It is already two o'clock in the night, but the entire palace is brightly lit, and almost all the important ministers in the capital have been summoned. The past two weeks have been pretty good, and the ambassador of the Suppression Army in Beijing is not looking for trouble.
The restoration work of Di State was also progressing in an orderly manner, and the emperor was relieved. However, suddenly the report early this morning made the emperor anxious.
If it were an ordinary matter, it would be impossible to gather all the important officials of the court. This matter is really too important, and it is related to the development plan of Dongdi Kingdom in the next few years. Although this money is all Dongdi businessmen
Yes, but many of them are just names, and most of them belong to the Dongdi government.
"You all tell me what should we do about this matter? How can we get this money back? We suffered heavy losses in this battlefield. Without this money, there is no hope for the revival of Dongdi Kingdom."
The emperor of Dongdi Kingdom seemed to have aged twenty years overnight. The people below could even see the wrinkles on the emperor's face. It's no wonder that this scene happened. Ever since the rise of the Suppression Army, there has been no such thing in Dongdi Kingdom.
After living a good life, first the peace policy was ruined, then the lease of Haicheng was lost, and then the fleet was destroyed...
When he thought of these things, the emperor felt that his heart was about to explode. He was obviously the master of the ZTE in history and could lead Dongdi into the ranks of world powers, but why did he still let Gao Shaoyi train himself?
?At the beginning, the emperor felt that this was a kind of training. After all, all good things come hard. But now he doesn't think it is a kind of training. It is more like a kind of death, a death without any hope at all.
The ministers of Dongdi Kingdom were submissive, and they didn't know how to answer this question. If we had a fleet before, we could still unite with the Rakshasa Empire. Now that the fleet has been completely destroyed, the remaining few ships have also been destroyed.
They were all found, either burning at sea or captured by the suppressing army. I don’t know where they got so many fleets from.
As an island country, surrounded by sea, no matter how brave your army is, without a fleet, I am afraid that the army will not be of any use. Now Dongdi has two million soldiers, but what is the use?
Can your army grow wings and fly over? Even if you have armed your army, it is useless if you can't see the suppressing army.
"Nobusuke Kishi, answer my question."
Kishi Nobusuke is a hardliner in the Dongdi government. He has been the foreign minister of the entire Dongdi country before. However, since the Suppression Army occupied Hengfu Port, this guy felt that there was no hope for the revival of Dongdi, so he resigned directly because of illness.
He took this position and still retains his status as a cabinet minister.
If the emperor asked himself such a question half a year ago, the answer would be too simple. Order our fleet to attack the coastal cities of the Daqian Empire, and then lead two or three divisions to kill them directly. No matter what we have
The Daqian Empire probably wouldn't dare to say anything about the request.
But things that were considered very simple in the past may not be possible now even if you try your best. There are still many warships of the Daqian Empire in our outer seas. They can attack our coastal industrial zones at any time. At present,
The imperial court still has little income. If they blow up the coastal industrial zone, then Dongdi will return to the status of an agricultural country.
"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, please consider it carefully."
When he didn't have any opinions, he could only answer the emperor's question like this. Nobusuke Kishi didn't want to go into this muddy water. Everyone could see that it was impossible to get this money back. What kind of army was it to suppress the captives?
Army? What kind of person is Gao Shaoyi? Can he still give you what he eats?
"That's nonsense. Don't I know how big this matter is? Do I still need you to remind me? I'm asking you now how to solve this matter instead of letting you stand here."
When facing the court elders, the emperor is usually polite and corporal. Even the more annoying ones will never speak in such a harsh tone, but at this moment I really can't help it.
In normal times, you are supported by such a high salary, and you often publish various editorials in newspapers. You seem to be very smart, but why can't you say a word when something happens? Do you only know how to do it?
Are you using such nonsense to frustrate the court?
The other people looked at Nobusuke Kishi with some sympathy. Fortunately, the emperor is asking you. If this question were asked to our heads, we would definitely not be able to answer it. We can only answer the same as you.
"Your Majesty, if you let me answer this, I will treat it as if this has never happened, and we will surely suffer a loss."
Nobusuke Kishi knew that he couldn't hide. If the emperor wanted to operate on him, he was already over seventy years old. He had everything he needed to eat, drink, and play. It didn't matter what happened.
"Idiot, is this what an important minister of a country should answer? Do you know how much we lost this time? We lost hundreds of millions of silver coins, which is more than what we got from the Daqian Empire."
After hearing Nobusuke Kishi's reply, the emperor rushed down from the stage and slapped him in the face. Everyone looked at Nobusuke Kishi with great sympathy. They also knew that from last night to now for more than two hours, the emperor's heart has been
Holding back his anger, but still unable to find a place to send it out, Nobusuke Kishi finally gave the emperor a chance and made an explanation.
"The humble minister cannot share the Lord's worries, and the humble minister deserves to die."
Although the corner of Kishi Nobusuke's mouth was bleeding from the beating, he was very clear about the hierarchy of seniority and inferiority in Dongdi Kingdom. He just knelt down where he was and let the emperor beat him. If he could make the emperor vent his anger, he would
This old body and bones are nothing.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
All the ministers knelt down. They also knew not to go too far. If the emperor beat Nobusuke Kishi to death in the court hall, then if word spread tomorrow, the court of Dongji Kingdom would be even more undignified.
Even the common people won't respect them. There may be a time when the dynasty changes. If that time comes, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse.
"You all stay here today. If you can't think of a way, no one will be able to walk out of this door..."
