to make yourself the first person in terms of political power in the Roman Empire - I can understand that.
I can understand why you would ask the army of the Kingdom of Arese to help suppress the rebellion. After all, even if the Roman Empire’s army is newly established, even if it is led by Robert the Bird Knight, it is impossible to train enough strength to deal with the current rebels...
So you let the Alessians quell the rebellion, and even though I hate you and am unhappy with your idea, it is understandable: after all, you have no choice but to do so.
But you fucking let the elite of the Kingdom of Aresae move into your palace, and let the people of Aresae protect your lair instead of the Imperial Knights
What's going on? What's going on
This is like a bank that doesn't have security guards to watch over its vault, but instead hires a few bank robbers who come from nowhere to help watch over the vault - how could you do such a thing
Although comparing Alesse to a bank robber might be a bit too much, to be frank, Garson, what do you think is the difference between the Roman Empire and a young girl running around naked at night
Big brother Ishugard is already drooling over you, but in order to avoid dying from insecurity, you simply hired a black man who seems a little weaker but can still beat you like a grandson as your bodyguard
On Earth, Yang Hao had only seen similar plots in some strange minotaur books... And Jason, you actually made it
Because it was so unexpected, Yang Hao almost lost the ability to think.
In short, he just stared at the envelope on the table in a daze, and it was only after a long time that he realized something.
It doesn't matter what Gasson did that caused him to go crazy and let the Alesse people protect the royal capital.
The important thing is, once the Alesians move into the capital...
"Uh..." Yang Hao's plan to save the little queen will suffer unexpected pressure!
After all, according to the intelligence provided by the Isgardians earlier, these elite Alesse soldiers are equipped with steam rifles that fire steel balls!
Although these steam rifles are certainly not as powerful as the Gappa 1404 type at long distances, at extremely close range, these steel balls still have the power to directly penetrate the elf's skull and kill people!
The elves cannot afford such a loss. Not only because every elf is precious, but also because every elf selected to participate in the operation is a top-notch master...
Yang Hao would never allow any casualties in this operation, so he had to admit that once Alesse's elite troops moved into the Roman Palace, it would definitely have a terrible impact on his plan.
Not to mention, after absorbing the technology of steam factories and steam rifles, the Alesi people will definitely make some improvements...
If they are lucky, they can at most mass-produce steam rifles. If they are unlucky, the steam rifles they have may have improved in range, rate of fire, power, and accuracy...
On a wide plain it makes little difference, but in a narrow palace interior it can be a big problem...
Yang Hao slid across the envelope on the table with an unpleasant expression. After opening it with Miss Nia's approval, he saw that inside the letter was a black-and-white photo that the Isgardians had obtained using some unknown technology.
In the photo, the steam rifle in the hands of the Alesse people confirmed Yang Hao's ominous look: that was indeed a new type of steam rifle, which would definitely bring terrible casualties to the elves.
"How many days will it take for them to arrive at the Roman capital?"
He asked. Facing the Regent's rare serious question, Nia just glanced at Fen's face, and after confirming once again that Yang Hao was always the leader of the two countries of Gabai, she smiled and said:
"Your Majesty Yang Hao - that information is a secret of Ishugard. Isn't the best way to obtain this information for our three countries to establish an intelligence-sharing alliance and take our friendship a step further?"
"Let me discuss this."
The meeting once again entered a break, and now it was time for lunch.
Nia turned the tables and chose to go back for dinner - she was more accustomed to the exquisite food in Ishugard. Although it was not to say that the elves' food was not delicious, the taste of her hometown always made people happy.
As for Yang Hao, he could only let Finn's maid Qinna sort out the recent intelligence about the Roman Empire first, and then ask Finn with a sad face to ask Theresa to come over.
It’s not that Theresa can help, but at a time like this, he hopes Theresa can be by his side to guide him and give him some advice.
Not long after, Theresa came over. Although she was very busy after becoming the new Basilisa, it didn't mean that she didn't have time to rest during meals.
She came over immediately after confirming the lunch schedule with the maids and elders. Finn also brought Naluga with her, because Naluga might be able to give some unexpectedly good suggestions with her Listening tribe thinking.
The four of them sat around the dining table doing this. After a while, after taking the first bite of the delicious food, Yang Hao sighed:
“Isgard’s intelligence sharing, if it is just a transaction of intelligence sharing, I think it is acceptable.
But the problem is that Ishugard wants more than just intelligence sharing. From the fact that they generously accepted my technology promotion that was obviously detrimental to them, I'm afraid they have other intentions...
I'm not worried about whether they have any ideas about our country. If I have to say that they have, I don't think it will have any impact on me, Finn, Theresa, and Naruga. I am also confident that I can avoid possible influence... But the problem is, they behave too weirdly..."
"I understand, I understand. Just like if that fucking pig-like "Light" suddenly came to chat with me one day, or if you, a little dog, suddenly took the initiative to lie on me and suckle. If that really happened, I would also find it very strange."
"Theresa? Can you tell me more about this? I'm suddenly very interested in this..."
"Woo..."
The three girls gave different responses. Teresa subconsciously made dirty talk and jokes in this relaxed environment, Finn was very interested in the second half of her story and ignored Yang Hao's embarrassment, while Nalujia was as confused as ever about these political matters.
But no matter what, Yang Hao felt very relaxed after expressing his worries in front of them.
Just feeling relaxed does not solve the problem. So after eating a few more bites of the delicious food, Yang Hao tentatively proposed his own ideas on "how to solve the problem".
First, the information sharing with Isgard must continue, because without the information from Isgard, Yang Hao's plan would be frustrated or even fail directly.
Second, once the information sharing with Isgard begins, we must pay close attention to the Isgard's further thoughts.
If they have other purposes, Yang Hao must discuss with others and make a judgment before making a decision to avoid being cheated.
Third, Yang Hao must not be alone with the Isgardians during this period of time. Because Fen felt strongly unhappy, just like the black dragon wanted to force himself on Yang Hao in public - she always felt that the Isgardians seemed to want to make a big news.
Everyone had no objection to the first two points, but Yang Hao seemed embarrassed about the third point.
After all, as the regent, it is normal for him to accompany the envoys from other countries for meals and talk about national affairs.
If even such an operation cannot be carried out, we may have to prepare for the friendship between our two countries to fall into a cold period.
"After all, the Isgardians wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything big in that situation, right? They're not Romans..."
"That's true..."
Finn finally took back her opinion, but she seemed to recall something and still looked thoughtful after finishing her meal...
In the afternoon, negotiations began again.
In the third negotiation today, Nia took the initiative, and Yang Hao was the frustrated party.
He agreed to share intelligence as originally planned, but Nia's side said that they would not give out important intelligence before the two countries of Gabai gave out intelligence.
"After all, we in Isgard have been ahead of others for a long time. It is reasonable for the two countries of Gabai to take their turn now, right?"
"That makes sense. Then, will Ishgard provide us with information in real time after confirmation?"
"If Japaria and Bayerzas can do the same, Ishugard will definitely hand over the intelligence we have at the same time as the intelligence exchange."
Black Dragonia shrugged, rested her right elbow on the conference table, then placed her left forearm under her chest and gently grasped her right upper arm.
She looked at Yang Hao with interest. She felt like she had discovered a weakness of Yang Hao, and in fact, she had.
She should have realized long ago that how could the Regent, a man who values friendship, not value the little empress who has been taken care of by him for so long
However, Isgard had no intention of kidnapping the queen for threat.
First of all, it is not necessary;
Secondly, Isgard is not those barbarians - they are civilized people. Although despicable means will definitely be used, at least they are not despicable means to attack a child.
So, Your Majesty, what is your reply
Nia just watched like that, and Yang Hao just watched like that.
After a moment, he nodded: "In this case, the issue of intelligence sharing ends here. We will hand over the intelligence to Isurgard soon. I hope Isurgard will also keep its promise."
