Chapter 215: Chapter 215
Although scientists in Visalia such as Hamedas and Haredas sometimes take weather boats to blue seas and other places to use meteorological science to help people in need in order to earn research fees, they generally choose small towns or small islands, because no matter how large the scale is, it will easily cause unnecessary troubles and disputes. Hamedas was a good example last time.
Therefore, even though they knew that Alabasta was being eroded by the harm brought about by 'dancing fans', Hamedas and others did not have a good way to solve it.
Originally, the "dancing fans" matter had made the two of them feel extremely regretful, and at the same time, the two of them absolutely did not want to see this thousand-year-old country fall apart because of the "dancing fans".
After seeing the expressions of Hamedas and Haredas, Charles probably judged each other's inner emotions, and then Charles couldn't help but look at Robin. It seems that these three days were not in vain.
The three days in Alabasta were actually to pave the way for Hamedas and Haredas. At this time, when the time was almost ripe, Charles continued to say:
"Actually, if you want to help the people of this country solve the 'dancing fans', the easiest and most direct way is to talk to the king."
Hamedas is naturally aware of what Charles said, but neither he nor Haredas has diplomatic skills. Even if he meets the king, he lacks enough "convincing power".
So the ability of diplomacy and negotiation is very important, just like Laffitte in the Blackbeard Pirates is a very good diplomat.
In the original plot, the reason why Blackbeard can fill the vacancy of Qi Wuhai is actually largely due to Lafitte's excellent diplomatic ability. After all, a pirate who goes deep into Marin Vandor alone to negotiate with Sengoku and others, this ability is enough to explain many things.
"Well, I also really want to help the people of this country solve the 'dancing powder' problem. It is easy to solve the drought caused by the 'dancing powder', but it is also necessary to have the opportunity to meet the king and convince him. This is too difficult for the two of us."
Shire was waiting for what Hamedas said, and Shire answered immediately: "Hamedas, Robin and I can serve as 'intermediaries' to help you communicate with the king of Alabasta."
"Charles, what do you mean?"
"Yes. We can help you solve this matter. We are responsible for communication and persuading the king. You only need to solve the 'dancing fans'. What do you think?"
Hamedas and Haredas looked at each other, and both thought that what Charles said was indeed good, but when he was about to agree, Charles continued: "But there is something I must tell you before that."
Charles' plan did not intend to hide the truth from Hamedas and others, but chose to get straight to the point.
"Hameidas, you also know that we are looking for the historical text, and the royal family in Alabasta hides a historical text. I intend to use their historical text as a bargaining chip condition.
This is the compensation I need. If you feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable, I will delete this condition.
But don't worry, I will still help you negotiate with the royal family to resolve the 'dancing powder' matter. "
After listening to Shire's words, both Hamedas and Haredas fell into deep thought, and they finally understood what Shire meant. Shire planned to use Visalia's meteorological technology power as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the royal family.
Shire wants to take this opportunity to use their power to obtain the text of Alabasta's history. This is a naked "benefit transaction", which goes against the original intention of Hamedas and others to help Alabasta, as well as their guilt over the abuse of "dancing fans" and their desire to redeem and atone.
"Charles, why did you say it? In fact, if you didn't take the initiative to say it, neither of us would have any idea."
Hamedas also looked at Charles suspiciously. In fact, Charles could have done this in private behind their backs, and there was no need to reveal it.
Charles shook his head: "No, I trust everyone here, so I don't want to hide anything from my partners, and I also understand that my actions are contrary to your original intention, so I have to make this matter even more clear."
What Ciel revealed at this time was a kind of sincerity and trust, which instead made Hamedas and Haredas fall into silence. In fact, the two also understood Ciel’s thoughts. Ciel’s approach for the historical text was not wrong. On the contrary, Ciel’s approach was more real. After all, not everyone is a saint, let alone use his own morality to restrain others.
After a while, both Hamedas and Haredas sighed.
"I understand. I will leave this matter to you. The two of us only want to help this country solve the problem of 'dancing fans'. As for other aspects, we will not interfere."
Although Hamedas didn't express his approval or disapproval in his face, both Shire and Robin could hear the subtext of the other party, and they had already acquiesced to Shire's approach.
Charles stood up and nodded to the two of them: "Thank you very much for your understanding. Let us handle this matter."
After leaving the room, Robin looked at Charles' back and suddenly smiled and said, "I thought you would do it in private?"
To be honest, when Shire confessed to Hamedas and the two, Robin thought they would refuse, but he did not expect that Hamedas and Haredas agreed in the end.
"I think if it were you, you wouldn't want to be concealed by your companions, would you?" Charles turned his head and looked into Robin's eyes seriously.
In fact, no matter who it is, they don't want their trusted partner to be a guy who has one thing on the surface and another thing behind the scenes.Even if this did not rise to the level of 'betrayal', it was enough to create a gap between the partners.
Robin just smiled and didn't answer what Charles said, and Charles didn't continue to dwell on this topic too much, but asked another thing:
"Is there no movement from Crocodile?"
Robin shook his head, and then showed a thoughtful expression: "I guess Crocodile is probably not in Alabasta, otherwise, no matter how well we hide our whereabouts, there shouldn't be any movement in his base camp until now."
Even though he has left the Baroque Work Club, Robin, who used to be the vice president of the Baroque Work Club, still has a lot of secrets about the Baroque Work Club. Based on the intelligence and investigations of the past few days, Robin came to such a conclusion.
"Since this is the case, then we have to seize this gap"
