Chapter 2397: Gifts to be exchanged

Although the King of the East Sea still had some hesitation, Bai Chen had already told him very clearly that the sooner he joined the Sky Alliance, the sooner he would have meat to eat, and if he was late, he would only be eaten by more wolves.

In the end, the King of the East China Sea still accepted Bai Chen's proposal, and the two sides preliminarily negotiated the matter, and the territorial waters of the East China Sea joined the Sky Alliance.

As for the more detailed details, as well as the signing of the agreement, then there is no need for Bai Chen and the East Sea King to worry about it.

"By the way, do you have any islands where you have established a stronghold?" Bai Chen asked.

"What, you want islands?"

"I want to buy an island and build an airport. Bai Chen said.

"This ...... Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" The King of the East Sea looked at Bai Chen hesitantly, he did want the airport, but what he wanted was to include the spaceship.

Previously, he had seen Sky City's only warship in war, the USS War.

He was amazed by the size of the ship, and he always remembered it, he liked the steel battleship very much, and at the same time he wanted to see his own battleship soaring over his own territorial waters, rather than other people's ships flying in his own territorial waters.

"It's not for military use, it's for civilian use. Bai Chen said: "The main thing is to transport people and goods, do you know why Sky City can develop so fast, it is because Sky City has a strong transportation capacity, and if your territorial waters and people want to develop at a high speed, they must have a strong transportation capacity." ”

"I can also build my own airport, or I can buy my own spaceship. The King of the East Sea said.

Bai Chen smiled and shook his head: "You are wrong, if your territorial waters want to develop, you must not refuse the development of any form of civilian industry, your territorial waters are so huge, do you want to arrange the airport by yourself? Do you think you have enough funds?"

"This ......"

"The construction of supporting facilities for an airport requires at least 500 million Tianjing, and I have estimated that the area of your territorial sea needs at least 100 airports, so as to meet the needs of your territorial waters and people, do you have enough money to build 100 airports?"

Obviously, the king of the East China Sea doesn't have that much money, whether it's him personally or the treasury, he doesn't have that much money.

"The merchants of Sky City and I will probably be able to solve thirty airports for you, plus other members of the Sky Alliance, we can almost establish fifty airports, and then you will use the funds from the treasury to build about twenty airports, and when these airports are connected, your entire country will come alive. ”

The East Sea King's eyes lit up, and he had to say that Bai Chen knew how to grasp people's hearts, he knew how to persuade people, and he knew what others wanted.

Bai Chen paused, and then continued: "Half of your Sea Clan's cities are under the sea, which is your advantage and your disadvantage. ”

"Where are the advantages, and where are the disadvantages?"

"Not every race can adapt to life under the sea, so your territory is destined to be difficult for us outsiders to invade, and some interests are destined to belong only to your sea tribe, and the disadvantage is also this, when capital cannot enter, you can only develop it yourself, of course, you don't have to work hard to build spacious roads like cities on land. ”

"I want to know, if one day, the sea tribes of the entire northern continent and the entire ocean join the Sky Alliance, when the time comes, as members of the Sky Alliance, where will we go to plunder?"

"Don't you understand?" Bai Chen said with a smile: "When we grow to a certain extent, we will reject all outsiders, and there will be closer cooperation internally, not giving outsiders any chance, other countries, races, and forces will only give us wealth, but not have the opportunity to share wealth with us, we will sell more and better things, they can only accept, but not refuse." ”

The more the King of the East China Sea listened, the more frightened he became, Bai Chen's words completely subverted his cognition, and it was a subversion of the past tradition.

In the past, most of the trade was about resources for wealth, or labor for wealth.

But Bai Chen is now exchanging technology for wealth, resources, and labor.

As long as the Sky Alliance wants, it can be exchanged, this human boy, what does he want to do? Does he want to rule the entire Northern Continent in this way?

"I can agree with you to build an airport in my territorial waters, but there are some islands that you need to pay for. ”

"No problem. Bai Chen smiled and nodded: "By the way, I want information to be shared." ”

"Information sharing? Why?"

"It's very simple, the price of some commodities changes all the time, for example, all kinds of blood mines, for example, if a large amount of red blood enters the city in Sky City one day, then the price of red blood will inevitably fall sharply, and you who are far away at sea, if you don't know this news, then you will still earn red blood at the original price, and then you will lose money, are you right? ”

"You're right, I agree with you. ”

In fact, everything was for this purpose, and Bai Chen wanted to know the news of the moving island.

Of course, transforming Sky City into what Bai Chen wanted was just a matter of convenience.

"City Lord, I still want to buy a few spaceships, is that okay?"

"Of course, nowadays, the shipyards in Sky City accept orders from within the Alliance, as long as you have the money, you can buy as many ships as you want. ”

"Is it okay at any level?"

"King, I know you want to buy a tier 10 battleship, but I advise you not to consider it for the time being. ”

"Why? If it's price, I don't think it's a problem. ”

"There are monetary reasons, but the bigger reason is that your treasury funds need to be set aside for business investment and development, not military investment. Bai Chen paused, and added: "Unless you need to wage war with foreign countries, it is a very stupid idea to develop the military now, the so-called military power, first of all, must have sufficient economic conditions to support, rather than using the opportunity to make money to buy weapons, of course, if you must buy it, I will not refuse, because the money must flow into my pocket." ”

"Well, you've convinced me again. ”

The King of the East China Sea found that Bai Chen could always easily change his mind, but he also had to admit that what Bai Chen said made sense.

"But that war of yours is really beautiful! when I have the money, I will definitely buy one." ”

With Bai Chen and Amphit's aesthetics, the War was definitely not pretty, it was just a huge and ugly steel monster.

However, in the eyes of the East China Sea King, the War is too visually impactful.

"My Majesty, as a gift for you to join the Alliance, I give you the War as a gift, this is my sincerity. ”

"What, the War was given to me?" The King of the East Sea stared wide-eyed and looked at Bai Chen in astonishment.

"Yes, for you. ”

"But...... But you're just a war spaceship, right?"

"As I said before, military armament is only needed after there is money, and the current Sky City does not need military armament, and the War Horn will remain in Sky City forever as an ornament. ”

The East Sea King's breathing became rapid: "Your Excellency, I hope that in the future you can call me Tianlan, this is my surname, only my closest friends and brothers can call me by my surname, but I hope you are also one of them." ”

"Of course, Sky Blue, but my name doesn't have that many symbols, and if you don't mind, please call me a stone. ”

"Stone, I've been asking about your name earlier, but the people in the city seem to be very taboo about your name, it turns out that it's because of your name......" The king of the East Sea smiled and said: "I have an island, the name is also called Sky Blue, from today on, it will be yours, but I hope that the name of this island, you don't change it, can you?"

"Of course. Bai Chen nodded.

"Stone, how much does the War cost?"

"Five billion Celestial Crystals. ”

The East Sea King's eyes almost fell to the ground: "What are you talking about?

"In fact, this is because when the war was built, the production department was too unfamiliar with the war, so the cost was so high, and in fact, if you build another one, the cost can be reduced by half. ”

"Even if it's only two and a half billion heavenly crystals, it's still a sky-high price, and I gave you a small island, it looks too shabby. ”

"Gifts are not measured by price, gifts are about a heart. Bai Chen said indifferently.

"You're right, it's my brother I'm too shallow. ”

"Brother, you select a group of trustworthy cronies, and then go to serve on the War first, and be familiar with the operation and use of the War, I will also leave a group of people to train your people, and when your cronies are familiar, my people can retreat. ”

"But where is the War going to be parked?"

"The War is different from other ships. Bai Chen smiled mysteriously.

"How is it different?"

"Would you like to get on the war, so you can get a taste of the real spectacle?"

"Truly magnificent? Stones, I can fly, and I have seen endless seas and mountains from above. ”

"Then you want to see the end of the sea, the other side of the mountain?"

"This ......"

"Come with me, I promise you, you will never regret it, I will show you the scenery that you will never see in this life. ”

"Okay, but I hope I won't be disappointed. ”

Bai Chen took the King of the East China Sea to the War, which was the first time the King of the East Sea boarded the War.

The King of the East Sea was already phantoming, commanding the War Horn himself, galloping at the intersection of the sky and the sea, what a high spirit.

"Lord of the City, Captain of the War, and the Griffon Greydove salute you. ”

"Greydove, report on the values of the war's indicators. ”

"The energy is 95%, the crew is 1,200 people, 1,198 people are in place, all kinds of instruments are normal, and no faults have been found. (To be continued.) )
