Chapter 268

At this moment, Mrs. Augatha did not know that her daughter had been kidnapped.

She was still concentrating on her duties as a diplomatic envoy of Demacia, and was busy meeting and talking with Levi, the president of the Association of Leaders.

Although Li Wei is different from Mel, and from all the opponents Mrs. Augatha has come into contact with before, she only has the charisma of a reckless hero, without the demeanor of an aristocratic gentleman.

It makes her very uncomfortable

However, the contacts and exchanges between the two sides went on very smoothly at first.

Because Demacia needs the leader as a friend, and the leader also needs food imports from Demacia.

Both sides of the cooperation have needs for each other, and this cooperation is much easier to negotiate.

The only dispute is how far this "friend" can be counted as satisfying to both parties.

Demacia's opinion is:

"Let the leader send troops to assist Demacia's Eastern Front defense war, and help Demacia guard the gate of sorrow?" Hearing this condition, Li Wei couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Yes." Mrs. Augesa explained in a prepared manner: "But don't worry. We don't need the leader to fight for Demacia. We just need the leader's flag to appear on the battlefield of Demacia. OK."

"I understand." Of course Li Wei understood: "I just want to drag me into the water and help you attract the firepower of the Noxus?"

"." Mrs. Augatha is still not used to Li Wei's language that is too Zaun.

It's not elegant.Not suitable for formal diplomatic occasions.

But Levi was right.

"Don't need leaders to fight for Demacia?" It sounds nice.

However, as long as the leader's flag appeared on the battlefield, it was an open alliance with the Kingdom of Demacia and declared war on the Noxus Empire.

Looking at the map again, Zaun is so close to Noxus and so far away from Demacia.At that time, Noxus will not "resist the outside world first", and pour all its firepower on the leaders?
At that time, the leaders will have no way to retreat, because behind them is Demacia, which is .10000 miles away.

To protect Demacia, they need to fight to the last Zaun.

"You don't treat us as friends, but as you take us for a ride." Li Wei said very bluntly.

Isn't it just a signal to trick teammates with worthless heads to come and sell them, so that it is convenient for you to escape?
He is familiar with this trick.

"President Li Wei, you don't worry too much." Mrs. Augsa's expression remained unchanged, she still maintained her elegance and grace: "The leader has the blessing of the great goddess Janna. Even if we openly form an alliance, Noxus There is a high probability that the Sri Lankan Empire will not take action against Zaun."

"Those Noxians will only be afraid of the strategic deterrence of the Demacia and Zaun Alliance, and stop their greedy and shameless war of aggression. Chairman Levi, please seriously consider this proposal-peace in Runeterra is in our hands at this moment .”

"Peace? You're probably talking about the peace of Demacia!" Li Wei still mocked shamelessly.

Although he hates the aggressive Noxus Empire.But he also dislikes Demacia's way of talking about justice and keeping peace while pursuing interests while occupying the moral high ground.

"Do you know what it would cost if Zaun and Noxus were to be decoupled—even if it wasn't all about war, just economically?"

"All of our food imports come from Noxus, and more than 8% of our industrial exports go to Noxus."

"If we openly align with Demacia today, you'll see millions of unemployed workers on the streets tomorrow."

Li Wei's tone was very serious.He couldn't bear such consequences.

But Mrs. Augesa thinks that this is completely affordable: "The food imports can be provided by us in Demacia."

"As for the unemployment caused by the blockage of industrial product exports."

This is not a problem at all in the eyes of the old nobleman Augesa.

"As long as those ordinary people have something to eat, nothing will happen." Augusta said with experience.

After all the wars, how can the common people on the front line continue to live and work in peace and contentment?Unemployment is not normal?

"As long as we keep our food supplies and wartime controls in place, Zaun will remain monolithic."

"As for the lives of those unemployed Zaun workers, it will be hard for them before Noxus succumbs."

Perhaps because she realized that her words were too much, Augatha also specifically added: "We in Demacia will find ways to make up for the economic losses caused by the war confrontation to Zaun through various forms of assistance."

"for example."

"No, absolutely not." Li Wei was not interested in listening at all.

He didn't want to let the people of Zaun suffer in order to help Demacia breathe.

Although he doesn't pay attention to Zaun's priority, and he is not a fan of the theory of building a city, but he is very clear:

Now as long as conditions permit, he must prioritize Zaun's economic development, and prioritize the living standards of Zaun people, rather than other things.

Why has Goddess Janna's strength recovered so quickly recently?
Why has the Faith of the Leader spread rapidly in Zaun in the past few months?

In addition to the natural closeness of Zaun workers to Janna's thoughts, and the effective propaganda work of the leaders, there is another most important reason, which is very vulgar but also very realistic:

That is, the common people can see that the leader has actually made the lives of Zaun people better.

"Actually, until more than two months ago, before the goddess Janna came to the Twin Cities, our promotional work in Zaun and Piltover was not as smooth as outsiders imagined."

Because not everyone naturally has a high degree of ideological consciousness.

For most ordinary people, including the poor in Zaun, whatever ideology and doctrine you promote to them will have no effect at all.

In everyone's simple expectations, only ideas that can make everyone live a better life immediately are good ideas.

At that time, the Guild of Leaders had just gained a firm foothold in Zaun, and the standard of living in the base area was far from being comparable to that of Piltover.

Therefore, the propaganda work of the leader often encounters this kind of problem:
You tell him about the exploitation of benzene.

He told you that people in Piltover eat steak and live in big houses;
You tell him about the Great Harmony of the world.

He told you that people in Piltover eat steak and live in big houses;
You tell him where the excess profits of Piltover come from, and how much blood and sweat of third-world workers are behind the prosperity of Piltover.

He told you that people in Picheng wash dishes for 300 silver wheels a month.

Speaking of all the theories, can your theory make life as good for the people of Zaun as for the people of Piltover?
Since Picheng can live such a happy life with the Zionism, then the Zionism is right and perfect.

You, Janna, are wrong, naive, and useless to oppose such a perfect seed doctrine;
Many people in Zaun back then thought so.

As a result, preaching Janna ideas to them is of no use at all.

Propagating the national hatred of Piltover and Zaun, and chanting the simple slogan "Make Zaun great again" can achieve good results.

This situation continued until .
"It lasted until the goddess Janna descended on the Twin Cities, Camille's reactionary group was destroyed, Piltover fled, the economy collapsed, and fell into a terrible depression."

Seeing the power of the goddess, seeing the poor life of the people in Picheng, and their better life, everyone believed that Janna's thoughts were really useful.

From then on, Janna's faith began to spread at the speed of a rocket.

"Although Janna's faith is spreading widely in Zaun, it is not deep yet."

"In order for the leader to truly gain a foothold in Zaun, I will never let Zaun get involved in the war prematurely, and let the people of Zaun suffer what they don't need to suffer."

Li Wei opposed Zaun's priority, but supported Zaun's temporary lead.

Because people naturally yearn for a better life, worship and yearn for the strong.

The people of Zaun in the past looked forward to the wealth of Piltover, but could not accept the big cake drawn by the leaders.

Outlanders, present and future, will also begin to take an interest in Janna's theories because of their longing for Zaun's affluence.

And if the Zaun people under the leader's rule are still a bunch of poor ghosts, then outsiders will probably be insensitive to Janna's thoughts after seeing it.

"I look forward to making Zaun a holy place of Janna's belief and a beacon of the civilized world." Levi said without hesitation.

Although Li Wei knows that the fuel for this lighthouse must be absorbed from laborers all over the world.

But I can't bear it. On the propaganda front, this lighthouse is bright enough and easy to use.

Only by turning Zaun into a model of getting rich in Runeterra and a city on a hill that people all over the world yearn for can move those pragmatists who only care about the curative effect and not the principle, and let them actively accept Janna's ideas.

Therefore, at least until the leader achieves the final victory in the whole Runeterra, the beacon of Zaun still has to stand out from the crowd.

"So I will not let the people of Zaun suffer. What's more, I will suffer for Demacia thousands of miles away."

"Do you understand, Lady Augatha?"

Augatha marveled at Levi's frankness, and his unabashed ambition for the world.

But even if Li Wei didn't say this, she could still read it from Goddess Janna's theory.It's actually not that scary.

After all, Demacia and Zaun were not ideological partners, but allies in interests.

"I see." Seeing Li Wei's firm attitude, Augsa could only give up her original idea.

In fact, Demacia didn't expect Zaun to agree to help block the gun so readily.

She threw out this embarrassing request for cooperation, but it was just to pay back the money on the spot in order to exaggerate the price.

It is inconvenient for Zaun to be openly hostile to Noxus right now, but .
"Privately, we still have a lot to do."

Mrs. Augesa was about to make another condition, and Li Wei thought of going with her.

It's just that Augusta wants to fool Zaun into selling his life, and Li Wei wants to persuade Demacia to bleed.

"It's inconvenient for Zaun to come forward to fight for Demacia." Li Wei smiled slightly: "But as an ally, we have a lot of opportunities to fight together-and this opportunity has already arrived."

"Opportunity?" Augatha wondered.

"Yes." Li Wei tapped lightly on the map, pointing to Ionia: "Actually, our leader has already semi-openly fought against Noxus on the battlefield of Ionia. "

"Mrs. Augesa, I don't know if the warriors from Demacia are willing to help the scene?"

 The second one is later, in fact, the second one was coded earlier, but yesterday’s chapter made me tangled up and changed for a long time, and I’m still not satisfied. I’ll change it at the end _(:з」∠)_I don’t like it Everyday, in fact, you don’t need to subscribe for the second update. After all, I’m not good at writing. I don’t have much confidence in writing this chapter.
