The next morning, in the Regent's office in the Tower of Sunrage, Michaela places the sapphire necklace she got from the Tower of Windranger on Cuong's desk.

As a former subordinate of Sylvanas, Cuong had certainly seen this necklace, and he immediately reversed the necklace and saw a line of small print engraved on the back:

"To Sylvanas, who will always love your sister, Aurelia."

Cuong read the above words, then put down the necklace and looked at Michaela, and said, "Minister Mikaela, I thought you were here to submit your resignation to me. ”

After this period of contact, both Cuong and Michaela can feel the similarity between the other party and themselves, that is, neither of them thinks that they are bureaucrats who should sit in the office.

Cuong has always thought of himself as a ranger who should charge into battle, and Michaela has always considered himself a well-traveled adventurer.

Michaela shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "Lord Regent, I am now the minister of Silvermoon City, and I still have duties that must be completed. ”

"Yes, our duty."

Cuong looked at the necklace and then at Michaela, and said, "During the last summit meeting, Sylvanas suggested to me that we should let the blood elves join the tribe, and explained a lot of benefits. ”

After all, in the official history of Warcraft, the blood elves chose to join the tribe, and now the forsaken are already members of the tribe, and if Silvermoon City wants to maintain the relationship between the two sides, it must also join the tribe and obtain support in all aspects.

However, for now, Cuong has not agreed to become a member of the tribe, after all, in history, the blood elves were a member of the alliance and were enemies of the orc tribe, and it has only changed his course in the past few years, and Cuong certainly has a problem in his heart.

"But time waits for no one."

"We have limited resources at hand and we have to recover the economy in a short period of time, so we need foreign help, and the forgotten are simply not enough," Michaela said. ”

Of course, Cuong knows that the Forsaken are now members of the tribe, and the Blood Elves have not yet joined the Tribe, and the two sides have only established diplomatic relations, which cannot be regarded as allies, resulting in very limited support for the Forsaken to the Blood Elves.

So what to do?

There must be a way, first of all, of course, to determine whether joining the tribe is beneficial to the blood elves, after all, political considerations are interests.

"This is the information Sylvanas gave me about the tribe."

I saw Cuong take out a document, hand it to Michaela, and said, "I hope you and the people in your department can study this document carefully and come to a suitable conclusion." Then, as the messenger, you will return the necklace to Sylvanas. ”

After that, Ah Qiang pushed the necklace on the table to Michaela.

There is only one department in Silvermoon City now, and that is Michaela's administrative affairs department, so all internal affairs and diplomatic relations must be handled by him.

"Understood."

Michaela put away the necklace and papers, and then said, "Lord Regent, as our diplomatic relations begin to increase, can we set up a Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs to solve the relevant problems?" ”

Before, the blood elves had no external contact, so Cuong did not set up a Ministry of State Relations, but now that the situation has changed, external contacts have begun to increase, and it is indeed necessary to add another department, and it is impossible to leave everything to Mikaela's Department of Administrative Affairs.

"That's right, Minister Michaela."

Cuong agreed with Michaela: "It seems that I really need to think about the establishment of a Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs. ”

"The Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs must not be established, Minister!"

Moments later, in Michaela's office in the Department of Administrative Affairs, Humphrey, who heard the news, stamped his foot urgently.

However, Michaela didn't understand: "Humphrey, why are you in such a hurry?" A normal country should have set up a Ministry of State and Communications to deal with foreign issues, is there anything wrong? ”

"Minister, why don't you understand!"

Humphrey exclaimed:

"Today's Silvermoon City only has one department, our administrative affairs department, which means that we have the power to control everything inside and outside, but if the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs is established, then the power of diplomatic relations with foreign countries in our hands will not be given away?"

Bernard on the side corrected Humphrey and Michaeira: "It's not us, it's you." ”

Then he was met with the white eyes of the two of them and obediently retreated.

Humphrey continues:

"You're not a civilian now, you're a minister, please think outside the way of a commoner, think about it, when we're the only department in charge of everything, we can expand our staff, and we can request more budgets, and then our authority can be expanded. For example, this time, we could have set up a diplomatic committee in the department to deal with diplomatic affairs. ”

"However, if the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs is formed, it means that we will lose the authority of the sole department, we will lose the expandable staff and more budget, and it will mean that we will lose our original position."

Michaela looked at Humphrey's anxious appearance and said calmly: "I'm not interested in any status, I just feel that it is necessary to establish a Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs now." ”

"What?"

Humphrey looked at Michaela with the eyes of a monster, unable to imagine the logic of the other party.

Tolina complained: "Michaela, Humphrey is a typical bureaucrat, a monster of power, and depriving him of his power is worse than killing him." ”

Michaela didn't feel much about this, but saw Humphrey's uncomfortable appearance, and somehow felt a little happy in her heart.

"Michaela, don't forget to get down to business!" Torina reminded in a whisper.

That's right, down to business.

Michaela took out the tribal information file that Cuong had given him and handed it to Humphrey: "I'll talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Communications later, you can take a look at this first." ”

"Tribal information files?"

Humphrey opened the file and said, "In my image, the orcs are all green-skinned, pungent savage creatures who know nothing but howling and killing. After the end of the orc war, the humans did not kill them all, but chose to imprison them, it is simply stupid, if it were me, I would ...... the orcs"

Humphrey, who was halfway through the conversation, happened to see the information about the orc city on the first page, and immediately said "um", and said to himself: "These green-skinned monsters actually have civilization?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that these contents came from the Forsaken, from Sylvanas, and were absolutely true and reliable, otherwise the blood elves represented by Humphrey would never believe that the barbarian orcs had their own civilization.

"Interesting."

Humphrey put the document on the desk in front of him, and carefully examined it, the description of the tribal civilization seemed to open a new door for Humphrey.

Michaela, on the other side, did not interrupt Humphrey, but patiently waited for Humphrey to read the document.

An hour later, Humphrey, who had carved every punctuation mark into his head in the document, instinctively sensed something with the instinct of an old bureaucrat:

"Chancellor, this document was given to you by the Regent?"

Michaela: "Yes. ”

Humphrey already understood: "I think the regent's worries are unnecessary, we can join the tribe. ”

Humphrey then gave his reasons, the first of which was: "We blood elves are descendants of the High Elves and will not be in league with the barbarians, but the orcs have civilization and show that they are not barbaric, so we can consider an alliance." ”

Blood elves have always been arrogant, so the first thing to solve is the problem of face.

Michaela bowed slightly, "Go on." ”

Humphrey went on to say:

"In addition to the Forsaken, the orc tribe currently gathers two major forces, trolls and minotaurs, with a large population and occupies a large area of land, which is the best commodity sales market outside of the alliance, if we join the tribe, then we blood elves can get this market to export the enchanted products we are proud of."

Back in the days of the old Silvermoon City, the enchantment industry was the pillar industry of the Blood Elves, earning a large amount of gold coins for Silvermoon City every year, until the natural disasters caused great damage and caused the industry to wither. If the blood elves can get the big market of the tribe, then the restoration of the enchantment industry is just around the corner, and the economic problems that have been plaguing the government of New Silver Moon City will be solved!

And last but not least:

"The center of the tribe is Orgrimmar, and the city is located on the continent of Karimdor on the other side of the Endless Sea."

At this point, Humphrey's face appeared and he asked Michaela, "Chancellor, don't you understand what that means?" ”

Michaela uttered a Chinese saying: "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away." ”

"Minister, the height of the mountain has nothing to do with the distance of the emperor."

Who would have thought, Bernard jumped out: "And our elf clan has been a monarch since ancient times, and there has never been an emperor......"

Michaela immediately rolled her eyes at Bernard and asked in a deep voice, "So Bernard, how do you think I should convey the meaning of distance?" ”

Bernard opened his mouth to say an elven saying: "The sun is out of reach." ”

Hehe, don't say, the meaning of Bernard's sentence is really good.

Humphrey said even more bluntly: "Minister, those orcs can't control us. ”

Michaela recalled Humphrey's previous evaluation of the Alliance, one of which was that the Human Alliance would ask the Blood Elves to send troops to recover the former territory of the human race, Lordaeron, and the orc tribe would not have such a problem, which greatly guaranteed the independence of the new Silvermoon City regime.

"Ah, indeed."

Michaela nodded and replied, "The orcs can't control us." ”

"So, it's feasible for us blood elves to join the tribe."

But in the next sentence, Humphrey changed his words: "But there are two more questions next." ”

Michaela: "What? ”

Humphrey replied: "The first question is the trolls, we blood elves and Amani trolls have been fighting for thousands of years, and the two sides are in an unending relationship, and it is impossible for our people to accept a troll ally. ”

Michaela said, "It's not difficult, the trolls who join the tribe belong to the Darkspear tribe of the jungle trolls, and our sworn enemy, the Amani trolls, belongs to the forest trolls, and the two are not the same kind. ”

"Indeed, as long as the propaganda work is done well to the people, the above problems are not difficult to solve."

Humphrey says:

"But the next question is the key."

"That is, why should the tribe accept us?"

As soon as these words came out, Michaela raised her eyebrows.

That's right!

The relationship between countries and the relationship between people is not the same, you can look at the pleasing eye between people, but between countries are based on interests!

If the blood elves can't bring enough benefits to the orc tribe, why should the other party absorb you into the tribe?

Whenever this happens, Tolina will definitely give Michaela a fatal blow:

"Michaela, let me remind you, in the canonical history of Warcraft, the blood elves proved their strength by defeating Darkan, and only then did they successfully join the tribe, and you have already taken the Darkan shark in advance."

Convex (艹)!

The problem is actually on me!
