Chapter 39 39 Reaching Cooperation

After the middle-aged man asked the questions he wanted to know, he began to think for himself.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a while.

Ji Ye, who was working with Miguel, looked in the direction of Li Guanqi from time to time, with a calm expression, but the frequency of gradually slowing down while digging holes revealed her nervousness.

On the contrary, Li Guanqi's mentality was very stable, so much so that when the middle-aged man was silent, he was even in the mood to take out the "Introduction to Mohist Machinery" and flip through it with interest.

But the reason why Li Guanqi was so relaxed was not because he was confident in the nonsense he said.

Rather, they are very confident in the status of the Celestial Dragons.

In fact, things like Tianlong are more useful than she imagined.

Coupled with the low efficiency of information dissemination here, and the communication between various countries and the navy, it was not as friendly as she imagined.

Li Guanqi recalled that on the map, the navy was located at the border of Frevans, a place even more suburban than the countryside...

Far away from towns, with inconvenient transportation and harsh terrain... Even if you want to go to the nearest city to purchase supplies, it will be a long-distance training starting at least 15 kilometers.

Well... that's more than just unfriendly.

I just want to write the word "exclusion" naked on the top of the map!

But it makes sense to think about it. After all, it is a monarchy that prefers Westernization, so the king will not easily let troops outside his own forces enter his territory.

In other words, the efficiency of their communication with the navy at home is so low, let alone the Champaody Islands, which is far away at the terminus of the Grand Route.

Calling bugs to go to the Champaody Islands for questioning?

Not realistic?

This is the North Sea, not even the great shipping route where the navy is mainly stationed.

Even though this country is experiencing great prosperity, if the royal family and nobles of Freifans really wanted to compare their status with the royal families and nobles of the world, they would probably not be ranked among the top 100 in the world.

Therefore, even if the Tianlong people really want to come to Beihai to play, the top will notify the bottom, rather than the bottom asking the top.

To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the ancient times when the emperor paid a private visit incognito and went to a certain town for sightseeing.

Therefore, for safety reasons, the people under his command may quietly notify the mayor and let him prepare.

But no mayor has ever written a letter to actively consult the emperor - Your Majesty, I am Zhang, the mayor of a certain town. Would you like to visit this town at a certain time of a certain month in a certain year?

Wow, that sounds very arrogant! Ridiculous! Rebellious!

If this letter was really sent up, let alone shown to the emperor, it probably wouldn't even reach the capital, and would have to be intercepted locally.

They will not only laugh at you for not knowing your capabilities, but also criticize you mercilessly.

so……

So what if she told a lie? Arrogant.JPG

As long as they don't find fault with her logic, how can they go to the Champaody Islands to confirm the authenticity?

Can't? (Spread hands)

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi glanced at the middle-aged man who was alone in deep thought, and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth in excitement.

Oh, stupid humans!

This wave...

This wave is a victory in the information war!

Li Guanqi's mental abacus was rattling, and the middle-aged man's final decision was just as she expected.

"Cooperate." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Guanqi up and down: "Although I don't know how big your project is, without the permission of our border guard, I can't let it happen, no matter how small it is.

What you are doing here, you know this... right?"

"This..." Li Guanqi suddenly pretended to look embarrassed, "It's possible, but..."

"If you are willing to cooperate, we can contribute both effort and money." The middle-aged man paused and continued: "But the project must be built in my name. If you agree, then I will own the border area."

I leave the full power to you to take charge.”

"Then the name of the craftsman must be written with my name!" Li Guanqi said: "The rest doesn't matter, I'm here just for this!"

"So...we have a deal?"

The middle-aged man said with a greedy smile and stretched out his hand towards Li Guanqi, "Freifans Border Guard, Chief Commander, Ute."

"Li Guanqi, the wandering artist of the Flower Planting Country." Li Guanqi held Ute's hand back, shook it up and down, then let go, and then pointed at Ji Ye, who was digging a hole not far away, and said, "That's my assistant.

"

Ji Ye couldn't hear what was being said here, but when she saw the look and smile on Ute's face after Li Guanqi pointed at her, she secretly wondered whether this person had been deceived by Li Guanqi into being taken advantage of, so he exposed himself.

He gave a sympathetic smile and waved his hand to the man.

Alas, another poor guy who believed Li Guanqi's lies...

The poor guy who believed Li Guanqi’s lies: “…………”

Weird, why does my back feel a little hairy?

In short, because of Ute's active cooperation, Li Guanqi and Ji Ye's request to install fortifications on the border officially went from private to public.

And with the help of the captain of Freifans' local guard, the progress of the defenses has become much faster.

Not to mention that they also took the initiative to take care of financial support, so Jiye could not only focus more on fortification issues, but also use better materials than expected to build border fortifications.

And the best thing is that, as the commander-in-chief of the Border Guard, Ute has a better understanding of the terrain and routes on the Frevanth border than Jiye, a dabbler who takes a map and measures everywhere.

For example, he knew very well which natural caves were hidden behind the mountains, and which paths could avoid the checkpoints and lead to the outskirts of Freifans.

Except for sometimes making excuses and pretending to ask "why the flower stand is built like this?", basically the project is officially on track as planned.

However, while working, when Ji Ye saw no one around, he took the opportunity to drag Li Guanqi and hide in a small pit.

"By the way, Guanqi, there is something I have wanted to ask for a long time." Ji Ye squatted next to Li Guanqi and whispered: "What is a Tianlong?"

"Uh...how do you put it?" Li Guanqi scratched his head and said: "A rich and powerful person who thinks that his bloodline is several levels higher than everyone else, so he looks down on everyone except his own race equally...

idiot?"

Ji Ye: "…………?"

Li Guanqi spread his hands: "To put it bluntly, he is the white-skinned slave owner of the Yingjiang family."

Ji Ye: "…………!"

"I understand this." Ji Ye exclaimed after hearing this: "Living garbage!"

Li Guanqi: "Well..."

Li Guanqi nodded: "Yes, it's summed up very well."

…

…………

………………

All the viewers in front of the screen were eerily silent for a few seconds.

And before the topic even started, the World Government, which had a vague premonition about this, slowly typed a "?" in the midst of its head full of shit and confusion.

Small theater——

World Government: "Can this be said?"
