Chapter 439 Persuasion
After taking a deep breath, Onoki said to Rope Tree with a trembling voice, "You mean that Konoha can lift the economic blockade and resume trade with the Land Country?"
Hearing Onoki's trembling voice, Rope Tree didn't know if it was because of his agitation or because of the erosion of the Sansho fish toxin, but he nodded slowly and shook his head and said, "Now that Konoha has formed an alliance with Yuyin Village, it is not impossible to restore trade between the three kingdoms. It's just that the country of rain is in the midst of a war, and there is hatred between the three countries, so it is impossible to restore the original neutral and friendly relations for the time being, let alone formally form an alliance, so if you want to fully resume cross-border trade, you may have to wait until after the end of this war. β
In fact, with Konoha now being the employer and creditor of Yuyin Village, it is entirely possible to force the Land of Rain to restore trade relations with the country of Iwano, or even form an alliance with it.
But there is no reliable restraint, Rope Tree doesn't believe much in the so-called alliance, in case the crisis of the land country is resolved, and he stabs Konoha in the back with a different heart, then he can't cry to death?
After hearing Rope Tree's answer, Onoki frowned deeply, and said in an impatient tone, "Since trade relations cannot be restored, how can Konoha help the Land of Earth to tide over the predicament?" Don't tell me that the Fire Nation is willing to give free aid! β
Ohnoki is not a naΓ―ve child, so he naturally doesn't believe that there will be pies in the sky, especially the Skywalker who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and it is impossible for him to do good deeds of sacrificing himself for others.
Rope Tree was not embarrassed at all in the face of Onoki's sarcastic questioning, but said with a natural face: "Although the food of the Fire Country is still sufficient, but food is the most valuable resource in times of war, so it is impossible to provide free assistance to other countries.
However, as the chairman of the Konoha Foundation, I can represent the Foundation in signing a wartime trade treaty with Iwakuin Village! β
"Wartime trade treaties?" Onoki repeated the unfamiliar term with some confusion.
"The so-called wartime trade treaty is a regular and quantitative exchange of resources between the Konoha Foundation and the Land Country.
We can regularly provide valuable resources such as food and ninja equipment to Iwakuin Village, and in addition to using money to buy, Earth no Kuni can also exchange mineral resources for purchases!
The trading place is on the border between Turkey and Yuyu, and the price of the goods is converted according to the current average market price.
However, due to the limited resources of the war, we can only trade multiple times at regular intervals. Rope Tree said naturally about the trade treaty he had already thought of.
As a veteran politician, Onoki keenly heard the key to it, and saw him say with a gloomy face: "According to the market price? Do you want to quantify it regularly?
You want to take advantage of the fire to rob and threaten the entire Yanyin Village with food to die for you! β
"No, no, no!" Rope Tree raised his eyebrows and shook his head again and again in denial, "Tsuchikage-sama's words are too ugly!
I'm making a deal with you with kindness to the land of the earth!
Food and weapons are currently hard currency in the entire ninja world, and even have no price! And the minerals stored in your country still need to be processed many times to produce finished products, which can neither fill the stomach nor kill the enemy on the battlefield, so it is not very popular!
The Konoha Consortium is trading at the average market price at this time, not taking advantage of the fire to rob but sending charcoal in the snow!
If your country feels at a loss, I can find another buyer, and I think both the country of wind and the country of thunder will be happy to do so!
As for timing and quantification, it was also a small means to ensure that Yanyin Village was single-minded in fighting against Yunyin. After all, your village once had a history of betraying allies, and its credibility in the entire ninja world is not very good! β
In fact, the rope tree is the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and now because the ninja war has broken out in full swing, the price of food and weapons has been speculated to be extremely high, and the land country due to the economic crisis of the mineral resources market is low and the price is very low, and now these two resources with a huge price difference are used for trade exchange, and the price of cabbage is no different.
Moreover, the minerals can be stored for a long time, and when the war is over, the price will naturally return to normal, and even now it can be transported to the Konoha Foundation's industrial base on Vortex Island to produce weapons and then sold at a high price, no matter how it is handled, the Konoha Foundation can earn at least a hundred times the profit from it!
As for the deliberate emphasis on regular and quantitative sales, it is mainly to use grain as a condition to limit the land country, forcing them to contain Yunyin's forces with all their might, and at the same time, it can also prevent Iwakuin from sabotaging Konoha's plan at a critical moment.
"Humph!" Onoki heard the threat in Rope Tree's words, and couldn't help but let out a muffled snort in annoyance, but the situation was stronger than people, and for the sake of the interests of Iwakuin and Earth Country, he didn't dare to refuse the other party's conditions.
Although it was very unpleasant to be caught by Konoha in the soft underbelly, it was the duty of Iwain Village to resist Yunyin's attack, and with the materials provided by Konoha and the advantage of having the strength of two major people, it may not be impossible to defeat Yunyin Village or even counterattack the Land of Thunder!
Once Iwakure obtains enough resources from the Land of Thunder, he will naturally be able to get rid of Konoha's control, and it is still unknown who will be the ultimate winner of this war!
After making up his mind in his heart, Onoki finally nodded slowly and agreed to the conditions of the rope tree, "As long as Konoha can provide enough trade resources to ensure the economic stability of the land country, Iwakuin Village can go all out against Yunyin's ninja army in this war!"
But if Konoha doesn't keep his word, even if I'm in Iwakuin Village, I will drag the Fire Country to hell together! β
Sensing that Onoki seemed to have other plans, but he wasn't lying, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart for a while, and he assured with a sincere face: "Don't worry, Lord Tsuchikage, this matter is beneficial to both of us, and Konoha doesn't want Yunyin to occupy the territory of the country.
Otherwise, we can completely leave all the Iwa Shinobi present! β
"Humph! Brag unblushingly! Onoki said disdainfully.
He didn't think that the other party had the ability to leave all the Iwain ninja army behind, if it weren't for the capture of the two major people who were the pillars, and he himself was highly poisonous, he wouldn't have wanted to use self-explosion as a threat just now, and now there are still more than 40,000 Iwa ninjas in the center of the camp to resist, if he can join them, even if he can't turn defeat into victory and retreat with a car, there is no problem at all.
"It seems that Tsuchikage-sama doesn't believe what he says? But I never fight battles that I don't know if I'm not sure! The rope tree said meaningfully: "Calculate the time, they should have arrived!" β
