the next day.
Chateau came to the parliament early. Although today's meeting may be just a formality, almost all members attended in person.
"Congressman Chateau, good morning."
"Good morning, Senator Cliff."
Cliff, who had not been seen yesterday, came earlier today. Sha Duo greeted him and entered the conference hall together, and then waited for others to proceed.
Some people have already arrived, but they are still talking in the garden outside. At this moment, in the conference hall, apart from Chateau and Cliff, only Badigal, the speaker, has arrived early.
After a while, all the members of Parliament arrived one after another. Only a few people did not attend in person. Runiya was still studying the Mystery Lock at the Tower of Time. This time, she did not even attend the projection, but asked Shado to take her to vote.
Another example is Brod, who did not attend in person, but only attended via projection.
In addition, there were two congressmen from the third dimension of Sweetwater who were unable to attend in person due to various reasons. They also used the projection of the Tower of Time remote conference system.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start!"
After a simple opening remarks, Badigal first introduced the cause of this impromptu meeting, which was the mithril mine incident.
Most of this information, including Shado, is already known to the vast majority of parliamentarians. The focus of Badigal's briefing is the latest reactions from the Northland Alliance countries. This is a request from Netheril's representative to the Northland Alliance.
Leo just sent it back to China this morning.
"Yellan and Danzo intend to unite to support Amarinda in obtaining the preemptive rights to the Gray Peak Mountains on the surface. Cormanthor and Ilfarang are still waiting and watching because they are not bordering the Gray Peak Mountains.
"As for Evereska and other countries, they have not made a statement for the time being, but one thing is certain. In addition to us, several countries around the Gray Peak Mountains, including Everesca, have already sent their troops to the Mithril Mine.
Strength.
"The current situation is like this. It is not clear yet. We must reach an agreement as soon as possible on how to deal with this mithril mine incident."
Badigal did not mention the demon descendant. There is no new news about the demon descendant from the Northland Alliance. This is undoubtedly bad news. The poisonous snake hiding in the dark is more dangerous, because you don't know when it will sneak down.
Mouth.
After Badigal finished speaking, there was silence in the conference hall. There was no need for Shado to be humble at this time. It was originally his plan. If he didn't take the initiative himself, how could he get others to support him?
So he stood up and spoke out his proposal, which was the final plan that was improved after negotiating with various council members all day yesterday. There were only some detailed adjustments to his initial plan, but the overall principles were still consistent.
It is to try to promote a fair distribution within the alliance and use this unexpected incident as an opportunity for the countries in the North to further unite.
After Chateau finished speaking, Brod was the first to express his support and warmed up the atmosphere a little. Then each member of parliament began to express their own opinions. In addition to supporting or supplementing Chateau's proposal, they also expressed their opinions on the attitudes of the countries in the North.
view.
"Erlan and Danzo established the Mithril Alliance a long time ago. It would not be a good thing for us if they join forces to take over again this time."
"Irfaran has nothing to do with the Gray Peak Mountains. It is difficult to interfere directly with the Gray Peak Mountains. They and we have common interests."
"As long as we can destroy Erlan and Danzo's mithril alliance, even Cormanthor may not be unable to unite."
The Mithril Alliance between Denzo and Erlan is not a political or military alliance, but is closer to a customs union or trading partner, and does not affect Denzo's neutral status.
After all, making money is not shabby.
The mithril agreement between Netheril and the two countries in the past is an intuitive manifestation of this alliance. However, in the past hundreds of years, Netheril has been trying to replace Yeerlan's identity and has achieved good results, but in the end it cannot be completely
Replacement.
Because Ellan and Denzo have so many industries that can complement each other, and because both countries are immortal species, the friendship that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years is far more stable than that with Netheril.
Currently, the most traded commodities between Netheril and Danzo are grain, iron, ore, and wine. Netheril mainly exports grain, wine, various types of ores, and imports iron.
In addition, there are also transactions in adamantine, mithril, gemstones, magic items, etc., but overall Netheril is in a huge deficit.
Exports are all low value-added products, but imports are high value-added products. Regardless of whether it is a deficit, it is not a good thing, it means that it will be easily harvested by others.
As for Ellan and Danzo, the transaction list is even richer. In addition to the transactions of physical items, there are also a large number of service transactions. For example, Ellan regularly sends spellcasters to the Underdark to train troops and garrison Danzo at the same time.
Correspondingly, Erlan also needs to provide surface support services for Denzo so that Denzo's dwarves can receive timely support during ground activities, and even citizens of the two countries can serve in each other's armies.
In addition, there are general services, such as dwarf architects going to work in elven society, or elven designers going to the Underdark, etc.
If there had not been the emergence of the Northland Alliance, Shado believed that a few years later, it would have been entirely possible for Erlan and Danzo to come together and become a confederate country.
Of course, Erlan has all of the above, and as long as other countries in the North do not reject it, Danzo can also satisfy it. However, compared to its close neighbor Yeerland, the conditions of other countries in all aspects are far inferior.
…
Shado himself is not willing to turn Ellan and Danzo against each other, but he also fully agrees with the further development of the relationship between Netheril and Danzo.
Fortunately, now is not the time to discuss Danzo's issue. Badigal spoke in time and gradually brought the increasingly biased topic back -
"Now vote, who agrees with the Netherese attitude and plan proposed by Councilor Shado to deal with the mithril mine incident?"
As Xia Duo expected yesterday, there was a slight change today. Those who originally wanted to abstain voted in favor. As for those who had originally agreed to support, of course they still voted in support as always.
In the end, a total of 42 votes were in favor, and the others could have passed even if they all opposed it.
However, Badigal still followed the procedure and confirmed it, and all the remaining nine votes abstained. Shado's proposal was officially approved, and will become the fundamental principle for Ambassador Tirion's subsequent negotiations in the Northland Alliance.
However, for a negotiation involving the huge interests of the countries in the North, fundamental principles alone are not enough. It also requires the support of many details, such as the bottom line of the negotiation, the scope of communication with representatives of various countries, the scope of interest exchange, etc.
All require authorization from the Severnton Council. If it is just a general matter, Tirion can have full autonomy to make decisions.
