This was the original base of Smucker. After Smucker's death, luckily there were other team members who survived, so the base was still preserved. However, after the Brahma team was completely wiped out, the last remaining base also perished, so this place also became
The last remaining base among the eight.
There is a large building in the center of the base, which has a bit of the style of an ancient building from the 16th century. It has a tall castle, a round dome, and towers on both sides. This is Smucker's palace.
At this moment, a grand and unique dinner was being held in the palace.
Adventurers from the four districts of east, west, south and north gathered here, including Kalif, Ye Dongsheng, Cliff and others - they really came to eat.
With a large number of adventurers.
There are densely packed warships floating in the space above our heads.
Dinner was a buffet, and the workers who were accustomed to hoes and shovels were all good cooks. Hundreds of exquisite dishes were served, filling two rows of long tables.
The dining hall is just like what we saw in the movie. It is not only large in area, but also magnificently decorated. The crystal chandelier on the top is even more luxurious than PetroChina if measured in RMB.
The marble-paved floor is crowded with people. Directly opposite the hall are two wide stairwells, which can lead directly to the second floor, or you can lean on the railings and look down, talk, etc.
There are also famous paintings, antiques and some old-fashioned swords hung on both sides of the stairs. If you don't consider the original author and just look at it from the atomic level, then they are all 100% authentic.
"The environment here is good. I must admit that this flower monk has quite a taste in life." Shen Yi held the red wine in his right hand and put his left hand in his trouser pocket to admire the antiques. From time to time, people came over to say hello to him.
"It's a pity that he doesn't have the luxury to enjoy all this." Cliff walked up, looked at Shen Yi and said, "These are all yours now."
Shen Yi replied sternly: "I have no intention of occupying Nestlé. The Vientiane Palace belongs to the entire Southern District. It does not belong to any individual. The Broken Blade team is here only to make efforts to maintain regional peace..."
Cliff looked at him and shook his head for a while: "You should really become a politician. I mean, you haven't learned these things before, right?"
Shen Yi also laughed: "Some things don't need to be learned. As long as you get to that position, you will understand it naturally. Besides, have you never eaten pork and seen a pig running? Watch more news, and you will learn many things even if you don't want to learn them.
"
"That's true, but if you use these diplomatic rhetoric on me again, I will really get angry. Please, we are not politicians, let's speak frankly. What are you going to do next?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Shen Yi curled his lips and leaned into Cliff's ear: "What do Americans do in Korea and Japan?"
Cliff already understood: "You plan to build a base here?"
Shen Yi nodded: "Since you are a protector, you should invest military power, and military bases are the minimum manifestation. Of course, as the protected party, the other party should also show some expression."
Cliff had already sneered: "You mean they will provide materials, manpower and material resources to help you build the base, right? You think so well, they will provide money and people to help you build the base, you just say you are robbing money
That’s it.”
Assume that a base has a huge investment, and the labor cost alone is huge. Shen Yi does this, saying he is providing protection to the Southern District, but in fact he is squeezing the Southern District.
This is a naked colonial policy!
"The Americans didn't pay land fees in Japan." Shen Yi felt aggrieved.
"The problem is that their base doesn't generate profits either," Cliff said angrily.
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.
Then Cliff said: "We have one in each of the three districts, how about you take four?"
Six of the Vientiane Palace Joint Bases were destroyed by Shen Yi in one go, and one was taken back by the system after Garuda's death, so there are now seven gaps.
These seven gaps must all be filled. This is also the most important interest for the three regions. After all, the benefits are much greater than looting a building or something.
Although the three major districts have tacitly recognized Shen Yi as the protector of the Vientiane Palace, it does not mean that they cannot profit from it.
But before, they wanted to eat meat and gave the soup to Shen Yi.
Now that Shen Yi eats meat, they still have to fight for a bite of the soup.
Hearing what Cliff said at this moment, Shen Yi shook his head: "No, I have to give them at least one at the Vientiane Palace. You haven't done anything, so you and I are half and half, isn't it appropriate?"
"The problem is that if you want so much, you may not be able to eat it. It's not easy to keep two stars."
"There is a portal."
"The portal also costs money, and the cost is too high."
"That's better than you trying to take away half of my peaches all at once. I, the Broken Blade Team, worked hard to conquer the Vientiane Palace, but you three districts did nothing and just took away half of my peaches? If word gets out, I'll make people laugh to death."
Cliff was so angry that he laughed.
Who his sister dares to laugh at you?
You are not a loser in the Interstellar Alliance, and you are still not a loser when the three major regions come together to invade. Instead, you are using it to seize the Wanxiang Palace. Please, can we make you a wedding dress?
But the next moment, Shen Yi changed his tone: "Of course, our Broken Blade team has always been on good terms with the three districts of East, West and North. Since we have to jointly protect the Vientiane Palace this time, we will be neighbors separated by a strip of water in the future, and we need to help each other. …”
Cliff interrupted him impatiently: "Just say what you want."
Shen Yi immediately said: "I will give up three sub-bases, and you three districts and one will help me guard one sub-base."
Cliff barely missed falling over.
Your sister!
In terms of relationships, you don’t want to spend money to build a base, and you don’t even want to spend money to defend the base?
Also, the Broken Blade team is short of manpower. Although they have tricked more than 10,000 mutants, there are only a few who can stand alone. They have to defend two places, making it difficult to come and go.
In this case, Shen Yi might as well release some benefits and ask the three major districts to help him guard it.
It is said that he protects the Wanxiang Palace, but in fact he occupies three resources on the ground of the Wanxiang Palace, and lets the three districts guard it for him. All he has to do is wait and collect money - in the name of protection, he actually exploits .
"Use one base to defend two bases?" Cliff stared at him: "Don't even think about it!"
"I can give you 10% of the protection fee for each base." Shen Yi said: "In addition, I still have to pay for the infrastructure construction costs, and I will still build the necessary defense facilities. I only need that during the battle, you can Send some adventurers and supporting troops to help. Our Broken Blade team can't defend one base per person, but you haven't reached a one-to-one distribution ratio yet, right? For the extra adventurers, just get their wages from me, and I will It’s time to invite the general manager.”
At this point, even the two teams of Brahma Pure Land, with fourteen people, only have eight bases in total, which means one base per person for the Broken Blade team is not enough.
It was not enough for Shen Yi to establish a colony, and he also wanted to open an East India Company. This was the official start of his career as a capitalist.
Cliff thought for a while and said, "I'll go ask them what they mean."
Cliff went to Ye Dongsheng and others to discuss. When he came back after a while, Cliff said: "Twenty percent of the protection fee, the basic defense measures must reach the standard level, and at least two warships must be left in the three bases to assist and support. During the attack on the first star, even if there is no threat from Tianwei, people still need to be sent to help."
"Yes, but the construction period will be omitted. In the following period, the monthly profit rate must be above 80%. If not, it will be deducted from the salary."
The 80% profitability rate means that excluding the construction capital, 20% of the benefits generated by the base in that month are used to make up for war losses. This standard is not low.
"Sixty percent, you rely on warships to make a living. You don't have to have many mobile troops on the ground, but we can't do that here. We must have enough mobile troops to make up for it."
"Seventy, maybe. From this seventy, I still have to deduct twenty for protection fee."
"Yes, but the excess will be counted as our performance share. The shortfall cannot be fully deducted, only half. If the Zerg attack is fierce, we can't let my people fight in vain, right?"
"make a deal!"
The two shameless gangsters slapped each other and completed a big deal of occupying the Vientiane Palace.
Then the transaction didn't end and the conspiracy continued.
After Cliff left, Ye Dongsheng came again.
Compared with Cliff, Ye Dongsheng was much more refined. He first lamented that the four major forces were invincible in the bloody city, but unexpectedly he was picked up by Shen Yi. Young people are formidable, and then he said, "I was really invincible back then." I should drag you into the Dragon Alliance despite the Vientiane Palace." He looked at Shen Yi with a regretful look for a while, until Shen Yi also shouted that he couldn't stand it, Ye Dongsheng said:
"Garuda and Smucker are dead, but there will always be a new boss in the Wanxiang Palace. Do you have any considerations in this regard?"
Shen Yi smiled and said: "This one is still being deleted. At present, I am more optimistic about Ahn Jaehyung and Longli."
Ahn Jae Hyung is a former member of the Pure Land Team, but he is still quite clear-headed. Perhaps it is because of his racial inferiority. He is the first to recognize someone and hug him. As Shen Yi said, Koreans are used to having protective gods. In terms of ideology and culture, It's easy to accept this kind of thing.
Longli was one of the original sons of the Preparatory Emperor of the Vientiane Palace, but his base was not on the South Head Star, but on another planet, so he did not participate in this war. Now he also knows about the changes here and is coming, but in Before arriving, I had already greeted Shen Yi and the others, expressing their acceptance of the status quo - the Broken Blade Team plus the threats from the three major districts, and the Vientiane Palace was leaderless. It was better to surrender than to resist, and there was a possibility of being promoted to the top.
As for the future, invaders will never last long, and it is not uncommon for the supported puppets to turn against the invaders and drive them away.
Hearing Shen Yi's statement, Ye Dongsheng shook his head dissatisfied: "No, An Zaiheng has no reputation in the Vientiane Palace. At the beginning, Smucker acted in the opposite direction. Many people had objections to the Pure Land Team, and An Zaiheng is from South Korea." People, Koreans generally have a narrow vision and no awareness of the overall situation, and they are not favored by people in the South District. They have managed to survive today by relying on small cleverness. They are definitely not qualified to be the boss of the Vientiane Palace. If you give him a Pure Land Captain, he will kneel down and lick him. Long Li is capable and prestigious, but he is also untrustworthy. He is a preparatory emperor, and he has the possibility of ascending to the throne. Your help will only give him what he deserves, and he will not mean much to you. I’m grateful. If he wants to make a contribution after he takes office in the future, I’m afraid he will still have to use you to convince people. If you want to choose a boss, you have to choose a boss who can rely on you."
"That's true, but to be honest, I don't have much friendship with the people in the Vientiane Palace..." Shen Yi said regretfully. Galileo had a good relationship with him in the past, but it's a pity that he died in the death match. Now he really can't find him Find a suitable agent.
It takes time to train agents. Although Shen Yi and others understand conspiracy, they are not professional politicians after all, and no one has the time and energy to train them. The current plans are all based on the current situation. When it comes to long-term expectations, Shen Yi I really didn't expect this situation at the beginning, so now that I have to employ people, I can't help but be blinded.
"Who said you don't know anyone anymore?" Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Have you forgotten Lin Weisheng, Jin Shengji and the others?"
Lin Weisheng?
Shen Yi was stunned: "They are not dead?"
Ye Dongsheng laughed loudly: "Of course they are not dead. They had nowhere to go after their mission failed, so they hid here with me."
"..." Shen Yi was speechless.
The old thing, indeed, was so cunning that he actually hid Lin Weisheng.
But Lin Weisheng is indeed a suitable candidate.
As the Immortal King, Lin Weisheng still has considerable prestige in the Vientiane Palace.
Although he lost the death match, it was not his fault, it was Smucker and the others who wanted to lose.
Speaking of which, it was not the Vientiane Palace that Lin Weisheng betrayed, but only the two palace masters.
If Lin Weisheng is allowed to come back as the emperor's son, he has the ability and a good mind, and should be able to recruit a group of people.
Moreover, Shen Yirou and the others had saved Lin Weisheng's life, and they should also be grateful to Shen Yi.
They were also the happiest about the death of Smakgaruda.
"What about the Buddhist disciple? Who will be the Buddhist disciple?" Shen Yi asked.
“I recommend Habushi.”
Information about Habuxi emerged in Shen Yi's mind.
Habushi is a Pakistani and one of the main advocates of abandoning the two of them this time.
Pakistan has always had the best relations with China, and is known as Pakistan Railways.
Of course, when entering this bloody city, the friendship between Bata and Tie is not enough. You have to kill those who deserve it.
But kindness can be useless, but hatred is always permanent. Pakistanis and India have never dealt with each other, but Indians are also the main force in the Southern District, so Pakistanis have always been marginalized in the Southern District.
Because of this, when the two of them were unlucky, Habuxi and others simply gave up on the two bosses without hesitation.
In particular, this person is also very capable - being able to have a position in the Vientiane Palace Master Joint Base as a Pakistani speaks for itself. He has won the support and support of all Pakistani adventurers.
By choosing this person to come forward, it is not so much that he will definitely listen to Shen Yi, but rather that this group of people will definitely not deal with the Indians, and they can only continue to be Bati in order to seek external support.
At this time, the friendship between the two countries was restored.
Of course, as Habuxi's recommender and having the same Chinese affinity with Longmeng, Habuxi should also show his favor to Ye Dongsheng.
At this time, Ye Dongsheng's purpose of running over to talk to Shen Yi emerged.
The two people he recommended were both closely related to Longmeng, and Shen Yi couldn't refuse.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi also smiled: "Okay, thank you Leader Ye for your guidance, just the two of them."
The adventurers are all very busy, and no one has time to spend time on wrangling. Therefore, when they feel that the benefits are almost there, they can move on to the next business. Otherwise, if they really negotiate a contract for several months like the government, no one will be able to do it. Stop doing things.
After the distribution of benefits is negotiated, the goals of the puppet regime are established, and military mutual assistance is approved, the next step is business cooperation.
South First Star has a beautiful environment and a pleasant climate, so it is rich in natural resources. The food produced here is much more delicious than what is made in machines. In addition, there are some unique environments that can cultivate medicinal plants, so there is also potential for economic and trade cooperation.
Although the significance of economic and trade is not as great as that of the earth, the cumulative effect is considerable, and the major districts also understand this very well. Taking advantage of the opportunity of opening the gap in the Vientiane Palace, Ye Dongsheng and Shen Yi formally negotiated cooperation, and The basic tone has been established, and the South Star market is fully open.
In addition, through this matter, the three major regional forces of Tianwei and Dragon King have also reached some economic and trade cooperation - the commercial area of Tianwei's main base has been almost developed, and what needs to be done now is Officially expand business contacts.
Finally, it was Kalifu who came to find Shen Yi.
What he wants to talk about is the issue of offerings.
Since the Broken Blade Team "protects" the Wanxiang Palace, then the Wanxiang Palace naturally needs a lot of meaning, right?
The three major regions took the opportunity to intervene and each had a base. Therefore, they were also considered as protectors and naturally had to receive some benefits.
According to Kalif, of course, the more severe the charges, the better. It is best for each base to pay two-thirds of the protection fee every month.
Shen Yi was almost frightened to death by Kalief's appetite.
It's one thing to help build a base, but it's another thing to charge money every day.
Adventurers are not temperless. You say it’s okay to build a base and spend some manpower and material resources, but you still impose such a high fucking protection fee. This is not giving everyone a way to survive!
Kalif is used to being domineering. He is not satisfied with the income and cannot steal it from Shen Yi or others, so he can only exploit Wanxiang Palace head on.
However, Shen Yi couldn't agree to this. Fortunately, Ye Dongsheng and Cliff were both sober, and together they stopped this guy's unreasonable behavior.
Therefore, we finally negotiated two energy beads per month for a ** base, and it was enough. The cost was divided equally between the Broken Blade Team and the three major districts. Shen Yi stopped fighting with them. It was a sign that I was generous and I would not Careful, of course, it also alleviates Kalifu's crazy thirst for resources.
Finally, there were some details. The adventurers didn't have time to worry about it. They all agreed after seeing that there were no problems, and then directly announced the results. Lin Weisheng and Habuxi were honored to become the new emperors and sons of the Vientiane Palace and represent the Vientiane Palace. Sign a formal protection agreement with the Broken Blade, Dragon Alliance, Purgatory Cult and Blood Legion.
The most notorious "Five-Party Agreement on South First Star" in the history of the bloody city was released. Perhaps it was because everyone wanted to be ashamed. When it came to signing the agreement, Lin Weisheng and Habusi shied away from each other, and no one wanted to be a part of it. Signing his name, in the end it was Ahn Jae Hyung who signed the agreement as the negotiator.
Even though he was not involved in the negotiations at all.
