Chapter 408 406: Only Stand on the Side of the Winner (Additional 16)
“Hehehe!”
"Hehehehehehe!"
“Hahahahahahahahahaha!”
Luo Yi first sneered, then sneered, then laughed out loud, and finally he was laughing so hard that he fell backwards and slapped the table.
Suddenly, his smile faded, and he regained his composure. He said, "Grand Duke Carlisle, you seem to seldom communicate with others on an equal footing?"
"First, they throw out sensational arguments to scare people, then use their eloquence to sow discord and confuse right and wrong.
To be honest, this negotiation skill is really low-level!"
"I'm willing to talk, but you can't treat me like a fool?"
Luo Yi's face showed undisguised sarcasm. After a pause, he continued, "Okay, since you want to do this, then I'd like to hear your opinion."
As he said this, he extended his hand in a gesture of invitation and said, "Would you like to continue?"
Grand Duke Carlisle's face turned blue and purple due to Loy's mockery. Even though the swelling hadn't gone down, one could still see that he looked ugly.
He paused for a long while before raising his hand and taking out a cigar from his dimensional bag. He cut off the tail, lit it, put it in his mouth and took a few deep puffs.
As smoke came out of his mouth and nose, obscuring his expression, he seemed to finally calm down in the hazy state.
Taking away the cigar in his right hand, Grand Duke Carlisle looked at Roy and said, "I haven't seen someone like you in a long time. You can stir up my emotions with just a few words.
So experienced, you don't look like someone of your age?"
"I'll take that as a compliment."
Grand Duke Carlisle didn't respond. He took another puff of his cigar before continuing, "I'm curious, are you really not worried at all about the Habsburg Empire's defeat?"
"Or are you so convinced that the Habsburg Empire will achieve ultimate victory?"
Having said this, he immediately added: "I know that in the eyes of some of you, the old system may represent corruption, decay and inefficiency.
I also admit that the Bonaparte Empire revealed many fatal weaknesses in this war."
"However, the old system also represents the interests of most countries, represents a rich foundation, and represents a number of powerful people beyond your imagination."
Hearing this, Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "It seems that under the current circumstances, a third-level transcendent can no longer dominate the battlefield?"
Grand Duke Carlisle: "Indeed, but the magic cannons and heavy machine guns still seem so powerless when facing the fourth-level natural disaster."
Luo Yi: “I don’t deny this, but how do you know that the Empire has no new means?
Your Warcraft Knights and Wyvern Knights have both made their debut and are very powerful, but the Empire has also taken out countermeasures such as magic aircraft, six-barreled Gatling guns, and sniper rifles.
Did you know that this is not taken out at the back? "
Grand Duke Carlisle added: "We still have enough legendary warriors.
"If a nation were to challenge the entire old aristocracy with its own strength, I don't need to tell you which side those legends who have weathered the test of time will side with, right?"
Luo Yi retorted, “But I remember that Legends are not allowed to get involved in mortal wars, right?
Violators will be severely punished!"
Grand Duke Carlisle: “But you seem to have forgotten that it is the church and the oracle of the sun god that formulates and maintains this order.
But the last thing the Church of the Sun God would tolerate is pagans, so do you think the Church and that great being above them would really sit idly by and do nothing?"
Luo Yi: "But don't forget that the state religion of the Habsburg Empire is the Seven Gods. If that person takes action, will the Seven Gods of the Empire and the Church just stand by and watch?"
As he said this, he gestured with his hand: "This is seven against one!"
Grand Duke Carlisle's face couldn't help but twitch again, and his chest rose and fell like a bellows. He had never imagined that his opponent would be so difficult to deal with.
He even raised another question: "Are you really so sure that the Habsburg Empire will win?"
This was even an outburst he couldn't refute, saying the same thing twice.
But what he didn't expect was that this time, Luo Yi actually shook his head slowly and said, "I've never been sure!"
"What did you say?"
At this moment, Grand Duke Carlisle could not hide his surprise:
Luo Yi spoke slowly: "The Empire has its own advantages. Its productivity is indeed ahead of its time. If we really were to engage in a mortal war, artillery and heavy machine guns would be able to crush the former Knights.
But, what you said makes sense!
When pushed to the limit, many powerful people will appear, natural disasters will be as numerous as dogs, legends will be everywhere, and even the church will be left alone. Those great beings above can no longer bear it.
So, I’m not sure who will win or lose!”
Grand Duke Carlisle asked in return, "If that's the case, why are you so determined to stand on the side of the Habsburg Empire?"
Luo Yi also asked back: "Which eye of yours saw that I firmly stood on the side of the Empire?"
Grand Duke Carlisle was startled when he heard this, and then said, "As far as I know, the Habsburg Empire has some of the most advanced magical weapons, processing machinery, and secret medicines, all of which were provided by your Flower Territory.
Moreover, the group you are in Auckland City even undertook most of the railway construction projects.
Doesn't this explain it?"
"What does this mean?"
Luo Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes. "This only means that the Empire gave me the order, and I provided manpower, effort, and materials to produce some products for the Empire."
"How can it be called standing in line when one hand pays the other hand for the goods?"
"By standing on the side, I either send troops directly to the war, or I make a clear declaration in the name of the Earl.
Are there any of these?"
“That’s not the case!”
Grand Duke Carlisle continued, "But didn't you accept aid from the Habsburg Empire? Are all these magical machines the technology and personnel they sent?"
"But I paid for it! I paid for all their aid. It's such a huge sum of money, so what's wrong with that?"
Grand Duke Carlisle blinked, looking a little confused and bewildered: "No, no, the situation in your Norman Duchy, you are not, not..."
"How dare you say that! A great principality must be split into two factions. Do you think we are willing to do that? Were we forced to do so?
It is not easy for us to maintain the stability and peace of the principality!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Grand Duke Carlisle waved his hand to stop Roy from speaking. He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few more puffs of his cigar, and finally sorted out his thoughts.
He only said, "You mean, the relationship between you and the Habsburg Empire is a transaction?"
"yes!"
"In other words, the products you sell to them can also be sold to us?"
"As long as the price is fair, we will never cheat anyone!"
"Even those heavy machine guns and magic cannons are like this?"
Luo Yi reached out, took out his dimensional bag, infused it with magic power, and then took out a Maxim magic heavy machine gun.
He shook it in his hand and threw it over, saying, "Isn't this what you want?"
Grand Duke Carlisle threw down his cigar in a hurry and reached out to take it. The magic firearm made of pure metal was very heavy, but also had a mechanical beauty.
Grand Duke Carlisle stroked the surface of the gun, feeling the coldness and solemnity of the steel, his expression actually showing a bit of fanaticism.
He looked up again and asked uncertainly, "Are you really willing to sell it?"
"As long as the price you offer is right!"
Luo Yi said this, as if he had thought of something again. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "However, there are some things I need to make clear first."
"I knew you would..."
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Just hear me out."
"Then tell me!"
"First of all, the production capacity of my flower company is limited, and I have to follow the Empire first. After all, their order was placed first.
If you want it, you can, but you have to queue up!"
“How long will it take exactly?”
"That depends on your orders and quantity. I am currently expanding the scale of the industrial zone and actively increasing production capacity, but this will take some time.
Of course, this refers to the latest magical weapons. If you have something a little less advanced, I still have quite a few in stock. You can use them first!"
"really?"
"It couldn't be more true! However, we have to conduct these transactions privately, quietly,
Otherwise, if the Empire finds out and makes a fuss, it will be terrible!"
"That's easy! We'll definitely be careful."
Grand Duke Carlisle felt as if he were dreaming.
His first and foremost mission on this trip was, of course, to incite the Flower Lord to rebel. It would be best if he could convince Roy to stab the Habsburg Empire in the back.
The problem is, everyone knows that this task is impossible to accomplish!
The Bonaparte Empire now lacks the absolute power to force Roy to submit.
However, in addition to the primary task, he also has a secondary task. It can even be said that this primary task is what everyone is looking forward to.
That is to obtain enough magical weapons through flowers!
Several consecutive wars served as a wake-up call for these old aristocrats, and they all woke up.
They also knew that the Knights' combat power was outdated, and that the legions equipped with magical weapons were the future.
As for people, when they get beaten and it hurts, they will think about correcting their behavior.
However, if you want to obtain magic weapons in large quantities, you have to search the entire Old World. Except for the Habsburg Empire, you can only get flowers.
Grand Duke Carlisle was forced to leave the battlefield, and when he got here, he was even beaten up in order to get Roy to sit down and have a good talk!
However, even he didn't think that this task would be completed so easily.
At this moment, Roy knew that his goal had been achieved. He said, "Grand Duke Carlisle, you just asked me, which side do the Flower Clan stand on?"
"Then I can tell you clearly now!"
"If you want me to organize an army and attack the Habsburg Empire from behind, I definitely won't be happy about it.
Likewise, if the Empire wants me to send troops to fight, I won’t agree.”
"I only stand on the side of the winner!"
Grand Duke Carlisle chewed over the words: "The winning side?"
Luo Yi continued, "I'm just a small earl, and I don't have that much ambition. Everything I do is to seek development as much as possible while maintaining the stability of the territory."
“So, I only stand on the side of the winner!”
"This is a survival strategy for our little noble."
"Also, I have a question. Why exactly? Why are you so hostile to the promotion of the magic industry?"
I have a small recommendation today, I’ll update it first!
