Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 934 Goblin Consortium
Yan Xu never expected that the two sides, who were originally irreconcilable enemies, would actually succeed in negotiating a peace agreement!
It's worth noting that goblins have wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo, causing countless deaths, and have also created a massive number of pregnant women. While this has solved the island nation's low birth rate problem, it has also brought a green oasis.

Seriously?! You can tolerate this?!
In fact, Yan Xu overlooked a crucial issue: if it were only goblins, this conflict would not end easily.

Although goblins are cunning by nature, they lack self-control and a sense of the big picture. Driven by their chaotic nature, their behavior is like that of a Japanese general: burning, killing, looting, slaughtering males, and plundering females. They then expand by relying on their astonishing reproductive capacity. This is the way goblins survive.

Therefore, such beings would never sit down at the negotiating table with the island nation's officials.

But when the gnomes appeared, everything changed. Their separate bodies were given intelligent brains, and they became a unified whole.

It is true that goblins are greedy and wicked, but no one can deny the shrewd calculations hidden in their little heads.

After appearing on Earth, the goblins quickly calmed down and accepted reality.

Besides integrating those brainless distant relatives they were unwilling to acknowledge, the goblins also used their extraordinary professions and goblin technology to gather intelligence, analyze the current situation, assess dangers, and determine the direction for future development.

The sheer size of this world's population caught the eye of the goblins, whose commercial spirit never faded.

While a large population is a threat in itself, it also means a larger market, more business opportunities, and massive wealth.

For a greedy goblin, the latter is far more important and more tempting than the former.

However, Earth's relatively advanced technology and productivity have made the goblins quite dissatisfied, because it means that many of their products lack competition and sales channels.

What they fear even more is Earth's powerful military might, especially the existence of the mushroom-shaped egg; to this day, they have not found a way to resist this weapon.

The goblins knew very well that without sufficient military strength, so-called wealth was nothing but a bubble.

Just as the goblins were pondering a solution, an opportunity presented itself to them.

After the Self-Defense Forces arrived in Tokyo, the pro-war faction began to make a big fuss, trying to bring about a period of martial law.

The pro-war faction argued that the number of goblins in Tokyo was too large and they were hidden in every corner of the city, making the cleanup work extremely difficult and lengthy. Therefore, they advocated for military control and the formation of a large number of grassroots militia.

Does this sound familiar? If this were to happen, everyone, whether they were tycoons or powerful figures, would have to bow down under the gun. This would naturally offend many people and forces, and the peace-loving faction, which was originally weak, would swell up again.

The problem is that killing goblins is what the people want. Heaven knows how many Tokyoites have died at the hands of goblins, and how many women have become pregnant with their offspring. So the slogan of revenge is getting louder and louder, giving the pro-war faction more and more influence.

At this point, raising the banner of peace talks would undoubtedly be asking for trouble, so they looked for an opportunity to secretly send people to contact the goblins, and the team responsible for protecting them was the rather conflicted Five Colors Team.

Unexpectedly, the two sides hit it off immediately upon meeting and quickly reached a preliminary agreement.

The peace-loving faction, confident in their position, immediately launched a propaganda campaign, first labeling the pro-war faction as disregarding the overall situation, and then beginning to brainwash the public.

They declared that continuing the war would only increase casualties and was pointless!

Because the island nation can't gain anything from goblins, killing them is a waste of bullets.

Instead of wasting a lot of money and time, it would be better to let the goblins leave voluntarily so that Tokyo can return to normal as soon as possible.

Of course, this is far from enough. Therefore, the real guidance is on the Internet, where some dark ideas are spreading rapidly and influencing countless people. For example, they are made to think that although many people have died, most of them are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. This is undoubtedly a relief to society and an increase in their job and promotion opportunities. As long as Tokyo returns to normal, the large number of vacant positions will be theirs.

Moreover, Tokyo, which has suffered severe damage, needs more people for repair and reconstruction, which undoubtedly means more jobs.

The thought of promotion and salary increase, the thought of finding a stable job, makes countless young people restless, and even middle-aged people have to consider the gains and losses involved.

The anti-elderly sentiment in island nations has been growing stronger, and since they don't need to take action, they feel no burden and only think about the benefits. As a result, the wind is increasingly tilting towards the peace talks faction.

No matter how angry the pro-war faction was, cursing the traitors and parasites, they couldn't change the fact that their efforts had failed. Even if they were unwilling, they could only endure it for the time being. What the pro-war faction didn't expect was that the peace-negotiation faction acted so quickly, and the bargaining chips offered by the goblins were far more tempting than they had anticipated.

The pro-war faction originally wanted to take this opportunity to mobilize more troops, launch an underdog campaign, and annihilate the goblins, thus igniting a war of life and death between the two sides and making the war burn even more fiercely. However, due to the rapid progress of the peace talks, they missed the opportunity, and under pressure from the higher-ups, they had no choice but to endure it.

Soon, the two sides officially signed a contract, and the goblins paid a price to lease a piece of land from the island nation.

But few people know that what truly facilitated this peace talks were two things the goblins displayed: otherworldly extraordinary professions and alchemy.

Extraordinary professions from another world can directly enhance the island nation's extraordinary foundation, ensuring it no longer lags behind in the extraordinary field and no longer relies on ASEAN.

Alchemy, on the other hand, involves an irresistible temptation: immortality.

For those old fogies who cling to power, they would not let go of any chance to prolong their lives, even if it meant betraying national interests.

In addition, the pro-war faction also had their own selfish motives; they longed to obtain stronger supernatural power and gain more say in the world.

Driven by profit, the island nation finally agreed to lease a prime bay to the goblins for a period of ninety-nine years.

The goblins proudly named this bay Wealth Bay, as if they could already see a continuous stream of wealth flowing in.

The first collaboration involved millions of goblins, whose cheap labor filled the island nation's labor shortage and provided them with the capacity to expand extensively beyond urban areas.

At the same time, the island nation also purchased a large amount of amazing goblin technology from the goblins to build a new army, and then...
Although island nations do not reject self-destruction, the problem is that even the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps and the Happy Taigun, which were formed during the most insane period decades ago, only detonated when they encountered enemies. While goblin technology is amazing, the detonation is also truly random, and soon no one dared to use it.

However, every cloud has a silver lining, and the island nation has indeed found a new source of cheap soldiers: the newly emerging Green Tide.

Unlike the weak-willed men of the island nation, goblins are quick to attack anyone they see, and their accuracy is incredibly high, adding hundreds of thousands of people to the island nation's population in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, although the bloodline has been improved, the low intelligence and ugly appearance still cause those mothers to feel devastated.

However, the island nations didn't mind, because they found it to be genuinely useful.

Although it's a bit green and a bit sleazy, tell me, isn't it cheap or not?

Moreover, being gestated for a month and growing for three months, they are practically born cannon fodder.

If they had had this decades ago, they would have dared to declare war on the whole world.

Driven by such fervent ideas, the island nation did something that left Yan Xu speechless.

The island nation has actually set up a special department dedicated to luring women to sacrifice themselves for the nation's prosperity, and there are even some with unique tastes who have joined in.

But everyone underestimated the goblins' ambitions; their cooperation with the island nation was just the beginning.

After figuring out Earth's business operations and financial system, the goblins decisively formed a consortium to join it, but focused on the West, especially the Alliance, since that was a capitalist's paradise.

Well, if the people of Hope can hold on, in addition to the vampires and squid groups on Wall Street, a goblin conglomerate has joined them. He wouldn't be surprised if this godforsaken place started charging for breathing based on the number of oxygen molecules.

The most frightening thing is that the Goblin Consortium's main product these days is actually the hardworking goblin.

Nigo?!
Although goblins are intellectually inferior, they are hardworking and can eat things that even pigs won't eat. They also reproduce quickly, making them very suitable for dangerous industries and greatly reducing costs. Most importantly, there are no human rights or wage issues to consider, and they can be used to replace increasingly unruly modern agricultural tools. Therefore, they are very popular with capital.

So a large number of goblins packed into shipping containers traveled across the ocean to the Alliance, adding new colors to this palette.
