The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

When the Lan League was established, the elves in the Northland also joined in the past few months. In fact, the whole Northland joined. If they didn't join, it would be tantamount to isolating themselves. sheep.

But even if they followed the situation and joined, their status in Lanmeng has always been embarrassing.

What is the relationship between elves and humans? Needless to say how many years of sour and sweet friendship, the grievances and hatreds in it have spawned countless historical stories, and it is no problem to support as many playwrights and novelists.

The core of the Lan League is the two major Lan countries, and the people of the Lan country are human beings, so the core of the Lan League is naturally human beings, and other foreign races such as orcs, northern barbarians, undead, and underground forces are allies from the beginning. Either it is the defeated opponent. When one side is strong enough and the vassal side does not have much resistance, fusion is not too difficult.

The so-called unity means that there is one voice saying what we should do, and no one will disagree to our face.

The alliance of the entire Lanmeng sounds simple, but actually includes a series of actions and projects.

The most important ones are probably the construction of transportation routes, the re-division of administrative responsibilities, and the unified adjustment of military ranks.

This kind of policy seems to be nothing, it seems that it is just a matter of face, in fact, it is directly related to whether the alliance is really united, or it is still a mess.

The roads between countries in the past... If those muddy and chaotic mountain roads and trails can be regarded as roads, the coverage rate of roads can barely exceed 5%.

"To get rich, build roads" is a slogan, but it is definitely not empty talk, especially in the era of cold weapons, the gap between horse-drawn carriages and walking is not only in speed, the transportation volume of mules and horses and vehicles and individuals are two concepts, and when the goods cannot be sold When going out, the farm products are rotten in the field, and the finished product transported in the mining area is higher than the ore price. The so-called development is empty talk.

As for air freight? Not to mention the extremely bad ratio of air freight volume and freight, the warships of the Guanglan League are unlikely to undertake routine transportation duties. You know, the road looks inconspicuous, but the people who walk over it every day The number of people can be in the thousands. Moreover, it is a permanent investment, but every time it is airlifted, the cost has to be calculated to see if it can be paid back.

But unlike the residents of a certain world who aspired to live a better life, the residents of the feudal era lived like this for generations, and they didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it. It seemed natural to rely on the sky to continue their ancestors’ way of life.

If it really starts to build roads, it will start to recruit labor. On the contrary, they also felt that this lord wasted too much money.

And the lords are no better than them,

Some people are really ignorant, and this ratio is astonishing, while some people feel that once their road is repaired, other lords can follow the road to invade them. Isn't that shooting themselves in the foot?

And the establishment of Lanmeng. On the one hand, it also represents the disappearance of the scruples of "being beaten for road construction", on the other hand. The rapid development of Donglan, Sluwell and other countries, as well as the improvement of people's living standards, of course, the most direct thing is the endless emergence of gadgets, which have indeed touched people's hearts that have not changed for generations. Many people really began to desire change.

But it sounds good. In the past eight years, nearly 20% of Lanmeng’s total tax revenue has been invested, and the road coverage rate has increased from 5% to 10%. They are all unified two-way four-lane stone roads. The road specifications are shabby. But this already means that the main roads of various countries are barely passable, and they will not be cut off when it rains or snows.

As for the minutiae to a certain township or village, that is the responsibility of each country and each lord. As an alliance between countries, Lanmeng has done a good enough job.

The completion of the construction of this main road also means that the normalized administrative tasks and document transmission can be normalized. His simple wishes and hostility to bad lords, but it is not the result of inconvenient transportation and poor government orders.

With the unimpeded and normalized connection, the re-division of administrative responsibilities has also made the joining countries no longer independent individuals. While weakening the royal power and lordship, it has also allowed all regions to follow the policies and plans of the Lan League. Let this huge northern giant have a skeleton to support himself to stand and walk.

Of course, these policies are routine policies that have been approved by the kings of various countries. The lower limit is relatively high, and it is unlikely to cause the lord to retaliate... It is better not to start this aspect. The games and conspiracy in it can last for a few days.

And the next mutual recognition of military ranks and army reorganization is probably equivalent to assigning a number to all the knights, officers, and knight nobles of the alliance countries, so that they can recognize each other's ranks, and in the name of their own kings , obey the commander-in-chief of the Lan League, of course, this is only an unconventional dispatch that will only be effective in war, and the Knights still go their own way on weekdays.

At this point, the combat power of Lanmeng can cooperate with each other and play a combat role. Let’s stop here. The messy things in it can be written as a novel. If I really want to talk about it in detail, the space is too long.

And the elves, to be precise, the moon elves of the Northland... directly stuck in the first step of the joint plan.

Originally, according to the plan, it was necessary to clarify a section of the road to the Moon Elf Kingdom, but one of them was naturally the area where the Tassel Elf Kingdom was located, which was the link between the Elf Kingdom and the Human Kingdom.

There used to be a road there, and it was a good road built by the Tassel Kingdom. Although natural disasters caused serious damage to some road sections, it is much easier to repair the original road than to start from the beginning, no matter in terms of time, construction period and cost management. , should save more than 70% of the time and capital costs.

but……

"The area does not belong to any elf kingdom, and we refuse to pay for road construction along this stretch."

In a sense, this is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open. This road can only lead to you. What does it mean that you don’t cultivate.

According to the current Lanmeng policy, 70% of the road construction funds are paid by the local country, and 30% by Lanmeng finances. This is both a convention and a common sense. The local area earns the most, of course, the local country accounts for the majority, but it is seen that the Lan League only pays 30%, considering the mask, that is already an astronomical figure.

This policy has a small problem, as mentioned before. The area of ​​the original Tassel Kingdom does not belong to any country on the map, and the Elven Kingdom insists on refusing to pay for this reason, which is barely acceptable.

But in fact, there are such blurred areas on the map, but in the end the lords readily paid for it. After all, no one is a fool. Refusing to build roads is not only tantamount to missing the opportunity to develop infrastructure, but also isolating yourself to the Lan League system outside.

However, the Elven Kingdom rejected it, or completely rejected it without leaving any room for it...

Don't they have money? Let's talk about it. Even the undead (ghosts) don't believe it. Their exclusive magic products and works of art are a lucrative business. Robbery is not as fast as them. Coupled with years of savings, who would believe that the elves are actually poor.

Are they reluctant? To be able to maintain a normal-temperature magic barrier in the north, the funds and magic materials consumed are astronomical. The daily life of those elf mages who want to walk is so extravagant, how can they be poorer than human lords.

Nobody is a fool. But since the elves insist that this area does not belong to them, they are not obliged to pay. Lanmeng held a meeting for three consecutive days, and in the end, for the sake of consistency within Lanmeng, they gritted their teeth and paid out all the money!

And then... nothing more.

When the road started to be built, strange things kept happening. It wasn't that a certain section of the road suddenly started to be haunted. That is, a certain section of the journey was met with horse thieves, the workers were dispersed, and even their tools were taken away.

This kind of thing happened more than 20 times in three months, even a fool would know that the situation was wrong. And Lanmeng's investigation team went back from the first day to the evening of the same day, and being able to do this kind of thing in this position clearly shows that the elves did it.

What does the moon elf want to do? The high level of Lanmeng fell into confusion, and in the end it was Suanna, the former princess of the Moon Elf, who told the truth...

"For a long time, the moon elves in the North have looked down on humans and feared humans. They are probably worried about being annexed..."

Well, the elves didn't say it outright, and turned a corner with this uncooperative attitude to express their distrust. This may be the elves' usual narrow-mindedness and indirect...elegant diplomatic tricks.

Now, the problem has come to the leaders of the countries of the Lan Alliance. What can the human countries do next?

Continue to forcibly build roads? The money is out, the manpower is out, the hot face is on the cold butt, wash your face and then put it on, you can't take this face.

Forcibly breaking through, interfering with power, demanding that the Moon Elf Kingdom fulfill the covenant? The elves are very careful, even if they know that they did it, they can't get evidence, and even if they get the evidence, can they use this as a reason to attack the elves? It's even more aggression.

At this time, the reason why the moon elves joined the Lan League so easily came out. They had this plan from the very beginning. Small groups, playing cold violence, small and uncooperative.

Needless to say, this is already considered a coup in the relatively straightforward (simple) Ashe political circle. It is the crystallization of the elves' thousands of years of political experience, and it has indeed played a role, but...

"...The elves have always been like this. They keep making small calculations. They eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot. They get a lot of benefits, but they calculate too much and don't want to give up anything. Instead, they are confused by the immediate interests and short-sighted. Big plate..."

The road plan in the Tassel Elf Kingdom area has stopped, and the other Elf Kingdoms have not started.

In recent years, the rapid development of Lanmeng has been seen by the people in the Northland, but only the elves are still living their relatively small lives. Do those elves regret it?

"No, they won't regret it. They just celebrate once again defeating the human conspiracy to annex the elves. As for the development of the outside world, it has nothing to do with them. They still lived ten thousand years ago."

Suanna's words are completely in line with my usual understanding of elves. Even if the young elves of the new generation have opinions, in the elves' kingdom, the right to speak is in the hands of the elderly, and tradition is extremely important.

The final result is that the elven kingdoms have won in a sense. They have maintained their expectations, but humans have not lost. Anyway, they can move forward without the elven alliance. The nominal alliance allows them to start from the elven kingdom There is still a certain amount of income for purchasing special products and sending overseas students there.

The entire Lan League is becoming more and more integrated. The second phase of the big project "Galaxy Action" has been started for two years, but only the elves, the first phase of the project has not yet ended, but they have always been outside the entire Lan League, and the impact is extremely bad. But now the head of Lanmeng doesn't have time to play with them, so it's up to them.

But I could bear it before, but this time I really can't bear it.

According to the tradition, the moon elves of the Moon Elf Kingdom became one of the four high-ranking elves of the new Northland Elf Empire. "Real power faction", they once again played their own small calculations.

"Ask the Northland Elf Empire to settle in Moonflower City? The southernmost isolated city in the territory of the Three Moon Elf Kingdoms? Pull the entire Northland Elf Empire down and play isolation with them?"

"It is required that since the moon elves have provided the territory, the ownership of the territory by the moon elves should be retained? The consuls and guards of the northern elves empire should be held by the moon elves? Are you going to take the queen off the throne before the country is established?"

"The moon elves and the dark elves have an old feud, and they demand that the dark elves not set foot on the territory of the new elf empire... The four high-ranking elves, the silver elves, have just arrived, and the number of wood elves is small, so the dark elves are strong enough. The target kicked out?"

"The requested diplomatic and military rights... What is the difference between this and the initiative to split, the moon elves plan to come to a civil war?"

I read these documents slowly with a smile, but the elf patriarchs in front of me were trembling. The killing intent in the hall seemed real. In their eyes, the next plot should be a grand banquet with dozens of swordsmen jumping out?

I didn't target anyone, and I even smiled friendly at Suanna, the moon elf representative who was pushed out... Judging from her stepping back, it seems that she doesn't have much confidence in me, or I accidentally leaked it Did you plan to use the knife?

"Moon Elf..."

I put the document aside helplessly. I had expected the situation to develop to this point, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

When Heloise was crowned before, the Northland Moon Elves couldn't choose a new patriarch, and in the end they could only let Suana, who had become a gray blood elf and undead, be the representative...Since then, they probably have Once the talks fail in the end, it's not a plan to even recognize the previous agreement.

My proposal at the time was also a chance to break the situation. I gave Suanna a chance to be resurrected. Once she became a moon elf again, she might be able to play a great political role and change the current situation that is increasingly popular. Helpless development situation... I have no patience for those stupid moon elf elders who have not been baptized in war and only know infighting! I'm doing business and those bastards are holding me back!

What she replied to me at the time was to need time to think about it, okay, let's think about it, and then I was too busy, so I left it.

So now I try to keep a friendly smile and keep asking.

"Suanna, you've thought about it long enough, have you made your final decision? Resurrection or continue to maintain the status quo... Let me explain in advance, you'd better choose carefully. I have no patience with the moon elves. I'm not threatening you! But you This decision is related to the life and death of the entire moon elves, I don't believe that there are only three high-ranking elves in the northern elf empire that can't survive!"

"...Don't be scary! What is a threat if you don't call it a threat?"

The avatar of Heloise, who had been pretending for a long time, finally spoke, and the elf patriarchs were also relieved, but what she said next made them dumbfounded.

"Actually, I also hate the moon elves who are always causing trouble. They were the ones who rebelled back then. In fact, I am confident that the new elf empire can develop well with only the top three. Suanna, you can safely and boldly reject this idiot. "

All the patriarchs of the elves did not speak, but their expressions were very strange, as if they were panicking, almost as if they were talking.

"...You've already said this. Refusing doesn't mean you're dead! Who dares to refuse!" (To be continued.)
