Seeing that Shen Mengting had already sat up, Zhao Yu knew that there was something important to talk about. Sure enough, the reaction of others was exactly that.

"We in the Kingdom of Saran have always been very sensitive to military affairs. Therefore, the trading of weapons is not a fragrant business in Salan!" Shen Mengting almost looked around at everyone at the table, her neck twisting movement was extremely fast, but in the end she returned to the posture of facing ahead, "And about twelve years ago, this sensitivity was copied to the highest point!"

When Shen Mengting's words fell, everyone stopped talking. For a while, there was silence in the box.

"At that time......" Shen Mengting's eyes were a little confused, and her godless gaze was suspended in the air for a long time. It can be seen that she is reminiscing about some bad things, "It is also the most violent moment for the compromisers!"

"That's right, I've heard you say that, too. I know that there is a compromiser in our country!" Shen Jun actually opened his mouth at this moment, and he continued to speak with Shen Mengting's words, "A compromiser is the kind of person who is timid and does not want to drag the country into a war and chooses to compromise with other countries. They are absolutely opposed to war, and even the weapons that are used to tie up with the war are extremely resistant. At that time, I was also a compromiser in Yamanashi Town, and I organized the townspeople to come to my house to make trouble. My parents have suffered a lot for this!"

"Oh! I also remember to say that! At that time, there were many people throwing stones at your house! I was a little worried when I saw it!" Qian Hao interjected, and the movements in his hands were also constantly pointing at Shen Jun.

"Alas, that's all in the past!" Although Shen Jun said so, from his dejected appearance, it could be seen that he was extremely unwilling.

"It's not just yours. At that time, almost every weapon manufacturer in the town was labeled as a 'militant' and thus persecuted. There are also a lot of people who are in the arms business, and they have no choice but to go bankrupt!"

Zhao Yu lowered his head after hearing this, he knew that Shen Jun's family was dragged down by the turmoil twelve years ago.

"So Sister Mengting, what happened twelve years ago, and how many people would boycott the arms dealers?" Jiang Jingwen pressed one hand on the table, and her expression looked extremely anxious.

Shen Mengting didn't answer immediately, but ignored her godless gaze, "Twelve years ago, it was the moment when my father was marginalized, and it was also the time when the Sauron Empire paralyzed us Saran in the name of friendship. At that time, the old king abandoned my father and other hardliners in favor of some representative compromisers. Thus, a nationwide movement of 'against the militants', 'humanity needs friendship among men', began. Presumably, Shen Jun's family was also affected by that movement. ”

"Ahh......h

"You're right!" Shen Jun grinned miserably, "I still remember that sport vividly! However, my parents continued to forge the hilt of the sword for the sake of our family's livelihood. But it didn't last long. Our pick-up merchants are not having a good time, they need less and less supplies, and some of them have even stopped trading weapons!"

As I said earlier, the movement created by the compromisers swept the whole country. The pick-up merchants will definitely be affected, their business has been affected, it is to be expected!" Shen Mengting's pupils were a little cloudy, mixed with a lot of emotions that he didn't know why.

"So they chose to abandon your family when they couldn't protect themselves?" Jiang Jingwen showed a sad look, "Ahhhh

I thought that Shen Jun would nod, but I never thought that he was shaking his head in categorical denial. He also shook his shoulder, consciously or unconsciously, and made a self-deprecating smile, "Actually, I don't hate it much! They are also victims! Besides, they didn't choose to abandon us when our family was in trouble." ”

"Oh, what the hell is going on, how did your family collapse?"

Shen Jun glanced at Jiang Jingwen, who was asking a question, "Didn't I just talk about it! The pick-up merchant was cheated by the goblin clan and went bankrupt." And with the disappearance of this picker, the hilt of our sword will not be sold. Shen Jun said and let out a heavy breath, "That's the case!"

He seemed to be about to reach for the glass in front of him in the next moment, and take a big gulp. But when he saw that no one else had the desire to drink, he immediately decided to give up.

"What was the situation like at that time, and how did the pick-up merchant who had business dealings with your family get cheated by the goblin clan?" Shen Mengting leaned forward, and her ass moved away from half of the chair.

"Well, to be honest, I don't want to remember much! Our family originally opened a sword hilt factory in Yamanashi Town, which was a very small factory. There are no other great connections, and there is no attractive forging technique. Our family has survived to this day thanks to the care of a few pickers. But with what happened to them, so did our family!"

"So what was going on at the time, and what feud did they have with the goblins?"

Shen Jun finally picked up the wine glass in front of him and sucked sharply at the side of the glass. Then, a hearty drink was heard, "They went to do business in a foreign country, and the location is the Holy Karl Empire founded by the goblins. Originally, the pickers thought they were going to a place where there was a lot of business. Who knows, what happened after that was a nightmare!" Putting down the wine glass, Shen Jun subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Qian Hao glanced at Shen Jun beside him, in the past, Shen Jun was always smiling and cheerful, and it was really rare to have a face on the board for several minutes like now.

"The goblins don't follow the rules of trade in their country at all. They are trying their best to grab the grip of our Saran merchants and tear up the trade treaties. Eventually, many of Saran's merchants lost their money. The pickers associated with our family are also one of them. They were cheated in a meeting to trade axes. At that time, the goblin merchant directly used the axe as a prohibited item and chose to directly seal the source. Therefore, pickers who have invested a lot of money will go straight to ...... Just ......"

Shen Jun didn't want to continue the next words, so he helplessly spread his hands.

"I understand what you mean! Roughly speaking, those merchants went to the Goblin Clan's Holy Karl Empire to do business, but because they went to other people's territory, there were many rules that they didn't understand, which directly led to the violation of local regulations! Then the money and goods thrown in were all detained!" Shen Mengting lowered her eyelids.

"Oh!" Shen Jun shook his head, "That's the way it is!"

"So the pick-up dealer related to your business went bankrupt like this?" Jiang Jingwen put a finger to her mouth, "But that's not right!

"It's just going bankrupt!" Shen Jun tilted his head painfully, "I remember that one of the merchants who picked up the goods came back and told me! Who would have thought that as soon as the goods were transported to the St. Carl Empire, they would be directly detained. The merchant on the goblin clan's side, my mother didn't even return a single child to our Salan pick-up merchant. So...... You should understand the final result!" Shen Jun shrugged his shoulders, "Their collapse has directly caused us to lose a long-term picker partner. Alas!alas!" he sighed in succession.

But it soon dawned on him that he had already said some of the above things, "Oh, have I already said what I just said?"

"But...... This...... Isn't this unreasonable? Violating any rules can be said! And then everyone is working through communication to solve it. No matter who suffers in the end, it won't be impossible to get a child. Besides, even if the rules are violated, the goblin clan should return the goods to our Saran Kingdom!"

"Hehe! How could they be so reasonable! The goods have already been delivered to the Holy Karl Empire, but not in our Saran, everything is up to them!"

"But if they're so domineering in business, won't anyone care?" Jiang Jingwen's tone was already a little indignant.

"Who's going to care?" Shen Jun shook his head again helplessly.

"It's true that no one cares! If the business happens in the Holy Karl Empire, then everything is decided by the goblin clan of St. Carl! If those goblin clans are interested in stealing us humans, then they will definitely be able to find any reason to detain the goods!"

"This lady is so right!" Shen Jun's gesture turned into a pistol, "No one cares! Don't say that some merchants, even if they are relatives of some princes and ministers, if they go outside the country of Saran, they are no longer able to call the wind and rain! Everything must be calculated by the country where they set foot!"

"Yes, this may be helpless!" Shen Mengting picked up the wine glass in front of her, but she surprisingly didn't even take a sip. But he only lifted it for a while, and then quickly put it down.

"Alas, sometimes I really want the country to be stronger! If that's the case, maybe many people who are treated unfairly abroad will be reduced a lot!" Shen Jun directly threw himself on the table.

"I think so too!" Shen Mengting nodded in agreement.

But Jiang Jingwen didn't understand the meaning, she blinked dryly, "Hmm, why do you want to talk about it like this? What is the connection?"

"Jingwen, don't you understand?" Shen Mengting smiled toothily at Jiang Jingwen next to her, "The stronger a country is, the less likely the people in it will be bullied outside. In the same way, a weak country is prone to having people who are bullied!"

"Oh?" Jiang Jingwen sucked on the finger she had placed in her mouth.

"If you don't understand, I'll give you more details. It's like the thing he talked about!" Shen Mengting's finger pointed directly at Shen Jun, and Shen Jun also accepted it calmly, "Their family's picker friend has suffered injustice on the territory of the goblin clan, resulting in a loss of business. Their tragedy is that even when they are suppressed, no one reaches out to help. The Saran Kingdom is small and weak, and it is impossible to interfere with the Goblin Clan of the Holy Karl Empire, which is thousands of miles away. But you might as well think about it this way, what if our kingdom of Saran was a great power?"

As soon as Shen Mengting's question was asked, that is, at the moment of pause, Jiang Jingwen's answer blurted out, "If it is a strong country, the goblin clan will not dare to bully us blatantly!"

"Yes! Let's say our kingdom of Saran is a very powerful country in Celos. When we learn that our people are being bullied by other countries, we will choose to put pressure on that country. For example, if the Holy Karl Empire is really afraid of our Saran Kingdom, then it will definitely take care of the human beings in our country, and vice versa. This is the reason why it is difficult for us Sarans to do business in other countries, to put it bluntly, the country that backs them is not strong!"

That's what I'm trying to say! I don't know how many times I've thought about it in the past few years. Things have developed to this point, it is because our country is too weak that those goblin clans dare to bully us unscrupulously!" Shen Jun directly smashed the table with his fist. With a 'ping' sound, several fat men and cups on the table were shaken slightly.

"But what about the strength of the country......" Jiang Jingwen seemed to be thinking about something.

"Jingwen, what are you thinking?"

"Sister Mengting! I'm thinking like this! No matter how powerful a country is, what it says may not be effective! For example, this is the case: if a powerful country threatens the Saint Karl Empire and forces it not to allow it to bully the Saran humans, if the Goblin Clan of Saint Carl does not comply, then it will be useless no matter whether the Saran Kingdom is strong or not!"

"Who said it's useless! In case it reaches the point where it is impossible to negotiate, the powerful country can also choose to use troops!" Shen Mengting tapped her finger forward, "No matter when and where, war is the best way to resolve disputes." Powerful countries can force other countries to adhere to certain treaties through war, while weak countries cannot. That's the reality!"

"That's it!"

"And powerful countries can also use this as an excuse to plunder the resources of other countries. This is a multi-kill thing!" Shen Jun spread out his hands.

"Therefore, the strength of a country is very, very important to the people of its country!" Shen Mengting's tone became a little excited.

"I couldn't agree more with that!" Shen Jun shot at Shen Mengting again.

Seeing the two swordsmen in front of him interacting so frequently, Qian Hao was a little dumbfounded. For a moment, he thought that Shen Mengting and Shen Jun had known each other for a long time.

At this moment, Qian Hao realized that both of them were also surnamed Shen.

"So, what if you agree?" Shen Mengting smiled pursed, "Don't you have other ideas?"

Faced with Shen Mengting's sudden question, Shen Jun leaned back, "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"I chose to come here to this town to dig up a great swordsman. That person is you! And from the conversation just now, I am even more convinced that you are a strong man who hopes to be able to reimburse the country!"

Shen Jun seemed to be a little embarrassed by the praise, and he scratched the tip of his nose with his hand, "Ahh

"I'm not wrong! I've always had a dream of making our kingdom of Saran a very, very powerful nation. In this way, the humans of Saran will have a shelter. If our Saran had always been a strong country, maybe your family and your picker friends would not have been bullied in other countries!"

Shen Mengting's words brought a silence that was enough to make people think deeply.

But it didn't take too much, and Shen Jun answered, "You're right......!" I've always felt that this dream is very difficult to achieve!"

"It's precisely because it's hard to achieve! So we, as young people, have to fight desperately!" Shen Mengting straightened her upper body completely, which made her look almost as tall as a man.

"Really?" compared to Shen Mengting's straight body, Shen Jun chose to stand up, and his hand seemed to be gesturing on the table.

"Yes, from you and me...... And everyone at this table begins. Let's work together!" Shen Mengting's hands were clenched into fists, and she raised them and stirred forward. Although the response was very small, she did not give up, "First of all, we will start by resisting the Sauron Empire! We will resist this power, and then we will build our Saran Kingdom into one of the best powers in Sauros like Sauron!"

Everyone seemed to be a little stunned, and Shen Mengting said something that surprised many people, especially the word 'Soren', which made the people present feel uneasy.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Shen Mengting seemed to be aware of the current strange atmosphere, and raised her eyebrows and asked.

There was silence again, and in the end, it was Qian Hao who relieved the embarrassment, "Ah! Miss Shen's heart is still very broad!

"There's a lot to comment on this. Shouldn't it be every Saran's dream to be as powerful as the Sauron Empire?I seem to remember that the goblin clan was very polite to the humans of Sauron, but when it came to us Saran, it was extremely cold!"

"Yes, I know what you think! I think you're right!" Qian Hao gave Shen Mengting a thumbs up.

"Qian Hao, don't be so oily! My dream is to want our Saran Kingdom to become a country as powerful as the Sauron Empire. In this way, we Saran humans, no matter where we go to Celos, will not be bullied!" Shen Mengting suddenly stood up as she spoke.

She stood almost looking down at the crowd to finish her words.

However, Shen Jun's words that followed made the atmosphere in the box plummet again.
