Futanari System

Chapter 199: Negotiator

Every day for weeks, I had been going to see my kids before I continued to work. Talking with my new Bootcamp workers was my major responsibility. I was waiting for more Logistic personnel, and the families were dragging their feet. That wasn't my biggest problem overall, as I found my sisters and brothers now bringing in more information.

I needed various things that the Bunny-kin people needed help to bring in. Or to be more straightforward about it, was the fact that the Bunny-kin tribe was too localized. Tribes surrounded and used us as protection from slavers and other threats.

That meant that if I was going to get the space needed for a new Military base, Boot camp, and Logistical base and warehousing area, then people needed to move, or I would need to split everything up to make a new logistical nightmare.

My head pounded at the thoughts, and I didn't have enough time to convince these people to give up their tribe's lands. I was now coming into what I found to be the biggest clusterfuck of interests and resources I had ever known. If I hadn't talked with the united nations in my past life, I would be hopeless in this situation.

To further complicate things, the interest groups around us were allies instead of enemies and would frown upon the fact that we wanted their land. No, I needed their lands, and the only land not currently under anyone's control was by the Elven forest because of the monster invasions. So tribes tended to stay near larger tribes, with the stronger tribes being closer to the cities.

This was the most simplistic version of things, which didn't even bring the elders and my father into the equation. I wanted and needed space to work with, and the only thing I had was a gathering spot outside the city. I started with plans, but the plans couldn't be refined and built upon without the fucking land.

It was a constant loop, and I came to a serious conclusion. I did not have the time to deal with everything. It was a harsh reality, but it was the reality I was dealt with. I leaned back in my chair, pinching the bridge of my nose, and sighed deeply. I couldn't stand this feeling of helplessness that I was feeling because of this. I needed more time and more subordinates that I could trust.

I started to go through my head, thinking about who I could ask to help me and whom I trusted to negotiate. My mind went only to my women, and my thoughts centered on the short list of names I would trust to do it. Rose, Yuri and Alexia. That was the list of people I trusted who had both the ability and trusted to follow my lead on things, and I needed Yuri for her competence as a Secretary.

She was in on everything I was doing, and I knew that she was listening in on my conversations to create and bring things to my attention.

It was that very thing that also made her the best choice to be my ambassador to other tribes for land. Then there was Rose, who I had to strike immediately because she was an Elf. That brought me back to Yuri and Alexia, who was in the diplomatic core before I met them. They were both older than me and had experience in the role. My sigh was long and drawn out as I called out, "Yuri!

I need to talk to you if you're available," I yelled out as I started to think hard about this conversation.

A second later, the door opened, and the beautiful woman stepped in with an elegant smile on her face. That smile was loaded, and I knew it, but I pointed at the chair, "I want to talk to you as an employee, not a lover, at this moment," I said slowly, my exhaustion clear.

"Oh?" Yuri turned from that loaded smile at her slight anger for me yelling at her instead of sticking my head out and asking her to come in. "That sounds ominous." She said with a different smile.

"Well, Think of it as a promotion," I said instead, making her tilt her head, and I sighed loudly and deeply. "Honestly, I do not know where Alexia is. She hasn't contacted me in the last couple of weeks, even though I would love to see our child. But that is beside the point, and I need to talk to you about it. I need a negotiator, and I need one badly.

To make it even worse, I need one that understands what I want and what I need while navigating the political firestorm potentially coming their way." I sighed.

"Instead of winding me up, Chelsea, just ask me," Yuri said with an understanding smile.

"Straight shot then? Okay, I need someone to negotiate with other tribes asking for land to make this army. All I got is about one square mile area for everything. I can set up some things on that, but it clearly isn't enough. One square mile is not enough for me to make the boot camp.

To make it even worse, this area is all over the place and around the city." I shook my head, "Impossible to work with the territory, and I need to simplify things now. I need a solid three areas. One area of around one and a half square miles is not broken up. That will be for the boot camp.

I need a two-square-mile area for the army and another separate three to five-square-mile area for the logistics army. The logistics need to be near at least a dirt road. That is what I am asking for you to negotiate for." I finished.

Yuri looked at me, thinking, and I saw her mind engaging the problem. "That will be a real issue to ask for," She said thoughtfully. No tribe will want to give up their land," Yuri said, and I nodded. "What are you able to give in return?" Yuri asked.

"Spots in the army that will be created. Their warriors in an elite army, and if I can pry it from the conservative's hands in the elder council, ability to live inside this city," I said before shrugging after a moment, "Honestly, I need to talk to the elder council to see what I can give you to negotiate with. If it was up to me, integrating with the Bunny-kin Elder council would be the best.

Let them join a much larger and more powerful council and unite our tribes would be for the best. But," I let my voice trail off as Yuri looked at me dumbstruck.

"That would be insane, Chelsea!?" Yuri exclaimed, "I never heard of an elder council accepting other tribes' elders into the midst. It would be giving control of your tribe to another tribe!"

"No, it wouldn't," I snapped back, showing an expression of annoyance. "We have more elders than any other race except the Dragonic, to my knowledge.

That means the Bunny-kin will still run our elder council, and as long as we keep other races to a minority, we would still be the controlling members." I told her seriously, "We would gain more people to control, and the new Elder would need time to make a power base, whereas our elders would still be in the majority.

We could gain control of at least five other tribes this way while only slightly watering down the control our elders have. Yes, each vote would be worth less, but it would control more people overall, and our ability to control the land around us would increase."

Yuri looked at me, shocked, and it took a moment for her mind to engage, and she started to think again. It seemed that no one in the upper echelons thought too much about the political side of things. As someone who lived in a world of representative democracies at the time of death with still so many dictators and oligarchies around to take the example of, it was obvious how the power game worked.

There were many ways to play the game, and I remembered the movie Starship troopers for a fascist democracy and what that could play as. It was a fascinating series, and I remember it sparking a lot of debate from all of us. My major takeaway was how easy it was to control undereducated people but how that could also change against you if things went wrong.

I wanted to create a democracy or at least a representative monarchy with a heavy emphasis on education for everyone here in the Beast-kin nation. Something for everyone to look up to but having their powers held in check by a democracy. That way, when the democracy needs a little bit of cleaning, the Monarchy is there, but the same thing is on the other side.

It would take a long time to set up, and it was in my long-term plans. The fact that Yuri was coming around to my thinking as I saw her mind engaging was a good thing. As her mind turned, I leaned forward and engaged her, "Yuri, I am not going to ask you to do anything before I talk to the Elders. Are you interested in this position?" I asked her point blank.

"I-" She paused and nodded to herself, "Yes, Chelsea, I am interested in this position. But what are you going to do about a secretary?" She asked.

I took a deep breath and sighed, "Honestly, Can you call Alexia back to see if she is still interested? I miss her," I said truthfully.

"I'll see what I can do," Yuri said, her smile wry. "I don't know what has been up with her, so I will go see her tomorrow. In the meantime, talk to the Elders before I change my position."

"Deal," I said with a smile.
