Chapter 217 A Dangerous Game (Part II)

After the royal meeting, Kate lost all the excitement, but she couldn't back down. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In this cruel game, only the one who persists to the end is the winner, and the winner will enjoy the entire empire! Thinking of this, Empress Kate regained her spirits and entered another palace, where the Grand Duke of Fitley of the Barnard system, the Grand Duke of Ilambal of the Woolf system, the Grand Duke of Wangbadu of the Bolland system, the Emperor of Sirius Magasol, and the Prince of Canis Major were waiting for her.

The day after the anniversary was successfully concluded, the Imperial Council presented a document to the Cabinet of Ministers explaining the severe deficit in the national treasury and the huge debt owed by the empire after the anniversary. In this document, the Yellow River family, which had been holding the crown of the empire's largest creditor, lost to the merchant B from the Alpha Centauri system by a narrow disadvantage, and retreated to second place. Few people know anything about this B, but everyone knows that he seems to be close to the guy named Tom Cologne.

Therefore, in the days following the end of the anniversary, the Imperial Council held long and back and forth consultations on the issue of huge debts, but no agreement was reached. In desperation, Empress Kate had to propose to reopen the "Silk Road", a space channel closed by Robert the Great, and transfer the mining rights of californium resources in the Oort cloud to several surrounding galaxies. Chief Cabinet Minister Qin Xiangtian immediately rejected the decision from a strategic point of view. Lord Qin Xiangtian's suspicion was that the transfer of californium and even the most important energy source for the manufacture of neutron weapons was equivalent to selling the neutron bomb to others, which was undoubtedly handing over the knife in his hand to the enemy, and it was no different from committing suicide!

Empress Kate rubbed her temples, the guard pushed open the door of the palace, and she slowly sat down in her seat under the watchful eyes of several grand dukes.

Barnard System Fitley has been following the news about the arrest of Justin, the criminal who killed the emperor and his daughter, in the past two days, and received an anonymous email yesterday that said that Justin had been killed by a student named Lin Feng, and that the murderer was now in the Ministry of Defense, and a video was attached. When Barnard saw the email, his first expression was ecstasy, and the killer of his daughter had finally been caught. However, I then wondered why Empress Kate did not notify herself in the first place? Instead, she learned about it through this anonymous email! After careful consideration, Fitley guessed that it might be because of Justin's special identity that the Ministry of Defense had not yet had time to make it public, and it was estimated that it would not be possible to make it public. So this is only possible by anonymous mail. Phaedley looked at Queen Kate, who was sitting beside him, and cast a look full of gratitude.

Queen Kate took the initiative to ignore the hairy eyes of Fitley, and she did not see any gratitude in it, but a little more pleasuring. "Ladies and gentlemen," Queen Kate coughed, her severe headache making her reluctant to beat around the bush, and said straight to the point, "I think it is already clear that the purpose of my invitation to you is today. Everyone knows that the Emperor Robert the Great once discovered a passage in space, as far as the Canis Major Galaxy. Later, in order to block the galactic fleet of the federal government at the time, Robert the Great was forced to shut it down, and it has not been opened until now. ”

When Empress Kate said this, she paused for a moment, quickly swept over everyone's faces with different expressions, and then said: "This time is different from the past, the empire is no longer a weak baby, she has a strong body and great strength. Today's galaxy is no longer the turbulent galaxy, it needs more peace and prosperity! So, on the occasion of the Empire's Independence Day, I intend to reopen the space channel. This would reduce the trade distance from Sirius to the solar system by at least two-thirds by nearly nine light-years, and the benefits need not be mentioned. What do you think?"

"I, the Barnard Galaxy, fully support this initiative of the Red Sun Empire, and the opening of the space passage will open a new page, fundamentally curbing interstellar bandits, and greatly improving the many problems caused by long-distance trade between galaxies, I think it is very necessary!" said Fitley, looking at Queen Kate with a smile on his face.

"That being said," Grandduke Elanbal of the Woolf System coughed, interrupting the dancing Phaettlie, "You must know that the energy and resources consumed to open the space passage are not a small amount!"

"That's right," echoed Archduke Bolander, "especially for those of us who are farther away from the solar system, the farther away we are, the more energy and resources are consumed!"

Empress Kate did not answer or explain the questions raised by the two of them, but looked at the Emperor of Sirius, Magasul, because after all, as a galaxy at the other end of this spatial channel, Sirius's attitude played a decisive role. Moreover, to a large extent, it also represents the attitude of the Emperor of the Canis Major Galaxy!

Magasul stroked the thin beard on his chin, "If the benefits of opening a space passage far outweigh the energy consumed, this idea is still very good. "However, as far as we know, there are many flaws in the financial problems of the Red Sun Empire," and he deliberately used such a word, "I wonder if your country still has the ability to open space channels?"

Empress Kate had already prepared how to deal with Magasul's attack, and said with a smile: "Maybe you adults also know that the Red Sun Empire has four super planets, and the resources on them will not be a problem to mine for tens of thousands of years, so as for the empire's financial deficit you just mentioned, it is only temporary. What's more," Queen Kate paused again, "I'm ready to transfer the right to mine the californium element discovered by Oort Cloud!"

Hearing this, Magasul's eyebrows twitched upward. Everyone here understands what it means to transfer the right to mine californium, which is equivalent to taking the neutron bomb directly under their noses. Magasul suppressed the excitement in his heart and quietly glanced at the others, everyone's faces were more or less filled with joy that could not be suppressed at all. However, it is too early to rejoice, after all, the extremely harsh environment of Oort Cloud is not something that ordinary spaceships can enter and exit, and Emperor Magasol just received an anonymous email last night, Justin, the youngest son of Neptune Division Commander and Commander of the Third Military Region, Ethore, has been killed, and the murderer is being held in the Ministry of Defense. In connection with this incident, Magasol had to reconsider his dealings with the Red Sun Empire.

Empress Kate had already deduced from the wonderful expressions on the faces of the Grand Dukes how much benefit her move would bring to the Empire, but at this time she had no idea that some mysterious person had already released the news of Justin's killing. She cleared her throat, straightened her chest, and said with a smile: "Not only that, the empire will open a corridor in Oort Cloud, and then build a transportation space station, if necessary, we will be fully responsible for the mining and shipping of ore, you just wait outside and pull it away!"

Archduke Bolander glanced at Ilambal in the Woolf system with deep meaning, the two systems had been neighborly and friendly for hundreds of years under the constraints of that agreement, and such a major decision certainly required the common opinion of the two people. Ilambal seemed to have a hint of hesitation, after all, the Oort Cloud was the boundary of the Malmontis Space. If you don't want to go around the Death Ze, you must go through the Grande wormhole in the Alpha Centauri system, and everyone knows that almost all the robbers in the surrounding galaxy are concentrated in the Alpha Centauri system.

Probably other people also thought about this issue, so everyone's eyes were focused on B, who had not spoken all this time. With a smile similar to that of LaBelle on his face, he touched his bald head and smiled, "Of course I have no problem at all," he took a sip of his coffee that had already cooled, as if waiting for them to realize the crucial part of this spatial passage before speaking: " The only condition is, hehe, you all know, after all, once the passage is opened, the cargo volume will be amazing, in addition to the construction of a new large air port, the Grand wormhole will also be widened, and the most important thing is to enhance the protection work, which must be paid for by myself, so, hehe, this transit fee is ......" Speaking of this, B's shiny head seemed to flicker, "I have such a condition!"

Originally, according to Queen Kate's intentions, there was no need to invite this scoundrel at this meeting, but LaBelle strongly insisted that after all, he was the largest owner of the empire. If he benefits in this regard, there is still room for negotiation in the matter of deferring repayment in the future! Queen Kate still smiled at this bald head, and for a moment, she had some kind of hallucination, this B can't be LaBel's long-lost brother, these two people are working together to calculate me, right?

Queen Kate put this strange idea aside, looked at these people in front of her, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She stood up gently, smiled and said, "It seems that there are still many differences between us, and since this is the case, this matter will be put aside for the time being." Today, I have one more thing to announce!"
