Power and Empire Chapter 3349: Another 1 preface

The temperature in the Obaro area began to warm up, especially in Taijing Dahaicheng, which was affected by the warm ocean currents. The cold snow in the north has just converged, and the temperature has risen by a full seven or eight degrees, even the raindrops that are falling. It doesn’t seem so cold. It seems that in one night, the soil on both sides of the street can be seen green, and there are even some early-flowering plants swaying in the spring breeze.

But this kind of spring is completely eclipsed in front of the busy Imperial Capital Dahaicheng, countless lights are shining, bustling sounds are coming, the shops and business districts along the way have been crowded with bustling people, and countless merchant ships gathered in Dahaicheng. , Piles of goods and busy dock workshops,

Such a situation is not only in the Imperial Capital, it can be said to be all over the empire’s commercial wharves on the western coastline

Although the Empire Annual Conference has only been held three times, it has already become the most important conference in the entire Obaro continent. During the conference, not only military generals and governors from all over the empire will bring a large number of local specialties. The Grand Ocean City of the Imperial Capital was presented to His Majesty the Emperor, and followed in the footsteps of these important empires, as well as merchants from all over the empire. The Grand Annual Meeting of the empire was an opportunity to gather all the dignitaries of the entire empire in a short period of time. , How could the merchants let it go? This is a gathering of the empire’s dignitaries and the welfare of all merchants in the entire empire’s territory,

During the empire’s annual meeting, the emperor will announce that all goods trade in the entire empire will only charge half of the normal tax. Under the stimulus of this move, the commercial trade in the empire is basically crazy, and high density The commercial trade in China has not only driven the economy, but also affected all aspects of the entire empire. Merchants must rush to sell more goods during the annual meeting. First of all, the manufacturing workshops are involved, and the workshops involve more. The employment of labor requires more raw materials, manufacturing workers, and the goods have to be shipped out after the transaction, which involves a large number of caravan fleets and a large amount of labor.

Although the empire’s annual meeting is only two weeks away, various preparations have been started two or three months ago. A large number of squeezed goods have begun to be emptied, and the manufacturing workshop has worked overtime and overtime. The caravans are as busy as crazy, and the imperial goods are beginning to be sold in other countries with price reductions. The scope of benefits is not only the rich and powerful of all countries, but even the civilians of all countries. In the end, it is a full one or two. The hoarding of the moon broke out at once, and what it showed was an earthquake-like effect, the power that made the entire Obaro shake. During the two weeks of the annual meeting, any obstruction was ineffective.

Someone once said that the annual meeting was the biggest conspiracy of the empire. During the annual meeting, the entire continent fluctuated in the empire’s powerful influence. Even the barbarians in the remote areas of Southern Europe knew these ten. A few days is the most important annual meeting time for the Great North Empire. Even some small-scale war zones will choose to avoid this time, because both the upper-class nobles and the lower-class soldiers have their own needs

For the empire, the tax reduction during the annual meeting was actually just a temporary order that the Emperor’s head was heated and used to empty the stock of unsalable goods every year. No one expected such a good effect. , So it was simply retained by the imperial Ministry of the Interior’s report request. The main reason given was that the sales of goods increased significantly, often three to four times more than usual. Therefore, although the tax was cut by half, the tax was not reduced, but instead There is more. First and foremost, in the face of the power of commerce and the benefits that can be seen and tangible, even the enemy cannot refuse. The influence of the empire can be easily extended to where it is needed."

And at this year’s empire’s annual meeting, the most prosperous is the southern European and Baro country that no one had expected

The empire’s annual meeting has only been held on the fifth day. Sixty percent of the goods sold by the empire are taken over by these southern European and Baro countries, from the nobles of Fei Zebei to the six central countries, and just returned In the ecclesiastical state that called poor to the empire, even the royal family of Ero, who lost its king and went to the south, was not far behind, such as the Kingdom of Harvey, the Kingdom of Martin Liga, and the Kingdom of Ikar. When we met with the Empire in the Holy Capital, the blood of more than a hundred thousand soldiers ran into rivers, a prince died in battle, and a prince was captured. They all expressed bitter and enmity expressions, and collectively uttered a voice for the dignified empire during the annual meeting. , They took such a despicable way of expanding their influence to express their anger and condemnation, but the madness that their people showed when they bought imperial goods at the port, Martin Liya and the kingdom of Ikar were led by the princes, and the royal family formed a group and swallowed all the way. Hesse, the commodities purchased by these three countries alone exceed 11 million imperial gold, accounting for two-thirds of the entire Southern European Baro trade

I can’t wait to spend all of the purchase funds for a year in these ten days. Even the rich and powerful, even the empire’s dignitaries are stupefied. I have seen a starving ghost reborn, and I have never seen such an unchosen one. I want everything! From the special products and luxury goods shipped from all over the empire to ordinary daily necessities, there are almost the same.

Actually, this cannot be completely blamed on these southern countries. It is because the Imperial Chamber of Commerce now does not require customs taxes. These southern kingdoms are just pure landlocked countries with no outlets to the sea. They think To purchase imperial goods, it is often necessary to pass through the seaport routes of the mission country. The high tariffs generally account for more than half of the value of the goods, and some tariffs are even higher than the goods themselves, so even if they are cheap Goods are already expensive when they are shipped to their country. In addition, due to the imperial navy blockade, the quantity they can buy under normal circumstances is limited

The only time that can be fully opened is during the Imperial Annual Conference. During this period, the Imperial Navy will also open the door of convenience and release the seas across the board. As long as it is not a combat ship, even a smuggling ship can fly the white flag grandiosely. When entering the imperial port to transport goods, the imperial navy will not ask the next home of these smuggled goods. This is the annual meeting. For other countries, this is an evil event where the wicked northern empire decides whom to attack next year. , But for most people in Oubaro as a whole, this is the most exciting and extremely happy time of the year!

Of course, in the face of the strange expressions of the countries, the Three Kingdoms brazenly said that they want to buy the empire and leave the empires with nothing to buy, in order to avenge the empire's brutal slaughter of the four coalition forces in the holy capital!

This reason is really cruel!

Other countries on the Europa continent are speechless about the lack of bottom lines of these three countries.

The only thing that is still tough is the Kingdom of Aden. It is true that no Aden businessman came to the empire, but it was not because the Aden merchants were hard-hearted and kept cheap, but because the empire and the Aden navy competed in the southern sea of ​​Central Bahia. At that moment, the Imperial Navy was silent for two months. Just when the Aden Navy believed that it had completely controlled the southern sea of ​​Central and Biyah, it was suddenly ambushed by the Imperial Navy's fleet. The Aden Navy's transport fleet suffered heavy losses and its transportation capacity was greatly reduced. Then the Imperial Navy began to frequently Attacked the Aden Navy’s island stronghold in the southern waters of Central and Biya, and began to unplug the connection points that the Aden Navy had finally established.

Because of the previous heavy losses of the naval transport fleet and the need to protect the 200,000 Aden army from attacking the capital area of ​​Central Biya, the main force of the Aden navy could not support these island strongholds, and could only watch the imperial navy. Sweep like a dragon

The Kingdom of Aden has begun to order ships from the Chamber of Commerce. This is the main reason why the Chamber of Aden’s Chamber of Commerce is absent from the Empire’s annual meeting. It is also through this phenomenon that the European countries have also begun to realize that the Empire and the Kingdom of Aden have already The battle between China and Bahia, which lasted for half a year, has had a great impact on the Kingdom of Aden

As the intelligence of the battle continued to spread, the entire Lord of Obaro opened his eyes wide. This is an incomparable war. The power disparity between the two sides is so great that it is unbelievable. ,

At the beginning of the war, the contrast between the naval forces of the two countries was so great that it was unbelievable

One party is the hegemon that controls almost the entire eastern continental waters from the Gulf of Aden to the southern sea of ​​Central Bia. The Navy of Aden is just a squadron made up temporarily. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was sent by the Imperial Navy as a beggar. The Aden Navy has the strongest morale of the southern sea squadron of the Central Piyah empire. It has more than 50,000 sailors and more than 500 warships. For decades, the Aden Navy has been well-versed in the southern seas of Central Piyah. The naval fleet will be sent to patrol every quarter, and the system's support points have been built in thousands of miles of sea area, just like the familiarity of one's own back garden,

On the empire side, the number of warships of the Southern Central Bianya Navy, even if it includes transport ships, does not exceed one hundred. Previously, they had only conducted short-term training in the southern coast of Central Bianca. Such a huge gap, this is simply The top nobles are the same as street beggars, but it is just such a disparity. The beggar who rushed up turned out to be the first one to do it, and it turned out to be the Imperial Navy

Qinglong Bay, the Imperial Navy severely damaged a squadron of the Aden Navy,

"Masi Crescent Strait", this naval town known as the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the King of Aden was brutally shelled by the Imperial Navy. The Aden Navy's Zhongbia fleet in the strait was hit hard, and it is even said to be almost Just kill the famous Aden Navy Marshal Gudeya! Eventually aroused the anger of the King of Aden, the huge fleet of three hundred main naval ships headed towards the southern waters of Central and Biya

The imperial navy is planted this time, everyone thinks so, and the result is that as the war progresses, although the Aden navy still has a quantitative advantage, it is like a giant in handcuffs and shackles. But it was because of the 200,000 Aden Army’s operations in the Central Biyaland area, and it was completely nailed to the north of the Central Biya Sea

The imperial navy evaded its edge and chased after the weakest transport fleet of the Aden Navy and beat it hard,

Now even the blind can see that the initiative of naval warfare has once again fallen into the hands of the Imperial Navy. As of last month, the data on the losses suffered by the Aden Navy in this battle has also come out, and various types of war damage have been released. The number of warships reached 400, 50,000 elite naval personnel, and more than 30,000 casualties. Even if the Kingdom of Aden rushed to build ships day and night, they couldn’t make up for it

This is even the fig leaf is about to be ripped off!

You must know that even if the strength of the Aden navy is placed in the inland sea, it is also a hegemonic naval power, but it is such a hegemonic power that lies in the half-year tug-of-war of the imperial navy, and it has been completely ruined by playing! And what caused this situation was only a squadron of the empire in the southern waters of Central Bahia! The European nations, who saw the situation clearly, were in an uproar again. From the opening of the gate of the Gaul navy in the first battle, to the bombardment of the capital of Gangfei and the sound of the horn of the decline of the Gangfei empire, it forced the surrender of the inland sea overlord Strand Sea State to become the only inland sea. , And now it uses a squadron to compete with the Aden Navy. The Imperial Navy has gone along the way, and the countries have felt powerless to fight. I originally thought that the Kingdom of Aden was far away in the waters of Central and Bahia and occupied the power of the landlord. The empire suffers a bit, who knows that this is the result!

"The Kingdom of Aden also sent an emissary this time to request peace talks with the empire. If you want to end the confrontation with the empire in the Central and Bahia region, it can be rejected as usual. But now, during the annual meeting, the eyes of all countries are Therefore, the Emissary of Aden came with a high profile, for fear that everyone would not know the general, so I refused, for fear that it would damage the reputation of the empire."

The little witch Tullitcolin put down the documents from the Aden people in her hand, and she sat on the fat man’s push, wrapped in two long legs in black lambskin long pointed-toed boots, wearing her body A long skirt with a sable fur collar reveals the pattern of the roots of the skin-white ultra-thin glass stockings. The long legs in the stockings are slender and plump, mixed in the black of the purple dress and long pointed-toed boots, along with her slender waist. More revealing the boundless charm

In the past few years, the little witch has already become a true witch of the allure, and she has a taller figure. As the imperial princess responsible for the foreign affairs of the empire, she has the powerful backing of the empire and the thousand-year-old family of Turit. The background is even more familiar to the Obaro countries. Every negotiation can always maximize the interests of the empire and make the royals tremble. The name Turritkling has already been used by other countries. It’s to the point where it’s famous

Only at this moment, the whole body of the princess of the Fang Empire, which frightened the nations, was pushed on the fat man, and the wine-red big wavy long curly hair wrapped in the back of his head was graceful and luxurious, and the snowflake diamond hung on the long white neck. Decorated with brilliance, the sleek and plump oval face reveals its peerless charm everywhere, and the slender hand beats the fat man backwards, muttering "I hate it, what do you want to do?"

Fatty-faced Pete smiled thickly. "It's normal for the Aden people to want a truce. Now the Aden army is besieging the new capital of Zhongbia. If you say what the Aden people are most afraid of~ IndoMTL.com~ it's that our emperor's team suddenly moved from The Emperor Jingxilu killed them and made them besiege Xinjing to no avail, so they simply sent people to propose a truce. As long as they dragged on for a period of time, they would be able to take the Xinjing with them. Since the people of Aden came with a high profile this time, you Just tell them that an armistice is not impossible. If you give up the southern waters of Central and Bahia, the empire will cease the war." The fat man grinned, but his hand was attached to Tullit Collin's ring as smooth as jade. On the thigh, he moved upstream and entered the long skirt. Although there was a thin layer of silk stockings, there was already plenty of plump and creamy buttocks between his fingers.

"Ahem. Can't you two hide away during the day, it's nothing to be caught upright like this!"

A female voice like a yellow warrior gave a dry cough, and a charming figure walked in from the door. The bun on top of her head was loosened, and she was gently tied with a white lace hair band inlaid with rhinestones. On a strand of hair, the black jade-like long hair is scattered like a waterfall on the neckline and back of the transparent gauze, and the beautiful face of melon seeds against the long hair is looming

"Sister Rui Tangtingna just came here, but I helped you catch this bad guy, how can you thank me!" Turret Colleen smiled tremblingly, but she didn't mean to leave the fat man's thighs at all. , If it is another princess, it may be a little embarrassing, but Rui Tang Tingna is absolutely impossible, the woman in the prairie is much wilder than her Turit Collin

Ri Tang Tingna's small pink mouth is slightly upturned, and a pair of wild and smart big eyes threw a report on the fat man like anger but not anger, and said condensedly, "It's useless if you catch him, but now someone I ran to look for him, and I don’t know how Li Yuehua did it. She actually abducted Princess Mingyue to Dahaicheng! And as the eldest princess of Zhongbia, she asked the empire to send troops for rescue. Haven’t you been waiting for this? !"
