20. The Bishop and the Juvenile (14)
The oldest old man, who had followed Marshal Ushakov in an attempt to bring him down, and who had survived in the frenzy of counter-attacks, did not join in the noisy discussions. Although the old man looked down on this arrogant style, he also thought that the human beings should not be allowed to think that without them, the Principality's naval law would survive, otherwise this group of proud people would make more and more excessive demands in future negotiations, and the interests of the Principality's navy would also be infringed.
In fact, they have already brazenly proposed to buy the design and construction drawings of the ship.
These cheeky guys!
The old general's back molars grinded for a while, and the efforts of several generations of shipbuilding design craftsmen planned to take it away with a few stinky money!
This is no longer a drinking place, at this moment, the status of the banquet hall has been raised to the decisive battle ring of the dignity of the principality and the principality's navy, and the officers of the principality's navy are already full of aura and have the momentum to give it a go. They were in high spirits and determined to fight hard in the Drinking Field, the project of the True Masters, swearing to sink all the enemies and never let any of them leave the banquet hall by themselves.
So, what about the elves of VE Corporation?
They didn't say a word, a sneer on the corner of their mouths, and waited for the secret decisive weapon to come on.
"Are you ready for the Duchy? I heard that even the stock of aged spirits has been brought out. โ
The corridor leading to the banquet hall had been covered with a velvet carpet, and the boy tugged at the cuffs of his shirt when he stepped on the soft carpet. Smoothing out the folds, he asked nonchalantly:
"Are we all ready for the gifts?"
"According to you, they've all moved into the ballroom. โ
Tyr hesitated, and at the risk of being reprimanded, he persuaded:
"There are a lot of people on the other side, and they are all among the largest wine tanks in the navy, do you think it's-"
"The other party's war letter has already been handed in front of us, and we have no reason not to fight, and then we will become a cowardly expression, which will make them think that we are weak and can be expected, and it will bring trouble to the subsequent negotiations. It's time to experience the culture of this country. โ
"But ......!"
Tyr became a little agitated. He had seen with his own eyes how good the bear orcs were, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was not a problem for a bear orc to pour down 5 elves. At the Wanhu Hotel in Agentolatong, the hairy bears were put down with medical alcohol mixed with water, and when the second elves were still suffering from hangovers, the hairy bears had all gotten up like no one else.
It was his half-breed adopted son: Caspar. There was a fight with a platoon leader in a motorcade during a camping session, and when the 7-year-old boy burped and blew bubbles at a beer glass, the platoon leader had already gone under the table......
One word. Alcoholic beverages are the natural enemies of the elves, and they cannot be expected to share the supreme commander's worries in this matter.
"It's a big deal, let's show up for more money. Your health is ......"
"Thanks, Tyr. โ
The young man turned his face sideways to show a reassuring smile, and said to his worried subordinate:
"Now the country needs my stomach to clean up those goddamn furry bears. It's something I can't do, only I can do. And I'm strong enough to give those bastards who look down on us a good look, what do you mean. โ
"You're really ......"
The orc attendant opened the door to the banquet hall, and Tyr smiled bitterly and followed Li Lin into the messy hall.
There was once a joke among the wolf orcs that was widely circulated:
After the establishment of the United Principality of Rus, which was established as the dominant force of the Bear Clan. A Bear Clan Captain contemptuously addressed the Wolf Clan Elder: "What else are you doing with the Defense Agency? That's just a decoration." โใ The elder of the wolf clan tilted his head: "Don't you also have the Department of Culture and Education?"
This is just a cold joke of the wolf clan disgusting the bear clan, and the bear orcs still have their own apes in culture and art, leaving their rightful place in the history of civilization of the intelligent species.
It's just that compared with the art of human countries, the rough frame aesthetics and violent aesthetics of the woolly bear are a little inadequate. It is far from the elves' exquisite artistic taste for refinement and complexity.
Baron Nasimov has always disliked the restaurant at the Savastopol shipyard, and no matter how many times he has renovated it, he can't get rid of the slight musty smell that fills the air, and the terrible, monotonous dishes, and the waiter who loves to answer questions...... The Baron always avoided eating here as much as possible.
comparatively. He prefers the high-end restaurants of the human countries, the food there and the girls who are hot and tender to their guests......
After visiting Agen Toraton, the baron's requirements for an artistic atmosphere were raised again.
A palatial guesthouse with excellent service facilities and exquisite cuisine. A band that plays a variety of folk tunes and pop songs. Actors performing magic tricks and acrobatics to cheer up...... This qiฤ amazed the baron, who thought he had seen the world, and at the same time became more and more dissatisfied with the moldy building.
"If only I had signed a contract in Argento, ......"
The whispered complaint did not escape the admiral, and several vicious faces turned around, and the baron had to shrug his shoulders apologetically to the old Qiuba with a fierce eye.
The United Principality of Rus' was a martial kingdom, with soldiers and military aristocrats being the central pillars of the country. No matter how bad the navy is, they are still soldiers, and the voice of a few vice admirals is definitely higher than that of a civilian baron. The baron had no choice but to back down.
At this time, the banquet hall had also been quiet, and the big leaders of both the guests and the host were present, and now the toast began by Admiral Lazarev.
"Gentlemenโ"
The admiral's expression was stern, his face was full of wrinkles but not relaxed, and there was a fierce expression that only a supervising officer could have, and the colonel straightened his chest and abdomen, stood his body straighter than a javelin, and his ears were all pricked up to listen to the old general's words.
"I am delighted to have all of you here to witness the signing of this agreement. This was the first pleasant cooperation between the great Duchy Navy, the sword of His Majesty the Tsar, and our new ally, and it was a good start, with positive and far-reaching implications for the revival of the Duchy's Navy......"
The admiral began to recall the history of the Principality's navy, recounting the glorious battles and legendary naval heroes, and expounding the significance of this occasion - to His Majesty the Tsar, to the United Principality of Rus', to the Principality's Navy.
The old general's speech was very good, well-organized, to the point, and very engaging.
