Power and Empire Chapter 3366: The dead line of tripping (16)

Hu Keqili stood up from his seat, adjusted the collar of the imperial military uniform, and glanced over the ugly faces of the envoys of the Central European and Baro countries with ports, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, seeming to say unintentionally. "If I were you, I would never sit still here. How to raise funds for the purchase of port facilities within three days is the most important thing for you. Once three days have passed, you want to It is even more difficult to buy back the port facilities. I think even if those people have the funds in their hands, even if they are willing to borrow, it must be quite limited. Naturally, whoever proposes it first will have the greatest chance of getting support!"

As soon as Hu Keqili said this, the whole hall was quiet again. At this moment, it seemed that the air had frozen. Princess Luo Lan's body trembled, her pale face was more like a piece of white paper, and her teeth were even more serious. Biting out red on the seductive lips, it's over, it's over, Princess Luo Lan's heart is already full of broken glass

The figures were just the special envoys of the kingdom, almost at the same time rushing towards the entrance of the hall, but in the end, I didn’t know who reached out and pierced the corner of one of the envoys in anger, and pulled the envoy down. On the ground, the fallen man grabbed another person’s trousers again, and there was a scream of screams one after another, and several envoys were in a ball at the entrance of the hall.

"I have two ports in Fort Locke and should have priority!"

"What **** Rockberg, it’s just two small ports. Together, I don’t even have half the size of Anthea’s port. I’m the country with the highest priority." The envoys talked to each other. Each cursed each other bitterly. I saw that a few days ago, they also called each other intimately as the special envoys of Central Europe and Baro. Now they are fighting together, each other's fists and feet, their noses and faces are swollen, and there are all kinds of painful voices

Hu Keqili smiled coldly, walked out of the conference hall, it was so happy! Although it is not as refreshing as to cut off the heads of these Central Europeans directly on the battlefield, it is really true that the opponent’s psychology has been overthrown layer by layer, and the alliance of the Central European countries has been completely shattered, so that they can turn each other into enmity. Not much worse than a hearty battle!

The emperor just used a few insignificant ports as bait, and completely disintegrated the alliance that the countries of Central Europe and Baro had painstakingly arranged for two years, and even pushed it easily, making the same enemy among the countries crash. Not to mention the collapse, it has become a struggle for mutual benefits. After this incident, I dare not say that the Central European and Baro countries will immediately turn their faces, but at least it is difficult to return to the previous level of fighting the empire together!

Moreover, this discussion is more like a signal, and the countries will soon understand a truth, that is, although the empire is the overlord of Central Europe, it does not interfere with the disputes between the Central Europe countries, a chaotic phase. The struggling Central European Baro is far more in line with the interests of the empire than a Central European Baro fighting the empire together. As long as the empire’s rule is not shaken, the empire will only watch the internal disputes in the Central European Baro region coldly, which is tantamount to acquiescing to Central European Baro. The possibility of various civil wars!

In the hall, Princess Luo Lan’s pretty face is frosty, her fingers clenched, the fangs that appeared to be a weak empire at this moment directly shattered all illusions. The true face of the empire that swept the north of the Inland Sea in the past years, the gluttony murderer who eats people without spitting out bones, one hand after another, although the situation in Central Europe that he worked hard to maintain before has been smashed, it is not completely restored. There is room, but now, with the seemingly inadvertent words of Hu Keqili, the empire's important minister, the final victory has been completely and thoroughly established, and she has faintly felt the storm in Central Europe!

The empire discussed the port with the Central European and Baro countries, and it was quickly heard from the special envoys of the countries. After learning that the empire had indeed promised to return the port to the Central European and Baro countries, the forces of all parties shook again.

"How is this possible, is the empire crazy?"

"Is the intelligence wrong? How could the empire return the port to the countries of Central Europe and Barrow?"

Orders flowed through the Imperial Capital one by one, and the various forces did not believe that the Empire was willing to return to the port. They asked the intelligence personnel in the Imperial Capital to carry out investigations. Although the Central European and Baro countries seem to have 23 countries, since He was hit hard during the Hungarian Rebellion. Where can he recover in just two years? It is a miracle that the empire has not been strongly suppressed by the empire in such a tough collective fight against the empire. The empire has also promised to return its port. If it is not for the fact that the intelligence personnel of all parties have vowed to be true in the report, I am afraid it will be the first time. As the most exaggerated joke this year, it spread throughout the Obaro continent

And the intelligence personnel of the powers of various countries in the Imperial Capital are also suffering in their hearts. This matter has already been confirmed. What else needs to be checked? Is it true that Hu Keqili, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, who participated in the negotiation, can really question it! After deep digging by various intelligence personnel, there are finally some evidence that can be proved. For example, it is heard that the Minister of Military Affairs, after the discussion, because of the huge pressure and public opinion within the empire, he asked the Emperor on the third day. He resigned from the post of Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, and after being scolded by the Emperor, he resigned and beat him back, but this is enough to show that the Empire's return to the port is probably inevitable! You know, here is an empire where soldiers are above any class! In addition to the mistake of humiliating the empire, such as losing power and humiliating the country, Hu Keqili, the first man in the empire's military who wiped out the two empires, could not hold it.

"The news from the South should be in these few days. How much money is in the hands of the four-nation alliance?"

The fat man wore an Icardiwa-style gray-black wide obedience and stood up from the office chair of the Imperial Red Palace. In front of him was the Imperial Military Minister Hu Keqili who deliberately resigned yesterday. The fat man came to the office. On the balcony, he looked into the pure and enchanting blue sky, and the spring breeze was blowing his short black hair. After the spring rain a few days ago, the northwest coast of Obaro really entered the spring season, the new year of the empire. The meeting has also entered the countdown to the last ten days

Hu Keqili knew what the emperor meant, it's time to see Tuqongdi!

He replied respectfully and said, "Because Princess Mingyue bought two million imperial gold grains, the impact of the four-nation alliance's sudden release of grain orders was minimized. Although there were fluctuations, the magnitude was not large. After discussing with Central Europe and Baro, the Central Europe and Baro countries that have ports have also sought out the four-nation alliance. Among them, the three countries including Locke Fort, the Kingdom of Geria, and the Ancient Kingdom of Genoa have received financial assistance from the four alliances and have already transferred their ports to the four-nation alliance. The total purchase cost is 2.9 million imperial gold. In addition, some time ago, the four-nation alliance spent 4.67 million imperial gold on other trade in the Imperial Capital, mainly some weapons and groceries, conservative It is estimated that there should be no less than 3 million imperial gold in the hands of the four-nation alliance."

"Hehe, the four southern countries went to the Imperial Capital to send money so generously this time. I am afraid I am sorry for their enthusiasm if they don’t empty their wallets."

"But the four-nation alliance seems to have nothing to buy now"

Hu Keqili frowned his eyebrows slightly, and said hesitantly, with millions of imperial gold smashed down, the four-nation alliance is also very rewarding, especially the signing of loan agreements with the three Central European and Baro countries, which allows the four-nation alliance. The prestige has risen in the Imperial Palace. Now all the forces on the mainland have acquiesced that the Four Nations Alliance has the strength to fight the empire, and they are all interested in seeing whether the empire can come up with effective means in the end, otherwise the Imperial Palace Annual Meeting It’s a joke, it’s hard to say, no matter if the empire is strong and invincible, and is humiliated by the four-nation alliance, the momentum of the sky will always be lowered.

"No? Haha, it seems that even you were deceived by the illusion that the Four Nations Alliance deliberately released. "The fat man took it back from a distance with sharp eyes and laughed at the corners of his mouth." Don’t forget, the Four Nations Alliance is fighting the empire. Going south must have been preparing for war in the country. In addition to armaments, there is another extremely important thing that needs to be purchased."

"Your Majesty said... Grain? The Four-Nation Alliance wants to buy food again!" Hu Keqili's body trembled slightly, and his nose made a deep inhalation sound, this time I was afraid it was really dark under the lights. I can’t see it. I didn’t even notice such obvious things. The main reason was the fact that the four-nation alliance bought out the food some time ago and then released the food. It really makes people unconsciously ignore this possibility

"Yes, don’t forget, the four countries in the four-nation alliance are all landlocked countries, and none of them are fertile food producing areas. Half of the Rila Kingdom is mountainous, and the Ikal Kingdom is spanned by a huge canyon. The rivers and waterways cannot be unblocked. The Kingdom of Martin Liya is an arid grassland. The Kingdom of Karisu is a large area of ​​dense woodland. Except for King Karisu, the army of the other three countries gathered to fight the empire’s southward movement. No less than 300,000 people, 300,000 people of food, for the three southern countries that are not large-producing countries, the heavy burden can be imagined"

The fat man nodded, looked at Hu Keqili, his voice paused and said, "The Four-Nation Alliance immediately let go of the order in hand. It was originally intended to impact the food price of the Imperial Capital. If it causes a major collapse of the Imperial Capital, it will not only be possible. Attacking the empire’s commerce, and you can buy more food at low prices, but the Four Nations Alliance would never have thought that I secretly funded Princess Mingyue 2 million Imperial Gold, and the food released by the Four Nations Alliance was picked up by Princess Mingyue. I live, although the purchase of 2 million Imperial Gold accounts for only one-fifth of the total amount of food in the Imperial Capital, it is enough to give the Imperial Capital market a sufficient buffer. Although the price of Imperial Capital has fallen, the magnitude is not large. The four-nation alliance has been slow to take action. It should be feared that once the news leaks, the price of food in the Imperial Capital will immediately rise. After all, the food merchants in the Imperial Capital are all hating them. The best way is naturally to remain calm in the last time. The secret trade is the best. At this moment, it’s hard to say if I have been in contact with the grain merchants a long time ago!"

"Your Majesty, do you need your subordinates to control the entire Imperial Capital’s grain merchants?" Hu Keqili gritted his teeth and grunted. The fact that the Four Nations Alliance bought the Imperial Capital’s grain has been regarded as a shame by the empire, but It is the nature of merchants to expel their interests. In the face of sufficient profits, there are definitely grain merchants who dare to take risks. They simply arrest these merchants, so that even if merchants want to buy, they will not dare to sell to the four southern countries!

"If you really catch all the grain merchants, it will inevitably cause the Emperor to panic, then it will really help the other party." The fat man rolled his eyes and tapped his finger on the marble balcony. "Since he knows Shikoku If the alliance wants to buy food, then don’t make a slash. You call all the food merchants in the Imperial Capital and tell them that from now on, the price of the Imperial Food has tripled. If it is affected and cannot be sold, the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs will meet at the New Year’s Meeting. After it is over, we will purchase all at the original price! The money earned goes to the merchant, and if it is not sold, the price can be insured. Even if a merchant actually contacts the Four-Nation Alliance privately, the price of food will inevitably increase!""

"Yes, the subordinates know what to do" Hu Keqili respectfully gave a military salute, turned and left the emperor's office

With Hu Keqili, the first man in the imperial military, came forward and made a promise that soon, all food merchants in the Imperial Capital raised prices collectively

"Is it dazzling, or the imperial merchants who are crazy? The price of food has tripled!" In the imperial trade hall, a foreign merchant who came to buy food looked at the wooden sign hanging the price of food with bulging eyes It was changed to a triple number, and the businessmen all around came around at once, watching the rolling increase in food prices, all of them were dumbfounded, and then they made an uproar.

"Today is an eye-opener!"

"Oh my God~IndoMTL.com~What the **** is going on!" The chamber attracted countless people coming to this side, all kinds of whispering, they were discussing the imperial grain merchants. What kind of excitement, who dare to play like this and raise the price three times in one go, who can stand it! It’s selling food here and there, this is a robbery,

"What's the matter, why is it so noisy?"

"Food prices soared"

In an unobtrusive place in the trade hall, a middle-aged man who was sitting leisurely on a bench by the window and napping was also awakened. Hearing the noise around him, the middle-aged man rubbed. After rubbing his eyes, I heard all kinds of discussions about food in my ears, and my face that was still a little confused could not help but change slightly, no way! Food prices have tripled. . . . . This middle-aged man rushed to the place where the crowd gathered. The moment he saw the wooden sign of the food price, his face became as gray as death. What's the matter, how can the price of food have tripled? Where is this middle-aged man? I dared to delay, rushed out of the trade hall and ran towards the villa where the Four Nations Special Envoy was located. While running, he was still muttering "things are in trouble"
