Chapter 90
"It's just that ten runic trains are far from enough to solve the fundamental problems of the empire." Solomon smiled and said, "You should know our sincerity, if the Stuart family can make some changes in the amount of this order, it will not only win Solomon's respect, I believe that the entire empire will also appreciate the Stuart family's generosity and enthusiasm." ”
Solomon focused on strengthening the tone of the Stuart family, the Federation is in the balance of the big family, if it can get strong foreign aid, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Stuart family.
Caroline smiled, this kind of skill was not enough to confuse her, "The family attaches great importance to the friendship between the Caesar Empire and His Highness Solomon, but you should also know that the Federation is very strict in this regard, in fact, this is only the first step, if everything goes well, I believe that with the delivery of this rune train, it will definitely be able to dispel this barrier in the hearts of many people, a good start is half the success, with the continuous in-depth cooperation, I believe that the track of the rune train will soon be paved throughout the empire." ”
Solomon talked about feelings, and Caroline painted him a big pie.
Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, they seemed to be very satisfied, but they didn't seem to get the purpose, the Stuart family actually had a demand, although the whole project was taken over by the family, but there was federal supervision, and the high taxes made the family's profits not as high as imagined, more about the control of resources, private transactions must be wanted, but both sides had to test each other's level first.
"Actually, personally, I'm more interested in the rune cannon, and today I saw the rune cannon arranged by Miss Caroline in the square, which was really spectacular, and I thought to myself that if the next time Miss Caroline visits the Empire, I will regret that this shocking cannon is missing from my reception." Solomon looked at Caroline with a smile: "I wonder if Miss Caroline can cut her love and pass on those dozens of rune cannons to me?" Of course, the price will not disappoint Miss Caroline. ”
"Your Highness Solomon," Caroline knew that he was not a drunkard, but she didn't expect to be playing the idea of the rune cannon, "the rune cannon is a military weapon strictly controlled by the Federation, and the Stuart family has no right to buy and sell it privately. ”
Solomon smiled, smiled brightly, his handsome face showed enough sincerity, and looked at Caroline intently, "Of course I understand, but you are a smart person, so I got straight to the point, the Stuart family and my family were friends in the old days, so in this negotiation, the empire strongly promoted the selection of the Stuart family as a partner, and our Rothschild family has always been grateful for the favor, you should not doubt this." ”
From the old era to the new era, no matter the rise or fall, the reputation of the Rothschild family has never changed, and this integrity is very valuable.
Obviously, at this point, Caroline is making excuses, and the other party will not continue to entangle, but the friendship will be greatly reduced, the mountains will not turn around, there will always be a time when they will be used by each other, but the rune cannon is strictly controlled, although it has not reached the level of nuclear weapons in the old era, it cannot be exported.
Of course, if the Stuart family does it, not to mention how much benefit they can reap, it will definitely make the Rothschilds owe a great favor.
As for the salute, of course, it is foolish, everyone knows it in their hearts, and there is no need to explain it.
Caroline was silent, Solomon waited very patiently, always with a smile on his face, and finally Caroline showed a smile, "Your Highness Solomon, the Stuart family feels your sincerity, we attach great importance to your friendship with the Rothschilds, this matter will be mentioned to the Presbyterian Meeting, I think there will be a solution to anything, as long as the sincerity is enough, you may have to stay for a few more days." ”
This cooperation with Caesar, the Stuart family also attaches great importance to it, and the five major families of the Federation also have great competition with each other, such as the opportunity to sell the runic train to Caesar, the five major families have the strength to cooperate with it, but the Stuart family can still win from it, and it is not accidental to win the right to cooperate.
With the movement of the big 6 plates, frequent communication, cooperation and competition are inevitable, and the Stuart family must take the lead.
A good statesman can never be 100% sure of anything with you, and when it comes to this, Solomon knows that it has already been done: "Whether successful or not, I am grateful for Miss Caroline's enthusiasm and friendship, and to tell the truth, when we first met, I was only amazed by your beauty, but now I know that I am more shocked by your beauty." ”
Caroline smiled, beauties actually don't like others to praise her beauty, and in other aspects, especially girls like Caroline.
It has to be said that Solomon is an old driver, and the purpose of the first round of negotiations between the two sides has been preliminarily achieved.
Suddenly, Caroline bypassed the topic, "The Caesar Empire is built on bravery, presumably His Royal Highness Solomon is a master among the masters, Caroline has learned a few new swordsmanship, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince is interested in learning about it?" ”
"Stuart, the name of the first sword of the Federation, even if it is far away, Solomon has often heard of it, but you may be a little misunderstood, I personally don't like force very much." Solomon said with a little embarrassment, beckoning, and a smiling big boy next door walked over.
Solomon smiled and said, "Enoch is the best guard on my side in close combat. If Miss Caroline is interested, how about giving me some pointers? ”
Caroline's identity, personally challenged Solomon, even let an entourage come out to fight, and many people on this side suddenly showed displeasure.
Caroline didn't speak, and among the entourage who followed there, a middle-aged man had already stood up: "Although I am not the strongest under the eldest lady, I have long admired the prestige of the empire, and I want to ask for advice!" ”
Caroline just wanted to test the strength of the empire, and it was a pity that Solomon refused to make a move, but it was a pity to see the ability of his elite guards.
At this point, he nodded.
When the battle was said, the retinues of the two sides quickly dispersed, making a large space for the two men.
Daven Arden, a member of Caroline's guard, a heavy warrior, the heavy metal armor rubbed against each other, and a large heavy sword with a length of one meter six in his hand was flat on his chest with one hand, effortlessly, the front-line elite who had experienced blood and fire, just by standing there, there was quite a momentum as steady as a mountain, like a copper wall, indestructible!
Opposite the silver half-grown child, dressed in very thin civilian clothes, with a thin sword pinned to his waist, like a long thin toothpick, stood there with a thin body as if any gust of wind could blow him down, always with a smile on his face. Arden still didn't dare to be careless, the perennial battlefield battle, let him feel a little bit of an atmosphere that was not quite right, this person had no murderous aura at all, as an imperial man, Solomon's guard, it was too wrong.
This battle is not only a personal honor and disgrace for him, but also a matter of the face of the Stuart family, and he must win!
Caroline observed Solomon, and the big kid who didn't have any mastery posture and murderous aura on his body, looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was stunted, and his short rounded hair looked particularly cute.
No warrior can become a master without experiencing blood and fire, and even more so in the Empire, is this man a relative of Solomon?
There is no nonsense, what is the point to the end and the like, in this era, every guard is handed over his life.
The battle begins!
With a roar, Arden activated instantly, and the soul power of the whole body exploded, like a cannonball directly bombarded the past, the human sword was one, the soul power and the big sword were integrated, directly and roughly, seemingly simple, but it was the most effective killing in close combat!
However, just three steps forward, a blood arrow had already soared high, followed by the arm holding the giant sword flew directly off Arden's shoulder, and threw it with the heavy giant sword, smashing it on the ground not far away!
Potter's momentum came to an abrupt halt.
W-What's going on?!
With the exception of Solomon and his retinue, almost everyone could not believe their eyes.
The silver-haired boy was still standing more than ten meters away, maintaining his posture just now, with the same smile on his face, but the hand holding the sword seemed to be closing.
The guards on Caroline's side changed color, but Caroline smiled slightly and clapped her hands, "A wonderful sword, the master of the empire is really worthy of its name." ”
Enoch was a little embarrassed to return to Solomon's skills, "I'm so embarrassed that I'm used to being barbaric, and I can't pay attention to proportion." ”
"Your Highness is too polite, it is inevitable that you will be injured, and I would like to thank Enoch's men for their mercy, and the flow of the sword is very exquisite."
Solomon was also slightly surprised that Caroline actually broke it, "Miss Caroline is worthy of being a master of swordsmanship. ”
Enoch did not use the ability, but the extreme pace, the assassin's extreme earth shrinking technique, such a sword technique appeared in such a child, it is indeed as incredible as a monster.
Although there was a bit of a hiccup, both sides achieved their goal, and Solomon was also showing strength to the Stuart family, after all, only equal people are qualified to negotiate.
Stuart is beautiful at night, and it is one of the very few cities in the Federation where you can still see the stars occasionally at night.
The night sky is particularly bright tonight, and occasionally a few stars can be seen shyly peeking out in the far starry sky.
With a glass of red wine, Solomon stood in front of the luxurious panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching.
This is the height of the twenty-fifth floor, and from here, you can see almost the whole of Stuart City.
A variety of lights like stars falling make up this night view of the city, which is especially bustling in the dark night.
Negotiation and dialogue, mutual praise is the majority, but Solomon has a true sentence today, the Federation is indeed much more prosperous than the Empire.
And this is just one of the 100 cities of the prosperous Federation.
"Such a prosperous and rich world is ruled by a regime so inefficient and rotten." Solomon laughed softly as he spoke, he rotated the wine glass in his hand, and shook it gently: "There is an old saying in the old days, God does not take it, but suffers from it, Enoch, do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" ”
In the hall behind him, a silver-haired Enoch was frowning and nibbling on something, and looked over a little blankly.
"Hehe, it seems that the wrong person was asked." Solomon smiled slightly, and took his gaze back from the bustling night scene: "How is that opponent of yours now?" ”
Enoch thought about it seriously: "The mark I left on his broken arm felt that the broken arm was taken back, a miraculous means. ”
"The Federation's rune technology is indeed too far ahead of us, not only weapons, transportation, but also medical care, these are the resources of the old era." Solomon said that the resources that were taken away back then were still secondary, the important thing was talent and technology, and this fault line led to the gap between the empire and the federation, "What do you think of your opponents?" ”
"Ah, I don't care." Enoch frowned and looked at the pig's trotters in his hand: "Their dinner is too unpalatable!" ”
Solomon couldn't help but laugh, he liked the character of Enoch, who had only three simple things in life, killing, eating, and being faithful.
Suddenly, Enoch's eyes lit up, and he put away his smile, Solomon waved his hand, and a pure black envelope appeared on Solomon's table at some point, and the cover depicted a dandelion with silver lines, and the silver-white dandelion was depicted as three-dimensional and ripe, as if it only needed a light blow to easily blow the dandelion on the envelope away, and spread its seeds to all parts of the world.
Solomon's face was unusually calm, and even when he talked to Caroline about trains and rune cannons during the day, he had never seen him so serious.
After reading the letter, Solomon's expression did not change much, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and the prince, who had professed not to be good at fighting in front of Caroline, gently brushed his hand over the letter.
Without any fluctuation of soul power, nor any abnormality, the whole letter turned sallow in an instant, as if it had gone through thousands of years, and then quickly weathered, turned into dust, and disappeared without a trace!
In the Stuart family's conference room, after some discussion, the elders agreed with Caroline's idea, and Solomon was indeed in the urn.
The rune cannon was put for Solomon to see, not to pretend to be forced, but to arouse Solomon's interest, no matter how much the armed railroad is repaired, it is also to make money for the Federation, and it does not help much for the interests of the Stuart family, the Caesar Empire has a lot of resources that the Stuart family needs, as long as they provide what Solomon wants, they are quite generous.
Sure enough, when he saw the rune cannon, Solomon couldn't help it, it was all a routine.
Of course, the latest generation of rune cannons is impossible to give to the Caesar Empire, and there are still many that can be eliminated before, and they still occupy an area in the warehouse, and it is a sky-high price to sell them to the Caesar Empire.
Caesar's Empire definitely wants to study it, but the eliminated rune cannon is too far from the technical level and the power level, and this technical difficulty is enough for the empire to drink a pot, and there are key things in it, the core of the rune cannon is not the cannon body but the cannonball, which is also a pit.
