Realm of Power

Until many years later, the rise of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce is still a hot topic among historians. The first appearance of this chamber of commerce was so domineering, although at that time, the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce only showed help to the empire. He played the role of a bank debt collector, but the shock caused directly triggered the subsequent China-Europe-Pakistan Rebellion.

Why did the Central European Barrow countries that had already joined the Empire suddenly attack the Empire during the Empire's annual meeting? Why did the budding Sunrise Chamber of Commerce later launch a debt settlement against these troubled Central European Barrow countries? These Central European Barrow countries Why did the Luo country collectively announce its withdrawal from the empire? Then why did everyone cry and shout to throw themselves into the arms of the empire?

Countless scholars have published lengthy studies on this topic. They have published a shocking number of papers and conducted various discussions on the so-called mystery. Some scholars even regarded this incident as an extremely successful national game. The empire Merely using commercial means made the entire Obaro people stand on their feet. Some scholars regard this incident as a true manifestation of the empire's conquered areas being tied to the imperial chariot.

Although the reasons for the turmoil in the Barro countries in Central Europe are believed to be different, one thing is generally recognized, and that is that the man behind the Barro turmoil in Central Europe was none other than the third emperor of the empire who was known as the God of the Continental Army at the time. The first emperor, Falcon Dustan, this imperial emperor used incredible strategies to single-handedly direct the Barro Rebellion in Central Europe. In one day, After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, the iron plate of Central Europe Barro was shaken, and the Central Europe Barro area, which was originally only nominally attached to the empire, spontaneously requested to become the actual control area of ​​​​the empire. In the following three hundred years, the only control of the empire was Until the end of the empire's collapse, he was still a staunch supporter of the central power of the empire and a solid barrier for the central empire to resist Feishan's rebels!

The morning sun in Lisbon was still a bit cool. A group of tall Imperial Guard cavalry escorted a black carriage slowly on the road leading to the western suburbs of the city.

"Your Majesty, Reposti changed the battle plan without authorization. If this behavior is not severely punished, I am afraid it will cause more problems."

In the carriage, there was another person next to Angelia, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of the Empire. It was Hu Keqili, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire who had just arrived in a hurry last night. At this moment, this important minister of the Imperial Army was facing the opposite side with a depressed look on his face. The emperor expressed his opinion. He also received the battle report from the south and was very dissatisfied with Reposti's unauthorized behavior. However, the emperor did not ask for punishment. It was really for him, the imperial minister of affairs, to I can't sit still anymore.

"Severe punishment? What is the opinion of the Ministry of Military Affairs?"

The emperor looked calmly at the scene outside the carriage moving backwards.

This is the second street expansion of Lisbonto. A wide waterway was introduced. As the streets extend forward, large cities in the empire have waterways surrounding the city. This has long been an urban model. Using waterways, you can To solve the problem of drinking water, merchant ships can also sail directly into the docks inside the city. The surrounding houses look relatively new. There are not many people on the streets of Lisbon in the morning, but the caravans and carriages are never stopped.

Of course, what really caught the emperor's attention were the many private carriages traveling in the same direction. Most of them belonged to businessmen, and there were also carriages bearing family crests from the old days. There were many young men and women on these carriages. They are all wearing a kind of broad robe with a blue background and red lines, and a black hat with a square top on their head. This is the priest's uniform of the junior priest of the Sky Temple.

Although the Sky Temple does not have many restrictions on the recruitment of priests, it adheres to the standard of having certain knowledge and education, so naturally children from families with a certain financial foundation can enter.

Among them, the children of businessmen who have risen as an emerging class are undoubtedly the main body. After all, only one person can inherit the family business, and it is also a good choice for other children to enter the Sky Temple and become a respected priest, and those who can enter the Sky Temple There are many benefits. Not only can you get the opportunity to continue studying in the Sky Temple, but you can also be sent to various regions of the empire to carry out educational work after becoming a Sky Temple priest.

If you are lucky and perform well, you may even become a regional political officer in a few years. After all, a priest who is familiar with the region and possesses considerable knowledge is fully qualified to become a regional political officer, and the empire requires political officers. The demand has always been huge. Whether it is a conquered area or a newly expanded area, someone needs to manage it.

Therefore, every year, one-third of the students in the Imperial Political Officer Academy are selected from the priests in the Sky Temple area. This is also a disguised encouragement from the empire to these sky priests who are willing to engage in basic education work. For these areas For priests, once they become a regional political officer, they will enter the management of the empire, which will undoubtedly be of great help to their family! This is also an important motivation for imperial merchants and old nobles to rush to send family children to the Sky Temple.

The fat man's eyes fell on a carriage that had just stopped on the roadside outside the window. Two beautiful girls dressed as apprentice priests of the Sky Temple were curiously looking over from the carriage. Of course, these ignorant girls mainly looked at the carriage. The majestic imperial cavalry outside were looking at each other intently, and some even shouted

Where the imperial cavalry passed by, all the vehicles along the way would unconsciously choose to get out of the way, slow down or stop, giving off an even more oppressive atmosphere.

The head of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs is Imperial Princess Turrit Colleen. This wealthy lady from a thousand-year-old family naturally pays great attention to pomp and appearance. She has always claimed that the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs represents the dignity and image of the empire. How can this be true? Able to arrange carelessly, every cavalry member of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs is carefully selected. Not only is it required to be tall and strong, but the armor on the body is also tailor-made. It is not only close to the body, but also looks majestic enough. The imperial sword with a graceful arc carrying a silver-edged scabbard must be sufficient. Hou Huanli, wearing beautiful and gorgeous armor, behind him is a big red cloak that trembles slightly as he moves forward.

As the war horses move, they are like the wind blowing fiercely.

The red cherry blossoms on the top of the helmet are even more eye-catching, like flames, flipping backwards in the wind. To be honest, Fatty also thinks it is really handsome and domineering. The empire is no longer as simple as the past when the mainland was just unified, and the empire needs to change. The image in the hearts of the Obaro people really needs to be modified in this way. Even if there is no such thing as an honor guard in later generations, it is coincidental that Tulit Colleen wants such a guard.

"The Ministry of Military Affairs requests your majesty's permission to transfer Reposti back, otherwise the military chiefs in other regions will follow suit, and the empire may become the enemy of the entire Obaro overnight!"

Hu Keqili said with a serious face, "My subordinates are not being alarmist, but it is a fact. Once the empire's major legions start fighting everywhere in order to gain military glory like Reposti, the situation that the empire has finally stabilized will be completely over. , even the empire cannot withstand the flames of war on several fronts at the same time!”

This fierce general of the empire has been in charge of the Imperial Ministry of Affairs for more than a year. It can be said that he has worked very hard, and his temples are slightly gray. The stability of the Barrow region. Because of this, this imperial general who was fighting with swords and horses became more aware of the seriousness of the Reposti incident.

"It doesn't matter if the war is raging. The stability of the empire is of course important, but don't forget how the empire got to the scale it is now." The fat man smiled calmly. "Actually, I thought so at the beginning, but it changed later. Got an idea!" "Why, your majesty?" Hu Keqili looked confused. He always knew that although his master was easy to talk to, when it came to the country's military, it was another matter. When Ci did not control the army, he was still the master. tell yourself "My own" because I saw something from Reposti that was disappearing among the generals of the empire. "The emperor's eyes were terrifyingly deep, and he said slowly word for word. "When we started our troops from Wikiia, we then swept across Ikadiva. , from the northwest Landing, annihilating Gaul in the north, annexing Gang Africa in the south, unifying Barro in Central Europe, and reaching Istan with power, until the North-South War completely defeated Barro in South Europe, the empire was so devoured that the whole of Barro was frightened. , no one dares to fight!

The fat man paused for a moment before continuing, "But in the past two years, the empire has hardly used large-scale troops. The empire's eastward march only mobilized the two grassland courts. The generals of the empire who were determined to show off at the beginning have almost forgotten that they were What a way to overcome thorns and thorns with upholding The empire's five army commanders, from top to bottom, have become accustomed to enjoying it. In peaceful times, why do we still need to maintain a fighting spirit? Although Reposti is wrong, this desire? In order to gain military success, he even risked his life Fighting is exactly what the generals of our empire need at the moment. If Reposti is transferred back to him at this time, who will fight for military glory like before?" The emperor turned his head and said decisively, "So Reposti can punish you. , but absolutely cannot be transferred back! Even this war in the south needs to be fought more fiercely! You are the Minister of Imperial Affairs, and it is up to you to add fuel to the fire. In addition to the troops stationed in Ikadiva, the five major armies of the Empire, within a month, you will We need to draw 300,000 troops from inside and march into the south!"

"One month, isn't it too urgent? To mobilize an army of 300,000 people, such as the troops in Gaul and Istanbul, the journey alone will take more than half a month." Hu Keqili's eyes flashed, his face ugly. , Regarding what the emperor just said, he really agreed that the emperor's military power was the first. He thought that the imperial army could be invincible and hit many times with inferior troops. Defeat the enemy and create war miracles one after another. To put it bluntly, everyone is trying to win military glory. In the past two years, the Civil War completely destroyed the South. Although wars broke out afterwards, they were basically just mobilizing troops from the areas involved. In combat, it is rare for the entire army to be mobilized. Naturally, troops that have conquered an area will inevitably become slack.

"One month is the maximum deadline, because I doubt that Reposti can hold out for a month!" The fat man sighed. "No way, Reposti has just won a great victory, and the morale of the army is at its peak. Even if facing the counterattack of 100,000 enemies, I am afraid that they can resist it." Hu Keqili was shocked. "It's useless. I didn't let Reposti attack at first because of this. Once we kill tens of thousands of Harvey troops, the news will be passed back to the Harvey Kingdom. The Harvey Kingdom, which was fighting desperately against the Martin Liya people, will definitely choose to compromise with the Martin Liya people immediately, even if it means ceding land and paying compensation, cutting flesh and bleeding. The Martin Liyas are stable. Although the Martin Liyas have a secret agreement with us, if the Martin Liyas can be trusted, the Kingdom of Kalisu will not be destroyed, and the Kingdom of Harvey will not be what it is now. As far as I know, in order to expand the results of the war in the Kingdom of Harvey, the Martin Liyas have mobilized 80% of the regional lords in the country, together with the troops of the three major tribes, with a total force of more than 500,000. The first thing the Martin Liyas who have gained benefits will do is to rush to another big piece of fat meat, the southern part of the Order. With 500,000 Martin Liya troops, how long do you think Reposti can hold on? "" 500,000 Martin Liya troops, this is enough to destroy the Kingdom of Harvey. Will the Martin Liyas really stop? "Hu Keqili sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard it. "Haha, if it's just one head commanding, of course not, but don't forget, the Martin Liyas are managed by the three major tribes in turn. I believe that the next manager will not sit back and watch the current manager wipe out the Harveys. It's like eating. Naturally, you have to keep the fattest and tastiest in your own bowl. As long as two of the three major tribes agree, the remaining one will have no choice but to compromise! "The fat man showed a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. There was one thing he didn't say, that is, once the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce began to take action against the six chambers of commerce that controlled the Central Asian trade route, the Azure Chamber of Commerce would be behind His Royal Highness the Martinliya Crown Prince on the stage will definitely turn against us at the first opportunity, and the 500,000 Martinliya troops will definitely rush directly to Reposti in the south of the Church." Do we need to tell Reposti?" Hukoqili had previously strongly demanded severe punishment for Reposti, but now he is beginning to worry that Reposti will suffer a great loss." No need to tell him, I believe he will naturally understand the situation by then." The fat man shook his head and said in a serious tone: Since you have taken the initiative to start the war and want to seize this hot military merit, then the task of this bait will naturally not be avoided. If you want to become the commander of the Southern Legion of the Empire, how can you not show an impressive record that is convincing enough!
