5th of March, Overlord City.
In a secret room of the city lord's mansion, Xiong Ba and Dragon Searching Acupoint were negotiating. They chose to negotiate in Overlord City to avoid Shanhai City's "eyes".
Two days ago, the confidants of both sides had held four rounds of secret negotiations and basically finalized the "cooperation". The two were now talking face to face to make the final confirmation.
Dragon Searching Acupoint spoke first, "After leaving Shanhai Alliance and joining Yanhuang Alliance, I want the same treatment and status as Wandering Huan."
As the only civilian player lord in Yanhuang Alliance, Wandering Huan had become the benchmark for other grassroots lords to work with Yanhuang Alliance.
If Wandering Huan knew about this, what would he think?
"Okay." Xiong Ba nodded in agreement.
Dragon Searching Acupoint continued, "If the matter is exposed and Shanhai City sends troops to attack Dragon Searching City, you have the obligation to send troops to help. No excuses or excuses are allowed. This is also included in the agreement. "
According to the secret cooperation agreement between the two, Dragon Searching City was not in a hurry to defect to Yanhuang Alliance. Firstly, this could paralyze Shanhai City, and secondly, they could spy on Shanhai City's secrets.
For Dragon Searching Acupoint, if it worked well, it could even take both sides.
[Yan Huang Alliance] wasn't in a hurry either. Although [Silver Hand] agreed to help, it was too far away. For the time being, they could only cut off Shanhai City's wings and shorten the gap between [Yan Huang Alliance] and Shanhai City.
After Dragon Searching Acupoint rebelled and mastered the relevant technology, not only would Overlord City have to build a new navy fleet, Battle Wolves would also have to build a navy in the East Sea Province's Haizhou Port, and Di Chen would train the navy in the Zhili Province's Haijin Port. Even Lord Chunshen, who was inland, would have to build a navy on the Yangtze River.
In this way, Yanhuang Alliance would be able to control the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and even the East Sea, forming a north-south confrontation with Shanhai City's navy.
In addition, Yanhuang Alliance would also start the industrialization of their territory. With the deep foundation of the aristocratic families and their rich talent pool, they would not be too far behind Shanhai City.
However, all of this needed time.
Therefore, Yanhuang Alliance did not want to have a direct conflict with Shanhai City before they were sure. It was undoubtedly the best choice to set up an ambush in the Alliance of Mountains and Seas.
Xiong Ba replied with a smile, "Of course, that's for sure. We're allies, so we definitely won't leave you in the lurch. Besides, if Shanhai City were to take over Minnan Province, they would be facing my Jiangnan Province. Tell me, would I allow Shanhai City to have their way and do nothing? "
Xiong Ba's reply made Dragon Seeking Acupoint Acupoint speechless.
Even though he was a stubborn person, deep in his heart, he was still fearful of Shanhai City. If it wasn't for the [Yan Huang Alliance] and the [Silver Hand] supporting him, he would never dare to have the idea of betrayal.
The Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point continued, "If we withdraw from the Mountain and Sea Alliance in the future, the Bank of the Four Seas will definitely cut off our loans to Dragon Seeking City. In that case, my Dragon Seeking City will collapse, and Huitong Bank will take over the loan. "
"That's not a problem." Xiong Ba readily agreed and lightly said, "Do you have any other requests?"
Xunlong Acupoint Acupoint Master's expression froze. He understood Xiong Ba's unspoken words: "Don't push your luck."
After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Should I go and persuade the Siege Lion? He's my good brother."
"How confident are you?" Xiong Ba asked.
"At least fifty percent."
Xiong Ba shook his head, "If you don't have full confidence, don't talk about instigating defection, you'd better remove this idea from your mind. Don't you know better than me what kind of opponent Wu Yi is? Don't alert them. "
Hearing this, Dragon Seeking Acupoint Acupoint looked a little depressed.
Xiong Ba suddenly smiled and patted Xunlong's shoulder, saying, "Well, don't be discouraged. With [Hand of Silver] as a backing, there will always be a time to incite the Siege Lion. "
The Seeking Dragon Acupuncture Point nodded.
Seeing this, Xiong Ba said, "Since we have reached an agreement, there is no need to test each other. Let's sign the cooperation agreement so that you can get the technology authorization earlier, right? "
Taking a deep breath, Xunlong Acupoint expelled all distracting thoughts from his mind and said, "Sign it!"
At this moment, there was no turning back for Xunlong Acupoint Master.
On the 6th of March, the lords of the China server were dumbfounded by the three consecutive system notifications.
"System Notification: [Steam Engine Manufacturing Technology] has been authorized to more than five territories in the China server, officially becoming a common technology in the wilderness. Congratulations to all lords!"
…
"System Notification: [Weaving Machine Manufacturing Technology] has been authorized to more than five territories in the China server, officially becoming a common technology in the wilderness. Congratulations to all lords!"
…
"System Notification: [Sailing Battleship Manufacturing Technology] has been authorized to more than five territories in the China server, officially becoming a common technology in the wilderness. Congratulations to all lords!"
The lords subconsciously thought that Shanhai City had opened up these three key technologies to the public.
Almost at the same time, [Yan Huang Alliance] made a joint statement on the forums, saying that they had spent a large sum of money to purchase these three core technologies from America, and that they had licensed them to the lords of the China server for free, in order to break through the technological barriers of the China server and increase the overall strength of the China server.
In the statement, [Yan Huang Alliance] claimed to be the leader of the China server. In order to increase the strength of the China server and gain an advantage in the future wars, they had put in a lot of effort and put in a lot of effort.
They did not forget to secretly mock Shanhai City, hinting that Shanhai City was too selfish, obtaining advanced technology from the west early on, but keeping it to themselves, not knowing how to share it with the other lords.
This time, [Yan Huang Alliance] had taken the moral high ground.
In order to increase their credibility, [Yan Huang Alliance] even posted the relevant photos on the forums.
The evidence was conclusive.
Seeing this, the lords immediately fell silent.
[Yan Huang Alliance]'s move was beautiful, turning the technology that was originally going to be forcefully promoted by Gaia into their merit. Those who did not know better would have thought that [Yan Huang Alliance] was some kind of Lei Feng.
The Wilderness Lords were not idiots, they could roughly understand the logic behind this. However, understanding was one thing, they had benefited greatly from this incident, it was indisputable.
[Yan Huang Alliance]'s criticism of Shanhai City, in the eyes of the Wilderness Lords, was naturally reasonable.
"That's right. Why did [Yan Huang Alliance] share the technology so generously? Why did Shanhai City obtain the technology earlier, and treat their allies differently? Isn't it because they wanted to prevent the spread of technology?! "
This time, Shanhai City would not be able to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River. If it wasn't for the fact that there were less than a hundred Wilderness Lords after the previous battles, Shanhai City would have become the target of public criticism.
With the battle for the satellite cities, as well as this technology licensing incident, [Yan Huang Alliance] played a beautiful public relations game, turning around the disadvantageous situation after the Battle of Yunnan.
And the root of all of this was [Silver Hand].
… …
Regarding this matter, Shanhai City maintained a rare silence.
This slap to the face was indeed painful.
Ouyang Shuo never thought that [Yan Huang Alliance] would be able to obtain these core technologies so quickly. He didn't want to spread these three technologies in China too early, so he was wary of [Yan Huang Alliance].
This was because Ouyang Shuo knew that once [Yan Huang Alliance] grasped these core technologies. Based on their talent pool, Shanhai City would have no advantage in this industrial competition.
In the end, the development of the situation was out of Ouyang Shuo's control, resulting in the current situation.
In the government circles, there was a saying, 'favorable wind' and 'unfavorable wind'.
It was said that once a person was unfavorable, a hundred times would be unfavorable.
Ouyang Shuo was wondering if Shanhai City had encountered such a low point?!
"I need to stay calm." Ouyang Shuo thought. The more it was at this time, the more he couldn't panic. With Shanhai City's strength, as long as Ouyang Shuo didn't make a mistake, the opponent wouldn't be able to do anything to Shanhai City.
… …
Ouyang Shuo was only surprised, but someone was already flustered and exasperated.
This person was naturally Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point.
Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point, the Mayor's Mansion.
When Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point heard the system notification, he was stunned for a moment, unable to react. After a while, a sense of shame and anger from being fooled uncontrollably burst forth from the bottom of his heart.
"F * ck, a bunch of bastards!"
Xunlong Acupoint Acupoint was so angry that he flew into a rage in the study. He threw vases, inkstones, scrolls and other things everywhere.
"Xiong Ba, I'm not done with you!"
Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point's eyes were bloodshot, wanting to argue with Xiong Ba. But as soon as he stepped out of the room, he reacted and his face instantly turned pale.
The cooperation agreement had already been signed. What could he do to Xiong Ba now?
Fight to the death?
The biggest possibility was that the fish would die, but the net wouldn't break.
Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point had just stepped out of the door, but he slowly retracted his foot.
One day, Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point locked himself in the study, refusing to see anyone. Even when the maids brought him lunch, they were chased away by him in exasperation.
The entire Chancellor's Mansion trembled in fear, shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.
And all of this fell into the eyes of those who were observant.
Shanhai City, Southern Border Protectorate Manor.
In the study, Ouyang Shuo had a complicated expression as he asked, "Have you confirmed the information?"
Shen Buhai, the commander of the Shanhai Guards, who was sitting below him, replied, "Yes. During this period, Dragon Seeking City and Overlord City have been flirting with each other, and the people from both sides have been meeting frequently. And just yesterday, Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point left alone. When he returned to Dragon Seeking City again, his expression was obviously different. Coupled with his abnormal behavior today, I suspect that the worst situation has already happened. "
When Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point shouted "Xiong Ba", it was clearly heard by the people outside the door.
Ouyang Shuo nodded.
As early as when Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point threw a tantrum and contacted a third party, Ouyang Shuo had been guarding against Dragon Seeking City. When the Battle of Chibi ended, he even made a comprehensive emergency plan.
He just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"Is it [Silver Hand] again?" Such a thought flashed across Ouyang Shuo's mind. This was probably the only factor that could make Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point so determined.
