Chapter 77: Alliances
Although in the beginning, Gaius really just went out to help his friends and sold a batch of grain to Kobra at a cheap price.
But how could Dawn give up this opportunity to go out?
Moreover, with such a geographical advantage as a large grain producing country, even a person who didn't read much news in his previous life knew what a rich resource this was.
In the words of the game, this is at least a gold or even diamond-level start, plus the backing of the navy and the way of cultivation, it is simply an explosion of advantages.
As long as you don't die, you can learn how to govern the country from the perspective of your previous life, and you can be a dashing king for a lifetime.
With such a big advantage, Dawn naturally won't let it go.
So Dawn took the initiative to suggest that friendly relations should be established with the Kingdom of Alabastan, and even an alliance should be formed to increase the voice and influence of the World Conference.
In order to convince Gaius, Dawn also elaborated on the various benefits of the establishment of diplomatic relations, and then expressed his willingness to be an envoy in Gaius's relieved expression, which finally gave Dawn the opportunity to go to sea to realize his plan.
Gaius also informed Alabastan that there would be an heir to the trade through the phone, and the subtle meaning of this move was already obvious.
Why did Gaius just treat it as an ordinary transaction, or even a help between friends, until Dawn reminded him to make the change in establishing diplomatic relations?
Is it because Gaius is not a Ming Jun?
No, to be able to govern the country to this level of affluence is already a good monarch.
In fact, it's just a matter of insight, and Dawn can only have such long-term insight because he watched so much news in his previous life and lived in the era of the information explosion.
In the past, because the position of the Ishtar Kingdom in the North Sea was sufficient, although there were still countries around that would provoke wars because of interests, it was undeniable that the Ishtar Kingdom had a lot of influence in the North Sea.
Under the inertial thinking, Gaius did not realize the benefits of establishing diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Alabastan, which was far away on the great voyage.
I sell food or something, I don't value your specialties very much, and selling them to neighboring countries can also increase influence, but Alabastan is too far away, and transportation alone is a big trouble, not to mention the risk of being plundered by pirates.
And part of this is related to the fact that he meets Kobra too few times, after all, they meet once every four years, and everyone's relationship is only because ordinary friends with the same philosophy, and they are not close enough to be allies.
But after Dawn's reminder, Gaius found that it was not without benefits, excluding the economic and trade brought about by the trade between the two countries after the establishment of diplomatic relations, the most obvious thing is that as an alliance, it will increase its voice in the world conference.
Although most of the two were on the same front before, it is clear that after the establishment of diplomatic relations, both the alliance between the two countries and the relationship between the two will be more stable.
Perhaps the depiction of the World Conference is not obvious in the anime, but the influence of the World Conference must not be underestimated.
The World Conference, which is held every four years, causes a worldwide uproar, and both the people and the media are eagerly following the development of this conference.
And they are talking about the major policy pattern of the world, but the slightest carelessness may also lead to wars between countries!
When Vivi was ten years old, she went to the World Conference with her father, Kobra.
However, because of the selfish side of Wapol in the meeting, Kobra was rebuked on the spot, and they got married.
After the meeting, Wapol met little Weiwei and was in a state of revenge, so he slapped Weiwei to the ground.
In this kind of meeting where the dragons are everywhere and there are so many kings like dogs, even the slightest dispute can become the cause of a war in the future.
Young Vivi understood this, and in order not to cause a war between the two countries, she forcibly endured in the face of Wapol's attack, and only cried out in pain after the other party left.
This shows how useful it is for countries to form alliances and have a voice and influence at world conferences.
Not to mention anything else, if Wapol dares to be so arrogant, and the two kings scold him together, it will be Wapol who should panic.
Even if the kingdom of Ishtar is located in the North Sea, after all, these are two countries, and fear is certain.
Therefore, although Dawn is to go out to carry out his plan, he does not just make suggestions for the sake of going out, but pays enough attention to it.
Dawn never ignores the impact of politics, which is a good shelter until he grows up.
If nothing else, the principle of 1+1=2 is always clear.
Not to mention the influence of two countries standing behind them, even if it is just an alliance, it is far more deterrent than one country.
This kind of mutual benefit and reciprocity deserves the attention of both sides.
…….
When Dawn set off on the Great Voyage.
To the south of the kingdom of Ishtar is a country that he is called by the people around him, the mercenary kingdom - Kotar.
It's a paradise of chaos, where fights, brawls, murders, looting, and other shady things can be seen everywhere, and even happen in this country all the time.
The weak people here can only do heavy work with little money to make ends meet, while the strong accept employment to earn money by fighting.
The word peace is the supreme boon for ordinary people.
But in this country, it is not good news for mercenaries who depend on war for their livelihood.
Nowadays, the entire North Sea is in turmoil due to the invasion of pirates, and every country is on the lookout for revolting pirates, and it has been a long time since they have waged war against the surrounding countries.
And the mercenaries, who were originally paid high wages, also lost their jobs.
This is intolerable because they, including the entire country, need war to feed themselves.
From the king to the mercenary.
In their eyes, it would be even better if there was a large-scale war, because their king was the leader of the entire mercenary group.
The king would lead the entire nation into the war, in order to obtain money and supplies to feed the chaotic country of Kotar.
As long as war breaks out, whoever hires the Cortal will accept it, which is very similar to the Vince Mock family.
Although the country is rich in iron resources, they are all used to craft weapons, and the mined iron resources are forged into weapons and sold to the mercenaries below.
The mercenaries below are responsible for accepting hires in order to obtain money and supplies.
It can be said that almost all the people of this country are mercenaries, and it is an extremely deformed country.
