People in Terra, governing a weird little country

He is a humane person. As long as Vina is not afraid, he will not consider the damn international image at this time.

The competition was organized by Casimir, and the contestant selected by Kjerag was named Vina Victoria. She has nothing to do with you Victoria. Why are you reacting?

But Vina still shook her head firmly.

Rather than playing in the arena, she wanted to sit in the audience with Ernst, eating popcorn, drinking Coke, and watching the game.

Both Hinterea and Vina were unwilling, and Ernst glanced at the others.

"Lola?"

"Master Ernst, you know me well! I don't like fighting, I like playing ash!"

"What about...Joyce?"

"I didn't find any relevant information, Mr. Ernst. I don't think I know any sports."

The silver-haired Liberian girl blinked.

“But I’m looking forward to seeing other people shine.”

The young girl sweated hard on the field, and the moment she won the honor, she looked at her lover in the audience. When she saw his smile, her smile also blossomed.

Mm, very good, the sugar content is up! up!

Ernst took a deep breath, glanced at Holhaiya, and skipped over her.

Fatty, looking at her figure, you can tell she’s not someone who likes sports.

Just kidding. Given Holhaiya's personality, if Ernst really sent her to compete, he would have to worry not about Holhaiya but about the opponent.

It seems that with Holhaiya's trouble-making personality, he would do something like secretly adding laxatives to his opponent's teacup in order to win.

He looked at Jeston.

"Jaston, are you interested?"

Yes, Jeston was back too. He had come to the meeting after he had successfully made Actor, who was known for his ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, drink the tenth cup and fall into a deep sleep.

In response to Ernst's question, he simply lowered his head humbly:

"Of course I am willing, but, respected Boss, don't you think there is a better choice than me?"

Ernst blinked in surprise: "Who do you mean?"

"Of course it's the famous Black Knight, Lady Mace."

Jeston replied as a matter of course.

"As the triple champion of the Casimir Knight Competition, is there anyone more suitable than her to be the candidate for this competition?"

"Dear Boss, if we can convince Ms. Jian to come back, this will be a very popular competition. With Ms. Jian's strength, maybe she can not only win the championship of this Knight Competition, but also sweep other sports and get the first Grand Slam in the history of the International Games!"

"In this way, we can not only gain or even surpass the popularity of the organizers of Casimir, but also gain greater economic benefits. Why not do it?"

Ernst admired Jeston a little bit. This man was really artistic in his way of speaking.

The sports meet hasn't even been held yet, but he can boast that it's "the first in history", giving a sense of grandeur as if countless sessions have been held before and countless talents have sacrificed to achieve their goals.

However, Ernst pointed out that there was something wrong with what Jayston said. The Black Knight would definitely not get a grand slam.

"We have an Originium skills competition." Ernst reminded.

Jeston groaned and nodded: "That's fine. But Ms. Mace can also participate in other events, right?"

Ernst nodded: "She participated."

"You don't need to tell me, the mace has indeed returned."

"Her form has been handed over to me. According to her, she won her first title just for the sake of winning, her second title was to prove that the first title was not just luck, and her third title was to prove that no one could limit her. And the fourth title she is aiming for now is for her supporters."

Ernst spread his hands and sighed helplessly:

"Yes, she didn't fight on behalf of Kjerag. She fought on behalf of Kallan Trade."

If Jeston could think of the mace, how could Ernst not think of it?

It's just that she's from Enthiotis's side. In this sports event that allows both [countries] and [capital] to participate, she naturally became the trump card of the [Kalan Trade Team] instead of the [Shelag Team].

Ernst could do nothing about it. He couldn't possibly blame Jian, because it was not him who paid Jian's salary.

Therefore, Ernst can only comment on Jeston's question in this way:

"Then you will participate in this competition."

"I only have one request. You, go and defeat the mace. Don't let Enchiodis be happy too soon!"

Jeston opened his mouth wide, pointed at himself, and managed a tearful smile:

"I?"

Chapter 359: Grand Tutor: Let’s send the Grandmaster out to fight!

Kjerag, Tukarim, Kjerag Grand Hotel.

Ning Ci Qiu looked at the tutor who was packing up and preparing to leave Kjerag. After hesitating for a moment, he walked forward and asked softly:

"Master, have you heard?"

The Taifu paused for a moment, but did not stop there. Instead, he continued to clean up without changing his expression, and asked:

"Ci Qiu, what do you mean?"

Ning Ciqiu said:

"Of course it's the rumor that just leaked out in the past few days. The Casimir people are going to expand the scale of the entire knight competition and hold an international sports meeting with Kjerag. It is said that the grand occasion will be unprecedented. Master, will Dayan not participate?"

The Master showed a look of realization on his face, then replied with a smile:

"Regarding the sports meet, Grand Knight Commander Casimir also came to see me alone and invited me."

"In theory, as a part of Terra, we should not miss such a grand event. However, this World Games is not like the World Expo or the World Summit. It is just an entertainment event. The imperial court may not agree to send a delegation to attend."

Ning Ci Qiu nodded. This was also what she was worried about.

If the Expo can be called a cultural exchange of Terra, and the Summit can be regarded as a symbol of the reorganization of Terra's world pattern and political structure, then the International Games will not be so important.

The Yan imperial court's attitude towards the outside world was generally conservative. Their agreement to the Grand Tutor's participation in the meeting was already a rare accident caused by the game between the various parties. And it would be difficult for such an accident to happen again.

However, Ning Ci Qiu has also grown up. Knowing where the problem lies is only the first step to solving it. She also tried to analyze the problem and find more solutions.

For example, this time, when she came, she really imagined the possible resistance within the court, and at the same time thought of a solution:

"Master, I actually think that the court may not be unwilling to send someone there."

The Master then stopped what he was doing and turned his head slightly:

"Oh, how come you see it?"

Ning Ciqiu asked: "Taifu, what do you think Da Yan lacks the most right now?"

“It’s influence!”

"Our Great Yan is a wealthy country, with military strength comparable to Victoria, and political stability far superior to that of the Ursus Empire. But our voice on Terra is only comparable to that of Casimir, Leitania and other countries. A scholar in Victoria even said: When considering any international social issues on Terra, Yan should not be included as one of the subjects of discussion."

"This was not a bad thing for Da Yan in the past. It helped us avoid troubles such as choosing sides in the Four Emperors' Battle and the alliance during the Great Conquest, and decisions that may affect the country's destiny. But for Da Yan now, it has become a bad thing. Because Da Yan now needs this influence to compete for that position!"

Why don't the other countries talk about Da Yan? Of course it's not because Da Yan is a "slide that can't be touched", everyone just habitually ignores this closed-door country, knowing that their attitude has always been no attitude, and their actions have always been no action. But now, the times have changed, and Da Yan also needs to change. This is the key to the problem that Ning Ci Qiu has grasped.

Taifu thought that Da Yan needed to fight for the five high-backed chairs at the World Summit. Then Da Yan's attitude would inevitably change, and change would inevitably generate resistance. As the leader of the WTO Party, Taifu had to make achievements.

The International Games is a good choice.

This proposal will enhance our international influence without going to war and accomplish the greatest things at the lowest cost, without wasting money and manpower and without affecting peace and stability. At the very least, the moral obstacles faced by this proposal will be much smaller.

Ning Ci Qiu's idea was very simple. As long as the Taifu reviewed and approved the memorial submitted by Zhenlong on "The Whole Story of the World Expo", then Dayan would inevitably adjust its policies and start seeking changes in order to enhance its influence to the level it deserved.

In this process of seeking change, instead of having geopolitical conflicts and disputes with existing countries and "making a name for oneself" at the cost of simple and crude wars, it is better to participate in the International Games in the [International System].

Admittedly, it may not necessarily bring much profit, but it also does not have unbearable costs and trial and error costs, which is its advantage!

The Master nodded, a look of satisfaction in his eyes and a softening of his facial features.

He was generous with his praise:

"Ci Qiu, you're right. This analysis is a big improvement compared to the previous one."

Ning Ci Qiu bowed somewhat embarrassedly: "It's all thanks to the guidance of the master."

"My teachings? Hahaha. In that case, I will ask you another question, Ci Qiu. Let's see what kind of answer you can give me."

The Master laughed.

Ning Ci Qiu clenched his fist and nodded confidently: "Please ask."

Taifu: "Ci Qiu, what can influence be called?"

Ning Ci Qiu frowned slightly and thought for a while.

Influence, as the name suggests, is the ability to exert influence in a certain area. If you have influence in a certain field, then what you say will naturally be heard by more people and recognized by more people.

If we use Yan Guo dialect to explain influence, it should be——

"face!"

The Master nodded: "Yes, face."

"Then let me ask you, if you have convinced His Majesty the True Dragon that our Great Yan is indeed going to participate in this International Games, and His Majesty the True Dragon asks you for advice on finding a [Great General] who can take on this important task and lead the team to the battle, who would you recommend?"

This question really stumped Ning Ci Qiu.

The world is a chess game, and one must make three calculations before making a single move. Ning Ci Qiu is far from that level. In her calculations, His Majesty the True Dragon agreed to send a team to Casimir to participate in the Games, and that was the end of it. Why do I need to personally recommend a team leader?

But in the eyes of the Grand Tutor, she was too naive to think so.

Participating in the International Games is not a big deal, because the cost is low and the resistance in the court is relatively small. But this does not mean that no one will make a fuss about it.

When a country is abroad, it focuses on its own interests. Ning Ci Qiu can think of the good of the International Games, so naturally he must also think of her bad.

This influence, or this face, is fine if you gain it, but what if you lose it?

It is said that victory and defeat are common in the military, but which defeated general will not be punished?

Therefore, this selection is of course the top priority!

As the initiator of this proposal, this is something Ning Ci Qiu must consider.

But Ning Ci Qiu was indeed in trouble.

As a lady from a prominent family, it was her daily routine to talk and laugh with great scholars and associate with ordinary people. She really didn't know anyone who had made great achievements in this field.

The generals in the court would certainly not accept this responsibility. It would be embarrassing for them to go to the sports meeting and fight with a group of common people without official titles. And if they were to choose from the strange people in the market, there was no guarantee that they would win.

And once she loses face for the country on the field, even just a little bit, then her own face will not be enough to pay it back.

Perhaps because of her father's status, she will not be criticized too much, but her future career and her father will probably be affected.

This was a very difficult situation for her.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, the Grand Tutor did not make things too difficult for her.

This is the difference in life experience. The master who has seen countless people can quickly come up with many options in his mind, but Ning Ci Qiu can't. However, this is not a big problem. As long as Ning Ci Qiu is aware of the risks, the master's goal will be achieved.

As for the candidates, the Grand Tutor had actually made preparations long ago.

"Ci Qiu, what do you think is the most important event in the International Games?"

Ning Ci Qiu woke up from his daze, thought for a moment and replied:

"Of course it's the knight competition. After all, it is Casimir's national trademark and the most popular event. Naturally, it is also the top priority of the entire sports meeting."

The Master nodded:

"Then what kind of competition do you think the knight competition is similar to in Da Yan?"

Which domestic competition is it similar to?

Ning Ci Qiu rubbed the tip of his nose, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He said:

"Master, are you talking about a martial arts tournament?!"
