The Great War of Rhodesia

03. Advanced Plan

The day after Nata had a meeting with Joan in the Central City of the Central Region.

"It's great to see you again, Mr. Nata," said Joan as she sat at the table in front of Nata in the Central City Meeting Room.

"In this current state, it should be me who feels good to see you again. Because it means I need your help" Nata replied as she poured the drink into an empty glass in front of Joan.

"No need to hesitate, Mr. Nata," Joan replied, raising her glass which was already filled before taking a small sip.

"How's your son doing?" nata said again in pleasantries.

"Thank you, he has even started attending the emergency school established in Gala City with other children from Eblan region" Joan replied honestly.

"For that I can't take it. Because obviously a lot of people are working very hard to make that happen, and not me" Nata replied.

The Narva woman with her simple hair was laughing. "I know you will answer like that. But in any case, the Gala City and the Eblan region as a whole are not destroyed, I am grateful. What's more is now a work plan to alleviate the problem of hunger has begun to run," he said later

"Yes, thank God everything went according to plan" replied Nata who then sipped a drink in his glass

"What help can I give this time?" continued Joan with a straightforward question without further ado.

"Yes, for that." Nata put down his drinking glass. "Do you have an information network in the Augra and Joren regions?" continue later with questions.

"Yes, I have a pretty strong network in the territory of those two kingdoms. But it has been sleeping for the last 5 years since the kingdom of Urbar fell," Joan replied without rambling.

"Is it still possible to wake up that network again?" ask Nata.

"I think it's still possible. What does Mr Nata want with that information network?" Joan was beginning to wonder.

"For the Kingdom of Augra, is it possible that we can get information about the ins and outs of their palace?" ask Nata directly without further ado.

"I'm sorry? The Royal Palace of Augra?" Joan raised an eyebrow and raised her tone in surprise at Nata's request.

"true." The young man answered quickly.

"Sorry once again, but is it possible that you plan to attack the palace of the Kingdom of Augra, lord Nata?"

"Not attacked. We will only deliver a letter of submission for negotiations to the leader of the Kingdom of Augra personally," Nata replied correcting Joan's remarks.

Joan looked into Nata's eyes with a slight huff for a while before then exhaling a long breath. "You seriously turned out. I know the purpose of the plan. But isn't that too risky, Mr Nata?" said later. "Yes, unless you're very confident with whoever you're going to send."

"Yes, I am very confident and sure to be right with those I send later," replied Nata lightly.

"All right then. I'll work on it. But it will probably cost quite a bit. Because we have to bribe some side." Joan responded to Nata's request under several conditions.

"Regarding the cost, you can talk about it with Mr. Orland. I'll give him a report on this."

"Okay, I understand. Then for the Joren region?" Joan immediately connected him with another question.

"Yes, for that Joren I don't want any information. More about spreading information. Is that possible?" answer Nata later.

"You mean like spreading rumors?" Joan confirmed.

"Yes, less is more." Nata answered. "But this is more about spreading ideas to residents or important figures in areas adjacent to the Cleyra or Solidor region."

"Religion?" Joan seemed to have no idea what the young man meant.

"really. The idea that our territory is prosperous and advanced. And it will be profitable to cooperate with us," explained Nata later.

"And what is the purpose of all this? Could it cause chaos in their territory?" Joan still seems not to understand the purpose of Nata's plan.

"No. The original goal was for them to exert pressure on the kingdom. Because after this we will also submit negotiations to Joren's side. But if the royal side ignores their voice, then..."

"You intend to make them rebel and enter into being part of this royal territory willingly?" cut off Joan who begins to understand the purpose of the young man's plan.

"really so. Because we also need to open a path for trade to the western region. To the kingdom and the feudal territory behind the Joren region," Nata explained.

"So having a region that directly connects with the west will be much better than just relying on sea trade routes" he continued.

"I know you're excited about this. But don't push yourself too much" Nata replied as he raised his drinking glass again.

"You advise me with words that should be more appropriate to advise you yourself, Mr. Nata," said Joan trying to return Nata's words.

"Haha... You're correct. That was indeed Miss Luque's remark she always spoke to both of us."

And then the conversation between the two of them continued until lunch.

Meanwhile, at the bar where Luna works, Aksa is also holding a follow-up meeting on the development of the southern region with Dirk and some people who will later be positioned as responsible for economic problems in the Southern Region.

.

"Outside organising the rework of development in each region, we also have to start creating systems" Aksa said after a briefing earlier.

"System?" Dirk asked from the table closest to Aksa's standing.

In total there were 8 people including Aksa and Dirk in the meeting. They do not sit in a circle in front of a large table, because Aksa wants a meeting that is not formal.

Even Dirk brought his eldest son Herman who was 17 years old to attend the meeting.

They sat spread out at the tables in the still-closed bar. Staring towards Aksa who was standing in front of a large whiteboard.

"First we'll make Copration of Tani." Aksa wrote his words on the board with the chalk he held.

"What is Mr Aksa?" Dirk asked.

"We will lend either land or money to farmers who want to grow crops." Aksa started to explain.

"Then we will hold training on how to plant properly for those who take out such loans. As a guarantor of their harvest success.

"Thus we don't have to worry too much they can't repay their loan."

Some people were seen taking notes after hearing Aksa's explanation. But no one asked, which meant that they all understood the meaning of Aksa's words.

"After that we will also hold an auction market, or a harvest auction." Aksa is back writing on board.

"What else is that?" Dirk asked as he did not understand Aksa's words.

"Whether farmers, ranchers, or even fishermen, we will make facilities to find buyers." Aksa started his explanation.

"So they don't need a third party. And so food prices in the South will slowly decline, but farmers, ranchers, and fishermen will not be affected by the falling prices.

"So they can improve their quality of life and their productivity will increase slowly" Aksa concluded later.

It was heard that after some people talked and discussed about it quite excitedly and enthusiastically. Which makes Aksa quite happy to see it.

"In the future we will also begin to reach areas south of the Augra through the Azure free land" Aksa said then as he walked to the bartender's table to pick up his drink.

"Thus the Service Exchange Hall in the Southern Region will also start running because it has an offer to secure the traders.

"And when that day comes, then I will give you a seminar on Management and Marketing," concluded Aksa before then sip the drink.

"En marketing management?" Dirk represents the other asked.

"Obviously it is a way that our goods can sell out there" Aksa replied later.

"But not with the lottery method or selling CDs using shields. That's not. We're going to make a market trend. Dribbling public opinion on what we will sell. As with the help of famous people or things that have a good image in the eyes of the community.

"But then when the time comes," concluded Aksa who made the spy people in the place sparkle with enthusiasm and impatient to deal with it.
