In the depths of the imperial palace in the central area of the Emerald City, the capital of the Emerald Kingdom, in a certain side hall, the Emperor of the Emerald Country, Long Kun, and Wang Tianyu, Li Hongtao, and Xu Hao, the heads of the three major families of the Emerald Country, sat opposite each other.

"Everyone, Andy City has developed rapidly, in just four years, it has grown from a small city with a population of more than 100,000 to a large city with a population of one million, and has become the richest city in our Jade Country, I don't know what the three family heads think?" Long Kun, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat on a comfortable chair casually, looking at Wang Tianyu, Li Hongtao, and Xu Hao with a calm face.

The rapid development of Andy City has stimulated Long Kun's nerves, especially Andy City, which has expanded the city guard army from 5,000 to 50,000 people in just four years, which makes Long Kun very unhappy, and is full of vigilance for Andy City, you must know that even if it is the imperial capital of the Emerald Country, there are only 20,000 city guards, and Andy City, a big city that has just developed, actually has 50,000 city guards, isn't this provoking him, the emperor of the Emerald Country!

At the same time, all the 50,000 city guards in Andy City were equipped with weapons and equipment produced by the Zhao Clan's weapons shop, and the weapons and equipment on each soldier added up to thousands of taels of silver according to the market price, even according to the wholesale price given to the merchants by the Zhao Clan's weapons shop, it was worth more than 1,000 taels of silver.

In addition to the fact that every soldier is equipped with weapons and equipment worth thousands of taels of silver, the city guards of Andy City also conduct strict military training every day, and their strength and combat effectiveness are extremely strong, which is not comparable to other city guards at all, even if it is the combat effectiveness of the Standing Legion of the Emerald Country, it must be as high as the combat effectiveness of the city guards of Andy City.

Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that the city guards of Andy City receive loyalty education every day, accept the loyalty education of the Zhao family, and become the private soldiers of the Zhao family, which Long Kun absolutely cannot bear.

An army with strong combat effectiveness, abundant materials, and finally other families is something that Long Kun absolutely cannot bear, so Long Kun is ready to unite the three major families to destroy the Zhao family and eradicate the Zhao family's family that threatens the royal family.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family now has 20,000 private soldiers and 50,000 city guards, adding up to a total of 70,000 armed forces! The armed forces of these 70,000 people are extremely powerful and will pose a great threat to the security of the empire, so I suggest that Your Majesty disarm the Zhao family and bring Andy City into the control of the empire, so that the empire can have one more wealth and increase the strength and heritage of the empire! As soon as Long Kun's voice fell, Li Hongtao hurriedly said loudly.

The rapid development of Andy City has had a great impact on the Li family's weapons business, which makes Li Hongtao extremely uneasy! At the same time, the rapid development of Andy City and the huge wealth contained in Andy City also made Li Hongtao excited, and he wanted to use the power of the empire to take over Andy City and bring the strength of the Li family to a higher level.

"Your Majesty, the rapid development of Andy City has a close relationship with the Zhao family, without the existence of the Zhao family, Andy City would not have such rapid development! However, the development speed of Andy City is too fast, and the heart of the Zhao family is too big, so they even equip the city guards of Andy City with valuable high-quality weapons, fully arm the city guards of Andy City, and conduct day and night drills on the city guards, so that the city guards of Andy City have extraordinary combat effectiveness.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Andy City City Guards has already exceeded the security needs of Andy City, but the Zhao family still wants to continue to recruit the city guards, which is obviously a disobedience to the empire and a tendency to rebel, so I suggest that Your Majesty make up your mind as soon as possible and suppress the Zhao family, so as not to cause major losses to the empire if the Zhao family rebels.

In Chen's view, the foundation of the Zhao family lies in the steel mill and arsenal, and the foundation of the steel mill and arsenal lies in the advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology, so I suggest that Your Majesty nationalize the advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology owned by the Zhao family, so that the empire can have advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology, and all the standing legions of the empire are equipped with high-quality weapons, so that the empire's national strength and strength will be greatly increased. As soon as Li Hongtao's voice fell, Xu Hao said loudly.

In four years, although the Xu family has earned a lot of money from the Zhao family and obtained a large number of high-quality weapons, the Xu family has not been able to advance the alchemy and metallurgical technology, and has been subject to the Zhao family, which makes Xu Hao, the head of the Xu family, very dissatisfied, and wants to use the strength of the empire to obtain advanced alchemy and metallurgy technology from the hands of the Zhao family.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family uses advanced alchemy and metallurgy technology to manufacture high-quality weapons on a large scale, and sells them to various countries, especially to the empire's neighboring countries such as Tianhongguo, so that the empire's neighbors have greatly increased their strength, and the great threat to the empire is absolutely not allowed, the empire must give the Zhao family severe punishment, the Zhao family's advanced alchemy and metallurgy technology will be nationalized, Zhao Kun Andy City will be relieved of his position, and Andy City will be controlled in the palm of the empire, And confiscate all the Zhao family's property and property in Andy City! As soon as Xu Hao's voice fell, Wang Tianyu said loudly.

For four years, the Wang family has been using the merchants under his command to carry out extensive business cooperation with the Zhao family, and has earned a huge amount of profits from it! However, it was because the Wang family had earned a huge amount of profits from the cooperation of the Zhao family, and let the Wang family know that the Zhao family must have earned ten times more than ten times the wealth of the Wang family, which made the Wang family feel bad and wanted to take the wealth of the Zhao family for themselves.

Hearing the words of Li Hongtao, Xu Hao, and Wang Tianyu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Long Kun's mouth, knowing that the power of the Zhao family had made the three major families vigilant and wanted to destroy the Zhao family. At the same time, the wealth of the Zhao family also aroused the greed of the three major families, who wanted to destroy the Zhao family and take the wealth of the Zhao family for themselves.

After knowing the thoughts of the three major families, and knowing that the three major families had common goals and interests with himself, Long Kun smiled slightly and said: "The strength of the Zhao family in Andy City is not weak, we can't directly use the strong, that will cause huge turmoil and chaos in the empire, which is extremely unfavorable to the empire, so I am ready to use the method of overwhelming people to force the Zhao family to submit and achieve our goal, I don't know what your opinions are?" ”

Xu Hao, Li Hongtao, and Wang Tianyu all knew that the current Zhao family wanted money, money, and people, and it was not easy to deal with, so they nodded their heads in agreement with Long Kun's idea, and began to discuss with Long Kun the distribution of benefits after destroying the Zhao family.

In the depths of the imperial palace of the imperial capital of the neighboring country of the Jade Country, in a small conference hall, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom and the envoys from the Tianhong Kingdom, the Feishui Kingdom, the Tianheng Kingdom, the Anning Kingdom, the Crescent Moon Fruit, the Tianyin Kingdom, the Roman Kingdom, and the Flowing Fire Country gathered together and sat opposite each other.

"Everyone, welcome to our glass country! I wonder if you have been fully authorized by the Emperor of your country to have the right to conclude an alliance? Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the envoys of the other eight countries with a calm face, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of Tian Hongguo, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of Feishui Country and have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of our Tianheng Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of our Anning Country, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of our Crescent Moon Country, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of our Tianyin Kingdom and have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of our Romans and have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of our Flowing Fire Country, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

As soon as Liu Fei, the emperor of Liuli Kingdom, heard his voice, the envoys of the other eight countries responded loudly, and took out a piece of paper from his bosom that was covered with the prints of the emperors of various countries, indicating that he was fully authorized by the emperors of his own countries to sign the covenant.

"Now that the throne has the full authority of His Majesty the Emperors, let's discuss the matter of joining forces to capture the Emerald Country! Needless to say, everyone also knows that in the past four years, the Jade Country has used the advanced alchemy and metallurgy technology of the Zhao family in Andy City to obtain a huge amount of wealth from our nine countries, and let the gold and silver of our nine countries flow out in large quantities, which has dealt a heavy blow to the economy of our nine countries, for the economic security of our nine countries, we must unite and recover our losses from the Jade Country、、、、" After seeing the envoys of the other eight countries and getting the full authorization of the emperors of each country, Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, immediately stated loudly the serious impact of the Jade Kingdom on their nine kingdoms.

Hearing the words of Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, the corners of the envoys of the other eight countries showed a trace of disdainful smiles on their mouths. The nine countries of them joined forces to deal with the Jade Country, but it was not as good as what Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, said, but they just wanted to obtain the advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology in the hands of the Zhao family in Andy City through force, so as to have the ability to manufacture high-quality weapons in large quantities.

As for the capture of the Emerald Country, it is a casual matter! After all, the combined strength of the nine countries of them had already surpassed the Emerald Country many times, and it was completely possible to easily capture the Emerald Country, and at the same time obtain some land, population, and wealth while obtaining advanced alchemy and metallurgical techniques.
