Sandy agreed to delete the intercommunication clause in the draft agreement, and at the same time reminded Xi Nuo: just a return of twice the cost of the machinery would not satisfy the other Snow Deer officials.

As one of the negotiating representatives, Sandy does not have the right to make decisions.

If during the agreement process tomorrow, they see a formal agreement with key clauses deleted, the other ministers of Snow Deer may lose control of their emotions and break away from Sandy's control, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Xinuo could tell that this was not an excuse for Sandy to bargain. Snow Deer officials really did not attach that much importance to this alliance, so they definitely did not want to suffer a disadvantage.

Xuelu officials thought that the so-called country of stars was probably just a tribe formed by tens of thousands of savages, far from being called a country, so they were able to hide without a trace.

For such a small country, Xuelu officials both despised and hated it, and couldn't understand why such a savage tribe could attract dragon warriors comparable to Xuelu to join.

Therefore, Xuelu officials coveted the Dragon Warriors of the Land of Stars and the natural resource reserves of the eight surrounding islands, but they did not expect this small archipelagic country to develop and grow in the future, and even to unite with them geographically to form a strategic terrain advantage.

Regarding this point, Hino knew it well.

From an objective point of view, the Kingdom of Stars really needs Xuelu's confidential technical support at present, and it is impossible to satisfy the Xuelu royal family by only exchanging the six machines at twice the cost.

How to properly get Xuelu's representatives to accept the deal, Xinuo still sincerely asked Sandy for advice——

"One year's mining rights on the North Island, the output will be divided equally between the two countries." Sandy calmly gave a suggestion: "Don't worry, listen to me, Xi Nuo, those machines brought by Snow Deer, if you don't It will be damaged and run endlessly, so it will take about one or two hundred years to recover the loss caused by one year's mining rights. You may think this is a disadvantage, but have you ever thought that without those core technologies of machinery, your country The development of production capacity will be imprisoned within ten years, and you can only benefit the people by squeezing the power of a few dragons, so that after thousands of years, you will not even be able to use the underground resources of the North Island. Think about it carefully , which option has the greater loss?"

Hino was speechless, staring at Sandy with some anxiety.

Knowing that if he relies on Sandy's resourcefulness, he will control the initiative if he is not careful, but Hino has to use his resourcefulness and foresight.

Sandy has a winning secret different from other politicians - common interests.

His principle of conduct is that all goals will allow allies to obtain equal or even more benefits, so those who talk to him will unknowingly regard him as one of their own, or even a mentor.

Have to admit, Sandy was right.

The Land of Stars needs the crystallization of technology accumulated by Snow Deer for thousands of years, otherwise it will soon fall into a desperate situation where labor is scarce and resources cannot be utilized.

In the end, Hino only asked one question: "I hope you can tell me frankly, Grandpa Sandy, why are you willing to form an alliance with us even after making so many concessions?"

Sandy took a deep breath and looked at the elf calmly: "There are many reasons for this, and they are also very complicated. Some of them may not be understood by you, but as long as you mention the most obvious point, you should understand: once our two countries unite , the number of dragon warriors can immediately have an absolute deterrent to Aowei. From then on, we don't need to be on guard all day long about Aowei's movements. The deployment of the garrison on the Xuelu border can also be adjusted, saving at least 1000 yuan a year. How many tens of thousands of Brown's military expenses, otherwise, how do you think I can persuade His Majesty to send you the few royal machines that cut the flesh?"

Hino lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Sandy: "I really wish I was your friend, the people of Snow Deer are very lucky to be guarded by someone like you."

Sandy's ferret-like round eyes blinked, and she tilted her head and asked, "So why don't you want to be my real friend."

Hino pursed his lips into a smile, and replied in a low voice with regret: "Politicians have no friends, only temporary alliances, and you are the most competent politician I have ever seen."

The final agreement is to give back the North Island's mining rights for one year, and the resources produced will be shared equally between the two countries.

The officials of the Kingdom of Stars did not understand why the price changed from just twice the cost of machinery to one year of North Island mining rights, but after Xino analyzed the pitfalls of the previous draft agreement in detail, all the officials pinched it. After breaking into a cold sweat, they lamented the elf prime minister's astonishing insight and resourcefulness in turning the crisis into safety.

A representative of the historian suggested that all the details of the initial alliance be recorded in the annals of history, and that the Prime Minister be awarded the Medal of Outstanding Personal Contribution.

Hino is also very satisfied with his performance this time, almost supernormal, and he really wants this medal of honor to encourage himself.

But the problem is that according to the laws of the Kingdom of Stars, the "Personal Medal of Outstanding Contribution" should be proposed by the Son of God and submitted to the House of Lords for review and award.

In the past, when it was necessary to go through this process, Hino held a bunch of materials and directly explained to Ilsa why a certain medal should be awarded to a certain person, and then asked Ilsa to print his fingerprints and hand it over to the House of Lords. awarded.

This is very embarrassing, because Hino can't tell Ilsa by himself, "How much contribution I have made this time, what honor should you award me."

How to do it?

Contributions are recorded in the annals of history and medals are awarded. Even elves cannot resist the temptation of such glory.

Hino can't arrange for his subordinates to go down and remind Ilsa to do this, because it's illegal for upper house officials to interfere with the nomination of honorees...

I had to remind Ilsa of these things before because Ilsa was too lazy to take care of government affairs. Hino reminded Ilsa as a friend, but he could not send other officials to remind Ilsa as "friends" to grant him His own medal of merit, if this is included in the unofficial history, it will become a stain on him.

So, this matter can only be seen if Ilsa has eyesight.

Hino recalled Xiao Panglong's handling style, and found that the possibility of being awarded a medal was zero.

Damn it, the elves ignited their fighting spirit!

No matter what, he should fight for his honor once.

So, on the beautiful afternoon after signing the agreement, Hino personally baked five small pans of biscuits, took the attendants together, and brought the biscuits into Ilsa's room.

When he opened the door and saw the five plates of biscuits in the servant's hand, Ilsa's eyes seemed to be stepped on the tip of his tail suddenly. Blocking the way for five attendants to enter the room, a pair of purple pupils carried a faint danger, trying to force the attendants back and let them take the biscuits to Claude's room next door.

Hino burst out laughing—seeing five plates of biscuits he baked at once, how happy the little fat dragon is!I was so excited that I couldn't stand still.

Hino stepped forward to hold Ilsa's arm, and pulled him into the house...pull him...pull...why can't he be pulled?

"Come in to eat biscuits? What are you doing standing at the door?" Hino gently raised his head and asked His Highness, Son of God.

His Medal of Glory is in this guy's hands!

Ilsa glanced sideways, and was dazzled by the elf's beautiful smile. For a moment, she forgot the threat of five plates of biscuits, straightened up, and obediently followed Xi Nuo into the room.

Followed by five plates of biscuits, they were placed on the small round table on the terrace by the attendant.

"Why five games?" Ilsa asked unwillingly, "Even if Isa needs to learn the Wu language, two games are enough."

"I don't want you to learn to bake cookies for you!" Hino raised his hand shyly and straightened the button of Ilsa's shirt, and whispered, "I'm quite satisfied with the alliance agreement that was finally signed today. If I'm in a good mood, I'll give it to you." Bake some cookies."

Ilsa frowned unconvinced: "Five dishes? It's the first time Isa flew to the top of the mountain, so I only baked one dish. The agreement is five times happier than Isa."

"I'm afraid you'll be proud! It can't be counted like that." Hino hurriedly explained the importance he attaches to Ilsa: "And I baked two plates for you at that time, and you gave one to Di Carlo yourself. "

Still dissatisfied, Ilsa looked down at the elf and made a serious promise: "Ilsa will work hard to win the agreement."

"No cute little chubby dragon will compete with the agreement! It's two different things." Hino hurriedly shifted the focus back: "Ilsa, I'm not happy because I like the agreement, but because, because I... I It took a lot of effort, "

Hino winked and hinted to Irsa with emotion, and stretched out the key words: "Finally--for the people of our country of stars, this--an important agreement has been negotiated. ——The small—price, in exchange for the snow deer core—core—technology that can accelerate the development of national strength, I am very happy when I think that the people will be richer because of this." Hino blinked desperately at Irsa, with a full face expect!

Ilsa tilted his head and stared suspiciously at the elf. Gradually, his eyes lit up, and he slowly approached the elf's face: "That..."

"Hmm..." Hino looked shy and his heart beat faster.

"Then those eyes are gray?" Ilsa raised her hand and pinched his eyelids.

"No!" Hino opened Ilsa's paw, disappointed!

It's useless.

This little chubby dragon has always been stupid, euphemistic hints are useless, it must be more direct!

Hino turned on his toes, turned his back, took a deep breath slowly, and decided to implement the second plan——

He suddenly cleared his throat three times in the direction outside the door.

The historian waiting outside the door immediately knocked on the door, and shouted emotionally: "Master Prime Minister! This alliance, your meritorious service will last forever, and your name should go down in history! Please don't shirk any more. Submit it to the House of Lords for approval as soon as possible!"

"Who?" Ilsa turned around wondering.

"It's him again, historian Eamon Lane." Shino sighed, walked to the terrace, leaned on the marble fence, and said with a melancholy expression: "I am the prime minister of the kingdom of stars, and I will do my best to benefit the people. What about meritorious work? I don’t need those false names, but these historians refused. After signing the agreement, he kept pestering me about meritorious honors. I'm so tired...hey..."

"That..." Ilsa's purple pupils froze, and she walked up to the elf in two or three steps, holding the tip of the elf's chin with one hand!

Hino's heart skipped a beat, and he looked aside in panic.

No wonder Elf baked five pans of cookies...

Ilsa's other hand slowly clenched into a fist.

Suddenly letting go, and turning around, Ilsa walked to the door with long legs, and opened the door suddenly!

Understood!He finally understood!

Hino is so excited!Ears pricked up to wait for Little Fat Dragon to announce nominations for the Medal of Merit...

The Tomi official standing at the door looked up at the Son of God with confused eyes.

Ilsa raised her hand and hit the pure copper doorknob. With a "click", the whole handle was removed, and she handed it to the official. She put a thumb against the middle of the handle, and forcibly broke the copper handle. !

"If you dare to pester Nana again, Isa's hand will hold your neck." Isa warned in a low voice, her vertical eyes locked on the historian like a god of death.

The unlucky Tomi official was so frightened that he didn't move for a full minute, and then ran away without saying a word.

Shino on the terrace was so angry that his eyes turned black and he couldn't stand on his feet...

The author has something to say: Hino: Hide all the goat milk in the country!Don't even give this unfilial son a drink
