She handed the package box to the stunned assistant, then loosened her bun and lay on the sofa in the office with her hands spread out, looking completely isolated from the outside world. The poor assistant could only hold this heavy gift in his arms.
She curled up as much as possible and looked for an opportunity to move to the single sofa on the other side. Before that, the assistant touched her wrist tentatively to make sure that Diana Lister was just closing her eyes to rest and not dying suddenly from overwork.
"But this is a gift from the Imperial Guard. In other words, this is a gift from the emperor to you." The assistant asked softly, "What is in this? Do you have a personal friendship with the emperor?"
"If you were in my position, you would too." Diana Lister replied with her eyes closed. She has transformed from the original college girl who would be frightened and screamed by the chain sword to a seasoned affairs officer.
The assistant became her past self. "As for what the gift is, I don't know."
The giving time of these gifts is not fixed. Sometimes they are given to thank her for her hard work, and sometimes they are just out of courtesy during festivals. Moreover, the value of the gifts has no rules at all. Sometimes they are CDs of classic TV series,
Sometimes it's expensive jewelry, and sometimes it's just a weapon.
"You might as well take it apart and take a look. I allow you to experience the surprise."
"Oh! This is so thoughtful!" After opening the gift, the assistant was full of surprise, "A bottle of perfume!"
"That should be the logo produced by the emperor's own alchemy workshop. It is very expensive, and not many people in this world have it." Diana opened her eyes, took a look at the perfume bottle, and asked her assistant to put the perfume bottle in front of her.
He looked at the display cabinet in the living room, then took the thick documents stacked on the table and put them under his head, closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
The documents she used as pillows were a set of very important documents. They were industrial standard protocols handed over to Wakanda by some of the Martian foundries and the Immortal City. They included reviews of various types of high-strength quick-drying concrete for different uses.
Standards, road and bridge reinforcement standard operating templates, new freight system transportation network access codes, global network defense protocol access codes, optical fiber production standards and evaluation standards, etc.
Limited by economic strength, the scope of infrastructure construction was previously limited to the province directly under the jurisdiction of Latvinia. Now that full cooperation with Wakanda has been reached, large-scale infrastructure construction that can meet the needs of the emperor has begun. Although Wakanda
The industry can be easily integrated into Latvinia's technological level, but the completely different current standards still require Wakandans to spend time studying and cannot be applied mechanically.
However, most of these technologies are not different from those used in Wakanda today. Staff from the Harnburg scientific research base can easily connect. The Wakandans also provide technical support to the Mars Foundry and the Eternal City in the form of technology exchange and patent fees.
, even if the price of the century-long patent period is slightly lower, it can still make Hahnburg a lot of money.
The Wakanda envoy stayed in Latvinia for half a month, and new agreements and cooperation were reached almost every day.
But just like the cooperation between the Immortal City and Wakanda, the Emperor of Latvinia has always suppressed Wakanda's technological exchange in a relatively marginal position. The main body of technology is still the Immortal City and the Mars Foundry, ensuring that industrial
While the lifeline is not in the hands of others, Wakanda is unable to influence domestic politics. In the last week of the visit, Latovinia’s wine, cosmetics, fish catches, rubber and wheat, Wakanda minerals,
Foreign trade agricultural, fishing and hunting commodities such as gems, fruits, and animal products were the highlight of the trading list. For the first time, Wakanda's business aristocrats, who had been excluded from industrial trade, felt the huge profits brought by foreign trade.
As a symbol of national exchanges and personal friendship, the Wakanda royal family presented the Emperor of Latvinia with a crown inlaid with a large number of exquisite jewels, which was far more luxurious than the British royal family's imperial crown. Not surprisingly, this crown was eventually
The place of destination was a museum rather than a castle, but the crown also aroused the curiosity of Latvian people about Wakanda's wealth. Under such circumstances, people-to-people exchanges and tourism between the two countries naturally developed. As
Wakanda's first open target, private tour groups from Latovinia were even allowed to enter the Golden City for a tour, and the capital of Latovinia also organized an event while the iron was hot and arranged an official visiting group to Wakanda
.
It can be said that the final result of this visit was that everyone was satisfied. Even T'Challa temporarily put the impact of the previous coup behind him because of the huge profits brought by these transactions, and enjoyed his short stay in Latovinia with peace of mind.
Holidays. Latovinia, like Wakanda, refuses to join the global trading system and uses a new framework led by Latovinia itself. The result of this behavior is that the global trading system dominated by capitalist countries has been
Put aside, popular settlement currencies such as the US dollar and the euro were completely bypassed. In addition, Latovinia's special geographical location controls the lifeblood of Europe's power supply routes. Since the visit of the Wakanda mission, there has been a series of condemnations in the European and American media.
Continuously.
At first, they called the exchange between Latovinia and Wakanda "a last resort choice in an international diplomatic dilemma." The subtext was that Latovinia had no friends in the international community and could only establish diplomatic relations with third-world African countries to establish its own rule.
legality. But after Wakanda demonstrated its technological strength, they also called this behavior of bypassing the global international trade system a "disregard for the interests of all mankind" and a "technological oligopoly", calling for Wakanda to open up
international exchanges, and to "recognize reality" and "safeguard the interests of the free world", and then propose economic sanctions against Latvinia and Wakanda for "unruly behavior".
After the First Expansion War, hundreds of sanctions were imposed on Latovinia. Most of them were later lifted under the threat of the Emperor of Latovinia, who was a "threat far beyond the nuclear bomb". Perhaps Lato
Emperor Vinia's willingness to maintain order was regarded as a sign of weakness by European elected members. Even if he knew who was behind the scenes, Latovinia still cut off some of the power supply routes to the EU in Eastern Europe and the EU's Black Sea and Mediterranean freight routes.
.
Ocean freighters now pass through the Suez Canal and the Black Sea Strait, but they are unable to transport goods to Europe. A large number of commercial activities have been affected by geopolitics. Just during Wakanda's state visit, the cost of industrial electricity in Europe was
It has increased by 10%, and the price of crude oil is rising even more. No matter how the idiots below chant slogans, politicians and the plutocrats behind politicians must not make less money. Those smarter politicians know that they cannot use strong methods to force Latovini
After all, the war between NATO and Latvinia has not ended in name, and NATO is unable to come up with effective means to respond to Latvinia’s attacks. All sanctions against Latvinia can easily be considered
An act of war, and an act of war will only result in a beheading strike called "death of the whole family."
Therefore, as long as Latvinia does not launch an expansion expedition to Western Europe, all politicians will try their best to maintain a false peace with Latvinia to ensure that they and the plutocrats behind them can continue to make money. The emperor and regent are also happy to see this
Due to the situation, Latovinia now does not need to increase management costs and financial expenditures. For example, the merger proposal initiated by Modovar, which had always wanted to be merged with Romania, was ruthlessly rejected by the regent Victor von Doom.
Yes, because Latovinia does not need a poor country with an extremely weak industrial base to increase fiscal expenditures, but it does need a country to act as a geopolitical buffer zone to prevent the entire country from deviating from the emperor's plan.
As Wakanda's state visit ends, Latvinia has entered a new phase.
