Chapter 798 Further Cooperation
Bang!
As the sun rises and prefabricated building components are pounded into holes by workers wearing exoskeletons, the dawn in Latveria is far more lively than in most cities around the world.
After solving the problem of the Eastern Entente, Lille, like his country, began a new round of work.
First, no doubt, greetings from our European allies——
[Speaker Schulz: Good morning, King. Here, on behalf of the European Union, I would like to congratulate you on your victory. 】
[Speaker Schultz: If possible, I would like to discuss with you some situations that occurred during the war.]
In the holographic projector, Schultz's condition looked a little tighter than before——
In other words, it's more formal.
It's not that he lacked respect and respect for Lille before, but the speaker was obviously more relaxed every time he met with Lille, and his words expressed more concerns to varying degrees.
Things are different now. Now Latvia, the most backward country in the world - a country that can hardly even be called a modern country - has changed its face.
Although the population is only over 500,000, and the territory is only 100,000 square kilometers, they captured the floating fortress from the Eastern Entente, captured a large number of war mechas, and maybe there were airplanes inside——
If the general rebels or backward countries seized the aircraft, Schultz would only shake his head and comment: Do these primitive people know how to use the aircraft if they have it? Don't get killed by a plane engine.
Latvia is different. The AK47 has been upgraded, and the civilian supplies assisted by the European Union have turned into high-end prosthetics, exoskeletons and combat equipment. In just a short time, Lille has been able to develop a world-class team. Special Forces!
This is why Schulz became official: Latvia is no longer some poor country liberated from medieval backwardness.
The conflict between the Eastern Entente and Latvia is mainly between several small countries, including Sokovia, which has been captured. These countries receive military assistance from other larger countries. Latvia What was received was humanitarian aid.
If the Eastern Entente wins this war, or the Sokovian Three Kingdoms are slightly defeated, it will take time to advance, which will be a good thing for the Eastern Entente and their sponsors
The problem is that the three countries of Sokovia were not slightly defeated, but were completely disarmed.
In the entire Eastern Europe, it is difficult to find a country that is more oppressive than Latvia, coupled with Atlas represented by Lille and the technology in his hands.
< br>
Just because this country has a sparse population does not mean that they are a soft persimmon that is still being kneaded by others.
Schulz's appeal was simple: they needed the military technology in Lear's hands, and if possible, they also needed the Sky Fortress.
[Lille: I can tell you how these pilots are trained, and I can even export equipment to you. 】
[Lille: But I suggest you take a look at their training standards first. 】
[Schultz: What do you mean? 】
[Lille: This kind of training will kill people, even if it is just the first stage of virtual training. 】
Schultz was stunned, not quite understanding how virtual training could kill people.
[Lille: Virtual training will 100% simulate the stimulation of the nervous system by the scene. If your nervous system declares your death during training, you will die. 】
[Schulz: Can't it be organized through technical means? Like stopping stimulation at the last minute? 】
[Lille: Then there is no point in training. Even if you train in a way that weakens your feelings, the unqualified pilots who are trained will die in subsequent actual combat. 】
[Lear: Ordinary people cannot withstand the high-intensity pulling force of three-dimensional mobile equipment, so they need enhanced prosthetics and exoskeletons. 】
[Lear: In order to get the most sensitive feedback during high-speed combat, they need better neural implants deep into the brain. 】
[Lille: If you can't even pass the virtual training, you will die in such a battle sooner or later. 】
[Lille: The most powerful weapon requires the strongest will control. 】
Schultz's mind flashed through the files that Atlas Group had uploaded to the public network, that is, the report on "Cyber Psychosis". He touched his chin and began to sigh in his heart:
They couldn't risk a bunch of soldiers going crazy during training.
Schulz took a deep look at Lille:
[Schulz: How does Latvia deal with this problem? 】
[Lille: Latvilla did not deal with this problem, we have bigger problems to solve. 】
[Schultz: Okay. Is it possible to lower the intensity so that ordinary soldiers can train? Also, are there weakened versions of the firearms and other equipment you use? 】
[Lille: Mr. Speaker, there are indeed some weakened versions of military supplies available for sale, but I suggest you learn more about your military supplies procurement. 】
Not all equipment is so rare. For example, a weakened version of the three-dimensional mobile equipment is nothing more than a hook and a recovery rope
Lear can sell them, but he doesn't think these things will substantially improve the current European army.
[Shultz: Well, that’s a very sincere suggestion. Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. 】
[Schulz: There is one more thing, you may be willing to join in] Lear shook his head:
[Lille: Impossible, we will follow normal trade channels. 】
Schulz lightly shrugged. He had expected this result: Latvia had no intention of seeking asylum at its weakest and most critical moment, and now he asked them if they wanted to join?
Makes no sense.
As for the population support deal proposed by some members of the parliament, he secretly ignored the proposal and did not speak again.
It's strange, why does he think the European Union is superior to this small country?
Cooperation with the European Union is very simple. Schultz will continue to deploy a large amount of civilian supplies from Europe to support Latvia's construction: food, raw materials, a large number of semi-finished products and not too complicated finished products, etc.
The difference from before is that this time Latvia will start exporting products to the European Union.
The first batch of exported technologies includes virtual training products suitable for ordinary military use, a small number of high-end neural implants, and a series of prosthetic medical standards and knowledge that Atlas will not be able to export to Europe in the future.
At the same time, Latvia will experimentally provide part of its network repair business to Europe, including infrastructure services.
In the end, when the draft of this cooperation project was negotiated, Schulz was surprised:
It seems like they are exporting low-tech products from Europe in exchange for high-tech products from a more backward country?
As soon as this idea appeared in Schultz's mind, he immediately thought of other things:
There are not many exports in this first batch, and most of them are services and software. This is because Latvia's industrial capabilities are obviously still very backward.
If they become stronger
Their European League might mean less to Latvia.
Suddenly, the idea that he had just put aside came back to his mind again: population factors are an important reason restricting the development of Latvia.
What else is limiting the development of Latvia? Or in other words, how can they bite Latveria's neck at the right time?
While thinking about these questions, Schultz concluded the conversation:
[Schultz: So. Although this is a little different from what I imagined at the beginning, I think this was a successful meeting. 】
[Shultz: Congratulations again to you and your country, His Majesty the King. 】
[Schultz: God bless you. 】
[Lille: So do we, thank you for your help. 】
呲——
Communication is closed.
Johnny appears at the window:
[Johnny: I have never spoken to such a powerful person face to face, but I think this guy is definitely not very convinced. 】
[Johnny: A group of primitive people shared the secret of prosthetic technology with them in the village. Now you are simply a big treasure. 】
[Johnny: I think he is going back to discuss with his colleagues how to use the shovel. 】
[Johnny: Why did you agree to give them so many good things? 】
"The perceptual kindness in individual human beings will be infinitely diluted in collective activities. In this level of communication, no goodwill is without reason."
Lear was riding a steel-framed war horse across the fields. Faced with Schultz's change of attitude, he didn't have much emotion and just followed Johnny's words and communicated normally.
"But no matter what, the materials provided by the European Union have been of great help. Just looking at the results, they are indeed good allies."
[Johnny: If anyone else said this to me, I would call him a fool, but you have a point. Thinking about taking all the benefits in your mouth and not leaking any to others may be really an asshole behavior. 】
"Really not very smart."
After the words fell, the war horse stopped moving, and Lille looked at the floating fortress parked in the mountains.
This scarred fortress does not need to be suspended in the sky all the time, but the communication array on it is very useful. With a small amount of communication base station amplification, the signal can cover the other three countries that have been occupied.
In addition to land and potential labor force, Hydra's military base is also a very valuable thing.
