Chapter 385 [Conquest]
"... Lantis Chamber of Commerce. Every year, they buy a lot of iron ore from the Byzantine Empire through various channels! But according to the equipment of their standing army, they don't need so many iron ore to build iron. But ... interestingly, they sell a certain number of weapons every year, including high-quality Landis bows, high-quality Landis shields and swords ... Of course, because we still keep ahead in the forging technology of armor Therefore, the armor produced by the Landis did not sell much on the mainland.
In simple terms, they buy iron ore or even pig iron from the mainland at a low price, then take it back, make it into a weapon, and sell it to us at an expensive price. "
In the end, the girl's eyes glowed with a sharp light, and said slowly: "The teacher once said that the Landis were a vampire! They would **** enough blood from us and Odin every year, This blood is supporting the nation of Landis more and more ...
At the same time, the biggest winner of every war between us and the Odins is always the Landis!
Such a country ... the teacher once said during his lifetime, if we can't make fundamental or huge changes ... then, in the next few decades. Landis will surpass us in all aspects! By that time ... a neighbor who has been fattened by us, a neighbor with hundreds of thousands of potential troops, a powerful navy can directly attack any landing point ... Will they still sit and watch overseas in peace? ? "
When Via heard this, she finally got a little moved. She looked at the **** the soft couch: "These ... were all known by the teacher? He ... I only told you ?!"
"Because I'm the one he chose, and the one the teacher thinks best understands his mind," the girl said lightly.
Via clenched his fists: "Since you already knew this, why did you drag in the Landis in this war? Don't think I don't know, you met the Gallons Chamber of Commerce!"
"This is the teacher's choice ... precisely because we know the real ambitions of the Landis, they will definitely be involved in this war! Therefore, we can persuade them to join this gamble. The teacher said: This is the next two decades The best opportunity that the Landis can see, so they will not refuse! The arrival of the storm son Gislent proves that the teacher's prediction is correct. "
Via frowned. "So what are you worried about?"
The girl smiled wryly: "My worry is very simple ... the teacher said that even if he is God, he cannot guarantee that every decision is correct, and that he cannot predict everything. For example ... Cantos His Majesty's illness is a little earlier than the teacher anticipated during his lifetime. This is an unexpected factor, but this factor ... but it brings variables to the overall gamble. "
Via thinks for a moment before saying: "You mean ... Her Majesty Garcia, he ..."
"The Emperor Cantos is not a bright monarch." The girl's tone was a bit mocking: "Although he has some advantages, he also has many potential shortcomings, but these shortcomings are well covered by the teacher, or , Are hidden under the teacher's light. These shortcomings include: stubborn self-use, too heavy suspicion, and indecision in critical moments ... Actually these shortcomings. I need not say too many things to prove, as long as there is a fact It is enough to prove his incompetence. "
The girl shook her head and sighed: "He has a teacher such as a wise man, and it took him twenty years to fail to bring improvement to this country, which is enough to prove his incompetence! The teacher once said that it looks like Cantos the Great To him is a hundred percent, but in fact, the emperor did not believe anyone at all. In one hundred things, the Emperor Cantos would obey the teacher's opinions on ninety-nine unimportant things, but the problem It is the most important thing, but the old emperor tends to go his own way and does not listen to anyone's opinions at all. The teacher spent twenty years, and most of his life was wasted on various mistakes for the old emperor. Make decisions to make up the hole.
His Majesty Garcia is a bit smarter than the old emperor. At least he knows how to keep a low profile, but there is an important flaw in his character. This has caused the teacher to give up his expectations long ago. This flaw is: extreme! "
extreme!
It's hard to imagine that from the girl's mouth, the evaluation of the Garcia emperor was actually extreme.
You know, the world ’s point of view is that the empire is now the young emperor. From the time he was the Crown Prince, he was considered to be a stable person, strictly observing various etiquette, and even a dull guy.
Such a person was considered by Carvey Hill to be-extreme!
"He hides very well, but because of the deep hiding, once he succeeds, he doesn't need to hide, then the emotions that have accumulated for too long before will also be particularly strong when it erupts. Our young man Your Majesty, I'm so anxious. "
The girl's expression was helpless: "The situation now is that Byzantine needs Landis and the strong support of an ally! The people of Landis are waiting for this opportunity! When we are most helpless, wait for us to take the initiative to put down our attitude to them Seek the greatest help. The current situation was originally: we are in a hurry, but the Landis are also anxious! They are anxious to wait for us to speak to them! This should have been a time when the two sides competed for patience and wisdom.
In fact, if the old emperor is still alive, the kind of hesitantness of the Emperor Cantos at the critical moment will help us a lot! At least the old emperor would not be so anxious to ask for a meeting with Gislent immediately!
But ... our young Majesty, according to what I know, he has been at least three times ready to formally meet with the Landis! The previous two times were discouraged by Lord Adrik and Salenbonelli's Prime Minister-thankfully, our Minister of Military Affairs and Prime Minister are all understandable. But this time, Her Majesty's patience was finally exhausted, and he had made the final decision to return to see Gislent in the palace tonight.
The Landis waited for the moment they were waiting for.
At this time, the emperor Garcia was anxious. No doubt it is equal to the Landis: Come on! Come and blackmail me! Just let the lion talk!
And I believe that the Landis must be happy to do so. "

In the afternoon, the old housekeeper of the Prime Minister's House saw the worried expression of the old Prime Minister Salenbonelli when he returned home. The old housekeeper's heart was very disturbed, and what made him even more disturbed was that the old prime minister soon had the private doctor at home after being returned to the house-the old prime minister had a stomachache again.
After taking the medicine, the prime minister did not take a short nap after taking the medicine, as he did every time when he became ill, but locked himself in the study, and sent a companion to the Imperial Finance Department to put one box at a time. The various dossiers moved back. Then I hid in the study and looked through the whole afternoon.
Except for the old housekeeper who is trusted by the Prime Minister, he can enter the study room and send tea to the Prime Minister. Others are strictly prohibited from disturbing the Prime Minister's work.
When the old housekeeper entered and left the study room several times, he saw the Prime Minister sitting on the cold floor with no image, surrounded by messy files.
The Prime Minister's face is hard to look at, the gloom that can't be said, even with a deep sense of loss and shackles, and a hint of anxiety!
The old housekeeper remembered that the last time the prime minister had become so out of control, it was the night before the death of His Majesty the Emperor Cantos.
One afternoon, the Prime Minister sat in the dossier and muttered to himself, holding his head.
When the old housekeeper entered the study room for the last time, and delivered the medicine to the Prime Minister, Salem Bonelli suddenly jumped up and stared at his housekeeper with a kind of crazy look. Then he grabbed the butler's arm, and even carelessly spilled the medicine on the ground.
"I ask you a question!"
"... Yes, sir!" The steward's tone was a little flustered.
Salem Bonelli took a deep breath and stared at the housekeeper with a weird look: "I ask you ... if there is such a group of people, they are at sea all year round and those dangerous, unknown, countless storms In the face of a vast and unknown ocean, they can resolutely turn unknown areas into their own familiar routes ... They are not afraid of death. They are not afraid of adventure ... Such people will Is it 'no ambition'? Will it be 'no danger, no aggressiveness'? "
The housekeeper was stunned by this inexplicable question, and he swallowed for a while before swallowing: "Well ... probably, probably ... no."
"Of course not!" Salenbonelli shook his head firmly, and he waved his arm fiercely: "The most adventurous army is the navy! The most aggressive army is also the navy! And Landis is a navy Country! Why can't you see their danger ?! "
The voice of the Prime Minister suddenly became extremely excited: "Why can't we take a deeper breath! Why can't we stabilize again! As long as we maintain our own confidence! Or make a look of confidence! As long as we Show that we can control the situation by ourselves, and we can win the war ... So the anxious are the Landis! They are more anxious than us to get involved in this war! They are more anxious to get this Opportunity! Why can't you be patient any more? Why ?! This is a bad time! There can be no worse than this! "
Having said that, the old prime minister suddenly seemed like a discouraged ball. The whole body suddenly seemed to have settled down. His eyes were dimmed, and he looked at his arms holding him, and some panic housekeepers waved his hands weakly. "Okay ... I just can't figure out something ... you don't have to be afraid. Well, I'm not eating dinner at home, let someone come and freshen up and dress me, and I'm going to the palace for dinner."
The old housekeeper paused: "But, sir, your body, you were sick just now ..."
"I must go." The old prime minister suddenly smiled, his smile bitter: "This will be a huge extortion! Such an interesting thing, rare in a century, how can I miss it! Haha! Hahahahaha!"

"Since you know everything--you know everything and everything, why don't you want to stop it?"
Via looked coldly at the girl in front of him, the youngest student around Mr. Cavill Hill, who had been silently following Mr. Cavill Hill's shadow like a little tail before.
Via's tone was a little sarcastic: "Why don't you do something?"
"Because I can't help it." The girl put down the scroll in her hand: "Emperor Cantos died too soon and too early, which undermined the teacher's overall plan. Her Majesty Garcia returned to see Gislent, Gislent Guys are bound to put forward extremely harsh conditions. Emperor Garcia, eager to receive strong assistance, is likely to accept such extortion. In this case, what else do you think we can do to stop it? "
Via looked down and thought for a moment. When she looked up, the purple eyes glowed with sharp light.
"I'm good at one thing-killing people!"
The girl's expression faded, her expression suddenly became complicated, and she took three deep breaths in a row. The girl let her body relax again.
"... I can't make this decision." The girl frowned, her tone a little helpless, and even a little self-blame: "I'm not a teacher. If the teacher is here, maybe he has the courage to make such a decision-even he May not hesitate to order you to assassinate Gislent! This way to stop this extortion! But ... I can't do it! Although I also think that if the teacher is alive, 70% of them may do it That decision was made, but ... I just couldn't do it. "
"why?"
Faced with Via's questioning, the girl suddenly smiled bitterly: "Because I didn't dare! Because I wasn't a teacher! Because once I did that, how to remedy it afterwards, I asked myself that I couldn't solve it."

Gislent stood before the mirror.
His beard has just been trimmed to the side, making his face look angular and full of masculine beauty.
A brand-new military suit of the brand-new Royal Landis Royal Navy was placed on his body, double-row gold buttons, shiny epaulets, and badges of senior naval officers on his chest, and a gorgeous strap was also approved.
The sharpness of his leather boots ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The scabbards of the command knives hanging on his waist are brand new!
Gislent grimaced in the mirror, then smiled slightly: "I'm looking forward to this meeting. How much concession do you think the rabbit emperor will accept?"
In the room, behind Gislent, a handsome young man sat on a chair and looked at Gislent with a smile.
This is the young man who has been hidden in the Gallons Chamber of Commerce.
"Although Her Majesty Garcia was my companion not long ago ... but I really can't guess what he will do now." The handsome young man smiled: "Go, Gislent! Go for the Kingdom Win it! You know, the way to open up territory is not just to rely on war! "
"I know ... Well, the way to open up territory is not just to rely on war-Your Highness, I remember this sentence, it seems that when he was listening to Cavie Hill ’s lecture at the Military Academy, did he say it himself? "
Gislent turned and stared at the young man, who both smiled confidently.
