Realm of Power

The representatives of the Barrow countries in Central Europe who were expelled from the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs no longer had the arrogance they had when they first arrived. Instead, they were like beaten dogs in the water. Their faces were as pale as dirt. Only when something is truly lost can you know its value. How important it is. I originally wanted to blackmail the empire and force it to make concessions on the debt. This kind of thing has not happened in this year. This is not the first time. The empire always chooses to tolerate when it needs face and stability. But no one expected that this time, the empire would suddenly turn its back. The heads of the representatives of all countries are still in a state of being unable to react. "Is the empire just now? Accepted our application to secede from the empire? "A representative asked with a cry in his tone, this is a big joke! They were just ordered to negotiate, and they just wanted to blackmail the empire. Yesterday, everything went smoothly. The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs was quite tolerant of their aggressiveness. Why did it change today!

"Everyone must not be discouraged. As long as we, China and Europe, are united and united, what can the Empire do to us?"

The representative of the Kingdom of Liri yelled with a face of reluctance. From the coastline of Central Europe, after Castle Rock is Anthea, and after Anthea is the Baita Port of the Kingdom of Liri. Therefore, this joint protest was the most violent. It is the Liri Kingdom, and in order to redeem the port, the Liri Kingdom also borrowed 1.3 million imperial gold from the Imperial Bank.

Naturally, the Kingdom of Liri has no intention of repaying it. It is planning to take advantage of this joint protest to drag this debt over. Even if it cannot be postponed, it can be postponed for seventy or eighty years. The empire could If we lend money to the Ruila people for a hundred years, why can’t we extend the Liri Kingdom’s debt for eighty years!

"I'm sorry, I still have some urgent things to deal with, so I won't be here to accompany you." One representative waved to the others as if he didn't hear the words of the Liri Kingdom representative, turned around and left. "Oh, I just remembered that there are still some important things that need to be resolved."

The representatives said one after another, and the birds and beasts immediately dispersed, each hurried back to report to their own country, leaving the representative of the Liri Kingdom standing there alone, and they were all anxious, who cares about the Liri Kingdom, the empire accepted it. The Central European countries' application to secede is about to cause such a huge earthquake that even your buttocks can imagine it.

Countries dared to challenge the Empire because they relied on the talisman of being vassals of the Empire. Once the countries lost their status as vassals of the Empire, they were just a piece of cake in front of the extremely powerful Empire. At the time when the Barrow countries in Central Europe were at their strongest, , the united army led by the Kingdom of Rila went to war against the Empire. , hundreds of thousands of troops have been swept away by the empire, and now, after the Hungarian Rebellion, Barro in Central Europe has been basically exhausted. The former leader, the Kingdom of Rila, has also declined, and its national strength has been greatly damaged. Under such suppression, I am afraid that it will be impossible to rise again within a few decades.

The second largest remaining kingdom is the Kingdom of Alberos. Because it was not affected by the Hungarian Rebellion, the Kingdom of Alberos has gradually become the leader of Barro in Central Europe in the past two years, and it is also actively uniting other countries to fight against the empire. This time the countries jointly protested, initially they wanted to push the Kingdom of Eberros out to take the lead. After all, the cause of this incident , it was the Princess of the Kingdom of Aberos who caused the commotion during the Empire's annual meeting. It was the princess who brought people together among the countries with ports, and brought them together. If there was no such thing as the Kingdom of Aberos, If a princess takes the lead in this matter, the following incidents will definitely not happen, and the countries will not go into debt in order to redeem the port.

However, the reply from the Kingdom of Aberos chilled the hearts of all the countries. The Kingdom of Aberos stated that it had no right to protest to the empire on behalf of the countries. The reason was that the Kingdom of Aberos did not have a port. This reason almost made the countries Exploded, this is typical irresponsibility. You caused the trouble in the first place, but now you want to get away and refuse to admit it, leaving a mess that no one can clean up. In the end, representatives from various countries came directly to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs to raise the issue. protest,

The sun is shining brightly in front of us, and the weather at the end of May is as hot as steam, but it feels very cold when it falls on the representatives of the countries. That is heart-breaking! Urgent documents flew towards the Barrow countries in Central Europe one after another. Seeing the black spots flying farther and farther and gradually disappearing into the sky, the representatives of these countries felt so regretful that their intestines turned green! Things are getting serious! The status of vassal of the empire is too important to them, and the amulet is just one of them. Because of the status of vassal of the empire, the benefits and benefits they get are also one of the reasons why they can recover quickly. With the status of vassal of the empire, their merchants can get the same benefits as the vassal of the empire. Imperial merchants have the same trading power. Wherever they go, no force dares to offend them easily, because behind them is the Empire, as well as various financial investments and industrial investments from the outside world. The first thing they value is the Empire. Give them favorable policies from these vassal countries

It's gone now, everything is gone,

Now the representatives of the various countries have discovered what it means to them once they really lose the aura of being a vassal of the empire.

From an economic point of view, in order to break away from the empire, they broke away from the empire's commercial system. Now all the benefits from the empire are gone, and they are suddenly thrown back to the original state of domestic commerce. If their goods want to take the empire's sea route, You still need to pay a free toll to the Imperial Navy, and even if you arrive at your destination, you don’t have the status of an Imperial merchant. , the collection of taxes from various checkpoints is enough to cut profits by more than three-quarters, because the empire has commercial agreements with many countries, and these countries do not levy, or only levy a small part of, toll taxes on empire merchants, and now, This benefit is also gone. If their merchants report the name of a certain kingdom, the other party's expression is basically what the hell is that!

And because of leaving the empire, the funds originally invested in the country will be withdrawn immediately. Who dares to invest in countries that have not been integrated into the empire's commercial system? Not to mention whether the capital will be recovered or not, it is hard to say whether the empire will launch a war. The withdrawal of these funds will be a disaster for these kingdoms that are already burdened with heavy debts, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the empire's national strength The past two years have been even better Zhongtian is invincible. Even the coast of Barro in southern Europe has been captured by the empire. Once the empire turns its back and disowns them and uses force against them, other countries in Barro in Central Europe will probably not lend a helping hand, or even come out to share a piece of the pie. It’s already a great honor!

The bright sunshine shone in from the window, dragging a long shadow in the emperor's office, "Your Majesty, regarding the declaration of these countries' separation from the empire..." Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Angelia appeared in front of the emperor neatly, holding a stack of The document was presented with a little excitement on his face. This time it was really big. It was heart-wrenching, especially seeing the representatives of the Central European Barrow countries being forcibly dragged out by the guards. For the "oppressed" Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was like drinking a glass of ice honey on a June day. Refreshingly, I am afraid that the representatives of the Central European Barrow countries have already begun to feel restless! Now just waiting for this bomb of sufficient weight to be signed by the emperor, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs can feel proud and proud! "Put it here. Are you going to attend the seventh graduation ceremony of the Ethical Priests held at the Sky Temple branch in the southern suburbs of Lisbon?" The emperor was closing a document in his hand and raised his head to look at him Asked "Yes, Your Majesty, because some of this year's graduates will go to South Obaro, so the Sky Temple found the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could take care of it. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally decided that I would represent the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to attend the ceremony. "The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Angelia quickly and respectfully replied," Sky Temple How many people will be selected to go to South Europe this time? Fatty asked.

Since the Sky Temple became the state religion of the empire, it has begun to become an important part of the empire's educational institutions. With the popularity of the Sky Temple's ritual schools in major cities and towns in the empire, the Sky Temple's ritual priests have taken on the responsibility of The work of basic education in the empire is said to be the priesthood of etiquette, but in fact it is Equivalent to primary and secondary school teachers in the empire, these ritual priests not only have the status of Sky Temple priests, but also enjoy the monthly remuneration given by the empire, and the graduation ceremony of the Sky Temple ritual priests is still held by the high priest of Sky Temple. Hosted in person, that is to say, hosted by Palstina herself

And this time, it was also the last time that Palstina presided over the graduation ceremony as the high priest, and then she would step down from the position of high priest. Fatty learned from the Sky Temple that the person attending the ceremony from the empire was none other than Angelia, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of the Reich

"The Sky Temple selected 67 people from the graduates, mainly placed in the Hérault region, the Fezer region and the northern part of the Order State"

Angelia took a deep breath and said, "These areas are controlled by the empire, and the Sky Temple has also set up branches. However, the Sky Temple has also expressed the idea of ​​setting up a branch in the Kalisu area. , the Sky Temple believes that the Kingdom of Calisu has just been destroyed, and a large number of refugees have gathered in the northern empire-controlled area, and it is precisely the need to appease the people. I thought that if the Empire could allow the Sky Temple to enter Calisu, I believe that the Calisu people would quickly identify with the Empire. However, my subordinates believed that the situation in the Calisu area was not stable and could become a war zone at any time, so they refused. He accepted this request, but judging from the attitude of the Sky Temple, he may still send someone to Calisu quietly! "

"You are doing the right thing. The Kalisu area is only temporarily stable. Not to mention whether the refugees moving north will cause chaos, even the Anser and Martin Liga people in the south may launch an attack on the north at any time! Sky Saint "I'd better wait until the situation stabilizes before talking." The fat man frowned slightly. He stood up from his seat, came to the window and looked at the blue sky outside the window. He vaguely guessed that this proposal must have been made by Instructor Palstina. He turned around from the window and asked in a serious voice, " When is the ceremony? ""Tomorrow at ten o'clock!

"I'll go tomorrow too." "Your Majesty, will you go too? Then I'll go and let them prepare immediately!" A look of astonishment appeared on Angelia's face. "Don't bother, I'm just going in private capacity. After all, I'm also Parstina's instructor." Disciple, if you’re not an emperor, I’ll just ride in your carriage. You shouldn’t mind.” The fat man tapped his fingers on the table.

"Of course, this is my subordinate's honor!" Angelia bowed her head in salute, turned around and walked backwards to leave the office. He didn't notice that the emperor's face was a little livid.

"What exactly does this woman Putamia want to do?"

When Angelia left the office, the fat man pressed his hands heavily on the table and groaned angrily. The Carisu area is far away from Lisbon, separated by an entire inland sea and the territory of Feize Kingdom. Pal Schina didn't have the military's intelligence system, so how could she know so much about the situation in Carisu? If anyone really cared about the situation in the Carisu area, I'm afraid it was the female teacher who had been staying in Lisbon. Zongcai is right! Ever since she escaped from Lisbonto, the female pope has basically been unable to find her. She encouraged Palstina to go to Calisu to force her to show up. This female gangster can definitely do such a thing!

Others are reluctant to avoid the war zone. Only this mentor sister sees the war zone as an opportunity to preach. Carisu seems to be calm now, but it is actually a precursor to the upcoming war. She must not let this mentor sister run to preach. what to teach

But apart from going there personally, I'm afraid no one else can stop this matter.

Fatty discovered that the so-called religious leaders may be too energetic, or have too much self-confidence, always thinking that they are guided by so-called oracles, or they may be self-centered severe schizophrenia patients, such as crazy people like Putamia. Women, or impulsive people who may lose their temper at any time, such as mentors

"We can no longer let this woman stay in Lisbon. She is simply a scourge!" The fat man was thinking this way. The door of the office was pushed open, and an Imperial Guard captain walked in with a battle report. "Your Majesty, what I just received "Southern War Report"

"Southern battle report? Are the Ansers advancing north?"

The fat man's eyes froze for a second. As soon as he mentioned Calisu, he didn't expect that he would come immediately. He took the red battle report from the guard captain, opened the battle report and glanced at the contents inside, and couldn't help but throw it on the ground with one hand. Posti, do you think I'm a fool? However, they were attacked by the Harvey Kingdom Army and had to counterattack to annihilate them. What the Harvey Kingdom Army wanted most now was to run away and return home. It was a blessing that the Imperial Army did not pursue them. They only took the initiative to attack the Imperial Army after they had eaten enough. Moreover, the entire army was suppressed! superior!"

"Immediately send an order to the south. From now on, Reposti will be relieved of his duties." The fat man ordered angrily. Although Reposti won a decisive victory, this kind of disobedience to the order must not be tolerated lightly. , if the empire wants to annihilate these Harvey troops, it will not be delayed till now, Lord Harvey The longer Martin stays abroad, the stronger the dissatisfaction in Harvey's country will be. After all, Martin's grab-and-run style may not guarantee that the Kingdom of Harvey will continue to be in chaos, so he has to bury himself in the Kingdom of Harvey. This hidden danger makes the Harvey people distrust their own country's soldiers, which is more in line with what the empire needs.

It's a pity that now, they are all destroyed by Reposti's overly aggressive battle!

When Konoe was about to walk out of the office, the fat man shouted again, "Forget it, don't give orders, tell Reposti for the time being, since he has been beaten, clean it up for me, otherwise, I will also dismiss him from his duties!" "
