Isn't it presumptuous to come forward with the idea of a "great trade route" when you don't know enough about the respective political tendencies of Stark and Moses?
Isn't it a bit narrow to consider the issue of money just from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce?
He began to ponder.
The route of the great trade route through the country of Doro and the country of Monro was selected by Mudahan and Ronald at the intersection of the two countries and the Doomsday Mountains, and many of the passing points are still in the state of disputed territories, although the risk of passing through has increased, but the cost and time are relatively saved, on the other hand, it can also better solve the danger of forcible intervention between the Doro and Munro countries proposed by Princess Sarah, after all, they also have to consider the double risk of forcibly interfering in the trade route to offend the three countries and the confrontation with the Doomsday Mountain Range, and the decision to forcibly intervene is not easy to make under the weighing of gains and lossesγ
But in this way, the kingdom of Moses will be the biggest beneficiary.
From a political point of view, the country of Moses has an extra good card in its hand to bind the other three countries of the Western Four-nation Alliance, and naturally has a lot more confidence, and from an economic point of view, the "Great Trade Route" ends at the other end of the country of Moses, and the biggest benefit can also be obtained by the other three countries?
The harvest of Stark Nation is also great.
The caravan of the Moses Kingdom will bring them wealth from the west of the continent, and the formation of the "Great Trade Route" will definitely attract more merchants from the God of War Empire for them, and the wealth is rolling, and while their own national strength is steadily increasing, the Dora Kingdom will not only not get benefits but also continue to stand at the forefront of the battle against the Orc Empire in the name of the first power, and in the long run, the strength and weakness of the alliance of the four northern countries will change.
And what the God of War Empire gets is only a larger market, in other words, money.
Lin Ke frowned, no, he should get more.
The God of War Empire is bordered by the sea to the north and east, the Orc Empire and the Stark Kingdom to the northwest as a transitional border, the Stark Kingdom and the Doomsday Mountains to the west, and a large area of the Empire of Light to the south.
For a long time, the foreign trade objects of the God of War Empire have been dominated by the Bright Empire, the Stark Empire has a relatively narrow market of small forces, the Orc Empire and the Doomsday Mountains have burned high incense without making trouble, and the north faces the sea because of the relationship between the Orc Empire and the Arctic Ocean, which is a dead end, while the east is the famous Storm Ocean and the dragon clan that is hostile to the God of War Empire all year round.
In other words, the trade of the God of War Empire almost depends on the mercy of the Bright Empire, the first power in the continent, if, Lin Ke thought to himself, if the Bright Empire is dissatisfied with the God of War Empire one day, as long as the "rope" in his hand is tightened slightly, just by using economic sanctions, he can make the God of War Empire feel bad.
If the Pope who sits on the Holy Mountain is more ruthless, the long-term sanctions against the God of War Empire will only be a small loss for the Empire of Light at most, and it will be an unbearable pain for the God of War Empire.
But if the "Great Trade Route" is opened, it will be very different, while the market of the Northern Four Nations Alliance is nominally open to the God of War Empire, the merchants of the God of War Empire can also spend some time enjoying the market and wealth at the western end of the continent, and the situation of the God of War Empire being clamped down on in terms of economy and trade will be greatly alleviated, and the degree of freedom will be increased by more than one step while the national strength is enhanced.
On the other hand, no matter how strong the Stark country is, it can only nest in the nest of the alliance of the four northern countries, and it is no different for the God of War Empire to be strong and the Stark country is weak or the Doro country is weak.
And whether the Moses Kingdom can become the old Great War God Empire of the Western Four-Nation Alliance does not care, but the overall development and growth of the Western Four-Nation Alliance can form a more powerful containment effect on the western side of the Bright Empire, so wouldn't the God of War Empire become a potential beneficiary?
Lin Ke smiled and looked up at Princess Sarah.
"Figured it out?" Princess Sarah asked in a flat voice.
"I figured it out," Lin Ke nodded, "In the end, it's still a win-win situation, as long as the 'Great Trade Route' is opened, the benefits will still outweigh the disadvantages for my God of War Empire." β
Princess Sarah got up and walked out of the shadows to Lin Ke, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing to like to do big things, but since you are doing big things, you have to think about the problem from the big picture, Brother Cohen, now you have a powerful chamber of commerce force in your hands that is about to open the direction of the empire's economy, and you can no longer call yourself a small person with your words and deeds, at least in the economic field, your words are already very heavy." β
Lin Ke smiled bitterly, "Sister Princess, don't say that, the Customs Chamber of Commerce is Uncle Lance's Customs Chamber of Commerce, I just take some advantage in it, and I am a natural out-of-the-box character, leading the economy to something is really not something I am willing to do, now that the style is rich, I can also earn a little money enough to spend it is very satisfied, and I will go to Dragon Slayer Castle in half a year, where is the reason for me to talk casually in that place, let alone whether it is heavy or not." β
Princess Sarah smiled brightly and said, "It's good that you can understand this truth, at least I don't have to worry too much about you when I stay in the imperial capital, military politics is different from business, the battlefield is different from the shopping mall, you guy is very proud in the shopping mall, but it may not be smooth sailing on the battlefield, this world is spoken by the strong after all, and the battlefield is the only criterion to test whether a person is strong, I am looking forward to it." β
"Don't look forward to it," Lin Ke couldn't be more bitter, "I have a very bad premonition, with so many wanted and unwanted auras entering the Dragon Slayer Castle, my brother I will really die a miserable death......"
Princess Sarah giggled and nodded Lin Ke's forehead, "If you can rise to the top in the army, I think your third-year credits will not be low, I look forward to you getting the evaluation above the top of the merit, if you can get the merit, I will reward you with a big benefit." β
Lin Ke's eyes instantly lit up, "What's the benefit?!"
Princess Sarah gave him a blank look and said, "Wait until you get Youshang and then ask me, you must know that such an evaluation has not appeared in the third-year evaluation of the God of War Academy for many years, of course, I mean the two ways of joining the army or politics." β
Lin Ke suddenly nodded with some interest.
"Back to the point, did you come to me just to let me take the lead in the 'Great Trade Route'?" Princess Sarah looked at Lin Ke with a smirk.
Lin Ke had a feeling that he had been seen through his thoughts, although he didn't intend to hide it, he was still a little embarrassed, "Well, it's not that there are other things, it's about the 'Great Trade Route'," he paused for a moment and looked into Princess Sarah's eyes, "The Customs Chamber of Commerce wants the monopoly rights for the first three years of the Great Trade Road. β
Princess Sarah frowned, "Three years?"
