"Haha, your arrival is the will of the gods, please sit, please sit! The old man, Meboba, is the current leader of the Hana people. ”

The robed waiter put away the small gifts, and the five sat down on the side seats.

"Thank you, Lord Meboba. As you know, the Empire has long ruled the Eastern Earth World, and has long had trade contacts with the various races of the Western Xuan World.

However, after the annihilation, due to the long-term provocation of the Xixuan Federation, the imperial army finally went out of the country and fought back forcefully against the invaders, thus realizing the demilitarization of Path, Herbang and Kera states, and returning peace and tranquility to the region and harmonious development of all ethnic groups.

Presumably, the nobles also know this situation, so we come with sincerity in Xihai trade. ”

Li Lingyou and Xie Wuyi couldn't help laughing, feeling that Wei Ling really thought he was a business representative, and his speech was quite official.

However, for the Hana, neither the Federation nor the Empire are good birds.

Mei Boba nodded with a smile:

We are naturally aware of the changes in the situation, and God has warned us to worship peace and not to engage in these struggles.

In accordance with God's will, we thrive here and have no quarrel with the world. However, this does not mean that we do not need other support from the outside world, and communicating with each other is the way for the tribe to survive.

There are thousands of mountains and rivers between us and the empire, and at the same time, if we participate in the empire's commerce, Kela will not support it. ”

"Haha, it doesn't matter, since it is a business, it must be based on the principle of fairness and voluntariness, and the imperial side will negotiate the legality of the transaction and the taxes that should be collected in Kera State.

We came here first to see if there was such a need among the Hana, Putu, Hak, Chenzhi, Xingku, and other tribes, and if so, it was very likely that a commercial coordination office would be set up under the Observatory.

If there is no need at all, we will not go to Kela to discuss the details, because that kind of wishful thinking is ridiculous. ”

Mei Boba and several high-level executives looked at each other, but their faces became a little unhappy:

"Our people are certainly in a safe corner, but they can still get along with all the tribes, and the Putu, who are bandits and scum, refuse to cooperate with them, and even mind being compared to them."

"For the Empire, respecting the right to existence and development of all races is a principle engraved in our souls.

In the face of various challenges, we are willing to join hands with all ethnic groups to create a better life together.

At best, this is the embodiment of the Empire's will to peace, and at worst, it is the achievement of our West Sea trade to open up new sources of wealth.

We are willing to provide all kinds of energy storage facilities, communication products, pharmaceutical products, food, security equipment and some military supplies. ”

Yang Xiaoyu, Xie Wuyi and Li Lingyou all nodded, this Wei Ling, even if he goes to business, he will be successful, you see, this is not the first thing to say.

Regarding Welling's reply, Meboba did not seem surprised:

"What do you need?"

"Metal! A variety of rare metals, of course, G205 metal is the main one. ”

Welling's reply was unequivocal.

Meboba nodded, which was in line with their prediction.

For that vast and powerful Eastern Empire, only the metals collected by the various races were qualified to be called hard currency.

"Very well, young man, you are very eloquent and frank, and to be honest, we do not rule out doing business with the trading companies of the Empire.

As long as we can negotiate a reasonable transaction price in the future, we will be happy to see more than we can gain now. ”

Welling's face was overjoyed, and he bowed:

"Your old wisdom is as vast as the stars in the night sky, and the nobles will surely lead to a brighter future under the guidance of wise men like you."

"Haha, what a talkative gentleman! We are ashamed of your praise. ”

Welling was slightly naïve, and his expression was a little confused:

"But, from what you mean, the Putu seem to be ...... More out of this era? Then I'll have to reassess whether it's necessary to look for them. ”

Faced with Welling's doubts, Meboba's face became a little ugly:

"Yes, the northern tribe of the Putu people, they are a bunch of villains who are led by demons, who do not want to make progress, do not care about integrity, and do not preach morality! If you go into their tribe like this, we don't think you're going to be friendly. ”

"I would like to hear the details, please give me advice."

"The Putu were the northern branch of their race in Kera and the southern branch was in the mountains west of Pat, and before the great annihilation, their northern and southern branches were fratricidal because of differences in ideas.

After the Great Annihilation, the Northern Branch became even more brutal and barbaric, and many of the remaining small tribes around it were swallowed up and destroyed by them...... To be honest, the armament and defense of our clan are also mainly aimed at them......"

Meboba paused the message, as if he had some concerns to talk about.

"Oh, I see, according to you, it must be that they are outnumbered and have the support of the Federation in terms of armament, so that it is possible to be so strong that the surrounding neighbors are jealous."

Meboba smiled slightly:

"No, no, according to the grapevine, it is not the Federation that supports them, the Federation once hoped that we, the small tribes, could integrate into the entire Federation, but we all gave up, then, we must also give up the support of the Federation."

Welling's face froze:

"You mean, if it's not the Federation, then there must be some forces in the Empire supporting them?

After all, in this era, it is impossible to produce such complex medicine and armaments without a strong enough force, without a perfect basic industry and system. ”

There was a smile in Meboba's eyes, and this smile was a little complicated:

"Yes, this is unconfirmed, but among their equipment, they do have the standard equipment of the Imperial Army, and of course, there are also federal ones.

As for the source, who knows, maybe it was robbed, only the true God knows. ”

Welling seemed to become a little impulsive, and bowed:

"Dear Lord Meboba, we are tasked with the trade of the West Sea, we must find out this reason, the big tree still has dead branches, the empire is so huge, naturally there are some scum.

If there are unknown forces in the empire involved in private arms deals, we must report it and cut off these black hands! ”

Mei Boba seemed to be very satisfied with this effect, and exchanged glances with several of his fellow clansmen, but it is not clear whether there is any information loss:

"Your courage and blood are truly the pride of the Empire!"

In the face of Meboba's dry praise, Welling made a look of embarrassment:

"To tell the truth, the presence of empires has never been manifested in this vast land, and we are also quite unfamiliar with this place, with only a small amount of information about the industrious, brave and wise people like you, who are still fighting against nature and fate under such difficult conditions.

To be honest, I don't even have the addresses and basic information of several other tribes, so I wonder if I can get your generous guidance? ”

Welling knew in his heart that this was his expectation and request on the surface, but after the previous instigation and lobbying, this may have become Meboba's wish.

As the leader of a remnant tribe, the stagnation of development and the decline of the tribe will also give them a sense of urgency, and they will face more exploitation and repression to trade with Kela unilaterally, and it will be more difficult to support the survival of the tribe, let alone more development.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good thing for the seller to be able to bring in the power of the empire to move westward and participate in the material trade, at least there is one more choice, isn't it?

Welling's judgment was correct, and these thoughts flashed in the sea of knowledge of Mei Boba and others, and several high-level officials also had a simple secret exchange.

In their opinion, as for the outcome of the matter, if it was really as these young men said, cutting off the private dealings between the Putu and the Empire, it would be extremely beneficial to weaken the old adversary.

Even if these young people do not achieve their goals, as long as the matter of their private transactions is stabbed at the official level of the empire, it will be a major blow to the Putu.

Moreover, these young people, their words and deeds, look like the children of the big family of the empire, and this matter may not be impossible.

There is also a key point, Meboba and a few elders, because the sale of collected metal is one of the important sources of income for the tribe, they have always known about the major metal trading companies, so they really know about the West Sea trade, and also understand that it is a huge industry of the empire.

Of course, they weren't going to show the Welling Five that they had this understanding.

In the end, it's okay to try, anyway, you don't need your own tribe to contribute, and there is nothing to lose if you fail.

On the other hand, if the Putu people don't know what to do and kill some of these five people, hehe, that's the best news.

Meboba believes that the identities of these people, although they are from the West Sea on the surface, may not have other identities, and if there is any mistake, it is not the Hana people who greet the anger of the empire.

"Haha, it is not the habit of the Hana people to let the distinguished guests return with regrets."

A packet of information was lost.

Welling was overjoyed, this wise old gentleman, who was afraid that he would not be able to show sincerity, packed and threw away the data of the remnant tribes in the entire region, covering the history, cultural habits, population status, residential areas, etc.

With the speed of Welling's brain, he had already preliminarily packed the information into the collation in an instant, and unexpectedly found that the leader of the Putu people was really not Bi Riyanggu, but an old man named Emir.

However, this could not hide Welling's suspicions, since even the Hana people knew that the Spectrum Man and the Imperial forces were colluding, then the suspicion of the other party would only become greater.

Welling tossed the packet to the other four and saluted again:

"Thank you again for your generosity and tolerance, and after we have completed the consultation and investigation of this trip, and the Imperial side has made a decision, it is certain that the Imperial Military Observatory in Kela will set up a corresponding department, and Mr. Cyril of the nobles in Kela will be invited to participate in the discussion...... In other respects, we dare not disturb the elderly more, so please allow us to leave. ”

Without a word, Mei Boba naturally did not put more energy and attention into this team, and politely invited a few people to have dinner and reception party, but seeing that Welling was very determined, he regretted saying goodbye:

"Although a few of you are business envoys, I have also seen the demeanor of the empire from you, and I think the next time we meet, we will definitely be more familiar with and understand, and the atmosphere of drinking and talking will be more enthusiastic!"

In fact, Mei Boba smiled a little secretly in his heart, after all, he is a young man, and it is normal to be a little uncontrollable, and when he hears that the Putu people may be smuggling with the imperial forces, he must want to understand it thoroughly, and his mood is understandable.
