Twenty Seven Years Chapter 315

  Chapter 315 Innocent Brecy

  May 16, evening

  Laizein, government buildings, presidential office

  Francois once again secretly met Selivanovich, the ambassador of the Bash Empire to the Republic of Brescia.

  Compared to the modest and cautious meeting a week ago, Selivanovich seemed much more confident in his second visit, and he was confident about this conversation.

   "You came to me so soon, you must have prepared a satisfactory answer." Francois smiled and looked at Selivanovic who sat down opposite him after saluting.

   "Yes, Your Excellency the President." Selivanovich said.

   "Let's talk about it." Francois felt that Selivanovich was full of confidence in this conversation, and couldn't help but wonder what method they found to promote the alliance between the Republic of Bresci and the Bash Empire.

  Selivanovich unhurriedly took out a map from his briefcase, opened it and placed it between the two of them: "Please take a look."

  Francois raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the world map.

"If nothing else happens, when Wellland goes to war with us, he will land and control Nile all the way, and use a powerful navy to block Bash all the way, and Briesi's army will play an assisting role in this war. After all, our Bash has an incomparably long coastline, even if Welland is sitting on the most powerful fleet in the world, we still need to combine your forces to completely suppress us at sea." Selivanovich analyzed If there is no change during the period, the battle situation will appear later.

   His analysis hits the mark, but that doesn't surprise François.

  Welland's navy is unmatched in the whole world, and if they want to control Nile, they must land on Nile. It is inevitable for them to make such an arrangement.

   What really matters is, how will Bash deal with the seemingly incomprehensible and oppressive force?

"At that time, although Wellland will not go all out, he will also send a large number of troops to the coastal waters of Nile and Bash to defeat us and maintain the status of the world's hegemony. Under this situation, Wellland's interior is bound to emptiness-"

   "It is impossible for us to attack Welland, the risk is too great." Before Selivanovich could finish speaking, Francois interrupted and vetoed this possibility.

  If the solution proposed by Selivanovich today is to let Blessie attack Welland, then there is no need to talk about it.

  Because there is only one possibility for Brexi to attack Wellland, that is, Wellland gives up his interests in Nile, and the army returns to confront Brexi **** for tat.

  François would not be so stupid as to use the whole Brecy to attract firepower for Bash.

"Of course, this will not do you any good, and it will also appear that Bash is too insincere to come here this time." Selivanovich shook his head, and his slender fingers slid to Castelia, which is adjacent to Brecy. On the Empire, "Bressy must not attack Welland...but he can attack Castelia."

   "Why?" asked François.

"We understand your cautiousness. In other words, we will not easily turn against a powerful country like Willand, so the best way is to break out of war between Briesi and Castelia, and withdraw the expedition in a legitimate name. Just the army. This will not only help us Bash relieve the pressure, but also make sense on Welland's side." Selivanovich said.

Francois vaguely feels that this matter has a little feasible prospect: "If Bresci takes the initiative to start a war with Castellana at this juncture, then everyone will know what our purpose is, so only Cass It was only when Tria initiated the conflict that it all became logical and there was nothing wrong with it.”

"Yes, we have also taken this into consideration." Selivanovich continued to talk about their plan, "Maybe you also know something. There was friction at the border between the Castelian Empire and the Sdar Kingdom. To Ma Territorial disputes exist in the western region. After the war between Bash and Wellland, the Kingdom of Stearl, which has our support, will send troops to the Marcy region at the same time, and the Marcy region is only separated from the Jose County of the Brecy Republic by one province. After the scale of the war escalates, the flames of war will inevitably spread to the past, so Bresey has a reason to intervene in this war and send troops to maintain regional stability."

   "Okay..." Francois couldn't help but softly praised the plan of the Bash Empire.

  The Bash Empire fully considered the situation of Bresci this time. Although Bresci's frequent appearances were inevitable in the plan, it did not directly allow it to directly conflict with any country.

  According to Bash's arrangement, it is very reasonable for Bresey to intervene in the conflict between Castellan and Sder and to withdraw troops from the war between Bash and Welland.

Castellan will not be dissatisfied with Bresi's involvement in the war, because after all, Bresi's territory has been affected, and the other party will help the Masi region restore peace in the name of maintaining regional stability, which is beneficial to them benefit.

  Whelan was dissatisfied with Bresci's withdrawal and would not say anything on the surface, because he helped him attack Bash and Bresci's own land was threatened by war, and Bresci would definitely choose to protect himself. This is a choice that any country would make. Their expression of dissatisfaction will only be redundant enough to make allies feel selfish.

   "However, there is one more critical issue." After admiring François, he had strong expectations for the benefits he could obtain from the alliance with Bash.

   "You want to know the benefits of Brecy, right?" Selivanovich knew what Francois was thinking, "I want to know the benefits of your cooperation with Welland first?"

   "No good." Francois said.

  This statement is half true and half false.

   There are benefits, such as the support of Welland when the monarchy is restored, but these benefits are relatively minimal.

Bresey is willing to join forces with Welland, the main reason is that they only need to send troops to fight soy sauce, they can help Wellland a lot, and they can also divert internal conflicts, easily support Shennai to take a share in the eastern region, and maintain the world structure. balance.

   These are not important if they are important, and they are important if they are not important.

   It was also in consideration of this point that Francois was willing to hear what greater benefits Selivanovic could give on behalf of Bash a week ago.

   And Selivanovic also adheres to the principle that "the insecurity of the alliance between Bresci and Wellland is the solid foundation of the alliance between Bresci and Bash", and he is 80% sure of obtaining Bresci's support.

"Is there no benefit?" Whether it is true or Francois is unwilling to say, he will definitely not be able to ask the answer he wants to know more after answering this way. Selivanovich directly talked about the alliance with Bash What can it bring to Blaise, "Then cooperate with us, Bash, and you will definitely not be disappointed. I want to ask you a question first, which country do you think is the most powerful in the world today?"

   "Willand." Francois blurted out without thinking.

   "Do you want Bracey to take Welland's place?"

  Francois just smiled back this time.

"Without your support, Wellland will not be able to effectively prevent the development of our Bash in the eastern region, and the plan to seize benefits in the Nile will also fail, and the international influence will inevitably decline. And Bracey successfully solved the Castel The dispute between Leah and Stall has maintained peace in the western region, and its international influence will inevitably increase." Selivanovich said, "Although Bresey participated in many wars at that time, not only did he not fight with Bash, Welland, Castelia, and Stall turned against each other, and helped many of them. It not only established a solid image of a friendly big country, but also weakened Welland, helped us Bash, and brought a new balance to the world pattern. ..."

  The smile on Francois's face became more and more intense.

"All this can be achieved without a single soldier, as long as Brecy goes out to show the army." Selivanovich said, "I think this must be more tempting than the conditions offered by Welland. People are more cost-effective.”

   "What if Castelia and Sidr didn't fight, or the flames of war didn't spread?" Francois asked.

"Then you should assume that the alliance with Bash has failed, and you can continue to join the expedition with Wellland on the surface." Selivanovich said generously, "This plan is nothing but beneficial to you. Harm, no matter what happens, no matter what happens to us in Bash, Blessie can remain invincible. I think this is enough for you to see our sincerity."

   "Oh." Francois chuckled lightly, not in a hurry to express his opinion, first poured a cup of coffee for himself and Selivanovich, and then drank slowly.

   Selivanovic waited patiently for Francois to express his position.

  He knew that François had no reason to refuse to cooperate with Bash, and the mighty Willand was no longer the only choice for Blessie.

  Francois now showed a hesitant and thoughtful look, either to reap more benefits, or to pretend that his defection was not so despicable and shameless.

  May 16, late at night

  Kip City, warehouse temporary site

   After having dinner with the workers at the Nak Weaving Factory, Verac and Winston returned to the warehouse as usual and talked with Keating and others.

   "How is it with Catherine?" Verak laughed and joked as soon as he saw Nord's figure when he went back.

   "Go, go, what are you talking about?" The panicked Nord hurriedly gestured for silence, and lowered his voice, "Don't let people hear you!"

   "What's the matter?" Verak lowered his voice tactfully.

   Seeing that no one was on the second floor, Nord guessed that Catherine, who was working on the first floor, hadn't heard Veraker's words. After a sigh of relief, she smiled and said two words coyly: "It's okay."

   "What's okay?" Verak hammered Nord's shoulder, "Be careful."

   "It's just that we get along well, and I think it's funny." Nord's smile couldn't be covered, and he grinned an ugly and cute smile.

   "Let me tell you, you can't just think about this kind of thing, you have to consider other people's feelings from the perspective of others." Verak urged.

  As soon as Verac educated himself, Nord immediately rolled his eyes: "You old bachelor still come to teach me?"

   "Old, old..." Verak didn't expect that one day he would be called 'old'.

"I'm going to be twenty-seven soon. I haven't even held the hand of a lesbian, and I'm teaching me here without shame." With a little pride and disdain, Nord pushed Verak away, and waited with Keating. People sat at the conference table and waited for the meeting.

   "This kid..." Verak smiled and went to sit down.

   "How is your side? I heard that the preparations are done today, and production will resume tomorrow?" Keating asked about the situation at the factory.

  Winston has been doing research day and night recently, and his eyesight has deteriorated severely, so he specially bought a pair of glasses for this. He habitually pushed his glasses and said: "Yes, the preparations are all done. In the evening, we will have dinner together in the cafeteria and do pre-production mobilization. It will depend on tomorrow's performance."

   "Confidence?"

"It's hard to say now. I have to wait until the first day of production tomorrow, so I can have a specific number in my heart." It is difficult for Winston to describe his mood at this moment. He is nervous, expectant, worried and calm. How does he feel about the result? I can accept it myself.

   If it succeeds, then promote it.

   Unsuccessful, continue to improve!

"Except for the workers' night school that needs more professional teachers, is there anything else our club school can help with?" Now that the club school has a large number of people, Keating has a lot of power at his disposal. He has this Ability to help the factory run to a greater extent.

"There is nothing that needs help, it is up to us now." Verak shook his head, they are progressing smoothly, and they will not need help everywhere, "I feel that many people are staring at the Nak Weaving Factory, factory owners, workers We, those in our Equality Association, and other miscellaneous things, it is estimated that many people will come to inquire about the output after the end of tomorrow."

   "No accidents, the workers will do their best. I think tomorrow will usher in a peak." Keating made a prediction.

"Considering that it has just been fully mechanized and the workers are not yet proficient in the operation of the machine, my goal for tomorrow is to double the original production capacity, five times in one to two weeks, and complete the balance of payments. As for the ten times The goal is indeed set very high, and it is extremely difficult to achieve it, relying on paper calculations lacks some strong data support, and we need to wait for further performance." Winston himself has a solid mental estimate for tomorrow's output.

  He calculated before that, if mechanization is completed according to normal conditions, their production capacity will increase by about three times. And five times that to break even, the earnings equal the exorbitant benefits they pay for workers. Ten times the cost can become the most profitable weaving factory of the same size, and a large amount of money is distributed to the workers, and in the end, it still earns more than those factories that squeezed out the workers.

"I don't know any calculations, but based on Winston's calculations, combined with my confidence in the power that people can unleash, I estimate that the output will triple on the first day, and within a week Five times, to achieve our first goal ahead of schedule." Verac has seen too much greatness in life, and he believes that workers will be able to make a fairly good start if they seek their own interests and win the reputation of the majority of workers.
