Chapter 779 Rich Local Products
As for Prince Lyon, of course I don't want to go there at all.
After hearing what Queen Veronica said, the young lady-in-waiting couldn't help but steal a glance at her, and then she stared at some parts that made others envious.
When the wedding was halfway through, Prince Leon went directly to the Northern Kingdom as an envoy, and they didn't have time to do anything that a newlywed couple should do. When he comes back this time, he will definitely...
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing!"
After hastily clearing the yellow waste from her mind, the young female official came to her senses and quickly made amends:
"I was just thinking that the people of the Northern Kingdom are really annoying. They were always thinking about making trouble at your wedding, causing Your Excellency to not have time to... um... causing Your Excellency to spend less time with you."
More time apart than together...
After hearing this description, Queen Veronica couldn't help but sigh in her heart, then shook her head and said:
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to arrange the establishment of the Korok Industrial Park... By the way, what do the envoys from the Northern Kingdom say? Do they still insist on their previous demands?"
"Yes."
Seeing Queen Veronica mention the envoys from the Northern Kingdom, the young female official couldn't help but show a hint of disgust in her eyes, and then she started to complain:
“They said that the chief envoy and the deputy envoy were not here, and the rest of the people did not have the power to change the conditions, so they could only stick to the plan made at the beginning and must share the technology of the Korok Kingdom.
They also said that the industrial park must be built in Lane County, which is closest to the Northern Kingdom, and that people must be sent to participate in its management. The proportion of management personnel must be more than 30%, and they completely refused to negotiate.
When I took your opinion to discuss with them, the barbarians in the north said that as the defeated country six years ago, they reserved the right to pursue war reparations, which we owed them!"
Probably because she had been humiliated by the envoys from the Northern Kingdom, after complaining a lot, the young female official said indignantly:
"Your Majesty! How can there be such tyrannical people in the world! How can there be such a bastard kingdom! They are really... A bastard country like theirs should just perish as soon as possible!"
"Lina, I've been too busy these days to take care of that. Thank you for negotiating with them."
Seeing the young lady-in-waiting whose face was red with anger, Queen Veronica could not help but comfort her gently, and then she said:
"But no matter how much they hate us, we have to continue the negotiations. After all, the military strength of the Northern Kingdom is indeed stronger than ours now, and they can't really lose their country suddenly, so we have to stabilize them and buy time for development... Lina, you may have to work hard a few more times in the future."
"I...you are too kind..."
Faced with Queen Veronica's comfort, the agitated young lady quickly calmed down, and then said a little embarrassedly:
"I actually know what you are talking about, but when I thought of those people's faces, I couldn't control myself for a moment. You don't know how irritating their attitudes are. Sigh... I wish the Northern Kingdom was really gone."
"How can it be……"
Queen Veronica couldn't help but laugh when she heard this:
"What are you thinking about in your little head all day long? How long has the Northern Kingdom existed? How could it suddenly disappear?"
"But isn't the Kingdom of Korok gone?"
The little female official who was born in a branch of the royal family and was related to Princess Veronica and who spoke more casually in private, could not help but speak expectantly upon hearing this:
"It would be great if there was a huge tsunami in the North, just like the time when Prince Leon went to the Kingdom of Korok, and swept away all those bastards."
"You, you, you."
Faced with her distant cousin's wish that was eight parts innocent and two parts evil, Queen Veronica couldn't help but shake her head, then she reached out and poked her forehead and said, "Go away, don't help me read the documents. Go and call Miss Feynman over. I have something for her to do."
"Ok!"
Upon hearing the order, the young lady-in-waiting turned around quickly, pushed the door open and prepared to leave Queen Veronica's office. However, just as she opened the door, she bumped into a hurried attendant and fell on the thick carpet.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry! I left a little too hastily... Majesty Veronica!"
Without even bothering to help the fallen young lady, the attendant hurried into the room and reported hastily:
"Something happened in the Northern Kingdom. I just received news that a massive natural disaster has occurred there, affecting the entire kingdom!"
"?!!!"
After hearing the report from the attendant, Princess Veronica couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, while the young lady-in-waiting on the carpet covered her mouth with her hands and said in shock:
"It's not a tsunami, is it?! I...I was just saying that in anger!"
"Tsunami? Not a tsunami."
After glancing at her in confusion, the attendant who came over to report the news continued:
“What the Northern Kingdom encountered was a very special geological disaster!
According to the official statement of the Kingdom of the North, the ice in the North was caused by the movement of the earth's crust, which caused the tectonic plates to tear apart at the continental level. A large number of mountains collapsed due to the pulling of the earth's crust, and it is estimated that more than 60 mountains will collapse! "
"More than sixty mountains collapsed? God! How many people will die!"
"Um...there are no statistics yet, but the casualties should be very few."
"what?"
As the young lady official looked bewildered, the attendant said with a strange look on his face:
"According to the North, it was Prince Lyon who was invited by Princess Melisande to visit the Kingdom. He discovered the disaster a week in advance and issued an early warning to the entire Northern Kingdom, giving the citizens of the Kingdom enough time to evacuate."
"what??"
"In addition to successfully warning of the disaster, Prince Lyon also helped suppress the unrest in Rehe City during the disaster of the partial collapse of the Hexagonal Snow Mountain, successfully rescued Princess Melisande and King Harvey, and accidentally found their biological mother who had disappeared ten years ago."
"what???"
“In order to thank His Excellency the Prince for his help, the Northern Kingdom is willing to provide us with the rare minerals we lack at cost price, and has taken the initiative to sign several orders lasting twenty years.
They are willing to use meat, honey fat, coal... and other resources, at a price 11% lower than the market price, in exchange for large quantities of food and industrial products, and provide us with trade subsidies and exemption from tariffs for five years... Why don't you take a look at it yourself?"
Looking at the queen sitting behind the desk without saying a word, staring at the document in his hand, wishing she could pounce on him and snatch it away immediately, the attendant tactfully handed the document to him.
After taking the document with a trembling arm, looking at the treaties on it, which were not so much humiliating as losing sovereignty, but rather giving away the country completely, Princess Veronica's heart suddenly began to beat uncontrollably against her chest, and a blush of happiness filled her pretty face.
My dearest Leon, you promised to bring me some local specialties when you were on a business trip, but what you brought back was this? Do you want to go on two more missions?
