Lion's visit to the Deep Sea Town Guard only brought his lieutenant Rodney and the three shipwives who were in charge of piloting the Queen Victoria. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There are many ship wives in the lion fleet, in addition to the combat personnel, there are also hundreds of ship wives who are responsible for working on the Queen Victoria, and this trip Lion only brought four of his most trusted ship ladies.
The reason is simple... That is, the lion smuggled out of England.
The Queen Victoria's departure from the port was not even approved by the British Admiralty, and the lion took advantage of the night to sneak aboard the Queen Victoria with Rodney, and then directly cut off the communication with the England side, and disappeared into the deep sea grudge with the sea city.
Therefore, the joke that the Admiral made before has now become a reality, and it is estimated that the entire upper echelons of England are crazy about the loss of the lion!
It may be that during the rebellious period, the lion is tired of being kept as a pet, yes, a pet, a pet raised by the owner called 'Yingguo'.
It's just that the lion is a stubborn feline, and the owner tries his best to please the lion in every way, so the lion gets a high position, everything he needs, but the corresponding thing is that the lion has no real freedom at all.
It's not that the lion hates the life England has arranged for him, nor is he tired of the dazzling halo of being a national icon, but ...... The lion's innate arrogance does not allow her to live as a controlled pet or doll!
Lion... The right is needed, and she needs the right to be able to refuse what Congress demands! Let the British top brass face up to the fact that she is an equal to them, rather than arranging her life in a commanding way every time.
So the lion went to the admiral, and in his personal capacity he found the admiral.
"Can you tell the concubine about the resources that the Deep Sea Town Guard is willing to sell?"
The lion is already sure that the technology level of the Deep Sea Town Guardian is beyond the current level of human beings, and the resources in the seabed must have been mined a lot, and these resources are what the lion needs... Either way.
'I want to think about this, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, I am not very good at chemistry, in short, most of the precious metals are in reserve in the warehouse at this stage, if Miss Lion you are satisfied, you can also send you two sperm whales to take home as pets, to ensure that the tuning and training is more obedient than the husky. β
The most resources that the Deep Sea Town Guardian Mansion can sell at the moment are rare metals, especially the natural radioactive metals, and if it weren't for the Admiral to stop it, maybe Nakasuhime would have tossed hundreds of nuclear weapons long ago.
The second is oil and natural gas, no matter what kind of resources are included in the national strategic level, not to mention the price, it is unlikely that individuals want to have it.
Veneto and Admiral Kaguya are not worried, they both have a background in the underworld, and in short, they are already outside the laws and regulations of the country, and they are in a small society on the dark side.
As far as Veneto's mafia is concerned, although Veneto's family cannot compete with Italy on the surface, Italy has to acquiesce to the existence of the Veneto family, because in Sicily, people in some disputes will choose to turn to the local mafia before calling the police for help.
Veneto's family sold the rare metals they had traded from the Admiralty to Italy at a very high price, and Italy did not even dare to impose the expropriation of all the rare metals of the Veneto family under the pretext that "such a precious thing must be handed over to the state", because this is a thing that will kill the net, and no one who is even smarter will do it.
Lion... It's completely different.
'Miss Lion, as long as you have enough chips, I can give you everything in the Deep Sea Guard, but you can definitely exchange these resources for what you want without exposing the Deep Sea Guard... Something? Or is it like the Queen Victoria, just bought to show off? β
What Troy feared eventually happened, and although the Admiral liked to lie, he did not try to please anyone, except in the life-threatening case of being held at gunpoint to the head.
The Admiral's words to the lion were full of mocking meanings, and anyone with a little heart could hear them.
Of course, the lion can hear it, but the one that touches the lion's nerve the most is the previous sentence, 'Tune and train more obedient than the husky.' β
The lion has always been very obedient, as the queen daughter of the United Kingdom, she has to be obedient, in this constitutional monarchy, the royal family is an ornament, and the lion is just a better looking ornament.
As for considering going to other countries to fight for her rights, the lion can't do this kind of treason, she loves her ancestral country, and just wants to fight for more rights to change it.
"Are you naΓ―ve to be sarcastic about concubines?"
The Admiral guessed what the lion was thinking, a real lion would not succumb to human care, perhaps it was taken for granted by the lion, but in the Admiral's opinion, it was just a girl who had just reached the age of seventeen and was in a period of rebellion.
Well... The lion is indeed exactly seventeen years old this year, and she is the youngest shipwreck in the field, even if Lu Yan's real age is more than fifty years older than the lion.
'No, of course not... So what kind of goods does Miss Lion need? β
The Admiral just wanted to remind the lion in this way, and he didn't mean to stop the lion, and it was the stupidest thing to laugh at other people's dreams.
"Concubine... I don't know, Rodney will talk to you in detail, and all the concubine wants to ask at the moment is the chips you need, what do you mean. β
The lion looked at Lu Yan, the lion had been trained to negotiate with people, and with her natural ability, she could guess what the other party was thinking through her eyes, but this trick didn't work on Lu Yan, not because it was difficult to guess Lu Yan's mind, but because it was too easy to guess!
That cake looks delicious...... That's what Lu Yan was thinking.
Does that mean that the Admiral hasn't focused on talking to her since then? The lion sighed and pushed the cake in front of him to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan wanted to thank the lion in an extremely enthusiastic way, but under the reminder of the Admiral, she still put the sentence on her lips: "Great! He took it back, sat down honestly, picked up his fork without saying a word, and began to eat the cake.
'Uh... I haven't eaten anything in the morning, sorry, gaffe. β
This local girl is really not suitable for any formal occasions, Lu Yan looks like she has cream on the corner of her mouth, and completely destroys the temperament of the big demon king that the admiral has so hard to shape!
"Then let's talk about chips, Luze... I want to know what I can do to get you in my hands. β
Veneto easily pushed her cake to Lu Yan's hand, and the local girl was very happy at this moment, but she still stubbornly covered her bulging cheeks and forcibly concealed her excited smile.
"Quite simply, everything in the universe."
The outlying island sitting next to Lu Yan helped Lu Yan wipe the cream off the corner of her mouth, and at the same time replied to Veneto, this sentence was already equivalent to rejecting Veneto.
"It's a lot of money, but it shouldn't be okay to borrow a few days."
'We'll talk about my price later, but for now I'll get back to what the Deepsea Town Guardian needs, Dr. Troy......
The possessiveness of the outlying islands is very strong, and the possessiveness of the deep sea perch is very strong, not to mention that all the things of the deep sea perch are shared with the ship's mother, so the admiral is very witty to shift the topic to business.
"At present, the power supply of the deep-sea town guard comes from the sea pressure on the seabed, which is equivalent to a kind of tidal energy, as well as the heat energy and natural gas of the submarine magma.
Troy, one of the heads of the logistics department in the Deepsea Guard, crossed her fingers and counted what the Deepsea Guard's Mansion lacked.
"All that's left is the materials needed to build the biosphere, a lot of animal and insect samples, and microorganisms."
Troy offered a condition that the lion didn't expect at all.
"If I could, I would like to take a few days off work to collect from all over the world, from the African savannah to the Amazon rainforest, to several national parks in the United States."
"Poaching is such a thing... There is nothing the concubine can do. β
The Lion's Queen-Victoria can sail all over the world, but the sea city is too conspicuous to be poached.
'Actually... In terms of money, the Deep Sea Town Guardian is also a bit short. β
"Money? Do we have a place where we need to use the money? β
Troy has been living in the Deep Sea Town Mansion for a few months, and he has almost forgotten that there is such a thing as currency, the Deep Sea Town House is completely self-sufficient, and there is no shortage of basic resources, except for where aluminum needs to be purchased from Veneto, there seems to be no lack of other resources at all, right?
'Hmm... In fact, not only did we lack money, but we also owed a large amount of money to the German Commercial Bank. The Admiral said.
"Loans?!"
Although the matter of owing money to others is considered a family scandal, Troy feels that as a commander, there is nothing unusual about owing money.
Anyway, the Admiral owes a lot of things to others, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Mercy are estimated to have not been repaid until now, and after calculating the recent medical expenses, the Mercy will not feel any excess.
What puzzled Troy the most was ...... Why does the Deep Sea Guardian owe a loan to the bank? Isn't this a hostile organization that has transcended humanity?!
"All these arrears come from the accounts of the flying field Ji." As the secretary ship of the Admiral, the outlying island is also responsible for part of the financial management work, and the current capital expenditure of the Deep Sea Town Guard Mansion is also easy to count, because only the Flying Field Ji has been spending money recently!
"It's funny that the deep sea habitat would buy human things." Veneto expressed his thoughts at this time.
It's not just about buying! It's a complete shopaholic, okay? The FedEx packages piled up in Ji's room at the flight field are almost a mountain, okay?
The specific contents of the package are a large number of game CDs, physical novels, magazines, figurines, snacks, vibrators, etc.
In order to maintain the cold image of the deep-sea inhabitant, the outlying islands still don't explain this in detail... And the outlying islands also entrusted the flight field Ji to buy a lot of things.
In short, now we also need a human currency, whether it's the yen or the euro or the pound. β
The Admiral didn't expect that Flying Field Ji had been overdraft shopping all along, and it wasn't until a few days ago that Flying Field Ji's bank card was frozen, and she ran over to ask the Admiral, 'Admiral, why can't I have krypton gold?' Also, I was always called and asked where my home address was. βγ
The Admiral would have liked to see what the bank staff would have if they had known that the person who owed them money was a deep sea perch... There's no way they're going to go to the Deep Sea Town to collect their debts, right?
However, it is undeniable that money is necessary for trading, and the tables and chairs in the Minato Lounge Cafe, as well as the raw materials for coffee and cakes, are all purchased from the human market.
The Deep Sea Habitat Ji also has their own hobbies, and there are also a lot of personal belongings and decorations in their rooms, which are purchased by the Flying Field Ji on their behalf, so after the Flying Field Ji is cut off, the Deep Sea Town Guardian Mansion is in a very strange predicament.
"This may be the only bargaining chip that the concubine can provide......"
The lion took out an empty check and pushed it in front of Lu Yan, with a bank card attached, and the meaning he wanted to express was already obvious.
However, for Veneto and Kaguya, money is the last thing they lack, especially Veneto, who has a lot of money in his hands since he started a private deal with the Deepsea Townkeeper.
"I'd love to see the day when the biosphere is actually built, so Dr. Troy ...... If you don't mind, I think my family can give you the safest poaching, hunting, and smuggling trips. β
Kaguya's family has a background in the dark road, but on the surface, it is still doing some business in flowers and birds, Kaguya came with a playful mentality this time, and establishing a cooperative relationship with the Deep Sea Town Guardian Mansion is secondary, she doesn't have any good feelings for her family, let alone help grow it.
On the other hand, Veneto is different, her admiral is the godfather of the Italian mafia, and as the acting Vinetto, she has always shouldered the responsibility of strengthening the family.
The last time the Admiral negotiated with Veneto, Veneto did get a lot of benefits, and this time she certainly won't let go of more benefits.
"Natural gas, I guess it's not important to the deep sea, right?"
Veneto's fingertips twitched over the rim of his coffee cup, pondering how to strengthen his family's position in Italy, in the simplest terms, monopoly, oil, gas, electricity... No matter what kind of energy is indispensable for a country.
Italy is not a resource-rich country.
"The heat from the deep sea feeds the magma rivers from the seafloor, but if you need to collect natural gas to get it to land, you have to build a long pipeline or, more directly, sell combustible ice." Troy said.
"Of course, I accept both ways, and the chips given will only be more and not less, so as a customer's offer, can you lend me a few days?"
"Sorry, but without this kind of preferential service, the winner of this celebration is possible!"
The outlying islands don't have the concept of treating the ship's mother as a guest.
"Celebration?" Veneto remembered what she had discussed with Lu Ji before coming to the Deep Sea Town to guard the mansion.
"Did the deep sea admit it? Then enjoy the celebration before the trade begins...... The ship's mother will not admit defeat easily. β
Hey, hey, hey! Don't you just ask the person concerned? The Admiral watched the outlying islands and Veneto flirt with each other, but in the end they did not say anything.
After all... The real admiral is still lying in the survival cabin, and the last person to take the pot is Lu Yan.
However, Lu Yan is completely oblivious to her future fate and is trying to stuff the third cream cake into her mouth.
ps:About the problem that there was no update yesterday.,The main thing is that I'm too sleepy to go home.,I'm going to lie on the bed for a while and get up to code words.,As a result, it's dawn when you lie down and close your eyes and open your eyes...... The phone alarm clock didn't ring weirdly for some reason, sad.
