Four Hundred and Eighteen Possibilities of Cooperation
"To be honest, our assistance to the elves is free of charge... In this case, it is naturally not the same as the assistance to the dwarves." Chris held the wine glass and shook his head to the elves' envoy Falai.
This is the second time he has rejected the elves' request to raise the standard of assistance. Just when the banquet started, he rejected a similar request from the elves.
At that time, Falai, the emissary of the elves, hoped that Alan Hill could provide the elves with some necessary production equipment and building materials.
Although the elves are friendly to nature, they are not primitive societies, nor do they live in tree houses and use leaves as clothes.
They still have some light and even heavy industries of their own. The warriors of the elves also wear armor, they also have their own castles, and they also have their own national systems and laws.
Of course, they are more friendly to nature, so the buildings also support the system. The appearance of their buildings is not the same as that of human beings. In a sense, they are full of natural aesthetics.
Having traveled long distances, these elves now have almost nothing. Most of their castles were destroyed in the war, and the only thing that followed them was the huge tree of life.
There is no place to live, and there is no way to continue smelting and supplementing their living utensils, and there is also no textile tools to supplement their clothes. The reconstruction work of the elves is almost impossible.
Although Alan Hill and Greken provided them with some tents and daily necessities, these things were really a drop in the bucket for the millions of people in the entire elves.
What makes the elves even more depressing is that there is no harm without comparison, and their former allies, the dwarves, have gotten a lot more than they got.
These dwarves have even started the reconstruction work, and everything is in order, because Alan Hill also provides advanced computing support such as co-ordination, which makes the whole reconstruction work more efficient with less effort.
Therefore, under the premise that there is no other way, Farai has just asked Chris again, hoping that Alan Hill will increase its assistance to the elves. They need to settle their own people before they can start production. Although the elves are theoretically not short of food, they still need other things.
"We can trade food for it...but we need to be in arrears for a few months." Falley offered a compromise. Elves can manipulate plants in a friendly way, so they can always get a bigger harvest with less land.
But now, in an era when all walks of life in the empire are short of supplies, exchanging food for more things is not particularly cost-effective for Ailan Hill.
A large amount of materials squeezed the production capacity, and Chris did not want the iron ore he mined to be produced into pots and pans to help others.
"Perhaps, it is easier for us to establish a relationship of trust by cooperating for mutual benefit." Chris thought for a while, looked at Falae and said, "The elves can send their own magicians to Alan Hill, Serving the agriculture of Ireland Hill."
"We also hope that you can provide more magical technical support in environmental protection, animal protection, and environmental transformation." He shook the wine glass in his hand and continued: "These magics in Alan Hill. Teacher, we will provide living allowances and pay them wages, which can also ease the current reconstruction pressure of the elves."
"This is really a good idea." After hearing Chris's suggestion, Farley was also very interested in this plan: "I can accept this plan, and I personally would even be willing to work at Ailan Hill immediately in exchange for Ailan Hill's support."
"Of course, if the elves are willing to cooperate on a deeper level, then we are still willing." Chris saw that the other party no longer thought about the unrealistic thing of reaching out and taking things for nothing, so he was willing to talk to the other party more. Sentence: "The specific cooperation depends on the abilities of the elves in these areas."
In fact,
Chris also hopes to win over some elves and do something to improve the environment of Alan Hill.
In his opinion, the elves can make the forest grow more rapidly, which means that Alan Hill has more wood.
More greenery can also improve the air quality in Ireland Hill, which is also an important initiative for the benefit of the people.
And then there's Chris' space program, which includes an experiment in using elves to grow oxygen-producing vegetation in outer space -- an experiment so important that part of the hope for continued survival in outer space falls on this experiment.
If you count the benefits brought by the increase in agricultural production, in fact, the super farmers of the elves are still very useful.
Of course, all of this has a necessary premise, that is, the elves must serve Alan Hill sincerely under the control of Alan Hill!
"Your Majesty, if, I mean, if we are willing to dispatch an army to fight for you, are you willing to pay some fees for this?" Falei suddenly asked another topic that the elf executives were more concerned about.
Although the elves are already vulnerable to a battle, this race, which is almost all soldiers, can still form a large army.
As long as Alan Hill is willing to provide supplies for this army, they can still defeat many opponents - at least, against magic empires such as puppet empires, that is no problem at all.
And what the elves are thinking about is that, in this way, they can not only support an army, but also get some rent for renting this army, which is a typical multi-pronged action.
In fact, there are also some hawks in the elves who are unwilling to admit defeat and are willing to keep fighting, but they have suffered heavy losses now and their momentum is not as strong as before.
How to arrange this part of the pure soldiers, the elves high-level is also a headache, they hope that Alan Hill can make use of these people, by the way to exchange more benefits for the elves.
But Chris was reluctant to pay for a group of other forces' armies himself. This kind of thing is actually very difficult to handle, it will easily affect the relationship between the two parties, and it will also cause confusion.
One more important thing is that Chris now has no shortage of troops who can fight well. His army is now almost invincible, and there is no need to support an alien army whose actual combat strength is not much stronger than his army.
"I think this matter needs to be discussed carefully before it can be decided. I personally feel that the current battlefield situation is very beneficial to Ireland Hill. Our enemies are losing ground, and we have taken the initiative in each theater. This situation Next..." Chris shook his head and said, "It's totally unnecessary to continue to increase investment in the front line."
He just finished his televised speech. In the new year, the focus of Ailan Hill's work has shifted to the research and development of new technologies and people's livelihood.
If not, Chris would not have to rush to find the elves to improve the environmental conditions of Alan Hill, and would be willing to pay a fee for it.
This is the next focus of Ireland Hill's work, and it is also the beginning of the country's gradual return to normalcy.
Just yesterday, after it was basically confirmed that the dwarves would join Alan Hill, Chris drew up a plan to reduce the total number of Alan Hill's army from 10.32 million to 9.55 million!
The soldiers recruited by the disbanding were the first time in the past year and a half that Ailan Hill had reduced the total force to less than 10 million.
At the same time, this was also the first time that Ailan Hill took the initiative to disarm part of the soldiers and let the soldiers return to their hometowns.
In addition, Chris also decided to let 1 million veterans who have served for more than two years take turns to go home to rest for half a year in the next month!
These benefits were accompanied by a series of livelihood policies introduced by Ailan Hill, which made the entire empire immersed in ecstasy. The common people's love for His Majesty the Emperor is unprecedentedly high, and almost everyone is singing the praises of this unprecedented great empire.
In such a big environment, Chris didn't think it was necessary to spend money to hire wizards from the elf tribe to make trouble on the front lines.
When Farai heard Chris say this, although he had guessed the answer before, he still felt a little regretful.
"Well, if Your Majesty needs this, we can talk about cooperation again." He considered it for a while, nodded and accepted the reality. Then he tasted the mellow and high-quality red wine, changed the subject and praised: "This wine is really good, we also have fruit wine, but although the taste is more natural, it does not have such an impressive feeling."
"If you like, I can give you some privately." Chris doesn't mind a little generosity at this time.
Falai shook his head with a smile, and refused: "If you want, I would prefer to exchange these precious drinks with materials of equal value and give them to our entire elves."
"Hahaha, Mr. Falley is really a good manager who cares about his family." Chris laughed, then drank the wine from the glass, and then said with a smile: "I will give you the wine, not only one for you. I have to send one to Her Majesty. As for the equivalent materials, Mr. Farai can bring back the elves when you leave the banquet.”
Although these red wines are not cheap, they are not rare wines. So Chris can give it away in an understatement without feeling distressed at all.
For the elves, one truckload of bread and two truckloads of bread are a drop in the bucket, and there is no real difference at all.
Hearing what Chris said, Falley also laughed and raised his glass: "Then I will thank Her Majesty for her generosity on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen."
---------
The other two will be in the middle of the night, so you can watch it tomorrow morning.
