When the Poseidon fleet arrived in Estalia, Ryan had already received news about how the merchants of Marienburg boycotted the national debt of Bafengshan and how they secretly slandered his expedition. He also heard Schultz read it himself.
The Mannann Daily News learned about the article "Belega = Failure Expert?"
Lane just sneered at this. He knew very well that the business princes of Marienburg would definitely not be willing to allow Lane to successfully issue national debt. As Schultz said, what they wanted was to control Lane through large loans.
They lie on Ryan's body to suck blood, and at the same time use Ryan's force to provide them with protection. These cunning guys also know how to behave, and even Schultz can't do anything to them.
There was no way around it. Lane needed money, the Great Expedition needed money, he needed money to guide Mousilon's industrialization, he needed money to build the canal, he needed money to reclaim new land and help the army change its equipment. The Blood Dragon Ancestor gave him a
Ryan had already spent about two-thirds of this astonishing wealth, and the remaining third had already made Sulia feel a serious crisis. Ryan also knew that he must keep enough cash flow on hand.
Therefore, it is necessary to borrow money to fight the war.
So the question is, where will the loan money come from?
First of all, we cannot count on Emperor Karl-Franz and his court. The empire is always facing wars from all directions, and there are countless dangers hidden in the vast land. Furthermore, Lane has just signed the Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance with the empire.
The treaty actually already has provisions similar to borrowing money (payment of one hundred thousand gold crowns over ten years). It would be quite irrational to come to the empire to borrow money at this time. It is very likely that the originally equal and mutual assistance contract will gradually become an empire-led one.
alliance.
What about dwarves?
Obviously, the dwarves can't count on it. The reason why the dwarves can't count on it is not that it will make Ryan feel inferior to the dwarves, because the dwarves originally called humans "people who make inferior products", but because Belegar has already destroyed the entire old world.
Almost all the dwarves in the world, except for the dwarves of Dulong City, have borrowed it! What they borrowed before has not been repaid, how can other dwarf kingdoms borrow it again? Everyone knows that Bafeng Mountain is a trap.
If it weren't for the fact that Bafeng Mountain was too close to Iron Peak Castle, the Iron Peak Castle dwarves wouldn't have been able to send troops to help Belega repeatedly.
In the southern country, Gao Jing didn't even bother to ask. In the end, Ryan was given almost two options. One was to borrow a large amount from the business princes of Marienburg, and the second was to issue national bonds.
Schultz reminded many people that the business princes who planned to lend large amounts to Ryan did not want interest at all, but wanted to control him and suck his blood. Once the money was borrowed, the human factor turned into the debt.
Basically, I can't get rid of it.
Therefore, Lane finally chose to issue government bonds. As expected, failure experts came out.
I don't know how Belega will feel after hearing the news.
The Principality of Magritte in Estalia has been introduced before, so I won’t repeat it here. However, when Ryan took Veronica, Olica and others to land on Magritte’s land, everyone
It’s quite emotional. It’s been a few years since Ryan last came to Magritte. At that time, he came to track down the stolen Poseidon Trident and Lilith’s Sunfire Amulet. As a result, the Sunfire Amulet turned out to be Galt.
In order to search for the Haijin Talisman, Ryan and others made a futile trip.
Now the question returned to how to find the Sunfire Talisman, and Ryan thought to himself that things in the world are really a trick of fate.
Magritte was fully prepared for the arrival of the Poseidon fleet. More than twenty warships were all concentrated at the port. The guards of the main temple of Mirmedia, the goddess of war, came out to welcome Ryan and others, as well as Juan Carlos Guan.
Japanese.
Juan has followed Ryan in many battles in the past few years. He was active in the Mousilon Conquest, and frequently performed well in the subsequent security wars in Mousilon. He even managed to persuade the wood elves to join the war. Now in the old world
He is somewhat famous, and his father Rubio Sungazer and his eldest brother Felipe Sungazer both came to the dock to welcome Juan back.
Juan could clearly feel that his eldest brother Felipe was much friendlier towards him. He greeted him with greetings, gave him gifts, and sent someone to arrange for him to stay at the State Guesthouse. The young Baron Biocari felt in his heart
He understood that after he left, no one would compete with Felipe for the position of Duke's heir, so his brother's attitude was naturally much friendlier, and letting him stay at the State Guesthouse implied that he was already a guest.
Well, anyway, after he had truly seen the greatness of His Majesty Ryan and the power of the Brittanian Knights, Juan was no longer interested in things here, and the relationship between the brothers was actually harmonious.
"Phew, we are back after so many years!" Veronica stepped onto Magritte's land with a somewhat unsteady step. The Witch of Gloria's face was filled with a moisturized blush, and even her skin was moist.
Moisturized, she took Ryan's arm and looked at Magritte's glorious city in the distance: "My dear, why didn't you let your good friend come this time?"
Orica was in exactly the same state as Veronica, with a thick blush on her face. The voyage that lasted for more than a week was actually quite boring. There wasn't much to do. The dark elf was naturally in the room with the Witch of Gloriosa.
Inside, he lived a happy life with Ryan.
"Haha~" Ryan smiled playfully and didn't answer. Alfred didn't come this time. He was really busy with the construction and missionary work of Freya's ancient church district. By the way, Afu told Ryan
, when Ryan comes back from the expedition, he can prepare for the wedding with Ingrid. He hopes to get Ryan's blessing when the time comes, and Ryan naturally agrees.
Only the God of Justice knows how Alfred got rid of the female tyrannosaurus. Ryan silently complained in his heart that he didn't expect Alfred to like a woman like that, so tall and muscular.
Since this time he only stayed for a day or two to supply the army and it was an informal state visit, Ryan had nothing to say to Duke Rubio. He just had dinner with Duke Rubio and then made an alliance with Estalia merchants.
President Amancio met with him. Apparently, President Amancio also asked Ryan whether he needed a loan, but Ryan refused with a smile, but for the sake of
President Amancio helped Ryan several times, and managed to get the army of Erengrad Sea Soul Guards. Ryan promised Amancio that if he needed to sell the stolen goods, the price given by the other party was fair, and he could divide a small group of them.
Part of it was handed over to him. In addition, Amancio seemed to have reached close cooperation with Fulgrim's Ash Legion, and the Ash Legion established an office and recruitment point here.
That night, Ryan and others stayed at the Magritte State Guesthouse again. After a few years, Ryan also met the waitress named Claudia again. She was now the lobby manager, but she was still alone.
Compared to when she was at the peak of her appearance a few years ago, although Claudia's facial features are still hot at this time, her figure is slightly out of shape, and some parts of her face cannot bear to be scrutinized.
By the way, because Ryan's eyes stayed too long, the flesh on his waist was twisted 180 degrees and 270 degrees by Veronica and Orika respectively, which caused no sound in pain.
Claudia wanted to come up and talk to Ryan, but Veronica stopped her without giving her any chance.
After completing the formalities, the knights and nobles all moved in smoothly.
"Hahaha, my Majesty, Your Excellency Alfred is not here this time!" Fedmund obviously also remembered the past. The Holy Grail Knight and Duke Bodrick's legitimate son smiled happily: "Claude
Miss Dia is still here waiting for him!"
"What are you waiting for? Will you be chopped into two pieces by that female Norscan with an axe?" Ryan complained: "Would that female tyrannosaurus allow Alfred to have female courtiers? It is said that Alfred can only be with her.
My men will hold on for twenty or thirty rounds."
"Hahahaha!" Fedmund kept laughing, and the Holy Grail Knight nodded repeatedly: "I still remember what you told me back then. My lord, you are really a wise man."
"What a wise man, I just saw that you were confused at the time and I just gave you some advice." Ryan smiled and shook his head: "Where is Belega? Fedmund, I just saw him with you."
"King Belegar was very anxious. He kept muttering something like 'Book of Hatred', 'Marinburg Chop Suey', 'Failure Expert' and the like, and went upstairs." Fedmund said, and he pointed.
Staircase: "It should be that staircase."
"Olica, you take Veronica back to the room first, and I'll go see Belega." Ryan ordered, and Veronica and Orika naturally agreed. The Gloria Witch's legs have been really weak recently.
Return to the room with the help of the dark elf.
…………I am the dividing line back to the room…………
When Ryan found Belegar in the writing room on the second floor of the State Guesthouse, the King of Eight Peaks was lying on the table with an angry face, writing something with a quill. There was a small bowl of dwarf ink on the table.
Belegar buried his head in a big book of hatred made of gold, and was reading something. Next to the table, there was the front page headline of "Mananen Daily" copied by the attendant, "Belrega =
The article "Experts of Failure?"
The Angrond-sworn bodyguard at the door should have stopped anyone who tried to disturb Belegar, but Lion was obviously not among the unwelcome guests, and the King of Britannia entered the room smoothly.
Belegar was so focused that he didn't even notice Ryan coming in. The King of the Eight Peaks was busy writing.
“Hate about failed experts!”
"Granny, a group of ignorant humans dare to ridicule the glorious Angrond clan and the real king of the Eight Peaks as an expert in failure! Damn it, the dwarves will never tolerate this hatred, and the Angrond clan will definitely
Cut those business princes from Marienburg and that guy called Magic Bird into several pieces, and wash away this hatred with blood!"
After finishing writing, Belega turned his attention to the newspaper next to him. The King of the Eight Peaks Mountain became more and more angry as he thought about it. He grabbed the pen and smashed it on the book of hatred: "Ahhh! I'm so angry!"
"Brother Belegar, are you recording hatred?" Ryan approached with a smile, bent down, and peeked at the dwarf's small notebook.
"Oh, it's Brother Lane, that's right! Those damn Marienburgers are so hateful!" Belega waved his fist angrily: "Aren't you angry? Brother Lane?"
"Of course I'm angry." Ryan was still smiling: "Brother Belega, I have a few suggestions that will make you angry when the time comes. Do you want to listen?"
