An official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was silent for a while, and asked in a condensed voice, "Man, have you sent away?"
"His Royal Highness has already sent off Karisu last night, I believe that she is already waiting for His Highness Palschenna on the west coast at this moment." Standing in front of the emperor, it was the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came to report this time from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The undersecretary Scarrigu, who is about forty years old, has sharp eyesight, and it is the time when the most energy and experience are the most prosperous.
His respectful body leaned forward at a twenty-five degree angle and said, "For the seventeen priests of the Sky Temple, after consultations between the Ministry of the Interior and the Sky Temple Priest, they decided to be buried as missionary priests. It’s just that the family behind these seventeen people claimed that these seventeen people were killed in a barren land like Kalisu, and the military hurriedly reached a conclusion without careful investigation. They jointly asked the business alliance to send someone to Kalisu to investigate. This matter"
"Oh, how did the business alliance respond?"
The imperial emperor narrowed his eyes and put down the teacup in his hand, but the air in the room seemed to be lower at this moment,
"The business alliance accepted the request, but stated that it needs to wait for the deacon’s meeting to give a reply. The subordinates believe that this matter will not be resolved in the end." Scarrigou replied calmly, as an experienced The foreign affairs officer is naturally quite familiar with this kind of word game. Everyone knows that these priests were sent to the south by the emperor's order. Now they have died in the war on the west coast of the south. The military has reached a conclusion and even involved. When it came to the Battle of Roston, which destroyed the entire Hokuriku aristocratic group, the business alliance accepted it only because of the face of these seventeen high-profile businessmen. It had no choice but to accept the application for investigation, but immediately kicked it. After the deacon board, this is basically telling the seventeen wealthy businessmen that they will save you face, but this is the end of the matter. Although the deacon board represents the highest authority of the business alliance, it must let the twelve deacons go to talk to the emperor* *Fang is arrogant, isn't this trying to kill himself!
"This time the business alliance has learned a lot." The Emperor stood up, came to the window, looked at the city streets under the bright sunshine outside the window, and said in a condensed voice, "Inspect the back of these seventeen wealthy merchants. See who is fueling the flames"
Scarrigu lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness originally wanted to investigate the seventeen families, but now the nations are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial killing of 60,000 Northland Nobles in Roston. His Royal Highness thinks that if we investigate this at this time, Seventeen wealthy merchants were afraid that they would lay down their accusations against the empire, so the investigation was only stopped at the beginning"
"Stop it?"
The dark-haired emperor turned around with a slightly surprised look, his eyes fell on Skarigu’s face, and he snorted, "The foreign affairs department of the dignified imperial government hasn't been able to investigate the seventeen wealthy merchants? Now the whole of Europa Looking at this war, whether it is the enemies of the empire or the alliances of the empire, all they think about is grabbing their own share of interest in this battle that determines the hegemony of the South, and the nations are holding on to Roston’s. If you keep fighting, you may not have the desire to take advantage of the fire. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows a weak and compromised mind, it is tantamount to telling others that the empire currently needs to deal with Martin Liya with all its strength and is temporarily unable to control the nations! You know! What does this mean?"
"this"
Scarrigu's body shook slightly and his face became quite ugly,
"You don’t think that I asked the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be tough externally, just because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a mistake in handling Central Europe’s Barro strategy!" The imperial emperor swept over with sharp eyes like a knife, from Scully. In Gu's stiff expression, the Emperor had already determined his own vision, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Sometimes, I really doubt that your foreign affairs department is doing food! As the foreign affairs department, don't you even have the most basic vision? !"
'The ministers are terrified! "Scarigu said this in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart
Actually, he proposed to temporarily stop the investigation. Turrett Colleen also agreed with this view. Originally, he only believed that this time the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs had resolutely returned to the joint protests against the countries. In fact, the emperor’s response to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was As a result of the anger of Central Europe’s wrong policy, Skarigu knew from the heart that this kind of toughness is actually quite dangerous to the empire, especially now that the empire is fully coping with the war in the south, and a large number of military supplies are transferred to the south, even The elites of the empires stationed in Central Europe and Baro and Istanbul are all moving. The two regions are empty. Once the dilemma of multi-line war is caused, it is not just a simple fight for the hegemony of the South, and it may even lose the empire. In the past few years, most of the regions that have suffered **** expansion, such as Feshan and Istanbul, are afraid it will be difficult to keep them.
This time, it’s not the time for the empire to be strong.
So this time, even though he knew that it might arouse the emperor’s anger, he personally petitioned Princess Turrit Corinne and asked to meet the emperor in person. In his stomach, he had listed ten things that could make the emperor change his strategy. Reasons, and he is also convinced that as long as the emperor listens to his ten reasons, he will definitely choose to adjust
What kind of person is the Emperor of the Empire, how could he fail to see that Skarigu’s attitude is problematic, and he couldn’t help but sneered and said, “As the Imperial Foreign Officer, don’t you see it? The big tycoon, the Erot Empire split, the sect self-mutilated in civil war, the Harvey Kingdom was stabbed in the back by his ally Martin Liya, and now it has hidden on the plateau. Even the regional powerhouse Karisu Kingdom has been affected by the war. , And the country that was defeated in love in just half a month was replaced by a small force called Anse. This kind of chaos, looking at a hundred years, has never happened before. Almost all the major southern European countries. All have suffered losses. This is like the spring after the cold. I don’t know how many ambitious monarchs’ nerves are affected. The Empire and the Martin Liya people will become the overlord of Southern Europe. For the small and medium-sized forces, In fact, it is not important. What these small and medium-sized forces value is the opportunity brought by this chaos."
"What does this mean?"
Scarrigu's face was stunned for a moment, and he had some disapproval on his face. At this moment, he was moved. Is the emperor a foreign affairs officer or is he a foreign affairs officer? How come these ideas have never been heard before! Although, as a foreign official, most of the reasons he painstakingly used to persuade the emperor were based on the empire itself, he did not expect that the emperor’s base was the entire Southern Obaro. This gap made this senior foreign official ruthless. Was hit once
Scarrigu’s face was black, and the emperor didn’t say anything about it. Now that I talk about it, I just think about it. The hairs on the back of Scarrigu’s neck are standing up, even on his forehead. I broke out in a cold sweat
Southern European Baro has a stable ruling pattern for more than 100 years, because the rise of the empire is no longer alive, and the great powers over the small and medium forces, such as the Fazer Kingdom, the Fashan Kingdom, the Erot Empire, and the Aden Kingdom, are in short In the short two years, there was either a split or a major loss of strength, and it was no longer able to control the situation. With the reshuffle of these big forces, the original power map has shrunk significantly, so the number of small vassals that cannot be controlled has reached hundreds. Among them, there are not a few who have considerable strength, because being able to break free from the control of these great powers represents a certain amount of strength. At a time, there are many princes with tens of thousands of soldiers, 30,000, and 40,000, like a secretive Han. The Lushan-like alliance of small and medium-sized forces also smelled an opportunity to break the ground
These vacated areas after the collapse of the great powers are undoubtedly the focus of competition between small and medium forces at this time. The flames of war are not only burning between the empire and the southern powers, but are now three-quarters of the entire southern European country. They are all in the midst of war. Take the southern subsidiary areas of the Fezer Kingdom as an example. Although they belong to the territory of the empire, they are not peaceful. Small-scale conflicts have never been broken. When the empire was destroyed, several critical small duchy took advantage of the fire and looted and seized the critical area. The empire’s control area was mainly concentrated in the land of the royal capital. Because of the need to deal with the 300,000 army of Anse, it is impossible to take the entire Kali The Soviet area is protected
Furthermore, in this era, the boundary line between country and country, power and power is also very vague. Generally it is a forest, a mountain range, a river, and some are even horizontal strips based on a tree. In the past, it was just a kick. When the empire gradually stabilized the northern part of Karisu, the surrounding area would have been swallowed by these small countries for a full thirty or forty miles ~ IndoMTL.com ~ thirty or forty miles, placing it in the eyes of a big country. It's just a city territory, but as a small and medium country, the length and width of the entire kingdom is about six or seven hundred miles, and thirty or forty miles is one-twentieth missing.
But this kind of thing, the empire can’t do anything about it. They are all the empire’s nominal vassal states, and the border delimitation itself is not documented. In the end, most of them are ignored. As the empire’s foreign official, Skarigu, Naturally, he knew of this situation, so his Majesty pointed it out, and immediately the whole person was stunned. Skarigu couldn't help feeling cool and whizzing behind his back. Almost, he was about to make a joke.
If you really follow your own suggestions, the empire will soften its attitude towards the Battle of Roston, I am afraid that for these ambitious small and medium forces, it will undoubtedly be a signal that the empire is unable to control the situation. The empire is in South Obalo. There are more than 20 nominal vassal kingdoms under control, and there are also six central countries. Because of the huge debts of the imperial bank, they are afraid that they will be destroyed like the Hokuriku nobles. The six central countries are also The backbone of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested the most, so it’s no wonder that the jump is the most ferocious. If the empire is defeated, the tentacles of the forces will have to return to the south, and the six kings in the central part of the country can justifiably fail to pay the bills
This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity does not happen all the time. Compared with the six countries in the central region, the minds of other small and medium-sized forces are obvious. Anse people can succeed in replacing the Kalisu people, why can’t you do it yourself? !
