Chapter 350 Wind and Rain

The dispute between the gangsters was temporarily subsided under the intervention of the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce.

Workers with bad conduct are forced to terminate their employment contracts, and workers who really have difficulties will get help from the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce to get rid of their loan contracts, but they need to work for the Chamber of Commerce for 30 years to pay off their debts.

Regarding this, the workers who owed money expressed their willingness to work for the chamber of commerce. After all, it was the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce who rescued them when they were desperate.

Being sheltered, they will naturally have to pay their own labor. This is the most genuine thought in their hearts.

Rather, this can completely arouse their gratitude.

Working for thirty years means that the next chamber of commerce will solve their unemployment problem for them.

It makes many workers feel very regretful. Why is it not me who owes money?

But this kind of thing can only be thought about. Not everyone who owes money is so lucky to have a backer to support, and most of them have disappeared.

In this way, the work on the construction site has resumed normal operation, and the gangsters who have no reason to come here to make trouble naturally dare not approach here again. The ninjas of the ghost country still put a lot of pressure on them. Without a suitable reason to interfere, they could only honestly lurk in the dark and wait for the opportunity.

"Miss Yiji gave this to you?"

Kiki saw the contents of the proposal, although he knew most of the words, but they were coherent, so Kiki was at a loss.

"It seems to be a popular slogan among the workers and farmers in the ghost country

"...Well, I always feel troublesome."

Kiki folded his hands in front of his chest, looking like he didn't quite understand.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Anyway, for us workers who live at the bottom, there is no harm, is there?"

Keech asked.

"That's right. But I still find it strange that businessmen are not profitable, even the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce with a good reputation. Without benefits, businessmen will not invest."

This is also where Dazna has been troubled.

He didn't understand that he, or the workers and farmers, had any qualifications to be wooed by a giant chamber of commerce like the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.

Bridge-building expert? It's just that he is well-known in the land of waves. In front of a commercial group of the size of the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce, his title of expert is of no use.

Similarly, most of the workers and peasants with extremely low educational level can just have enough food and clothing. How can they have the conditions to create more wealth?

Dazner even felt that there were traps everywhere in this proposal.

But after carefully checking the contents inside several times, they didn't notice the so-called trap.

Rather than being worried, it is better to say that I feel novelty and confusion.

Improving the lives of workers and farmers, or liberating the so-called productivity, what benefits can businessmen gain?

Arranging jobs, or even reissuing living supplies, no matter how you look at it, the businessman loses money.

So-called charities...Dazner doesn't believe in such a thing.

Businessmen invest because it is profitable.

The same is true for the International Workers-Ministry Cooperative.

Because it is profitable, the Aster Flower Merchant Association of the Ghost Country formulated this proposal.

This is where Dazna is most confused.

It's not that Darzna belittles his abilities because they're too weak.

Weak enough to be valued by no one.

This is what they have always believed to be true.

Workers will always be workers, farmers will always be farmers, and the lineage of the superior will continue forever.

This is the one-stop system in the ninja world.

It is also a system recognized by various classes.

Breaking the balance, will the dignitaries of the Kingdom of Waves remain indifferent?

Dazner couldn't imagine it anymore.

Dazner's worry, Keech didn't know.

Compared to Dazner, he sees farther things, all he sees is work and a better life.

The joy on his face could no longer be restrained.

Although he was not so determined, Keech yearned for a higher quality of life and changed the status quo of his family.

The kindness Yiji gave to them also gave him unconditional trust.

Such a kind businessman will not deceive them.

Because it is an opportunity to escape poverty.

I missed it, and I may not have it in the future.

"You worry too much, Dazna. Although I don't know why Miss Ichiji did this, as long as she is good to us, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this country is already so bad, maybe Miss Ichiji is the savior of this country."

Kitch said so.

Dazner glanced at Keech. Although his attitude was a little fanatical, it was not unreasonable.

"Then I will talk to the rest of you tomorrow, but don't have too many expectations, because once this International Workers-Ministry Cooperative is established, the funds consumed every year will be an astronomical figure."

Although Dazner also supported it in his heart, he also showed a different attitude of worry.

There are so many unemployed workers and farmers in the Kingdom of Waves. Once they become unprofitable, will the Aster Flower Merchant Association really help them to the end?

Is this International Workers-Minist Cooperative a playful organization thought up on the spur of the moment, or...

Dazner shook his head, but he couldn't understand what the purpose of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce was.

But the gathering of more workers and peasants will definitely attract the attention of daimyo and nobles.

"International workers' cooperative?"

Although it is not a great event, Daimyo of Fire Nation, who pays close attention to the movement of Nation of Waves, has obtained the recent events of Nation of Nation of Waves as soon as possible through secret channels.

Holding the information in his hand, the Fire Nation daimyo called several important ministers to discuss together.

The subject of the discussion is the International Workers-Ministry Cooperative, which was recently established in the Land of Waves under the leadership of the behind the scenes of the Land of Demons.

An organization that has never appeared on the stage of ninja history.

Members are mainly proletarian workers and peasants.

Such a funny organization made the atmosphere in the meeting room very weird.

An important minister of the Fire Nation couldn't help but sneered.

"It's making trouble. What the Kingdom of Ghosts wants is to establish such a ridiculous organization in the territory of the Kingdom of Waves? If their top management becomes comedians, they will have a bright future."

The words of this important minister caused the unanimous nod of the other important ministers.

Workers and farmers?

A group of vulnerable groups living at the bottom, who can be easily suppressed by dispatching a ninja army at will. How profitable is it to attract such a guy?

Even after reading the specific implementation goals in it, it seems that they want to send money to these workers and farmers in disguise... This made the officials of the Kingdom of Fire agree that the top management of the Kingdom of Ghosts have collectively lost their minds?

It's a shame not to be a comedian.

Only the daimyo of Fire Nation didn't have that relaxed smile on his face. He covered half of his face with a fan, his eyes narrowed, revealing a bright light, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency Daming?"

"No, it's nothing, I just feel strange. Judging from what the kingdom of ghosts has done in the past, this is by no means aimless."

The fire country daimyo expressed his point of view.

"Damyo, are you worrying too much?"

"I don't think I'm worrying too much. In the past, every move in the Kingdom of Ghosts has a deep meaning, instead of just randomly placing pieces on the chessboard. If it were in the past, I really don't think it would be useful to win over workers and peasants, but the current civil strife in the Land of Rain is caused by these guys. With powerful ninja tools in their hands, they have begun to provoke the dignitaries of the Land of Rain. Isn't this a dangerous signal?"

The Fire Nation daimyo's expression became grim.

The important ministers of the Nation of Fire also fell silent, frowning and thinking.

"The reason why I joined forces with the other four major powers to propose an agreement to the ghost country not to sell arms to small countries is to prevent the bottom layer from becoming dissatisfied with the status quo after they have sufficient arms. Although we can mobilize ninjas to suppress them, the population base of workers and farmers is very large. If they are given sufficient arms and riots, it will be a problem."

"Are you taking them too seriously?"

In the existing history of the ninja world, there has never been a large-scale attack from the bottom against the powerful.

Like the country of rain, it can only be regarded as a partial contradiction, and it cannot be extended to the whole ninja world.

As long as the five major powers remain stable, the so-called resistance at the bottom is just a joke.

An army organized by 10,000 people can send 100 Chunin-level ninjas to slaughter at will.

But that is based on the premise that there is no strong armed force.

The Fire Nation daimyo walked to the side of the conference room, walked back to the cushion and sat down, playing with a weapon in his handthe Kunai Gun.

"This thing is too convenient, there is no threshold for use, even if it is held by a child of a few years old, it can quickly become an excellent killing tool. Although it is not as powerful as a ninja, once it is popularized, it is enough to cause riots in the ninja world. It will not be too easy to suppress it with a ninja. The ninja village in a small country may even be destroyed."

After all, besides the Kunai Gun, there is also the same convenient flying ninja, which can drop explosive ninjas in the air for air strikes.

This also does not require too high a threshold, as long as it is a healthy and powerful young man, it can be controlled, not only ninjas can control it.

Seeing that the name of the Fire Nation is so determined, the important officials of the Fire Nation also suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

They are more worried about the Land of Waves than the Land of Rain.

Because it is different from the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Ghosts has already landed in the Kingdom of Waves. The Kingdom of Ghosts possesses a military force that is dreaded by the great powers. This is the key.

"Then, how about instructing Daimyo of the land of waves to pay back the debt and let the people of the land of ghosts leave?"

"No. Now everyone knows that the daimyo of the Land of Waves has no money. If the Kingdom of Ghosts makes a high-profile publicity after paying back the money, it will directly put the situation in the Kingdom of Waves in a passive position. We, the Land of Fire, have no suitable excuse to suppress it by force."

Because if it is suppressed by force, the kingdom of ghosts can also take the same countermeasures. At that time, it will evolve into a war between the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of fire.

As for the outcome of the war, although the important ministers of the Fire Nation were unwilling to admit it, they still held a very pessimistic attitude.

Chiba Shiraishi wiped out thousands of sand ninjas with a single forbidden technique. He can summon a strange humanoid psychic beast, and defeated Jiraiya, one of the Sannin who learned the art of immortality.

Uchiha Ruri, who holds the Uchiha clan's taboo pupil technique Kaleidoscope Sharingan, Kazekage, one of the Five Kages, and thousands of sieges, all suffered a disastrous defeat. The strength is unfathomable.

Hyuga Ayane, the ninja of the Hyuga clan who assisted Iwakage in the third Ninja World War and suppressed the fourth Raikage head-on. Now the strength is unknown, but the strength is at least the Five Kages.

As long as the army of the ghost country is still controlled by these three people, then going to war with the ghost country head-on is definitely the best choice.

Not to mention, the Konoha Uchiha clan was exterminated, and Konoha cut off his own arm. If a war breaks out between the Fire Country and the Ghost Country, the chances of Konoha winning the war are very slim.

The most likely outcome is a fiasco like the Kingdom of the Winds!

If you really want to start a war with the ghost country, you must at least unite with another big country to put pressure on the ghost country.

With the power of the country of fire, it is more than enough to deal with the country of ghosts, but not enough.

Even if the Kingdom of Fire still occupies the title of the largest ninja country on the surface.

That was thanks to the Third Ninja World War. On a comprehensive level, Konoha was the only winner. But because of this, too much combat power was consumed.

The kingdom of ghosts passed through the third ninja world war with peaceful development, one ebbs and another, now is definitely not a good time to formally start a war with the Chinese government.

The fear of the daimyo of the country of fire, the important ministers of the country of fire naturally understand.

Konoha's continuous internal friction made them anxious, but unfortunately, they could not interfere with Konoha's internal government affairs.

Similarly, Konoha will not interfere with the meeting at the Daming Mansion.

Although both are important institutions within a country, there is not much in common between the two. In many cases, communication will be blocked.

This is the drawback of the one country one village system.

One country, one village, is a political and military institution that cannot be unified by the regime. Only under external pressure will it be temporarily unified. Such as war time.

"Then what is your Excellency going to do? If the Land of Waves turns into a civil war like the Land of Rain, things will be troublesome."

If the International Citizens' Cooperative Association really has some kind of local war will, then the purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts is likely to be to trigger a civil war within the Kingdom of Waves, just like the Kingdom of Rain.

In this way, the Kingdom of Ghosts will not be able to fish in troubled waters in the Kingdom of Waves, or even interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Waves. If the Kingdom of Waves leads to the Kingdom of Ghosts, then for the Kingdom of Fire, it will be no less than putting a bomb that may be detonated at any time at the door of their dignitaries.

The Land of Waves is the outpost of the Land of Fire, and no mistakes are allowed.

People from other countries are not allowed to interfere.

"Destroy this so-called worker-minister cooperative. Send a letter to the Merchants Alliance on the isolated island and ask them to act as soon as possible."

"It's just that if you do this, it will take time to annex the merchant alliance of the isolated island..."

"No way, I have time to deal with these people slowly in the future. Even if the merchant alliance that supports the isolated island is to gain a foothold in the Kingdom of Waves, the power of the Kingdom of Ghosts must be removed from the territory of the Kingdom of Waves!"

In the eyes of the fire country daimyo, the merchant alliance on the isolated island is basically zero threat, and they can be dealt with at any time.

But at this time, the wealth of the merchant alliance annexing the isolated island will only form a situation where the snipe and the clam will fight and the ghost country will benefit.

"We understand. We will use the relationship to communicate with the other side. No one will be caught."

"Not only that, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must also put pressure on it. The country of ghosts must sign an agreement not to sell arms to small countries as soon as possible. The country of rain..."

Boom boom!

Knocking on the door interrupted the fire country daimyo's conversation.

The Fire Nation daimyo closed his fan with a snap, squinting his eyes towards the door, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"Come in."

"yes."

A ninja pushed open the door, holding a scroll tightly in his hand, and knelt down on one knee in front of the Fire Nation Daimyo and others.

"My lord, an urgent message from the Land of Rain."

"The Land of Rain?"

The fire country daimyo narrowed his eyes.

The rest of the important ministers also showed doubts.

"Submit it."

The fire country daimyo stopped guessing, and directly ordered the ninja to say.

The ninja stepped forward respectfully, put down the scroll, and then exited the conference room.

"Did something happen in the Kingdom of Rain?"

The loyal ministers began to speculate.

"Just look at it and you'll know. Guessing now won't help. Anyway, I still believe in Danzo's ability."

The fire country daimyo said this while unrolling the scroll.

After untying the scroll, the fire country daimyo quickly glanced at the above content, his face silent.

It seemed that Daimyo of the Land of Fire looked wrong, and some unimaginable changes might have happened. An important minister asked, "Your Excellency, what happened to the Land of Rain?"

The fire country daimyo rolled up the scroll and threw it aside casually. After a long time, he sighed and said: "The worst has happened. An aviation warship and two frigates from the ghost country have crossed the river country of the river country and entered the territory of the rain country."

With the rise of the ghost country, the military organization of the ghost country is not as secretive as in the past, and many of the industrialized weapons of the sky country are displayed on the bright side.

Sky Country used to have the ability to manufacture warships, Kunai guns and flying ninja tools, which are also the technology of Sky Country.

After these technologies were obtained by the Oni Ninja, both the Kunai Gun and the flying ninja have been improved in technology, and their performance is even better.

Battleships have also become the maritime combat weapons of the Oni Country military.

Before the Kingdom of Ghosts secretly visited Konoha Ninja Village, they sent a warship to the port of the Nation of Fire to anchor, demonstrating their military strength in a high-profile manner.

"What?"

This news made the faces of the important officials of the Fire Kingdom change dramatically.

Not only the country of waves, but also the country of rain and the country of ghosts have begun to interfere?

"Although it is unbelievable, intelligence cannot be wrong."

"The purpose of the ghost kingdom is..."

"Using the slogan of peace in the ninja world, mediate the war in the Land of Rain, and at the same time call on the civil war in the Land of Rain to be handled by itself, and the forces of other countries must not interfere."

Having said that, the daimyo of Fire Nation's face completely darkened.

"I didn't expect to move so fast. I thought it would take a while before you sent troops."

The frontline battlefield of the Land of Rain, which was occupied by gunpowder smoke a while ago, has now been reduced to the camp of Yuyin Village.

As the leader of Yuyin Village, Nagato personally received the reinforcements from the ghost country.

The other party took off the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, appeared in front of Nagato dressed as a miko, and shook hands with him friendly.

"Master Shiraishi attaches great importance to this matter. The civil war in the Land of Rain is now related to the layout of the Land of Waves. Naturally, it will not delay sending troops until next year. Missing the opportunity will only make the Kingdom of Ghosts fall into the quagmire of war. This is something neither of us wants to see."

The witch said with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

"I have really considered everything."

"So, please also ask Mr. Payne to share the pressure for us at that time. Warships are dispatched, deterrence is greater than combat, and it only disturbs the enemy's sight. We will not directly interfere with the affairs of the Kingdom of Rain, and we do not want to have a full-scale conflict with a big country."

"Of course, I appeared here for this reason. This is something I agreed with Chiba Shiraishi, and I will not let the eyes of the big country focus on the ghost country."

Let the Rain Country properly attract the attention of major powers, and at the same time seek balanced development in the international community with ambiguous alliances.

This is the purpose of Nagato.

He hoped to use this war to gain respite for the country of rain after the war, instead of continuing the war and breaking the country of rain again.

Keep fighting against the great powers, the first to lose must be the Land of Rain.

It is precisely because of this that the assistance of the ghost country is necessary. But on the other hand, the Kingdom of Rain also needs to share the attention of the Kingdom of Ghosts to achieve a win-win situation for the time being.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the enemies of Ghost Country and Yuyin Village are still dominated by the Five Great Nations. This is the basis for cooperation.

"That's good. By the way, when I went out to collect information before, I happened to meet Ryoma, an oil girl in the root. He is Danzo's deputy. He can control many kinds of insects, and he is excellent in assassination and intelligence collection."

Miko will remind you.

"Is it the oil girl Ryoma? I will pay attention to it."

Nagato has taken his heart, the oily girl Ryoma is Danzo's deputy, and her ability should not be underestimated.

"If Mr. Payne doesn't have time, I can handle it instead. It just so happens that Gen Mo and I have a little personal grievance to deal with."

The witch smiled.

It's just that this kind of smile is a bit too fake in Nagato's view.

People wear masks on their faces, and no matter how you look at it, they appear to be insincere.

Nagato didn't know what was hidden under this fake smile, whether it was malice or kindness.
