Chapter 655 Archbishop Fay (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"These are overlord clauses! We cannot accept them!"

"You don't have the sincerity to talk at all!"

There was chaos in the conference hall, representatives from various countries were arguing, even Smith and the second prince joined the camp of confrontation, and the translator sat on the side shivering, even though they were professionally qualified, they couldn't keep up. The speech rate of the representative of the country.

Vulgar, really vulgar!

Ma Wei, who was still unable to speak, asked the nun for a cup of hot tea, and shook his head secretly while drinking.

What can he say?

He has read all the treaties submitted by the four countries. To be honest, everyone is equally divided and wants to find ways to benefit themselves. The Roman Republic is the most restrained. They feel that they have gone too far, but they never thought that the other kingdoms Even worse than them!

The emotions of the representatives of the Roman Republic affected other people. No one wanted to listen to others scolding themselves all the time.

The Kingdom of Windsor, the Republic of Rome, the Kingdom of Frederick, and the First Bonaparte Empire had accumulated conflicts for many years, and they were separated from each other. Now they are arguing, and all kinds of dirty words are coming out of their mouths without any jerk.

Ma Wei believes that the reason why everyone is still at the stage of swearing at mothers and did not further develop into a diplomatic incident is purely because of language barriers, and they can't understand what other people are swearing. Once they understand, they should raise their fists up.

"Everyone! Calm down, everyone! Please listen to me first!"

Under the constant request of Archbishop Fay, the room finally fell silent. The few people who were spitting all over the place just sat down and took a big gulp of tea cups, feeling like they were ready to go on to the second round.

"Please don't forget what is the purpose of our gathering here!" Archbishop Fay said loudly: "If cooperation can be reached from the beginning, why do you have to come to Paris so far away? To formulate new rules for potions That’s what we have to do, don’t chase after the end!”

Next, the talks finally got on the right track. Everyone began to summarize the content of the terms and propose a new treaty, which can only be passed with the consent of all four countries.

At noon, the morning meeting was over, and there was a two-hour break. The God of Wisdom arranged an exquisite lunch and room. After lunch, everyone can go back to the room to rest, or go out, as long as they arrive before 2 p.m. Just go back to the church.

During lunch, Ma Wei, who felt that the time was ripe, took the opportunity to present his ideas about the alliance of giants to Archbishop Brandon and the second prince. After listening, Archbishop Brandon said: "Let all the powerful countries unite? This idea It’s really good, but I’m afraid it won’t work.”

"I also don't think it will work." The second prince said: "The Kingdom of Windsor is now the most powerful country in the world. There is no reason to compromise its identity and be an alliance with weak countries such as the Kingdom of Frederick and the Roman Republic. It is better to let them Join the alliance headed by the Kingdom of Windsor!"

"The Frederick Kingdom and the Roman Republic are not weak at all." Ma Wei explained: "It seems that the Frederick Kingdom and the Roman Republic have taken advantage of the alliance of giants, but in fact, Windsor, which has many overseas colonies The kingdom can fully rely on its own advantages to achieve better development, can't it?"

It is not uncommon to form alliances between countries. The Frederick Kingdom concluded an alliance with the Romanov Kingdom in the early years to jointly resist foreign enemies. The First Bonaparte Empire also had many small countries as vassals, and also reached cooperation with the Roman Republic.

Alliances belong to alliances. No country can reach an unbreakable agreement like brothers. As long as the interests are sufficient, it is more common to tear up the alliance and turn against each other. Ma Wei also knows that it is impossible for the apocalypse gods who have not been threatened too much to unite Come to think of it, only one day when they are surpassed by others and their strength is not as good as before, will they choose to form an alliance and unite wholeheartedly.

"I understand what Nicholas means." Archbishop Brandon took a sip of his red wine and said, "He wants us to cooperate with other countries on the potion issue and form a so-called alliance of giants."

The second prince was puzzled and said, "Aren't we coming to Paris to talk about cooperation in potions?"

"It's different. Nicholas is talking about in-depth cooperation. It's not a simple superficial treaty like before. It's a real alliance that requires all kingdoms to fully participate!"

The second prince said disapprovingly: "How far can we go further? Let them hand over the potion formula and refuse, and they let us open the purchase permission of Mercury's Blood. In the end, the negotiation will definitely collapse! Just reach a simple agreement and import and export potion materials!"

"Your Highness, if you think about it carefully, if a giant alliance on potions is established, who will benefit the most?"

"."

The second prince was slightly taken aback, glanced at Ma Wei, and suddenly realized: "Yes! Why am I so stupid! Others can disagree with it, but we should vigorously promote the establishment of the Potion Alliance! As long as the Potion Alliance is established, Man Shi Tanyin Potion Company will make a lot of money! By the way, we will be different!"

The crux of the problem lies here. The establishment of the Potions Alliance will benefit the Manstein Potions Company the most, because Mavi is already the potion distributor established by the Kingdom of Windsor, and has arranged companies in the capitals of each kingdom. With the secret support of the Romanov Kingdom, it is not difficult at all to become the largest potion dealer.

In this way, the Manstein Potion Company, which has a pivotal position in the Potion Alliance, will definitely attract the attention of the Church of the Three Fates, and even the status of the Second Prince and Archbishop Brandon will rise by then.

It's one thing for others to agree with you, but it's another thing for you to do it yourself.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting resumed, and before Archbishop Fay could speak, Ma Wei stood up first, and said under everyone's puzzled eyes: "Everyone, before continuing to discuss the treaty, please listen to me one thing. "

Archbishop Fay nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please speak."

"I think the treaty that everyone is currently discussing is too cautious." Ma Wei picked up the treaty document discussed in the morning and said: "The first article of the agreement is the content of tariffs. The tax rates independently customized by each country have been unanimously agreed by everyone. It’s also a way of constraining each other.”

"But have you ever thought about it? The world is not limited to the Central Continent. The Northern Continent is occupied by the Romanov Kingdom. According to the information we have obtained, they are vigorously developing education and industry. Within ten years, they will definitely become our enemy! "

"The most powerful country in the Western Continent is the United States of America. More than 100 years ago, it was still our colony, but now? They have grown stronger day by day! The strength they have shown cannot be underestimated!"

"Although the Southern Continent is still under development, it is rich in resources and vast land. It is a land of natural resources. People living there can easily obtain the resources necessary for survival without working hard. It is also the place with the most types of extraordinary creatures at present. mainland!"

The translator quickly translated Ma Wei's words into various languages, and everyone listened quietly.

"The Central Continent is the Central Continent not because it is located in the center of the world, but because most of the most powerful countries in the world are concentrated on this land!" Ma Wei said loudly: "If we can unite, we can Harvest the resources of other continents and continue to grow yourself!"

The representative of the Roman Republic couldn't help asking: "What do you mean?"

"First, cancel the tariff on potions! Encourage market operations and allow potions to circulate in the market!"

"What? Cancel tariffs?!" A representative of Frederick Kingdom couldn't sit still: "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course I'm not joking." Ma Wei said coldly: "Instead of arguing about tariffs, it's better to cancel them directly, open up the barriers between the kingdoms, and allow the rapid circulation of potions. I mean, within a few days of signing the agreement In this country, the potion does not need to be taxed, but if it comes from other countries, it will still be taxed."

The abolition of tariffs is bound to stimulate the market, and at the same time lower the price of potions. The cost of potions that originally cost 1 gold pound may be only 10 shillings or even less after the tariffs are abolished.

This is an extreme way to strengthen cooperation, but it would be a good thing if all countries can eliminate tariffs.

For the Frederick Kingdom and the Roman Republic, the Windsor Kingdom’s maritime advantages are terrible, and the cancellation of tariffs has the greatest impact on them, but they have the Manstein Potion Company. Once the market is opened, the Manstein Potion Company will It will become the leader in the potion industry in the shortest possible time, and the benefits it will bring will not necessarily be less than tariffs, or even more.

The Kingdom of Frederick and the Roman Republic, which did not have much competitiveness in potions, did not object to the proposal to cancel tariffs. They were the biggest beneficiaries of the reduction in the price of potions.

"Archbishop Fay, what do you think?"

Ma Wei looked at the silent Archbishop Fay, who twitched his beard and said expressionlessly, "Aside from canceling tariffs, what other ideas do you have?"

"The rest is of course that the policies of various countries give the green light to the potion, and implement unified inspection methods, specifications, weights and measures, and settlement currency. Regarding the settlement currency, I think everyone disagrees with using a certain country's currency. If this is the case, it is better to use it temporarily. Gold for settlement."

All countries use the gold standard currency system. For example, the gold pound of the Kingdom of Windsor contains 1 grams of pure gold in the 7.32 gold pound coin, accounting for 91.7% of the weight of the coin. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gold coin.

For the major churches that use gold to cast magic circles in large quantities, gold is a hard currency. If gold is used for settlement of potion transactions, foreign gold can flow into the country in large quantities, which is a good thing.

What's more important is the weights and measures standards. In the past, countries were different. If they can be standardized, it is not a bad thing.

"I understand what you mean." Archbishop Fay nodded slowly: "If gold settlement is implemented and weights and measures are unified, market transactions between countries will be simpler and cooperation will be closer, just like the former Apocalypse God System Same."

"In the future internationalization process, unification of weights and measures and currency is the only way to go. There is nothing to say about this. The real benefit is that countries that have signed the agreement can use reasonable and legal methods to earn greater benefits in the future. expand into international markets."

Ma Wei threw the document on the table, and glanced at everyone: "Everyone should take a long-term view, don't just focus on the Central Continent and ignore the larger market, there are still many small countries that are not as powerful as ours waiting Development, the market is far from saturated, only by uniting can we earn more!"

The representatives here all know what Ma Wei said, and they can understand as soon as they hear that Ma Wei intends to unite them and concentrate their efforts on harvesting countries in other continents, especially the southern and eastern continents, where resources are extremely rich. It is a golden mountain!
The representatives sent by various countries to Paris have been given temporary decision-making power. They have the right to decide the content of the agreement without consulting the church or the king. But such an important matter, no one dares to make a decision for a while.

In silence, Archbishop Fay said: "I propose to come here first today. The meeting went well. Everyone can go back and think about it, and continue tomorrow morning."

"agree."

"agree."

The representatives of various countries left the conference hall. Archbishop Fay's eyes remained on Ma Wei. After the door was closed, a small door on the side of the conference hall opened, and an old man wearing a blue archbishop's robe came out.
It turned out to be exactly the same as Archbishop Fay!
Archbishop Fay, who came out of the small door, came to the side of Archbishop Fay who presided over the meeting, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "You have worked hard."

The face of Archbishop Fay, who presided over the meeting, changed like a cloud, and soon became Anatole.

"Did you hear it all?"

"Are you asking about Nicholas von Manstein's proposed alliance?"

"Yes, Fay, what do you think?"

"From my personal point of view, I can accept it or not." Archbishop Fay said: "Harvesting other kingdoms will certainly make us rich and powerful in a short period of time, but at the same time it will also attract hostility from other kingdoms. Over time, it will affect wave power. The international prestige of the First Napartist Empire."

"Reputation." Anatole smiled: "This is the most useless thing. It is useful for the belief in God, but for the kingdom, there is no need to consider whether the reputation is good or bad. If you want to consider the reputation, Napoleon is not It's going to start a war, right?"

"But you believe in God. If your reputation is too bad, it will affect the loyalty of believers."

The smile gradually disappeared, and Anatole said quietly: "I am only one step away from the main god, Fay, what I need now is not more believers, but two days before the Siren's Tears, I felt that someone used it in the West Sea. Holy Relic, have the investigation results come out?"

"Not yet, I have already sent the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross to investigate."

"Hurry up. Although it is not the power of the Siren's Tears, it contains the same aura as the Siren's Tears. There must be a connection between them."

"Understood." Archbishop Fay thought for a while and said, "Do you want to agree with Nicholas von Manstein's proposal?"

"He's a talent, Fay, and I'm getting more and more reluctant to let him go."

Anatole twirled the ring on his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand Napoleon's ambition. One day, he will launch another war to conquer the world. As long as he can defeat the Kingdom of Romanov, the Siren's Tears will naturally come to an end." It's in my pocket."

"We need to accumulate strength. Magic is one thing, and potion is another. With Nicholas, we don't have to worry about potions."
