"Ding ding, ding, ding..." The phone rang again, and the Foreign Minister of the Reese Empire depressedly grabbed the receiver of the phone again, and feebly asked the simple word: "Hello?"
"Hello! I am Paul, the Dornish Empire's ambassador to the Lions Empire..." On the other end of the phone, the man's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
"I am Somi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Reince Empire. If you have any questions, please just tell me, Ambassador Paul." Marquis Somi said depressedly.
"On behalf of the Dorne Empire, I strongly protest against your country's reckless intelligence collection activities. This is not in the interest of all parties. Your country's actions have also caused unacceptable losses to the Dorne Empire." On the other side of the phone, Ambassador Paul said
Almost cursed.
This time, the Tang State carried out a series of follow-up actions in response to the espionage behavior of the Lions Empire. This included moving the flight instruction training originally carried out on Dragon Island to Lucheng in the Chu State.
Although the natural environment there is beautiful, how can the level of modernization be compared with that of Weigang in the Tang Dynasty?
Students from all countries have paid money, so who doesn’t want to study in a convenient and modern metropolis? But the current situation is that Tang State has directly moved the training base to a shabby place like Chu State.
You know, all the good places in Chu State have been occupied by Tang State, and in the remaining places, the good places developed by Tang State have not been included in the relocation option.
In other words, in order to ensure safety, Chu's oil facilities and pipeline ports were all excluded.
As a result, the last place chosen was a small city in the southern part of Chu State. Apart from a future pilot school, there was nothing there...
What's even more annoying is that Tang's response was reasonable. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tang put all the responsibilities on the Enns Empire, and then started the relocation plan of the aviation school as a matter of course.
There was even only one airport built in the sloping area of Lucheng. Even the most basic dormitories were not prepared before the trial operation started.
All the students at Longdao Aviation School here were directly guarded by the armed forces, stuffed into transport ships, and escorted by destroyers, headed to the port of Chu.
The Chu State was very cooperative, and the King of Chu was even very happy: Tang State moved such important facilities to my place. It seems that I am really full of outstanding people, and my throne is also made of iron.
"We are still investigating this matter. The intelligence department of the Lains Empire has not issued any orders to disrupt order. We still have to wait for the final result..." In desperation, Marquis Somi again reported the situation to the people he had just dealt with.
The Ambassador of the Susas Empire said it once and said it again to Ambassador Paul.
He had begun to become irritated, because in the past few hours, countless envoys from various countries had called in person to inquire and complain about this matter.
】
"As the ambassador representing the Dorne Empire to the Reins Empire, I must remind you, Marquis Somi... If your country's espionage provokes a war, all consequences will be borne by your country alone." On the other side of the phone, Paul.
The ambassador spoke again.
Aren't you already preparing to add insult to injury? Damn it, if you are still talking about this scene now, you are probably already massing tanks on the border, right? Marquis Somi cursed in his heart, but he quickly continued to explain: "We are cooperating with the Tang State.
All investigations can only be made after the results are obtained... I have understood your country's reminder and hope that the situation will not develop in an uncontrollable direction."
He could only say these superficial words, and then emphasized that the Lens Empire and the Tang Empire were still communicating, and a war might not be possible.
This is a kind reminder, the purpose is to make the other party feel wary: in the end, you are ready to add insult to injury, but find that no one has fallen into the well.
Paul also heard what Marquis Somi meant, so he immediately said: "Okay! We will wait patiently, hoping that your country can investigate clearly with Tang State and come up with a reasonable explanation for this incident.
Our country reserves the right to pursue compensation, and I hope that the Marquis of Somi can understand."
"I understand." Marquis Somi didn't even bother to say goodbye and directly pressed the receiver on the phone. His face was gloomy, but he had no energy to vent.
In the past few hours, the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been extremely busy. The trouble caused by the intelligence department has plunged the Lions Empire into an unprecedented crisis.
Before, King Laines I had not realized that the world's structure had fundamentally changed. Now, he and the top leaders of the Laines Empire had felt the tremendous pressure brought about by this change.
Since the failure of the last anti-Tang war, the finances of various countries have actually begun to show unhealthy signs. All countries are burdened with huge debts to the Tang Empire, and their export trade has always been in a state of trade deficit.
The fragile economic operation relies on the Tang State unilaterally driving up prices in various countries. In other words, the Tang State is deliberately feeding back the economies of various countries in order to maintain a state that allows the Tang State to continue to make money.
If the Tang State wanted to destroy a certain country's economy, all it had to do was lower the prices of materials exported to that country, and the country's economy would directly collapse and be destroyed.
Everyone has to rely on the face of Tang State to act, and they have to succumb to Tang State's coercion again and again for the sake of technology, and they are even more afraid of Tang State's terrifying military strength. This is the current situation of the empires around the Endless Sea.
In fact, it is not that there is no second solution to get rid of this problem, it is just that no one has thought of it before.
This time, the crisis in the Laens Empire allowed people to see the second plan and the dawn of a way out of the predicament.
The second solution is to dismember and destroy an empire, and share it with everyone, using the flesh and blood of the deceased to feed the stomachs of everyone else.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since we can't defeat the Tang State and owe a huge sum of money to the Tang State, then... find a soft persimmon and crush it to death, which will at least allow everyone to linger for another ten years.
Eight years...
After everyone figured this out, the eyes of the Lions Empire, which had just caused the Dragon Island incident, looked a little different.
The Lains Empire is good. Because of the existence of Bunas, the economic conditions are relatively good. It is also close to the two empires of Susus and Dorne. Those who want land will get land, and those who want gold coins will get gold coins. Everyone takes what they can.
Need...isn't it good?
Therefore, the first ones to show a tough attitude on this matter were Dorne, the southern neighbor of the Lions Empire, and Susas, the northern neighbor.
Of course, there are also the Poplar Empire and the Goblin Kingdom waiting to share the spoils - without the support of these two countries, it would be impossible for Dorne and the Sussus Empire to show such a tough stance.
In other words, the Poplar Empire and the Goblin Kingdom must ensure that they will strictly maintain neutrality, so that the Sussus Empire and the Dorne Empire will have no worries and gather their forces in the direction of the Lions Empire.
Considering that he might have to face a pincer attack from three empires, including the Tang Empire, which now has the largest military power in the world, Lions I naturally knew that he had no chance of winning.
His only chance now is to avoid war! Once the war really breaks out, his navy will be completely annihilated by the Tang navy, Bunas may be occupied by the Tang army, and Susas and Dorne will attack from both sides.
The Sri Lankan Empire will become history.
"Such a thing must be prevented from happening!" King Laines I looked at the prime minister and a group of ministers in front of him and emphasized with an unhappy expression.
The news coming from the foreign affairs department was getting worse than the last. On the border, the armies of the two neighboring countries, the north and the south, were also frequently mobilized. The Lions Empire suddenly changed from the backbone of the anti-Tang Dynasty to a lonely one.
"We are trying our best to deny that the Dragon Island incident has anything to do with us! For this reason, we are willing to compensate Tang Guo with 3 million gold coins... The negotiations are still in progress, and Tang Guo does not seem to be adding insult to injury." The prime minister spoke to comfort the already confused Laines.
The way of the world.
In fact, Tang State's current attitude is very subtle, and this subtlety is reflected in the negotiation process: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty neither directly interrupted the negotiations nor showed a very friendly side.
This aloof state initially made the diplomats of the Lions Empire a bit at a loss.
But later, after thinking about it over and over, everyone figured out the key: in fact, the Tang State did not urgently want the Laens Empire to fall.
It is true that sending troops to destroy the Reins Empire may gain a lot of benefits, and even bring back the once glorious Port of Bunas.
However, the negative effects of the destruction of the Lions Empire were also something that the Tang Kingdom did not want to see: most countries would be allocated the legacy of the Lions Empire, and then each country would have a large amount of funds to eliminate the negative impact of the trade deficit with the Tang Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the Tang Empire would lose its ability to continue to constrain these empires economically, allowing these empires to get rid of the influence of the Tang Empire to a certain extent.
The pros and cons of this need to be carefully weighed, and it does not mean that personally launching a war against the Lions Empire will definitely be beneficial to the Tang Empire.
Apart from anything else, crossing the ocean and trying to land near Bunas Port is not a very sure thing for the current Tang State.
"Our concessions can be larger, but Tang Guo's appetite is obviously more than that. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is trying to find new points of interest to use as bargaining chips. We still need more time." The prime minister glanced at the place where he stood nervously.
The head of the Intelligence Department, Count Vidal, was wiping his sweat.
"Vidal! Find some unimportant chess pieces and throw them out!" Reins I understood the prime minister's meaning: "Send a telegram in my name to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, saying that our country's intelligence department is willing to cooperate with Tang State Intelligence
The departments have launched long-term cooperation..."
