I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 280 The Purpose of Each Party

During the break of the banquet, William followed Alpha to the conference room angrily and complained indignantly: "Lord Alpha, they are so hateful! You are obviously the biggest contributor, how can they treat you like this?"

Alpha leaned back on the sofa, seemingly not surprised by all this. He knew very well that there was no so-called friendship between countries, only eternal strategic interests. "It's okay, these are just small problems." His tone was calm, as if he had seen through all this.

"Lord Alpha, are you not angry at all?" William told Alpha the empire's decision in detail, and even explained the final bottom line - handing over 80% of the land that produces grain - without reservation. However, Alpha didn't seem to care. He was thinking about how to make the empire pay the price. Even if they had to hand over the grain-producing land, they would never succeed easily.

"These are all trivial matters. There's no need to get angry." Alpha thought calmly. He planned to make the empire pay a price for this.

William became more and more excited, and he continued, "Lord Alpha, I don't want to stay in the imperial capital anymore. There, I can't see any human warmth, only endless intrigues.

My brothers and sisters now look at me with hostility. Originally, they thought I was innocent and posed no threat to them, so they were more tolerant of me. But after I made a name for myself this time, they began to re-examine me and were no longer polite to me. "To be able to say these words means that William is no longer the innocent child he once was.

Since ancient times, there has been little real family affection in the royal family, and Alpha knows this very well. He understands that if William does not want to be involved in the royal family's disputes, he must stay away from the center of power.

"So, where do you want to stay?" Alpha looked at William. He knew that William's idea was not impulsive.

"I don't know either. I want to stay in Oli and don't want to go back." William revealed his true feelings.

Alpha stared at William, and he realized clearly from William's pleading eyes that William was not joking, but really had an urgent need.

"Let me think about it, what if you are willing to stay here as governor?" A bold idea suddenly flashed through Alpha's mind. In this way, even if Ollie is no longer under his control, he can ensure a peaceful and stable rear.

Alfa knows that a stable rear is crucial for future development. With William's management, he can focus more on meeting the challenges ahead without worrying about the turmoil in the rear.

"But I know nothing about management!" William had no confidence in his abilities. He had never learned how to manage a city, let alone a large area like Ori.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you always stick to your heart, nothing is impossible." Alpha began to think. If this is the case, then the countermeasures previously formulated need to be appropriately adjusted.

Alpha thought that letting Prince William serve as the governor would not only change the hostile attitude of those people in the imperial capital towards William, but also save him a lot of trouble. In addition, letting William serve as the governor would also show his trust and importance in him, further consolidating the relationship between them. More importantly, a stable rear could provide material and resource support for the battle in the front, making the entire force more solid and powerful.

However, Alpha is also well aware of the risks and challenges involved. He needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons to ensure that this decision will not bring unexpected consequences. He thinks about how to negotiate with William and clarify the responsibilities and expectations of both parties to ensure that this arrangement can be implemented smoothly and achieve the desired results.

Alpha took a deep breath and decided to discuss this idea with William. He believed that through frank communication and reasonable planning, they would be able to find a solution that would satisfy William's needs and be in the interests of the whole. This bold idea might become a key step in their future success and bring new opportunities and possibilities to their careers.

In the face of the current situation, Alpha, Linda and Farana acted quickly and began to discuss and re-formulate a response strategy. According to Alpha's original idea, the state of Austria would remain independent from the German Empire and only need to deliver enough food every year.

However, Alpha, who originally planned to deal a heavy blow to the empire, had to change his plan. He was determined to build the state of Auli into a vibrant emerging city, no longer relying on exploiting the people to gain profits. Alpha took a series of positive measures, first reducing taxes and alleviating the burden on the people.

At the same time, he increased trade with other regions and purchased their grain to meet the needs of the state of Aoli. In addition, Alpha actively promoted the export of his own products, striving to achieve a virtuous circle.

By reducing taxes, people will have more disposable income, which will promote consumption and economic growth. At the same time, increased trade will not only provide a sufficient food supply for the state of Austria, but also open up a wider market for local products. This mutually beneficial exchange will further drive the development of the city, create more jobs and wealth.

Alfa's goal is to build a sustainable economic model to make Australasia a prosperous, harmonious and self-sufficient city. His decisions not only take into account the current interests, but also focus on the long-term development of the future. In this way, Alfa hopes to create better living conditions for the people of Australasia and achieve a win-win situation in the development of the city.

Solving the issue of the ownership of Auli was indeed full of challenges, but the successful recovery of Auli and the removal of the three princes from the core of imperial power was a far-reaching and significant achievement. When Gris brought the news back to the imperial capital, the eldest prince gave his full support, not only exempting Auli from taxes for two years, but also turning the delivery of grain into a form of transaction.

However, the difficulties in the negotiations were not fundamentally resolved. The core issue that the forces behind Gris and Green were concerned about this time was Alpha's magic gun technology. Although the major empires on the continent were researching magic gun technology, due to the difficulty in manufacturing the barrel, it became extremely difficult to manufacture high-powered precision sniper rifles, and at most they could only produce shotguns with lower barrel requirements.

Magic gun technology is quietly changing the landscape of the continent's knights, so it is crucial to master the most advanced technology and ensure a stable supply of it. This is not only related to one's own interests, but also to maintain the status and advantages of the empire.

In order to achieve this goal, the Empire needs to increase investment in the research and development of magic gun technology. Scholars and craftsmen can be sent to other countries to learn and exchange, and absorb advanced technical experience. At the same time, special research institutions and factories should be established to concentrate resources on research and development and production. In addition, establishing cooperative relations with other countries to jointly carry out technical research and resource sharing is also an effective way to improve the level of magic gun technology.

While solving technical problems, the Empire also needs to strengthen the protection and management of magic gun technology. Strictly control the outflow of technology, establish a strict patent and confidentiality system, and ensure that core technology is not obtained by competitors. At the same time, strengthen supervision of the production process, ensure product quality and stability, and establish a good brand image.

In addition to the technical level, the cultivation of talents is also key. The empire should set up a professional magic gun technology school to train a group of high-quality technical talents and craftsmen. Provide generous treatment and development opportunities to attract outstanding talents to devote themselves to the research and development of magic gun technology.

But all this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time. Now they just want to obtain Alpha's technology.

"I can give you the magic gun technology, and I can also provide you with a stable production supply." After thinking for a while, Alpha gave an answer that surprised everyone.

"As long as you give us the technology, we are willing to agree to any conditions." Gris had already received the promise of the eldest prince to exchange the state of Aurelius for the magic gun technology.

"What conditions do you need, Alpha Knight?" Green knew that the conditions proposed by the other party must be not simple, but he did not dare to promise it easily. At worst, he could ask the Vatican to intervene.

"I need magic stones, a lot of energy magic stones." Alpha stated his needs without any hesitation.

This time, the two did not agree immediately. You know, magic stones are extremely important strategic materials and cannot be handed over easily.

"Alpha Knight, the supply of magic stones is no small matter." Green said in a serious tone, "The mining and storage of magic stones are strictly controlled. We cannot easily meet your needs."

Gris also agreed: "Yes, the number of magic stones is limited, and we must use them with caution. Moreover, magic stones are also of great significance to our country. We cannot give up control of them easily."

Alpha understood their concerns, but he stood firm. "I know the importance of magic stones, but our production is also inseparable from them. Without enough magic stones, we cannot maintain the production of weapons, which will affect our common interests." He continued, "I am not asking you to provide unlimited magic stones, but I just hope to establish a stable supply channel to ensure that we all have enough resources."

Green thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can consider looking for other solutions. Is it possible to solve the problem of magic stone shortage by cooperating to develop new mines or find alternative energy sources?"

Alpha nodded and said, "This is also a feasible direction. However, we have not yet found a reliable alternative energy source, and developing new mines takes time and resources. During this time, we still need magic stones to maintain production."

Gris suggested: "Then we can provide some magic stones first, and at the same time speed up the research on finding alternative energy sources. This will not only meet your needs, but also ensure our interests."

Alfa agreed: "I can accept such a plan. But we need to clarify the quantity and timing of the supply, as well as the details of cooperation in finding alternative energy sources."
