Realm of Power

After exchanging pleasantries, Owitt, an old fox, deliberately summoned only a few children who didn’t know much about Rila’s background in order to show that Rila Kingdom was financially bankrupt.

The banquet was held in the relatively remote "White Feather Palace". Although the dishes were exquisite and the wines served with the dishes were some of Fatty's favorite flavors, the specifications were also in the form of a family banquet and had nothing to do with a state banquet. This is Switzerland. It is an old palace where the royal family does not receive foreign guests. Both the furnishings and the appearance give people a bleak feeling.

This shows that Owitt did not want to spread the news that the emperor secretly visited the capital of Rila, and even there were not many people there.

"His Majesty Falcon arrived suddenly, and I didn't have time to summon the other royal family members. Owitt wrinkled his old face, with a hint of shame in his expression. He was ashamed to say it." As a descendant of the Ruila royal family, he is not allowed to do it now. If you don’t farm and work by yourself, you may not even be able to eat.”

Hearing Owitt's words, the fat man also cursed in his heart. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he realized that these royal children were all looking disheveled and malnourished.

The fat man looked at it in surprise. Although he knew that this old fox's acting skills were top-notch, he never expected that he had reached such a level. It was obvious that he had just received the news that he was coming, so he hurriedly looked for someone, and he could still find him. This shameless thing is indeed worthy of His Majesty Owitt, who claims to rely on his daughter to pay off his debts.

"I didn't expect that the Rila Kingdom would be so difficult. As the monarch of the suzerain country, I decided to reduce the debt of the Rila Kingdom by 500,000 yuan. I wonder if it will help?" The fat man sighed and shook his head, and said at the banquet with emotion. He sat down at the long table and looked at Owitt across from him.

At the beginning of this year, the Rila Kingdom suffered heavy snowfall, and Fatty also knew about it. However, if this led to the near-collapse of Rila's agriculture, that would be too impossible. How could Fatty not be able to see that this time, being such a shrewd person? Owitt, an old fox, obviously doesn't like the empire, so Although he ordered the release of the Rila border and allowed the imperial army to move in, he chose to remain neutral in the upcoming war instead of sending troops to assist the empire in fighting, and he did not want the Rila royal family to be involved in this war. Even if they have a little connection, they are not even willing to give them any supplies or rations.

"Reducing the debt? Haha, I think it's better not to use it." Owitt raised his eyebrows slightly and actually expressed his refusal. The half-million-yuan empire debt reduction would be false if he said he wasn't interested, but this time it was different. Although the empire was strong, , but the Kingdom of Biang was the controller of Barro in Central Europe more than two hundred years ago. Although it fell due to the Hungarian invasion, it was also the leader of Barro in Central Europe after all. It once led the Barro countries in Central Europe to resist foreigners tenaciously. Invasion still has a place in the hearts of all countries

The Sunrise Chamber of Commerce went up the coast, used the Imperial Thunder God to surrender Fort Locke, and destroyed Anthea without declaring war. With the power of a chamber of commerce, the Central European Barrow was disgraced. For the Central European Barrow countries, It is a humiliation. No matter what the attitude is towards these two forces, they are always the Central European Barro forces. The Central European Barro countries can control the east and west. The gap between the big forces has continued to this day because although the countries are full of contradictions, they also know the truth of the bitterness. Once Rila expresses its support for the empire this time, the reputation of the Rila Kingdom in Barro in Central Europe will be ruined, and the Rila people are the most vulnerable. The cherished name of a hero is afraid that it will be replaced by the lackeys of the empire, so although Owitt is tempted, he will never dare to agree.

Because the empire has indeed gone too far this time. What the empire has provoked is the entire Central European Barro

At present, there is a tremor in Barrow in Central Europe. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Empire have entered Barrow in Central Europe. The Kingdom of Biang, which the Empire is aiming at, cannot wait to be strangled by the Empire. Notices of nationwide mobilization are posted in the streets. The standing army, which originally numbered 160,000, suddenly expanded to 300,000.

This time, the banner of restoring glory was used, which immediately set off an anti-imperial trend in Biang.

After more than ten years of recuperation, only four minor conflicts were fought. Once they rose up, the potential displayed was amazing. The weapons and equipment, and the quality of the soldiers were completely in line with the strength that a regional power should have, and the empire was in The war in the south has also changed. Hundreds of thousands of Martin fangs have tortured half of the Kingdom of Harvey. After Bi Jiangshan, the entire line moved north, with the military front pointing directly at the Order State, with the intention of annexing the Order State in one fell swoop. Although the Empire had an absolute advantage in this battle, it would have to pay a high price if it wanted to defeat the Bion people. It would be extremely tragic, and with the war in the south going on at the same time, it was destined that the empire would not be able to station its military forces in Central Europe for a long time.

When the time comes, the empire is gone, what will Rila do?

"It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true. His Majesty Owitt is really not optimistic that our empire can win this battle!"

The fat man smiled disapprovingly. This old fox was indeed cunning, and he would not be fooled. If the old fox really promised to reduce the empire's debt by 500,000 yuan, then as long as the news spread, the Kingdom of Ruila would be unable to argue, no matter how reluctant the old fox was. , which is tantamount to being forcibly tied to the empire in this battle. In the car, after all, the Empire is still an outsider in Barro in Central Europe. If Rila, the country that was once the leader of Barro in Central Europe, can side with the Empire, it will have a considerable impact on the Empire in this war. Using the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, Line, forcing the Central European Barrow region to automatically take sides. This was the purpose of Fatty releasing the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce.

It’s just that Fatty never thought that the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce would suffer such a disastrous defeat. A fire in Melbourne Port burned half of the ships and troops of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, and also put an end to this war that should have waited until the empire was fully prepared. Suddenly ahead of schedule

"Your Majesty Falcon is joking. It's not that I'm not optimistic about the Empire's war. I'm afraid it's the same for Your Majesty." "Otherwise, why would you come in secret instead of visiting me directly in an open and honest manner?" Owitt turned away from his seat. He tilted his head and used a fork to cut a piece of fat roast beef into pieces. Put the meat into your mouth, chew it slowly, and suddenly smile at the corner of your mouth, "In the final analysis, the empire still does not regard me, Ruila, as one of its own, how can I, Ruila, serve the empire?" Haha, I was negligent, five hundred thousand The empire's debt is really low, how about two million? "The fat man's eyes flashed, thinking that the old fox was not interested. It seemed that the benefits were not enough.

"Two million?" Owitt's thick face moved slightly, and the hand holding the fork stopped.

Although it is an excuse to say that the country of Rila is difficult, it is also the actual situation. The Hungarians destroyed almost half of Rila, and the population losses were huge. It was impossible to recover in just two years, so the fat man came along the way. Weeds abound in the wastelands that we see even in the royal capital. There is really a shortage of labor. In addition, that war almost wiped out half of Rila's men, and the young and middle-aged people suffered heavy losses.

"If your Majesty agrees, our empire can purchase food and supplies from Rila at a price that is twice the market price." The fat man said word by word with a calm expression. If all the supplies for the empire's more than 100,000 troops are shipped from the empire, although The price is much cheaper, but after accounting for transportation costs and travel time The loss is far more than three times that of buying grain directly from the local area. Buying grain directly from Ruila can not only bring benefits to Ruila, but also save the cost of the imperial army. Anyway, it costs money, and it is not given to anyone. , this kind of good thing that benefits both parties can also completely tie Ruila to the empire's chariot.

"His Majesty Falcon, I believe he has seen it. Since the Hungarian Rebellion has severely damaged our country's national strength, and the empire has been burdened with tens of millions of debts, there was a heavy snowfall at the beginning of this year. The domestic economy has almost collapsed, and the domestic farmland is full of weeds. Land, even if the empire is willing to buy my Ruila's food, I still have no food to sell." Owitt smiled bitterly, saying that there was really nothing he could do. It wasn't that he didn't sell it, but that he simply didn't have it.

"The Kingdom of Rila may not have it, but if I remember correctly, Hart and Navinson in Rila have a great harvest, and now because almost all the ports in the Barrow region of Central Europe are closed, the food cannot be sold at all, so this It is said that the food in both countries can only rot in the ground." The fat man picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth.

"The empire purchases grain from Ruila at twice the price. This is an agreement between you and me. As for where the food comes from and what price Ruila bought it for, am I still going to care about this!"

"Haha, His Majesty Falcon is indeed a happy person. This matter has been settled. This time the empire's war against the Biang people will be counted on me, Ruila. Although my country, Ruila, is in a difficult situation, the strength of more than 10,000 people is still It can be dispatched!" Owitt's old face was red with excitement, and his nose was heavy.

It was too tempting for him to forgive the two million empire debt. If Rila had to repay the empire's debt for fifty years before, now it only takes forty years. Selling grain from the Rila area made it even more difficult for him. Reject, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, how can it be possible without two to three million in food? Ruila only needs to change hands from it, which is a profit of millions , this is definitely a timely rain for the economy of the Ruela Kingdom, which is on the verge of turmoil due to reduced food production due to heavy snow at the beginning of the year. It can not only solve the domestic food crisis, but also make a fortune. For Owitt, who had dragged Rayla into such a situation, Rayla's fifty-year debt had become a worry.

Owitt said ferociously, "Actually, I have long been dissatisfied with the Biang people. If they hadn't taken the initiative to give way to the southern road, how could the Hungarian army have entered from my unprepared southern front and killed more than a million Rui?" It’s time to settle the accounts of driving people into slavery.”

Taking Owitt's expression into his eyes, Fatty knew that Rilla was basically fine. Even if she might not contribute much in this war, at least she would not hinder the Empire, and it was equivalent to solving the Empire's ten Logistical issues for Yu Wan’s army , otherwise just the logistical pressure of the army would be enough to overwhelm the entire south of Congo. "I heard that Your Majesty has a relationship with the Medici family in Fort Locke?" The fat man blinked, to Owitt's surprise. asked "Two of my wives are from The Medici family of Fort Locke, and Fort Locke is the entrance to the inland sea of ​​our Kingdom of Rilla, and their cooperative relationship has lasted for 150 years. I just didn’t know that His Majesty Falcon asked this question because he wanted to see the Medicis for something. Home? "Owitt to other The royal family members who were dining raised their hands, and everyone immediately stood up and walked out of the banquet hall. In front of them was the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Ruila. It didn't matter to these royal children, but what happened behind it might be quite secretive. , Owitt from Otherwise, I will not let these royal children stay. Once the news leaks out, the fat guy opposite will really get angry, and I am afraid that I will have to bear the pain and secretly execute all these royal children." If possible, I hope to go to the Medici Home! "Fat man put it" He put down the fork in his hand, his face became serious for the first time, and he did not say anything more, "I can arrange it!" After being slightly stunned, Owitt did not continue to ask, and nodded. After saying this, he looked at the emperor. That calm face, thinking of this moment In the eyes of this emperor, the entire Central European Barrow is his meal, and he can't help but sigh and feel a little disappointed in his heart. He has struggled all his life, and all he wants is for Rila to rise and become one of the great powers on the mainland. But with the situation in front of him, This young man did it Compared with everything, I have to sigh, I am really old. After all, he is also a hero of the generation. He changed his mind, gathered his thoughts, waved his hands gently, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow morning , I will send someone to pick up Your Majesty."

Could this old fox want to do something? The fat man couldn't help muttering in his heart. The old fox's smile was so weird, it felt like his conspiracy had succeeded.

The light mist in the early morning was still flowing like smoke in the wilderness outside the capital of Rila. A carriage with the mark of the Rila royal family left the capital of Rila under the escort of two thousand imperial guards. The fat man put down the curtain of the car window, took a deep breath, and looked at the two pretty figures sitting opposite him. No wonder the old fox had such an expression yesterday. Sure enough, he made a move, and he couldn't refuse it.

Seeing the emperor looking over, one of the women with snow-white skin and a cold temperament mixed with an indescribable enchantment trembled slightly. She wore an elegant bright yellow low-cut skirt, paired with a tight-fitting Black silk pants, with small pearl earrings hanging on her ears, like swans, thin On the long and graceful neck, there is a delicate silver chain faintly flashing, and the hair about a foot long is draped on the round and attractive shoulders. One is already quite attractive, let alone two beauties who almost look very similar. In terms of temperament, the two are completely opposite. One is cold and the other is enchanting.

The long road is naturally best accompanied by a beautiful woman

This is the guide sent by the old fox to assist the Medici family, Princess Samaritan and Princess Visi of the Kingdom of Rilla. They are the daughters of the two sisters from the Medici family, with the royal family of Rilla and the Medici family. With two families of blood, no wonder he was smiling so proudly yesterday
