Chapter 235 Game of Thrones
In the endless darkness, a mysterious figure gradually emerged. Lord Philros stood in the shadows, worrying about the problems of Germany. At this moment, the Orff family appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Lord Philros, I said before that guy would definitely accept Lotus. Facts have proved that my judgment was correct." The people of the Orff family appeared at this critical moment, obviously they were well prepared.
A trace of dissatisfaction welled up in Philros' heart, and he shouted angrily: "You, the Orff family, are so cruel and ruthless that you are still calculating against others at this time." However, faced with the temptation of interests, he finally reached a consensus with the Orff family and decided to split Luster away to shirk responsibility.
"Doing this will benefit everyone, so why not do it, sir?" The shadow smiled cunningly, as if he had seen the dawn of success.
Philros's brows were still furrowed. He said worriedly, "What if that guy can't hold on? Then our Thor and your Free Alliance will be the first to bear the brunt and be seriously affected."
The man from the Orff family seemed confident. He said calmly: "Then we will try our best to give him some help and let him hold on for us for a while longer. I believe that the war in the German Empire will not last too long. In the end, both sides can send troops to the border and declare that this order does not have the royal seal and is directly invalid. In this way, we will not suffer any losses." They seemed to have calculated every step long ago. Even if Alpha really held that place, they would never hand over Luster.
"Okay, I get it. It's you, the Orff family, who are the best at cheating people." Philros secretly decided in his heart that he would never easily believe the Orff family's promises again, because that was simply the devil's oath and not a single word of it could be taken seriously.
In this intricate and treacherous power game, trust is like thin ice, vulnerable to attack. Everyone is secretly planning and laying out for their own interests. The conspiracy of the Orff family and the betrayal of Philros are intertwined, making the already turbulent situation in Luster even more confusing and complicated.
In this fierce game, Alpha and his allies will face more severe challenges and tests.
"As for food supplies, we hope to purchase them at 50% of the market price." Alpha acted promptly and immediately began negotiations with the relevant personnel in Thor City.
"50%? Absolutely not! We will lose money this way!" The administrative official was firm and did not allow for negotiation. In fact, there was still room for profit if the price was 50%, but the city lord would never allow such a deal. Because if he won, his political career would end there.
"I can accept 70% of the price, but after this crisis, the price must remain stable and the supply cannot be interrupted. Otherwise, I can only go to the city lord to discuss it." Alpha knew that once the war broke out, the prices of these materials would inevitably soar.
"No, we just agree to this price!" The official did not dare to let Alpha go to the Lord of Philos, otherwise his own position would be in jeopardy.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement. Alpha successfully acquired a large area of Lust, and together with the Beth Mountain area, his territory was equivalent to half of the Free Alliance.
Of course, half of it is mountainous, and one-third of the area is a chaotic no-man's land, and there are very few truly safe areas.
Alpha stepped out of Thor City, his steps were as light as walking on cotton, as if this good fortune from heaven made him feel like he was falling into the clouds. But he knew that behind all this were countless sleepless nights of planning and hard work. He could not slack off at all, because he knew that all this was just the beginning, and the real challenge had just arrived.
Of course, the real reason is just a blank piece of paper, an order without a stamp, which can be taken back at any time.
"How much do the supplies they need cost?" Philros is a man who values money very much, and he will never allow himself to suffer losses in any transaction.
"Sir, we sold the supplies to them at 70% of the market price, and they paid in real money." The official did not dare to conceal anything and reported the truth.
Philros knew that this price was already quite high for wholesale. He nodded secretly, quite satisfied with the official's performance, and then asked, "How much surplus grain do we have left now?"
"We haven't yet processed the surplus grain from the previous year, and the food we have now is enough to last us another five years. What's more, new grain will be on the market soon." Tor is a well-known grain-producing province, and its annual output is even enough to meet the consumption of an entire country.
"Very good!" Philros was in a good mood. Now that the border issue had been resolved, even the commercial issue had been solved. He patted the official on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Then supply materials according to their needs without limit, but make sure to receive the money. This matter is left to you."
After successfully obtaining the warrant, Alpha immediately demonstrated his high efficiency. He sent reliable personnel back quickly to contact Linda in order to start forming a caravan. At the same time, Alpha himself did not delay and headed towards the Luster mining area. After all, this mining area will be the core area of his next activities and the key to achieving his goals.
Alpha knew the value of time and understood that in the business world, quick action and decisive decision-making were the keys to success. Therefore, he raced against time and spared no effort to invest in the next phase of the plan. He knew clearly that the Luster mining area contained huge business potential and opportunities, and only by personally going deep into it could he better grasp and tap these opportunities.
On the way to the Luster Mine, Alpha thought about how to maximize the advantages of this mine. He studied the geographical location, resource distribution and market demand of the mine and formulated a series of strategies and plans. He intended to establish a good cooperative relationship with local miners, suppliers and other relevant parties to jointly develop and utilize the resources of the mine and achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
Alpha also took into account the challenges and difficulties that might be faced. He knew that the operation of the mine might be affected by a variety of factors, such as market fluctuations, pressure from competitors and environmental issues. However, he firmly believed that through careful planning, flexible response and team efforts, they could overcome these challenges and achieve considerable business results.
After arriving at the Luster Mine, Alpha will go all out to demonstrate his leadership and business acumen. He will actively cooperate with all parties to promote the formation of the caravan and the development of the mine, and work hard to achieve his business goals. This new field full of opportunities and challenges will witness Alpha's determination and courage, and will also be an important step towards his success.
As for the safety of the Luster Mine, Alpha did not pay too much attention to it. After all, this was a problem faced by the German Empire, and Alpha knew very well that unless the German Empire intended to spread the war to Fatalia, this problem had no direct connection with him.
However, when the war gradually spread and threatened Fatalia, Alpha had to start thinking about how to deal with this crisis.
Facing the strong expansion of the violent forces of the German Empire, Alpha knew that it was difficult to compete with them on his own. He understood that in the case of a huge disparity in power, a head-on confrontation would only put him in a desperate situation. Therefore, he chose a seemingly compromising strategy: giving up part of the area and concentrating on defending half of the mining area. Although such a decision seemed to be a sign of weakness in the eyes of outsiders, Alpha knew that it was a wise move in the case of a huge disparity in power between the enemy and us.
This strategy not only preserves its own strength to the maximum extent, but also leaves room for maneuver for possible changes in the future. Alpha knows that the outcome of a war often depends not only on temporary gains and losses, but also on long-term strategic layout. He is willing to give in temporarily in order to find a better opportunity to counterattack in the future.
However, such a decision is not without cost. Giving up some areas means giving up some resources and benefits, which is undoubtedly a loss for Alpha. At the same time, he also needs to face pressure and doubts from within. After all, not everyone can understand his good intentions. The most important thing is that Thor's material trade may be interrupted, so Alpha must do his best to obtain materials.
But Alpha always believed that only by preserving strength can he occupy a more advantageous position in future struggles. He was willing to bear the immediate pressure and losses in exchange for longer-term benefits and victory. This calm and rational way of thinking was the key to Alpha's success in the complex and ever-changing political situation.
In the war-torn continent, Alpha's choice may not be understood by everyone. But he knows that only by daring to make difficult choices can he leave a strong mark in the long river of history.
At night, the Luster mining area is brightly lit, like a city that never sleeps. However, behind this prosperous place, there are countless vicissitudes and bitterness. When Alpha stepped into this land, the night was already deep, as if an endless darkness enveloped him.
Captain Mark and Lilia had been waiting for Alpha at the entrance of the mining area. Their figures, against the backdrop of the lights, looked particularly firm and persistent. This loyalty and friendship, like a warm force, dispelled the fatigue in Alpha's heart.
"Alpha, you're finally here." Captain Mark walked forward and hugged Alpha tightly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain." Alpha patted Mark on the shoulder, a hint of relief in his eyes.
Lilia stood quietly by, her eyes full of expectation and trust. She knew that Alpha's arrival would bring new hope to the mining area.
"Everyone go back and rest." Alpha's voice echoed in the silent night. "Lilia, come with me and report the current situation in detail."
Captain Mark nodded and led everyone away. He knew that Alpha needed time to understand the current situation of the mining area in order to make better decisions.
Lilia followed Alpha into the mining office. The lights in the room were a little dim, but it created a peaceful atmosphere.
"Lord Alpha, the situation in the mining area is not very optimistic recently." Lilia's voice was filled with worry. "The mining speed of resources is gradually slowing down, and the safety issues in the mining area are becoming increasingly prominent."
Alpha frowned, he understood the seriousness of these problems. He sat in a chair and listened carefully to Lilia's report.
"Our miners have been working continuously for a long time, and they are under tremendous physical and mental pressure." Lilia continued, "In addition, some equipment in the mine has also malfunctioned and needs to be repaired and replaced in a timely manner."
"Lilia, you seem to have gotten a lot darker and thinner recently. It must be very hard for you." Fanxing looked at the two people hugging each other tightly, and closed the door gently and sensibly.
"Lord Alpha, it has been really hard during this period." Lilia's voice was soft and a little tired. Her skin became darker under the scorching sun, and her figure looked thinner. "However, for the safety and stability of the mining area, I am willing to give everything."
Alpha stared at Lilia, and was deeply moved. He knew that this woman had been silently devoting herself to him, the mining area, and the future of Fatalia.
"Lilia, I see all your efforts." Alpha reached out and gently held Lilia's hand. Their palms touched, as if they could feel each other's heartbeat and body temperature.
In the following days, Lilia reported the current situation of the Luster Mine to Alpha in detail. From the subtle changes in resource output, to the reasonable adjustment of personnel allocation, to the one-by-one investigation of safety hazards, she explained them one by one in detail. Alpha listened attentively, and from time to time raised his own questions and unique insights.
