Realm of Power

After getting on the carriage parked outside the Chamber of Commerce, when the carriage door was closed from the outside, the fat man's stern face smiled bitterly at Li Yuehua and Princess Mingyue who were sitting opposite. "I didn't expect you to see a joke. It's just that I can't handle the trivial matter of two million gold of food. It's still my mistake, but it's still a gain. At least I know the focus of the four southern countries. The other party first used Princess Mingyue. and King Carisu came to attack the empire's prestige, and now they are secretly buying up the food in the Imperial Capital area."

The fat man paused, looked at the crowd of people outside the car, and then continued to say, "I have to thank you all, otherwise, when the other party really does this, this New Year's Eve will be ruined." Not to mention being the laughing stock of the entire continent, even the pattern within the empire's territory will also see considerable fluctuations, but I have roughly guessed what the opponent's last move will be." "Your Majesty is too polite, but I don't understand. Aren't you afraid of the empire's revenge when the other party buys out the imperial capital's food so blatantly?" Princess Mingyue took a deep breath on her pretty face. Even she now It is already clear that the people from the four southern countries are not good, and even I They have all been taken advantage of. The other party has made it clear that they not only want to use this period of the most important annual meeting of the empire to severely damage the empire's prestige, but may even have a more powerful back-up plan. As for what the back-up plan is, because for Nanou Ba Luo was completely unfamiliar with it, so Princess Mingyue only relied on a woman's intuition. "The other party is very smart and knows that it is during the Empire's annual meeting. The eyes of the entire continent are focused here. The more blatant the other party does, the more the empire will be unable to retaliate against it." The fat man withdrew his gaze from outside the carriage, with a look of disdain on his lips. "Unless the empire goes back on its word and restricts the flow of food into the hands of the four countries, Otherwise, there is nothing you can do, but if you do this, the blow to the empire will be even greater, because the other party can openly say that the empire's business has no integrity. With such a precedent, who will dare to do business with the empire in the future? And the other party! In addition to destroying the prestige of the empire, what I really wanted to do was accomplished.”

"The real purpose?" Princess Mingyue looked stunned. Could it be that the Four Kingdoms had other deeper purposes? , she couldn't help but ask herself, what did the other party do after spending so much energy and mobilizing so much money?

"The other party wants to completely attract the empire's attention, even if it is only for a few days!" The fat man smiled slightly and glanced at the corner of his mouth. When Princess Mingyue was still thinking, Li Yuehua next to him suddenly let out a low cry. He was in charge of intelligence, and he also knew a little about South Europe Barrow. He immediately heard other contents from the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty is saying that the four southern countries are making big moves in the south, otherwise why would they limit the empire's attention to Dahai City?"

"You're right, the other party just wants to use these ten days to do something big that will attract the attention of the entire Oparo!" The fat man showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said, "If I hadn't If you guess wrong, the one that meets the conditions should be the Kingdom of Calisu among the Four Kingdoms, because Harvey and other armies of the Three Kingdoms are currently in the southern part of the Order State. Even if the Empire gives the Three Kingdoms more than ten days, it will be difficult to open up the situation, but Kingdom of Callisu It's different. Ten days is not a lot of time, but it is enough for the army of the Kalisu Kingdom to annex several small vassal states in the south of Feize. At that time, the four countries will successfully annex the Kalisu Kingdom in the Imperial Capital. If the news of the annexation of Fezer's southern vassal country is released, it will cause an uproar for the entire Obaro. Even if the Kingdom of Kalisu breaks away from the empire's camp, its power will increase sharply now. By then, the empire will be embarrassed."

Li Yuehua's pretty face turned pale, and her fingers suddenly clenched the hem of her skirt. The other party's move was a sure blow. The other party was playing with the distance difference. The Imperial Capital was thousands of miles away from Barro in South Europe. Even if the Empire issued an order now, I'm afraid it wouldn't reach him. Barrow, a distant southern European, was also too late. A battle in the Holy Capital could be said to have pushed the empire's military power, which had been dormant for more than a year, to its peak again. No one expected that the opponent's back-up attack would come so quickly. "The empire started a great battle in the Holy City in the southern part of Opalo. It used 30,000 troops to kill 100,000 Southern Allied Forces, which shocked the entire south. But now, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the west coast, but they can't even stop the Carisu Kingdom. It is impossible to invade the north and annex the southern vassal states. How can we talk about shocking the entire south and entering the territory of central Barro in southern Europe?

This alone was enough for the Southern Alliance to break away from the impact of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Holy Capital.

The Southern Alliance can also take this opportunity to attract more southern countries to join to increase the strength of the alliance. Coupled with the series of high-profile actions of the four southern countries in Imperial Capital Ocean City, this will definitely make the Imperial Capital New Year's Eve a success. It will be the most miserable time! The advantage the empire had gained in the battle for the Southern Holy Capital would immediately be overturned because of this incident.

I have to admit that the counterattack launched by the other party by seizing the opportunity of the Empire's annual meeting was a stroke of genius!

At this moment, in the Imperial Sea City thousands of miles away, the special envoys of the Four Nations Alliance must have known that the Kalisu Kingdom's army was annexing Fezer's southern vassal country, so they tried their best to attract the attention of the empire's top officials. As long as they were located on the northwest coast The imperial army does not move. As long as the news of the Calisu Kingdom's annexation of the southern kingdoms reaches the Imperial Capital, it will definitely produce an explosion shock wave effect. Therefore, the four countries must increase their momentum!

Li Yuehua also didn't expect that his little cleverness would lead to such a big drama of a fierce dragon crossing the river. On the surface, the Empire's annual meeting was glorious, but secretly it was already a raging storm, and the great game between the northern and southern forces had begun. Behind the scenes of the peaceful food war in the imperial capital, lies the war and blood flowing in the southern kingdoms of Feize!

"It's just a little distance trick. It won't change the world. But since I promised to give you two million empire gold in food, then you can do me a favor." The fat man glanced at Li Yuehua's slightly pale face. Face, the corner of his mouth suddenly smiled and said, of course he will not tell Princess Mingyue and Li Yuehua, he has already asked Salton to guard against this move, "Your Majesty, just tell us what you need us to do."

Princess Mingyue and Li Yuehua looked at each other, and Li Yuehua's eyes flashed with cold light. They were excited. The emperor wanted to fight back, but how to fight back, the two women couldn't think of it for a while. Although the other party had bad intentions, , but the food was purchased with real money, so it can't really be forcibly withheld, right? However, according to Li Yuehua's understanding of Fatty, this guy is a very good master at killing people without losing money. As long as he takes action, there is absolutely no possibility of failure! Thinking of the murderous intentions of the four southern countries this time, Li Yuehua also felt that his heart was filled with grievances, and he wanted to vent it out! They've all come right to the door. It's a joke if you tolerate it any longer! "Actually, it's nothing. Doesn't Mingyue want to buy food? Then find a reason to grab all their orders! It's not easy for the empire to intervene in this matter, but Mingyue can. As for those chambers of commerce, I will appoint a special person to come. The "fat man" who is assisting you grinned and glanced at the dozen or so ornately decorated carriages outside the carriage. They stopped at a shop not far away. In front of the carriage were more than two dozen Nanfang Haha wearing armor. The knights of the Kingdom of Wei opened the way, looking majestic. Two or three noble-looking people stepped out of the carriage. Immediately, a large number of businessmen gathered nearby. These were the people from the Southern Four Nations Alliance, although it was only Harvey who came. The kingdom's special envoy also attracted many businessmen to gather around. This time, who didn't know that the four southern countries were major financial sponsors? Surrounded by a large group of businessmen, the Harvey kingdom's special envoy walked into a large chamber of commerce. ,

These guys are obviously waiting for the news to come from the south, but they don't know if these guys will be so interested if the news really comes from the south! The fat man withdrew his gaze from the outside and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If the Kalisu Army really launched a campaign to advance north, then what the Kalisu Army would be facing at this moment was not just a few small vassals with a combined total of only 30,000 to 40,000 people. It is a motley army of people, but the Second Southern Army under Salton, which has been sharpening its sword on the northwest coast for two years, waiting for a test.

It can only be said that the Kalisu people are unlucky. The Second Army in the South is a large collection of former Nord elites. The soldiers are all veterans of the former Nord army. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are famous generals among the commanders. When he sent this army A military group composed of pure Nord elites was sent to the west coast. It was a heavy weight that fell south after the empire gained a foothold. In two years Over time, due to the tilt of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Salton's Second Army has grown from 50,000 to 120,000, from eight first-line flag regiments to four cavalry flag regiments and fourteen infantry. The heavy troops of the Flag Regiment, not counting the so-called wasteland expansion regiments, otherwise the empire's military strength on the west coast should be able to reach 300,000.

In two years, this fallen heavy son has already been able to crush an opponent! And Salton, a guy who likes sinister people, is also looking for an opportunity to make the Second Army of the South famous in the mainland.

The past two months have been too eye-catching. It has only been a year since Fezer was divided, and the Kalisu Kingdom has expanded its military strength from the original 80,000 to 150,000. This kind of almost explosive force Growth, do you really think the empire’s eyes are blind? "You must know that the man stationed on the northwest coast is Salton, the former Nord who is famous for his calmness and tenacity. The name of the defensive master is his keen perception and accurate judgment of the situation. Among the officers under his command, there are even a group of former Nords. The war fanatics trapped such a group of people on the west coast for more than a year. What this group of well-fed guys think about every day is to go south, go south. After two years of sharpening their swords, their heavy swords have no edge!

When Fatty was still in Feishan, Salton had already predicted that Kali's Soviet army might have the intention of marching north and put forward a response plan. However, Salton didn't expect that the time Fatty gave him the order was the Imperial Annual Meeting. During this period, at the critical moment, Fatty needs this Nord epee, which is eager to take out its sheath and drink blood, to show his muscles for the empire and shock the world! "Isn't it a little bit to grab food orders from the four southern countries..." Princess Mingyue showed a look of embarrassment when she heard that the emperor proposed such an unethical method.

Li Yuehua next to him is already full of murderous intent. "Good idea, this is the way to go. This is Imperial Capital Ocean City, and it is His Majesty's territory. Don't talk about grabbing orders. Even if you kill someone, it doesn't matter. If you don't teach these people a lesson, they don't know." You guys, the sky is high, you really think this is their south!" But Li Yue! Hua immediately said with a sneer, "According to the rules of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, orders that have been placed cannot be changed even if the price increases. We only have two million imperial gold and want to snatch it from the Southern Alliance, which has tens of millions of funds." The order, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, unless His Majesty gives us enough funds." "Two million imperial gold is enough! How to make those chambers of commerce change their minds? Of course I have a way. The main thing for you and Mingyue is to show up."

The fat man glared at Li Yuehua fiercely and snorted, "There is no way to get the Chamber of Commerce to change the order. And if I guessed correctly, the food order of the Four Nations Alliance does not require delivery before the end of the New Year's Eve meeting. What's more, It is impossible to pay everything in full. The so-called order is naturally a deposit paid first. Otherwise, the food held by the major chambers of commerce in the Empire's Ocean City would be enough to empty the funds of the four alliances. They still have funds to buy other goods. " "Although the Four Nations Alliance has a lot of funds in its hands, there are still other commodities that need to be purchased. Ordering so much food at once is actually just telling other countries that want to buy food that the Four Nations Alliance has strong financial resources. Wait until the news comes from the south. , the countries were shocked, the Four-Nation Alliance achieved its goal, naturally Some orders will be canceled, and all you have to do is go to those chambers of commerce and say that you can pay in full and ask for a reply within three days. In this case, those chambers of commerce will go to the Four Nations Alliance and ask them to respond within three days. If the four-nation alliance cannot pay in full, the order will naturally be cancelled! "

Princess Mingyue's eyes lit up, and Li Yuehua also sighed twice. This method is really a loss. It forces the Four Nations Alliance to pay in full. The problem is that it is absolutely impossible for the Four Nations Alliance to pay in full. , representatives of the Four Nations Alliance can really jump into the sea! After such a mess, I am afraid that more than half of the orders from the Four Nations Alliance will be scrapped.

"What if those chambers of commerce find us afterwards? We don't have that much money!" Li Yuehua said timidly. This was a bit of a big deal. It could be said to be deceiving the chambers of commerce in the entire Imperial Capital, or even the chambers of commerce in the entire empire!

"Don't forget who you are. You are Li Yuehua, the governor of the Imperial Capital West Road, an important imperial minister with full responsibility for the Central Asian region. You accompanied Princess Mingyue to buy grain. You said that the grain you bought was to relieve the refugees in Central Asia. Who dares not to believe it?" The fat man's face turned pale with anger and he faced her speechlessly. Rolling his eyes, "Even if the merchants come after you, who dares to do anything to you, Li Yuehua? At most, you can go to the Supervision Department to file a complaint. What are you afraid of if I am here? Besides, so many food orders have been canceled at once. How can you use it?" Two million imperial gold can’t buy more food!”
