Cook was a little depressed, knowing that this free kingdom was established by himself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was his own private territory, and the free alliance is actually other forces seeking the protection of the free kingdom.
Cook doesn't know what Connie means by opposing his maritime trade, does Connie have a different heart, Cook doesn't believe his speculation, Connie is now the consul of the Liberal Alliance, according to the rights structure of the Liberal Alliance, Connie has the right to object, which is why Cook said that he wanted to submit a bill, because the matter that the consul vetoed, only through the Guò Council can say that it will be carried out again.
After thinking about it for a while, Cook directly ordered someone to find a few members of the council to make a proposal, but Cook never understood why Connie did this.
Cook felt incredulous and a little angry at Connie's approach, Cook thought that his plan for the sea trade was very good, and the Storm Sea could be said to be an endless cornucopia, not to mention that there were intelligent creatures in the Storm Sea.
Soon, Cook's proposal was quickly put on the agenda, and such a proposal needed to be explained by the proposer himself, which was also made by Cook when he was making the parliament, and Cook did not expect to do it one day.
The number of councils in the Freedom Alliance is uncertain, because the number of councils can change at any time, and if new organizations join, then the number of councils will definitely increase, and the current number of parliaments is only about thirty.
Among them, the councilors of the Free Kingdom accounted for the vast majority, Eagle City also occupied a few, Stormwind City occupied a few, not only Cook was present, even the consul Connie was also present, and there were also strong people who were invited by Cook to be witnesses, these strong people were approved by Cook, because some of these strong people wanted to understand the structure of the Freedom Alliance, as for whether they had any ideas, Cook did not know.
"Lord Cook, can you explain what kind of benefits you have submitted for this proposal to the Alliance? "The Speaker is none other than Uncle Gerry, and Gerry asked Cook very formulaically.
"Your Excellency, allow me to explain. Cook also began to answer programmatically.
"What I submit is to form a caravan to carry out maritime trade, specifically in twenty-five to thirty years, to build a caravan composed of 10,000 metal ships, and each large ship has a cargo capacity of about 10,000 tons, which has reached the trade monopoly of intelligent creatures in the entire storm sea. Cook said.
"So what benefits will the Chamber of Commerce bring to our Freedom Alliance? Gerry continued.
"The first point is that it requires a huge amount of manpower, and the number of workers needed for 10,000 metal ships is a very large number, and shipbuilding requires not only metal, but also wood, and coal to make metal, in short, this is an extremely large industry, and we expect that one ship will bring 500,000 yürters to the profit of the Freedom Alliance. Cook elaborated.
Gerry was also shocked to hear this number, but Gerry still asked Connie, "Connie, can you explain the reason for your objection?" ”
"For marine trade, we have carefully studied before we raised objections, first to build a big ship needs a shipyard, and the shipyard should be built in the port, our free alliance now has no port that can provide 10,000 tons of ships to sail, and now the only one close to the Storm Sea is Storm City, it takes time to establish a port in Storm City, and there are a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, although Lord Cook can enter and exit freely in the Storm Sea, but the storm is just one of the dangerous factors in the Storm Sea, don't forget, there are still strong creatures in the Storm Sea, and it is because of these strong creatures, so building a large port is the first thing to do is to face these biological threats. Connie spoke.
"Lord Cook, can you give an answer to this question? Gerry asked, looking at Cook.
"We designed the shipyard to be a dry dock, not a seaport, and there will definitely be more defense forces after the port is built, so there is no need to worry about that. Cook replied.
"Lord Cook, do you have any specific plans for how to deal with the attack of the powerful creatures of the Storm Sea, you must know that it is in the ocean, not on the 6th ground. Gerry continued.
"Sea Clan, I decided to hire Sea Clan. Cook had to tell his plan, you must know that Avrice's father gave Avris to Cook, but the Tempest Sea in the Sanctuary is the hunting ground of the Roc, so Cook plans to let the Sea Clan live in the port.
"Connie, you can go on. Gerry finished recording and spoke to Connie.
"If you want to build a port in the Stormstorm Sea, then you need a lot of supplies, Stormwind City is too far away from our Freedom Alliance, and there are other forces around the Stormwind Sea, I want to ask Your Excellency Cook, if the surrounding forces are all driving up the price of materials, after all, a port, a shipyard, needs millions of people, then the logistics materials consumed by the population of one million people are an astronomical amount, if the price increases, the result is difficult to predict," Connie continued.
"What do you think about this, Lord Cook? Gerry continued to ask Cook.
"I think I can set up a teleportation array. "Cook really hasn't thought about this problem, yes, Stormwind is too far away from the Freedom Alliance, and the logistics materials are too much, and Stormwind itself has no production, Stormwind is just a commercial transit port, so the entire shipyard, the port's materials, need to be transported from the outside, the price is already higher than usual, and such a huge plan, if the logistics materials once the price rises, or is cut off, then Cook's plan will be extended indefinitely.
"Teleportation array, Your Excellency Cook, I want to ask, how much money you have prepared, I have made a preliminary calculation, twenty-five years to build 10,000 tons of metal ships, that is to say, an average of about 400 ships need to be built every year, so that is, more than one per day, the metal, wood, and logistics materials needed to build a ship, can Your Excellency Cook use the Guò teleportation array to transport these materials. Connie confronted Cook directly.
When Cook heard Connie's words, he was also speechless, not that he didn't know, he was shocked, if he needed so many materials in a day, unless it was his own natural ring, otherwise the rest of the space equipment would be transported, and the consumption of this teleportation array would bankrupt Cook, you must know that the distance between the Free Kingdom and Stormwind City is too far.
"We'll explore around Stormwind to see if there are any mines, and build a new city ...... in Stormwind. Cook had no choice but to reply.
"This is exactly the reason why we oppose it, it is possible to establish a trade fleet now, but it cannot be done on such a large scale, one is that the time is not ripe to establish a fleet, and there is also what the trade in the Stormy Sea is all about, we have no way of knowing, how many goods can be loaded by 10,000 metal ships, who these goods are sold to, and what goods are needed by the intelligent races in the Stormy Sea, Lord Cook, do you have a plan for these. Connie continued.
"I don't know. Cook replied awkwardly.
"So I think it's premature to do large-scale maritime trade now, and we can start with small-scale trade, and then gradually expand it, and at the same time expand the influence of the Free Alliance. Connie finally concluded.
Gerry looked at Cook, then at Connie, and then said, "You have listened to the two of you, please vote." ”
The vote was already obvious, and Cook was dumbfounded by the question, but there was still a partial abstention, and Gerry looked at it and said, "I announce that the proposal of His Excellency Cook's Chamber of Maritime Trade has not been passed in this council. ”
As Cook and Connie walked out of the council hall, Cook asked, "Connie, why are you objecting?" ”
"Why, I'm angry, as the consul of the Freedom Alliance, for the benefit of the entire Freedom Alliance, if I listen to you, it is better for you to be the consul, how about it. Connie asked, taking Cook's arm around him.
"Forget it, I just saw the business opportunities in the Stormwind Sea, and ignored some fundamental issues, you are right, the focus of the formation of the Chamber of Commerce is in Stormwind City, and our Freedom Alliance's control of Stormwind City is okay, but around Stormwind City is our power gap, if there is a big move, it is easy to be constrained by these forces. Cook figured it out, too.
Connie saw that Cook didn't look like he was joking, so she said: "It's just a point, according to your plan, it will take decades of effort, and once the business opportunities in the Storm Sea are seen by others, then the red-eyed guys around you may not know what kind of things they will do, although Cook you are very powerful, can you still kill everyone." ”
Cook nodded, then patted Connie's hand and said, "Connie, am I a little stubborn." ”
"No, you're just ignoring these issues. Connie shook her head.
"Then you have to be by my side in the future to remind me, after all, I am not perfect. Cook said with a smile.
To be honest, Connie also took a big risk this time, Connie was really afraid that Cook would fall out with herself for this matter, although Connie also knew that her every qiē was from Cook, without Cook, how could the Archon, don't even think about it, but Connie, as the Archon, is Cook's trust, so after Connie weighed it, she decided to oppose it, because this is worthy of Cook's trust.
Cook's reaction made Connie value Cook even more, Cook's status today, it can be said that there is no need to be afraid of anyone in the entire Sanctuary, if Cook is forced to promote the Chamber of Commerce, he doesn't have to care about Connie's opinion at all, but Cook still has to submit a proposal, which shows that Cook is not the kind of dictator.
What Cook didn't know was that this opposition bill played a very important role in the future development of the Freedom Alliance, not to mention that the parliamentarians saw that Cook's bill was refuted, and they no longer had the mentality of being a puppet with a raised hand, but worked harder to do their job as a member of the council.
Cook didn't see the more far-reaching image, but the next day, Cook received two motions to join the Freedom Alliance, and the person who submitted them was actually the witness that Cook invited this time.
Kuke looked at the elf powerhouse Shaman in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "Can I take the liberty of asking, why does Ms. Shaman want you elves to join our free alliance, you must know that your elf kingdom is very powerful." ”
