"Buy?" The rich man looked at the rooster and said in surprise: "I usually say this, what happened to Mr. Puccinella today?"

"This is the most cost-effective method at present. After all, the matter has been spread. If we don't care, if we mention the propaganda department of the People's Federation tomorrow, the news of the foolish executives taking care of human lives will spread throughout the Teyvat continent. I don't care. It’s a loss of personal honor, but Zhi Dong can’t afford to lose this person.”

"Your Excellency's decision is very rational, so let me handle the part that involves interests.

"Otherwise, it's up to you to handle it, negotiate a good price, and don't let those non-nationals continue to make trouble!"

Pantalone shrugged, turned and left the town hall.

At this time, on the border of Mingguan Mountain, the victims were setting up tents.

There is no doubt that these are supplies provided by the Alliance, supplies provided for humanitarian considerations, as well as a large amount of food, bedding, and heating equipment.

Taking into account the tents and other things, there is definitely no way to compete directly with the local violent wind and snow, so the camps for the victims are basically arranged along the other side of the mountain, using the entire mountain to face the cold wind and protect the tents in the camp behind. Blown away.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious! Sure enough, the canned food from the Alliance is the most delicious."

"You foodie, eat slowly, there is no shortage of food now."

"Who knows, what if the supplies run out again one day, I will die as a starved person."

"You guy."

The captain sighed. In fact, his eating appearance was not much better. After all, he had been hungry and full for a week. Now that he saw the steaming, carefully cooked food, it was his greatest restraint not to hug the pot and lick it. .

Seeing the soldiers from Zhidong running over to eat with the victims, the Red Turban Army couldn't laugh or cry.

"How is it? Can food consumption keep up?"

"Don't worry, brigade commander, we have enough food, and new supplies are being transported from the rear all the time. Our food reserves are very safe."

"That's good."

Yula nodded and looked at the camp for the victims that had stabilized.

This was not the first time she had seen victims of the disaster, but the most impressive sight was the scene she saw at the source of clear water when she and Rosalia left Mondstadt because they were disappointed with the Knights of the West Wind.

We are also victims of the disaster, but His Majesty the Red King has opened up a new hope in a wilderness. The scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes. Anyway, now we have sufficient supplies and everyone is working together. The advantage is mine!

It is indeed my advantage. In order to ensure sufficient supplies in the Mingguan Mountains, the Red Turban Army's aerostats have joined in the work of transporting supplies. They are used in combination with railways and roads. There are no abyss or wild monsters behind to harass the local area. There will soon be so many resources that a new warehouse will be built.

But now we are relieving victims, the more food the better, the more the better.

But as a train loaded with construction materials pulled into the station, things started to go wrong.

Yes, Iles is planning to repeat the same trick and build a Friendship City in the south of Solstice.

Chapter 284: So that you can’t refuse me

(Third update! Thank you for your support. Where are your votes and clips? Comments are also available)

Anyone who has fought against Iles is well aware of his dangers, and he is particularly good at finding opportunities to exploit them.

For example, during the US-Mexican War, he helped Mexico violently defeat the US military. For example, during the Soviet-Finnish War, he tied up Finland and violently defeated the Soviet Union. For example, during the Carthage War, he helped Carthage violently defeat Rome...

No, just wait a minute. You are just helping a counterattack that will lose. You are mainly focusing on rebellion, right?

Not entirely. The reason why the Soviet army lost 200 million troops in Finland was to tell Stalin about the harmfulness of paternalism (you are sure you didn’t turn Finland into a mortal enemy of the Soviet Union), and to help Mexico win was to let the American people understand the value of neutrality ( As a result, more than 100 million troops were lost, and Washington was burned by Mexico.

The United States disintegrated directly) and helped Carthage beat Rome... Carthage and Rome were also Rome, and Iles was crowned Roman emperor as Carthage emperor on the spot.

Anyway, as long as you give Ilse a flaw, he will immediately let you know the joy of being zero.

When the rich people set off for Tirenlian, the alliance had already begun to provide materials to the victims of Zhidong, and with the arrival of a large amount of engineering construction materials, preliminary construction began in Zhidong.

"Sir, do we want to take care of it?"

"Tell the victims that they cannot live in houses, but in tents, otherwise they will be beaten to death on the spot."

"But here...

"Let the big shots above have a headache. Our job is to guard the national border. The Red Turban Army has not crossed the border. The locals are rebuilding their homes without hindering us. Everything is business as usual."

"Yes!"

In fact, the soldiers in the winter do not want to be too harsh on the people of their country. Except for the US military's overseas thieves who can safely let themselves go, the army with normal order has the minimum sense of shame and compassion, so as long as the above Without saying anything, the Zhidong officers below basically turned a blind eye.

With the above attitude, the soldiers below have no other ideas. Now their supplies are all canned by the Alliance. Before the country's supplies return to normal, they are very willing to invest in this construction, and they can also make extra money. of.

That's right, the Red Scarf Army hired local Zhidong soldiers to work for them, and even guest-starred in the production and construction corps. In order to show their sincerity, wages were paid daily to prevent Zhidong brothers from suffering a loss.

Sincerity for sincerity, normal people will not reject such a good thing. Besides, the construction here is prosperous, and they will be comfortable stationed here in the future. They will get money for doing good deeds, and their conscience and wallet will not be compromised. I must be this hero. Anyone who stops me is a sinner of the people!

There were even grassroots officers who took their own companies to contract work. The local garrison in Zhihuang became migrant workers in just a few days, and began to sweat like rain to build a new city under the command of the foreman.

Ils didn't even change its name, it was just called Friendship City. At most, the prefix "Friendship City" on the border between Solstice Kingdom and Teyvat People's Alliance was added in front of it, and the abbreviation was "Friendship City".

With money, work, bread, shelter, and faith, this friendship quickly became forged.

In this process, the Red Scarf Army will definitely have an impact on the soldiers of Zhidong, and some dangerous ideological materials that are strictly controlled by Zhidong on weekdays have penetrated silently.

You can manage books, but you can't even manage everything the soldiers talk to each other. You can't manage it either.

When the most efficient military organization on the Zhidong side, the Fools, came to the area, the scene here made them seriously suspect that there was something wrong with their eyes.

Disaster victims? I didn’t see them. I only saw a huge construction site under construction, with workers everywhere and vendors coming and going. If you say this is a newly built city, it is more reliable than saying that there are a group of disaster victims here.

"The situation is not right, please report it to the executive officer immediately!"

The education level of the soldiers of Foolish Man is very high, so the political sensitivity is above the passing line. For them, the current scene does not matter anything else, it is just the attitude of the local people towards their own country and the attitude towards the alliance next door. It's very debatable, maybe it's a hidden time bomb.

But they don't have any good ideas. They can't just blow up the whole place, or prevent the victims from building the city.

The alliance gave them the opportunity to start a new life, but the fools on the back ruined it all. All fools knew what would happen next. Moreover, opposite here is the Red Turban Army's fortress, and cannons are just a few kilometers away. Not to mention the few soldiers and captains of the Fools, they must be honest if they are replaced by executive officers.

He said he meant no harm.

What if there is malice?

The 280-degree pipes on the top of the mountain opposite are staring at you. Could you please suppress your evil intentions? Otherwise, our shells cannot be recovered or turned when they are fired, dear.

But their speed was still too slow, and the information was not delivered to the rich man until he saw Iles.

The rich man has a smile on his face, but his heart is full of shit.

You sent the information over after boiling the raw rice into popcorn, and you still thought of a solution. I am now thinking of a damn solution. Even if I think about it, it will take time to implement it. Now I am sitting across from Iles. Do you think I Can I fool him, or is he willing to be fooled by me? This card is no longer useful, you know it’s over!

Just when the rich man's heart was gradually cracking, Iles took the initiative to mention the matter.

"I think there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the Alliance and Zhidong. We can respect each other, develop together, seek common ground while shelving differences, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. This Friendship City is a good starting point. What do you think?"

"The friendship of the alliance really makes us unprepared."

"If Zhidong feels it's not suitable, then the management of the city can be left to you. We are just investing."

The words here are already very flattering, but the rich know very well that power cannot be given by others just by talking. Whether it can be grasped depends on the specific operation. As far as the performance of the Zhidong government in the disaster relief process is concerned, Those victims who were forced to go all the way south to survive have lost their trust in their own governments.

At the bottom, it may even turn directly into hatred. After the alliance extends a helping hand, they trust the alliance far more than they trust their own government.

To put it bluntly, this is the inevitable result of different goals. Yils saves people, while Zhidong does things. In contrast, the Alliance is obviously more humane. This is what the people want most. After all, human hearts are made of flesh. This is what the government is most lacking in the winter, and there is no possibility of replenishing it in a short time.

Then there are only two choices, accept it or not accept it.

It can also be more extreme and force the locals to be relocated and refuse to recognize the Friendship City.

But there is no need for things to go to that level. Now the Mao Dun on both sides is not called Mao Dun at all. It is at best a small friction between children. But if it ends up being an adult, it will be like picking your eyes while joking - it is too much.

Face is given to each other. If you don't give face to each other in this kind of thing, it basically acquiesces that Zhidong and the alliance are in a hostile relationship. If they break up like this, what awaits Zhidong next will definitely not be good news.

Ils is a ruthless person who pioneered all the way from Sumeru to Inazuma. He has killed countless wealthy people along the way, and he is full of hatred for human-like behavior. If Zhi Dong is registered with him, I'm afraid it won't be possible. The next page of the Death Note is the names of the entire family of Fools, starting from three clans and reaching no upper limit.

After all, isn't it just that I can't afford to offend the alliance? It's useless.

Yes, that's it. National dignity is based on its own strength, and strength is the basis for respect. If you don't even have this most basic respect, then no matter what your country does or says, it will be equivalent to farts.

"His Majesty has already mentioned this. Of course we at Zhidong have no reason not to accept it. We hope that the friendship between Zhidong and the alliance will last forever."

"Hahaha, don't be nervous. Our alliance will not treat our friends badly. You can take a look at these cooperations first."

The rich man opened the list handed over by Ilse, and after just turning a page, he knew that neither he nor Zhi Dong had any reason to refuse, because the alliance gave too much and he could not control it. Myself.

"This is indeed a sincere cooperation, and Zhidong is very willing to accept this friendship!"

Chapter 285: Zhi Dong has taken the shape of an alliance

(Fourth update! How about it! I’m a little tired. Let’s take a rest. It’s time to give everyone the rewards.

The world of adults is very complex, but it can also be very simple. For example, problems that can be solved with money are very simple problems.

The premise is that you have to have money, otherwise there will be problems everywhere

Iles is definitely a master who is not short of money. The entire Tirenlian is not short of money, but if the money is not circulated, it is precious metals stored in the warehouse. Therefore, a sound modern government must not only know how to make money, but also know how to make money. How to spend money, good steel is used on the blade, and the fun is to use money to insult the enemy.

The American imperialists think it's great, but they prefer to convert money into ammunition and then throw it at them.

Here I have to praise the national character of the little devils. Now we are really too delicate. We complain about this and that when the weather is only 10,000 degrees Celsius, and we also need high temperature subsidies. Look at the little devils. Back then, they were carrying a maximum of [-]+ The Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were commended by name without saying a word despite the high temperature. They showed great fighting spirit.

Compared with the warm-hearted Japan, the situation here in the winter is extremely cold. It is generally difficult to get rich in places that are too cold, because food cannot grow and the greenhouses are frozen to crack, so the winter is really In poverty, especially in the wilderness outside the city, a group of people will die at the slightest disturbance. If the number of people freezing to death in the winter is less than [-], the executive Rooster Pucilla will have to doubt his subordinates. The report was calculated incorrectly.

People living in this bitter cold land have a strange obsession with food and clothing. For example, Russian candies are so sweet that they are so sweet that they can buy your throat. This is the desire of people in high latitudes for sugar and nutrition. In that environment, high blood sugar can cause On the contrary, it will help you survive better. However, living in high latitudes without the assistance of modern facilities is not easy to achieve high blood sugar. Malnutrition is a high probability event.

Because of this, Zhiwin lacks everything except wood and ore. Why did the Fools have a plan to indirectly control Xumi when they took action against Fontaine? It was entirely because of their longing for warm land in their bones, as deep in their souls. The curse is irresistible.

But the most painful thing in the world is not getting what you ask for. After Xumi enters the era of the Red King, this is not a problem of not getting it, it is a problem that even a glance to the south may lead to being blown away.

Since there is no way to get it, then cooperate well.

In the international trade with the alliance, Zhidong's enthusiasm is the highest (there is a shortage of everything, there is no way), and the demand for food and cold-proof materials remains high. As a group of Zhidong merchants became rich first through international trade, Their demands for quality of life are also rising.

The stove must be imported from the Alliance, the RV must be imported from the Alliance, and the fruit must be eaten from the Alliance. Even the villa where one lives must be built with cold-resistant cement imported from the Alliance, and the rebar is naturally imported from the Alliance.

If Russia's demand for neighbors is still relatively concentrated in light industry, then Zhidong has a comprehensive demand for alliances from light to severe. Especially after those Zhidong businessmen who became rich through international trade began to seek political agents, they strengthened alliances with The call for cooperation is getting louder and louder, from the private sector to the top.

Winter people can refuse the sugar-coated bullets from the Alliance, but they cannot refuse the canned fruit from the Alliance.

Especially the various tropical fruits that are a specialty of Xumi, they are delicious and fresh, and have a lot of sugar. They are a must-have gift for visiting relatives and friends in the winter. Whether you are entertaining guests or giving them as gifts, they are very valuable. It’s quite as cool as bringing a fruit basket to the doctor in the 90s. After experiencing such sweet and good days, how can people in the winter go back to the past?

Moreover, Iers deliberately dumped a large amount of agricultural and sideline products to Zhidong, directly lowering the price of canned fruits to a level that ordinary Zhidong people could buy. This blue ocean cannot be captured by Zhidong no matter what.

In the winter, you can use greenhouses to cultivate fruits and grains with a yield exceeding Sumeru. My dear, the Seven Consuls of your country are the queens of the ice attribute, not the grass-type Nasida. Let alone food, moss cannot grow under freezing conditions.

In fact, the staple food in winter has always been various versions of potatoes. With the wisdom of the local people, they cultivated large potatoes, small potatoes, gray potatoes, purple potatoes according to different low temperature environments... Sorry, the last one is actually Sweet potatoes are basically rhizomes. It’s not that they don’t want to eat better ones, they really don’t have to eat them.

In this environment, all kinds of cans filled with spices from the Alliance swarmed in. The Zhidong people could not withstand it. Their cadres could not withstand this test and fell in minutes.

Today's winter food has been completely canned. For example, a hot pot called "Xumi Hot Pot" is made by opening several cans from Xumi and throwing them into a pot with hot pot base ingredients to stew. It is very delicious. (That’s what the locals say).

By the way, the hot pot is produced in Liyue, and the base material is also produced in Liyue. The fruits in the canned fruit are most likely canned directly on site in Mondstadt and shipped to winter (nearby purchase principle). Therefore, in a family that eats Sumi Hotpot, it is very likely that except for tables and chairs, the rest are alliance products.

If he is the kind of Zhidong merchant who made his fortune doing business with the Alliance, then the seats may have been imported from Xumiru. There is no other meaning, they just feel authentic. After all, His Majesty the Red King made his fortune in Xumiru.

In a sense, Ils has established a relatively specific belief among the Solstice people.

The locals may not know His Majesty the Red King, but the cans they have eaten will tell them where these delicacies come from.

Speaking of which, in recent years, there has been a frenzied craze in Zhidong for learning New Chinese (the alliance unified language and writing system, as mentioned before). Basically, all Zhidong people who engage in international trade speak a Being fluent in New Chinese, and even speaking Mandarin that is more standard than those of alliance officials, is also a miracle.

“This is the peak of business prosperity.

The rich man stood on the Sumeru Light Tower in New Sumeru City (formerly Kavanyi). This tower is the landmark building here, with a height of 370 meters. It is completely made of steel. From here, you can overlook the entire city. city ​​and enjoy the beautiful night view.

Frankly speaking, the rich are very envious, but at the same time they are also full of fighting spirit.

Morax is nothing, it's just a Mora producer. A real businessman must reach such a height to be considered qualified.

It’s interesting to say that Iles is not a businessman, but he knows a lot about business. When communicating with him, the rich feel that they have benefited a lot, or that the highest level of business is politics, and only politicians can realize their ideals. .

However, there is also a problem here, that is, the separation of politics and business. Even if some places require the government to invest efforts in management, the scope of its reach must be clearly defined, and Iers strictly prohibits the emergence of revolving doors, and has formulated a set of laws and regulations, each of which You are stuck in the most uncomfortable position for some people. If you dare to break through the restricted area under such circumstances, then your Nine Clans are really wholesale.

After admiring the prosperity of Sumeru, the rich man returned to Zhihuang, and on the third day after his departure, Ilse set off for Fontaine on a state visit.

The company is busy

After receiving the production task, I started to get busy. Updates may be unstable or interrupted in the recent period. I would like to tell you in advance that people are on the front line and cannot help themselves.
