Power and Empire Chapter 2550: Imperial Wind (25)
After getting the Paput Kingdom loan application form to the Empire Bank, the fat man did not immediately agree, but gave the application to Socutus Delan. The Paput Kingdom mentioned the purchase in the content of the negotiations. Weapons, and there are still a considerable number of weapons, this has to make the fat man be more careful,
" The Paput Kingdom proposed to purchase weapons in its application? The empire is not afraid of the Paput people’s recklessness. It really dares to retreat. It’s not a problem for the imperial army to destroy the entire Paput, even if the South wants to unite against the North. Under the excuse, I can only stare." The fat man stared at the setting sun outside the window like blood, and the vast mountains in the south drew an eyebrow-like curve. "I'm afraid that the Paputans used the imperial loan to buy imperial weapons and then used them. Coming to fight the empire, the empire will be embarrassed this time. Not only will the reputation of the empire be affected, but the empire bank will also become the laughing stock of the entire continent. The situation that he has spent so much energy and effort to create will be instantaneous. It’s easy to pay!"
"Your Majesty is worried. According to the intelligence, the sudden change of the Paput Kingdom is because the Paputans are preparing to fight Ris Day." Socutus Delan handed a glass of wine in his hand to the man standing in front of the window. Fatty, relying on Socutus Delan's network in the south, it is not difficult to figure out the true purpose of the Paputans applying for loans. Her eyes fell on the corners of her master Wei's frowning eyebrows, beautiful Wei The corners of his mouth smiled and said
"Go to war on Lisri?" The fat man turned around
"The Kingdom of Lisri is just a small country bordering the south of Paput. Its territory is less than a hundred miles, but it is the center of the road to the east. The Paputs want to annex the heart of the Kingdom of Lisri, which is located in the entire south. I know, it’s just because of various reasons that the message that "Socutus Delan’s beautiful and moving voice pauses" has been delayed from Paput’s side. Just five days ago, the King of the Kingdom of Risri Passed away, and now there is only one eldest princess who is less than 17 or 18 years old in the country who is presiding over the affairs of the state, and she has no power to suppress the ministers. Risri is originally a vassal of Fazer. If the Paputans don’t do anything, I’m afraid Fazer will do it. Let’s do it first, so it’s normal to be so desperate to want to win! If your Majesty is really worried, you can leave this to me. The Paputans’ war against Lisri must be offended. Ze people, if the two countries have already been married, it would be nice to say, but now, there is a bit of taking advantage of the fire. I think I can take this opportunity to completely pull the Paput kingdom to the side of the empire."
"Since this is the case, then this matter is left to you!" The fat man nodded,
"Also, the loan target is only limited to small and medium-sized countries for the time being. No reply will be made to the applications of the large southern countries!" The fat man stared at the distant mountains and took the wine glass from Socutus Dailan. , Swallowing deeply, the abnormal changes in the Paput Kingdom made him suddenly realize one thing, that is, the sequelae caused by the North-South War is showing up.
"Why is this?" Soquetus Delan was a little puzzled. It is reasonable to say that lending to those southern powers with good national strength can get a more stable return.
"I think that if the Imperial Bank is to expand in the south at the fastest speed, it should temporarily bypass those powerful countries, because the small and medium-sized countries in the south have a desire to break the current pattern of power than those powerful countries!" Fatty He smiled at the corner of his mouth, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said slowly, "From the Kingdom of Paput, you can see that it took out the tax and the mortgage of the coastal port seat in one breath. It can be seen that the Kingdom of Paput is very effective in this battle. Importance"
"And this is the hearts of the people in the chaotic world. How can any monarch in the chaotic world have no ambitions! Those without ambitions are either ousted from power or annexed by other countries. The reason why many southern countries behave calmly, That's because the opportunity has not yet come. Once the opportunity comes, who can bear it? A mere five million gold coins, even if even a small second-rate country like Paput has expanded outward, it can be seen that there are not a few southern ambitions. "
"Paput’s expansion is not a bad thing for the empire. The biggest advantage of the loan is that it can be used in the future. This is for any ambitious king of the kingdom. It’s an irresistible temptation. Who doesn’t want to expand abroad? Who doesn’t want to become a generation of great emperors? But there is no money and no strength, so they bow their heads one by one to dress up grandchildren for those big countries. Now if the Imperial Bank can satisfy its external The demand for expansion, these countries will soon come in droves. According to the economic penetration of the empire, ten years are enough to completely control the economic lifeline of these kingdoms. The main advantage is that as long as you open It’s hard for the monarchs and ministers of these kingdoms to stop."
"I understand, your majesty means to use the imperial bank loans to promote the ambitions of these small and medium kingdoms, thereby reestablishing the southern pattern!" Even Socutus Delan was shocked by the words of the fat man. The moving cheeks on Shi's pretty face were red, and the imperial bank was used to leverage the entire southern pattern. This vision has completely surpassed all people in this era. When everyone is still running on the ground, so What I saw was a mountain and a river, but this man was already flying above the sky, and what he saw was the whole earth! Most importantly, this man is the man of his life,
"It's true!"
The fat man can feel the deep affection contained in Socutus Delan’s eyes, and he also feels that he has chosen the right person to hand the Imperial Bank, a strategic economy, to Socutus Delan to operate. Socutus Delan’s loyalty is unquestionable, and he has a unique vision that has been trained for many years at the top of the business alliance. The original means of sweeping the southern coastal areas have shown the ability to operate funds to the peak in this era, and can simultaneously Only with sufficient insight and means can you realize the painstaking effort of establishing the Imperial Bank. The Imperial Bank is an economy and a strategic bureau. If the establishment of a business alliance was to expand commerce, the establishment of the Imperial Bank is now Truly put the economic invasion into a tactical way
After Socutus Delan replied to the Paput’s request, on the fourth day, the snowflakes in the southern part of Obaro finally fell. Socutus Delan wore a dark green fleece skirt. A report was sent to the fat man. "The Eero Empire has sent people again. They have reached the periphery of the port and demanded that we send troops in accordance with the agreement!"
"According to the agreement?" The fat man didn't even bother to read the report sent by the Eero, so he threw it into the trash basket and shrugged his shoulders. "The agreement clearly stated that the Eero Empire sent troops to the outskirts of the port. , The empire will send troops to assist, but I didn’t see that the Eero empire army hit the periphery of the port, so naturally there is no need to fulfill the agreement! Emperor Eero is still thinking about the empire himself jumping into the pit, how would he know that I will His little trick was clear. The Emperor Erot was afraid of angering the public, so he even used some kind of rebel guise. It was the rebels who hit the outskirts of the port, and the Erot people claimed to have taken refuge in the Adenites. Rebels, why did the empire send troops?"
"Yes, I understand how to reply to them!"
Socutus Delan smiled like a silky eye, although she likes her man’s casual manners, she also likes her own man’s rascal temperament, not to mention the fact that this matter itself is Eero. The trap designed by people, even if the Erotians are dissatisfied, they will not be bold enough to preach to everyone that the Falcons are betraying the secret covenant and fail to assist the Erot Empire to send troops to Aden. If that is the case, the Erot Empire is equivalent to the entire southern part. Traitors, uniting the Northern Falcon Empire to fight a southern kingdom, and a country like Run Putt lending to the Empire Bank are completely different things. From this we can see the benefits of the Empire Bank. At least until now, it will not. People regard the loan to the Imperial Bank as a joint Falcon Empire. The concealment of the Imperial Bank is too strong. After a while, even if the country's monarch understands what is going on, he dare not openly say such a thing. , Because it is tantamount to being an enemy of all the southern countries that have loaned to the Imperial Bank!
With the news that the Paput Kingdom captured the capital of King Lisri within six days, the Paput Kingdom loaned 5 million to the Imperial Bank, and the same whirlwind swept the south. At the time, the Six Nations Allied Forces expected to be in Iraq. The Stan region defeated the main force of the Imperial army, and then took advantage of the victory to swallow Istanbul and Feshan. Even Central Europe wanted to get in. But on the other hand, the sequelae of the defeat of the Six Nations is actually no better than the defeat of the Empire. The situation is good,
The Seven Hundred Thousand Army of the Six Nations Alliance has not yet reached the point of subjugation and extinction for the Six Nations, but the 700,000 field troops were eliminated in the first battle, especially the countries such as Aden, which suffered the most losses. Not to mention the drastic reduction in national power, even the original control and influence are not as good as before. The one who has the deepest feelings about this kind of control, I am afraid it is the small and medium-sized countries such as Paputer
If it were in the past, a second-rate kingdom like the Paput Kingdom would never dare to fight a vassal of the great power Feze without authorization, but now, with sufficient military support, the Paput Kingdom would go to war without hesitation. Up,
Why? Isn’t the Fazer Kingdom’s reputation damaged due to the North-South War? In addition to the imperial navy that provokes the Inland Sea, the Imperial Army may also war against it at any time. Now the entire Fazer is fully prepared for war. I want to care about the life and death of Lisri
This is true on the west side of the south, and the situation on the east side of the south is even worse
The Erot Empire’s sudden attack on the Kingdom of Aden, although under the banner of the rebels, in fact, everyone can see that the Erots were at the expense of the Aden people’s national power, and the Aden people lost in the zhan of the north and the south. The most tragic,
All 60,000 elite camel cavalry died in battle, and more than 70,000 infantry regiments were joined. It can be said that the Kingdom of Aden lost nearly half of its national military power in just three months. Such a loss, For any country, it is disastrous
The land of the Kingdom of Aden is mostly deserted deserts, and only a few oases support the country’s economic and financial resources. The struggle of the North and South wars can be regarded as the ten years of the Kingdom of Aden.
Faced with the massive advance of the Erotians this time, the Kingdom of Aden was able to mobilize only 50,000 troops to block it. Compared with the total of more than 300,000 Erot, it is simply horrible.
From this we can see how embarrassing the situation in the east is, and the Erot’s war on the Kingdom of Aden is equivalent to starting the southern civil war. The Erot Empire set a very glorious precedent for the entire south. That is, as long as you have a big fist, you can seize the area you want, and completely ignore the overall situation of the southern unity against the northern. If the southern countries were still waiting and watching, now they are like slamming on the fire of ambition. Penyou, or the emperor of the Eero Empire believed that as long as the empire was introduced into the Aden Kingdom to participate in the war, then he could take advantage of the situation and draw the prairie fire to the Falcon Empire, and Eero would then rely on his powerful military power and the great power of defeating the Adenites. With great prestige, he became the most powerful alliance leader in the south,
But in fact, the Erot’s own arbitrary actions aggravated the final outbreak of the Southern Civil War,
On December 19, an arrogant special envoy of the Eero Kingdom secretly visited the headquarters of the Imperial Bank in Feshan. The Eero Empire applied for a loan of 10 million yuan and was willing to use the one currently being attacked by the Eero. The port area was used as collateral, but it was rejected by the Imperial Bank.
The special envoy of the Erot Kingdom declared that the Imperial Bank did not have that much funds at all. Loan Paput Kingdom was a scam. In fact, it did not give many loans, let alone five million, but not one million. The Imperial Bank did not reply to this~IndoMTL.com~Instead, it was another reply, and the Envoy Erot was immediately silenced, and went back with his tail dingy. That was the warning from the Falcon Empire Military Affairs Department. , If the Erot Empire has such a controversy, the Falcon Empire will not hesitate to fight for reputation!
Nothing came out, and the south shook again. Behind the Imperial Bank, there was a fierce imperial military. If there were people who had doubts about the capital and financial resources of the Imperial Bank, now there are no doubts.
The wealth of the Falcon Empire’s military is well known. It is said that the military expenditure is only 30 to 40 million yuan each year, not to mention the mountains of treasures and trophies captured in the war, which add up to more than 70 to 80 million. ,
Behind the Imperial Bank is such a behemoth, what else is worth doubting! Loans to the Imperial Bank became the top priority for most of the Southern Monarch Conferences. The Imperial Bank, which was able to loan out 5 million in one go, became the first topic of discussion between the southern royal families and the great nobles.
The name of the Imperial Bank has become the most frequently mentioned word among the kingdom’s senior officials. Since the Paputans can borrow it, why can’t we borrow it? The Paputans spent five million to lay down the Kingdom of Risri, so if we give these five million to us, we might be able to lay down two and three Kingdoms of Risri,
The hearts of the people are throbbing, as the fat man expected, there is never a lack of ambitious people among the monarchs of the southern countries. The sky in the south is changing, and the dark clouds of war are spreading over the southern sky because of the hearts of the people (to be continued) [ This text is provided by Qihang Update Team Leader @刘靖] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
