"So, how are you going to convince us to give you this Mithril Mine?" Sidipat said with a smirk, "You know, if the Orc Court knew that there was such a Mithril Mine, it would also be interested. ”
"If you have to occupy this Mithril Mine, the only consequence is to lead to another great war between the Humans and the Orcs, this Mithril Mine cannot be hidden, although we have tried our best to block the news, but when Mithril starts to be used, sooner or later someone will show up. ”
"Do you think the Rhine will be afraid of war?" Sidipater raised his head.
"Once the Mithril Mine is exposed, Modo and Asturias will reach out, of course the Rhine is powerful, but you are in conflict with Taggo at the same time, do you plan to shake hands with Tygor, and then form an alliance to fight for this Mithril Mine?" ”
Sidipat's face immediately changed, and if he was replaced by other orcs, or even other people in the Rhine, he might not think about it further, but he immediately understood what Wang Qinian meant.
If Rhine really fought with Tygo for this Mithril mine and came to grab it together, then it would be absolutely natural for Tygo to ask for half of the benefits.
The problem was that Tiger was so far away from the Free City that he had to pass through Wolff's or the Rhine's sphere of influence before he could send a large army.
So once there is a real conflict with the human race, it will definitely be Rhine who is bleeding and sweating.
This becomes, for this mine, Rhine has to fight with human life and blood, and Tiger only needs to pay a promise to stop the war with Rhine to get half of the benefits of the Mithril mine.
Is there such a good thing in the world? At present, the two sides are still like fire and water.
At that time, the Rhine and the Terrans will work hard, even if they have the upper hand in the war between humans and beasts, the strength of the tribe will be greatly reduced, even if they share the same income as the Mithril Mine with Tiger, they will lose the benefits of one or the other in the future, no matter how you look at it, it will be the most cost-effective for Tiger.
Moreover, Tygo does not attach as much importance to honor as the Rhine, in case he promises on the surface, when the Rhine and the Terrans are at war, and Tygo tears up the agreement to encroach on the territory of the Beast, then it is difficult to say whether the income from the Mithril Mine can be worth the loss.
Not to mention facing two countries of the Terran at the same time, Asturias is one of the big 6 powers, which is a hard bone, even a powerful tribe like the Rhine must be cautious.
"Could it be that you have something to build a good idea?" said Sidipat, "since you have invited me so cautiously, you must have thought of some solution?"
"There is indeed a building yì. This Mithril mine is qualified enough for the Terrans and the Orcs to explode into a war, but if the war really breaks out, the Orcs are temporarily at a disadvantage. ”
"No, your judgment is wrong, although we in the Rhine are facing Tygo's *** annoyance, I don't deny it. But you forget, there is Wolf next to them, if they know the news, they may not be tempted, if we are willing to contribute some strength, and then unite with Wolf, we can fight for this Mithril mine. Sidipat added some chips that would increase the terms of the exchange even if Wang had to convince him of something.
"Yes, yes, there is Wolf, but adding Wolf, it means that they will not come in vain, of course, let Tigergo go in half, it is better to let Wolfe take it, anyway, Wolf is close, if the war really breaks out, Wolf will have to sweat and blood like you to get Mithril, but not like Tiger, who only needs to move his mouth. ”
"But, however, Sidipat, how sure are you, and how determined are you to sacrifice how many people for this Mithril Mine? ”
"Rhine is willing to fight for his own interests and glory, and those fellows of Wolff are not afraid of death despite their humble backgrounds. Sidipate said proudly, but he was slightly lacking in confidence in his heart.
The Rhine is brave, but the threat of Tygo is also real, and the battle between the tribes is also cruel, and now the orc court is in a chaotic period of the death of the old emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, and the major tribes are ready to move, and contradictions are prominent.
Of course, Sidipat's efforts to hide this point were tried his best to hide it, and he refused to show more in front of Wang Qinian.
"But I have a better way, no war, no death, or even if the war is broken, the losses will be much smaller, so that Rhine can share the benefits of the Mithril Mine. Wang Qinian said.
"Oh?" Sidipat's suspicious look at Wang Qinian.
"That's why Free City is rushing to mint Mithril. ”
Although Sidipater can be regarded as a rare hero among the orcs, and has spent a period of time in the human race because of curiosity and experience, he can't guess Wang Qinian's thoughts at this time, and he doesn't understand what the appearance of the Mithril coin has to do with what he said.
"Sidipat, if the orcs want to monopolize the Mithril mine, it is impossible for the Terran country to agree to it, and there will definitely be a big war. But what if the orcs just asked for a guarantee of the deposit and circulation of the Mithril coin?" Wang Qinian said with a smile.
Sidiparter was stunned for a moment, then understood something.
As Wang Qinian said, whether it is Rhine, Wolf, or even the two combined, even if they pull up Tiger, who may not be able to work, it may still break out into a big war.
In the event of a major war, the benefits to the Rhine will not necessarily outweigh the disadvantages.
But if Rhine only asks that the Mithril coinage in the trade between the Free City and the Orcs not be abandoned, then the shape is different, and under the premise that the Mithril Coin is already in circulation and circulating, if either Modo or Asturias want to abandon the Mithril Mine and take full possession, the Orcs can exert influence as victims.
The orcs want to eat a piece of bread alone, and of course the Terran countries don't do it, preferring war, but on the other hand, if the Terrans want to eat a piece of bread alone, it is not a test of Modo and Asturias' determination to bear the sacrifice.
"If we add to this the influence of the merchants' losses on the reputation of the war-starters, and the tendency of the Free City, it may be possible to find a balance. Wang Qinian clicked again.
If the currency that is already in circulation is discarded, the merchants who come and go will definitely make a big deal about it, whether it is Modo or Asturias, and of course, you can't care about this if you are thick-skinned.
But on the other hand, in the face of the threat of war, the choice of the Free City itself is very important.
It is true that the strength of the Free City is the weakest of the forces, but once it recognizes this and makes up its mind to attach itself to a certain party, then the assistance of the Free City, which occupies a favorable position and has a not weak army itself, is definitely the support that any force must receive, and this is clearly seen by Franklin, Chris and Wang Qinian.
If the Free City chooses to help the Terran nation, then the price to be paid by Rhine and Wolf will probably be even greater, and vice versa, the same will be true for the Terran state.
"Isn't that in the best interest of you orcs, and of us? See, as long as you can ensure that the Mithril mint continues to be deposited, and it becomes the only legal tender to be used in trade with you, you can exchange it for Mithril minting through guò trade, and share the benefits of Mithril Mine. Wang Qinian smiled.
Sidiparter fell into deep thought, and he understood more and more what Wang Qinian meant.
In this way, it may indeed be possible to avoid a real war, or just a tentative war, to test each other's determination, and when the bottom line of the Terrans and Orcs is the deposit and circulation of Mithril coinage, rather than the complete possession, then it is indeed possible to compromise.
If such a situation can be achieved, as Wang Qinian said, Rhine can obtain Mithril coinage through guò trade, and after obtaining the coinage, it can be smelted and used for other purposes, and it can also be used to buy Terran things.
Therefore, Wang Qinian quickly added the last straw that prompted the other party to make up his mind, "As long as Rhine agrees, in the future, the City Lord's Mansion will give up the current right of first refusal, as long as you pay the Mithril coinage, and the other party is willing to sell, you will get the right to trade freely." ”
"The right to free trade? well, just use that excuse. Sidipate smiled slightly, "I've been persuaded by you for the time being, but in this matter, we can't just have such a small benefit, I have to go back and discuss, and the next time I come, I will sue sù all the conditions." ”
"Actually, if you don't mind, you can really pull Wolf up. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Qinian still said.
It is not surprising that Wang Qinian would say this, because based on the interests and position of the Free City, most of his plan has been revealed so far, that is, to convince the orcs first, and let the Rhine know that fighting for this Mithril mine with all their might not necessarily be the best result, on the contrary, taking a step back can also get benefits, but the price paid may be much smaller.
Borrowing the power of the orcs to threaten the Terrans to compromise in turn is walking on a tightrope, and the balance between the two sides must be very well controlled.
Whether the Rhine can achieve its goal or not, Wang Qinian thinks that it is not enough, but if Wolfe is added, even Asturias will have to think more, and the closer it is to the balance, the more important the attitude of the Free City itself is, in other words, it is possible to retain more interests in this turmoil.
"If I can convince my father, I will contact Wolfe. To Wang Qinian's surprise, Sidipat readily agreed, originally Wang Qinian thought that he would have to go further and clarify the form.
In fact, this is the reason why Wang Qinian doesn't know enough about the situation of orcs.
Rhine values honor, and it is difficult to hear that it is face, but it is not stupid.
I am reluctant to share the benefits with Tygo, who does not contribute to the work, or even sticks a knife in the back, but if it is Wolfe, the werewolves' sphere of influence is not too far from the Free City, and it is also necessary to shed blood and sweat to get benefits.
And Sidipat's deeper level is to take this opportunity to improve the relationship with the Wolffs, it is best to make the other party change from neutral to biased towards himself, and the establishment of common interests is the most direct and simple way, when there is a free city as a bond, the orc trade group can also join the Wolffs, and then exchange interests through this relationship, you can achieve some goals.
As for the deposit and circulation of Mithril coinage, as Wang Qinian said, it is also extremely useful for the Rhine, since the Free City is willing to make conditions for this, as long as the currency is kept in deposit and circulation, the orcs can continue to obtain Mithril through guò trade.
Although this is a bit of a bargain price for the orcs, at least they don't have to fight both sides at the same time because of this.
The Free City has promised free trade, and Mithril coinage can be bought without restrictions, which is attractive to orcs.
In addition, after the Mithril Coinage is taken back and smelted partially, it is used as one of the raw materials for totem drawing magic liquid, and it is also very useful to make friends with some relationships in the orc royal court.
Although the orc royal court is now in the midst of a storm of power struggle, sooner or later the curtain will come to an end, and maintaining a good relationship with the scepter priests is undoubtedly beneficial to the clan.
