Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 443: We need a war
The Royal Capital of Sirius, the Dome Palace, the Council Hall.
"Your Admiralty is the root of everything at present. If it hadn't lost the entire fleet of treasures, how could the kingdom face this dilemma?"
"Your accusations are totally groundless. In the face of force majeure, no one can do better than Lieutenant General Doyle Griffits, Captain of the Red Maple!
And your Ministry of Finance shouts every day to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Our Admiralty has cooperated with you to cut military expenditures by 20%. It was hard to suppress the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. I would like to ask your ‘source’? "
"This..."
The senior official of the kingdom’s finance department muttered in his heart: ‘If I can open source, I’ll talk to you as a fool, here? ’
He is also in trouble now. The kingdom’s current predicament is not a problem as long as there is money, but the biggest problem is that there is no money!
The production capacity of the colonial gold and silver mines is limited due to various reasons; the Dutch bank group, the largest creditor of the kingdom, refused to increase the loan to Hilius based on a risk assessment; currently only the colonies in the southern continent can be normal Operation, but it is so easy to expand the scale of financial resources, unless...
At this time, a civilian general of the Ministry of War stood up, and also pointed the finger at the Ministry of Finance, and it was as firm as a kidney attack.
"From the beginning of fiscal tightening last year, you have spammed out excess currencies that are not commensurate with the precious metal content. As a result, the price of goods has gradually increased to 350% with the influx of gold and silver in the New World in the past 100 years. In just less than a year It has soared to 500% in time.
This month, a large-scale riot and rebellion were launched by the low-level untouchables in the former Franco Principality in the Kingdom Conquered Area. Our army had spent a lot of effort to suppress it, and this was not an isolated incident. Many subordinates in the conquered area The untouchables are already ready to move.
Where is the root cause? I don’t need to say more, right? "
The Ministry of Finance became a target of public criticism for a while.
‘This...Isn’t it being forced by you? And how can you blame us for things that your Majesty and the Royal Council have agreed on? With such a roar in his heart, the senior official could only bite the bullet and quibble:
"A temporary increase in prices can be perfectly resolved. Through large-scale purchases of goods from other countries, it is cheap and cost-effective, and it can also transfer domestic risks.
Including the industrially developed tulip countries, the entire country is just laborers serving us, no different from those lowly handicraftsmen in the kingdom. "
"Besides, the plantations and minerals of the major colonies are seriously lacking manpower? You can drive all the untouchables who can't live in the kingdom to the colonies, where they should be the most."
This sentence is right and right. Obviously this is what this "why not eat meat" big man really thinks. However, under the influence of totalitarianism, the kingdom has already turned a blind eye to the gap between rich and poor.
However, he didn't mention the colony. It's okay. When he mentioned the colony, all the senior leaders of the kingdom frowned, and all kinds of bad news about the colonies of the New World during this period of time appeared in their hearts.
No matter how arrogant and sluggish, after a full few months, the senior officials of the kingdom have realized the establishment of a broad anti-Hilius alliance.
And the looting behavior of this group of **** has greatly disrupted the shipping order between the old and new continents. In the past few months, the loss of both official and private merchant ships has been unprecedented.
The Black Sea Goddess revived and occupied the original "Eye of the Black Sea," and most of the naval bases along the route were scrapped. The strength of the navy stationed by Hilius has been stretched and he is temporarily unable to maintain the safety of the route.
even had no money to rebuild a new naval base.
has almost fallen into a vicious circle.
To make matters worse, a large-scale and sudden epidemic attacked all the colonies around the Golden Sea. The Deputy King District of New Hillius, the Deputy King District of New Granada, and the Deputy King District of Myron, including St. Dominic Island, the largest island on the Golden Sea, failed to escape.
Although the vice kings are approaching Falitis, who has developed a special antidote in the same disaster, and started to purchase that special drug on a large scale, heavy losses are inevitable.
"In this matter, the four deputy kings of the colony are undoubtedly serious malfeasance!"
"How can natural and man-made disasters be blamed on the vice kings?"
"..."
A group of people in the chamber were blushing with noise. In the end, they even turned into random cannons regardless of the enemy and allies, as long as they don't let the person on the throne get angry to them.
This royal meeting has been arguing for two hours, but nothing has been achieved during the period.
Prime Minister, ministers of various ministries, admiralty, war department, think tank... it is also mixed with royal parties, church factions, representatives of great aristocrats, central representatives of colonial lieutenants, etc., you After Fang sang, I made my debut.
But there is only one core theme: "I won't recite this pot, you recite it!"
Philip II, who wore a blue diamond crown and a magnificent royal attire, felt that he had hardly heard any decent good news since he was engaged to the princess of the Habsburg family.
The only War Department successfully resolved the rebellion, but it just cleaned up another mess.
At this time, I heard that they were quarreling and piercing the sores on the kingdom one by one. Even the ruler of the world's most powerful country couldn't help but wonder whether his country was about to end?
couldn't help but stretched out his hand and squeezed his forehead, looking at the highest-ranking people sitting below.
Hilius, who was founded in the army, is of course respected by soldiers. Under the prime minister of the kingdom, Bartlett is Faffman, the Field Marshal and Secretary of War, and Bancrot, the Marshal and Secretary of the Navy.
and... Anduen, the great wizard of the "Cursing School" who has become the chief confidant of the think tank.
They are also the most likely to influence the king and determine the future direction of this country.
may also feel that these people have been arguing for too long, after noticing Philip II's gaze.
腾——
Field Marshal Faffman, wearing a military uniform with shining medals on his chest, slowly stood up like a towering city wall.
bowed slightly to Philip II who was sitting on the throne, even if he tried to restrain it, but his mouth was like thunder, and the words he said were like a thunder, which instantly made the discussion hall silent.
"Great Majesty, we need a new foreign war!"
At the same time, the prime minister and the admiral looked at each other without making a sound, apparently both had acquiesced.
There is a chaos in the country, and the dissatisfaction of all classes is high. Now, there is nothing more capable of diverting domestic conflicts than a war.
On the other side, the great wizard who only serves the king's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded slightly at the majesty who was looking over.
Now, for better or worse, there is a way to break the predicament after all.
......
The South Continent across the Treasure Sea, the capital of the Sac Empire colony, the City of Saint Louis.
Although it is almost late at night, many places in this capital city are still brightly lit, and they have a prosperous scene not inferior to the local cities.
A unique garden house stands quietly in the residential area of dignitaries and nobles in the city center. It is surrounded by a large park with green trees. Although the building is small, it is exquisite and delicate. .
Even in front of the exquisite iron gate, there are two heavily armed official city guards guarding it day and night. Obviously, the identity of the master here is extraordinary.
"Hey, David, did you see Mrs. Diana's face during the day on duty today?"
"Look...I saw it. Although I wore a flimsy veil when I came back, I bet that it must be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.
Your Excellency Governor is really blessed. Not only does he have a noble background, he can enjoy such a beauty. "
"If I can spend the night in this house, I will be executed immediately by the Governor!"
Putting aside the unrealistic fantasies of the two guards, the governor who ruled here is the only brother of the emperor, Prince Clement.
Because the royal families of all countries can trace back to at least one Tier 4 title, as the descendants of the pinnacle transcendents, all descendants, no matter how talented they are, will naturally become official knights as long as they reach adulthood.
You don’t need to go through a thrilling physical fierce test like ordinary people do, you can naturally master the extraordinary power of this kind of knight.
Correspondingly, when the powerful power is passed down in the blood, the royal family members of all countries are not very prosperous, just like the Sark Empire only has these two brothers.
Although this prince Clement has a noble background, but his talent is not good, he also knows how many catties he has. After slowly reaching the peak of the official knight with his physical attributes over the years, he no longer cared about the path of transcendence, let alone political affairs.
Arty artist, addicted to wine and profligate, has become his label.
Even the low-level soldiers don't respect the prince in secret, and the envy of his turbulent experience is true.
However, the prince is the prince after all. With a strong team of staff, although the fifty-two-year-old and unmarried **** is not very reliable, at least there is no big trouble.
In the heart of the capital, building a beautiful house for the lover and giving extra-standard treatment is just a trivial matter.
While the two guards were chatting, they didn't know that in the love nest that the governor had built for his canary, strangers had already mixed in.
In the middle of the bedroom where the lights have already been extinguished, a figure that seems to be condensed into darkness quietly squatted there, asking in a tone very familiar with the hostess here:
"Fanes, can you guarantee that the **** Clement will not send troops when Hilius launches the plan? Neither the kingdom nor Mr. Anduen want the scale of the war to expand endlessly."
A lady wearing only a translucent white gauze nightdress under the moonlight~IndoMTL.com~ Weak and boneless leaning on the chaise longue by the window, the slightly curly waves of long hair spread like clouds, The slightly exposed skin is as warm as jade and as smooth as snow.
in the dimness, her exquisite and graceful posture seems to be just as maddening. Even the condensed charm of substance makes the black shadow who thinks he is determined to feel a little swaying.
"Venomous bee, do you need to have any questions? Just stand by and let him help Hilius.
is a difficult thing for others, but it’s just a trivial matter to me. "
The cat-like laziness has a slightly hoarse voice, which is as intoxicating as a fragrant red wine.
But the black shadow named "Poison Bee" frowned secretly after hearing this:
"Have you used a potion? Bewitched? Cursed control? Isn't this kind of insurance safe?"
The lady lying on her side raised her slender jade hand, and gently brushed her cool cheeks, burning red lips, exquisite clavicle... until she reached her slender and straight thighs, she took out a mouthful. The fragrance of rose:
"Cuckold, do you think a prince who is tightly guarded against extraordinary powers will be controlled by this simple trick? The reason is simple, he just fell in love with me."
stepped on the small stool and walked down from the chaise longue, carrying the room full of moonlight, and walking to the shadow of the shadow with a demeanor, gently leaned over and put the red lips to his ears :
"Love is crazy like crazy! Hell..."
After finishing talking, I was already shaking with laughter.
The "poisonous bee" who understands the nature of his partner, instead of feeling any charm at this time, there is only a deep chill from the bottom of my heart.
Because the wizard name "Faniez" has another alias, that is-the **** of the sexes!
