Chapter 253: Engagement
"W-This is true?" When the two vampires finished reading the letter that Sun Lin handed them, they looked at Sun Lin with a shocked and excited expression.
"As the mainstay of the North Sea of the Empire, first of all, I will never allow him to be given to you, this is the principle, but I can let him be 'lent' to you, including the fleet in his hands." Sun Lin said with a smile, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Since Princess Alice married to the side of the Sunset Empire, there is one thing that can be determined immediately, that is, the Vampire Empire will be the eternal ally of the Sunset Empire, so we have the obligation to help our allies share some things, such as giving you the protection of trade routes, opening up war resources to the Vampire Empire, and selling luxury resources that are urgently needed by the Vampire Empire, such as porcelain, tea, silk, etc., that are urgently needed by the Vampire Empire." ”
"But, but the preferential treatment provided above is too much, too generous, all kinds of luxury goods are reduced by 10%, and batches of steel ingots are sold at the constant price of the mainland, this, this is ............" Berdeke blushed, and said intermittently to Sun Lin with a look of surprise and excitement.
Regarding the reaction of the two vampires, Sun Lin just smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "I don't think the Sun Never Sets Empire owes anything. I didn't write the same thing about this, although I also escorted the Vampire Empire's trade fleet for the North Sea Fleet of the Empire, but the Sun Never Sets side also needs to collect a certain amount of gold as rent. ”
"No, no, no! The sun never sets, you don't know how much benefit a trade route can provide to the vampire empire, if all the trade routes of the vampire empire in the North Sea are stable for 3 years, then the vampire empire can get out of the mud of war, and then it will be a werewolf and a snow elf. The Mo forging people and the four great forces of the northern human nations have truly united against our vampire empire, and we don't need to be afraid, and we will even have the ability to counterattack when the time comes! The vampire prince stood up with a flushed face, and said with extreme excitement, and the statue of Berdeck beside him stepped forward to calm him, but the fiery gaze in his eyes revealed Baldeck's mood at this time.
Sun Lin just smiled at the reaction of the two vampires, but in fact, Sun Lin's heart had already laughed at this time, because he had already seen that the future Sun Never Setting Empire would not only have an ally who would rule a continent at the level of a real great empire, but would also have an ally who would provide a steady stream of funds for the Sun Never Set Empire.
In fact, from the past to the present and even in the future, Sun Lin did not have a trace of desire to conquer the ice and snow land of the Northern Continent, because this place was a chicken rib for the sun to never set, and the sun did not want to occupy this continent, but because there were many factors on this continent that might pose a threat to the Sun Empire in the future, Sun Lin had to fight a meaningless desire to conquer, and sent the best fleet at hand and the most adaptable to various environments to the North Continent.
Originally, Sun Lin's plan was to use Reykjavik as a springboard to use the 11th Heavy Infantry Regiment trained by the Mishals, and even the 12th, 13th, and 14th to fight in the Northern Continent after the end of the war on the Western Continent and the use of the intelligence network to escalate the melee in the Northern Continent again, but when Blackbeard's problem appeared, Sun Lin suddenly felt that instead of taking this unoccupied place, it was better to create an ally who could not do without the help of the Sunset Empire to rule this area.
In fact, among the three preferential policies provided by Sun Lin in general, helping the vampire empire stabilize maritime trade routes and selling military supplies to them are just foils, and the policy of reducing the price of luxury goods by 20% is the real killer move.
The vampire clan is a big country in demand for luxury, and luxury goods can be regarded as an indispensable part of their lives for vampires, plus there is no obvious distinction between commoners and nobles in the vampire empire, (the vampire empire adopts a semi-slave and semi-feudal system, and most vampires are either nobles or soldiers, as for growing food, building weapons, etc., they are all done by human slaves and Mo forging slaves) and the luxury goods that never set are absolutely in line with their needs.
Don't look at Sun Lin's price reduction at this time, it will cause losses, but his approach can effectively enter the market of the vampire empire, just like people in the original world can not do without electricity when they learn to use electricity, but after vampires are used to using luxury goods that the sun never sets, they will no longer buy luxury goods from other countries, and gradually become dependent on the luxury goods produced by the sun never setting empire, even if Sun Lin raises its price in the future, those vampires can only scold a few words in secret. Then pay more for the price on the surface, which is known as economic warfare, and when the vampire rulers find that the economic lifeblood of their country is all in the hands of the rulers of the sun, they protest with powerlessness.
Eventually, when Rose took Princess Alice on a tour of the Royal Victory, the covenant and marriage contract between the Vampire Empire and the Sunset Empire were signed in the council hall, although Sandru, the supreme ruler of the Vampire Empire, did not know the details of the Covenant and did not declare that these covenants were legitimate, but it was only a matter of time. With the help of the Vampire Batknight's super-fast transmission speed, Sun Lin and two members of the Vampire Mission visited the North Sea Fleet on the island of Kroliate while visiting the North Sea Fleet, which will protect the future trade voyages of the Vampire Empire, and talked about the culture of the two countries, after Sun Lin received a letter from the ruler of the Vampire Empire.
The general content is that the black-bearded old man who has not met before him expressed his apologies for the series of consequences caused by the previous fight against Xiao Jiujiu, and is very grateful to Sun Lin for not giving up his previous suspicion to provide such a preferential plan to the Vampire Empire, and he and the vampire ministers were very satisfied with the alliance plan between the Sunset Empire and the Vampire Empire, that is to say, they agreed, and on the same day, Sun Lin also learned that the alliance between the Sunset Empire and the Vampire Empire spread in the Vampire Imperial City, according to Sun Lin's budget, It is estimated that within half a month, everyone in the Northern Continent will know about this matter.
In addition, Sun Lin also received a letter, which was written by the Sandru to Sun Lin as a father, in addition to promising the marriage between Alice and Rose, and also told Sun Lin that no matter where Rose belonged to which power, he would be a prince of the vampire empire, and proposed that he hoped that the wedding between the two would start as soon as possible and the location was also chosen, in Reykjavik, as for the reason, because Sandru hoped that the two couples could get the blessing of the two imperial rulers at the wedding.
In this regard, Sun Lin immediately agreed after reading it, and set the time of the wedding on August 13.
