"Sustain it for five days... The question is whether we can sustain it for five days." Looking at the telegram in his hand, King Wright VII of the Wright Kingdom muttered with an ugly expression.
He has mobilized almost all the troops in the royal city. Two legions are already on their way to reinforce the border, and he will leave the royal city immediately and go to the real front line.
At this time, he was more worried about the weak royal city. Only the last legion was guarding here, and the remaining troops were far away from here.
"Your Majesty, although there is only one legion left, it is the most elite unit and has the best equipment, so there is no need to worry too much." The old prime minister persuaded.
The troops on the border must be rescued, and the defense of the royal city cannot be relaxed easily. This is the foundation of the Wright Kingdom, and it is also the true headquarters of Wright VII.
If there is any place where he has some confidence, it is this King of Leyte City. As the king, he has been operating here for so many years, and he still has some strength.
However, he still looked at the old prime minister with great worry: "You know what I'm worried about."
As his foundation in King Leite City, the most powerful one is naturally himself, but in recent years, there is another force that cannot be underestimated here.
This force is the Datang Group. If Cyric was able to compete with the king in the royal city back then, the current Datang Group also has the same strength.
On the surface, Datang Group has countless supporters, and they all have interests bound to Datang Group. Naturally, they will waver at critical moments and side with Datang Group.
Secretly, the entertainment department under the Datang Group, coupled with the power of Silver Fox Company, is also quite fearful - the other party is well-organized and possesses a large amount of arms.
If these forces make trouble after he leaves the royal city, plus the power accumulated by Datang Group in other places, as long as Tang Mo raises his arms, then Wright VII can almost announce his abdication.
This is a typical example of making wedding clothes for others, so King Wright has been hesitant and has not made up his mind to leave his royal city until now.
The old prime minister knew that His Majesty the King was most worried about the safety of his own royal city, so he said: "Your Majesty, things are much simpler than we thought. Your worries are completely unnecessary. Tang Mo will not take the opportunity to attack the royal city.
Although he is greedy for money and lustful, he still has a bottom line in doing things. If he is really greedy for a country or wants to expand his territory, he will obviously have better opportunities."
"Oh?" King Wright VII obviously didn't want to put his own safety on the vague statement that a person has a bottom line in doing things.
The old prime minister then explained: "Whether he was blocking the Yangmu Kingdom or helping Beiling defeat Susas before, he had the ability to develop his own power and seize more land at that time."
Indeed, Tang Mo has too many opportunities to expand his territory. If he is willing, he can even directly ask for a piece of land.
No one will refuse his request, especially when Datang Group is willing to pay the price, everyone is willing to do something.
The old prime minister continued: "But he didn't. He would rather develop Dragon Island than invade a country. Therefore, the old minister believes that he is not willing to expand."
"You continue." King Wright VII also felt that the old prime minister's analysis seemed to be correct, so he ordered.
After hearing the king's instructions, the old prime minister immediately continued: "Actually, I think he prefers construction! He prefers to build a new city than occupying some fertile land. Bunas is the best proof
.Bunas was just a small town before, but he just developed it into the size it is today.”
He didn't say this because he took advantage of Tang Mo. After all, he was still an official with very professional ethics.
In fact, he is very loyal and has always done things for the kingdom, or His Majesty the King. It is the same this time, every word he says is his true thoughts.
He really didn't think that Tang Mo would take the opportunity to do something crazy, because it was a completely thankless and stupid choice.
Based on his understanding of Tang Mo, Tang Mo would not choose this moment to expand the internal conflicts in the Wright Kingdom and let outsiders take advantage.
If Tang Mo really wanted the Leyte Kingdom, he would not let his fleet go south at all, nor would he keep the security forces at a relatively low level.
As long as he develops his troops normally and waits for changes like today, he can better swallow the Kingdom of Wright.
On the other hand, it was obviously not a good idea for Tang Mo to take the initiative to attack the Lalet Kingdom on his own when surrounded by foreign enemies.
Therefore, the old prime minister was not worried at all that Tang Mo would make a sneak attack on the royal city, so he continued to comfort his king: "To be frank, if we also gathered a population of nearly one million in the royal city, not only would the epidemic be
Any other problem will cause the royal city to collapse."
"You mean, Bunas, it is better than the royal city now?" The king was a little angry and asked dissatisfiedly.
In fact, he himself also knows that there is basically no better place in the world than Bunas.
The development of Bunas is obvious to all. The development speed there has surpassed that of King Leyte City a long time ago.
In fact, because of the railway, the size of Wolf City in Beiling has begun to surpass that of the Royal City.
This made him, the king, very anxious, but there was no good solution, so he could only sulk on his own.
Although the old prime minister knew that his Majesty the King was jealous, he still told the truth: "Although I don't want to admit it, Your Majesty, Bunas is indeed richer and larger than the royal city now. Isn't it?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What you said...makes sense." The king finally recognized the old prime minister's statement and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the king had been moved by his persuasion, the old prime minister continued to speak and expressed his idea: "Even if he is willing to build a better city, we can exchange the royal city with him!"
The king was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other party and asked with some confusion: "What do you mean?"
This was one of his most confidant men, so he did not get angry, but hoped that the other party would give him a reasonable explanation. If it had been anyone else, he would have been angry long ago and began to doubt the other party's loyalty.
But the person speaking was the prime minister, the prime minister who had been following him, supporting him, and being loyal since the days when the Cyric Consortium dominated the kingdom! So he knew that what the other person said was definitely not nonsense.
Sure enough, the old prime minister explained: "The Royal City is still too close to Bunas. When Bunas continues to develop and grow, the Royal City will be like the current small towns around Bunas. Bunas will absorb all the nutrients and eventually wither."
This old man who has been planning for the kingdom and hopes that the kingdom can continue to develop expressed his thoughts: "Instead of thinking about it at that time, why not give the royal city to Tang Mo now as a favor! And in return, we can
Find a city farther east, move the capital there, and get what we deserve from Bunas."
After hearing this suggestion, His Majesty the King also began to seriously consider this issue. He often takes a look at the development record of the Royal City, and the development speed of the Royal City has indeed slowed down recently.
According to the data from ten years ago, many factories and workshops have been built around the royal city in recent years. According to common sense, the population should actually increase significantly.
But in fact, because a large number of people immigrated to Bunas and Long Island, the population growth of the Royal City in the past two years was almost zero...
It would definitely be wrong to say that such data has not been affected by Bunas and Dragon City of Datang Group at all.
Obviously, the expansion of Bunas and its demand for population have indeed brought the development of the royal city to a state of stagnation.
At the moment, the suggestion put forward by the prime minister can indeed solve this problem. As long as it is far enough away from Bunas, it is impossible for Bunas to affect the development speed of the royal city.
The king hesitated, and the old prime minister knew that his persuasion was effective, so he continued to suggest: "For example, let Tang Mo promise to build the new royal city into another Bunas, with a large scale and a large population...and...
We have many high-tech workshops... and we can also distance ourselves from Datang Group in the new land and control our own development direction."
Hearing what the old prime minister said, His Majesty the King was really moved, and asked with some expectation: "Do you think he will give it to you?"
"I think he will consider it! And as long as he considers it, he will no longer think that taking the initiative to capture the royal city is a good deal." The old prime minister said to King Wright VII with a smile.
This is his real purpose. The purpose is to let Tang Mo know that the royal city actually has a price, so he doesn't need to worry!
And if Tang Mo accepts this price, then he will definitely not risk the collapse of the Wright Kingdom and plot the Wright Kingdom at this time.
"You...what you said makes sense." King Wright VII became really happy and said to the old prime minister: "After I leave, this place will be left to you, Prime Minister."
The prime minister bowed slightly and promised: "I am willing to guard the royal city for your majesty and will not give this place to anyone."
"I believe you!" Wright VII stretched out his hand to support the prime minister and said, "Find someone to go to Bunas and have a good talk with Mr. Tang... about the price of the royal city! As long as the price he gives is reasonable, moving the capital will be easy.
What does it matter!"
Anyway, his kingdom will definitely continue to expand eastward. It is better to move the royal city to the center of the kingdom than to be next to Bunas, right?
"Yes!" the prime minister leaned down again and agreed.
