Chapter 781: Lobbying from the Revolutionary Army
"What's wrong with you? After returning from the Floating City, you don't seem to be in a good mood, the little girl said that if the fusion of the ancient gods of the mountains and the heart of the Titans does not have the right process, it will take a long time, and we are still missing a piece now, as long as we find it during this time, we can perfectly restrain the Giant King, a piece of ...... It's not that hard to find, is it?"
On the rooftop of the castle, Kylotte was lying on a bamboo chair basking in the sun, but his brows never let go, and Unitta reached out to smooth it out with some distress beside her, the ancient gods of the mountains and the heart of the Titans, plus a Holy Blood Hermitage who was born with malice towards half-giants, she knew how much pressure it was.
"Well, there's only one piece left, nothing, I'm just getting too many messages at once, thinking about future actions. β
The remaining piece of the Holy Grail fragment was in the hands of the Holy Blood Hermitage This matter was not said by Kailot, it was meaningless, but it would make Unitta and them even more worried, no one wanted to see the giant tide reappear, and it was under the control of humans, with the current state of life and death within the Lorraine Empire, it was difficult to imagine what kind of scene they would be like when they joined forces against the enemy.
Kailott didn't know where the base camp of the Holy Blood Hermit was, even if he wanted to steal the remaining bloodline chalice fragments, he couldn't do it, and now all he could do was to strengthen himself and find a way to make Qingshu strong as soon as possible.
"Chief, Deputy Chief Shari has asked me to inform you that members of the Revolutionary Army have come to the Greening Islands, and I would like you to come and discuss. β
On the stone steps on the side of the rooftop, members of the green tree came up to report.
"Revolutionary Army...... The Principality of RhΓ΄ne has also been fighting recently?"
When it comes to the Revolutionary Army, the first thing that comes to mind is the people in the southern part of the RhΓ΄ne, and the recent expansion of Gonza has dealt more and more with them, and it is inevitable that there will be various affairs to be solved between them.
"It's the revolutionary army on the border of the Lorraine Empire, and this time it's their deputy leader. β
"Oh, I see, it's a coincidence, maybe I'll be leaving in two nights. β
Kailot didn't plan to stay on Dragon's Tooth Island for long, so after disposing of the Holy Grail shards, he prepared to go to the second battlefield, and took Unita to the conference hall below, where the visiting party was waiting.
"They are here to seek cooperation, the recent outbreak of the civil war in the Lorraine Empire, all the major regions are in full swing, the army that surrounded and suppressed them before was all transferred, during this time, relying on the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom of the war and the chaotic situation has developed again, Qingshu has not instructed the black merchants to deal with them before, this time we contacted us along Lisa's line, it is estimated that I want to take advantage of the current situation to do something, now it is different, I am in charge of Lisa to bring them. β
Shari waited for Kailot outside the conference hall, and briefly explained the situation, the revolutionary army of the Lorraine Empire was attacked from all sides earlier, according to Qingshu's intelligence, the empire launched a regular army of nearly 200,000 people to encircle and suppress them, and the intensity was so high that even Qingshu could only cut off contact with them.
Perhaps it was the favor of heaven that when the encirclement and suppression operation was about to succeed, the rainy season before the onset of winter delayed the progress of the encirclement and suppression, and then the bursting of the dam made a large number of people dissatisfied with the government, and the homeless people joined the revolutionary army, adding fuel to the revolutionary flame that could be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind.
In order to ensure the victory of the war, only tens of thousands of regular troops of 200,000 were left to curb the development of the revolutionary army, and the rest of the troops were all transferred back to participate in the civil war of the Lorraine Empire.
Having survived the defeat and knowing that the opportunity was not easy to come by, the revolutionary army seized every opportunity to strengthen itself, and Qingshu was one of the most important goals in their plan.
"Cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit, what can you bring to Qingshu? In addition, don't tell me that you don't know my current identity, I am a high-ranking nobleman in the empire, and if you ask me to talk about cooperation, this doesn't make me betray the country." β
The current revolutionary army, to put it mildly, has long been squeezed by the green tree, and a considerable part of the little family money saved in their hands has been exchanged for various war resources through the green tree, plus the revolutionary army's area of activity is in Damanke, although it borders the Sambia region, but with their current strength, it will not be of any help to the war situation in the Sambia region.
"You're joking, who in the underground world doesn't know that Qingshu's Black Island still has the reputation of the overlord of the Starfall Sea, as well as your black merchant power on the mainland, and now you have to add a city independent of the Lorraine Empire and become an imperial noble, just to legitimize these things, isn't it?"
Since the revolutionary army dared to send a second-in-command like the deputy leader, it must have done its homework in advance, if it was as Kailot said, Qingshu was now loyal to the Lorraine Empire, wouldn't they be jumping into the fire pit by themselves.
"It's kind of interesting, continued. β
glanced at the man with gold-rimmed glasses in the center of the conference hall, the second-in-command of the revolutionary army, he didn't look like a person who had been tempered by war, and he had more of a shrewd temperament.
"We really didn't bring too many things this time, in fact, we don't have enough money to pay for Qingshu's support to us, so this time I came, only two things with me, sincerity and the future!"
"I mean I'm not going to give a penny, go on, I'm going to see what you can say. β
Kairot originally wanted to refuse directly, Qingshu once funded the revolutionary army in the hope that they could contain the government's attention, and now the entire Lorraine Empire is in chaos, and he has also become the person that the imperial government relies on in the Sambia region, whether there is a revolutionary army or not, it doesn't matter so much, but what the second-in-command of the revolutionary army said aroused his interest.
"Today's Damanque region, religious aristocracy and government aristocracy, government and Rimai sect, government and religious aristocracy, government aristocracy and Rimai sect, each other's enemies, wars broke out in various places, there are almost no cities that can be outside the matter, and the results of these wars have a common point, that is, the people's disaster, conscription, grain and grass, taxes, the aristocratic forces in the Damanque region do not treat the people as people, and now it is even worse, the people's grievances have accumulated for a long time, and a large number of people have been displaced because of the war, and there are people who are desperate every day, our revolutionary army was born at this time, and only need to shout slogansWe are doing this with great results, as long as there are enough resources, the forces of the revolutionary army will expand rapidly under the chaos of the Quadripartite Battle, occupy a large area, and it is not impossible to control the entire Damanque region in the future, this is the future of our revolutionary army. β
After a slight pause, he glanced at Kailot's expression, and did not appear bored, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued: "I don't know if you have thought about what the situation will be after the end of this war, the empire has won, and the Qingshu Alliance led by you has definitely made great contributions in the Sambia region, but will the empire allow the next Ottoman noble alliance to appear?" Not to mention that at that time, the Blue Tree Alliance may unite the aristocratic forces of the entire Sambia region and become the real ruler of the Sambia region, and they will definitely not allow it! What if there is an area occupied by the revolutionary army next to the Sambia region at this time? At that time, as long as the empire has a tendency to move on the Qingshu Alliance, you can completely make an alliance with us, the Lorraine Empire has a total of five regions, we occupy one, one to four, the empire forces you to our side, that is, two to three, plus your power in the Principality of Rhone, maybe it will be three to three, when the time comes, the empire that has just experienced the war will definitely not dare to act rashly, if the Rimai Sect wins, it will undoubtedly be worse, but with us as an ally, the safety of Qingshu can also be guaranteed. β
The analysis is very thorough, Kailott has to admit that the second-in-command of this revolutionary army still has a few brushes, and many ideas do coincide with him, the Qingshu Alliance is strong too fast, the empire has suffered a loss of aristocratic rebellion, as long as the IQ is normal, the high-level will not allow it to come again, not to mention the Rimai sect, they themselves are doing the cause of rebellion against powerful nobles and then rebellion.
"So, based on your two words alone, you want to exchange Qingshu's strong support for you? Our money and equipment are not blown by the wind, how can there be any reason to give them away for nothing. β
At this time, Kailot was already a little moved, Qingshu is not short of money now, in the future, after defeating the alliance of the three major families, thirty percent of their treasure troves are Qingshu's, plus the capture during the war, the arsenals of Sergant and several other cities are full of all kinds of equipment, Qingshu wants to take it, just drive to pull it, no one dares to stop it at all.
But that doesn't mean Aoki is Kaizi!
"I understand what you mean, so in addition to the future, I have brought the sincerity of our revolutionary army, as long as Qingshu is willing to help us, one-fifth of the tax revenue of the Damanque region will be handed over to you in the future. β
How much is one-fifth of an entire region's annual tax revenue?
"Empty words...... What about cheating the kids? Pay back one-fifth of the tax, it's unknown whether you can occupy the Damanque area, and if you fail, where will I ask for this money?"
The above is good, but the final price made Kairot really disappointed, and nodded lightly to Shari next to him, ready to send off the guest.
"The right to mine the spar veins in the Damanque area! We learned about the two-day high-reserve spar veins in the Damanque area through special channels, as long as Qingshu is willing to help, we can give you three transactions of the mining volume of the ore veins!"
"Oh, it would have been nice to say that earlier, now...... I want fifty percent!
The spar vein is always one of the best bargaining chips in this era, and now the mining of the spar vein outside Gonza City has brought an unknown amount of profit, and it has also won a loyal wisdom puppet ally, and the two spar veins are fifty percent each, adding up to a complete spar vein mining, and there is no need to work oneself.
"Fifty percent is a lot, isn't it?"
"You can choose not to accept it, I can tell you very clearly, now the only one in the Sambia region who can come up with a large number of arms and strategic materials is our Qingshu, and the other nobles are useless even if you find them, because there are only two kinds of nobles left, one is Qingshu's allies or vassals, and the other is the enemy of the Qingshu Alliance, the former is our Qingshu is the leader, we don't nod, they won't sell you a shot or a bullet, and the latter is useless even if you promise you, because everything they have will soon become the property of the Qingshu AllianceStoano is a royal area, and Taimar is controlled by the Rimai Sect, do you want to go to Lahong and try it?"
"This ...... Five achievements and five percent!"
The situation in the Lahong region belongs to a very special category in the Lorraine Empire, the real big forces in this area are those orc families, vampires and werewolves are also inseparable, and the revolutionary army goes to them to cooperate?
The general direction is negotiated, and the rest of the things are simple, things like signing a contract are generally Shari is in charge, and Kailot is just here to talk about things, and Shari will take people to deal with the rest.
It took a whole afternoon to finally sign the contract, and the people of the revolutionary army were walking fast, and there should be other places to go.
"The right to exploit all of the entire vein and the right of first refusal to purchase the spar of the other vein, the preferential policy of the Aoki Foundation...... Not bad, but looking at it this way, do we have to hope that the revolutionary army will succeed in defeating Damanke?"
At dinner in the evening, Sarie handed the contract to Kellot, and the terms of it were beneficial to Aoki in every way.
"They would actually agree to so many conditions, a whole vein, it's like sending a mountain of gold. β
Unita sat next to Kylot, amazed at what was on the contract.
"You don't think the revolutionary army suffers, do you? haha...... It's normal, but you've been lurking in the Holy City for nearly two years, and some things are not clear, so let me tell you, I'm willing to sign this contract with them today, do you believe that those people in the Revolutionary Army have to laugh out loud in their dreams?"
Judging from the contract alone, Qingshu does take a big advantage, but if you consider the overall situation, it is a different scene.
Today's revolutionary army has escaped the government's encirclement and suppression by luck, just like a beast that has just survived the cold winter, it is about to reach its limit, at this time, in order to survive, in fact, it is willing to pay anything, if Kailot really wants to force them, what if he wants to come to the two veins?
Don't get me wrong, the two veins promised by the revolutionary army, they just know where the location is, and they are not theirs at all!
Only when they get weapons and equipment and various materials from Qingshu's side can they have ideas about these two veins, otherwise they can only stare at the sidelines, and they can't find other help, that is, they will wait for death.
PS: The new book has been signed, and the collection is a little pitiful, and the bigwigs should be saved first, and the collection will be collected, and there will be five hundred collections of more than 20 collections, which is very urgent and critical.
