Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 577 There is no free trade

Imrik looked at the middle-aged man. This plan was really good. It completely turned Kislev into a worker attached to the empire, not only as a human wall to help resist Chaos, but also as a human wall to help resist Chaos. Create a hidden colony.

Although countries can only talk about interests, Mao Zi has caused a lot of trouble for the empire, so it is really a bit unethical to do this.

The middle-aged man was in a good state of mind, and he was not moved by Raskol's anger. He always felt that the Patriotic Army signed a similar agreement with Caledor, and there was no reason why the Empire could not.

But he may not have thought that Imrik didn't care about Kislev's pitiful financial gains at all, he only wanted the population.

"Agreements are negotiated slowly. If the general thinks there is something wrong with this agreement, we can continue to negotiate until both parties get a satisfactory result." He turned his eyes to Imric, bowed his head and said, "Now that Prince Dragon is here, this kind of shameless thing will naturally come to an end. I hope the war goes well for you generals, so I will take my leave first."

After he walked out, Kristeff's face was livid and he muttered and cursed, "Damn Nords, I knew they were colluding with the Westerland. They don't care about anything and only think about money. What a disgrace to the North.”

Raskol calmed down. In the short term, this agreement may be beneficial, but once the planting and industry are monopolized by businessmen, the kingdom will be one step closer to crisis.

"Prince, I'm sorry for being rude in front of you, but what this imperial man did made it difficult for me to control my emotions. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, people always have emotional moments. You can see through the thoughts behind it at a glance. I am also happy for you. It seems that the two years of study have put in a lot of effort."

Raskol shook his head and didn't want to lament the past two years. So what if it was a strategy. Even if he returned to Kislev two years ago, it would be difficult to form an effective resistance. It was better to come back when he was ready.

He signaled his men to carry away the collapsed wooden table and came to the map on the hanging board, intending to start analyzing the current situation.

But Imrik had stopped him first, "You have a special mission, go find Mazov, and he will tell you what to do next."

Raskolton was content where he was. With his current status, he didn't have to obey the commanding words at all, but he still accepted it.

"I understand. If you need information, Alexandre will answer it for you."

"Yes." Imrik nodded lightly. In fact, Masnow had already explained the current situation and had a plan in mind. He came to the headquarters just for a routine visit.

After Raskol left, the Dragon Prince signaled Alexandremon next to him to leave and wanted to talk to the Imperials alone.

Mrs. Kisley from the headquarters all left. As for whether they think they have reached some secret agreement with the empire, that is their business. Do they have to explain everything.

Seeing this posture, Kristoff knew that Imric wanted to talk to him, and signaled several accompanying inner ring knights to leave.

Elvis was also quite sensible and prepared to leave this place of right and wrong, but he was left behind by Imric.

The brat brought a chair for the prince and stood quietly behind him, just like he used to do when he was a herald.

"Tell me, what do you want? I don't believe that the Nord is really under the command of the Westland. It is impossible for the control of the Ulric Church to not even know the thoughts of a businessman. What you are doing I'm disappointed."

Kristoff narrowed his eyes. He was not worried about being seen through the plan, but the power possessed by the Dragon Prince was too great. The Elector defined him as a substitute for the dwarves. When the Mountain Kingdom was too busy to take care of itself, as a fairly decent person Reliable allies exist.

And the church does not think that Caledon, who is too far away from the old world, has substantial influence. As an emergency ally, he can find help when Chaos invades again.

"All the territories of the empire have their own ideas. The Church of Ulric guarantees the purity of the people and resists chaos. As for the actions of the elector, we will not pay attention."

"Really?" Imrik pretended to be confused and touched the orange-yellow gemstone ring on his left hand. He had traveled thousands of miles to help humans solve their problems.

Although the main purpose is to eradicate the hidden dangers of his wife and daughter, it is time for the Empire to sound some alarm bells if it dares to play tricks on this kind of matter.

"Of course, the church will not participate in the secular world except for voting when electing the emperor."

"I believe you. After all, you have fought with me."

Before Kristoff could react, Imric continued in Imperial dialect, "Elvis, you have been in the Empire for a while, what do you think the northerners need most?" The smart Elvis He quickly realized that he was planning to put pressure on the Ulric Church. He didn't even need to think, he just opened his mouth and said,
"Some reliable self-defense weapons, a lot of warm clothes, and an adequate supply of food and medicine."

"Can Caledon provide the imperial people with these kind things?"

Elvis glanced at Christopher, who seemed to be trying to put pressure, and felt amused in his heart. He didn't really think that the giant horned viper was under the control of the Ulrich Church, and the prince could go to Naga with just a few words. Why should Ross be a mouse in this dark and gloomy place when he is fighting with Dulu?

"I think it only takes the military factory three days to produce a qualified crossbow production line. The quality is definitely better than the empire's and is enough to meet the self-defense needs of civilians.

The land around the Obsidian Peaks has been transformed to grow cotton and wheat. The medical plants in Lustria are of far better quality than those in the old world. As long as a plantation is developed, even civilians can enjoy precious medicines from the new world. "

A smile appeared on the young man's face. This was due to his pride in the strength of his motherland. He looked at the White Wolf Grand Instructor whose face became more and more embarrassed.

“And our latest model of voyage ship has a cargo capacity of [-] tons. Even if there will be some losses when sent from the New World to the Empire, I believe it can still meet the needs of the north.

Speaking of which, my family also has a trade fleet. If the prince finds it troublesome, I know several merchant lords in the Westland who can send some kindness to humans on your behalf. They will definitely thank the prince for his generosity. "

He turned around and gave the sensible brat a look of praise. Sure enough, he grew up faster when he walked around more. At his age, he was thinking about dragons and lances, so how could he think about hidden pressure.

"Of course, this is a good deed. We have always ignored the needs of civilians in the past and focused on the rare human nobles. Since the empire adheres to the principle of free trade, I believe we will not mind Caledo's participation in the people's livelihood industry."

Damn, this guy is a real jerk.Christoph gritted his teeth and cursed secretly in his mind. As long as he used elf things, he would not think of using rags made in small human workshops.

Once the market is dumped at low prices, and the key weapons, clothing, food, and medicines are dumped, the economic lifeline of the north will be completely controlled. The merchants of Marienburg will definitely not mind doing their part to enrich their pockets.

Imrik sat firmly in his position, not caring about the thoughts of the White Wolf Master.

In the past, I deliberately suppressed domestic commercialism. Many places were not developed and kept within a controllable range.

In this world, money cannot solve everything.

But it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the mining of the Obsidian Peak Mine is released, the mining magic machines shared by Tigris are mass-produced, and a group of slaves are obtained from Arabi for ore smelting and preliminary forging, less than 30 Years later, the empire's metal processing industry will be monopolized.

As small as an iron nail, as large as an armored version for a tank, they are all made from Caledo Factory.

Economic control is much easier than political and military control. However, in the face of a powerful enemy, all races should contribute. However, even under the leadership of the Lord of ZTE, the empire is still playing it safe, which is unavoidable. Confuse.

They only thought about the benefits they could get by doing this, but they did not consider that if Kislev really became a vassal, the chaotic political environment of the empire would only make the situation more complicated when Chaos invaded.

Whether the person who proposed this plan should provide more support, or whether Oster and Ostermark, who have been friends with him for generations, should provide strong assistance, this issue can be deadlocked in the Electoral Council for a long time.

When Imrik and Elvis explained that the quality of the mine was better, Kristoff still chose to compromise.

He didn't dare to bet that if the business was deliberately closed, the empire's economic situation would usher in a decline again, but if the influx of Caledon's goods was rejected, this would be completely contrary to the agreement signed ten years ago.

Imrik cut off diplomatic relations directly in a fit of anger, and all forces in the south will put pressure on the north. Even Magnus will question whether the church's decision is correct.

"Faith, we need warriors who believe in Ulric." Kristoff spat out these shameful words word by word. Even he would feel embarrassed by it.

Imrik shook his head and sighed, expressing his disapproval of this decision.

"As expected, when you reach this level, these are the only things you want. I really don't know if Yurik knows this decision and remains optimistic like you." (End of Chapter)
