In addition to the above-mentioned gifts, Luo Ming also secretly sent the wreckage of the captured minecar.

It may have been difficult for the Duchy to recover the Minecart from these wreckage, but it was able to deepen the understanding of the Minecar.

To sum up, the gift given by Luo Ming can be said to be quite generous, and the help for this war is almost no less than the reinforcements sent by thousands of people - of course, this is on the premise of excluding artillery, but the princess is not in urgent need of this.

Anyway, Princess Victoria is not Luo Ming, the royal family has a deep accumulation of thousands of years, even if there is no artillery, she has other ways to deal with the thunder car, which is a lot of effort.

But along with this gift, Luo Ming also put forward a lot of conditions.

After weighing it for about ten minutes, she made up her mind, took a piece of paper, and quickly wrote a reply with a spell manipulating the pen.

After receiving the reply, when the messenger left, Ariana directly opened the seal, took out the letter and read it.

Feeling the strange eyes of the person next to her, she directly raised her head and glared back: "What are you looking at? I am now the plenipotentiary envoy of His Excellency the General, what is it to open a letter?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you keep watching. The man smirked and stepped aside.

After reading the letter, Ariana snorted, "It's a tough opponent, but that's enough." ”

Although Luo Ming used a "cordial, sincere, and modest" tone in his letter, praising the princess and scolding the invaders of Belan, while expressing his loyalty, in essence, he still put forward many conditions.

These conditions are generally increased by several percent on the basis of the reserve price proposed by Luo Ming, and several traps are also set.

In the face of this sky-high asking price, the princess repaid the money on the spot, avoided almost all the pitfalls, and lowered many conditions, and even pushed a few to near the low price; in other aspects, she "maintain the status quo for the time being, let me think about it again before making a final decision", that is, she refused to give a direct answer.

The princess is gifted and intelligent, and has been trained for many years under the old fox of the Grand Duke, and now she is half an old fox, and if she simply plays politics within the traditional framework, it will be difficult for Luo Ming and Arianna to take advantage of her together.

Just like a certain country in the history of the earth, how many powerful ministers leaned towards the government and the opposition, but in the end they were overthrown by the emperor with a surprise blow.

In any system of rules, the risk and difficulty of challenging the bookmaker can be surprisingly high, especially in politics.

Luo Ming felt that it was a kind of luck to be chosen by the black sun, but how could Arianna, or her own being, not think so?

Luo Ming's strategy can be summed up as "making proper use of external conditions, taking the road of independence and self-determination, and liberating and developing productive forces."

This is a new path that is completely beyond the traditions of this world. The tradition of this world is to compete with how big the territory is and how many people there are. Less is less, more is more.

However, Luo Ming also focused on how to promote technological progress, so that one piece of land can produce two parts of food, so that one person can exert the combat effectiveness of several people.

No matter what the princess responded, it could only be said that it was "external conditions that could be used".

Even without these external conditions, Luo Ming can continue to develop and progress independently!
