The capital city of Baiwu Kingdom is not big, and the plane area is not enough, but the space area is fully utilized. There are buildings hundreds of meters high everywhere, and the entire city is covered with cursor lines and countless vehicles.
Moving at high speed along the route.
This is a very prosperous country. Xiao Kaitian is also impressed. Compared with the ancient world of cultivation, the current world of cultivation indeed has a large proportion of application of technological elements. However, he sensed that in the past, the monks who came and went were not very high.
, even the golden elixir monks are rare.
He didn't like the world of Guxiu, where an authoritarian regime existed and was so deeply rooted that it was difficult to transform it into the model he wanted.
As for the current cultivator, the Skeleton Queen incident made him not have much favorable impression of the current cultivator, and the national system over the current cultivator should be more complete.
At present, it seems that the best place to start is in a free country. Regardless of the political form of the city-state, people here generally pursue a certain degree of "freedom."
The vehicle was running very fast, going up and down, and not long after, it stopped in front of a European-style palace-like building.
When Xiao Kaitian and others got out of the car, they saw Natalie arguing with Yan Zhiping. From time to time, the two of them looked at Xiao Kaitian.
"What's going on?" Xiao Kaitian walked over, and Yan Zhiping stared at him with disgust: "Mr. Xiao, people in the know don't tell secrets. The matter of Long Xuguo's restoration is our own internal affairs.
.”
"Although Her Royal Highness the Princess has made a prior agreement with you, I don't think it is necessary for you to participate. We have enough power to restore the country and get a share of the pie. I advise you to put it away."
It turned out that this person was worried that Xiao Kaitian was fishing in troubled waters. After the restoration of the country, he took the opportunity to speak loudly. Xiao Kaitian turned his attention to Natalie: "What do you think?"
"General Yan, no matter what, I still insist on letting Xiao Kaitian participate in the meeting. From now on, I appoint him as a knight of the guard. He does not need to disarm his sword when entering the palace in the future. He is my direct minister." I don't know why, Na
Tully became tougher for a rare moment.
Yan Zhiping took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them carefully: "Her Royal Highness has just returned, so there is nothing wrong with exercising her authority. However, I think that Mr. Xiao does not understand our situation, so it is better to remain silent during the meeting."
Xiao Kaitian nodded, who knows what kind of meeting he was too lazy to attend, but when he met Natalie's pleading eyes, he didn't say anything.
This meeting has been prepared for a long time, and we have been waiting for Natalie to come back. The theme of the meeting is to negotiate an agreement for the Hundred Warriors to help Natalie recover.
The rest of the people were blocked outside. Xiao Kaitian signaled to everyone that nothing happened, and then he followed behind and slowly entered the meeting hall.
There were a group of people sitting on both sides of the long table in the meeting hall, including men, women and children. In the middle of the table was a burly middle-aged man. All of these people were wearing black and red military uniforms.
As soon as Natalie and the three came in, everyone's attention immediately focused on them. An invisible pressure came to them, and Natalie couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Dear King of Baiwu Kingdom, I am Natalie, Princess of Longxu Kingdom. I am very happy to meet you." Natalie saluted according to the etiquette standards of a free country, but the middle-aged man just waved his hand: "Sit down.
"
The middle-aged man is Dai Yuanzheng, the king of Baiwu Kingdom. On both sides are the elders of the parliament under his command. City-state politics follow a model similar to the monarch and the parliament jointly governing the country. The forces of both parties restrain each other. The king is usually the realm or the ruler.
The person with the highest management ability, and the elders of the council are the leaders of various business giants.
Xiao Kaitian could see at a glance that this system had the disadvantage of administrative procrastination, but he couldn't say it now. Looking at the ashtray in front of him, he calmly took out a cigarette and lit it, and suddenly the conference room was filled with a smell of nicotine.
the smell.
Yan Zhiping's gaze through his gold-rimmed glasses became even more contemptuous. I'm afraid this man is just a fool.
Dai Yuanzheng also frowned slightly, but his long-term cultivation controlled his emotions. He raised his chin and signaled the meeting to begin. A young man on his right began to describe the current basic situation of Long Xuguo.
There are three realms in Longxu Kingdom. Except for the capital Longxu, the other two are the northern border and the large interstellar port Pearl of the Orient. Currently, they are basically outside the control of Longxu Kingdom.
The military strength is that the regular army maintains 5,000 sergeants, and the maximum number of emergency mobilizations can reach 8,000. The leader of the rebel army, Tang Hongyun, is a monk in the Nascent Soul realm.
Compared with the Baiwu Kingdom, which normally maintains 30,000 soldiers, the Longxu Kingdom is not powerful. With the troops stationed in various realms, the actual capital of Longxu and the largest regular army will not exceed 3,000 monks.
"Since Tang Hongyun's rebellion, his rule has been extremely cruel. His martial arts require extracting the spiritual energy of monks, so now there are complaints and panic in the country."
"In terms of military comparison, our Baiwu Kingdom is superior. The only trouble is that Tang Hongyun is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. None of our generals have reached this level."
Xiao Kaitian remained calm. He was familiar with negotiation skills and knew that Baiwuguo's rhetoric was just to increase the difficulty of action, in the hope of obtaining greater profits in subsequent agreements and transactions.
Sure enough, after the spokesperson finished his statement, an elder from the Baiwu Kingdom slowly said: "This is the situation, so in this war to restore the country, our Baiwu Kingdom is willing to dispatch 8,000 elites to assist Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"For Tang Hongyun's question, among the elders of our council, we will send someone with a corresponding level," he pointed at a young man, a hint of cold arrogance flashed across his face: "To deal with him specifically."
"Overall, the balance of victory is tilted in our favor." As he spoke, the elder's eyes met Dai Zhengyuan's, who nodded slightly, and continued: "But I also hope that Her Highness the Princess understands that our actions are not free.
.”
The main event is coming, and Natalie knows it well. She will use the power of others to restore the country. She is sure that the other party will impose conditions: "Please tell me."
"Our demands are not excessive. First of all, after the restoration of the country, Longxu Kingdom will be taken over by Her Royal Highness the Princess. At the same time, in order to pursue domestic stability, we hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Yan Zhiping will get married. The marriage between the rebel army and the royal family will definitely bring stability.
The role of domestic atmosphere.”
Natalie turned to look at Yan Zhiping, whose expression remained unchanged, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
"Secondly, we hope that after the restoration of the country, Long Xuguo will provide us with a T value of 100 million every next year for a period of thirty years. Similarly, we hope that Long Xuguo will unconditionally lease the Oriental Pearl Interstellar Port Market to us for a period of the same period.
Thirty years to come.”
"This is our condition." As he said that, the elder looked at Natalie proudly.
A trace of anger flashed in Natalie's eyes. This was indeed not an excessive request, but this was simply a lion's mouth.
