Power and Empire Chapter 1892: The Queen’s War (2)

The Duke of Falcon’s Foreign Affairs Minister of the Republic of Korea feels that he has the urge to hit the wall. It’s a feng shui turn. A few days ago, he ruthlessly refused the Falcon Empire’s foreign officials’ visit request, only two or three. In the day, I have to lick my face to knock on the other side’s door, so don’t blame the other side for giving yourself such a tough closed door,

"Sir, let's smash the door open!" An accompanying foreign affairs officer looked around and felt that they were all his own, and said in a low voice with flattery

"Stupid!" Bo Fu glared helplessly at this self-confessed clever subordinate, and said angrily, "Can't you see it? The other party did this to force us to bang the door in, so that we will not only first If it’s true, and if it’s spread out, in order to negotiate with the Falcon Empire, our empire is so anxious that we need to break in. The empire’s face will be completely lost!"

"What should I do?" The foreign affairs officer looked aggrieved. "I have looked at it carefully. All the doors and windows are nailed to death with wooden slats from inside!"

"Bastards, these **** of the Falcon Empire!" Duke Beaufort yelled at him, and at this moment, a Janitor officer in charge of the security of the mansion walked over. Looking at the embarrassment on everyone’s faces, they said cautiously, "Masters, if you just want to go in, you don’t necessarily need to go in through the gate!"

"Well, do you have a good way?" Bo Fu's expression was shocked. Now as long as he doesn't break the door, he can do it even if he burrows into the ground. Even just now, if he can't find a way, he will send it at night. People go in from the chimney of the room

"My lord, the window in the fourth room on the second floor is broken, and I saw that they only nailed the door and window of the first floor!" The officer quietly stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the second floor where the doors and windows were closed." At the time, I was curious to ask them why they did this. They said it was messy recently, and they were afraid that thieves would sneak in in the middle of the night!"

"Second floor! Okay, find a ladder now!" Duke Boford, with a touch of joy on his face. He quickly ordered and said that soon, someone found a ladder from a gardener nearby. A few soldiers erected the ladder below and put it on the masonry on the second floor.

The Duke of Beaufort waved his hand to the subordinate who was scolded by him. "An Ruili, you go up first and show them our intentions on behalf of the empire! We are here to negotiate, not to go to war! As long as they ’S intrusion stopped immediately, everything is negotiable!"

"I...I will go!"

The foreign affairs officer pointed a finger at himself, and the whole person stayed there, his face turned pale. Said with a crying voice

"My lord, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate. Once you climb up, it doesn’t take half a day. The fact that the dignified foreign affairs officer needs to climb the ladder to enter the negotiation will become the laughing stock of everyone! And this is similar to the negotiation conditions that can be negotiated. , It is destined that as long as it spreads out, it will be drowned in saliva by the entire empire!!"

The Duke of Beaufort roared furiously, his eyes fired, and loudly said, "Abandon your own glory for the sake of the country. This is a rule that a country’s foreign affairs officer must know. The national interest is above all else! Enjoy the wealth of the country and get everyone’s Respect, but you are unwilling to bear even a small sacrifice. A foreign affairs officer like you is the moth of the country. You can choose to be drowned in saliva later or I will order your head to be cut off now!"

"Okay, I'll go!" The foreign affairs officer looked ugly as if his wife had just died. Slowly climbed up the long ladder with both hands and feet. At this moment, the door suddenly opened from inside! A middle-aged man is wearing a black dress. It seemed that he was about to go out, but his gaze was stunned to see that a group of gangsters gathered outside his door. Not far away, there was a long ladder on the wall.

The middle-aged man's lips trembled. "What else do you want to do? Everything is sold, and the money is sent back. We have nothing worthy of you to steal. I didn't expect the Gang Fei robbers to be in the daytime. The fire is going to the point where there is still a guard at the door, the security is really terrible!"

"Robber!" Duke Boford was stunned, his face black like the bottom of a pot, and his face was hot,

Climbing up to negotiate is one thing, being caught face-to-face and climbing stairs is another thing. Years of foreign affairs experience has made him very thick-skinned. He coughed a few times and said, "Please don't get me wrong, we are not robbers, I It’s Duke Burford, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Congo, I want to meet Sidney, the Liaison Officer of the Falcon Empire in Congo,

"Are you Lord Bofu?

The middle-aged man appeared shocked, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he looked at Duke Boford for a while. All the faces of Gang Fei who were irritated were like fire burning. It seemed that the identity of the other party was finally confirmed. The young man said apologetically, I'm sorry, I am Sidney, the Liaison Officer of the Falcon Empire in Congo!

"You are Sidney! Great!" Bo Fu heard that the person in front of him was the liaison officer of the Falcon Empire, and immediately put on a serious face, tidyed up his collar, and was well-dressed and **** the drake The ordinary voice said, "Your Excellency Sidney, I now formally protest on behalf of our country and demand that the Falcon Empire immediately stop its rude and barbaric invasion of our country!"

"A rude and brutal invasion?"

Sidney pretended to be silent for a while, his face was ugly, and he said slowly

"Sorry, I didn’t understand what you mean. In fact, I haven’t gone out for six days. The report we submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Gangfei has not been replied for more than 11 days. There are still Many people chanted the slogan of defeating the Falcon Empire, but now you are telling me that you are asking us to immediately stop the military invasion of your country. How do you want us to understand this?"

"This..." Duke Beaufort's face turned red and white, and every word of the other party was like a whip on his face, hot and painful

Sidney still didn’t mean to stop talking, shrugged his shoulders. "I thought your country had forgotten us! As for the war, I also just received a letter from the Princess Turritt of our country asking your country for 1 .12 incident to give a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, our country will declare war! If your country really wants an explanation, then this is our country’s explanation!"

"Will declare war?, Sir Sidney is joking with us? Your country has hit Baruta, three hundred miles away, and invaded our country one hundred miles away, and the 1.12 incident is our own. Why do you want to explain to the Falcon Empire!" An accompanying Gangfei officer said angrily.

"Unfortunately, this is what our country requires! A simple explanation can eliminate the conditions of a war. Does it seem that difficult?

"I thought your Congress was just as excited about the generosity of our country as I was. Who knew it would be like this..." Sidney glanced over Gang Fei. Rolling my eyes, it means that you don’t need to explain. In fact, we are not interested in your explanation. All we need is an excuse to start a war!

"No, don't get me wrong, in fact, we are ready to give your country a reasonable explanation!" Bofu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Congo, said hurriedly

"Really, that’s great. Our Royal Highness will represent my majesty in two days. Participating in the funeral of Prince Nadu of your country is the highest standard in our country. I hope your country’s explanation will be At that time, the princess can be satisfied, otherwise, don’t mention anything like stopping the invasion. You and I know well why the army of our empire will not declare war!"

"You..." The officer was angrily speechless

Sidney raised his eyebrows and his voice paused. The tone suddenly became severe and chilling. "Don’t say I didn’t remind you, this princess is one of my majesty’s favorites. The original war with Gangfei was actually caused by the princess. If your majesty In Congo, I have suffered a little bit of damage. I can guarantee that the 200,000 cavalry of my Falcon Empire on the northern border of Congo and Africa will converge with the Istanbul people to go south. At that time, even if there are millions of blood, It may not be able to calm my majesty’s anger!"

"What, the princess of your country is coming to attend the funeral of Prince Dunad!"

This time. Even Bo Fu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gangfei, was able to swallow a toad with an open mouth. The concubine of the Emperor of the Falcon Empire had to attend the funeral on behalf of the Emperor, and there were 60,000 troops ready to go. Are you attending a funeral? Or forced by force! Trouble, big trouble! Bo Fu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, suddenly felt a chill burst from his tail vertebra to the top of his head.

With years of experience in foreign affairs, he clearly felt a huge crisis that could destroy the country.

It doesn’t matter whether this imperial princess is the one that the Falcon Emperor loves the most. What’s important is that this is the princess of the Falcon Empire. If anything unexpected happens, it is tantamount to giving the Falcon Empire an excuse for a full-scale war. At that time, it was not just the tens of thousands of troops in the south. The falcon empire emperor thunderous and furious would definitely join forces with the Istanbul people to crush the Congolese empire into slag. Before the pressure formed by the two most powerful empires in Luo area, it is estimated that they did not even have the courage to gnaw.

The news was reported and immediately delivered to Emperor Gangfei, and an emergency imperial meeting was held again that day,

At the meeting, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Congo, the Imperial Marshal Marcos asked all parties to make every effort to ensure the safety of the Princess of the Falcon Empire,

The ministers at the meeting also expressed their views that they will never put the country in danger because of private enmity

Even the seven-year-old little emperor made a ruthless remark: "If any one party acts as a personal grievance that endangers the entire empire, then I will not hesitate to take everyone’s heads, as well as the heads of their families, To quell the anger of the Falcon King" suffocated! The nervousness of the Congolese Empire is almost broken,

From the emperor to the minister, for the arrival of the country’s greatest enemy, the princess of the Falcon Empire, they had to make a foolproof guarantee. For this purpose, they even set up a special defense army with a total of 3,000 soldiers. , Under the guidance of Sidney, the Liaison Officer of the Falcon Empire, first went to meet the imperial princess who made the entire imperial imperial enemy.

The spring sun began to become warm. At the sentries all over Besuka city, countless archers stood on the ceilings on both sides of the street and looked down. Even the streets were under day martial law, and the previous shouts were overthrown. The parade of the Falcon Empire disappeared for an instant. Suddenly, the sentry heard the sound of wheels crushing the road.

The sentry watched nervously below, but soon, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and the sound of his hoofs was clear. I saw a team of cavalry holding the blue iron anchor of the Strand Sea State, with the word The queue is entering the city from the main gate of Besuka City. Guarding the cavalry in the middle is a gorgeous dazzling carriage.

The whole car was dazzling in the sun up and down, almost staring at it, unable to open its eyes. This is a carriage inlaid with gems of various colors, large and small. If it is walking in a busy city, it must be a sensation, but right now. Except for the very dissatisfied gaze of the bow and arrow sentry on the roof, almost no one paid attention to it, because there was no one on the street except the army, and the army’s gaze only stopped on the blue iron anchor flag. Not at all interested

Although Gangfei has fallen, it is also an empire at any rate. It really does not have much respect for regional sea nations like Strand.

In the carriage, a gorgeous woman was looking out of the carriage with a stupefied expression. His eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and on the empty street, only the wind rolled up things on the ground,

Miss! I just asked about it. It seems that a noble person will be here today, so the whole city is under martial law. In order to ensure absolute safety, even our heads are densely covered with archers! "On the other side of the woman, a maid sent away cautiously replied.

"Zi Yani, you immediately find a way to figure out the identity of that person, I want to know, is it among the people attending the funeral this time. There are people who are more noble than me?" Beautiful female face A gloomy anger flashed on the top, ten Qianqian fingers clenched together,

Participating in the funeral of Prince Dunad of the Congolese Empire this time is a major strategic move of the Strand Sea State. It was also the woman's proposal to dispatch this luxury carriage, which is inexpensive to build, in order to cause a major sensation during the funeral. Furthermore, it showed the strong financial and material resources of the Strand Sea State, and attracted enough attention for the strategic transformation of the sea state’s land. Who knows that it is such a deserted situation now. The most critical first step is to step on it. When you get to the empty space, if you don’t make this naturally intelligent woman who wants to be the first to speak out, she will have a feeling of vomiting blood

Soon, the maid came back again, her face looked even more ugly

"Have you figured out who it is?" The woman's cold expression made the temperature in the car several degrees lower, and her black dress was like a huge flower spreading over the whole car,

"I've heard clearly, I heard that it is a princess of the Falcon Empire who will represent the Emperor Falcon to participate in this funeral!" The maid's face was pale and her body trembled and said,

"Falcon Empire?"

The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gang Fei was so nervous, it turned out to be for a princess of the Falcon Empire! Then she felt a trace of anger, the first lady of her own dignified Strand Sea State, is she still inferior to a princess? Who does not know that the emperor of the Falcon Empire is so romantic. It is said that there are as many as ten princesses alone.

The Falcon Empire is a business ally of the Strand Sea State, but this relationship has been terminated a month ago. It was her own lady who proposed in the Sea State Council that "The Falcon Empire’s ambition to occupy the inner sea has been exposed, so Not only is it not an ally of Strand, it will soon become the biggest enemy of the naval powers in the inland sea hegemony! The naval nations should do their best to prevent the Falcon Empire from entering the inland seas by various means!"

This statement finally won the support of most of the sea state councillors, and the sea state’s strategy began to change,

In fact, although the sea countries have earned a lot from the trade with the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire’s maritime caravan entered the inland sea under the banner of the sea country, and it has also taken away the trade of many sea countries. The trade conflicts between the two countries are becoming obvious, and the attitudes of the sea countries towards the Falcon Empire are also changing drastically, from trading partners to trading competitors.

"Interesting!" Something seems to come to mind,

The corner of this woman's mouth giggled coldly,

The heart of the Falcon Empire’s entry into the Inland Sea is clear. Now the Strand Sea State is not the only country that doesn’t like the Falcon Empire.

Three-quarters of the countries participating in the funeral this time are countries in coastal areas. If the princess of the Falcon Empire was attacked by representatives of the countries participating in the funeral when attending the funeral, then it must be It is a very wonderful picture! Who told this woman to dare to steal her limelight, so it's not bad to let her become a mockery of the nations!

"That's really a poor woman! That's the price of being my Turret's enemy!" The woman curled her mouth slightly, patted the roof of the car with her hand, and ordered the driver "Go to us Strand" For the mansion I bought by myself, I want to hold a banquet tonight to let everyone know how much wealth I have brought to them!"

In another all-black carriage thirty miles away from Besuka, Turritt Colleen gently closed a ledger with his fingers.

I raised my head and looked at a graceful middle-aged lady on the opposite side, and asked solemnly, "I didn’t expect that if these ledgers are recorded correctly, that means, in the past ten years~IndoMTL.com~内海商業Already concentrated, 70% of which are the Strand Sea State, and the total share of several other countries is less than 30%"

"This is indeed the case. Although they are all inland sea countries, inland sea pirates are densely populated, and many of them are counterfeit by the national navy! Except for the Strand Sea State's fleet, which can penetrate deep into the inland sea, and even go directly to the open sea, fleets of other countries Most of them will be attacked when they leave the coastal zone"

The middle-aged lady replied with a respectful look, "Especially after the Strand Sea State and the Empire signed a business alliance, with the help of the Falcon Empire’s commerce line throughout the northern central Obaro, the Strand Sea State The market share in the coastal areas has increased to 75%, which has caused the sea trade of the inland sea countries to shrink again. However, the Strent Sea State Caravan is very clever. They always use the commercial channels of the Falcon Empire. Therefore, all coastal countries believe that if the fleet of the Falcon Empire is allowed to enter the inland sea, it will be a disaster for the inland sea commerce!"

"Hehe, planting the blame, this looks like the second sister's handwriting!"

Turritt Collin smiled faintly, opened the driving curtain and glanced out. On both sides of the carriage are three thousand Falcon Empire Central Army cavalry. The soldiers are rigorous, and the black armor is like a cloud. The front and the back are 1,500. Human Gangfei Imperial Guards, the setting sun in the distance shines on the metal armors of the soldiers on both sides, like red flowing clouds flowing (to be continued...)
