Chapter 696: "·Interest Exchange"

Inferiority complex and the pursuit of superiority are two sides of the same basic fact in life, and the two are inseparable.
-Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)
On the third day of the alliance between Prince William and Prince Philip, an urgent letter of help from the Blast Thieves was delivered to the hands of Prince William through a special Golden Guardian channel; at this time, twelve days have passed since the date of sending this letter of help Time of day.
In the five eastern provinces that were captured by the orc army, all the food supplies and valuable population were all looted by the orc warriors; this directly led to the wind thieves plunged, and there was no grain of food in Jinshan and Yinshan. Dilemma.
The influx of large numbers of refugees and the formation of a new army have further exacerbated the shortage of food for the Blast Thieves; when they issued this letter of assistance, the remaining food in the huge base was only enough for everyone for 25 days. .
This means that when Prince William received this letter of assistance, there were only 13 days of rations left in the base of the blast thief group; after 13 days, the blast thief group that the Prince William painstakingly operated would be in shortage of food. Fall apart until completely destroyed.
Such a result is that Prince William, whose overall strength has shrunk by nearly 40%, is unacceptable in any case; once the total strength is increased to 50,000, the blast thieves are destroyed, then Prince William's overall strength will shrink by an astonishing 60%.
In other words, the rapid development of the blast thieves group has the strength equivalent to 20% of the overall strength of Prince William; such a strong force, not to mention the reduced strength of Prince William, is the heyday Prince William is impossible to give up!
However, if you don’t give up subjectively, you can’t change your objective power. In the imperial capital, Prince William simply can’t deliver a batch of food enough to maintain the existence of the wind thieves within 13 days. Occupied Province.
At this time, the initiative of the Duke of Gurner had been approved by Charlie the Great. As the commander of the army, Bai Feng became the only person who could assist the wind thieves in time; therefore, the power between the princes was again involved here. Dispute.
Bai Feng is a core member of the Bai family. The Bai family is a strong ally of Prince Pros. But between Prince William and Prince Pros, they are the most powerful competitors of each other; therefore, Prince William has almost no chance to convince Bai Feng to help him Rescue Blast Thieves.
Since he could not start with Bai Feng, then Prince William could only place his hope on Prince Pross; on the night of receiving the letter of assistance, Prince William was under the guard of a team of golden clothing guards and came to Prince Prosperously. Mansion.
"Brother, you haven't come to the mansion of the younger brother some days. How come you have time to come here tonight?" Prince William's carriage just arrived at the mansion of Prince Pross. The initiative greeted us.
"Xiao Ba, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Bai family in Nanjing. I came to you tonight, but I have something to ask for!" In order to keep these two vital forces in his hands, Prince William opened himself as soon as he spoke The posture is very low.
"Nanjing Baijia?" Knowing that his alliance with the Baijia is well known to the emperor, the Prince of Pros still pretended to be embarrassed: "Brother, my relationship with the Baijia is also ordinary, far from outside. People are so close."
Seeing that his elder brother's face became more and more difficult to look at, he knew that this was a bit too hypocritical, Prince Pross, then added:
"However, Brother has any need for help. Although I am instructed, I will definitely help you to mediate as much as possible; as for whether I can help you, I can’t guarantee it. After all, it’s Bai’s business. I’m not a good outsider. put one's oar in."
"Xiao Ba, the eldest brother would like to thank you for your kindness first." Prince William, who held back his anger in his heart, said a little bit of abruptness: "I hope you can pass Bai Family and let Bai Feng transport me a batch of food to go A place, is it okay?"
"Brother, this, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle!" Prince Pross, who smiled and smiled, said this time: "Big brother, you don't know the situation over the province of Nice, Bai Feng's initiative to attack the food, but The Duke of Genna was squeezed from the other armies."
"I know that Bai Feng only has 250,000 troops in three months to eat food, so I only need him to take out one third of the food to help me meet the urgent needs; at most one month later, I will use twice, no, Three times more food to pay him back!"
Prince Pross, who had a general understanding of Prince William’s intentions, immediately shook his head and refused when he heard the compensation price offered by the other party: "Brother, even if you compensate Bai Feng with three times the grain, he will not agree; It is a felony to sell military food in China."
"Reselling military food?" The slightly stunned Prince William came up with the next moment of anger. Prince William, who felt humiliated by himself, had to swallow his breath in order to protect his 50,000 hard-earned army:
"Xiao Ba, this time your elder brother really needs you to help me persuade Bai Feng, so that he must do me a favor; as long as he is willing to do me a favor, if he has any requirements, just open his mouth, I will try my best to satisfy him. conditions of!"
After getting this sentence from his eldest brother, the contented Prince of Pros knew that everything was almost done, he could rest assured to make his own request; this was a good opportunity to kill people, or someone else took the initiative to come to the door .
"Brother, I heard that the military department just gave Bai Feng the designation of the five Eastern legions; this Eastern legion is really indifferent. I think that with the power of Bai Feng and his performance on the battlefield, the Imperial Army gave him five standing legions. It’s not too much, right?"
"This..." When it comes to the sensitive topic of military power, Prince William dare not promise easily; after some inner struggle, he made up his mind: "I will try to convince the Duke of Columbine to change the name of the Eastern Legion to Standing Legion!"
"No, no, no, my good brother, the Duke of Columbine is the minister of the empire. How can the orders of the empire be changed? I mean, in addition to the five Eastern legions, there can be five standing troops under the command of Bai Feng. group."
"This is absolutely impossible!" This time, Prince William did not control his emotions. He stood up on the spot and said fiercely: "The five standing legions, even if it is recommended by the Duke of Columbine, the father emperor can never approve it. Such a proposal!"
I also felt that the Prince, who was too expensive, thought a little, and then looked at the solemnity: "Brother, let's open the skylight to speak brightly; I want the three standing legions, which belong to me directly, not belong Under Bai Feng."
"Yes!" Prince William, who had the same dignified face, agreed to it without thinking: "I can ask the Imperial Army to give you three standing legions and give them to you. As a reward, I need Bai Feng to collect the wind thieves in the name of the rebels. And passed it on to the Imperial Army."
"Big Brother, when will the three standing legions of the Imperial Ministry be handed over to me, my courier will take what you need to the province of Nice; after that, it will only take up to ten days for the food to be delivered to where it is needed. "
"At the latest tomorrow afternoon, the Imperial Ministry will issue the new order you want; but I want you to guarantee that within ten days, the food will be delivered to the place I want you to send. Remember, it is not the messenger who arrives in Nice Ten days after saving, but within ten days from tomorrow!"
"Deal!" Prince Pross agreed with a smile.
