Luke couldn't help but smile when he learned from the visiting Acting Dean Makatina that the Shamrock wanted to board the Kirov steamship.

In the Jade Palace, the Shamrock King is the master, and the Golden Shield King Court belongs to the guests. In terms of identity, the Shamrock King is the ruler of the Emerald Forest, and he is only the first assistant of a country, and there is a big difference in status. According to etiquette, you should visit the palace by the Emerald Lake.

If the Shamrock King takes the initiative to visit the head of the Golden Shield Empire from afar, it is very unassuming, so there is Makatina to speak this time.

So Luke publicly sent an invitation to Emerald Lake: he sincerely invited the Shamrock King to visit the Kirov steam airship.

The Shamrock King has face, and the Golden Shield Empire also has face.

Soon, the Shamrock King led a delegation of elders to board the Kirov steam airship to start formal negotiations between the Emerald Forest and the Golden Shield Empire.

In terms of commercial trade and alchemy technical cooperation, Lady Mihir has already talked about it with the Emerald Forest. After the terms agreed by both parties, they only need to be signed by Luke and Shamrock to take effect.

Joining the "free trade body" is the core of the negotiations between the two sides.

Among them, currency exchange and weakening the role of the World Bank's gold bills in trade are the core purposes of the Golden Shield Empire's establishment of a "free trade body".

Emerald Forest's entry into the "free trade body" has touched the sensitive nerves of the World Bank, and it does not want to continue to stimulate the shimmering gold people in terms of weakening the gold coupons, so the negotiation of the details has become very difficult.

The alliance that has just been signed with the Dragon Kingdom is where the confidence of the Shamrock King lies, and he tries to fight for more benefits for the Emerald Forest on the condition of joining the "free trade body".

In the first negotiation, the two sides fought for more than 10 hours, and until late at night they did not come up with a result that was acceptable to both sides.

This situation was expected by Luke, and he did not intend to negotiate this matter anytime soon.

This time, the Golden Shield Empire supported the Emerald Forest, with the purpose of buying horse bones. Now it has created momentum all over the world, and if it ends too quickly, it will give people the feeling that the Golden Shield Empire is bullying the weak and taking advantage of people's danger.

Anyway, the meat of the Emerald Forest has already reached the mouth, so there is no hurry to swallow it.

So when the two sides agreed to continue the talks tomorrow, Luke said to the king of the three leaves: "Your Majesty, I will return to the empire tomorrow, and I will entrust the next negotiations to Lady Mihir." ”

The Shamrock King was surprised by the sudden return of the meteorite: "Is it because we made you feel neglected?" ”

"No, no...... The warmth of the forest elves made me feel at home. Luke smiled and said, "Mainly because I have been out for too long this time, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the Imperial Court and Angry Waves City." Especially when it comes to the new emperor's accession to the throne, there must be no surprises. ”

Hearing that the meteorite did not leave because of slackness, the Shamrock King breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, for the Golden Shield Empire, nothing is more important than the new emperor ascending the throne. I have received an invitation to the ceremony, and I will definitely go to the city of St. Lun to congratulate me then. ”

"On behalf of the Empire, I would like to extend my most sincere welcome to Your Majesty the Shamrock King. The signing ceremony of the Emerald Forest into the 'Free Trade System' will be held in the ceremony. ”

Shamrock King stood up and stretched out his hand to Luke: "Just sign it at the ceremony, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

Luke shook hands with the Shamrock King: "Thank you!" May you also lead the Emerald Forest on a path of prosperity. The Kirov steam airship remains here, and I have given an order to allow His Majesty to visit it as he pleases. ”

Hearing that the Kirov airship could be visited at will, the Shamrock King could not hide his joy.

After entering the airship cabin, the forest elves felt a stronger shock than from the outside, and it was like they had traveled to another world. There is a lot of magic technology used here, and there are many things that the forest elves have never heard of. There is also a high concentration of magical energy environment, which makes the mages feel as if they are immersed in the tide of magical energy.

Just now, the Shamrock King was still thinking about how to learn some magic skills from the Kirov steam airship, but he didn't expect the Falling Star Shousuke to let go of the visit. He believed that with the ability of the forest elf alchemist, there was no problem at all in learning some magic techniques.

The Shamrock King held Luke's hand with both hands: "Thank you, Meteorite Shousuke." You and the Golden Shield Empire's help to the Emerald Forest will definitely be rewarded accordingly! ”

Luke also held the Three Leaves King with both hands: "I believe in the character of the forest elves, I am waiting for Your Majesty in Shenglun City." ”

"Good!"

The Shamrock King left the Kirov steam airship with the Emerald Forest delegation, and after Luke explained the bottom line of the Golden Shield Empire to Lady Mihir, he rode back to the empire on the black dragon Bariel overnight.

He did delay too much time in the Emerald Forest, and as Empress Christina's enthronement ceremony was approaching, he had to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation and prevent accidents.

Night shrouded the sea, and the black dragon roared across the starry sky.

The brightly lit Emerald Court grew farther and farther away, and at last only the moon overhead accompanied Luke through his long journey.

After a while, the Black Dragon Bariel spoke, "Gluttonous King! ”

Luke corrected: "The Gluttonous King is just an unknown identity of mine, and now I am the Meteorite, the head of the Golden Shield Empire. ”

"I'm sorry, Falling Star Shousuke." Now the black dragon Bariel has an unusual respect for Luke: "Would you like to take a detour to the Dragon Kingdom?" You have allowed the dragon to return to the Emerald Forest after a thousand years, and the dragon kings are eager to meet you, and they already know that the Gluttonous King is the legacy of the deceased dragon king. ”

Luke considered the option of taking a detour to the Dragon Kingdom, and finally said regretfully: "If you go to the Dragon Kingdom at this time, I don't know what will delay the time." And in addition to getting to know each other with the dragon kings, it will not have a substantive effect.

When I return to the Imperial Capital, you will visit the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Kingdom on my behalf. Bring an invitation to the Golden Shield Empire, hoping that the Dragon Kingdom will send a delegation to attend the enthronement ceremony of Empress Christina. The scale doesn't need to be too big, four or five dragon kings are fine. ”

The black dragon Bariel replied: "Do your will!" I think the dragon kingdom will soon be able to welcome back our new king! ”

Luke laughed and patted the black dragon Bariel's head: "I'm a human being, gluttony is just a young dragon who doesn't know anything, how can those unruly dragon kings surrender." ”

"I'm convinced!"

Luke laughed louder and looked up at the sky. The moon is full like a disk, and a figure flies in the middle of the moonlight.

……

With the blessing of magic, the black dragon Bali flew fast, and the next afternoon he flew across the ocean to reach the city of Angry Waves.

Luke had just landed in his own satrap when he received a message.

Leo's newly formed Revival Society won the general election, formed a national parliament, and officially took power. The Revival Society was founded on the government-in-exile of the former Republic of Leo, which became the largest political group in Leo after absorbing a number of nobles and local tycoons from the old kingdom, and won the election by overwhelmingly defeating other rivals.

Instead of restoring the Republic of Leo, the ruling new parliament honored the Queen of Leo as the Queen of the Golden Valley and established the Kingdom of Leo as a constitutional monarchy.

The Leo Kingdom's mission has arrived in the City of Angry Waves, hoping to be recognized by the Golden Shield Empire and re-establish diplomatic relations between the two countries. Because of the absence of the Imperial Shousuke, Empress Christina never approved the mission to go to Shenglun City, so they stayed in the City of Fury Waves, waiting for the Meteorite Shousuke to return home.

Luke returned to his office and quickly checked the information on the Leo Kingdom that he had collected during this time. Outside the window, the black dragon Bariel flew away, and he wanted to go to the Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible, so that the Dragon Kingdom delegation could participate in the empress's enthronement ceremony in time.

From the available information, it can be seen that the evolution of Leo's political situation has been under the supervision of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. The top and bottom of the kingdom of Leo have been infiltrated like a sieve by the secret intelligence bureau, and politicians really dare to sell anything in order to get the support of the empire.

This time, the Leo Kingdom mission is ostensibly here to establish diplomatic relations, but in fact, everyone has a cooperation plan representing their respective factions.

The chaos caused by the Restoration War and Pan's death crushed Leo's original interest system. Coupled with the naval blockade of the Golden Shield Empire, factories closed down, a large number of people lost their jobs, and production resources were everywhere that were sold cheaply but could not be sold.

At this time, whoever has the capital to enter Leo first will be able to enjoy this feast to the fullest.

The only countries that have this strength in the world are the World Bank and the Golden Shield Empire.

The Leo people knew that they were too close to the Golden Shield Empire, and whoever dared to bring the World Bank in would not see the sun the next day. Therefore, Leo and all parties squeezed their heads into the delegation, waiting to sell themselves at a good price and drink soup behind the capital of Angry Waves.

Empress Christina also saw that Leo's delegation was too complicated, so she didn't let them go to the city of St. Lun. Another meaning is to know that Leo is a dish that has been laid out by the meteorite for a long time, and to keep it until the meteorite comes back is to express that he has no interest in this dish.

Caught in the intelligence of the Kingdom of New Leo is also a report on the current status of various industries in Leo.

The collapse of the Rio economy, inflation has made the national currency like waste paper, and all hard assets are the price of cabbage.

It's the best time to buy the bottom.

In order to buy out Leo, the capitalists in Angry Waves City are already sharpening their knives, just waiting for the first assistant of the falling star to return to China and give an order.

Ibur, who was already the Minister of Finance of the Empire, also came to the City of Angry Waves from the Holy Lun City for this purpose, took a knife and fork in the city government hall, and waited for the banquet to begin.

Now that the meal was on the table, Luke was not polite.

Summons the delegation of the Kingdom of Leo.

The next day, the Governor's Mansion announced that the Bank of Angry Waves would provide a loan worth 5 billion Reichsmarks to the Kingdom of Rio for the infrastructure of the Kingdom of Rio.

The city of Angry Waves fully funded the renovation of the Royal Leo Palace, and the renovated Royal Leo Palace was opened to the public as a museum.

The Empire's Premier, Meteorite, expressed his willingness to facilitate the restoration of diplomatic relations between the Empire and the Kingdom of Leo, and invited the President of the Parliament of Leo to the Imperial Celebration in the city of St. Lun.

The Angry Waves City Business Group established the Rio Kingdom Economic and Trade Investment Committee, with the first assistant of the Meteorite as the chairman and the minister of Ibur as the vice chairman. The responsibility of the Rio Kingdom Economic, Trade and Investment Committee is to coordinate the investment of merchants in Rio, avoid vicious competition, and help Rio's industries get out of the predicament and resume production as soon as possible.

Until the Kingdom of Leo issues a new national currency, the Reichsmark and the old currency of Leo can circulate in Leo at the same time. Angry Waves encourages merchants traveling to the Kingdom of Leo to use the Imperial Marks for trading, helping the Kingdom of Leo to quickly accumulate Imperial Marks for importing necessities from the Empire.

Meteorite Shousuke proposes to make Port Samuel in the Kingdom of Leo a free port, allowing Imperial warships to dock freely for supplies.

Falling Star Shousuke proposes that the Kingdom of Leo apply to the Empire for a garrison to make up for the lack of national defense forces.

Meteorite proposed to help the Kingdom of Leo form a defense force, eliminate local warlords and illegal forces, and concentrate the command of the army under the leadership of the Congress.

Meteorite Shousuke proposes that the Kingdom of Leo join the "Free Trade Body".

Meteorite Shousuke proposed that the Leo Kingdom revise the textbook to downplay the historical contradictions between the two countries and increase the intimacy between the two countries.

Meteorite Shousuke proposed......

……

Ships and airships swarmed out of Raging Waves and headed east, as if they had heard the starting gun. The kingdom of Leo in front of him unloaded all his guards and waited for the mob to come to the door.

After the calculation of the first assistant staff group, after this harvest, more than half of the economy of the Leo Kingdom will be controlled by the capital of Angry Waves City. Among them, heavy industries and high-precision industries such as steel, machinery, and alchemy will be directly or indirectly controlled by Yanyang Group.

It can be said that the economic lifeline of the entire Leo Kingdom is held by Luke, and a comprador class will be born within the Leo Kingdom to become the white glove of the capital of Raging Waves City, which will be used to manipulate Leo's economy.

As for the upper echelons of the Leo Kingdom, it will trap Luke in the electoral infighting he designed for them. Raging Waves City Capital subsidizes puppets through white gloves, and the obedient go up and the disobedient come down.

What the low-level civilians can see is their own one-vote elected parliamentarians and speakers, and if they complain, they can replace them with a new batch.

With the reins hidden on one side, as long as the Golden Shield Empire does not fall, the Leo Kingdom will not be able to get out of this besieged city.

So far, Leo, who has been on the side of the couch and has made the emperors of the Golden Shield Empire restless, can be regarded as a complete solution. When Samuel Harbor is in hand, and Angry Waves City is like two gates stuck on both sides of this channel, most maritime countries want to follow the World Bank to sanction the Golden Shield Empire, and they must first consider how much benefit loss this route can bring to them.

I wonder if the sound is okay in the Golden Valley?

After sending the Leo mission away, Luke couldn't help but stand by the window and look out at the ocean. The wind blows, bringing the waves to the waves. There are ships that sail out of port against the waves, airships that fight against the wind, and their belief in a better future makes them dare to face the wind and waves.

At this time, the empire is also ready, it is like a train with a steam turbine boiling, and after eliminating all the problems, it is galloping on the road to dawn.

"Shousuke-sama!" Coconut pushed the door and walked in, and the special boots clattered on the marble floor tiles: "The airship to the imperial capital is ready." Now that there is a sudden strong wind outside, do you want to postpone the departure time? ”

Luke turned and walked out the door, "No! Such a wind is nothing, let's go now! ”
