Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 693: small sacrifice

Deceiving too much.

That's what lawmakers think these days.

Really deceiving too much.

Kant learned from the barbarians, and used public opinion methods such as nether filters and smeared reports handed down by foreign media to attack the council. It was really the same as attacking his grandson.

So it is impossible to resist.

If you want to fight back, the council has neither systematic and mature propaganda methods nor advanced high-tech photographic products to provide detailed evidence. It can only be incompetent and furious to lie to children, and has a picture of Dior with Far Harbor. In comparison, it is really low.

Even Kant sent the air force to invade the border and dropped countless leaflets on the major cities of the council. With such maturity, there must already be a relevant combat system.

Countless tons of flyers can be dropped with precision over every major city today.

When a war really breaks out, what will be left behind?

The lawmakers were indignant and expressed their opinions. The lawmakers, who are giants in the paper and printing industry, took the opportunity to propose, saying that if Kant can throw flyers, I can do it.

After a discussion, a decision was made. The Starry Court placed orders with powerful printing workshops and paper mills, and quickly printed a batch of promotional materials to let the people of Far Harbor know the true face of Kant.

But soon, the hard truth tells them - no, you can't.

It was the congressman who proposed to shift the stars first to realize that something was wrong.

He took the opportunity to get a large order, and was a little happy, but this is basic, and the public money is not profitable - but then, the person in charge below came to report to him in horror.

It's horrible to say, Kant is horrible.

The Aurora people threw flyers around, and the person in charge collected a bunch of samples out of professional habit.

Of course, he scoffed and dismissed the propaganda content and black material about the MPs written above - this content is too conservative, which is really rare and strange.

His focus is on the paper itself.

There are seven or eight kinds of paper materials for the collected flyer samples, and the more the person in charge looks at them, the more terrified they are.

"Master, this paper has the best texture. The surface is extremely smooth and the whiteness is extremely high. I dismantled it using cracking techniques. It is then flattened with a powerful press machine, adding light, smoothness and tightness…”

The person in charge stammered to explain.

Newsprint, coated paper, copy paper, letterpress printing paper... He doesn't know the names of these papers, but after a general research, he can also tell about their approximate production principles and special uses.

Because of this, he was so frightened.

The Member was impatient and asked him to focus on the point.

"Too much!"

The person in charge was sweating profusely: "I have contacted the major cities and roughly estimated the flyers that the Aurora people have dropped in the past few days...almost already our output for a month!"

In today’s world, even if paper is not a luxury, it is a high-end product. Because the most important knowledge, that is, mysterious power, has natural monopoly barriers, so interest groups will not be on guard and allow the spread of primary knowledge. Therefore, the paper and printing industries more prosperous.

- After all, if the citizens read some entertainment works such as poetry, they will make less trouble. These guys know how to read and write, and they can also promote the development of the city, and it is easy to manage when they are recruited.

But paper is still characterized as a more precious product.

- After all, there are still a considerable number of people, and there is no need to contact knowledge.

In the council, this extremely profitable industry is of course dominated by the most powerful people. As the person in charge of the paper and printing industries for the councillors, after studying several sample flyers, he only felt a chill. From the soles of the feet to the forehead, the whole person is swaying.

Because, in addition to those spiritual papers with various magical properties that are dedicated to official institutions and major mage towers, the pages of these leaflets thrown by Kant can already be used to standardize all the products of his own paper industry - and the quality is basic are much better.

The key is yield.

Where did Kant throw flyers, he just threw boxes of gold coins all over the place...

"The impact has already taken place... As of today, the average price of paper in various cities has been forced to drop by 30%, and the sales volume has dropped by 60%, mainly in retail..."

Because flyers don't need money!

And it was only printed on one side, the back was white and clean, and some even thoughtfully pulled out straight lines on the manuscript paper, which is outrageous.

Citizens in need of paper only need to pick it up and save a fortune, but if they occasionally look at the promotional materials and pictures on the back, they fall into Kant's tricks.

These small actions, due to the limitations of knowledge and thinking, as long as no one mentions it, it is difficult to break the head, but for Kant, a young comrade who is flexible in thinking and does not talk about martial arts, it is really easy to do - propaganda war Day by day, his flower work is getting more and more.

A few days later, the content of the flyer was not limited to politics, but also propaganda pictures about the Far Harbor, and some council jokes modified from the treasure of the earth.

Of course, the most eye-catching is the pictures of beautiful women—and they are cut, and it takes a few or even a dozen flyers to put together to see the whole picture.

These things have caused the Starry Sky Court to be devastated and repeatedly banned. After all, they are councils with advanced political systems, and they cannot engage in the tyranny of the empire's "private possession and beheading", and since ancient times, some things have been banned. The more intense , such as Matryoshka and Gou.

Of course, these matters are not the point, at least not for the printing and paper tycoon congressman... The real point, he has realized.

"That is to say, with the unimaginable paper production and printing technology that Kant has shown in the past few days, once he starts a vicious business competition with us, we..."

The person in charge hesitated, not daring to say everything.

But the meaning is already obvious.

The flyers that Kant has thrown all over the sky these days are all for nothing, without blinking his eyes. Since he can do such a thing, he will put more paper into the market and dump it at a very low price. Foreign markets are likely to lose out in a short period of time.

MPs understand.

"We're going to talk to Kant!"

The next day at the Starry Sky Court, he made a generous statement: "This kind of playful quarrel should end! If it continues like this, it will only waste our honor and prestige, as well as the lives of our loyal soldiers!"

Another thing happened yesterday.

Finally, a large passenger plane was caught entering the country. The council could no longer bear it, and sent three bipedal flying dragons carrying light prisms to the sky to provide refraction for the Yangyan Jet Tower. According to the report of the reconnaissance mages who monitored and positioned from a distance, it was a beautiful blow.

One of the wings of the huge aircraft was easily cut off. The broken wing burned black smoke and fell to the ground. The remaining body flew crookedly in the air, barely maintaining the flight state. After a while, it jumped into the phase gate. In, run away.

While the congressmen celebrated, they sent someone to collect the fallen wing, but after a few seconds, a sudden change occurred, and the phase gate above the cloud suddenly opened.

Slender, graceful, gorgeous, cold, and swift, the steel wings roared through the clouds.

It flipped and accelerated in the air, and two roaring meteors emanated from under its wings, and instantly smashed the fallen passenger plane into pieces. Broken into pieces, the fighter swooped and accelerated again, locking on the attacking Yangyan Jet Tower.

Objects like thermal decoy bombs are sprayed from the fighter in all directions, but the air combat in the other world does not require infrared radiation bombs. The objects ejected are paradoxical crystals, which are diffused and expanded by Kant's will, connecting the other world and the white world. The passage of the fog world, and in that other world, the firepower position is already in place.

The Yangyan Jet Tower, which made great contributions, was instantly engulfed by rockets and artillery shells. The large shield that rose up shattered after one minute and fourteen seconds. Everything was swallowed up by flames and explosions. The intensive bombardment lasted for five minutes. Even the top of the mountain where the jet tower is located was flattened by a few meters, and the smoke was roaring.

And the steel wings turned into the sky, and the graceful and cruel war machine showed the temperament of destruction in an elegant manner. After abruptly accelerating, it disappeared into the blue light cloud of phase unfolding.

Starry Sky Court ordered Yang Yan to irradiate, it is expected that "Kant will not take the initiative to start a war."

Since I won't take the initiative to fight, then I will destroy your alchemy aircraft over my home territory.

- How can you?

I can blow your Prism Tower with my backhand.

- How can you?

I can bear it.

The matter came to an end with yet another incompetent fury.

After all, the current battle between the Council and Far Harbor is like a battle between two people.

Cowardly retreat, reckless victory.

As long as the members dare not start a war, even if the council is sitting on the spear of the country's light and holding the mysterious lifeline of the mortal arcane law, it must obey and be beaten passively.

The monstrous national power can't be used up, and it only increases the smile.

Listening to the speeches and arguments of the deputies, the grand speaker's eyes became more and more gloomy.

He envied the emperor, and he also envied Kant.

He was aware of the threat of the Far Harbor, aware of Kant's hostility, and aware that the Council must fight at all costs to interrupt Kant's expansion ambitions and let him obey the rules of the world.

Only in this way can the national future of the council be guaranteed, and the Austrian council will not become bait for the rising Kant in the future... Otherwise, the ambitious and expanding Kant will inevitably join forces with the elves to stifle the council's interests in the western seas , robbing the market and eroding the country.

There must be a fight.

And sooner rather than later.

It's a pity that he had such courage and determination, but the councillors did not, because of ancient tradition, he could not act alone, so that the council was so humiliated by Kant...

- But that will soon change.

"We have to talk to Kant!"

"But the messenger we sent to convey the intention of negotiation was rejected by Kant."

"That's because he insisted..."

The sound of discussion stopped, everyone turned their heads, and their eyes converged.

Focus on the Grand Speaker.

Kant refused all peace and negotiation.

Because the Dragon of Aurora is known as a word that cannot be changed, he insists on the original conditions.

- Let the grand speaker come to the far port in person, apologize to him, and pay compensation.

At that time, the Starry Sky Court, which was full of anger and anger, categorically refused. This is simply the ultimate humiliation. It is an extreme trampling on the reputation of the Council to have the Supreme Head of State of the world come to apologize.

Of course the Speaker refused, because as long as he agreed, his political life would be over, and the congressmen didn't even think about agreeing. After all, it was a matter of face, not just the Speaker.

but now…

They are really fed up with the public opinion wars these days, and the daily flyers have new content, some of which are unfounded jokes that make them angry, and some are their real black material.

In addition, the threat of war, Kant's military display, as well as inexplicably and unreasonably strong financial and economic power, all made the lawmakers more and more afraid.

- Let's put an end to this hooligan fight-like stupidity.

They thought so.

And Kant's peace talks have only one condition - let the speaker personally apologize.

They looked at the Grand Speaker.

The Grand Chancellor also looked at them.

As if terrified by the calm eyes of the head of state, none of the MPs said a word.

After a long while, someone said with a dry smile: "First of all, the speaker is definitely not here to apologize, and secondly, we must ask Kant to agree that this matter cannot be made public. On this basis, I think it is necessary for us to talk to Kant, let this A series of things with a decent outcome..."

It is reported that the Sigoethe Company has been established, and this Kant private enterprise has completed preliminary negotiations with the business giants of the Dragon Island, the Brotherhood, the Elves and the Empire, and is ready to provide the entire continent with the greatness of the Dragon of Aurora. Creation and beautiful products.

According to the grapevine, when asked what business Sigoethe was planning to do, the company's chairman, Ms. Leona, was aggressive.

"Whatever business the council has that makes money, we'll do it."

This is to appease the business giants, that is, relax your heart, and you will not grab the market with you.

It's also a beating on the business community of the council, be prepared, the Lord is going to come in.

It is also a hint to the business giants, it is best to cooperate, otherwise the Lord will also do your business.

And the most terrible thing is that everyone can be sure that most of the **** in Oxington was captured by Kant. How much black material this force has, if it is pinched in Kant's hands, it will be too much fun.

The Aurora people used all kinds of methods, all kinds of routines, and besieged them from all sides. The councilors found sadly that even if they didn't use the forbidden spell and did not use the military force, they were still at a disadvantage by the far port.

Seeing that Kant is coming, it is impossible to fight a war. For the sake of love and peace, the congressmen are getting kinder and more kind. If it really doesn't work, let's find a way to talk about it.

"It's better to make some concessions to actual interests... Anyway, our losses so far are not very much."

The members said this and looked at the speaker, with obvious intentions.

Since Kant said that negotiations can only be carried out if the grand speaker personally apologizes, then in order to end this farce, it is time for the grand speaker to exchange peace for a generation.

"Just think it's for the future of this country, okay?"

They sincerely persuaded: "Make a little sacrifice, we will remember your contribution, and do everything possible to maintain your honor... Grand Speaker, the council needs you."

The supreme leader of the country looked at all of you with calm eyes.

"Are you willing to make such a sacrifice for the future of this country?"

The congressmen who were watched did not hesitate to answer: "If I were the speaker, I would come forward and negotiate with Kant, even if I would be ridiculed and humiliated by the other party, and I also believe that if the speaker is a member , and will support me unreservedly and defend my honor and dignity."

Hearing this, His Excellency the Speaker laughed.

He laughed for a while and said slowly, "Conditions."

Members of Congress have come to the spirit-interest exchange, we are familiar with this, and your interests are indispensable.

"First, three days later, the generals will submit a plan to expand the army, and the Starry Sky Court must approve it - although it is a negotiation and compromise, but Kant's threat has been clearly felt by you, right?"

The members looked at each other and nodded.

This is true, if it is just to expand the army without fighting, then everyone is also a proprietor of porcelain.

"Second, we are still passive in the situation. If we go to negotiate now, we will not only be humiliated by Kant as a winner, but we will not be able to put forward too many favorable conditions in the negotiation."

The speaker said lightly: "So, we must continue to exert pressure and put pressure on Kant, which will also give an explanation to the people, and let Kant know that we are not easy to mess with."

The lawmakers hesitated, how else can they exert pressure?

"Goethe... I ask you to agree to impose sanctions on Goethe, including interrupting trade, expelling international students, recalling spellcasters and many other measures."

The speaker said lightly: "Start with Goethe, put pressure on Goethe, and arouse their disgust with Kant. This pressure will be conveyed to Kant, dividing his relationship with Goethe..."

The MPs were silent.

The Great Speaker took away the gleam in his eyes.

He has studied Kant's moves and actions, and if the Far Harbor Defenders and the Evacuation of the Broken Isles are not just a show, then it makes a point.

-Kant needs people, needs labor, a lot.

The Broken Isles were smashed into pieces, and only 30,000 to 50,000 people were rescued. Even if the Far Harbor and the surrounding villages and towns combined, the population of 200,000 to 300,000 was barely enough. Compared with the council, this number was a joke, Kant thought. Whatever he wants, he cannot get anything.

Kant wanted people and land, and he had nowhere to conquer. He could only attack Goethe. He had a relationship with Princess Tina.

Can't let him do it.

"As far as I know, the business under your name, Goethe's share is not too large, even if sanctions are imposed, the temporary loss is within the acceptable range..."

The Speaker tapped the table and said to the members: "So, are you willing to make a little sacrifice for the future of the country?"

- Of course I don't want to kill the old man, little ass, a lot of money.

But this has already been said, coaxing the old man to negotiate, it is not good to refuse this proposal.

"That's… all right." The lawmakers slowly established their decision. "We agree."

"And a third thing."

The speaker said slowly: "Although you claim that this peace negotiation is confidential, if the news leaks, I am afraid I will have to take the blame and resign. In order to prevent any of you from taking the opportunity to leak the secret and drive me out of office, I also promise me Taiwan, I can also control enough benefits for me to get up again..."

He glanced back and forth: "I need you to give me something... It's just a nominal offer, and it can be revoked after the peace talks are successfully concluded. This is the biggest premise of my agreement."

"Otherwise, we will fight Kant to the end."

He then made an offer with each of the MPs.

From resistance to shake, from hesitation to sigh.

There are so many things wrong with old things.

Finally agreed.

"Then vote immediately and sign the document." The speaker said lightly, "Document, take the memorandum."

After signing the contract and making the agreement, the Speaker showed a smile from the heart.

These idiots.

It's been too long, too rotten.

"Don't frown. After the peace talks are over, the contract will be voided. If I go back on it, you can use this contract to veto me at any time... just as you said."

The Great Speaker smiled.

"It's... a small sacrifice for the future of this country."
