Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City
Chapter 2479 Brilliant City Mission (Part 2)
At 7 o'clock in the morning, many people were busy inside the Brilliant City Embassy. Except for the 29 ambassadors, the other staff in the embassy were service personnel on the Asgard spacecraft. They were decorating the embassy. everything of.
Nigel listened to a team leader reporting on today's arrangements. He made some requests. As for food, part of it was Asgard's traditional cuisine, and part of it was food from Brilliant City.
Nigel has invited many famous chefs from Brilliant City to come over. Today, the Brilliant City's envoys will officially come, and both parties will sign a trade contract. In a few days, Asgard's spaceship will return, carrying the Brilliant City. The city's mission travels to space.
The list of the Brilliant City envoys was given to Nigel a while ago. Nigel had read the information of these ambassadors. Many of them were retired directors of the executive branch, and there were more of them in the 7th branch.
There is also a young man in his 20s who has just worked in 7 Core for a few months, Ji Qing.
Nigel attaches great importance to this girl's information, because her parents are both section chiefs, and her mother Ivy is also from a big family in the city. Bright City will arrange for such a young person to serve as an ambassador, which should be to promote the younger generations on both sides. of communication.
As for other purposes, Nigel and Hult discussed that if Ji Qing serves as ambassador for a long time, she will become an important figure connecting the two countries in the future.
The envoys of Brilliant City all seemed to be very well-organized, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Nigel also asked about these ambassadors at the banquet, and found that they were indeed former directors.
And many people still know them. Although Hert is still a little confused, overall there is basically no big problem.
After a while, Nigel went to the office upstairs. They had dealt with a lot of things in the past few days. One month after the ambassadors from Brilliant City went to Asgard, the two sides would start formal trade.
The Brilliant City envoy will arrive at 10 o'clock. There are still more than two hours left. Nigel looks at the agenda on the light and shadow screen. Every agenda is important.
Especially in today's signing ceremony, important figures from Brilliant City will appear, and the Queen of Asgard will also participate. Nigel and Helt had talked a lot with the Queen last night, and the Queen was very excited about this signing. The ceremony is taken very seriously.
All the founders of Asgard will be present, and all the great nobles will also be present. Asgard has also set up the venue, and the two sides will have a final summary talk on some of the currently traded goods.
At this time, Hert came in, pressing his head with a tired look on his face.
"What's wrong? Just woke up?"
Hurt nodded. He drank a little too much at the party last night, and he has been really tired recently because there are too many things to deal with, and they have very few manpower, so some tasks are very troublesome to handle.
Moreover, they are still a little uncomfortable with the high-intensity work atmosphere in Bright City. Now they fully understand how a giant city with such a large population operates. Because the work content is complicated, the work intensity is very high.
After all, there are less than 300,000 people in the administrative department of the entire Brilliant City, including the council members. This is too few managers for a big city with a population of more than 40 million.
Although Asgard only has a population of 3 million, there are actually nearly 500,000 managers with power from bottom to top, so it is quite easy to work.
"At the end of the day, we can feel a little more at ease."
Nigel said, and Hert nodded. What the two discussed most recently was about some cheap goods. These goods account for the largest share of the current trade between the two parties. This part requires extremely precise processing.
Today is the last time to confirm the goods to be traded by both parties in the first trade. Once confirmed, their domestic factories will be fully operational. In the future, when the goods are put on the market, the production speed will be slowed down, because it depends on market feedback.
There are no agents in the first round of trade. Only after the transactions between the two parties have stabilized for a period of time, and the second round of trade begins, can merchants from both sides freely go to each other's country to purchase some goods.
Only after the transaction takes a period of time can the exchange rate of the currencies of both parties be determined, and finally a normal trade system between the two countries can be established.
"Why don't we wait until the end of today and add some more staff to come over."
Nigel said. After Helt sat down, he poured a cup of tea and shook his head.
"I think it's better not to rush it."
After Helt finished speaking, Nigel pressed his forehead and smiled.
"Indeed, I'm too anxious. I've been really tired recently."
Asgard is not like Brilliant City. Although Brilliant City seems to have factions, their system will not allow factions to dominate the city. This is something the two of them have completely understood after staying there for so long.
But Asgard is different. There are many factions in Asgard. There are many factions among the founders, and the same goes for the nobles. If the army was not still firmly in the hands of the queen, a lot might have happened. A coup d'état.
However, even if the queen controls the army, the situation inside the country is completely different from that outside. The queen must find a way to check and balance the major factions and keep them stable.
Therefore, we have to agree to some conditions of the major factions in exchange for their absolute support, otherwise Asgard will not be able to maintain balance.
Although Katerina thought about integrating these factions many years ago, she gave up in the end because if anyone was affected, war would definitely begin and the country would most likely be divided.
Including Nigel himself belongs to the same faction. Only the first army is loyal to the queen, and the second, third, fourth and fifth armies are all in different factions.
Asgard is in a relatively delicate balance, and has been stable for thirty years under Katerina's rule.
Therefore, before the second trade begins, each major faction will definitely put their own people into the embassy to work. Nigel has discussed this with Hert before.
Adding more staff depends on the intentions of the major factions and who they choose. The two of them can only accept them all, Helter said with a helpless smile.
"To digress, I actually thought about it, the Queen asked the two of us to come out, our army group."
Hult stopped, Nigel raised his head and smiled.
"Indeed, letting the generals of our two armies serve as ambassadors is an opportunity to weaken our military power. It seems that the factions behind our two armies have benefited, but in fact? After we left, although the two armies There are trusted deputies sitting in, but some small places, or places we can't see, have begun to change quietly."
After Nigel finished speaking, Hert nodded.
"Indeed, although I haven't received any news yet, what is certain is that there should be changes in my army group."
Both of them understood the meaning of the Queen's move, and they had thought of it when they came out, but the factions behind their two armies really wanted them to go to Brilliant City as envoys, so that they could take advantage of foreign trade. .
Now they have the upper hand. 80% of the products they provide belong to the two factions, and only 20% belong to some founder factions who have a good relationship with them.
"The old guys must be dissatisfied now."
Nigel said, and Hurt nodded.
"Indeed, when the Queen was talking to us last night, I realized that those guys should have made "suggestions" to the Queen, and the Queen had to agree to these "suggestions."
Both of them have thought about this issue, which is why the Queen repeatedly urged them to complete the signing ceremony as soon as possible last night.
Because there were a lot of things going on in Bright City during this time, and a big news would break out every other day, the two of them went to the General Affairs Department many times. It was not until a few days ago that Alpha confirmed the signing date.
Now that the two of them have put their minds aside, after the Brilliant City's envoys leave for Asgard, those who hope that the Queen will start trade as soon as possible will calm down a bit.
"Have you thought about what to do?"
Hert looked at Nigel blankly. He knew very well that there was a reason why Nigel favored the queen. Nigel never said the specific reason. In the past, the Nigel family was suppressed by the queen. The entire family was suppressed by the queen. The family lost a lot of power in the center, and many clan members were even pushed to remote places after the power struggle ended.
Fortunately, Nigel's family seized some opportunities and achieved great success in business. Otherwise, Nigel's family would also be in decline now, relying on providing a large amount of materials and various benefits to the group army.
Nigel entered the army at a young age and was quickly promoted. At the age of 35, he finally took control of the Second Army.
"Why do you think we should obey the Queen?"
Nigel asked. He could see the doubts Hert had been having recently. Nigel smiled and came to the black and white chess, picked up a chess piece and said.
"You should know better than me what is going on in our country. After all, you have fully understood everything. At least your relationship with the rebels has been maintained for many years."
Helt frowned slightly, Nigel stood up and came to the window and said.
“Have you ever thought about doing something for that country in our lifetime?”
Hurt asked.
"There is something in your words today. What about you? What do you want to do for this country?"
Nigel said with a smile.
"Her Majesty the Queen is already very old. Although there is no problem in living to a hundred years old with the help of medical technology, can she continue to stabilize the imperial power in the future? The successors among the founders are already ready to move, and only one point is needed. Our country will plunge into endless darkness."
Hurt knew it, he said.
"I originally wanted to be the point. Actually I could have, had the opportunity."
Nigel raised his head and came into the sunlight. What he saw when he opened his eyes was a huge and vibrant city, and he asked.
"What do you think will happen if war comes to this city one day?"
Hurt said with a solemn expression.
"Are you serious? If we really go to war with Brilliant City, we will both lose. They have powerful mutants, gods, an integrated military power department, and an iron-fisted leader like Alpha."
Nigel pressed the window edge, nodded slightly and said.
"Indeed, not only will we lose both sides, we may even risk being destroyed. As far as I know, the history of this city is very bloody. Although I only heard it from some drunk family members, it has never been Judging from what happened with the Hillman family, they will not give in on some issues."
Helt said, somewhat understanding what Nigel was going to say.
"You mean, war is bound to come."
Nigel turned around, his eyes completely changed, and he said with a serious expression.
"There are obviously many candidates coming to Brilliant City. Why are we two generals sent here?"
boom.
Nigel said as Helt pounded the table angrily.
"Although I don't know what kind of agreement our old men and the queens have reached, there is one thing I am sure of."
Hurt raised his hands and said.
"In order to disrupt the growing ambitions of some founders and great nobles, the best way is to expand externally and guide internal conflicts to the outside, right?"
Nigel nodded, and then he said.
"There is one thing I really want to do now, and that is to prevent the war between the two countries. Maybe you and I will consider this from the perspective of the queen, because if she does not start a war, one day she will be squeezed out. Get off the throne. And she really wants to sit on the throne forever."
Hurt pressed his forehead and smiled.
"We are all just pawns of the queen, but there is one thing I hope you can understand, Nigel. I like this city very much. I feel that I can forget a lot of things here."
Nigel laughed.
"Me too, but our position does not allow us to do anything that goes against the national interest. I hope you remember this, Helt."
Nigel turned around and planned to go down and continue to take a look at the current decoration situation. He said when he came to the door.
"If there is a chance in the future, let's talk about this topic again. I said if, if one day. If there is really no way."
Helt looked at Nigel in shock, and then asked.
"Are you saying this as a joke? Or are you serious?"
Nigel laughed.
"It depends on how things develop. Instead of letting those old men direct things from behind all day long, the future should be left to young people. Right."
After Nigel left, Hert's expression was extremely solemn. He didn't expect that his old friend had such a plan hidden in his heart. Now Helt also understood it. Although he was the one who levered Asgar The moral point is feasible, but it is far less practical than the external point.
Now Helt thought clearly, he came to the window with a smile and said.
“We can really look forward to the future.”
