Chapter 143 A Proxy War for the sea country
Roger told Margaret about a new mode of warfare called "proxy warfare".
The Green Vines Empire has now entered the stage of recuperation and is going all out to upgrade domestic technology, increase productivity, and improve the quality of life of the people.
But being warlike is a character written into the DNA of the Queen of Eternal Night. Now that she can't fight for the sake of people's livelihood, it doesn't mean she doesn't want to fight.
Moreover, the Mystic Society is making new gadgets every day. Whether it is a mass-produced new item of pure magic or arcane equipment that combines magic and technology, it needs to be tested in actual combat before it can be proven to be a qualified weapon.
The theory is just theory, and the laboratory environment can only simulate complex battlefields to a limited extent. The only equipment that has passed the fire test can be mass-produced and deployed in the entire army.
However, the empire has announced that it entered a stage of peaceful development, and there is no opportunity to use those big bombs, super big bombs, and super giant bombs...
This caused the Queen of Eternal Night to be like an internet-addicted girl who had learned a new outfit and style of play but was banned from playing games. The word "war" was always stirring in her heart.
The empire is currently not suitable for open large-scale wars, but it is needed for testing weapons and equipment. At this time, the prince of the sea country, Shaq, has provided a new entry point.
"We can use methods including but not limited to providing weapons and equipment, training magic troops, providing mercenaries, supporting logistics supplies, etc., to help the Mermaid Sea Nation defeat the Naga Empire, which has been in constant conflict, and use their money and lives to verify our weapons. Equipment, complete the update."
"If Your Majesty is happy, you can also play a guest role as a mercenary to enjoy the war..." Margaret followed the train of thought and gave Dio a thumbs up.
Once this idea comes out, it will be appreciated by the Queen of Eternal Night, and it will use up her energy that has nowhere to vent.
And it's not just about finding a new toy for the Queen of Eternal Night, verifying new military theories through proxy wars, and achieving some strategic goals, which are no worse than the empire's direct conquest of neighboring countries.
Earn even more!
The mermaid sea country can also get strong support to solve the serious troubles of the heart.
At first, they would suspect that the Green Vines Empire had bad intentions, and of course, the empire did have bad intentions.
In the initial stage, the empire still has to act as an honest and trustworthy, high-quality, and low-cost arms dealer and military service provider.
It's just that as the mermaid sea nation became obsessed with the taste of victory and became more and more dependent on the aid of the empire, it gradually became apparent that the relationship between the two parties was changing...
The relationship between supply and demand is a dynamic balance. There is no supplier on the same level as the Green Vines Empire in the market, and the sea country itself can't compete with Naga, so the empire has bargaining power.
The sea country may be making money now, but the empire will never lose money.
As long as the sea Kingdom fights with the Naga, even if they know the empire's wolfish ambitions, they will still choose to drink poison to quench their thirst.
The more little Ceiling Fan thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was brilliant. She had presided over a large-scale battle in person and proposed many implementation details.
At the end of the chat, Roger was confident that the Proxy War Proposal would be agreed upon by the Queen of Eternal Night, and then he would make great strides under the auspices of the small ceiling fan.
In the end, the vast sea will become the empire's mining site and will be a primary source of labor. Margaret, the initiator, will naturally gain a huge contribution, so there is no need to worry about losing His Majesty's favor.
Because this homework can be copied repeatedly, in any area where there are conflicts and disputes, the empire doesn't have to bear the infamy of the invaders, and also enjoys the benefits of the invaders.
Which emperor can refuse this kind of temptation?
At that time, Margaret, a journeyman, will be extremely valuable to the empire.
"Dio, shall we submit this proposal together?" Margaret offered to propose that she would not want to monopolize the benefits.
Roger shook his head and smiled, "I just spoke in a random direction, and the details behind are all your supplements, so there's no need to write my name."
Damn, this kind of thing sounds easy to say, but in practice, it needs to balance the forces of all parties, which is still very troublesome.
With the character of the empress, as long as Roger participates, he will be double exploited.
Maybe a few more shadow puppets will be sent over that night...
So this opportunity to be in the limelight is best left to a loyal minister like you!
How did Margaret know Roger's, Eternal salty heart? She thought she was giving herself the best chance, and shyly said, "This is inappropriate, I don't even know how to repay..."
Roger half-jokingly said, "There are indeed different ways to repay."
"You tell me!" Margaret immediately became nervous, and subconsciously sat up straight.
If he took the opportunity to threaten himself with a promise, would he agree directly, or should he hold back for a while before agreeing?
Or do some bargaining and try to start as a couple first?
In that way, I can be one step ahead of the blue-haired Virgin, right?
Roger didn't notice the subtle changes in Margaret's mood.
To him, the communication just now was like a network key. The exchange of game experience between the two P club players was average.
Pleasure is of course very pleasant, but you will also forget Margaret's gender, and you will never forget those delicate little daughter mentalities to think about.
After all, we were still discussing how to conquer the ocean with a huge cannon ship, and suddenly jumped to the stage of Romeo and Juliet, isn't it awkward?
So he still said in a relaxed and joking tone, "Don't be so nervous, as long as you keep in mind that the source of your favor is to make contributions to the empire, not to step on other people's limelight, I will be satisfied!"
"So... is that so? Don't worry, I won't forget it, haha."
The corner of Margaret's mouth twitched, trying to force a smile, but the final expression was uglier than crying.
It turns out that you made such a big circle and gave me great credit. Did you just persuade me not to compete with Angelina?
Good guy, what a curve to save the country!
This is indeed good advice from friends, but one should still be grateful, but Margaret felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
Blame damn Angelina!
Roger looked at her expression and realized that such a simple thing for others is really difficult for this little devil who has been fighting with all his strength to have everything he has today.
It is indeed not easy for her to work hard in the empire to the present level.
He put down the newspaper, his expression became serious, and he solemnly said word by word, "Don't worry, I will not stab my friend twice. Next, I will fight with you in the cabinet." advanced and retreated together."
The little half-breed devil tilted his head and looked at Dio with a puzzled look on his face, "My friend, how many standards are there..."
Roger didn't answer her doubts.
Everyone's standards are different, and everyone's expectations are different.
According to the common perception of human beings, making friends with demons is tantamount to a big gamble.
But he is still hoping that even this little devil will have a bright side in his heart, and he will always gain sincerity in the end by treating people with sincerity.
It's just that no one has given her such an opportunity before, so start with yourself and give her a new possibility, maybe the little hedgehog can also give herself a surprise.
Margaret waited for a long time, thinking that Roger would continue to promise that he would not be born in the same year and the same month, but would die in the same year and the same month.
As a result, he didn't write anymore.
Instead, he looked at yourself with the eyes of a loving elder, as if expressing that you are still young and you will understand when you grow up.
"You, you are a bastard." Margaret stepped on Dio in embarrassment.
I knew that those novels about knights were all deceitful. Men are so dull and stupid that they can't even lie to others with sweet words!
"What are you smoking today?" Roger didn't feel much pain but was taken aback by her sneak attack.
"Hmph, I'm leaving, goodbye!"
Margaret didn't explain and left with her head raised.
At least this bastard is nice to his friends. The disadvantage is that he is nice to any friend...
Hey, the strategy is not yet successful, so Margaret will continue to work hard!
From an angle that Roger couldn't see, the little devil had shown a particularly bright little face.
Anyway, she will have friends in the future, and they are friends she will cherish very much!
...
...
The ice room.
Roger, Joy Jr., and several important editors of "New Arcane" are interviewing a rather unique job applicant.
This is a young red dragon. After transforming, her human form has wild and coquettish facial features, a tall and hot figure, and a head of flaming long hair that reaches to her heels.
If she seriously dresses up according to the fashion of the empire, she will be a beauty who can amaze the entire upper class.
But now she is just casually wearing a straight long gown with a lot of folds on it, and her hair is casually loose.
Her posture in the chair is crooked as if she might slip to the ground at any time.
She was clearly at the right age for youth, but this Miss Honglong exuded the undisciplined smell of a middle-aged frustrated man wearing a big vest and eating watermelon in the cool breeze at the street corner.
Everyone can only be thankful, just looking sloppy, at least she doesn't smell curry yet.
An editor asked, "What is the source of inspiration for your article?"
"Inspiration? There's no inspiration at all. I just wrote what's on my mind!"
Another editor asked, "Do you have any articles to write in the future?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, the manuscript fee is at least enough for a month, right?"
Another asked, "Why did you come to the city of mystery?"
Miss Red Dragon laughed and said, "Our patriarch is going to fight the black dragon in the Underdark. I'm too lazy to go, so I hid. With the Queen of Eternal Night here, even the ancient red dragon would not dare to pursue me."
In other words, did you come to the Empire to escape military service?
The people of the empire are martial, so they can't help but show disdain.
After three questions, most of the editors present drew a big X under the name of Miss Red Dragon.
Although giant dragons are known to be very lazy, this red dragon lady named Che Guevara is the laziest of them all.
With her personality, she can't be expected to clock for work at a normal time and make progress on it, right?
At this moment, "New Arcane" ushered in a new round of enrollment.
The Dark Night Guard is getting busier and busier. Roger and Little Joey have too much work. Naturally, Yinbing Village needs more people to take care of it.
The articles published in "New Arcane" are becoming more and more profound, and the experiments of repeatability and authenticity verification are more and more difficult. Naturally, more editors and assistants are needed, and the level of magic is also getting higher.
I have no choice but to continue to recruit more people to undertake these complicated tasks.
The good news is that "New Arcane" and "Arcane Talk" complement each other and have formed a fixed routine.
As long as they continue to create controversial topics, the number of subscribers will never be low and the goal of enlightening the imperial magicians can be completed.
Miss Honglong came to Yinbing Village to apply for an internship.
Because she had previously written an article called "What Output Does the Magician Rely On."
[Relying on your magic power output? Relying on the equipment you carry? Relying on your staff to swing at people? Wake up! What do followers do, and what do mercenaries do? Did the old lady spend money to invite them to take a bath in the magma? 】
[Magician is a noble profession, 99% of the goals in the world are not worth our hands. 】
[Our core output should be money, buying equipment, hiring people, and offering rewards! As long as you move your hands in the mage tower, the output will be completed naturally, this is the life a mage should have]
[It is impossible to fight, and it will never be possible to fight in person. If the Magistrate wants to be rich, rich, or rich, those who need to fight on their own are reckless people who will sooner or later be wiped out by the times! 】
Although her article here is a bit biased, it even has the suspicion of bombarding a certain important person, and it is also suspected of professional discrimination.
But it is undeniable that her writing is very contagious and has caused a high degree of discussion on "Arcane Talk".
With such talent, the editors are willing to give Che Guevara a chance.
But the meeting is not as good as being famous. Seeing a real dragon, I just feel that is to the news.
According to the procedure, Che Guevara was invited out to wait for the news, and the editors had to discuss it.
"There's nothing to talk about, next one, right?" Little Joey is rigorous in his work and doesn't like such lazy people.
Roger waved his hand, "I think she is very suitable as the deputy editor-in-chief of "Arcane Talk"."
Everyone:???
Roger propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin on his crossed hands, and said with a smile, "Compared to Miss Che Guevara, the magicians in our empire are generally too hardworking and too belligerent. Although her thoughts are biased, it is just used to neutralize the unhealthy ethos of magicians who like to charge forward—the driving force behind technological progress is human laziness."
An editor said, "But president, it will be a joke if we hire a slacker deputy editor..."
"We were originally ridiculed for being whimsical. Everyone should eat the scum of a hundred shots of disintegration. Aren't we afraid of being laughed at?" Roger pretended to be surprised and laughed.
"I agree with the president. Che Guevara's ideas are provocative and can stimulate more magicians to transform into R&D and management positions."
Everyone stopped talking.
As we all know, the vice president will not object to the president. She will support him even if magic is not conserved.
In this way, Che Guevara got an offer.
To her, it would be more accurate to call it a long-term food stamp.
Roger doesn't care. There are a lot of hard-working people in Yinbingzhuang, and their subconscious enterprising spirit will lead to deviations in the thinking of the "New Arcane".
Che Guevara just neutralized this smell, as if he was asking too much for the price——
First give an extreme point of view that is impossible for you to accept, and then slowly backtrack. Will everyone agree?
After signing a large number of spare talents for training, the baldness came to an end.
When Roger returned to his office, Little Joey followed in quietly and closed the door behind him.
The president and the vice president are going to talk about the development plan for the magazine.
