Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 669

After discussing whether Lawrence is suitable for purchasing in this shop as a stakeholder, they began to talk about whether Lawrence, as a thorough outsider, is suitable for intervening in local affairs.

“As for you neither from the island nor from Briton, it is better to solve it. As an ancient country, the nobles of the Holy Visby Empire actually have a lot of foreign marriages, and the Earl of Sauer is no exception. .”

After hearing Lawrence ask this question, Viscount Surrey first thought about it, and then explained it to Lawrence.

“Several nobles present now have actually been married to your family in history, so in this economic alliance, you can join this alliance as a help relative and become the core representative of the alliance. ”

“So it can be like this.” Lawrence and Syfiel looked at each other and showed surprised expressions. As a standard half-way nobleman, the two of them are not familiar with this type of operation.

“Of course, this can be said to be a traditional rule among the nobles.” Viscount Surrey, who knew the specific situation of Lawrence Josefel, said with an expression that should have been.

“For the nobles, nationality will not be an obstacle in most things between them, except for a few situations like war.”

Then Viscount Surrey began to tell Lawrence and the others about the doorway in this respect. At least in the western part of the Old World, there used to be independent or semi-independent aristocratic territories, and the so-called royal family was just the leader of these aristocrats.

Therefore, the autonomy within the nobility has naturally become the tradition of this land, and it is even considered an important right that the nobility should have by nature.

Although modern countries began to appear over time, the central governments of empires and kingdoms that were much stronger than before took away some of the power from these nobles.

For example, these countries basically limit the nationality of the nobles and prohibit them from jumping repeatedly in the war as in the past, but apart from these extreme situations, other rights of the nobles still exist.

For example, the private industries of the nobles will be regarded as legal private industries and protected in any country. Even if a war breaks out between two countries, it will not be forcibly confiscated as an enemy’s industry.

Even if these wealth were requisitioned during the war, after the war, those countries need to return these things to the original owners of the wealth, and at the same time pay for the wealth that was newly generated when these properties were requisitioned during the war.

Of course, the status of aristocrats is not completely invulnerable and invulnerable. For example, there are some exceptions to this type of exemption rules for aristocrats.

To give the simplest example, if someone takes refuge in the existence of those lower planes, believes in some evil gods that are expressly forbidden to believe in, or does something that is obviously anti-human, then no matter what their previous status is, their previous All wealth will be confiscated.

However, in addition to those extreme cases, the nobles still have greater freedom in all kinds of cooperation or similar things, at least more freedom than those ordinary businessmen have.

For example, if these nobles on Green Island want to establish an economic organization, they can recruit non-national people.

Although the central government of the Briton Kingdom may not be too happy in this situation, they will not create any obstacles in this regard.

So Lawrence is now naturally able to join this alliance through some remote in-laws between himself and several nobles on Green Island.

After realizing the benefits of this alliance, Lawrence immediately thought that this type of organization could be reproduced on Sauer Island.

So after the end of the host and guest dinner, Lawrence and Safir immediately returned to their room and used radio to communicate with the officials who were staying on the island of New Sauer. In the process of liaison, he also stated that he hopes to establish an economic cooperation organization with himself and Sauer Island as the core and capable of internal economic coordination as a whole.

For Lawrence’s plan, butler Bayer, the person in charge of Sauer Island, is very supportive. In his opinion, with the gradual development of the island territory, the Earl of Sauer, who has a long heritage, should also expand his gaze beyond the island.

Of course, in this era, it is not a good idea to seize territory through wars with civilized races, so it is the most common choice to expand one’s strength through means similar to building alliances.

As for the idea of ​​establishing an economic alliance proposed by Lawrence, it is naturally a very good idea, at least equivalent to a political or military alliance. Economic alliances are easier to combine and at the same time not so sensitive.

The even better news is that Lawrence’s previous series of actions have allowed Sauer Island to establish a relatively close economic relationship with the surrounding islands, so it is equivalent to laying a good foundation for the establishment of such an organization.

So Lawrence immediately entrusted the Bayer butler to help contact the lords of the surrounding islands that have economic ties with him, and then see who is willing to join the trade with the northern islands colony belonging to Briton.

. As for the specific matters of the establishment of the organization, there is no need to rush to discuss it, because Lawrence thinks it is more appropriate to talk about the alliance after waiting for the benefits of this trade to have a practical example as evidence.

After talking about the economic union, Lawrence began to inquire about Nora’s current situation.

Lawrence learned from the Butler by Bayer that since Nara was sent back by a group of clergy in a fast airship a while ago, she flew to the Blue Mountain alone and said she was going to retreat, and there has been a strange light in the direction of the Blue Mountain these days. Flashing.

But now, no one knows what Nora’s retreat is. No one even knows where Nora is.

But according to Butler Bayer, the priests who had sent Nora over and the priests on the island joined together and went to the meadow at the foot of the Blue Mountains. It felt like they were providing some kind of cover for Nora.

“Everything is fine in my hometown now, and our plan should be able to be implemented smoothly.” After finishing the contact, Lawrence got up from the chair in front of the radio station, and then briefly introduced Syfiel next to him.

“It’s just that the movement that Nora made after going back was a bit big~www.mtlnovel.com~ What’s even more depressing is that everyone doesn’t know how she is now.”

“You seem to have said before that she is now going to make an important breakthrough in the transcendental direction. Didn’t she make a breakthrough in our temporary residence?” Syfel said to Lawrence after thinking for a while.

“I remember that our house is surrounded by a lot of defensive facilities, so it should be better in terms of safety. I think it should be better to choose a safer place when it is more fragile.”

“Theoretically, this is the case, but the problem is that the transcendent level that Nora is going to break through is very high, and the defense around our house is basically meaningless to her.” Lawrence shrugged and looked helpless.

Since his family knows his own affairs, Lawrence knows that the magical defenses around his house are at most providing certain obstacles and alarms when the extraordinary people of the silver level or below come to attack.

If you rely solely on those traps and defense systems, you may be able to stop some who don’t know much about this type of traps and defense systems, and lack all kinds of preparations, even some of the dark iron level transcendents. High Dark Iron Grade transcendents can directly break in.
