Chapter 469: The Future of Iron Islands (Part 2)

"Chee-" Igor couldn't hold back , provokes Asha's glare.

Whatever the outcome of tonight's conversation, at least he's looking for some diversion to get there - the story is really good, and I don't know how much time Asha took to conceive and polish it. In order to get out of the current predicament, people really have infinite subjective initiative in using their imaginations. Igor almost forgot the last time oneself laughed like this. Just because she gave oneself a great performance, Igor decided not to chase her away.

"You don't believe it?" Igor was laughing, but the woman sitting across from him looked down. Asha put down her raised legs and sat up straight in the chair: "Do you also think I'm just a girl, and I don't have the guts or the ability to do this kind of major event? I thought Lord Commander was a broad-minded and eclectic person, It looks like I got you wrong now!"

"Cough, sorry."

Igor smiled and apologized, he really wanted to get serious, but couldn't. Anyway, I remind myself in my mind that oneself is a transmigrator from the modern world, and I am ready to support a queen, and I should not engage in sexism... But if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, the first feeling of subconsciously is that there is no way to rely on a few bright and beautiful slogans just turned around. As a female streamer, half of Asha's prestige and influence comes from her bloodline and surname, and the other half is earned by her oneself through actions - but it is also her father who first gave her the opportunity to express. In this strict male-dominated world, it is extremely difficult for a child to become a lord's father, and it is even more difficult to replace it with a daughter.

Asha said she was going to push her father to step down through a coup to become oneself lord of the Iron Islands. This story is even more outrageous than Igor's "I am an adventurer from China".

Thinking of this, Igor's thoughts moved, but he stopped the music.

Of course, he obviously forgot: the story that oneself came from the other side of the sunset sea is false, but the fact that a transmigrator came from another world is more mysterious than the story made up. Who would have thought that oneself would be the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch in four or five years when he was sent to Castle Black in chains?
When Asha is the lord of the Iron Islands, it is extremely difficult, but it is not completely impossible to achieve. Oneself is only affected by the inherent concept and prejudice, and it is not believed at the first hearing.

"Then ask Miss Asha to tell me, what was your detailed plan?"

"hmph, you think I've lived for twenty years, just playing Daggers, tomahawks and men?" Asha said in a gritted tone: "Don't be the Ironmen who are all mindless robbers and idiots who think with their lower bodies, my friends and like-minded people in the archipelago are far more than you can imagine. More! scholar Roderick Halo, Chief Baelor Blackteth, and the Gublers, the Mei Lin Family...and many captains and chiefs who lost their loved ones in my father's first rebellion. Each The family secretly hides three or five warriors and does not send them to the North battlefield. Together, they can make up a considerable elite, and then I, the heir of House Greyjoy, will personally respond to it, and mix in the weak defense Pyke with no difficulty. Father uniform, forcing him to put on black clothed to make way for me - before Abba's supporter got the news to get rid of northerner from the battlefield Before returning to the Iron Islands, I had tied him to the Wall, and recalled those who were loyal to me, jailed Keep the archipelago under control and prepare for counterattacks!"

(Your sister, why is everyone planning to throw trouble to Night's Watch?)
Igor snarled in dissatisfaction, this I can't really laugh anymore. Resisting the urge to roll his eyes and thinking carefully, he had to admit: this plan is only feasible in theory, and oneself just doesn't believe it intuitively, because he has not deeply understood the faction composition within the Iron Islands. Compared with the strengths of all parties, he could not find any obvious loopholes in Asha's words.

"Okay, I tentatively believe you did have such a plan, but after taking control of the Iron Islands? How are you going to clean up the endgame of the North battlefield that has already been fought so hard?"

"With peace," Asha said, "I'll negotiate with Robb Stark that as long as he cedes me the dragon horn and the rocky coast, the Iron Islands will cease fighting with the North, and never again—"

"It's impossible." Igor finally had something to say, and immediately interrupted the woman: "Even if you succeed in gaining dominion over the Iron Islands through a coup d'etat, you must also deal with the internal worries of your father's supporters' counterattack and the external troubles of the war with North. These two threats. You are the one who should be in a rush to make peace. How could North cede land and reach an agreement with you?"

"Because the land that North swept away is still North's." Asha raised her head. "The conditions I negotiated for Robb were - I respected him as King in the North, and he recognized me as Duchess of the Iron Islands. Then I would bow to him and bring the Iron Islands under his rule. , become part of his Northern United Kingdom. If he is as prestigious and well-connected as the legend, most of the Riverlands and Vale can also leave Iron Throne and pay their allegiance to him. If all goes well, then this new Northern Kingdom will be born as soon as it is born. Will have more than half of the land of Seven Kingdoms, the most adept army and the most powerful fleet. Anyone who knows the world will be powerless to force him to change his decision!"

Igor raised his eyebrows in surprise, just thinking He blurted out a sentence of nonsense, but immediately realized that what was wrong was actually oneself: Westeros is not a celestial dynasty. House Stark was already king, and was captured by the power of Aegon the Conqueror and was forced to become a vassal - and now Iron Throne has no dragon to maintain its deterrence, and North has repeatedly fought for Stannis without getting any benefits, accidentally connecting The family was almost taken away, and the top and bottom were already dissatisfied...

In this case, it is completely reasonable to separate from Iron Throne's independence and self-government, and it does not conflict with Robb Stark's integrity at all - if Asha He really put forward the constructive opinion of "Northern Kingdom", and voluntarily called himself a minister to facilitate the advancement of this plan... Who can resist this temptation?
Nobody!
The Three Kingdoms in the North are neutral and only control the Crownlands and Stormlands. Stannis, who has verbal support from the Westerlands, is completely powerless to convince the Reach to destroy the Golden Group, and the little Aegon who has no dragons and loses in a row is also difficult to destroy the Stannis who can conquer and fight well. . If Daenerys does not appear, Westeros may be split into three or even four parts north, middle, south, and it will be strong and stable for a long time...

And no matter how you count it, Robb Stark is the king. The Northern Kingdom will be the strongest of these three or four forces!
Looking at Igor's expression, Asha realized that oneself finally shocked him, and he struck while the iron was hot, and continued brainwashing: "Although the sea dragon horn has few resources, it has dense high-quality pine forests, which are excellent raw materials for shipbuilding; The rocky coast has fertile black lands that no one dares to cultivate because they were plundered by the Ironmen in the last ages. These two lands, to the North, are only sparsely populated and dispensable spare areas, to the Iron Islands It is said that it is a treasure house and granary of great value! With them, Ironmen no longer need to loot, they can be self-sufficient by building, selling and fishing, and farming, and for North, the Ironmen who settle in this land are also The best hostages - in case the archipelago changes again one day, House Stark only needs to send army to recover these two lands to deal a heavy blow to Iron Island, even without a ship!"

"No Wrong, Kraken's fickle name has spread all over the Seven Kingdoms, and Robb will still doubt my sincerity. So, I will also include oneself as part of the deal - an unmarried, good-looking, young and healthy Iron Islands girl Sir! With House Stark's rumored integrity, Robb probably won't divorce his wife and remarry or accept my offer to be his lover, but it doesn't matter, I can accept the marriage he arranged for me...I even considered the candidate. Now: Galbart Glover, the current patriarch of the Glover family, isn't married yet. Stark dedicates a piece of his family's territory to the Iron Islands, and then giving him a wife is not bad for him!"

…

After a moment of silence, Igor came to his senses.

"I have to admit, this plan is attractive enough to anyone in North. If I were Robb, I would definitely accept it." Igor barely found a loophole in Asha's plan: "But the problem is So, you carefully planned a coup to bring oneself's father down and oneself to be in power, just to bow down to House Stark, and even marry oneself into North? Iron Island residents will follow a Kneelers who bowed to King in the North, Accept a North noble's wife to rule them? Also, with your big operation, oneself didn't get much benefit but fat North, what are you trying to do?"

"Inside Iron Islands, I have my own way. , I don't need you to worry about it. As for what to do... Do you think it's normal for everyone in the world to be greedy for power and status, and to think about oneself selfishly in everything? I simply don't care about Lady Iron Island, Pyke City Lord, Ironmen's Glory, that kind of shit, all I want is to get my people out of the muddleheaded robber life, to feed them, clothe them, live in peace, and never have to ride a topless longboat against the wind Running all over the world in the rain, and licking blood with the head of a knife can fill my stomach! As long as I can achieve this goal, the whole world will think that I am a weak and deceiving coward, a whore who can ride as much as possible, and a bastard who has ruined his ancestors. I don't regret it either!"

＊＊＊

Igor stared at Asha for a while, almost reaching out and clapping.

Wonderful performance, he now fully understands the other party's whole idea of cheating - this is the third stage of progressive and in-depth step by step:
1st Step, first remove oneself and father and Other Ironmen's relationships show that looting and invading North is helpless, not what she wants - I'm not an enemy;

Second Step, in a seemingly unintentional way, tells Igor "I am in Iron Islands also have friends and influence", not useless - I am useful;

Third Step, just like Igor made oneself a "comrade leather" in front of Daenerys to gain trust- Throw out a grand and noble goal, tell him that oneself is actually a good young man with ideals and aspirations, in order to win trust and closeness from the subconscious level.

This set of operations speaking of which is simple, but can be executed so smoothly and clearly without any intentional traces, even for Igor to do it, it takes a lot of preparation. But once it's done, the effect is quite obvious: with so many layers of foreshadowing, no matter what Asha asks next, it's hard for Igor to refuse.

He just wanted to see what kind of flowers Asha could spit out of his mouth, but after chatting for a moment, he was almost moved. The packaging is advertised as oneself. The most powerful advantage of this trick is that the cost is extremely low, and it is easy to impress a specific group of people. And others want to overthrow your role modeling of oneself, but they have to really find evidence that your words and deeds are inconsistent or even relative. Otherwise, if you say that you are hypocritical and that you are acting, it will fall in the eyes of bystanders. That is, the heart is dirty, and the belly of a gentleman is treated with the heart of a villain.

Igor doesn't really care about the lives of those stinky and hard Ironmen, but he can't say this out of a slap in the face, because he's setting oneself up just like Daenerys - trying to break the wheel for the betterment of all Human beings with lofty ideals.

He also snort disdainfully to Asha's statement that "I don't care about personal honor and disgrace, I just want the happiness of the people of oneself", but after a little reflection, he really couldn't find what Asha did that was not in line with people. The evil thing that was set up, impossible tore off his face and said bluntly, "I don't believe it, I think you are a female pirate chief"...

I was just looking for a pastime, who wants to do it In the end, Asha really hit the hole.

What's next?
A skilled flicker, it's easy to counter flicker, Igor was only silent for a moment, and then he had an idea.

He laughed, put down his arms on the armrests of the chair, sat upright, looked completely persuaded, and asked the question he had already guessed the answer: "Noble ideals, Miss Asha. . So, please, what can I do for your ideal of leading Iron Islands to a better tomorrow...?"
