Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 1023 Rei Nishinomiya's Vision
The Xigong family has maintained close contacts with Longmen in recent years, but very few people know that the trade between Longmen and the Xigong family is only assigned by "above".

And this "above" comes from the interior of Yan.

In the courtyard of the cherry blossom forest.

Faced with Hikoshi Nishinomiya's stalking, Xia Feng has lost his patience.

"I'll say it again for the last time. I don't want to be involved in this matter. Don't drag me into the water."

Hikoshi Nishinomiya will never give up easily.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, if the Yingwu family really calls, do you know how many people will die?"

"How many?"

"There are about 10 standing troops in the cities of the Nishinomiya family, but in order to deal with the war, the Patriarch has forcibly recruited 40 troops, most of whom are civilians."

"Oh? It turned out to be like this."

"That's right, it's absolutely true."

"But what does that have to do with me?"

"This"

Xia Feng moved closer to Hikoshi Nishinomiya, lowering his voice.

"Don't think I don't know, these 40 people were not recruited temporarily. As early as a few months ago, the Nishinomiya family was forcibly recruiting troops because you planned to attack Dongzhou."

At this moment, Hikoshi Nishinomiya seemed to have been greatly wronged, and repeatedly denied it.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, you really misunderstood. Master Ling never planned to really attack Dongzhou from the beginning to the end. The gathering at the frontier was just to put pressure on the Yingwu family. Listen to me slowly about this matter."

Xia Feng's face was extremely gloomy.

"I don't want to hear you speak slowly, I limit you to explain in 1 minute."

"it is good."

Later, Hikoshi Nishinomiya explained the previous military behavior of the Nishinomiya family in extremely concise words.

In recent years, the Nishinomiya family has been conducting trade interactions with Longmen, and some products that are different from the local backward quality have gradually entered the Eastern Kingdom.

However, for the well-developed Longmen, Dongguo's market is still too small, so small that even some big chambers of commerce are unwilling to do business with it.

No way, the Nishinomiya family can only control the Xichuan area, not the entire Dongguo. Moreover, the Dongguo region lacks resources, and the only things that can be valued by Longmen are fish, gold, and grains of a slightly higher quality.

Under the condition of unequal resources, this is very disadvantageous, because this kind of trade will lose the right to speak and be squeezed to the extreme by others.

Faced with such disadvantages, finally, the young head of the Nishinomiya family came up with a solution.

By collecting information and understanding the world pattern, a hard currency resource circulating around the world broke into the sight of the Nishinomiya family.

This thing is the origin stone.

Like any country in the world except Kjerag, Dongguo will also be favored by natural disasters.

But because it is an island country with a small land area, the frequency of natural disasters is very small. Even the people who have seen it think it is a terrible natural disaster, or it is related to the punishment of the gods.

Natural disasters will destroy the land.

The land will breed origin stones.

The origin stone can make people suffer from ore disease.

However, in the eastern country where bandits are rampant and wars are rampant, the terrifying impression of ore disease is minimized.

To put it bluntly, in areas where there is no basic survival guarantee, no one will care too much about a chronic fatal disease.

Therefore, the Nishinomiya family only valued the middle point, [the land will breed Origin Stone].

Origin stones are in short supply in the world of Terra, especially in those world powers, where origin stones are prohibited from being traded. It is impossible for any country to sell the origin stones mined in its own country for money.

But the backward Eastern Kingdom doesn't have the origin stone technology, and the origin stone is in their hands, so it can't play its due value at all.

In this case, the best way is to sell it in exchange for capital for national development.

Hikoshi Nishinomiya didn't say much, but his explanation was very easy to understand.

To put it simply, Nishinomiya Ryo, the head of the Nishinomiya family, wants to learn how to mine Originium and introduce Originium processing technology, but the Xichuan area is too small, and it is not enough to spend a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Rei Nishinomiya wanted to negotiate with the Sakura Takeshi family to let them cede the natural disaster area left by Dongzhou, and agreed that the people of the Nishinomiya family would enter the Dongzhou area to mine source stones, and then everyone would prosper together.

It's just that what you say is one thing, and what others hear is another thing. After all, people's ideas cannot be generalized.

The patriarch of the Sakura Takeshi family, Sakuratake Yamao, has perfectly inherited the closed thinking of the older generation. He doesn't understand Originium technology, and he just thinks that the Nishinomiya family is looking for an excuse to enter Dongzhou.

In other words, the Nishinomiya family was used by Longmen and the Yan Kingdom behind it, or in other words, everyone except the Yingwu family was in the same group. The purpose was to slowly erode the Yingwu family's influence on Dongzhou through this method. rule.

Sakuratake Yamao, including the entire Sakuratake family, think so.

After listening to Hikoshi Nishinomiya's explanation, Xia Feng curled his lips and said nothing.

This reason is quite reasonable, and it also proves that Rei Nishinomiya is a bit farsighted and is still a reformer.

In this way, it seems normal for the Nishinomiya family to put pressure on the Sakura Takeshi family before.

It's like, if you don't dig a treasure buried in your own site, you won't allow others to dig it. Now someone else will help you dig it for you, and you'll get half the score if you dig it out, but you still don't agree.

You feel that others are harming you and planting landmines in your yard. This is persecution paranoia.

No wonder Rei Nishinomiya couldn't help but want to mobilize troops. In fact, this is a political method.

Under the pergola, Hikoshi Nishinomiya sighed again.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, that's how things are. Master Ling never thought of actually entering Dongzhou. After all the good words, the Yingwu family still doesn't let go. Putting pressure on the border is also a helpless move."

"Oh, I understand."

Xia Feng understood this matter, but he didn't comment on it, because it was just a one-sided statement.

To be honest, at first he didn't want to be involved in this matter at all.

Whether the Nishinomiya family fights the Sakurabu family, or the Sakurabu family fights the Nishinomiya family, whoever wins and who loses, whoever dies and who is injured, he doesn't care, and he is not interested in knowing.

But as this matter was getting closer and closer to him virtually, he couldn't help but start to wonder about another thing.

"Mr. Yanshi, I heard from the previous general that in order to prepare for the war, you have been trading with Longmen at the West Port?"

"Yes."

"What are you all trading?"

Hikoshi Nishinomiya did not hide anything, and replied truthfully.

"Basically, they are all needed in wartime, including medicines, food, clothing and boots, lighting and heating equipment and other materials."

"Oh? They were all transported from Longmen?"

"It was shipped from Longmen, but there are many sellers from the source, such as the big family in the interior of Yan, and the big pharmaceutical company from Sami."

Hearing this, Xia Feng became even more curious.

The strategic materials transported from Longmen, even if they are old and obsolete goods, must be ahead of the average level of Dongguo.

Medicines must be highly effective trauma medicines, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and bandages.

The food must be instant dry food, such as compressed biscuits or canned food.

As for other equipment, it must be hundreds of times stronger than that provided by the Eastern Kingdom itself.

It doesn't make sense.

Xia Feng frowned.

"Mr. Yanshi, this is wrong. The head of your Nishinomiya family is not an idiot. Before you dared to put pressure on the border, you must have measured the military capabilities of both sides."

Hikoshi Nishinomiya nodded.

"Yes, a few months ago, the overall strength of our Nishinomiya family completely overwhelmed the Sakura Takeshi family, and we had an important piece of information."

"What information?"

"Previously, a famous general recruited by the Ying Wu Family from abroad was assassinated in public at the Patriarch's birthday banquet. This gave us the confidence to exert pressure."

Xia Feng's eyebrows were twisted into twists, and he couldn't wait to continue asking.

"Since that's the case, what's going on now? It's only been a few months, why can't you suddenly be unable to fight? Your supplies are supported by Longmen, and the SEALs can't beat the militia?"
