Principality of Qua-Toyne, Ministry of Foreign Affairs

"Gentlemen, the delegation to Argentina is almost ready, currently Argentina says it wants to establish diplomatic ties, but until now we don't know if they will be like the Kingdom of Louria and discriminate against demihumans, for this I have selected specialists from the main ministries. Due to That is why I grant them the highest authority so that trade with Argentina becomes the strength of our nation."

"Argentina will provide the transport that will be used for the trip, they will leave in the morning in 3 days, make sure you have everything ready by then. Upon arrival in the city of Rio Grande, you will stay in a hotel, there you will spend another 2 days to learn about their culture, their customs and their rules, so that their stay is not too difficult. After those 2 days we will be able to travel around the city."

Maihark port, 3 days later

"We must make sure that we meet the objectives that we have been given, do you understand?"

They all nodded in response.

One of those objectives was to measure the level of technology in Argentina and if it was possible for them to export that technology to Qua-Toyne, also to measure their military power in order to see if they were a threat. The least they needed now was another hostile country and even more because they had no defense against that iron dragon, they were already very busy with the situation with the Kingdom of Louria that they did not stop strengthening and increasing their military forces, a war it was imminent and against Louria they had no chance.

"Hey, did anyone else find the schedules strange regarding the trip to Argentina and about the time in which we will be on the way to the capital?" A young man with long black hair asked.

"No Ainz, I also noticed it must be a mistake in the document"

Just then an Argentine diplomat arrives.

"Good afternoon, my name is Agustín Dayan, I will accompany you on your diplomatic mission"

"For our trip to Argentina we have decided to prepare a cruise, please follow me," he added, only to hear the complaints from diplomats about how they hated boat trips.

Although it only takes a few moments for them to be amazed by all the comforts of the modern world, surprised by any trivial detail.

"Well, this way we can demonstrate our power without running the risk of appearing hostile."

Agustin was satisfied; however he had another problem.

"However, the meeting cannot be held in the capital, not only because of the risk of the delegation being hurt by the disturbances, but also because it would make us look weaker by showing that instability. Instead, we will do the meeting in Rio Grande, Due to the low population in Patagonia, the disturbances were easier to put under control."

Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Cristobal was in a completely hopeless situation.

In the first place, the inflation of the Argentine currency became zero because the dollar no longer existed... The problem is that thanks to that the value of the Argentine peso became literally zero because the dollar reserves were useless, so the Argentine peso has nothing to back it up with.

The only thing that could support the value of the currency at this time would be the confidence of the population, just like the dollar or cryptocurrencies do... But make no mistake, the peso has never enjoyed any confidence during the last twenty years.

There are few options, one would be to return to the gold standard, however there are only a little more than 60 tons, less reserves than Venezuela.

Another would be to support the currency with oil and natural gas reserves, being a scarce and very important resource for the country to be in a medieval world, without a doubt the value of these would be exaggeratedly large. However, at this time it is impossible to exploit the Vaca Muerta deposits due to lack of infrastructure and chaos.

Not only that was the only problem with the oil value, the other problem is about the value that the currency would have for this new world, since they are likely to use precious metals as currency and, not only would it be difficult to get them to accept the paper currency, but they would also refuse to accept it since it is backed by something that would have no value for them.

"It seems that I have no choice but to return to the gold standard, however for that we must embark on this new world to achieve it... either through trade or war."

The president was reviewing the reports on the visit in Qua-Toyne and everything that was known about them thanks to the meeting with the delegation in Rio Grande.

"Lands blessed by the goddess of the lands that never have bad harvests or plagues?" Cristobal was somewhat confused upon reading that.

"Unfortunately we do not need large amounts of food, local production is enough." Thinking about the different agricultural products listed in the native principality.

"However they don't produce things like coffee, tea, sugar or cotton... If we could increase the production of those products and export them to the mainland, obtaining monopoly rights, we could get a good amount of gold and silver."

The president met with his agriculture minister, Eugenio Basterra, to discuss this plan.

"Sir, our production of tea can barely maintain our internal consumption and it will take time to increase production, it is the same case with cotton, in the case of coffee only a family business in the whole country produces it in the yungas of Salta on which not even by a miracle could satisfy the internal demand. Sugar is possible to export in large quantities, but the rest is out of our possibilities at the moment."

Listening to his minister, the president's hopes were almost shattered, however the fact that they could export sugar was a great lifesaver.

"If I remember my history classes, sugar was very valuable during the Middle Ages until today. We can inflate prices when exporting and get the money."

"However, Mr. President, we must do something about the shortage of coffee, it is one of the most important beverages of humanity and if we do not do something the situation will get worse." The minister said.

"Right, what do you propose?"

"Study the soil of Qua-Tyne and find out if it is suitable for planting coffee, tea and cotton. Then buy the land and plant everything we need and everything valuable that we can sell or use; Cocoa, spices, rubber, opioids. If that country can produce a couple of those and we get a monopoly on production we'll be filthy rich." The minister proposed.

"D-Did you say Opioids?"

"What do you think the painkillers contain? In fact, I'm sure that after things calm down we're going to need a lot of medication because of the number of people injured in the protests."

"I understand..." The president takes a moment to think about this. "In return we build the infrastructure we both need to export and import from them... It's such a one-sided deal, it feels like when the Spanish traded mirrors for gold to the natives." Cristobal reflected.

"It is because it is, it is necessary so that the country does not dissolve under its own weight."

"Speaking of doing what is necessary, I am going to implement a bonus system so that workers can exchange it for food. I hope you tell the farmers so they don't get alarmed and do something stupid like blocking the arrival of food."

"But sir! Doing that is the same as asking them to give away their crops for free!" The minister did not agree with that.

"Without infrastructure there will be no gold and without gold our currency is worthless, if currency is worthless farmers will not sell their food and without food workers will not build infrastructure. I hope you understand that."

"... Yes sir." The minister then left.

Rio Grande streets.

Ainz, one of the diplomats from the Qua-Toyne delegation, was surprised by everything in the city; The cars, the lights, the television, the radio, everything was completely new, as was the cold Patagonian wind that reached his face.

"Our nation would be interested in opening diplomatic channels with your allies from Quila." Agustin spoke, who was accompanying them through the city.

"Of course, we would love to be able to carry out a tripartite commercial agreement." Ainz wanted to bring Argentina closer to its allies before the Argentines approach Louria, he knew perfectly well that the kingdom of Louria would not want to have anything to do with a country that is friends with the demihumans.

"When we return to Qua-Toyne I would like to be able to visit Quila to begin diplomatic relations as soon as possible." Agustin smiled, the native delegation had told him that in that country there were rivers of flammable black water, as well as flammable rocks. If that were oil and coal, it would be vital for the country's survival.

In that, they all hear a loud noise on the other side of the street, when they turn they see a car speeding away leaving an old woman.

"Damn! I'll call an ambulance and the police." Agustin was taking out his phone.

"There's no time, I'm going to cure her!" Ainz began to run towards the poor old woman, and then, once he reached her side, he began to speak in a strange language.

Agustin was speechless watching the woman's wound close up.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, finding the one who had just saved her life; A young man with somewhat long brown hair, wearing strange clothes and speaking an almost divine language.

"J-Jesus is that you?!"

Someone has recorded the incident and then it was uploaded to the internet, to those forums whose servers were in Argentina like Taringa.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

This was shocking to everyone who had seen the video, starting to freak out online.

Marcelo: LPM We really are in another world!

Elver_Galarga18: This must be fake, it can't be true.

CosmeFulanito: Will there be dragons and other creatures? Since the magic seems to be real here...

El-Zorro3000: My parents were in Spain on vacation, I'm not going to see them again.

Milipili (Re: El-Zorro3000): Look on the positive side, they escaped from Latin America.

TeemoTiamat: I wonder if there will be catgirls.

Rosa_Melano: Go take a shower first, they have a more developed sense of smell so they won't get close to a lol player like you.

And other conversations on the subject.

Louria Sea

In fishing boats with machine guns attached, the kelpers were heading for the continent of Rodenius.

"I don't understand why we should go as fishing boats instead of diplomats." Frank said, as he ate some fried squid.

"Trade is very important in diplomacy, if they are interested in what we have to offer then everything will be easier... Also, we cannot bring with us a ship from the fleet, if the Argentines find out that the destroyer or the frigate abandoned the islands might try to attack." Answered Jhon, a diplomat with more experience.

"But... what exactly are we looking for in this new world? We have food and clothing from fishing and herding sheep, AND we have enough oil from our oil rigs. I don't think wooden ships can help us in a war against Argentina."

"We have oil... yet we don't have refineries to convert that oil into fuel, nor do we have the materials to build that refinery." explained his superior.

"If that's the case then we'll run out of fuel to defend ourselves!"

"It is true, in the islands we are capable of refining in an artisanal way to maintain the fishing boats and some vehicles, but we need an industrial production if we want our fleet of ships and planes to work. That is why we need the raw materials of this world."

"I see... then once we make a place for ourselves in this world's market, we will establish diplomatic relations." Frank seemed to see the intent.

"No, if the Argentines find out that we are looking for allies they could carry out an attack to prevent us from getting more."

"So what's the plan?"

"The plan is to get money obtained from fishing and then buy the necessary material. Once we have the refinery ready, we will be able to have the freedom to officially establish diplomatic relations, so for the moment we will not get involved in the foreign policy of any country."

Jin-Hark port. Kingdom of Louria

"Woah! It really seems like we've traveled back in time."

The fishermen unloaded the merchandise to sell, there were only two products but they were excellent quality products; Patagonian Tootfish and different kinds of squid, while the natives watched the big fishing boats.

Customers came to the English stalls to see this strange merchandise.

"These look like little krakens." Said a native. "Are you sure they're edible?"

The fishermen give a smile and then take a grill and cook a squid and give it to him, it was like a free sample.

The customer, somewhat distrustful, puts the squid in his mouth.

"T-This is..." The buyer's eyes widened at the incredible taste. "It's delicious!"

"I'm glad you like it, an Illex squid costs two 60-gram silver coins." The fisherman said smiling.

"Deal done, give me 20 squid."

"Excuse me, how much does this fish cost?" Another native client was approaching.

"Oh, a 60-gram silver coin." Said the fisherman.

"A kilo?"

"Umm, yes."

"I know quality when I see it, I want the whole fish. How much is it in total?"

"That's... 200 kilos of fish, sir."

"So, it's 200 silver coins, I'll order a servant to bring me the money."

The fisherman's jaw almost touched the ground when he heard that, that would be the equivalent of 12 kilos of silver for a fish.

"How prosperous is this city?"

Jin-Hark Tavern. A few days later.

"I heard we're preparing for war against Qua-Toyne and Quila." Said a client while talking to others.

"Yes, we will finally be able to unify the continent at once." Said another, who was a soldier.

"And we'll be able to get rid of those disgusting demihumans!" Said another raising his mug of beer.

"Do you think that if we unify the continent, they will give us superpower status? The Annorial empire is also outside the civilized areas like us but participates in the World Conference."

"I doubt we can do that; I don't think Palpadia will allow us to have that status." answered another.

"However, we could try to get closer to Mu, I heard that they have developed flying machines and iron ships." The soldier spoke.

The two diplomats from the Malvinas heard that and paid attention with interest.

"I don't think that's possible, we're too far from the second civilization for Mu or Leifor to want something with us."

"Excuse me gentlemen." John interrupts the men. "I would like to know more about Mu, I will pay everyone's drinks for the inconvenience." Putting a bag with silver coins on the table.

The drunks, seeing the money, excused John's interruption.

"How come they don't know about Mu? The second strongest superpower and leader of the second civilization area." One wondered.

"Our kingdom was established a short time ago; we are from some islands to the west of here who ventured to trade with the rest of the world." The diplomat responded.

"I see, in that case you will have a very hard time trading outside the continent of Rodenius." The soldier answered.

"Before answering... How is the status of the demihumans in your kingdom?" The soldier asked something curious.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, everyone in the Falklands kingdom is human like you or me. I don't think there is any demihuman."

Hearing that, the drunken soldier smiles and starts talking.

"The world is divided into 3 civilization areas and the uncivilized area: The central world, the first civilization, is controlled by the Holy Mirishial Empire, the most powerful nation in the world. Then there is the Mu continent, although in that continent there is also the superpower Leifor these could not stand against Mu even remotely. Then there is the continent of Philiades controlled by Papaldia, undisputed leader of the third civilization."

"The Holy Mirishial Empire gained its power through the study of magical artefacts left behind by the Ancient Sorcerer Empire, instead Mu developed almost without the use of magic, filling the sky with flying machines instead of wyverns."

"Meanwhile Papaldia rules with an iron fist the entire third civilization and the uncivilized countries that had the misfortune to be close to its shores, they establish such control over their vassals that they even do not allow them to trade without first requesting permission from them... Which is almost impossible if you are a country outside the civilized area like us."

Thus, the British were learning more about this new world and how it worked.

Royal Capital Barrat, Kingdom of Quila

A desolate landscape and a fiercely blowing dry wind... Looking around, there are no forests in sight and the trees that are growing are scattered.

An ocean of sand, a city of sand, and a region too arid to support crops. This is the Kingdom of Quira, where its people live in misery, and other countries not only call them a barbarian country, but a poor country.

People are so poor that they are desperate in their daily life and desperate to be able to live. Being able to do everything possible so that tomorrow is better than today is out of the question.

Those born and raised in this country leave their homes for its lush green neighbor, the Principality of Qua-Toyne.

They help import food from the Principality by earning foreign currency from the country, which improves temporary employment, mercenary jobs, etc. Since the Principality of Qua-Toyne sells food to the Kingdom of Quira at a cheap price, they are often seen as the kingdom's lifeline and have kept them from suffering.

The royal nobleman who oversees foreign affairs, Metzal, waits in a room for the ambassador of the Principality of Qua-Toyne who has requested dialogue on 'urgent matters'.

As he pondered the content of the discussion, the doors to the room opened. The Principality of Kua Toine's diplomat, Payne, entered the room with a nervous expression.

Metzal stood up and welcomed him. They greeted each other hastily before sitting down in their seats.

"What is this urgent matter you speak of?"

"To tell the truth, an emerging country called Argentina has visited us and they want to establish diplomatic relations"

"Hoh~" It's not particularly unusual to establish diplomatic relations with emerging countries.

These issues are not exactly 'urgent' in a meeting with a neighboring country.

Payne continues.

"Before our country opens diplomatic relations, we have decided to send them a delegation."

"Okay..."

"Argentina seems to want to open diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Quira, so I have come here to request that our country mediate" Metzal thought that it still did not count as an 'urgent matter', but he began to speak.

"It seemed like a while ago that you were in a hurry to talk about it... Is there perhaps something peculiar?" Payne, who was the first to speak, was silent for a while.

After a while, he opened his seemingly heavy mouth.

"Actually... This Argentina is extremely peculiar" Metzal had stiffened his guard, but he didn't understand the description of a 'peculiar emerging country', so he calmed down.

Payne spoke about how a flying object from Argentina suddenly flew into his country and how his ambassadors came to them in a colossal ship. He said that the flying object did not flap its wings and was flying at over 600 km/h and that the ship was made of steel and was of unusual size.

Metzal was suddenly surprised and his eyes widened.

"Unbelievable. If that story is really true, then they would be on the same level as a country from the civilized areas... No, a superpower! They can even surpass them! There's no way we haven't met such a country before!"

"That's correct. However, they themselves claim that their country was suddenly transferred here from another world... We still don't know much about their country. When the results of the mission come in, I will send information to them."

"Thank you. They seem to be a new threat, don't they? Do you know what the racial makeup of their country is?" Metzal was curious about the composition of the non-humans and asked.

On the off chance that the human percentage of your country is high, you need to consider the possibility that they persecute non-humans.

"It seems they are fully human"

"W-What!? You mean they don't have dwarves, beastmen, or elves!?"

"...Yes"

"Perhaps they are persecuting non-humans like the Kingdom of Louria! I wouldn't want to be associated with such a country!" Payne calmly controls Metzal's loud tone.

"We still don't know what kind of country they are, but we are sure that their technology matches that of the superpowers. There is also the fact that they have taken an interest in us. If we were hostile to the Kingdom of Louria or Argentina, we would certainly lose." As the one in charge of a country's diplomacy, Metzal regains his composure.

"Hmm... It seems that I have become a bit passionate. Well, then we will receive the envoys from Argentina and then we will listen to what they have to say, thank you" Afterwards, a place of discussion was established for the first contact between the Kingdom of Quilla and Argentina.

A week later

The day of the first meeting between the Kingdom of Quila and Argentina has arrived.

To reach the royal capital of Barrat, which is far from the coast, the Argentine ambassadors have asked permission to fly into their airspace and will then fly from a ship at sea using a flying machine called a helicopter. The military of the Kingdom of Quila were enveloped in astonishment upon seeing the flying object for the first time as it evoked gusts of wind with a thunderous sound.

Moving into the reception room of the foreign affairs office of the Kingdom of Quila, they formally exchanged greetings with representatives of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and began their meeting over dinner.

"Once again, I am Agustin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have come this time to carry out preliminary consultations with the aim of establishing diplomatic relations with your country"

Metzal, still on guard, arched an eyebrow at his human counterpart.

"We have heard from the Principality of Qua-Toyne that your country is one with superior technological capabilities. May I ask what Argentina wants from a poor country like us? If Argentina wants labor as a sacrifice to the gods, intervention in our political system, or if possesses territorial ambitions here, I intend to withdraw from this discussion."

"Don't worry about that, we have no intention of expanding into foreign territory or establishing a puppet state. What we're looking for is something simple; water and flammable rocks." He said as he began to eat. "We seek to agree on the rights for the extraction and exploitation of oil, what you call flammable water, and coal, flammable rocks, permanently and exclusively. All this in exchange for the construction of infrastructure in the country and the construction of a port for the transfer of production Due to the need for labor, our construction and oil companies will be willing to hire the local population in exchange for giving them everything they need, be it food, clothing, shelter, and medical care."

Metzal was taken aback after hearing that the subject of the transaction will be "flammable water." In the Kingdom of Quila, the 'flammable water' was roughly equivalent to pebbles found on the side of the road, however this strange nation was not only willing to build the necessary infrastructure, but also to provide work, food and shelter. to the inhabitants of his country to obtain it.

"This is...a deal too good to be true..."

"It's because you don't know the value of oil or coal." Agustin laughed to himself.

"By the way... I would like to ask something. What is the reason that your country is only for humans?" He asked suspiciously, this was what most alerted him.

"That's because there were never any other races in the first place. The only racial difference that exists within our country is skin color." Agustin explained, with this doubt resolved, Metzal was able to relax.

Some day later, the Kingdom of Quila and Argentina established diplomatic relations, and the kingdom has received so much support that they have become richer than ever in their history. What was once a poor country is now next to the Principality of Qua-Toyne as friends of Argentina and has left its mark on the world... Although of course, once they found out about the value of oil and coal, there was a lot of inconvenience between the kings and nobles about the agreement, but there was nothing they could do.
