Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

The preparations for war in the Kingdom of Basel are in full swing.

The price of tulips has skyrocketed, and as time goes by, it has officially entered the final national carnival.

Early July,

The price of tulips officially exceeded ten gold coins and reached double digits, and the room for growth was suddenly opened up.

As he looked at the reports presented to his desk one by one, Bruno naturally jumped for joy.

In fact,

It’s not just Bruno;

At all that meeting,

The Idar nobles who heard with their own ears that the Duke decided to send people to the Kingdom of Basel to sell flowers were extremely fascinated by the skyrocketing price of tulips.

turn out to be……

Selling flowers can really make the Kingdom of Basel crazy, and it can really shock the Principality of Idar.

And this also made them think about their own Duke,

Once again, there was great admiration for the young duke who ruled the vast territory in the east of the empire.

What does it mean to kill someone invisible?

What is strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away?

This is!

A small tulip,

It was actually possible to set off such a national carnival in the Kingdom of Basel, which is not far away!

To this day,

Almost every high-ranking official in Idar has many tulip flowers planted in his home.

This is of course not because they also believe in the value of tulips, but because they want to see with their own eyes... what kind of magic these tulips have!

However……

This is really just a very ordinary flower.

It seems to be no different from flowers such as Strelitzia reginae and carnations.

This……

Doesn't it reflect the Duke's unpredictable methods and forward-looking vision?

Not even just the senior officials of the Idar Principality,

Duke Stein, who personally planned the tulip bubble under the guidance of the Idar CIA, was even more impressed by Bruno's methods.

What do you say?

Although at the beginning, he was also particularly obsessed with the soaring tulips.

But……

gradually,

His barely smart brain, and his keen sense of smell for the Principality of Idar, made him aware of the danger hidden under the soaring tulips.

Once this bubble is burst,

So……

As the first nobleman in the entire Kingdom of Basel to start selling tulips on a large scale,

As a pioneer who has always advocated the value of tulips, he undoubtedly renounced himself from the Kingdom of Basel!

When he just realized this, Duke Stein was naturally sweating profusely and his spine felt chilly.

He finally understood,

Why would the Idar Principality suddenly become so generous and promise so easily to return his handle to him?

because……

By the time,

The only thing he can rely on is the Principality of Idar!

Only by being willing to be the lackey of the Idar Principality day and night can he gain a firm foothold in this land.

if not……

The anger of the nobles of Basel is enough to drown them!

at that moment,

Duke Stein was very regretful and frightened. He could not sleep at night and was frightened.

But as time went by... Duke Stein's mentality changed.

In the process of handling these things with his own hands, he saw with his own eyes the greed and stupidity of the nobles.

In the face of profits that are multiple times or even dozens of times, all rationality comes to nothing, and all truths are spontaneously covered up by people.

Moreover, he has already seen the skills of the young Duke Idar!

Rather than guarding one-third of an acre of land, perhaps only by closely following Bruno's footsteps can the Stein family have a chance to go further!

if not,

Like other Basel nobles, he will only be buried with this decadent and old kingdom the moment he reveals his military strength in the Principality of Idar!

There is a saying that although it doesn’t sound good, it is very true.

That is……

Traitors are often more hateful than invaders.

because……

In order to gain the trust of the other party, they often use the most drastic means to prove their loyalty.

Just like Ukraine decided to be a dog for NATO, Lithuania decided to be loyal to its father.

Since they were originally from the enemy camp, they could only win the favor of their old father by being more ruthless than others.

At this time, Duke Stein was exactly like this.

As a Basel nobleman, he clearly understood what the Principality of Idar meant to him.

so……

In order to make the Principality of Idar smile at him, and to make Bruno accept his obeisance with a hearty smile, Duke Stein really tried his best.

He didn't even leave a way out for himself, so he took the initiative to accept the job of selling grain to the nobles of Basel!

…

Selling food is actually not as simple as it sounds, and the process of selling food even surprised Duke Stein.

Although the Idar people know that tulips have no value at all,

But……

When selling grain, the Idar people's banner was to hope that the nobles would give priority to paying with tulips.

At the beginning, Duke Stein did have many doubts about this.

Because he and the Idar people knew very well that the price of tulips was completely driven up by speculation!

so,

If the nobles really choose to pay with tulips, it is almost equivalent to giving away the food in their hands for free!

But Duke Stein couldn't understand,

Especially when he saw that those Basel nobles would rather go to the trouble of converting tulips into coins than pay directly with tulips!

As for his question,

Krell, who is the director of the CIA in Idar, explained enthusiastically:

"If the money to buy food is a thousand gold coins, then more than a hundred tulip bulbs are enough."

"But the problem is...the value of tulips is now in the process of continuous appreciation!"

"In the view of the nobles, after a period of time, the selling price of these tulip bulbs may even reach 1,200 gold coins, or exceed 1,500 gold coins!"

"So... those who make less money will lose money. Faced with such huge profits and losses, the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel are naturally unwilling to just deliver these tulip bulbs to our hands."

"But even if you don't hand over the tulips to us, the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel can only sell tulips in exchange for gold coins." Duke Stein said.

"When their own interests suffer losses, nobles often burst out with ingenuity that they have never had before."

"Do you know what a mortgage guarantee is?"

Duke Stein nodded, then shook his head.

"They will mortgage these tulips at a discount and exchange them for gold coins, and then at some point in the future, they will use the gold coins in their hands to exchange for the mortgaged tulip bulbs."

"In short, the nobles are not willing to watch such a good money-making thing slip away from their hands so easily."

In fact,

More than just a mortgage guarantee.

Some time ago, the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel even discovered a way to make profits similar to futures contracts.

Everyone knows that the price of tulips will rise, but to what extent is unknown.

so……

All it takes is a firm delivery price and a clear delivery date, plus a reasonable, legal and recognized tulip delivery contract.

There is no need to let the nobles see tulips now, as they can spend a lot of money and push up the price of tulips.

Of course, such methods appeared on this land under the operation and guidance of the Idar people.

It is precisely with these various financial methods that the price of tulips can reach new heights again and again in such a short period of time.

…

everything……

Everything is developing in the direction Bruno wants.

But then again,

The reason why Bruno is so happy is because

Of course, it’s not just because the Principality of Idar will gain huge wealth after this gluttonous feast!

This is in poor taste!

But Bruno is a nobleman who has long since broken away from low-level tastes, regards money as dirt, and has higher pursuits and goals!

The reason why he is so happy is naturally because... the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel are one step closer to realizing their dreams!

Although the last step is impossible to achieve.

But Bruno was still truly infected by their fighting spirit and was truly happy for the Basel nobles.

after all……

Everyone is a dream chaser.

In his opinion,

Even the nobles of Basel, who are willing to engage in prostitution and gambling, still have the right to realize their dreams in life!

Only after the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel have worked hard to realize their dreams... can Bruno send them to their graves with peace of mind.

…

Mid July.

Goethe Plain in the north of the Kingdom of Basel.

The majestic Basel soldiers finally stood in front of the Basel branch of the Idar Union Savings Bank with faces full of joy, led by the Basel nobleman Virgin Pettis.

Now that we have decided to break up with the Principality of Idar, and since we have decided to launch a "sneak attack" on the Principality of Idar,

So……

It is naturally impossible for them to give up the largest treasury located in the Kingdom of Basel, owned by the Idar United Savings Bank.

after all,

No matter how stupid the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel are,

I will also be jealous of the gold coins that are sent to the Idar Union Savings Bank one after another.

so……

For the benefit of all the "people" of Basel!

In order to let the tentacles of the Principality of Idar shrink back into its own territory!

The Basel army, full of "sense of justice" and "sense of morality", finally broke into the bank with clear swords and clear swords under the horrified eyes of the people and businessmen.

Then……

They are stupid.

how to say?

The gold coins stored in the vault,

It is enough to make those who see it sad and those who listen to it cry.

because……

The treasury in front of me has already been emptied by the Idar people!

Of course, it was impossible for Bruno to ignore the Basel nobles despite knowing that they had the intention of invading the country.

The senior officials of the Idar Principality had already made necessary preparations in advance.

so……

Obviously, the Basel people missed the mark.

"Damn Idar people! They were already on guard!"

swore Wilkin Pittis angrily.

but……

Although he didn't get any money, he didn't gain anything.

For example,

They seized two large carts of spirits abandoned by the Idar people at the headquarters of the Idar Chamber of Commerce!

Then……

The pleased knights drank happily that night, and accidentally set their tent on fire, burning to death two charioteers accompanying the army...

In short,

Although the Basel Kingdom's war preparations seem quite outrageous, but...

With the help of the Idar CIA,

The army of the Kingdom of Basel was assembled in an orderly manner, and the food needed by the army was escorted to the designated location.

In short,

All war preparations are still moving forward steadily under the special care of the Principality of Idar.

…

Basel Royal Palace.

The King of Basel, Clark Poulsen, is sitting on his throne with high spirits, his face full of wrinkles and fat is full of indifference and confidence.

One of the reasons is naturally that the price of tulips has increased again.

Although he couldn't figure out why the price of tulips suddenly rose, in his opinion, this was a sign from heaven and gods!

This may mean that... in the war that I am about to launch, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net will definitely achieve a hearty victory!

The second reason is,

Naturally, it is because all the mercenary groups he hired have arrived in the north of the Kingdom of Basel and are stationed in the plains of Brother.

Demonic Moon, Nightmare Fang...

Each of these mercenary groups is a battle-experienced desperado, and they were hired by the Kingdom of Basel at a huge price!

To know,

Naturally, these mercenary groups also heard about the tulip craze that happened in the Kingdom of Basel, so...the payment was not gold or silver coins, but tulip bulbs that were in bud and rising in value!

Since I have paid such a heavy price,

Then as the king, Clark Poulsen naturally has reason to believe...

The Kingdom of Basel will inevitably win in the upcoming war, defeat its northern neighbors in one fell swoop, become famous on the mainland, and rebuild the glory of the Poulsen family! ! !

When he thought of these, Clark Poulsen suddenly felt his heart burning!

Although some minor accidents occurred during the preparation stage of the war, such as burning a camp and killing several farmers, even the raid on the Idar Union Savings Bank found nothing...

but!

Clark Poulsen firmly believes that these are just hiccups on the road to success! Failure is the mother of success!

so……

As one report after another was presented to his desk, Clark Poulsen finally said with great enthusiasm:

"Summon the envoy from the Principality of Idar immediately and declare war on the Principality of Idar!"

"The time for Basel to rise...has arrived!"

First admit your mistake,

The progress was slow today. I went out for some errands and couldn't control the rhythm well.
