Chapter 133 It's always been like this, right?
All effective "mouth gun attacks" in this world come from the powerful strength that truly exists.
Without strong enough strength as a support, letting it go all out, the other party would not care about it at all.
Just like North, what really convinced Spandain and even the Five Old Stars was not those simple words, but the explosive rock in his hand.
What is this called? Oh yes, physical persuasion.
But what the Five Old Stars don’t know is that this is nothing special to them. It’s just an ordinary sea calendar in 1518. Ten explosive rocks can be recovered every year, and they can be recovered sooner or later.
But North knew. It was less than two years since the Son of the Plane went to sea, and less than four years before the Son of the Plane became the fifth emperor. There was not much time left for the world government.
Exchanges were suspended, and officials from the world government were taken to the welcome hotel to rest.
at night.
The captain of the National Guard, Basolomy Bear, stood on the roof of a building, looking at the city below, and murmured to himself: "When others suspect that you have weapons of mass destruction, you'd better have it." I really didn't expect that what North said back then had become a reality."
The bear knew very well that if they had no explosive rock in their hands, the negotiations would not have been so smooth.
"It's just that this explosive rock is not a real weapon of mass destruction after all. So what North said will be? I'm really looking forward to it."
Just as Xiong was thinking in his heart, his domineering aura suddenly caught something, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said in a deep voice: "There is something in the ninth block."
"receive."
These people sent by the world government will never go to the welcome hotel to sleep quietly.
Officials argued indoors, and agents had already been dispatched to find the whereabouts of the explosive rock.
It's a pity that they must be in vain.
The explosive rocks that Zefa stolen had long been transported to the Sky Island by North using a space-time mining truck.
Tonight, the civilians on Kokoa Island worked, played, and rested as usual, and did not feel anything wrong.
But in a corner that is difficult for ordinary people to observe, the World Government agents and the special forces under North have already fought many silent battles.
The Red Warrior soldiers who can be upgraded, outstanding talents discovered by the people, and the current mechanical country, even if they do not consider those advanced weapons, are definitely the country with the strongest strength in the East China Sea.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
...
After struggling for a night, the sun finally rose again.
After all, it was not a public declaration of war, but just a secret contest, so the methods of both sides were relatively restrained and did not cause any serious damage.
Compared to yesterday, some agents' actions showed a faint discomfort and seemed to be injured. It was obvious that they had not been able to get any advantage.
Both sides tacitly did not mention this matter, Hello, I, Hello, everyone.
As soon as Spandain saw North, he stretched out his hand from afar, showed a 'friendly' smile and said, "Congratulations to Mr. North, the Five Old Stars have agreed to your application. You can return 10 pieces of explosive rocks a year."
Explosive rock is usually sealed in a container, and one portion refers to a bottle and a can, but in fact there is only one.
North also smiled and held Spandain's hand.
It seems that "physical persuasion" is indeed much more practical than "reasonable persuasion".
Before North could speak, Spandain spoke with a provocative look on his face: "So today, let's talk about the third thing, the gold in the sky. Oh, it hurts... You can let me go..."
"Oh my hand."
Spandain rubbed his hands with a sad face and shouted, "What do you mean? Are you going to provoke the majesty of the world government?"
"I just don't like your expression. Spandain, you'd better keep it a little bit calm."
“I…I…I…I…I…”
Spandain wanted to say something harsh, but was frightened by North's momentum and changed his words: "I just want to remind you that the amount of gold in your country is time to increase."
"What's the reason?"
"Your country has expanded its territory and its population is increasing, and of course the amount of gold in the sky is also increasing. What is the best explanation for this?"
The gold in heaven actually has nothing to do with the word "tax". It is completely an ill-gotten fortune plundered by the world government from the people.
In addition to normal taxes, islands with naval bases built on the islands and directly ruled by the world government also have to pay extra money from heaven. If they refuse to pay, they will be executed directly.
The gold in heaven can be said to be "buying life money".
For those islands without naval bases and ruled by the kingdom, civilians first had to pay taxes to the king, and then the king paid heavenly gold to the world government.
As for how this heavenly gold comes from, it depends on what kind of king it is. It may be directly calculated in taxes, may also require additional wealth, and may also minimize the burden on civilians. The specific situation varies.
In this country of North, the gold in heaven is offset by high-quality arms.
North couldn't help but squint after reading the documents handed over by Spandain.
He found that this was not as simple as the so-called "population expansion", and this was purely a conspiracy of the five old stars.
Conspiracy refers to those sneaky means that people fall into a trap without realizing it, such as the "squatting" when playing games.
Open conspiracy is a naked move, just like a "forced group" of the superior side when playing games. It is uncomfortable for the other side to take action, and it is uncomfortable if they don't take action.
The requirement for the document to go to heaven and gold has far exceeded the normal amount, and this time the name is not allowed to be offset by weapons, as long as cash is required.
Acceptance means losing a lot of money.
If you don't accept it, it means that you will not only be deprived of your identity as a franchise, but also give the world government a legitimate reason to send troops to attack.
"Because the other party refused to hand over the gold of the sky, he sent troops to attack him." This logic of robbers should have been untenable.
But this has been the case for hundreds of years, and the whole world has already defaulted on this rule, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this.
Only occasionally some civilians who are forced to survive will rise up and resist, and most civilians have long been numb.
North looked at Spandain and said, "We agree."
"Did you agree?" Spandain was stunned and pointed to the provisions on the document and said, "Mr. North, you must be clear. This time you must use cash and prohibit the use of equal amounts of arms."
"I saw it, isn't it just cash? I'll give it to it. But..."
"Just what?"
"But are you here a little earlier? The gold in heaven is paid once a year, and it's not the time yet, right?"
"That's natural. We're here just to remind you in advance so that you can avoid getting busy at that time."
"Then I thank you, I thank your whole family."
“…”
Spandain couldn't speak for a moment. The other party's words were obviously thanking him, but he always felt something strange was wrong.
"It's okay, right? Save the guests!"
North turned around and left at the command, and the diplomat stopped Spandain and others.
"Isn't it just cash? Just give it to you, just a pile of waste paper."
North had long had the idea of issuing its own country's currency. Although it cannot blatantly oppose the world government now, it can make a transition in the form of "national debt".
