Chapter 70 High-pressure policy

"Please wait a moment." I signaled not to send the little girl out first, and the White Shark Clan leader immediately nodded to her wife.

As soon as the little girl was released, she immediately ran to me and asked me with tears in her eyes: "Did you agree?"

I shook my head. "I haven't considered it yet. Please calm down first and let me think about it a little. After all, this is not a small business."

"Linlin, don't make a fuss, come and sit down." The patriarch pulled the little girl back and pressed it onto the seat, and then continued to wait for me to express his opinion. The room became quiet for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, this matter is absolutely extraordinary. One mistake can lead to a mistake. The current position of the White Shark tribe is hostile to us, but this does not mean that it cannot be transformed into a positive relationship. In fact, we do not seem to have substantial hostile relationships. The current hostility is because of allies. The Japanese are allies of the White Shark tribe, and we are allies of the Mermaid tribe, and the White Shark tribe and the Mermaid tribe are really hostile. We have basically no intersection with the White Shark tribe, at least there is no direct contact, and there is no problem of hostility at all.

Now the key to determining whether to help the White Shark tribe is interests. Whether to leave this race to be of great interest or kill them is the key. Eliminating the White Shark tribe and Atlantis will dominate the whole family after destroying the White Shark tribe, which seems not a good thing. Overly powerful allies may become enemies of tomorrow. This is what my father said, and it should be correct. But if there is no White Shark tribe, the Japanese's technological source will be cut off. This is a huge benefit, which is conducive to our long-term control of the sea. But if we leave the White Shark tribe, we can restrain the Mermaid tribe to avoid them being too strong. Once the Mermaid tribe is too strong, the conditions for the alliance will no longer exist, and a maritime war will be inevitable. I can't guarantee that I can defeat the Mermaid tribe's navy. This is too difficult! Leaving the White Shark tribe may not allow them to interact with the Japanese for a long time, and maybe we can use this opportunity to negotiate with them.

After thinking about it, I decided to ask tentatively. "Can I ask something unrelated before I make a decision? I am a new member of the guild, and I don't know much about some of the previous relationships, and I'm even a little confused."

"Of course." The White Sharks don't want to offend me for this little thing. "What do you want to know?"

"Yeah, that's it. I want to know who contacted you to promote this business at the beginning?"

"Do you want to know how we met?" The patriarch nodded and continued to answer: "It's my daughter. She met Matsumoto Kwan while she was playing on the water. She was rescued by Matsumoto Kwan as a waterfall."

Will Matsumoto save people? I think it's because this girl is pretty! But this sentence cannot be said now. "So how do you talk about this compared to business?"

"It was when we went to pick up Linlin that Matsumoto took a fancy to our ship. He thought our technology was very developed and wanted to buy it."

I continued, "You guys asked for the magic crystal, did you?"

“Yes yes.”

After pondering for a while, he continued, "I want to ask a question, and I hope you don't take the face into consideration and answer me directly."

"Please say it."

"If someone else comes to deal with you now, as long as the conditions are more favorable, will you definitely add it to them and ignore us?" The patriarch was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and wanted to open his mouth and close it. I added: "As long as you answer the truth, I can't take into account our feelings. I want to know the real answer. Believe me, as long as you tell the truth, I won't blame you."

The White Shark Clan patriarch finally nodded and said, "Yes, we will sell it. To put it bluntly, we are just both parties in the transaction and have no feelings or reputation. We only have these things, and we will certainly not refuse to use them for more magic crystals. Although this is very hurtful, please don't be surprised. After all, we are just talking about business. I will not disagree with someone who offers a more favorable price, and there is no need to trade with you."

"Hahahaha!" I suddenly laughed and scared the other party. "Don't be nervous, I'm very satisfied with your answer. To be precise, I'm very satisfied." They were all confused by me, and I don't know what I'm selling. "You guys are ready now. I have a secret to tell you. Don't be excited if you stop."

They nodded and expressed their mental preparation. The patriarch took a drink and sipped it to stabilize his emotions, and then said, "Tell me."

"Actually I am the one sent by the Mermaids to stop this deal."

Bang. The three of them stood up and stared at me. They were not glaring but surprised. The news was too shocking, and no one could accept it. Think about the person around you who suddenly told you that he was someone who was asked to assassin you. What would you react?

After all, the patriarch was the patriarch, so he first reacted. "Aren't you afraid that we will deal with you by force?"

I still said slowly: "Since I dare to say it, I am not afraid of you. I am still a little confident in my strength. Although I can't beat you, it's still no problem to escape. The crew outside are adventurers, and death is just a temporary pain, and I will be resurrected when I turn back. Their equipment is all guild suits, and they can't even explode, and even if they die, there is no loss. That ship was indeed from Matsumoto Masaki, who came to trade with you today. Unfortunately, I was intercepted by me halfway, so I don't feel sorry for you to sink it.

Don't think about the magic crystals above. We put bombs inside, and you can't pick out the bombs in an hour. And I can detonate them at any time to ensure that you can't get a piece of debris. In addition, I don't know if you know that magic crystals are usually safe, but if they have enough power to detonate, the explosive power of the magic crystal itself is even more fierce than the explosive. If that ship of magic crystals explodes, there will be no one left in your fleet. I'm satisfied to pull so many of you to take the backs."

"You...!" The clan leader and the other three sat back on their seats powerlessly. "What do you want?" They are now like defeated roosters, speaking weakly.

"I want to help you."

"What?" The three of them raised their heads and stared at me together. "What did you say just now? You said you want to help us?"

This is my purpose. It is so sad that I am so happy that I am so happy that I completely disrupt their thinking. First, let them despair so much that I want to commit suicide, and then give a glimmer of light. At this time, you are the flashlight in the dark, which is definitely much brighter than the searchlight under the sun. The timely help is always more touching than the icing on the cake.

"You heard it right, I just want to help you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to talk to you so politely. If you really want to harm you, just go through the business and sell the magic crystals loaded with the bomb to you, and then detonate them when you get a safe distance. Not only can you not get the magic crystals, but you will also ruin a fleet and three of you royal members for nothing. This blow is more serious than anything else? If you don't do this, you want to help you."

"You are really the greatest person. On behalf of all the White Shark Clan, I thank you for your kindness." The White Shark Clan's patriarch was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Stop." I stopped him from kneeling. "Don't be too excited. It's certain to help you, but I'm not a charity, so it's impossible to provide free assistance."

"No matter what method, as long as we can get the magic crystal stone to maintain our lives, we will thank you." Although he said this, his actions were not as fanatical as before.

"Actually, I don't have any excessive requirements. Just trade according to the original plan. And you can't trade any technology with the Japanese in the future. I want to get the exclusive management rights of your magic crystal. No second magic crystal merchant can appear. In exchange, I guarantee a long-term and stable supply of magic crystals. But you must never contact the Japanese again, otherwise don't blame me for banning your magic crystal supply. To be honest, I can stop you once and once, and I will intercept them all no matter how much the Japanese transport it out. So it's best not to try to smuggle magic crystals like this. Apart from this, I hope you can have a good talk with the mermaids."

"What?"

"Don't be so surprised. I feel that you two tribes do not seem to coexist, and negotiations are good for everyone."

"But we...!"

"Don't look for reasons. I'm not discussing with you. This is a decision. Your choice is to accept or refuse, and there is no bargaining."

After more than ten minutes of quiet, the White Shark Clan finally nodded with difficulty. "I can consider communicating, but I don't promise to succeed. We are no longer hostile for a day or two. The Mermaid and White Shark Clan have never used any method other than force before. But this time, in order for my people to survive, I agree to the negotiation."

"Have courage." I applauded. "A new ocean age is coming. Please believe me, your decision is correct."

The White Shark Clan leader said: "Don't be too relaxed, your affairs are more than that. The mermaids need your persuasion and persuasion, not us. They are the ones who have been hurt the most in the war over the years. I agree that the negotiations only need to overcome our pride, and the mermaids have to face more. So you have to be prepared. If your relationship with them is not strong enough, I suggest you don't mention this matter with them, as you may be thrown out by them."

"Since I've said it, you're sure. You don't need to worry about this. Now let's discuss our deal."

"Yes. What are you going to decide on this?"

"Of course the magic crystal will let you take it away, and I will give you the detonator together."

"Aren't you afraid that we will regret it?" asked the White Shark Clan Chief.

I asked back, "Can you live your life with these?"

"Jer!...Please continue."

"I found that the technology of your White Shark tribe does not seem to be particularly powerful. Atlantis's intelligence is very inaccurate. However, your warships are far superior to the warships of the mermaids. The problem seems to be in coordination. The mermaid tribe's technology is very developed, but many things cannot be effectively utilized and used, and your warships fully demonstrate your technology. It seems that your race's hands-on ability is stronger and is better at converting technology into products. This is probably why the mermaid tribe thinks you are more advanced, but they always try hard to study Magic Technology to catch up with you, but they don't know that their technology has long surpassed you, but they just lack the ability to transform."

"This is also new news for us." The patriarch said: "I thought they were just behind in technology!"

"You really have very little understanding of each other. I really don't know that you have been here for so many years! I decided that this transaction project will be this ship, plus 500 technicians and their families, and your daughter."

"Why?"

"Your technology is not as useful as mermaids. You need your technology to be less useful, but your technicians are more useful. I want them to read the technical information of the mermaids and help me build a ship. In order to prevent the technology from leaking, these people will not be able to return to you, so they want their families to go together. As for your daughter, do you know what a hostage is?"

"That's it!" They seemed relieved. "I thought you wanted her to be an underwater monitor!"

"I want her to be an underwater monitor! She can also be a hostage."

"No. absolutely not." Mrs. White Shark hugged her daughter tightly and did not let go.

The little girl broke free from her mother's control and said in tears: "Mom, don't do this. If it's for everyone, I'm willing. Although I can't bear to give up, I have to do it." As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them hugged each other and started crying.

I quickly stopped it. "Stop...stop...stop...stop...! Are you getting a mistake? You have sold so many technologies. Is it the same as a monitor technology? How can you make a monitor like a separation from life or death?"

The patriarch trembled and said, "It's not a technical problem. We can give the technology of the underwater detector for free, but...but...! We can't lose our daughter!"

"What does this have to do with your daughter?"

The patriarch looked at me blankly, wiping his eyes and tears. "Don't you want her to be a monitor?"

"Yes! So what's wrong? I won't abuse her. I'll send her back when your negotiations are over."

"Ah?" The three of them looked at me together in a daze. After a long time, the patriarch slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot! You may not know. This detector is not a simple machine. Making it requires part of the organs of a living White Shark Royal Family member, so the completion of each detector means the disappearance of a life."

"Ah? That's it! I'm so sorry, I don't know! I thought it was just assembling a machine! Then I don't need this, just be a hostage until the negotiations are over."

"What if the negotiation fails? How can we talk about it if you take hostages? Anyway, we must obey."

"If the negotiation fails, I will not send her back to your tribe and kill you together. Maybe I am a demon, but also a demon who is principled."

"I hope you keep your promise."

"I am a businessman, either without humanity or morality, but I cannot be without credit. The most important thing for a soldier is loyalty, and the most important thing for a businessman is credit."

"Please prove it to me with your practical actions!" The White Shark Clan leader shook hands with me excitedly.

I stood up and said, "Then that's it. Do you have technicians now?"

"Yes. There is a dock in this boat, so I brought a lot of technicians. Their families are usually technicians, so I came with me."

"That's much more convenient. Let's start handing over? Evacuate all your people from this ship except those technicians. Of course, the little princess wants to stay. I'll let my subordinates take the magic crystal... stunned! This... wait a moment!" I almost forgot that there are many fakes in the magic crystal on the ship. If they take it back, it will be a big trouble and my reputation will be over. It was originally a one-time deal, but it doesn't matter, but now the situation has changed. "Hehe! It takes time for you to evacuate so many ships? You can retreat slowly, and I'll go back to help you prepare the magic crystal."

"Can."

I quickly returned to the Sakura Number. While they evacuated the personnel, we began to work crazily to separate the magic crystal stones. I really shot myself in the foot and mixed sand into the rice. Now I have to pick out the sand again. I am so dizzy! Fortunately, I made a mark, otherwise I would be really deadly when I knocked one by one!

Fortunately, the guild's mms were quick-witted and immediately started to separate after receiving my notice. At the end of the evacuation of the Great White Sharks there, the separation was also over. After installing the magic crystal stones on the White Sharks' ships, they watched the White Sharks' warships disappear one by one, and only the Sakura and the Great White Sharks are left here. This big guy is really big enough, it's simply a mobile dock. It's not a good idea to replace such a large submarine with a large number of magic crystals. At least it can be used for assaults. This thing is definitely not a problem to transport troops of 100,000 to 80,000 troops at one time.

"Okay, girls, let's go home! They're all gone."

"cut!"

"I'm scared!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I was immediately beaten by the mm. "You want to rebel!"

"Who made you so nervous that I had another wrinkle!" said an mm.

Another mm said: "My heart is in my throat. They were almost scared to death when they rushed up!"

I pulled an mm to her side and grabbed her hand and pulled out her sword. "What is this? This is not a fire stick. If they are fierce, they are even more fierce. Look at your promiscuous prospects, do you look like men?"

The mm replied in unison: "We are not like men, because we are women. And you, go and die!" As I said that, I was kicked into the sea by seven or eight mm.

"Hahahahaha!" The little princess standing on the Great White Shark saw the scene of me being kicked into the water by the women and immediately forgot the pain at the beginning and burst into laughter.

I came out of the water and pointed at her and said, "Why are you laughing at? You are a hostage! Throw her down!"

The girls behind the princess even threw her down, but the princess immediately turned into a big fish tail when she got into the water, and her upper body was still human. "Haha, am I a white shark tribe? Throw me into the water?"

"Don't mess with me, or throw you into the crater."

The princess immediately covered her mouth nervously and stopped talking. I rubbed her blonde hair. "The little flower in the greenhouse, you will go through the storm in the future. Pray for the success of the negotiation! I don't want to turn you into a withered flower with my own hands." After that, she immediately pulled her up on the White Shark. "Okay, let's go!"
