Chapter 61 Common prosperity
For the poor people in the other world whose productivity levels are still in the medieval era, even the unscrupulous capital interest groups, they are not willing to take the pest. The losses provided are indeed well documented and are the result of the Japanese government's careful calculations.
Anyway, no matter how much the offer is, the Fight Dun Empire will definitely not be able to afford it. Instead of making up an even more exaggerated number, it is better to report it to the truth and use a dignified and open plot, so as not to record this past in history in the future, and the decision makers involved in this historical event will bear the bad reputation of conspiracy and fraud.
Ginza, Tokyo is one of the three prosperous centers in the world that are as famous as the Champs Elysees and the Fifth Avenue of the Hope Country. The land price has already soared to sky-high prices. The value of commercial land per square meter is around 30 million yen, which is truly valuable in every inch of land.
The 60,000 invading legion of the Axeton Empire robbed the bustling commercial street and smashed it all. The losses caused by the loss were actually not too great. The lost goods and damaged buildings were definitely not worth 200 billion US dollars.
The reason why such a huge loss was calculated was that after the time and space gate was opened in Ginza, it could no longer exist as a commercial street. Japan forcibly requisitioned this land and built a military base to guard the time and space gate in Ginza. In this way, one of the three prosperous centers in the world was directly missing, causing huge economic losses to Japan.
Originally, Japan was determined to exchange Ginza Commercial Street for a different world with extremely rich resources, which would not be a loss. However, Hope Country seized control of the space-time gate, and the interests of the space-time gate should be shared with the member states of the Allied Organization. In this way, Japan would be a loss.
So the Japanese government set up a small plan again, found accountants and actuaries to calculate, and accounted for the requisition of Ginza Commercial Street, and wanted to reimburse the other world development agreement organization to reimburse it.
After getting this account, Hope Kingdom was just laughing at it. He originally wanted to find a reason to lie, but a quick-minded consultant suddenly had an idea and moved the account to another world, and used it in negotiations with the Fighting Empire, and presented it to Emperor Motel as evidence of asking for sky-high compensation.
The equivalent of 200 billion US dollars is exactly 200,000 tons. The richest family in the Axeton Empire has accumulated less than a ton of gold. How could they believe the loss accounts presented by Sir Humphrey? Even if the account book is in front of you, they insist that all these are fake accounts.
"I can understand your doubts. After all, you are used to being poor and have never seen a lot of money."
Sir Humphrey showed a contemptuous expression, looking at the imperial nobles in gorgeous dresses like a local bun, and said in a kind tone of caring for the disabled: "We have made arrangements for this. If Your Majesty does not believe in the evidence of loss we provide and does not agree with our algorithm for calculating the value of loss, we can receive the Minister of Finance of your country to go to the other end of the time and space gate to investigate us. You can also send actuaries to teach your civil servants how to calculate wealth in our world. I believe that after the inspection and exchange activities, you will understand how big a fuss you have invaded our army."
Seeing that Sir Humphrey was full of confidence and was not afraid of lies being exposed, the monarch and minister of the Fighting Empire began to doubt the belief. Since the other party arranged for the Fighting Empire to send officials to investigate, Emperor Motel agreed.
The current situation is that if the other party does not lose money, the other party will have to attack the city. If you can't afford to pay, you can only take one step and count it on one day.
The nobles of the Fighting Empire immediately organized an inspection team led by the Minister of Finance. Under the escort of the soldiers of the Hope Kingdom, they went to the time and space gate base, passed through the time and space gate, and arrived at the real-side earth, and conducted an investigation on the real-side earth.
These medieval local buns came to the modern world and visited several prosperous cities in the world under the reception of several major powers around the world... After a round trip, the nobles of the Axe Empire entered the Grand View Garden like Liu Laolao, which was a very eye-opener.
Compared with the bustling metropolises lined up with tall buildings on Earth, the capital of the Aodun Empire, known as the largest city in another world, is simply a big rural area. The wealth accumulated by the Aodun Empire across the country is not as good as a third-tier city on Earth.
They finally believed in the authenticity of the loss accounts provided by Sir Humphrey. It was like a poor man accidentally broke a vase from a rich family, thinking that he might be able to afford it if he gritted his teeth. But after someone's guidance, he realized that the vase he had broken was an extremely rare antique and could not afford it even if he sold it.
After returning to the capital, the Minister of Finance reported the results of the investigation to Emperor Motel with a sad face and told the emperor that the Fight Dun Empire was really in trouble this time. The compensation he asked for was not only not as big as the lion's mouth, but also looked at the conscience price given by the Fight Dun Empire so poor.
Emperor Motel had no choice but to summon Sir Humphrey again and confessed to him in shame that the Axeton Empire would not be able to provide this war compensation in the short term.
"Your Majesty, we have also considered the situation that you cannot afford to compensate."
Sir Humphrey showed a fox-like smile and said with a smile: "We are not a devil. You can't destroy your country just because your country cannot afford compensation. Although it is easy to destroy your country, if you cannot recover the compensation, you will waste military expenses in vain. If your country cannot afford compensation, we can help your country find a way. As long as your country signs a trade agreement with us, opens trading ports, rents land to us, and protects the rights and interests of our merchants in your country, this compensation is not unavailable."
The monarchs and ministers of the Fight Dun Empire immediately understood that this was to force them to sign an unequal treaty. Once the treaty was signed, these invaders from other worlds could reasonably and legally reside on the territory of the Fight Dun Empire and constantly erode the Fight Dun Empire.
Emperor Motel's expression was shady and sunny. He wanted to be a saint who had a name in history, but he became an incompetent tyrant who signed a treaty of losing power and humiliation. Even though the Fighton Empire is now in a desperate situation, he still didn't want to let it go.
"I can't agree to such a condition!"
Emperor Motel shook his head slowly and said firmly: "I have signed a so-called treaty with you, and the Axeton Empire will eventually fall into your hands. I do not want to be the sinner of the empire!"
"Your Majesty, let's consider it again. Such a treaty is also beneficial to your country, especially your nobles. After the treaty is signed, our merchants and your nobles will definitely have many opportunities for cooperation, and they will share the profits with the nobles at that time."
Sir Humphrey curled his lips and said with a smile: "You have already seen several noble gentlemen of your side inspecting the prosperity and comfort of our world. I believe that after returning, I mentioned it to other nobles. Don't you want to use the various luxury goods we provide here to live a luxurious and enjoyable life like the rich people in our world?
The profits of your people from planting the crops are far less than those of the factory and mines. At that time, the nobles will send the people of their territory to our factories, and we will share the profits earned with the lords, and make money together. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
