Chapter 502 Chapter 502 Good News
In Yongdong Port, there are free ships everywhere in the busy port. Some of these ships are docked at the pier, and some are dispatching and turning in the port.

The crane unloaded and loaded the materials, and the dock workers in the port were extremely busy.It seems that it has not been affected by the war at all, and it is even more prosperous than in peacetime in the past.

The port terminal that has been modernized by the Datang Group has an astonishing throughput.Almost half of the supplies exported by the dwarves came from Everwinter Harbor.

Although the weather conditions here are not very good, half of the year is very cold, but this is a ice-free port, and that's all right.

The total number of dwarves living in Everwinter City is about 50, and one-third of them are engaged in transportation and dock loading and unloading.

These people have to transport a large amount of raw materials and important materials produced from the hinterland of the Frost Empire to the Wharf of Yongdong Port, and then ship them out, all year round.

Another third of the population worked in the factories of Eternal Winter City. There were metal smelting factories and machinery processing factories here. Many raw materials had to be roughly processed here to save transportation costs.

And this port also provides a large amount of imported materials for the entire Frost Empire, and the most imported materials are food.

Because of the climate, the food problem of the Frozen Empire was a serious problem before it owned the land further south.

Such a huge empire relies heavily on imports for food. It can be said that the emperor of the Binghan Empire, Binghan I, has always been unhappy.

He hopes that his country can achieve food self-sufficiency and reduce its dependence on food imports. This is also a leader's normal strategic thinking.

And Binghan I's way to solve the problem is to attack south, lay down more southern land, and obtain high-quality fields that can be cultivated, so as to solve the problem once and for all.

In fact, from the day when the Datang Group began to support the Ice Cold Empire, the food production of the Ice Cold Empire has been increasing.

With modern farming methods and the chemical fertilizers provided by modern industry, some land can actually be reclaimed for farming in the southern part of the Frozen Empire.

But these lands are all concentrated near the border, which still makes Binghan I feel insecure.That's why the Frost Empire is so eager to kick off the war, because from their point of view, ensuring their own food supply is a matter bigger than the sky.

You know, just last year, the Datang Group purchased food frantically, which almost triggered a food crisis.

The daily skyrocketing price of food made everyone in the Frost Empire feel the pressure, so they finally made up their minds to solve their food supply problem at all costs.

There is no need to worry about these problems in Yongdong Port. The residents here have been eating imported rice and white noodles. Their food comes from the sea, and it is all shipped by Datang Group.

On the streets of the already modern city of Eternal Winter, the thin snow has affected the traffic, the cars are jammed together densely, and the sound of horns keeps coming and going.

In the simple but modern city hall, the special envoy of the Tang Kingdom stood in front of the window, overlooking the cars honking their horns on the street, seeming very interested.

"We must ensure our own food security. This is the bottom line of the empire. I hope Mr. Special Envoy can understand." Sitting on the sofa behind him, the foreign minister of the Frozen Empire emphasized again.

When I heard that the purpose of the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty was to persuade the Ice Cold Empire to stop expanding southward, the Ice Cold Empire sent its own foreign minister to negotiate with the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

"I understand Ice Cold Empire's worries about the food problem very well. You have won a large area of ​​land and actually improved your own food supply." The special envoy of Datang standing in front of the window said without looking back: "You guys The grain-producing areas in China are now more than [-] kilometers away from the border, isn't that enough?"

"There are still three kingdoms fighting against us, and we are still under great pressure, Mr. Special Envoy, please understand..." The foreign minister of the Frozen Empire looked very embarrassed, as if they were the ones being beaten.

"The war you provoked has caused anxiety in the surrounding countries, and the diplomatic environment of the Frozen Empire has deteriorated to a very dangerous level. Don't you really mind it?" The special envoy of Datang finally turned around and looked at other side.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Frozen Empire was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and said: "It has reached this point, is there any possibility for us to recover?"

"As long as you promise not to continue to threaten the neighboring countries in the south, we can come forward and we can sit down and negotiate together to sign a treaty of peaceful coexistence, which will guarantee the vested interests of the Frozen Empire and protect the security of neighboring countries..." the special envoy of Datang gave made a choice.

"Can we trust the justice of the Tang Kingdom?" The dwarf foreign minister looked at the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty and asked tentatively.

"The Great Tang Kingdom will recognize the existing borders of the Ice Cold Empire." The special envoy of the Great Tang threw out an olive branch, or in other words, showed the carrot in his hand.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Frozen Empire thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "We believe in old friends, I will discuss this matter with His Majesty, and give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

"I'll wait for you here, I hope it won't be too long." The special envoy of Datang smiled and made a gesture of letting go: "In terms of public opinion, we will start to build momentum and lay the groundwork. The world sees the dawn of peace."

"I understand your thoughts very well. Peace...is very important." The foreign minister of the Frozen Empire, who deeply knew the importance of peace after taking advantage of the war, stood up, gave a deep salute, and turned to leave.

He has already got what he wants. As long as countries around the world recognize the results of this round of expansion of the Frost Empire, then the benefits of the Frost Empire in this war can be secured.

With these new territories, the Ice Empire is the biggest winner in this melee, and will also become a powerful and balanced country that is no longer lame.

Food is no longer an issue, at least not in the short term.Coupled with the achievements of industrialization already owned, the national strength of the Frozen Empire can be said to have been unprecedentedly improved.

As long as the three weak kingdoms that are still at war are settled, the Frost Empire has almost realized the great revival of the dwarf race.

On the streets of Bunas, the old newspaper seller sat quietly in the newsstand, listlessly enjoying the bright sunshine.There was already a chill in the air, but the city of Bunas was still full of vitality.

"Boss, here is a newspaper." A man dressed like a small businessman handed out a few copper coins, grabbed the newspaper with a huge headline printed on it, and couldn't wait to read it.

If you want to make a fortune in Burnas, you must be able to understand the news written in the newspaper and know what the news behind it represents.

The man opened the newspaper and saw the news on it: The Tang Kingdom has contacted several countries, calling on all parties to exercise restraint, restore peace, and revitalize the economy.

Today, when the war has been going on for more than half a year, such news can almost be regarded as a weather vane.

The Tang Kingdom, which has been standing still and strictly maintaining neutrality, made a statement in the end. The countries that have been weakened must consider the option of peace no matter what.

Peace, for business people, means a better investment climate and a revived economy.

As long as the countries cease fighting and resume trade, then what does the world need when the war has just ended and everything is in ruins?Of course, supplies are needed to rebuild!Whatever you have, from reinforced concrete to pots and pans, everything will become a hot commodity!
Immediately he looked up, closed the newspaper, and hurried to the stock exchange across the street with its huge plaque.

Recently, a brand new investment project has appeared here, a new game called futures.As long as you have money, you can buy any kind of commodity here, including energy materials ores and so on.

Then, you don't need to see the physical objects of these things, just take a receipt, and you can get huge profits after the price of the invested goods rises.

The exchange was crowded with people, people frantically waving the bills in their hands, staring at the transaction prices of goods that were constantly being erased and written on the blackboard.

Many people already know the good news that the war is likely to end, so food prices started to level off and stopped rising.On the contrary, cement, which has already risen to the sky, continues to soar.

No way, during the war, cement was a strategic material, and all countries demanded it hugely.This thing can be used to repair trenches and bunkers, so the price has been rising all the way.

Now, I heard that the war may be over, and peaceful construction also requires a lot of cement and steel bars, so the price of cement ushered in a new round of highs.

After all, I was one step too late!Seeing that the businessmen who had already begun to go crazy were frantically buying bonds of various materials, the small businessman holding a newspaper squeezed forward somewhat disappointed.

While squeezing, he kept apologizing: "Excuse me, I'm sorry, let me go, I'm going to buy some futures, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

His actions caused dissatisfaction among the people around him, but everyone was very busy and no one had time to complain, so they all cursed and let it go.

On the street outside the exchange, on the huge billboard, a seductive beauty is posing, next to her is the latest lipstick launched this year.

The whole world is at war, and Bunas is still a paradise... Maybe you didn't believe it before, but now everyone believes it.

Because here, there are more people talking about the Egret team's seven-to-one victory last night, and the bloodbath of the Datang men's football team, than those who care about the situation on the front line of Gobul.
