Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer

Chapter 195 Bartello's Struggle

The renewed border negotiations ended without major conflict, and they eventually reached a rough agreement that deviated slightly from the original north-south dividing line of Treba.

The talks ended after the signing of a non-aggression pact and a temporary security guarantee agreement. Future border negotiations will be conducted by practical personnel in more detailed adjustments to finally determine the detailed border line. This will be carried out in Loajin, where peace is gradually returning.

"In the end, he was defeated by this move. Viscount Masfittin is also a capable person, but he seems to lack some flexibility. I originally thought that the Minister of Foreign Affairs would give him good support in this regard, but perhaps His Highness Klein made such a bold decision because he felt that he could not keep up with the pace."

Afterwards, Tullio explained the meeting to Bartello via telecom.

“I heard that too. From a standpoint, it was difficult to support either side, and I was undecided, so I didn’t get in touch with you. Sorry.”

"If I say these words where you can hear them, even if you can hear them, Your Highness the Magic Boxer won't care."

The clever Yekai might be pleased with Tulio's move, and Bartello could easily imagine it.

"After thinking about it, it's a bit of a pity. I should have attended the meeting in person. If it were me, I might be able to bring the magic boxer to the negotiating table and elicit his true thoughts."

The situation in Frigia is not optimistic. The business operations in the orc settlement area need to be reviewed, and the circulation monitoring and establishment of the monitoring organization in Nefs need to be adjusted. It is also necessary to deploy and transport personnel and materials to the Treba front.

Next is the governance plan for the new territory of Treba and the establishment of a security force required for emergency law and order. It is also necessary to formulate a humanitarian aid plan for the area that may fall into a state of desolation and a corresponding budget for the purchase of supplies.

In addition to daily work, these outstanding issues had to be dealt with. The king and other important officials were worried that if Bartolo left, business processing everywhere might come to a standstill, so they persuaded him to stay.

"Hmm? Is that enough? After all, what Holzlein needs most now is talent."

"It can't be just that. If it was him, he wouldn't have said his real purpose. Of course, Holzlein does need talent training now. He may have made some relevant suggestions, but if that's the case, he wouldn't have actively interfered in political decision-making, right?"

"Indeed, even taking into account what I have heard, I have not heard of him intervening in political matters himself."

Ye Kai often takes action to grasp clues to solve chaotic problems. Except when it comes to unreasonable situations involving human lives, he rarely promotes major policy changes. He may have only done something similar when the orc settlement called for improving the lives of orcs. It is a rare example that he can actively express his opinions on such a large scale as the country.

"Do you have any other plans?"

“It would be very disturbing to be asked about other things, but I think he might be planning something.”

"Because we are alike. If you say so, it is certainly true."

“Take it as a compliment.”

“On the other hand, he will definitely be upset about this.”

"Hmm...what does this mean?"

When Bartlo heard these words, he was a little scared, because some things can be scary when they are pointed out.

"In the future, Phrygia will certainly be troubled by the shortage of talent." Ye Kai was talking about the future of Phrygia. The trade volume of Phrygia, which directly borders Holzlein, will increase significantly.

For Phrygia, an important export will be Nefs. Conversely, they may actively import Monolicots or magical energy storage devices - magic batteries.

Furthermore, products from both countries that were previously hindered by distance will be revalued and the streets may become bustling with merchants and so-called "warehouse keepers".

When this happens, it is not just the circulation of goods that increases, but also the amount of administrative transactions that go along with the movement of people.

These include the processing of transactions related to import and export management, the entry and exit management of personnel, and the investigation, management and supervision of the problems arising from them. It can be said that no matter how many people there are, they are not enough.

"The prediction of the Magic Boxer-sama should be correct. I can see that future, too. Therefore, we must act now. If we do not build up sufficient reserves to prepare for a rainy day when economic development leads to an increase in population, then a slight climate instability and a reduction in production will be enough to plunge the country into turmoil. Although Holzlein has done a good job in this regard, Frigia is uneasy about food reserves. Even if it is ridiculed as solving an emergency problem, it doesn't matter. Infrastructure is urgently needed now."

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, he seems to have considered these issues. Once trade becomes active, the economies of both sides are active, and the relationship between the two countries deepens, then perhaps His Highness Klein will propose a personnel exchange program."

The idea is to learn logistics and management supervision skills from each other and look at problems from a different perspective.

"His Highness even said with a sly smile, 'We can have an extra helper.'"

"Thank you very much. If it's just this kind of help, it would be great. I'm happy to borrow it. Master Magic Boxer wants to promote development through the interaction between the two major Western countries. This makes me feel relieved."

"Well, what about Mr. Tullio?"

Fino noticed that the brewed tea was getting cold, so he asked, "I borrowed the intercom. They should be having a self-reflection meeting now, right? The two guys who were bullied by Ye Kai are together."

“That’s a really bad thing to say.”

“He was quite anxious. He didn’t know what to do.”

“There’s nothing you can do about it if you only hear what you need to know.”

“That’s right.”

He said with a smile. Although it sounded a bit critical, it was just what Cham (who was helpless after all) thought.

"Really? Mr. Ye Kai is so mean."

“Rebuked. Although I wish he would stop doing things halfway.”

“That’s his nature.”

“People grow up in hesitation!”

"I'm quite supportive of him."

"...Miss Cham, you are quite mean."

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

"But they cleverly seized the resources in the dense forest area."

Chamu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Kai, indicating surrender.

"Huh? Was I seen through?"

"It looks like an illusion to divert attention, but it's actually a method you might use."

"Yeah?"

"Hmm. I have little desire to see the forests of the north fall into the free hands of Phrygia."

"Eh? But ordinary humans can't do anything about that dense forest?"

"Not just humans." He pointed at Fino.

"But if we cooperate with the orcs, it's a different story. They can drive the beasts and cut down trees at the same time. If the situation is bad, they can even use fire to burn it."

"We can't let such a dense forest burn!"

"Humans will do the same. They might do it to obtain the resource called Nefs. Of course, the orcs will object and won't help. But as long as there is a possibility, I want to rule it out. I am such a coward."

"This is... too cowardly..."
