【1005】 Deserted, guests and deceit
The wedding is under intense preparations.
As the party involved, Yasuo did not pay much attention to the wedding itself except for the necessary "rehearsal".
Compared to the wedding, what he needs to pay more attention to is the upcoming multilateral diplomacy.
Although it is a little slower than the guests who simply come to attend the wedding, delegations of envoys from various countries have also arrived at Fukugawa Island one after another, and these envoys will also participate in the wedding. In a sense, a wedding is also a means of Yasuo's self-expression.
Compared with the last multilateral diplomatic conference, Fukugawa Island is now much deserted. After graduation, the group with the smallest number of students in the four groups came back. In this case, the entire Fukugawa Island seemed to have been pulled away a lot of life.
More importantly, the students in the second group still have no substantive information.
That is the hope of 200 young children and 200 families. For Fukuoshima, which has a population of urgent needs, these children account for a considerable proportion of the new generation!
Now, these young people have quietly disappeared into the long yellow sand of Shurima, not knowing their life and death... Not long ago, when Yasuo informed the parents of this news, they almost went crazy on the spot!
Many parents who could not accept the news were kneeling on the ground powerlessly and cried loudly on the spot. Some of them gritted their teeth and begged Yasuo to save their children, but Yasuo could only bear it silently - it was related to Akasia, so it was not that simple?
The scene was on the verge of losing control, but this was because Yasuo did not appear with Jax and Kassadin.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the people who came to the island were wandering generations, if the parents were not marginal figures who were excluded, if they didn't need to join forces on Fuguang Island to keep warm, it would probably be as simple as the scene was out of control.
As for what Yasuo said, "They encountered a little accident, but they will come back eventually", at most, they are regarded as helpless comfort, and no one thinks that these students can really come back.
But... no matter what, this matter finally subsided. Fukugawa Island had no other problems except that it was a bit deserted.
………………………………………
The first person to arrive at Fuguang Island was a Noxusian.
He is still an old acquaintance, Alisa, the female baron seems to be a "Noxas Foreign Minister". According to Yasuo's known, when Svein personally led the army to fight against the Telishni and the Shurima people, Alisa has been conducting diplomatic activities within Northeast Mutual Protection.
Judging from some rumors about Piltwolf, the baron has "very serious espionage habits" in many places, but due to the situation, even if the people of Picheng were dissatisfied, they would at most have a few sarcasm with guns and sticks. This irony obviously had no substantial impact on a lady in the North who was determined to make a contribution.
Alisa still went to and from the "upper dance party" and secretly used Noxus' business contract to win over Northeast Mutual Insurance.
The Noxus people holding large orders are obviously a hot commodity in the eyes of merchants. Even merchants know that the end result of doing business with Noxus may be to seek skin from a tiger, but... merchants dare to sell the rope that hangs themselves. This level of cooperation is just a drizzle!
There are not others who are as clear as Kamil within Northeast Mutual Protection, but because of the Shurima situation, cooperation with Noxus is currently the "political correctness" of Northeast Mutual Protection. Even the commercial contract that Noxus uses to win over the inner demons can be explained as "in order to better concentrate resources to deal with the Shurima attack."
As for why Noxus uses high prices to acquire watches, glass products and primary metal products as "strategic resources"... Don't ask, it's military secrets.
In short, the Noxus people who wield large orders have indeed won over a pro-Noxus group within Northeast Mutual Protection. This group may not be really close to Noxus, but at least so far, their relationship is very close, which can be said to be a prosperous and a loss.
From an economic perspective, at least from the present, the effect is better than the previous war stonemasons sent out spies directly - although spies can indeed obtain some information that cannot be obtained by normal means, this open and upright win-win is obviously more suitable for the current Noxus.
Although Yasuo, who used his own strength to build a platform and formulate rules through the east wind of the Shurima War, made the rules, but the Noxus were like fish in water in this framework with their flexible means and powerful foundation.
This time, the Noxus people who have the power of victory have focused on the framework itself. Svein knew from the beginning that no matter how well the game was played, they could not play the rule-making people. If possible, Noxus prefers to use the current multilateral diplomacy platform to start a new platform that is more suitable for Noxus.
Svein wants to see more by turning his back on the Internet.
To achieve this goal, Alisa is currently unprecedentedly active.
Large amounts of economic orders were poured out, and she forced many people to the Noxus chariot. Even if she could provide at most a station ticket, it was still a different achievement for Noxus.
This method was even Svein "stealed" from Yasuo - during the most difficult period before Noxus, Svein regulated internal conflicts while studying his past failures. As the person who defeated him head-on, Yasuo also became Svein's research object in a sense.
Some people attribute failure to luck, while others attribute failure to objective influence.
In the failure of the Battle of Ionia, Svein could indeed explain it with the sentence "How can we do a good military cooperation with such a worm?", but even though he later fought back and took over the power of Noxus, the commander never stopped reflecting himself.
If Noxus had really given it all, would he be able to win Ionia?
Or would he win a series of victories in Ionia and then drag the entire empire into the abyss of war?
During the "relaxation and relaxation", Svein made countless possible deductions, which gave him many gains from different angles and made him realize the particularity of Yasuo. Since then, Svein has been paying attention to Yasuo.
Svein has always been full of confidence, and in his opinion, Yasuo, who can attack him in a positive way, is obviously an absolute strong man.
It is obviously not embarrassing to learn such things from the strong.
Later, Yasuo successfully led to the cooperation between Ionia and Piltwolf. When the content of the cooperation was released and some hidden information was also discovered by the stonemason in the war, Svein benefited a lot.
Through the Ionian War, Svein clearly realized that conquest was never just about the occupation of large troops and conquest by force.
Through the cooperation between Ionia and Piltwolf, he found another path to conquest-this time, Svein clearly realized that the pickled transactions that had occurred among the Noxus nobles could become a means of external expansion as long as they were used properly.
However, in Noxus, the transactions of money, power and beauty by the nobles will eventually only empty Noxus; and use the same means to buy and win over the "pro-Noxus factions" and bind them with interests to Noxus. Even if the methods of acting are similar to the former, it is for Noxus.
However, because of the previous intelligence infiltration problems and Noxus' undisguised desire to conquer, many city-states, including Piltwolf, have always been full of vigilance against Noxus. Even though Svein found a way to exert influence, he still felt that he had no idea about these countries...
Until the outbreak of the Shurima War, Yasuo promoted multilateral diplomacy. Through this platform, Noxus finally successfully demonstrated its new posture.
………………………………………
Svein's abacus was very loud, and Arya's methods were also very clever, but Yasuo did not respond to this.
This is not because Yasuo did not understand the wishes of the Noxus. In fact, from the very beginning, Yasuo had a clear understanding of the Noxus.
The commander had the intention to turn against the enemy, but unfortunately, in Yasuo's view, with Noxus winning a big victory in Shurima, this kind of turn against the enemy would definitely not succeed.
This conclusion has nothing to do with how many people Noxus has attracted, nor has it to who Svein sent as an envoy, but it is only related to the outcome of the battlefield of Shurima.
Zelas is finished, Azer is in disgrace, and now Northeast Mutual Protection...will he stand with Noxus?
Even if some people will "treason" for their own interests, don't forget that within Northeast Mutual Protection, there are still people who are always sober!
At least the Grey Mrs. Grey had seen Noxus's abacus thoroughly. In the previous correspondence with Taliyah, Yasuo had clearly felt Camil's fear of the Noxus people.
At that time, Noxus was just stationing troops in Telishni, looking very cowardly.
Now, Svein has won consecutive victories in the Akara Mountains, and the situation in Shurima is very good. Even if someone is in a consistent position with Noxus, it is impossible to express it rashly.
Sure enough, as more and more messengers arrived, Alisa looked more and more anxious.
Things are not the same as expected.
Although many messengers still had smiles on their faces when talking about the trade list, if they wanted to expand the scale of trade, even if these people still had desire in their eyes, they could only say "talk about it again and discuss it again", and they completely lost their previous attitude of taking on big bags.
And this change in attitude... well reflects their current attitude.
I wonder if it was an hallucination, but when Alisa found that Yasuo looked at her, there seemed to be a bit ridiculous in her eyes?
This bastard!
However, for Alisa, this difficult diplomacy is just the beginning.
Just when her activity was fruitless, the Demacians who came from afar arrived at Fukugawa Island. Among the Demacian delegation, a guy with wings attracted the attention of all the representatives present.
For the messengers from Northeast Mutual Protection, they experienced the resurrection of the emperor and the ascension of the energy creatures, and were already very acceptable to this extraordinary existence. After the initial surprise, many people began to try to get in touch with Demacia. In their opinion, Demacia after Noxus' victory was like Noxus in the previous period of Zelas' aggressiveness, and he was the next best friend now.
This is not the end.
What made Alyssa's eyes widen was that after the messenger of Demacia appeared, the messenger of Zeras and Azer also arrived at Fukugami Island.
Although the double rebellion envoys almost performed a full martial arts campaign on the beach just after arriving, under Yasuo's adjustment, they finally chose to go down the slope and stayed in the embassy honestly after snorting.
Because of the previous inertial thinking, Alisa never thought that this problem would occur to the envoys of these two families. After seeing them with her own eyes, the baron suddenly realized that the multilateral diplomatic theme this time seemed to be completely different from the last time.
The last time everyone gathered at Fukugami Island was because of Zeras' aggressiveness and Azer's unexpected rebirth.
And this time, the person who plays the role of everyone is confronted by him, no matter how he looks like... Noxus.
As a diplomat in Noxus, Alisa has an extraordinary political sense. She clearly realized the problem and quickly adjusted her next work direction. Now, she does not seek to expand the influence of Noxus, and uses her interests to win over others. She only seeks to defend the basics and not let Noxus become the target of public criticism like Zelas last time.
Well, considering Svein's multiple instructions before departure, Alisa finally understood the most important significance of her trip. If Yasuo must sanction Noxus, she would weaken the sanctions and blockade effects as much as possible, and then cooperate with domestic forces to crush such blockades and sanctions in one fell swoop.
In this way, multilateral diplomacy will be in name only and lose its true influence!
Well, if you think about it this way, maybe this is still an opportunity?
Alisa was excited again.
Unfortunately, the baron did not realize that during the time when she re-formed her plan and suspended the event, Yasuo arranged several private banquets, providing a very good exchange opportunity for Northeast Mutual Protection, Azer and Zelas' messengers.
And under conscious guidance, the exchange topics of these diplomatic envoys will eventually turn into rebukes of the Noxus people's treason.
After all... Svein, who had never been tired of deceit before, used a small fraud to induce Azer and Zelas to start the war desperately, and finally successfully occupied the position of the fisherman.
Even if fraud on the battlefield is different from diplomatic, this does not prevent them from labeling a fraud on the Noxus.
Chapter completed!
