This way we can better understand foreign warships, and you'll have people to use them.
That's great!
"Alright! Take whichever warship you like and sail it. Once our oil wells start producing oil, I'll reimburse you for the oil."
"Ha...is that really true? Then it's settled."
"That's right! It's oil I produce myself, who else would benefit if not my own people?"
"Ha..." The CEO of Daxia laughed loudly, put his arm around my shoulder, and we returned to the island together.
I thought that once the message reached the representative of the United States, he would have to wait until tomorrow to contact me. Unexpectedly, he came to me while I was having dinner at the island lord's residence.
When the security guard reported it, I was speechless.
"Let him wait! Coming right at mealtime, what a lousy thing the Americans are doing."
I let them in after I finished eating, but I didn't let them into the house. There was a pavilion in the yard where I sat while they stood.
"Island Master Zheng!"
This time they were much more respectful than last time, with everyone bowing their heads.
We can't give these Westerners any face.
The more you take them seriously, the more arrogant they become.
How are things now? I'm keeping a straight face, and they're all behaving subserviently.
"What's the matter?"
"Well... we've already discussed it back home, and for the sake of our relationship with Gaim Island, we've decided to accept Island Master Zheng's conditions."
We want to ransom the warships you just seized, along with them.
I know why they're in such a hurry. In the last decade, the United States hasn't properly developed its shipbuilding industry.
Although their warships are relatively old, each one is a treasure. Losing one of them is a real pain, which is why they are in such a hurry to redeem them.
"The news spreads pretty fast, doesn't it? But I've changed my mind; I'll double the previous terms."
"What? Lord Zheng! You can't do this! I've already reported it."
"Whether you report it or not is none of my business. You guys are just blindly meddling with the US, haven't you thought about the consequences?"
Moreover, I can give you the people, but I'll keep the boat for myself to dismantle and play with.
"This...this..."
The representative from the United States looked more bitter than a bitter gourd.
He glanced at his watch, as if he was waiting for something.
Soon! News came from the dock that Princess Chloe of the Eagle Kingdom had arrived.
Oh! They saw that their representative wasn't up to par, so they sent Princess Chloe, who I have some connection with, to negotiate in person.
If that's the case, I really can't go too far, since Chloe and I are friends after all.
However, I still need to find the right balance.
I have to save face for them, but I can't let them think I'm someone who can't move when I see a pretty girl.
"Have the guards send ten carriages to escort the princess here!"
After I finished speaking, the representative from the United States breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that I could send a car to escort her showed that I valued Chloe.
I wonder where Chloe is and how she got here so quickly.
