Maier sat opposite Salin and Tengyuan, his face solemn.

After the Battle of Chishui River, Meier's status in the hearts of the Tairong people was greatly improved, and Tengyuan was even left far behind. The Kingdom of Byron struck while the iron was hot, and sent people to the Kingdom of Tairong to publicize its good policies, hoping that the people of Tairong would accept the new form of government and completely submit to the Byrons family.

The situation in the Taeyong Kingdom was more complicated than they expected, but the publicity effect was much better than expected. The vast majority of Tairong people do not want Mel to form a cabinet in the Tairong Kingdom, but hope to directly merge the Tairong Kingdom into the Byronic Kingdom and directly enjoy the excellent policies of the Byron Kingdom.

The situation in the Taeyong Kingdom is complicated, mainly because of the contradictions and disagreements between the regions, which are left over from the Taeyong aristocratic era. Since the local rebels in the occupied area have been wiped out, the policies of the Kingdom of Byron will only benefit the locals, so it is natural that they will not reject a new form of government that will bring new policies. For the commoners of Tairong, who are accustomed to the division of princes and the conquest of each other, it does not matter which country is on their heads, as long as the ruler is diligent and loves the people, and can bring them benefits, they will support him.

They feel that the Kingdom of Byron is the foundation of Mer, and the Kingdom of Tairong is only a unified country, even if Mel is very good to the people of Tairong, he will still favor the Kingdom of Byron in terms of policy. If the entire Tairong Kingdom is incorporated into the Byronic Kingdom, then the Tairong people will become the first major race in the Byronic Kingdom and will dominate. For the sake of national stability, Maier will definitely favor the Taeyong people. When the time comes, the Taerong people will get more benefits, so why not?

It is not so much that the Kingdom of Tairong wants to be merged into the Kingdom of Byrons, but that the Kingdom of Tairong wants to annex the Kingdom of Byron and then change the name to the other party's. When the idea of the Tayjong people was transmitted back to the country, it was strongly opposed by the natives, especially the non-Tayrong race. At the same time, the incident also made the Tayrong people in their country very embarrassed in their position. Supporting one's own people will offend one's own people, supporting one's own people will offend one's own people, and maintaining neutrality may also be reprimanded by both sides for inaction.

In desperation, the Tairong people of the Kingdom of Byron elected representatives to come to the city of Byron to petition, hoping that His Majesty the King could solve the problem as soon as possible. The Qingshi Palace sent a petition from the representative of the Tairong people of its country to Yaolin City, and informed Maier of the situation in the country, and then Maier called Salin and Tengyuan for a meeting.

Merging the kingdoms of Tajon and Byron has both advantages and disadvantages. The downside has already been discussed, after the merger, the Tayyong people will dominate and cause discontent among the other races.

The inhabitants of the city of Byron are the proudest of the kingdoms, as the city was founded by Mel himself. The people of the Kingdom of Byron had a similar sense of pride, because the country was built by Mel himself. The former sees himself as the core of the Byronic kingdom, and the latter sees himself as the core of the Byronsian sphere of influence.

After the merger of the two countries, the center of gravity of the Byronic Kingdom was bound to shift to the direction of the Tairong Kingdom. Because the Taeyong Kingdom has a larger population and a larger territory, after quelling the local rebels, in addition to the extremely developed Chunshan City and Yaolin City, there are still fifteen cities with a population of more than 500,000. The city with a population of more than 500,000 in the Kingdom of Byron has only Hope City, but in terms of development, it is only barely on par with Shangjin City.

If the Taeyong Kingdom unifies the entire Taejong race, the number of cities with a population of more than 500,000 will increase to twenty-seven, with a population of 110 million. At that time, even if the Republic of Bujin were to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Byrons, the Ilibians, who were the second most populous in the total population, would be considered a minority, and even more so would be the case with other races.

In the King's temporary office in Yaolin City, Mel calmly looked at Salin and Tengyuan. The three men had been sitting in the office for almost half an hour, and had remained silent except for a few minutes when Maier had given the situation. Salin and Tengyuan's eyes were always on each other, and Mel could clearly sense the vigilance and dissatisfaction in their gazes.

The Ilibians were the first race to follow the House of Byrons. At that time, the Ilibians were weak, the civil war caused them huge losses, and the corruption and incompetence of the rulers put a heavy burden on the citizens. Just as the Ilibians were about to collapse under the twin torments of civil war and stress, Gray appeared.

He was like a light that could dispel darkness and cold, bringing light and warmth to the people of Ilibi. As soon as his theories appeared, they spread throughout the countries of Ilibi in a very short time. When the Great Reformation broke out, the Ilibians overthrew the royal system and established a republic, leaving behind the hatred between ethnic groups and uniting to become the most powerful race in the new world.

When the Ilibi became stronger, they did not forget their "father of the nation". They are willing to accept Gray's dispatch and protect Gray's son. The people of Ilibi gave willingly, partly to repay their kindness and to establish an Ilibi kingdom under Gray's rule. For in the eyes of the Ilibians, there was no one to rule over this powerful nation except Gray.

After Mel's appearance, their goal changed slightly, replacing the ruler of the kingdom of Ilibi with the House of Byrons. Gray was first king, then Mel, then Mair's son, and the throne would be passed on until the ages. The Ilibians were convinced that they would unify the entire new world under the leadership of the Byrons family and become the leaders of the world.

The Ilibians obeyed the Byrons without telling them a thing. That is, they are ready to change the monarchy after the integration of the country and invite Gray to be the king. The heads of state secretly held many meetings, and after making sure that this initiative would not cause problems for the Byrens family, they finalized the matter behind the Byrens' back.

Although the Kingdom of Ilibi and the Kingdom of Byron are in the same dynasty, and after Gray's abdication, the Kingdom of Ibbi will inevitably be unified by the Kingdom of Byrons, but this is not a problem for the Illizians. The reason why the Republic of Bujin gave up joining the integrated Ilibi country and chose to join the Kingdom of Byron was not only because of geographical factors, but also because of the fundamental purpose of turning the Ilibians into the first race of the Kingdom of Byrons.

At that time, the kingdom of Byron will also change from a multi-ethnic country to an Ilibian dominated country. When Gray abdicated and Maier ascended the throne, the so-called unification was just a formality. Both countries are dominated by Ilibi, and everyone is their own people, so even if they merge with the trend, it is not a big deal.

Since the Ilibians had always been obedient, the Byrons had never thought that they would calculate themselves, so they had not found out about it until now. The people of Ilibi have made a lot of calculations, but they have missed two things. For one, the Tajon elves have a larger population base than Elibi, and they are willing to accept Myr's rule. Second, Mel suddenly took control of the Kingdom of Tairong, and let the Kingdom of Tairong willingly be incorporated into the Kingdom of Byrons.

At this time, the Ilibians had not yet discovered the first thing they had missed, but the second thing that had been missed was already a headache for them. If the Tairongs become the dominant race of the Byronic Kingdom, after Gray's abdication, the Byronic Kingdom dominated by the Taijon people will unite with the Ilibi Kingdom dominated by the Ilibians, and then things will become very troublesome.

Obviously, we came first, why did the Tairong people intervene!

The Ilibians will not let the Taiyongs sabotage their plans. Ten days earlier, Salin had received a secret letter from the leaders of the Ilibi people who had given him an important task, which was to prevent the annexation of the Kingdom of Taijon to the Kingdom of Byron at all costs.

On the other side, Tengyuan, who is dedicated to the sake of the Tairong people, wants to promote this matter. The two of them only exchanged a few words on the way to the king's temporary office here, and they easily sensed each other's intentions. After that, they became what they are now.

The two didn't say a word after entering the house, but they had already fought each other countless times in their hearts. Mel looked at the two of them without saying a word, muttering in his heart.

Are they aware of my intentions?

In fact, after reading the letter sent by the Bluestone Palace, Maier had already thought of a solution. In the final analysis, the various races in the country are afraid that the Tairong people will be dominant, as long as they find a race that can compete with the Tairong Kingdom in terms of population, won't the problem be solved?

In terms of population, there is no race in this new world that can be the right of the Tairong elves. Maier's status among the Tayrong Elves is extremely high, and as long as he can convince a few Tajon elf colonies to accept his rule and balance the Tayjung in terms of population and racial development, the other races will not have such worries.

However, it is still a few years away from the integration of the country by the Ilibis. If Maier reveals his relationship with the Taeyong Elves in advance, it is likely to cause panic on an international scale, causing the other forces of the New World to form a siege network. The Ilibi who were integrating the country were still weak, and they were bound to pay great losses in the war, an outcome that Maier did not want.

Since you can't use the Taeyong goblin, you can only settle for the next best thing and talk to the Ilibians about it. The comprehensive development of the countries of Ilibi is higher than that of the Kingdom of Taiyong, and the total population is also larger than that of the people of Tairong. The ideology of the Ilibi kingdoms is very similar to that of the Kingdom of Byrons, and even if they occupy the position of the largest race, as long as there is a relatively weak balance between the Tairong people, the other races will not have much opinion.

If the Ilibians were willing to accept Mer's rule, there would be two "poles" in the kingdom of Byrons. The Ilibi people are one pole, and the Taiyong people are one pole. Although the Eribi are stronger than the Taiyongs, there is no huge difference in strength between the two. In order not to favor either of the two poles, Mel still wanted to place the core of his rule in the original territory of the Kingdom of Byrons. In this way, the Ilibians, the Taiyongs, and the natives will be satisfied - and then a superpower will emerge in the New World.

Since the existence of the Kingdom of Byron has threatened the security of all the forces in the New World, they will still form a siege network, and war is still inevitable. Maier felt that instead of doing this, it was better to directly pull the Tairong goblins in, turn the Kingdom of Byron into a "three-pole" country, and directly scare the other forces half to death.

Meier was not an idealist, and he didn't think everything would go the way he wanted it to. In his opinion, there is no reason for the Ilibi to accept his rule, and it is possible that the Taeyong elves will not accept his rule, and it will take a lot of effort to achieve these two goals.

Of course, Maier is only thinking about it, and does not intend to put it into action. After rejecting these two schemes, he came up with a more secure one.

As mentioned earlier, if the Taeyong Kingdom unifies its ethnic territory, the country will have a population of 110 million, with twenty-seven cities with a population of more than 500,000. Even if the Taerong Kingdom maintained its territory before the invasion of the aristocratic army, the country had a population of 60 million, and 17 cities with a population of more than 500,000, making it the most populous and largest independent country in the New World at this stage.

When Mair first united with the Tajon Kingdom, everyone knew that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the Tajon Kingdom. Tengyuan, who manages the Tairong Kingdom for Timmer, cannot control this kingdom, the local forces still control half of the country, and the army of the Tairong Kingdom must sit in the country, and there are not many troops that can be transferred to support the Byron Kingdom, and the strength of the Byron Kingdom has increased by two times at most, which is not to be feared in the eyes of many large countries.

But now, things are different. If Maier unifies the Taiyong race and makes other forces feel threatened, they will definitely form an encirclement network, try their best to cause trouble for Mehr, and even start an encirclement war. What Meir has to do now is to avoid such an all-out war, so he must not alarm the other forces.

So now he can't take advantage of the situation to unify the Taeyong race, and he can't even regain the lost territory as soon as possible. But doing so would definitely dampen the enthusiasm of the Tayyong people to support him, which he did not want to see. So he had to find a way to stall and divert the public's attention.

So how to stall for time and divert the public's attention?

The solution is very simple, just make more big news. Meier came to Salin and Tengyuan this time, not to discuss big things with them, but to let them play a rival show, create some inconsequential, but eye-catching small contradictions, so as to divert the public's attention.

Let the two elders do this kind of thing, as a junior, Maier is very unhappy. In addition, Salin and Tengyuan looked weird, and they looked like they were aware of danger, so Maier was not embarrassed to speak.
