Chapter 6: The Elven Mission (2)
Naturally, cooperation between the two great powers will not be a trivial matter related to the import and export of wheat. This kind of small-scale trade will naturally be done by profit-seeking businessmen.
What can be cared for by the big names in the Crystal Palace are all matters that are important to the Empire, and even if they are transactions, they are all things that can be called strategic resources in this world.
For example, such as the rare earth resources of the Celestial Empire, which are extremely precious war resources, are sensitive materials, and they must not be allowed to be done by businessmen themselves, and must be endorsed by the government.
The level of civilization development in this world is still roughly in the Middle Ages. The so-called Middle Ages, in fact, is that the current countries and nations are still relatively barbaric, and even the Jade Empire, which prides itself on civilization, pursues a policy of classical militarism, which will be criticized in the 21st century.
However, in the Middle Ages, only this kind of policy could ensure that the country's combat power was strong, just like the Qin and Han dynasties, just like ancient Rome.
After all, there is no real international community right now. In later generations, although national strength is certainly the most important, there are still various international rules and restrictions.
Even the world's police need to find several reasons to blatantly disobey the orders of the United Nations.
But in this era, it is really the naked law of the jungle, and strength is king between countries, and there is no cover at all.
Countries with weak military strength are really miserable in this era.
Zachar had a great say in this, and his father led the imperial army to war with another empire on more than one occasion, in the lands of several small kingdoms between the two countries.
The crossing of the army was, as we all know, like locusts, but the king could only tremble and send the armies of the two empires away as if walking on thin ice, and did not dare to say a word.
Therefore, for every country on the mainland, improving its own military strength is the most important task.
Even a peace-loving race like the elves was not stupid enough to waste their military strength, do the stupid thing of putting swords and guns in storage, and put their own safety in the hands of others.
The Elven Royal Academy of Magic, the Elven Royal Seminary, and the Elven Royal Military Academy are sending a lot of fresh blood to the Elven Kingdom every year.
The Northland has sung a song for countless years: "When a friend comes, there is wine, and when an enemy comes, there is a shotgun." ”
There is no problem with putting it in the elves.
The agreement between the Elven Kingdom and the Emerald Empire naturally encompasses all sides.
As relations have progressed, exchanges between the two sides have not been short and deep, and an unbreakable alliance has been formed in all aspects of military, cultural and economic aspects.
If peace was maintained in the past because of the bogeyman, the two sides now have a truly deep friendship.
For the Emerald Empire, although the elves are strong, their culture is not aggressive, and their population is also a big problem.
The low fertility rate and low population make the elves have a strong combat power, but in fact, the war potential is actually very problematic.
One of the many collaborations is the clause on student study abroad.
The Elven Kingdom far surpassed the level of the Empire in the study of magic and clericity.
The rise of the empire is too short, in just two thousand years, it has almost reached the top of this world.
The powerful empires of the first order are absolutely well-deserved, and there are no more than five great empires in the entire world that can compete with the Jade Empire.
This kind of strength is completely dependent on the powerful force of the imperial soldiers, and in terms of cultural heritage alone, it is really incomparable with the ancient kingdom of the Elven Kingdom that has existed for thousands of years.
And the establishment of the magic and priesthood system requires a large number of professional scholars to be exhausted, which is not something that the Jade Empire can do.
In terms of the army, the Emerald Empire has almost reached its peak, all the roads have been traveled, and it is too difficult to make a breakthrough.
But once the magic and priesthood system is raised, it is a real increase in strength.
A thousand years ago, when the empire was just being established, no mage in the entire empire was able to break through to the Sanctuary.
At that time, although the status of magicians in the army was not high, because they could not do much.
Since the Emerald Empire and the Elven Kingdom began to exchange talents, the situation has changed, and the empire has finally appeared its first sanctuary-level magician.
Saint-level magicians, regardless of their ability to fight alone, I have to say that their help to the empire in all directions is really extremely great.
For those backward tribes who were still in the Stone Age, a sanctuary-level mage could cause more damage than a legion.
In the history books that Saga has read, it has been recorded more than once that a forbidden spell by a magician in the Sanctuary directly destroyed a tribe, which is simply a nuclear bomb-like existence.
After all, for those ordinary legions who do not have special means, a meteor shower with a positive coverage is really like the wrath of the gods.
As Zachar recalled, the things about this mission became clearer and clearer, and more details about this mission were recalled.
Sachar finally remembered how different the Elven Mission was from previous years.
After thousands of years of communication, the Spirit Kingdom can roughly determine what the situation of the empire is.
In short, it is full of aggression, advocating great revanchism, repaying virtue with virtue, repaying grievances with straightforwardness, you are good to me, give me face, we are good brothers, if you dare to throw my face, I will beat you until I beat you to death.
Well, the elves are quite satisfied, although they love peace, but they are not a virgin, I feel that the three views of the people of the Jade Empire are quite consistent with themselves.
With this judgment, the high-level of the elven kingdom decided to raise the level of communication with the empire by another level, to help the empire become stronger again, and to fight those barbarians in the west and north, the elves felt that those barbarians were really annoying.
Don't want you to be culturally prosperous, at least you have to study hard, just like the Jade Empire, at least have a motivated heart!
I think about fighting and killing every day, what is the difference between this race and those demons who want to destroy the world, it must be suppressed, the world of the Father God should be beautiful and prosperous, and this black sheep should be killed quickly.
Cooperation in all aspects should be deepened, which is reflected in the exchange of talents, that is, the Elven Kingdom has opened a very important subject to the Emerald Empire - theology!
In Zachar's memory, the elven mission visited the Crystal Palace this time, and the revised talent exchange agreement signed stipulated that the elven kingdom allowed the empire to send ten women to the elven royal seminary for further study.
