LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 367 Katerina's "Big Discovery"

In order to win the target's favor, Katerina had to agree.

"Great." Galen smiled expectantly.He couldn't wait to say: "Then I will arrange for you to go to Zaun tomorrow."

"Huh?" Katerina was slightly taken aback.

She was stunned for a while: "Zuan?"

Have to go to Zaun for the last class?

"No, it's not just for class." Galen explained: "The main reason is, Miss Kanna, according to the regulations of the coalition, you were going to Zaun."

Because Wuji Village is too close to the front line, it may be affected by the flames of war at any time. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of non-combatants, prisoners of war and refugees need to be transferred to Zaun, the rear of the leader, through the Hexgate after a short repair. .

Katerina, LeBlanc, and Tyrone are no exception.

"This..." Katerina was embarrassed for a while.

Zaan is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from here.If she went to Zaun, how could she come back to seduce Garen?
"Lord Galen." She could only bite the bullet and say, "Can we not go? I'm not afraid of danger, I just want to be closer to you."

"Don't worry." Galen explained with a smile: "Zuan is not far from here at all."

If you take a boat, it will take nearly 2 months to go back and forth from Zaun to Ionia.but.
"Did you see that?" Galen pointed out the window, the three giant hexa-flying gate arrays standing among the mountains and forests, emitting dazzling magical light all the time in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"That is the leader's ultra-long-range hex-flying gate. It can directly connect Zaun and Wuji Village across space, making the two places thousands of miles apart instantly accessible."

"Our logistics materials are all sent from Zaun to Ionia through it, and the wounded, prisoners of war, and logistics personnel can also use it to return to Zaun in an instant."

"Because of the frequent demand for personnel and materials, the Hex teleportation flight from Wuji Village to Zaan is now every 10 minutes."

The leader almost used the Hex-Flying Gate as an "intercontinental bus", completely connecting Wuji Village and Zaan, which are thousands of miles apart.

That's why Galen said that these two places are not far at all.

After all, there is a bus every 10 minutes for this Hexair Gate. Taking the "intercontinental bus" from Zaan to Wuji Village may even be more convenient and quicker than driving from Zaan to Picheng.

Wuji Village has almost become a city in Zaan.

In order to relieve the pressure of the war and ease the tension of the frontline soldiers, the Leaders Association even extravagantly allowed them to return to Zaun in batches for a rest.

Soldiers often drink tea and watch movies in Zaan in the first week, play drones in Wuji Village in the second week, play football in Zaan for a sports meeting in the third week, and continue to return to Wuji Village in the fourth week to throw drones and bomb from the air Noxian devil
This battle was fought more pleasantly than a leisure vacation.

"So even if you go to Zaan, I can visit you at any time, Miss Kanna." Galen said sincerely, "I'll be on vacation in a few days, and we can also go shopping in Zaan together. visit."

Galen expressed his affection veiledly, but Katarina had no time to pay attention.

She was patronizingly shocked.

In any case, she never imagined that when the empire's [-] troops were guarding the mountain bitterly, wiping their tears and writing suicide notes to their families thousands of miles away, the leader on the mountain could live such a luxurious life.

Are you still on vacation, on vacation, going home to visit relatives, and even asking girls to go shopping in Zaan?Is this still a war?

"I also heard about the Hexfly Gate from the merchant in the city."

As an island province rich in maritime merchants, Balua has relatively closer trade exchanges with the mainland of Valoran than other regions in Ionia.So even a "country girl" like her can reasonably come into contact with a lot of news from overseas.

So, Katerina pretended to be curious and asked calmly: "The merchant master said that the hex-flying gate in Piltover is almost made of gold, and it costs a lot of money to activate it once."

But the leader uses this thing as a bus, and regards it as the main logistics transportation force of a large army.

"General Galen, why is the leader so rich?"

"What?" Galen thought for a while, but couldn't explain it.

There are several reasons for this.

On the one hand, Wuji Village was heavily besieged by the enemy's [-] troops, so this method could only be used to transport supplies;
On the one hand, the leader has mastered the entire industry chain of Hexair from energy production to application, and the cost is not as high as imagined.

Of course, the most important things are:

"Our leader is indeed rich." Miss Lacus beside her couldn't help but proudly said.

And her pride is not based on the wealth of the leader, but on her contempt for the enemy.

"We are rich, but most of the money is given by the Noxus." She smiled triumphantly.

"Given by the Noxus?" Katerina's heart skipped a beat.

The empire is now fighting with the leaders in Ionia, and it is almost a full-scale war. How can they send money to the leaders?

Could it be that she accidentally uncovered a major corruption case involving enemies within the empire?

"What does this mean?" Katerina asked subconsciously.

But LeBlanc secretly gave her a look, as if signaling her not to mind her own business.

But by now it was too late.

Lux has already opened up the chatterbox and revealed to her:

"Noxus is not giving money to leaders in vain, but they are still doing business with Zaun overtly and covertly."

"Even if we killed the Noxus general Urgot two months ago and fought with them in Balua, in the past two months, the trade volume between Noxus and Zaun It’s still going up.”

"The business of Noxus and Zaun has never been broken, and their money is naturally like flowing water, flowing continuously into the pockets of leaders, turning into explosives and drones, and turning into oceans. Gemstones that turned into shells that fell on the heads of Noxus soldiers, like shells that cost nothing."

The mocking smile on the corner of Lux's mouth made Katerina realize something instantly.

Yes!Why doesn't Noxus blockade Zaun from trade sanctions?
Zaun's largest trading partner is Noxus, and its biggest source of income is foreign trade with Noxus.

Although the leaders are now also looking for trade cooperation with other countries such as Demacia, trying to reduce their economic dependence on the Noxus Empire.

However, it is difficult for the ship to turn around. The adjustment of this scale of trade structure cannot be adjusted in a day or two.

At this moment, although the leader has temporarily solved the most terrible food security problem through cooperation with Demacia.

But Zaun still relies heavily on the market and raw materials provided by the Noxus Empire. At least six out of ten of their money is earned from Noxus.

And the blue bird drones that blew up Katerina's father, and it was Zaun who spent the money he earned from Noxus and used the raw materials bought from Noxus to manufacture and produce them. transported.

"Why are the Noxians so stupid?" Katarina couldn't understand.

Although Zaun's economy is not small, it is not enough when compared with the behemoth of Noxus.

The Noxus Empire is fully capable of completely cutting off trade with Zaun and completely blocking Zaun.

For Noxus, who is huge in size and has a high blood pressure, doing so is at best a labor pain.

At most, nobles and lords buy less yachts, wealthy businessmen buy less cars, middle-class citizens buy less radios, landlords and peasants buy less chemical fertilizers, and starve to death some worthless serfs in the coming year.

The empire can fully afford this price.

But for Zu'an, it can be said to be a disaster.

Without the raw materials and market orders provided by Noxus, most of Zaun's factories would quickly fall into bankruptcy and shutdown in a short period of time.At least 10 people will lose their jobs because of this, and the storm of bankruptcy and unemployment will quickly drain the funds of the leader, making the leader no longer able to support a costly war.

Although this is done, it will certainly not defeat the Association of Leaders who are united by faith.

But it can only make the leaders not so arrogant and extravagant, so extravagant that they can use the drones brought by the Hex Flying Gate to play carpet bombing, and the [-] troops of the empire can't even attack a mountain.

So, here comes the question:
Since the trade blockade has so many benefits, and Noxus is capable of realizing it, why doesn't the empire do it?

"Well." Lux smiled: "According to Noxus' official statement, this is because Zaun and Noxus have not officially started a war, so the empire should not sanction Zaun."

"." Katerina was speechless.

Indeed, in theory, it is the leader of Ionia, not the leader of Zaun, who is now at war with the Noxus Empire.

And the leader has always used this excuse to maintain an ambiguous peace with Swain in Piltover.

But unless your eyesight is worse than Li Qing's, you can understand it personally: this is just an excuse that Zaun doesn't want to start a full-scale war with Noxus, and doesn't want to cut off the trade between the two countries.

But this Zaun people's excuse, why did the gentlemen of Noxus use it?
Zaun's hexa-gates are clearly visible here.Do you believe them when they say they didn't take part in the war?

"Of course they have to believe it." Lux smiled and said, "Because every penny Zaun earns from Noxus has a share from the nobles of the empire."

More than just one copy.

As far as the business environment of Noxus is concerned, the profit sharing is at least [-]-[-].

7% of it belongs to the noble master, and the most earned by Zaun is only 3%.

And just a small part of this 3% profit is enough for Zaun to use the Hexgate as an intercontinental bus, transporting hundreds of suicide drones regardless of cost, blowing up Noxus The [-] army was trapped for ten months and could not advance an inch.

"Miss Kanna, do you understand now?" Lux smiled, and said something that refreshed Katarina's worldview: "The Noxus Empire does have the ability to block Zaun."

"But the nobles of Noxus are unable to block themselves."

　The second one will be much later.
