A month quickly passed. It was the equivalent of twenty months in the game.
During this period, Li Dong launched a series of diplomatic operations. The overall purpose of the operations was always the same. He hoped to establish bilateral relations characterized by non-aggression and long-term peace with neighboring countries. He also wanted to strengthen bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and even to establish regional economic and trade organizations. Through this, he would be able to leverage other countries' strengths to make up for his country's weaknesses and bring about economic growth.
It just so happened that the Kingdom of Bregslo was surrounded by many small countries whose military power was far weaker. Li Dong believed that his invitation to strengthen economic and trade cooperation would receive a positive response. Instead:
"I'm sorry, there is no need to strengthen economic and trade cooperation between our two countries."
