Chapter 212 Four Conditions (1)
Chapter 212 Four Conditions (Part 1)
After all, the Grand Duke of Huangshi has been a monarch for many years. He knew that there was no reason for free lunch in the world. Song Ge's words really made him moved. After all, the Duke of Huangshi was thrown in his hands, and he suffered inhuman torture for several months. It was his wish to seek revenge on the Sluo Empire. But rights and obligations are always equal, and you have to pay as much as you want. Grand Duke of Huangshi is waiting for Song Ge's conditions quietly.
Song Ge looked at Huangshi and felt a little moved. The reason why he was able to negotiate conditions with a country's grand duke here today was all due to two points.
One is the cooperation between Horry and him. According to Song Ge's analysis, since Horry wants to get the Red Moon Principal out of its current embarrassing position and increase his voice in the mainland, it is definitely not possible to rely on words. The most important sign of whether a country is strong or not is the size of military power. If other countries want to recognize you, they must provide awesome or even scared power, so Horry will definitely choose a country as his test stone.
Looking at the several forces around Red Moon, Gelinglan Hongyue will definitely not touch them. Unless Horry suddenly becomes unnatural, he will fight against the strongest country on the mainland. Of course, except for the Orc Alliance, even without Song Ge, Horry will not treat wars as orcs like eating. And the dwarves and the Kingdom of Hope basically don’t care if they don’t care about it, and Horry will not be able to fight against them. The rest is the Slo Empire that replaced the Yellowstone Principality and the Rocky Empire in the southeast.
Although the Rocky Empire is not very powerful, it produces Rocky Warriors who are famous on the mainland. The army has a strong combat power. Moreover, the Rocky Empire has always been mysterious. No one knows whether they have any unknown secrets. This is also a hard bone, so Horry will not go to it, so the only one left is the Slo Empire.
On the surface, the Sloh Empire had just crippled the Duchy of Yellowstone and obtained a large area of territory. The army was strong and the national strength was strong. Behind it was the Dragon Man race with extremely powerful combat capabilities, it was stronger than the Rocky Empire. However, although the national power of Yellowstone was gradually diminishing, it was also a country. After such a huge war, the Sloh Empire suffered serious losses. Now it has to occupy a large area of land and defend the cities it can get. These all require army, so the Sloh Empire will not have too many mobile troops now.
Moreover, occupying a country is far from occupying land. There is still a lot of work to do. It is not enough to let the indigenous people accept a new leader for a day or two, and it even needs to wait for the next generation to grow up. Just like eating something, eating something is not finished, and it still needs to be digested. It may take more than ten minutes to eat a meal, but the digestion process is much longer than this. Therefore, when the Sluo Empire digests the big cake of Huangshi, it will definitely use a lot of manpower and material resources.
Moreover, the purpose of Horry's military use was to announce to the mainland that the Red Moon Principality was a powerful country and that it would enjoy equal treatment as other countries. At this time, if the Sluo army, which had just won the Yellowstone Principality, would undoubtedly have been better.
The new weapons that Horry bought from Song Geer will not be just for decoration. Their real value is on the battlefield, so Horry will definitely choose a country to take action, and the best target is the Slo Empire.
Since Song Ge guessed Hurry's goal, he just happened to be a favor and put the credit for Hongyue's dispatch of troops on himself, and as the most powerful condition to talk to Huangshi Grand Duke. It can not only help Huangshi restore the country, but also gain benefits. Why not do it?
From another perspective, if Song Ge's new weapon had not given Horri's courage, Horri might not dare to move around at all. To extend it, it can also be regarded as Song Ge's promotion of Hongyue's troops, so Song Ge is not a nonsense.
Second, Song Ge's current status and these are the fundamentals. If Song Ge is not a foreign prophet of the Orc Alliance, he would not have his own city immediately. If he does not have an army that everyone fears, then he said in front of Huangshi, "I will help you restore your country." Even if the Grand Duke of Huangshi does not treat him as a fool, he will smile contemptuously and ignore it.
But now it is different. Song Ge's identity was recognized by the Orc Alliance. He will soon build the seventh city of orcs in his own territory. He has a powerful army that uses special combat methods and cannot be defended. He has a large number of masters under his command, which represents strength. With strength, you can get respect from others, so Song Ge can dare to sit there and say to a monarch who is about to lose his country, "I will help you restore the country."
With a smile on his face, Song Ge asked slowly: "If one day I really help you restore the rule of the Duchy of Yellowstone, then I hope you can agree to me with four conditions."
The Grand Duke of Huangshi thought to himself and pointed: "Tell me."
"First, I want the mining rights of all minerals in the Duchy of Huangshi. Of course, I will give the Duchy of Huangshi 20% of the income." Song Ge put forward the first condition.
"Puff" Huangshi's grandpa spit out the Wizard of Oz that he had just drunk.
After coughing twice, the Grand Duke of Huangshi stared at Song Ge and said, "Young man, the conditions are not what you mentioned. The mineral mining rights in the country? Do you think the Duchy of Huangshi is an orc alliance? There is no way to mine if you discover a mine? Also, do you know what this means? It means that the manufacturing and military industry of the Duchy of Huangshi will be controlled by you! Young man, your appetite is too big."
This era is an era of farming and a era of cold weapons. Iron tools are inseparable from all aspects of society. Iron tools come from there, and they are extracted from the iron ore of mines. The mines of each country are controlled by the royal family of the country and some great nobles. It can be said that these are the lifeline of the country. The Grand Duke of Huangshi naturally would not agree to Song Ge's conditions.
Song Ge smiled and said softly: "Where is the Duchy of Huangshi...?"
The Grand Duke of Huangshi was stunned by the question and it took him a long time to report it.
Yes, where is the Duchy of Yellowstone now? Maybe it won’t take long before this name will disappear from the mainland.
"If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Grand Duke, if Huangshi cannot restore the country, those minerals are from the Sluo Empire. You can't get anything. If you give it to me, it will not only help you restore the country, but also give you one-fifth of the income. I think it's already very cost-effective." Song Ge smiled on his face, but this smile made Grand Duke Huangshi feel very hateful.
The Grand Duke of Huangshi frowned tightly, obviously this made him very embarrassed. If he accepted it, Huangshi would do things according to Song Ge's expression. If he refused, Song Ge turned his back and the hope of restoring the country that had finally appeared would be shattered again.
Song Ge was also a little nervous at this time. If the Grand Duke of Huangshi did not agree, then the Red Moon Principality would still send troops to Sluo after a period of time, and then the conditions that would attract Huangshi the most would no longer exist. He would not get any benefits.
Grand Duke Huangshi thought for a long time before sighing: "Young man, your conditions are really unacceptable." He paused and continued: "Let's do this, we cooperate to mine minerals, half of each person, this is my bottom line. If you don't agree, then forget it."
Restoring the country is indeed important, but it doesn’t mean to be strangled after success. The Grand Duke of Huangshi took a small step.
"Maybe my conditions are a little harsh, so I still have to have exclusive mining rights, but it is fifty years. After fifty years, I will return all the minerals in Huangshi." Song Ge would not agree to Huangshi's joint mining proposal. When cooperation, there will definitely be many conflicts between the two parties that cannot be resolved. It would be better to have a time limit and have the final say in this period of time, which is a compromise.
Fifty years were not something Song Ge said casually, but were calculated. After this war, all aspects of the country were severely damaged. If you want to restore your national strength, you need to have a long period of rest and recuperation. According to the current average development speed of mainland countries, it will take at least fifty years for the Huangshi Principal to restore its national strength. When the Huangshi Principal has the strength, Song Ge has already gone away, and they can't find any trouble.
The Grand Duke of Huangshi was silent. It was obvious that Song Ge's new proposal made him feel that it was not that difficult for him to accept.
"For a country, fifty years is not long, and I promise that it will give priority to the Duchy of Huangshi. The price is better than the market. Dagong, isn't it cost-effective to exchange for a brand new principality for fifty years of mining rights? In fact, to put it bluntly, I can't help you for nothing. I want to get benefits, but can you give me a huge amount of money now? No, you and your subordinates don't have money, so what can I give me? Mining is just a way to give me some rewards." Song Ge continued to see the Grand Duke of Huangshi hesitation.
The Grand Duke of Huangshi smiled bitterly. Fifty years of mining rights have been replaced with a brand new country? This is just the first condition, and there are three more.
"Okay, as long as you guarantee priority supply to our Duchy of Yellowstone, what if I hope the price is two-thirds of the market price?" Huangshi Grand Duke Nai agreed to restore the country, which was so attractive to him.
"No problem!" Song Ge agreed readily, but he shouted in his heart that Huangshi's great master was doing the trick. You should know that mining also has costs. It not only requires advanced technology, but also a lot of manpower and material resources. Once the price drops by one third, after deducting the cost, Song Ge doesn't have much left, although this is not much, it is an astronomical figure. However, Song Ge doesn't care, because Huangshi's great master cannot buy all the minerals. Even if he wants to buy it, he can say that he has no more.
"What about the second one?" Grand Duke Huangshi felt that his heart was beating irregularly, and he didn't know what harsh conditions this foreign prophet would give.
