I wonder if Mr. Alfie will accept barter?" "Thinking about the order given to him by his father, Norton decided not to make any extraneous problems, and the most important thing was to quickly trade the chilblain potion from Alfie.

After all, during the expedition to Calus, many Imperial soldiers could not stand the cold of Greenland County and suffered from frostbite. Without the frostbite medicine, these soldiers were at risk of amputation, a huge loss for the Imperial Army, which pursued a lean policy, and the price that the War Department was prepared to pay was less important than that. Marshal Sebastian's philosophy of governing the army has always been: people are the most important!

"Accept, why not, but what you bring out must satisfy me!" replied Alfie without hesitation, lamenting in his heart that he might not have anything to do with gold coins in his life, and finally had to go down the old road of bartering for such a good deal as the military department.

In fact, Alfie already knew in his heart that it was impossible for the military department to trade with him with real money, after all, military spending was not so easy to earn. If the military department really planned to trade gold coins with him, I'm afraid that Alfie would have fled in the wilderness, which means that the military department has already killed him.

"I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with the chips paid by the military department. Norton leaned into Alfie's ear and whispered a few words to him.

"What you said is true?" Alfie really showed a surprised expression when he heard this, he never expected the military department to be so generous.

"Of course it's true, it's the command of the Chief of the General Staff, Marquis Douglas. Norton gave Alfie a reassuring look.

"The latest one, the one you just used?" Alfie confirmed uneasily.

"That's it. However, be aware that you won't be able to take it until the canal and Port Royal are opened, and all weapons will be dismantled, and you'll have to figure out how to do it. Norton said the ugly words in front of him, but he actually wanted to add some trouble to Alfie.

"Hehe, you're underestimating me too much!" Alfie didn't care about Norton's troubles, if Norton used everything that came with that stuff as a bargaining chip, I'm afraid Marquis Douglas would have to cut himself to thank the world.

Alfie greeted Killian and the others, signaling for everyone to leave together.

"Wait, you know how much that stuff is worth, and 10,000 bottles of chilblain potion aren't enough. Norton saw that Alfie, who was getting carried away, was about to leave, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I'll pay you another 10,000 bottles of stamina potions and 10,000 bottles of mana recovery potions, that's enough, right?" Alfie waved his hand with a big grin, and his heart was almost happy, "We'll make an appointment after the celebration and complete this deal in person." ”

These potions are of course very important to the military department, but they are out-and-out chicken ribs for Alfie, if they can really be exchanged for such things, Alfi is even considering whether to exchange them for a few more potions.

"It's not enough!" Norton stopped Alfie again as he was leaving, "I'll take those chilblain potions now!"

After listening to Norton's words, Alfie stopped, looked Norton up and down seriously, and couldn't help chuckling: "I didn't expect General Norton to be a business 'wizard', and he even knew to pay a deposit first." I wonder how the military department's deposit is going to be paid?"

"The credibility of the military department is the best guarantee!" Norton sternly assured. It is impossible to open the chips paid by the military department, and naturally it is impossible to pay a part of the deposit in advance like Alfie, and it is impossible to take out the equivalent gold coins at once, so I have to be cheeky and use the reputation of the military department as a guarantee.

"Hehe, the credibility of the military department!" Alfie nodded at Norton with a smirk, "Of course, the reputation of the Imperial Military Department for thousands of years is reliable, and the value is definitely above ten thousand bottles of chilblain potion. ”

With that, he tossed Norton a storage bag. Norton couldn't help but feel his face heat when he saw Alfie so generous, if it weren't for the fact that those frostbitten soldiers couldn't hold out after the celebration, he wouldn't have ignored the difficulties of the strongmen in his face.

"General Norton, can we leave now?" Alfie asked.

Norton checked the storage bag and made sure it was correct, then smiled at Alfie, "Mr. Alfie's performance today was much more than I expected, and it seems that sometimes I can't fully trust the information. I hope that through this transaction, we can establish a good cooperative relationship, and I believe that there are many opportunities for us to trade in the future. ”

"I hope so. I'm also very satisfied with the chips that the military department has taken out this time, and I hope that the more such deals, the better!" Alfie greeted after speaking, and swaggered out of the military department with everyone.

......

In the potions lab, Master Madison took in everything that was happening outside the door, and he stared into a dark corner behind him and asked, "What do you think?"

"Alfie is as cunning as ever. Norton disappointed me a little, it seems that he hasn't grown enough over the years, and he should have been transferred out of the imperial capital sooner rather than later. Out of the shadows in the corner came a tall figure, as if it had been lurking there for a long time.

"Yes, Alfie was able to deduce from the fact that the Imperial Army had gone on an expedition to Camp Calus from me telling him that the elixir that the military department urgently needed now was the frostbite potion, which is indeed remarkable. Master Madison exclaimed.

"I know you think highly of Alfie, but you don't need to praise him like that. The man couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't talk about me, Alfie wasn't your handpick?" Master Madison couldn't help but sneer, and when he heard it, he knew that the two had a great relationship.

"I just thought Alfie was the closest person to that guy in my builders, so I wanted to give it a try. The man did not deny his bullishness for Alfie.

"But is it really good for you to make a claim and use mech warships as bargaining chips? Rey III was going to have a hundred mech warships cruise the canals at the opening ceremony of Port Royal!" asked Master Madison, a little worried.

"So I set the delivery time after the celebration, how can Your Majesty find out that there is one less warship at that time?" said the man unconcernedly, "Besides, the waters of the Empire are not inferior to that warship." ”

"Isn't this a bit too child's play?" Master Madison felt a little bitter in his mouth, although the person in front of him had never taken His Majesty the Emperor seriously, but it was still a bit incomprehensible to be so blatantly contradictory to His Majesty the Emperor.

"If you can use a mech warship to lure Alfie into doing what we need him to do, it's definitely worth it. His Majesty will never blame me if he knows about it, and with what I know about His Majesty, he will praise me a lot. The man said confidently.
