Power and Empire Chapter 2549: Empire Gale) 24)
The cold winter sea breeze blew on the face of the special envoy of Paput. Upon learning that it was an envoy from the Kingdom of Paput, the carriage was quickly put into Rilang City, and news of the arrival of the special envoy of Paput was also quick. “Reporting” Standing on the streets of Rilang City, Paput’s special envoy Kudirul saw the clouds of the sails of the imperial battleships except for the location of the port, and there was hardly any big difference.
There is no sign of the imperial army advancing in depth, and no martial law measures have been taken on the streets. Although most of the imperial soldiers come and go, they do not seem to be as rumored by the outside world, the emperor* *Every place I went was scraped three feet of the ground, and there was no grass. On the contrary, I saw the Anmin notice posted on the street entrance clearly stated that any acts of looting citizens would be sent to the inspection team. This special envoy was secretly relieved. Tone, it’s easy to say anything. It’s a mere Rilang city. If the Falcon Empire wants it, just take it. Even the dozens of miles north of Paput near the coast can also be ceded, as long as the empire does not advance inland. As long as the chaos in the south stabilizes, the Paput Kingdom still has a chance to retake these places! In fact, those southern countries may not have put Paput in their eyes. Thinking of this, Kudiruul felt a little pale, but he was so dark that he couldn’t see it. The most important thing now is to stay steady. Empire, it can only be like this
Soon, he saw an imperial general with several entourages riding from a distance. The general looked hideous and had a bald head. He was blind in one eye and was wearing a sleeveless lock armor. , Even far away, the other party’s momentum like a beast came out of the cage also made Kudiruur secretly startled, saying that the soldiers of the Falcon Empire are the most terrifying fighters on this continent. It seems that it’s not nonsense, he I don’t know who this imperial general is, but his instinct is telling him that this person is dangerous, especially when the other’s eyes are on him, the kind of pressure brought by him is like facing a sharp edge, making him realize This is a battle-tested fighter, undoubtedly
"I am the special envoy of the Paput Kingdom, and I want to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
"A special envoy of a second-rate kingdom. What qualifications do you have to meet your Majesty the Emperor!"
Saron stopped the horse, stopped a few meters in front of Paput’s envoy, looked up and down, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth. "If you are here to negotiate. Then go back immediately and tell you the truth, Pap. The imperial detainees of the Imperial Bank by the Kingdom of Tehran without authorization made His Majesty the Emperor quite indignant. He has seen someone bold. I have never seen someone like Paput, who dares to move the Imperial Bank and knows who the boss of the Imperial Bank is. Is it?"
"It was just a misunderstanding. After learning about the situation, our country immediately released all the people from the Imperial Bank, and also severely punished the officials involved." Kudirul's face was slightly pale, and something appeared on his forehead. Khan, the Empire started a war against Paput because of the Empire Bank, and Paput immediately sent someone to understand the background of the Empire Bank. As a result, the report obtained made the entire King Paput almost fry the pot.
Imperial Bank’s backing is too big. The person on the facade turned out to be Socutus Delan, who has the title of queen in the business community in the northern part of the mainland. This name was not known to many people in the south before, but no one knows the previous few months. The woman who swept the southern economy with the rich and powerful funds of the enemy is called Socutus Delan. That woman now controls 30% of the southern chamber of commerce. This kind of power is enough to launch an economy against any southern country. War, and this woman is just a businessman, but she has an embarrassing imperial background. The imperial navy and the imperial army seem to be able to adjust to the east, and once held the largest commercial organization on the entire continent, the commercial alliance.
After finding out that the imperial bank was behind this woman, the Paput Kingdom knew it hit the iron plate. The energy of this woman was definitely not something Paput of a second-rate kingdom could provoke.
"What you said is true?" Saron deliberately pretended to be accidental, as if he just knew it. In fact, every move of the Paput Kingdom has long been under the surveillance of the imperial spy. It’s true that the detainees were released, but when it comes to severe punishment, that’s nonsense. The black prime minister who led the matter did nothing but arrested a sheriff and removed him.
"I haven't consulted your name yet" Kudirul saw that the imperial general was still good at talking, and asked cautiously. In his opinion, the identity of the one-eyed general in front of him should not be simple. If he can come forward to coordinate, That couldn't be better!
"My name is Salon and I am the governor of the southwestern region of the Falcon Empire. To be honest, I also think that your country should be a misunderstanding. If it weren't for my urge to your Majesty not to advance, you think there is still a chance to come to Rilang. Cheng? From Rilang City to Paput’s capital, it’s at most within a week!” Salong grinned, smiled stupidly, and swept away the face he wanted to make a serious questioning, but revealed a few things. In the sense of pity, Salong thinks that he has been in the southwest for a few years and he is not a fool. The level of abduction and abduction has reached the level of perfection. Others don’t know that the boss of the Imperial Bank is His Majesty Falcon. He is the confidant of the emperor. How can I not know? Since His Majesty the Emperor wants to take this opportunity to push the Imperial Bank to the forefront, then as a confidant, he naturally spares no effort
"My lord is the Cyclops General Saran!"
Kudirul heard the name of Salon, took a breath, almost lost his voice, the corners of his eyebrows were twitching, the feeling was like being bitten by a poisonous snake, how could he not expect it, the one-eyed empire The general, isn’t it the Cyclops, Saron? This man is also a fierce man in the south. He is the number one murderer under the emperor of the Falcon Empire. I heard that the Gauls who killed in the northern Gaul region are rolling with their heads, so that they can make children. The degree of stopping crying was even more entrusted by the Falcon Emperor. He was seated in the most prosperous southwestern area of the empire. If the powerful officials of the Northern Falcon Empire were to be ranked first, Saron’s entire name would definitely appear in the top three, hunting. The Eagle Emperor actually called this murderous military general, and Kudirul felt a little dizzy in his head. As for what Saron said later, he didn’t hear clearly.
"If Saron-sama can help me meet Your Majesty Falcon, our country will not treat you badly!: After knowing that the imperial general in front of me is Saron, one of the most important generals of the empire, Kudirul is drowning. People want to grab the last straw. Saron has already arrived, and the butcher knife of the imperial army may be raised at any time. If he still cannot see the Falcon Emperor, then the entire Paput will face catastrophe, the Falcon Emperor **The elite warrior known as the number one on the mainland, once it starts to advance inland, it will take at most a week. King Paput will be on the ground!
"Any benefit? Haha, well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will tell you a way to see your Majesty soon." Salong's mouth smiled. He was sent by the fat man to scare the Paput people. Of course, he knew that if the Empire Bank was to be completely promoted in the south, Paput took the initiative to help, but the effect was much better than being put on the neck by the Empire.
"My lord, please say it!" There was a touch of joy on Kudirul's face, and he was so excited that he was so lucky that he actually touched Salon, who is the confidant of the Emperor Falcon, revealed The news must be able to meet the emperor of the Falcon Empire
"Since you have investigated the Imperial Bank, you should be clear about what the Imperial Bank does." Salong waved his hand to the men behind him, let all of them stop in place, and then pulled Kudirul to a place. No one's place. He whispered, "Since you want to be forgiven by your majesty, why not start with the Imperial Bank!"
"The imperial bank started?" Kudirul was taken aback. The Paput Kingdom did investigate the imperial bank after the incident and learned that the main business of the imperial bank was to provide loans to the royal family and ministers.
"Are you saying that our country took the initiative to ask for loans?" At this moment, when Salon said this, Kudiruul couldn't help but shudder. Yeah, why didn't I think that the Falcon Empire was because of the imperial bank. War against Paput, then if the Kingdom of Paput proposes to lend to the Imperial Bank. Not only will the Falcon Empire not continue to fight, it may even take the initiative to narrow the relationship with the Paput Kingdom
As a second-rate kingdom in the south, the Paput Kingdom can even send off the princess in order to rely on the Faze people. It is also necessary to endure the harsh requirements of the Fazer people, and Fazer is completely incomparable compared with the Falcon Empire!
One is only a powerful southern country, and the other is the first empire that unified the northern and central continents. Now, as long as you are willing to borrow money from the Empire Bank, you can eliminate the catastrophe of the war. It is even possible to form a hidden ally with the Falcon Empire. Compared with the conditions of Fazer's marriage, this is simply not known how many times better!
Loans are things like repaying if you have money, and dragging if you don’t have money. It has no major impact on the royal family and nobles, and it is also explained in the Imperial Bank business.
Loans can be mortgaged with taxes and land and minerals. If part of the power is mortgaged, you can still receive a large amount of money, which is 10,000 times better than being wiped out by others!
I figured this out, Kudi Luton was grateful, and he felt deeply that the rumors from the outside world were too unreliable. How could such a thoughtful character like Cyclops be rumored to be a murderous arrogant general!
"I knew, you are a wise man!" Salon's aim was achieved, and he patted Kudirul on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "That's all I can help you. The army should be in three days. It’s up to you whether you can turn the tide or not."
When I heard that there was only three days, Kudirul dared to delay, and immediately sent a subordinate to return to the capital as quickly as possible, and reported this method. On the third day, he was anxious. Kudirul saw the men who had rushed back from the capital, and the dusty servant had no time to wash his face, so he immediately took out a document from his arms and handed it to Kudirul, panting. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has agreed. , The kingdom is willing to take the kingdom’s ten-year tax as collateral, and loan five million gold coins to the Falcon Empire! At the same time, as long as the Falcon Empire can see minerals and ports, they can all be mortgaged.
"What!" Despite his psychological preparation, Kudirul was shocked by the news. The kingdom’s tax revenue for ten years was definitely more than 5 million gold coins. At first, he only thought that he might promise to mortgage the port. His Majesty the King actually Even the National Minerals has promised to mortgage,
Be aware that the Paput Kingdom is a highland kingdom with rich mineral resources. It is a well-known large mining area in the south. Therefore, the kingdom has always controlled the minerals strictly, especially a kind of iron ore that is a specialty of the Paput Kingdom. , It is the precious material for forging the sharp Aden scimitar,
But even this, the king promised to be used as collateral,
It's crazy, it's all crazy! , Kudiruul was afraid that his subordinates might have misrepresented him, so he quickly accepted the authorization document from his subordinates, swept his eyes, and suddenly took a breath.
Nothing wrong, this is definitely a genuine authorization document
The seal of King Ruth II clearly falls on it, and there are also a series of seals from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Finance, which shows that this document has been approved by both the military and the finance. Kudiruul felt entangled in his heart.
If the loan was originally proposed to eliminate this war, but now, he feels a great sense of crisis, why! How could the king propose such a loan plan? Five million loans, and various mortgages, I’m afraid it’s more than seven or eight million,
What does the king want so much money for? And in this document, what is going on with the requirement to use part of the funds to purchase up to 30,000 infantry suits from the Falcon Empire?
Kudirul doesn’t think that the Paput Kingdom has more confidence to fight against the Falcon Empire because of the 30,000 more infantry.
What's 30,000, 700,000 of the Southern Allied Forces did not stop the massacre of the Emperor!
As long as His Majesty the King has a trace of normalcy~IndoMTL.com~, I will never have such an idea! In other words, these 30,000 sets of infantry equipment are used for other purposes!
"Tell me, what the **** is going on?" Kudirul looked at his subordinates who had been running for a day and night. He felt that something must have happened to the king during the time he was leaving!
"Your Majesty immediately held a meeting after receiving the report from the lord. I heard that at the meeting, the Military Affairs Department proposed a battle against the Kingdom of Lisri. That's all I know!" The subordinate looked ugly and low. Head, after listening to his subordinates, Kudirul was silent,
Obviously, because he suddenly realized that he might get a huge sum of money, the ambition of King Ruth II of Paput who had been stranded due to financial distress, suddenly swelled. In order to annex the Kingdom of Lisri, he did not hesitate to send his own daughter to win Feize people,
And this time, you can get a large amount of funds in a short period of time only by pressing on some painless taxation. However, because of the imperial naval forces, Fei Ze is unable to take care of a small vassal country. This is exactly what Pa The best fighter plane that the Puteh Kingdom has been looking forward to is where the current Puteh Kingdom is up and down, because of the huge sums of money that may be obtained, and ambitious!
Just thinking that this deal was actually made by himself, Kudirul felt that he shouldn't have come! (To be continued.)
