Power and Empire Chapter 2063: Cracked soil (5)
"Are those two people from the Ministry of Supervision?"
Socutus Dailan patted her tall chest with a small hand, a little bird looks like a person, if she happily ignores the presence of the two Supervision Departments in black when getting off the carriage, it will be inadvertently in the fat man’s. At a glance, I quickly felt the difference between the two black clothes, which immediately made her feel a touch of coldness,
As the empire’s first-hand monitoring of the valve of the business alliance, the Dark Rose, who has long been in the intrigue of the alliance’s high-level deception, how can he not see that this matter is wrong, the Supervision Department may find him because of this matter, but There will definitely not be such a fast speed, and the auction hasn't even opened yet, so he has been convicted? Impossible, Socutus immediately denied this, so someone must have lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Supervision in advance! But what is the purpose of the other party? Her face was a little dazed, suddenly her face changed slightly, and she shuddered.
There was a chill in Socutus Delan’s mind. If she can’t participate in the auction tonight, then Sulan alone is in charge, and Sulan is the branch minister Palan’s person, colluding internally and externally. Under the circumstances, everything can happen! The person who was finally hacked was himself! If you don't have the fat man's super hole card to protect, then you are really wronged to the end!
Fatty took her hand and smiled indifferently." "The North Business Alliance branch just told the Supervision Department of your black situation, so I was surprised that the other party even used the Supervision Department to To hold you back, the purpose should be to prevent you from appearing at the auction. If it's not just a crown, I'm afraid it doesn't have such a heavy weight. You'd better not show up at the auction tonight. I will let the Supervision Department. Cooperate and make the illusion that you are being investigated"
"Well, I understand!" Socutus Delan nodded obediently. She knew that at this moment, all the other party’s attention must be on her. Not showing up is the biggest help. The other party mistakenly believes that the plan is successful, and only then will they continue to follow the steps before they will be exposed
"Okay, you go in first, from now on until dawn, don't go out, I will leave someone to protect you, and I will take care of other things!" The fat man let go and patted Socutus. With Dailan’s hips, Socutus, Dailan with a reddish face, walked into the gate of the castle villa. Two imperial guards pulled the door from the outside. The fat man left thirty imperial guards in charge of the security meeting and then turned and walked towards The two black clothes of the Ministry of Supervision, whose faces turned pale on the opposite side, immediately stood upright all over the body of the two black clothes of the Ministry of Supervision of the Empire.
"What position are you!"
The fat man glanced over the two almost sluggish black clothes of the Supervisory Department in front of him, and his gaze stopped on the two gold stars on the chest of Wakalando's uniform. Those were the identity marks of the deputy head of the branch, and the other was not. The number is obviously lower. It seems that this time the Ministry of Supervision still attaches great importance to it and directly sent a deputy minister of a branch. According to the division of labor, the main duties of the Ministry of Supervision are mainly military affairs, and the deputy is generally responsible for business affairs. , But there are very few cases where the deputy minister is directly dispatched. After all, the Ministry of Supervision is notorious. Even the military is still fearful, let alone ordinary businessmen
"I’m Wascarando, Deputy Minister of the North Congolese Division. We received a report, but we didn’t expect to meet your Majesty here!" Wacarando's face flushed nervously, feeling stressed and desperate. He explained that he was just handling impartially and there were absolutely no other factors involved. Another Wakalando's subordinate was so frightened that he almost fainted. The investigation was found on His Majesty's head, and his Majesty was caught upright. This Isn't it looking for death?
"Okay, I didn't pursue your meaning! Do what I said below!" The fat man's expression eased a little, he looked at the two of them nervously, and interrupted Vakalando's words, and said grimly, "Anyway I’ve already arrived, so I’ll do something for me. After I returned, I immediately announced in the name of the Ministry of Supervision that the thirteen deacon of the Business Alliance, Socutus Delan, was taken away for investigation!"
"This...
. "Vakalando shivered, I don't know if His Majesty Falcon is telling the truth or the irony, there are beads of sweat on his forehead
"This is the order" The fat man snorted heavily in his nose
"Yes, my subordinate understands!" Wacarando made sure that he had not misheard, and his Majesty did not say anything wrong, so he straightened up and answered,
"Go back! Remember what should be said and what should not be said!" The fat man waved his hand, and the two Ministry of Supervision in black clothes like an amnesty, hurriedly left, and an imperial guard hit the carriage parked at the gate of the castle. With a gesture, he walked over to the fat man and whispered, "Your Majesty, King Rila has arrived."
Entering here from the boundless wilderness of the northern region of Gangfei, the Marquis Felt sitting in the carriage was very uncomfortable. He wanted to exit several times, but his eyes swept across the frowning eyebrows of His Majesty the King. Being able to choose to be silent, King Rila’s thin cheeks became harder and harder. He was looking out the window with complicated eyes, watching the endless carriages on the road, watching the children laughing and playing on the road and street, his eyes were full of complexity, this It is the northern part of Gangfei under the rule of the Falcon Empire. It is almost as good as it was during the heyday of Gangfei. The scene here is too prosperous and peaceful. It is also the area affected by the war. The memory of war trauma is almost bó. Can't see it,
The fresh young grass swayed in the cool spring breeze, like a pair of gentle hands, gently peeling off the coat of the earth, the silver-gray olive trees beside the road have greenery, and the sparkling sea can be seen To the flocks of fishing boats, and huge imperial battleships, white seagulls on the masts, in the thriving fields, cultivators are waving their hand tools to clean the deserted ridges, red sunflowers, Ruin Violets like a mattress, flowing on the flower ball lawn in the city like a stream, vines entwined on the umbrella-shaped pine and cypress trees, sending the fragrance of roses from the Palatine Garden
On the road, you can see vehicles loaded with all kinds of logistical materials coming from here endlessly, rolling away to the wider northern border of Congo and Africa,
As a well-known commercial port in the northern part of Congo, although it has been affected by the war, it has also recovered rapidly with the prosperity of the 200,000 army of the empire, more than 100,000 prisoners of war, and the large supply of logistics materials needed by the empire. The port city covers an area of about ten miles, and all of them are flat avenues. At the beginning, there were many insightful people in the Congolese empire who raised objections. They believed that the trading port conditions here were good, and even large warships could be anchored. Threats, and there are a lot of illegal goods in the trade, once proposed to the Congolese Navy to change this trading port to a naval port garrison, but did not get the consent of the Congolese emperor
As a young and passionate prince of Rila who studied at the Congolese Imperial Military Academy and regarded the Congolese Empire as the only enemy to suppress Rila for decades, he once stood on the steps of the port here. , Shouting at the distant sea,
Times have changed, but it has only been more than 20 years. Everything has changed. The Congo empire, once regarded as an enemy for life, collapsed, and the rise of the entire kingdom’s accumulated power was hit by the Falcon Empire. After raiding with the Hungarians, it has become dilapidated
The nation suffered a large number of massacres and the King Capital was tragically broken. Although the Hungarian remnant army was eventually wiped out by the main force of Rila that he brought back, only a few dozen people fled, but the war gave Rila The destruction is extremely heavy,
Most of the northern part of Rila was looted and burned into a piece of white land, because the war affected as many as more than 1 million people, and the preliminary statistics of the death population reached more than 300,000. For those with a total population of less than 4 million According to Ruila, nearly one-tenth of the population is gone, one-half of the economic area has been hit hard, and the prosperous capital city of the country has been burned. It is so traumatized that it will not be possible to restore the national power in more than ten years, and the current situation Unwilling to give Rila time to cultivate and rejuvenate, two hundred thousand Hungarian and Spanish troops stared at the sideline, and then the army might move westward and engulf Rila
According to the current remaining military and economic power of Rila, it is no longer able to contend with this behemoth. Not to mention that the road to rise is broken, and it can even be said that he has reached the edge of subjugation and extinction. Even if he is the King of Rila, he has only himself at this moment. Come here, because at this time there is only one person who can save Rila, and that is the Emperor of the Falcon Empire! If Rilla wants to continue to exist, he must join the Falcon Empire.
On the afternoon of April 15th, in an inconspicuous villa about five feet away from the city gate, the Fatty met with King Rila. For their physique, they have a choice. It’s a more luxurious and comfortable meeting place, but because King Rila doesn’t want to be too eye-catching, Irila’s pride has penetrated into his bones. The King’s personal presence this time is already an expression of submission, not to mention making a big impact.
I went to the other party’s territory and talked for a while, how could it be a downwind situation. The fat man respected King Rila’s opinion. This independent villa seemed inconspicuous, but the furnishings were not bad at all. Many of them were moved directly from the castle.
4:5 pm, no more than five minutes late than the agreed time, the Imperial Guards all stayed outside the door, the fat man entered the villa lobby through the front door, and just saw a person coming in through the door, two people All were taken aback for a while, and they greeted each other.
"Your Majesty Falcon?"
"Your Majesty Owit?" The two laughed and sat down on both sides of the table in the middle of the living room. King Rilam looked at the fat man with bright eyes. The clothes, white shirt, and black woolen coat seemed to be attached to him. It was comfortable and pleasing to the eye. He wore a plain white corsage made of a handkerchief on his chest. It seems random, but no matter what the picky lady can't find any flaws, it seems that even every wrinkle has been cleverly arranged, and there is no ornament on her body anymore, because he doesn't need it anymore. Show off yourself, this kind of simplicity, majestic, back-to-nature taste, even more shocking and courageous
Although I have long heard that the emperor who laid down the huge Falcon Empire was a young man under 30 years old, he did not expect to be so young. Compared with him, he is really old. The domestic battle of Rila made the temples white early, as white as if they passed by, with fine wrinkles on the forehead, and a thin face with a sharp outline with a trace of unresolved sorrow. My hopes and persistence for Rila follow. The Burning City fire, which illuminates the entire sky by the King Capital, turned into a bubble. In comparison, King Rila felt his own tackiness. The big diamond on the huge royal heraldry ring in his hand looked like a nouveau riche. , He secretly twisted the ring side over,
The fat man made a gesture to King Rila. The meeting between the two monarchs does not need to be too polite. The first time they met, the fat man had an unspeakable feeling for him, that he was the monarch of the same country. Although the rise of Rila was completely destroyed by himself, it is undeniable that the gaunt-looking middle-aged man in front of him is qualified to be called a generation of heroes. If he is in his position, he can probably only work hard enough. Degree
Rila King Owitt got up and returned the courtesy, and said kindly, "Your Majesty Falcon, your deeds are well-known all over the world, and your name is so impressive! Unexpectedly, you really are so young!" His voice was very low. It is obviously a polite compliment to meet, but for some reason, there is an inexplicable sincerity in his mouth.
This is the personal charm of King Rila. The Central European and Baro allied forces are willing to follow him and resist the pressure from both the East and the West. It is not without reason. It reminds the fat man of the young man who has already died. The Gaul emperor, in the same position, how to change to this person can make Gaul's internal unity, it will be a strong enemy of the empire!
" This guy came far away at a risk, he shouldn't just greet him! "The two looked at each other and laughed. The atmosphere at the beginning of the meeting was very good. The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he knew the purpose of King Rila. This guy came to ask for his own support, not only with material support, but also put his eyes on the six thousand captured Rila prisoners. They are all soldiers of the Rila Ace Army. Although there are only six thousand, they are elites enough to make up for ten thousand.
Aowei Te was a man who put down his face, and smiled and said, "This time I came to the empire to plead guilty. I didn’t know that your Majesty Tianwei had offended him, so that the two countries battled countless deaths and injuries. Compared with the Hungarians, as the most admired heroes of Rila, I think that having a sensible and reasonable great emperor like you is our good fortune. I hope that your majesty will not blame us for being late! "
The two chatted all over the sky for a while, nothing more than topics such as the customs and climate in Central Europe. The fat man praised Rila very much, and the King Rila responded humbly, "Where? , Our Rila is just a small place, the Falcon Empire is majestic and mighty, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are vast, where are these magnificent scenery Rila? Your Majesty Falcon, you are a person who has experienced big scenes, I hope you don’t laugh at us Rila people Just short-sighted, the fat man laughed and didn’t mention anything about aid.
Ovette's anxious brows wrinkled slightly, and finally couldn't help but look serious. "Your Majesty Falcon, you and I have seen each other, I don’t know if I should say something!"
" What do you mean? You want to help you die!" The fat man secretly smiled in his heart: "Finally!" He replied with a serious face, "Your Majesty Owit is too polite, you are a guest of the Empire, what can't be said! "
"Since you and our two countries have been repaired, according to the usual practice, then the captives of both sides should be released!" Owitt's face is reddish, although he has a hòu face, he is ashamed to say such words. How can there be any captives from both sides? , I didn’t even catch a single feather of the Falcon Empire. The other side had wiped out the two ace regiments that Rila was proud of, and captured six to seven thousand people. These are all elites. Put them back. They are able to fight when they come. At present, Rila is in urgent need of replenishment, but the northern part of the kingdom where the soldiers are located has been hit hard. Except for those who fled early, the male youths were all driven by the Hungarians to fill the walls of the royal capital. What else is there? Soldiers can be recruited, and the significance of these six or seven thousand combatable elites is extraordinary
"There is no problem in releasing the prisoners. I will release them when the road is repaired!" The fat man simply said,
"Excuse me, how long will it take to repair this road?" Owitt's eyes were bloodshot, so he asked politely.
"It depends on the actual situation. Maybe a week, a month, or a year, ten years are possible."
"Your Majesty Falcon is really joking!" Aoweite's face still smiled, but his voice already showed a sense of impatientness. "In such a situation, I am afraid I Rila can't wait for that long, but I'm sorry. La has just encountered a catastrophe, and it is really financially weak. So, as long as your majesty is willing to release these prisoners, I am willing to trade out a border city!"
"This is not the beginning of money..."
"This is the oldest lie I have ever heard. Every time someone tells me that this is not a question of money, don’t ask, it must be a question of money.
Does your majesty look down on my Rila?” Ovite was anxious, and even a little tough, and said coldly, “Don’t forget, but I, Rila, is acting as an imperial barrier to stop the Hungarian army! "
"Oh, that's interesting!" Fatty's eyes flashed, his mouth curled upwards. "Your Majesty Owit, the 200,000 army of the Hungarians, isn't the 200,000 army of the Falcon Empire? Great army? His Hungarian army has not yet captured Wu Duya, and our empire is only a nominal line from your Rila!"
"Ah! Your Majesty Falcon~IndoMTL.com~Please don't be angry." The Rila King Owitt's face changed when he heard it. He hesitated for a moment, his face revealed a sense of determination, and he gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, My Rila really can’t get the money, but it can be exchanged with other terms. As long as your Majesty Falcon wants, I can give up Rila, even if you want my most cherished daughter Bara, she is already on the way, I can give it to you too!"
"I don't want your daughter, I just have one condition!" The fat man knew that the bottom line that King Rila could bear has been reached, and the Rila people are really miserable. They are abused by the Hungarians, and they have to be eye-catching. Came to take advantage of himself,
Fatty raised a finger to him, and said in a deep voice, "I only want Rila to be tax-free for the Imperial Caravan for a hundred years from today!"
"Full tax exemption for one hundred years!"
Rila King Owitt jumped up from his seat like a rabbit with its tail trampled on, his face turned pale,
Rila Kingdom now lacks money most. If the commodity tax of the Falcon Empire is let go, it will basically be completely useless. Not to mention that it has been restored for ten years, but it will be good to be able to relax for fifty years. Now, in fifty years, a Falcon Empire that has completely opened up the Central European Baro market will be so huge that he can no longer imagine. Letting go of tax exemption is like a glass of poisoned wine, the difference is that Rila is now dying, or A hundred years later, it was swallowed by the Empire!
