industrial lord

Chapter 154 Cooperative Organization
When Frederick pointed to the stone tables and chairs and asked the two big men to sit there, Taroman immediately took the maids to wipe the tables and chairs first. The tables were covered with beautiful tablecloths, and the chairs were placed with soft and comfortable cushions.

By the time the three of them sat down, the tea and snacks had already been set.

The maids came over with kettles, towels and basins, and the three of them washed their hands and wiped their faces before they started talking.

Frederick put an empty plate in the middle of the table, first put three round biscuits together in the middle, and then put several kinds of candied fruit on the side.

He asked all the servants to leave, and then said: "The three of us disobeyed the royal family, and I even broke my face with the royal family. Now it is only a superficial healing."

"For us, the biggest threat comes from outside."

"To the east and south of the Principality of Baine is the Osmarga Empire, to the west of the Principality of Mainz is the Kingdom of Gaul, to the south is the Federation of Helvetia, to our north is the Principality of Franken and to the east is Regens The Alliance is controlled by the Osmarga Empire, and they are our respective worst enemies."

"For many years, the two have been seeking the unification of the southern region to integrate forces and unify the outside world, but they failed because of the principle of who should lead."

He was directly stating that the two grand dukes were sophisticated political creatures, and he just smiled at this.

Grand Duke Byrne put down his teacup and asked with a smile, "Why, do you want to be our lord?"

Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were a little cold, and he couldn't back down on matters of principle.

The Grand Duke of Mainz said to him: "You don't have to be so nervous, this little guy has a lot of tricks, maybe he can solve the problem that we two old guys have been arguing for more than ten years."

"Yes, yes." Grand Duke Bai En made a very angry look, "Who doesn't know that this little guy will marry your goddaughter in the future, and then we can bully me together."

The Grand Duke of Mainz took advantage of the situation and said: "I will hold a hunt in autumn. I invite you and your grandson to participate. My granddaughters will be very happy."

Frederick had seen what an old-fashioned politician is. In a few words, Grand Duke Bain proposed to strengthen ties with the Grand Duke of Mainz. The Grand Duke of Mainz immediately agreed. The relationship between the three families is like this Strengthened in the traditional way.

Suddenly, a question popped up in this guy's mind, what would happen if the Grand Duke of Byrne asked the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of Mainz to continue his strings.

I dare not ask this question, because if I ask, I will definitely be beaten to death.

Grand Duke Byrne didn't mention the marriage anymore, but said excitedly: "Hey, I'm going to compete with you to see who has more prey!"

He agreed without declining.

Frederick kept a smile on his face and said seriously: "I have a suggestion. The three of us form a cooperative organization. The members of this cooperative organization are all equal. The purpose of the organization is to strengthen the mutual trust and good-neighborliness among the three parties. friendship; encourage cooperation among all parties in the fields of politics, military, commerce, education, transportation, etc.; work together to maintain and guarantee regional peace, security and stability."

"Politically, a formal tripartite meeting mechanism is formed on the platform of cooperation organizations. In addition to the permanent institutions of various departments, summit meetings are held regularly, which are held in rotation among various parties. The next step is to resolve all issues between them through mutual consultation."

"In terms of military affairs, the three parties will strengthen military trust in the border areas, and conduct negotiations on mutual reduction of military forces in the border areas under the framework of cooperative organizations."

"In terms of business, the three parties can conduct bilateral negotiations under the framework of cooperative organizations to reduce and exempt each other's tariffs and strengthen trade exchanges."

"Wessenburg University and other schools can be opened to the territories of the two, and tuition fees can be reduced accordingly."

"That's pretty much all I can think of."

After talking a lot, he picked up his teacup and took a big sip.

The two grand dukes looked at me and I looked at you, and then laughed together.

Grand Duke Byrne couldn't help sighing: "It's old, it's old, the young people nowadays really dare to think."

"I'm afraid only young people like you, who have never tasted the delicacy of power, will come up with a way to not talk about power, but only talk about interests."

Then he looked at the Grand Duke of Mainz and asked, "What do you think?"

The Grand Duke of Mainz smiled and replied: "Try it, you will know it after you try it."

"Our three families don't have any deep hatred. There is no need to fight to death. We can sit down and talk about anything."

"We can reduce some people on the border between you and me. We used to prevent the armies of those five families from strengthening to the border, which is good for everyone."

Grand Duke Bai En also nodded and said: "I think it's okay, how about this? The troops on the border of our three families communicate regularly, and it should be regarded as mutual confirmation."

"How about playing football every now and then?"

Frederick was stunned at the end, but it was not bad to think about it later.

The Grand Duke of Mainz smiled helplessly and said, "Now it's your turn to bully me."

He then said to Frederick: "After you made that football, Mingxing City was the first to learn it. I am very optimistic about playing a game between you."

Frederick laughed along with him. He was used to making small episodes during negotiations to ease the atmosphere, and then began to bring the topic to business cooperation.

At present, there is a serious defect in Wessen State. Mineral resources are very scarce, and almost all mineral raw materials need to be imported.

The Principality of Mainz and the Principality of Byrne have mines, and the Principality of Byrne has many mountains, so it always has abundant wind magic crystal resources, which are needed for weapons such as pea guns.

The Principality of Baine also has a little fire magic crystal used to boil water, but Frederick locked up a prisoner in the castle, eating and drinking, and taking care of her. There are a lot of fire magic crystal mines in her house.

Now Frederick intends to deepen business cooperation with them, import raw materials and energy, and export industrial products.

The two grand dukes quickly agreed, agreeing to deepen commercial cooperation and exempt each other from tariffs on raw materials and industrial products in principle.

Now everyone knows that the industrial products in Wessen State are very popular. If you can buy them cheaply, you can make a lot of money whether you use them yourself or export them to neighboring countries.

Although they are hostile to neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Gaul and the Osmaga Empire, this does not prevent the two sides from making money before fighting.

At the end, the Grand Duke of Mainz suddenly said to the Grand Duke Byrne: "Since Wesson has given us so many opportunities to make money, let's not embarrass him on the Nuremberg issue."

"You're the only guy who can be a good person." Archduke Byrne scolded with a smile, "It's like I'm a bad guy, just trying to embarrass Wesson."

"Okay, I'll make those people support Wesson."

A bright smile appeared on Frederick's face. Now the Free City of Nuremberg is divided among all parties. The royal family, the agents of the Principality of Mainz, the Principality of Bayern, and the local factions are fighting for power and profit. It is a mess.

He originally wanted to collect protection money, but he didn't expect the king to stuff this hot potato into his hands in an attempt to stir up conflicts between him and his two neighbors.

Now that the boss is nodding, those minions who charge into the battle know what to do.

The three of them have set the general direction, and the specific details will be discussed with each other by the people below until a critical point acceptable to all three parties is reached.

During this period, apart from arranging for the army to raid the house in Nuremberg, Frederick finally had time to play with Maria.

This guy also hid the unicorn he was going to give to Maria in the barracks, and gave her a secret order to surprise her in autumn.

At the end of May, the three parties reached an agreement on the detailed provisions, and the "Convention on Cooperation between the Principality of Bavaria, the Principality of Mainz and the State of Wessen" was officially signed and entered into force.

Because these three places are the upper reaches of the Rhine and the Danube, the world simply calls them the "Upper Region Cooperation Organization".

After the external threat was lifted, Frederick was finally able to deal with internal affairs.
