Chapter 90 Diplomacy
"If you decide, go to Ukraine!" I looked at the crystal coin and decided.
"No!" Two voices sounded behind me at the same time.
I turned around and looked at them. Unexpectedly, it was Su Mei and Xiao Chun!
"Why can't you go to Ukraine?"
Sumi walked over and pointed to the map on the wall. "There is indeed no hostile country by land, but she will encounter a large number of people!"
"What's wrong with someone?"
Xiaochun took over the topic and said: "Humans are very complex creatures, and you cannot understand human thinking! Moreover, taking land must involve contacting a large number of people, and the probability of friction with these people is much higher than the probability of friction with the British!"
Sumei nodded and agreed with Xiaochun's statement, adding: "According to my estimate, it will take about five to seven days to enter Germany by land. And after entering Germany, we are just a few ordinary foreign players!"
Xiaochun snatched the words again. "With weak countries have no diplomacy, so our Temple of Light will never give those low-level forces any good faces. So when we secretly walk on land, we will only become fat in the eyes of others. Once we are found out that we are from a foreign country, they will find opportunities to attack us and try to get some benefits!"
Su Mei spoke again: "So we not only have to go on the sea, but also have to make a big fuss. We send a notice to countries along the way on the forum, saying that it is a friendly visit, and everyone who dares to come out to make trouble will be killed! Also, don't hide the surprise attack on Indonesia, just admit it publicly, there is nothing to cover up! The modesty of the Chinese people is not good in Europe. What we need here is to say that there are ten. If you shake out the power, you will naturally respect you! When our country's two bombs and one satellite were successful, the international political situation changed immediately. Now that we admit the attack on Indonesia, it will be more beneficial than disadvantages to our trip to Europe!"
I gave two little girls one by one Baoli. I said to Xiaochun: "You are no longer a member of the Temple of Light. Don't use any words like our Temple of Light in the future!" I turned to Su Mei: "Your point of view is very correct, but don't treat Indonesians as fools. In addition, although Britain has become a second-rate power in the world, its foundation is there, so don't think of them as sick cats!"
"Then what do you mean?" Xiaochun looked at me expectantly.
"Why do you care so much about me? Didn't you do it against me just now?"
"I don't care about you, I'm afraid you will be compensated by you if you choose the wrong way!"
"Tsk! I thought you've changed!"
Su Mei couldn't help but urge her to ask, "Where are you going?"
"I really want to leave Ukraine, but after listening to your analysis, I think it's safer to leave Gibraltar. It's great to fight a war with Britain than to fall into the quagmire of war in Ukraine! Besides, it's easy to deal with when I go, but when I come back, it's hard to bring millions of troops to cross the mountains and play, right?"
"I knew you would listen!" Su Mei extended her thumb.
I interrupted her: "What should I do with the forum? Are you going or I going?"
"Of course you go! I came up just because I forgot to tell you the route problem when I was offline. Now I still have to continue to sleep! Deficiency of sleep is not good for the skin! Besides, you are the president, it is better for you to post the issues you negotiate with!"
"Okay! I'll just go!"
Sumi went offline to rest again, and I went directly to the World Regional Forum to start posting. In order to increase the sensational effect, I first publicly believed in the attacks in Indonesia last night! In order to improve the persuasion, I posted the actual battle recorded last night. My video was taken on a boat, and others could tell at a glance that it would be impossible to get a video from this angle unless it was a person in the fleet! After the video was posted, I later revealed that we are a private armed force from China, and we will make a friendly visit to Germany in Europe, and hope that the countries along the way will provide convenience!
This post was overwhelmed just thirty minutes after it was posted, and what made me most happy was that I actually received responses from German players! Large guilds usually have people who are responsible for watching the forum, and of course there are German guilds. The first one I received was a response from a leading guild in Germany. The name of the guild should be translated into Chinese - Iron Crusader. The president of this guild hopes to have a meeting with me! But now I am at sea, and chat tools are impossible to use! There is a chat room in the forum, but that thing needs players to use it on the shore! Finally, we decided to meet at noon. At that time, we should go to Sri Lanka and just dock to hold a meeting there!
After the Germans left, the British and French also came. The French's opinion was that as long as we did not cause trouble, France would not provoke it! The British were unexpectedly quite polite, saying that they hoped that we would also visit the UK! There was obvious excessive enthusiasm, so there would be no fraud, right?
After leaving the forum, I asked the fleet to speed up the sailing. Before noon, I saw Sri Lanka. I did not let the fleet dock, but flew to the shore by myself. The fleet continued to move forward, and I chased after myself. After getting ashore, I looked for a hotel first. The hotel opened by the system was easier to find. With the surprise eyes of people around me, I rushed into the hotel directly, booked a private room and quickly went upstairs. Once the private room gate was closed, you could log in to the forum.
There is a fee to build a multinational chat room, but Iron Crusaders said that they built a room and I didn’t argue with them! Enter the forum to search for the chat room name that was stated in advance, and it was indeed built. This room was set up to allow only people with specific nicknames to enter, and this specific person is me.
After finding it, I chose to connect it. The pure text forum suddenly changed the picture and turned into a three-dimensional space in the game. The room is quite large and the layout inside is super simple. A circle of chairs is placed around the long table, which is a typical conference room decoration!
When I came in there were already three people in the room, all of whom sat on one side of the table and left the other side to me.
"Hello! My name is Ashufude, President of the Iron Crusader!" A young man of about the same age as me came over. He stretched out his hand to me to show his friendship. After I held him and he began to introduce the two people next to him. "This is my vice president, McFarron, this is my religious affairs chief Messett (a person in charge of communicating with the temple where he belongs, and usually works as a staff officer as a part-time staff member)!"
"Hello, my name is Zi Ri, the president of China Frost Rose Alliance!"
The three people in front of him were all very young, and they all looked extraordinary. Ashufude and I were of the same type, they were quite delicate. Not that he was small and this guy was over 1.8 meters tall. He said he was delicate because his face was thin and quite beautiful, and his race seemed to be a white elf (the forum chat room was logged in using the character style in the game). The white elf's unique white skin color and his long golden hair all gave people a sense of beauty. With his blue eyes, he really didn't look like a man!
McFarlon is quite exaggerated. This guy is nearly two meters tall, strong like a rhino, his arms are almost as thick as my legs. His brown eyes and short yellow hair give people the feeling of two words - barbaric! Although the characters entering the forum chat room only have a loose unified robe, I am sure McFarlon's race is a barbarian, and his profession must be a berserker, and his weapons are probably inseparable from the category of heavy weapons!
Messett is the shortest among the three, about 1.7 meters tall, and is also delicate. His short blue hair and blue eyes look energetic. He is the most handsome among the three. As long as he is not too shy, he probably won’t be missing!
"Isn't anyone telling you that it's rude to stare at a girl's face?" Messet suddenly spoke and scared me. Although the sound was no longer correct after the translation system, men and women can still distinguish it! Unexpectedly, Messet was actually a tomboy, and I thought the three of them were all men!
"Sorry! Beautiful things always make people unconsciously tracing!" I wouldn't tell her stupidly that I treat her as a man! There is no difference between speaking like this in front of a girl and committing suicide!
"Then let's sit down and talk?" Ashufude pulled us all to the table. After everyone sat down, Ashufude said first: "I won't go around the corner with you. It's not a German habit to beat around the bush! I want to know why you came to Germany this time? The national war seems to be too early, and you don't seem to be here to fight!"
"That was then! Although the relationship between China and Germany is not considered intimate, there is absolutely no hostility! I came here this time to actually complete a task, saying a friendly visit is just to say hello first to avoid an unexpected battle!"
Messeite said, "That means that you are actually not here with us German players, but are looking for NPC?"
"It's almost the same! Of course, if we have anything to cooperate with, I don't mind more communication!"
Méckfalon stood up and said, "Since you don't want to fight with us, I'll leave first. I'm not good at talking about business!" He disappeared on the spot without waiting for us to express his opinion!
Messett said: "Don't be surprised. This is how Burke Fallon looks like. He is more straight and can't turn! You know, most of the people in our country have this personality!"
"Yeah! Understand and understand!"
Ashufude tapped the table gently and said, "When it comes to business, I really have some business to talk to you!"
"Oh? What business?"
"You have Chinese gunpowder manufacturing technology?"
"Yeah! Yes, yes, but I won't sell it! You are also a smart person, you should know the reason!"
"I understand, but what if I exchange things from the same level?" Seeing my puzzled expression, Ashufude continued to explain: "We have a new technology that can get tasks. The specific purpose is to make big things float up!"
"You mean you can create a large amount of floating objects on the water?"
"It's a floating object, but not a floating object on the water." Ashufude smiled strangely.
"Isn't it a floating object on the water? Could it be..." I covered my mouth in surprise. "You mean floating technology? Can you build air boats?"
Ashufude didn’t answer and I just continued to smile, which was equivalent to affirming my guess!
"Can you really build airships? Such good technology is just used to exchange for Chinese gunpowder secret recipes, right?" Foreign countries are not without gunpowder, but their power is not as powerful as China. Ashufude's use of absolute advantage technology to exchange my gunpowder technique seems to be a loss-making deal!
"I won't get the price wrong! In fact, our technology has defects, that is, the airboat we built cannot move! Although we have experimented many times, we have no choice but to take off the airboat but can only do vertical movement. In order to move it, we even used people to pull on the ground. However, the airboat seemed to be locked by something and did not move horizontally at all! The only way to move it is to turn off the buoyancy device. As soon as the buoyancy generator is started, the airboat will be fixed immediately and unable to move at all!"
Messett added: "We are just putting airships in the city now, and when we are defending the city, there is no use in everything else!"
"A airship that cannot be moved? That's not worth much!"
"Although it cannot be moved, it is still very useful!" Ashufude said: "We use magic crystals as power, so the cost is a little more expensive. But theoretically, as long as there are enough magic crystals, the entire city can be raised into the air!"
"What? Can the city rise?" I began to be moved. If I could let Aisinger float in the air, even if he couldn't move, it would be enough to have a sky city!
"I agree to the exchange. Let's talk about the specific matters when I meet in Germany?"
"Of course there is no problem!"
"By the way, there is another question! Can you represent the opinions of players in the entire Germany?"
Ashufude said confidently: "Although the Iron Crusader is not considered to dominate Germany, he can compete with us for only one or two guilds!"
"That's good! I don't want to contact several forces separately! That's how things are. I'll say goodbye first!"
After leaving the forum chat room, I went back to the private room of the hotel. Without going through the door, I pushed the window and jumped out. The meeting was not long and the fleet had not yet gone far, so I quickly chased after it. The King of Chuang was already online, and he was really an energetic guy!
After explaining the route and other matters to the King of Chuang, I got off the line first. It’s not interesting to stay on the sea all the time!
After I went offline, I went around the base and moved my body. I went online once in the evening, and nothing happened. There were small countries along the way, and there were quite a few ships, not many big enough! I met them all. The boats more than ten meters long were similar to models next to the Biling! Those who were brave all stopped the boat and got off the anchor immediately when they saw us, for fear of being overturned by our waves. The timid ones were so scared that they ran away when they saw us like us. How could they dare to get close to us?
After I went offline again, I went to the laboratory to ask about b13. It would be good for me to learn more about b13! When I went online again in the morning, I was startled! I thought the fleet had entered the Mediterranean, but what I saw was completely different from what I thought!
It is already dawn in China now, but due to the jet lag, it is still early in the morning. The sky is just a little white, but with the help of this faint light, you can barely see the surrounding situation! The Biling stops at a estuary similar to a river. The hull is still a little crooked, and the bow of the ship is raised high, and the deck is slanted! The river under the hull is only more than 100 meters wide, and the Biling is tilted here almost blocking the entire river! There are already more than 30 warships in the river in front of us, but most of the warships are still in the Red Sea behind the Biling. The river banks on both sides are full of people, one of my crew members, and the other seems to be local players!
After searching around, he didn't see the King of War or other players, so he had to ask the crew next to him. "Where did the first mate go? Call him over!"
"The first mate is in the bottom cabin, and you may not be able to come here now. How about I call the second mate for you?" asked the crew member.
"That's fine!"
The second mate was on the river bank below, and he quickly climbed up. "Captain! Please look for me!"
"What's going on? Why is it stopping here? It's not that the Biling was stranded, right?" The warship was so wrong. The only thing I could think of was that the warship was stranded, but I still hoped that I guessed wrong!
"Yes!" The second mate said to me completely despaired! "The fleet arrived here three hours ago!" The second mate pointed it at me on the chart I carried with me. "Senger River! It is the one in front of us!" (The place name I mentioned yesterday was based on the real place name, which is convenient for everyone to see. The place names in the game are different. The Senger River is the Suez Canal)
I looked at the chart. This is the location of the Suez Canal in reality. The game was changed to a natural river, and even the name was changed! "Are we here?"
"Yes!" The second deputy replied!
It seems that we are stranded at the mouth of the Red Sea of the Senger River!
"Why is it stranded? Didn't Rona say that the Suez Canal is deep enough?"
“Suez Canal?”
"Oh! It's the Senger River!" He was anxious to shout out the place name in reality!
"According to our observation, it seems that it is not because of the river itself!" said the second deputy: "In the morning, Commander of the King of Breakthrough went downstairs to ask the locals. It seems that a battle had just happened here, and a relatively large warship had sunk in the river! So the depth that could have been passed was now unable to pass because of the shipwreck!"
"Then what are you doing now?"
"The first mate said to pull the Biling back to the deep waters of the Red Sea first, and then find a way to get the wreck away!" The second mate suddenly looked up and said, "The first mate is here!"
When I saw that it was my first mate who was back. "Captain, you are here!"
"Well! The second deputy told me what happened, how is your plan going?"
"Some troublesome! The Biling crashed into the bottom of the ship in the collision just now, and did not sink because we were already stranded! But it would be hard to say if it was dragged back into the deep water! I am organizing people to repair the damaged area! I will be able to drag it when the hole is blocked and then drain the accumulated water!"
"Can't the Luna Badge on the ship automatically repair the hull?"
"But there was no moon last night!"
Dizzy! I forgot about this. It rained here last night. Where did the dark clouds come from? Finally, the rain stopped and it was dawn!
“How long will it take to repair the ship?”
"About 3 hours! Including drainage and tugboat, it will probably take ten o'clock to start clearing the barriers!"
"This is not OK, it's too slow! Go and ask the fleet to start tug the boat now and pull the Biling out first."
"But there is a hole in the hull!"
"Where is the entrance?"
"It's a big hole in the speedboat cabin on the bottom floor!"
"Really! The speedboat cabin has a waterproof door! Close the water door and pull it out directly. The speedboat cabin cannot sink! As soon as the Biling is dragged out, the sailor will immediately rotate underwater operations to repair the cabin. When the water is accumulated, it will be discharged slowly when you have time. Anyway, it will not affect the navigation! Quickly, start tug now, and I will solve the obstacles!"
The first mate immediately executed the order to take the sailor to hang the ropes. Fortunately, we have more warships. Although the Biling is big, it can still be dragged! More than thirty ropes are put on the stern of the boat. The Biling is slowly pulled into the Red Sea from the canal. A few bubbles have been flipped on the water surface, and some broken wood pieces floated up. It seems that they are from the wrecked ship below!
Chapter completed!
