Chapter 3035 The Disaster of Elam and Sha Duo’s Opportunity
While Elan had not repented yet, Chateau immediately ordered Charles to ask Elan representatives to come over and explain that this was his right as an alliance consultant.
Of course, if it involves the five major countries or Everesca, Shado may take the initiative to visit their plenipotentiary representatives and ask for explanations, but for the representatives of Elam, it is normal to directly summon them.
Sending an assistant to invite him now is a sign of respect for the other party, and it is also in line with Xia Duo's usual style of doing things - courtesy first and then fighting.
…
Soon, Charles came to Shado's office with a golden elf with a somewhat frightened face, and took the lead in reporting: "Sir, Ambassador Tomedis has arrived."
"Um."
Shado nodded, then turned his gaze to the Elan representative next to him, "Ambassador Tomedis, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, respected Consultant Xia Duo." Representative Ellan, as a golden elf, looked flattered at this moment. Later, he took the initiative to ask, "I wonder what Consultant Xia Duo summoned you for?"
"There is one thing. I want to hear an explanation from Elam."
Then, Chateau briefly repeated the situation reported by Charles before - that is, Elan was preparing to forcibly collect user subsidies for the computing power pool, and then waited for Tomedis' explanation.
"This, this -"
When Tomedes heard the news, he couldn't help but sweat a little, but when facing Xia Duo, he still forcibly calmed down and gave an explanation that Xia Duo had not expected -
“Elan is in dire straits and is really short of money, so we have to turn our attention to subsidizing the computing power pool. However, please rest assured that Consultant Xia Duo will not affect the normal operation of the computing power pool.
.”
When Xia Duo asked Charles to invite the other party over before, he told Charles to tell the other party his purpose of looking for him. He thought that after thinking about it for so long, the other party had already come up with a reason that was at least plausible on the surface.
I didn't expect him to be so direct, saying that Elan was short of money.
But this is not too surprising. Strictly speaking, Elan's lack of money is not a secret, especially for someone like Xia Duo who has access to the alliance's internal intelligence.
Instead of coming up with various excuses to make up for it, admitting it generously can be an effective coping strategy.
There was a feeling of "I'm so short of money, why don't you treat me the same way". In addition, the other party also mentioned that this new tax would not affect the normal operation of the computing power pool, which was another concern of An Xiaduo.
Perhaps in Tomedis's eyes, the reason why Xia Duo came to him was because he was worried about the impact on the Elan network of the computing power pool, but what he didn't know was that Xia Duo was completely drunk this time.
The real purpose of finding him was actually to intervene in Elam's domestic affairs.
…
In the office, Xia Duo tapped the table lightly, as if he was thinking, and indeed he was thinking. Tomedis was so direct that he almost stopped him, but the matter itself was still within the scope of his power to interfere.
.
After thinking for a moment, Shado asked Tomedis: "What is the real situation in Elam? Don't hide anything. Although I am very dissatisfied with Elan's collection of computing power pool subsidies, but if the situation in Elam is indeed
If it's serious, I can provide assistance to Elan through other channels."
"Thank you, Consultant Xia Duo, for your understanding."
Tomedes secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time began to explain, "The situation in Elam is far worse than the alliance knew. Elam's agriculture is underdeveloped. For a long time in the past, residents needed Slu
After Wende was imported from other places and forced to become independent, this situation has not been alleviated.
"In addition, as a part of Sluvender, Elam used to have uneven development in all aspects. Now after independence, this has become a big problem.
"But if you want to develop, you must have money and resources. Currently, the only resource that Elan has available is the mithril mine, but the Alliance just discovered a giant mithril mine not long ago.
"It is no exaggeration to say that Elam's current development has completely stagnated, and has even suffered a serious setback. When it will collapse, the alliance can only think about it."
After hearing Tomedis's description of independence and his statement on Elam's current situation, Shado probably understood why he saw the so-called return of Elam in Person.
Although the return of Elamite forces that Person saw there may have been disguised by the Illuminati, the soil for the return of Elamite forces today is really too rich.
Even the plenipotentiary representatives abroad revealed such thoughts, and one can imagine the true thoughts of ordinary elves in the country.
As Tomedes just said, Elam is forced to become independent. If it is not independent, there is a high probability that it will be directly occupied by Ye Erlan. And now, even if there is a huge willingness to return in Elam, Ye Erlan is unlikely to agree.
But unfortunately, the alliance is indifferent to this.
Otherwise, Xia Duo would have seen the relevant content about the return of Elam in the alliance intelligence. Even Tomedis, the plenipotentiary representative, has the intention to return to Sruvend. The returning force must have been brewing in Elam.
.
It's just that Ye Erlan stood in the way, preventing Ellan from returning immediately. At the same time, the attitude of the top leaders of Erlan was also very ambiguous. They were dissatisfied with the current situation, but were helpless about the status quo. They were completely turning to Ye Erlan and becoming truly independent (including returning to Slu).
Wende) was hesitant.
"Isn't there an allocation from the alliance? How does it work? And the countries have already signed a new trade agreement. If you can't get food from Sluvende and Yeerlan, why don't you buy it from other countries?"
Chateau, who asked these questions, is actually not unfamiliar with the actual situation of alliance funding. The alliance has left this aspect to Ye Erlan, and it is entirely up to Ye Erlan to decide how to operate it.
The only requirement of the alliance is that large-scale famine and unrest must not occur, that all aspects of Elamite society must be stable and orderly, and that post-war reconstruction must be completed as much as possible.
The alliance only has these principled requirements. In the actual implementation process, the alliance cannot effectively supervise or supervise how Ye Erlan does it.
After all, there is no precedent for these, and the relevant laws have not yet been perfected!
Perhaps other countries also intend to use Elamite for experiments to further explore the alliance's operating model, but this will cause suffering for the Elamite people.
Thinking of this, Shado's original idea of just using Elan to lure out the Illuminati couldn't help but become more sincere.
Although the two sides have different races, they are both intelligent creatures living in the main plane. It is not a difficult decision to take a hand when you can.
Furthermore, Shado intends to lead the Northland Alliance and even the entire main plane, but leadership is not a force and needs to be achieved bit by bit in practice through cooperation with various countries.
Now is not only an opportunity to attract the Illuminati, but also an opportunity for Shado to expand his influence in the alliance and pave the way for leading the alliance in the future.
