Chapter 149: Declaring War on the Kingdom of Hele
On the morning of March 9, 3013 in the Tang calendar, Li Xu, the chief minister of the Heller Kingdom, held a press conference and denounced the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, which had not yet been established, for meddling in the internal affairs of Heller.
Li Xu claimed that the Tang people killed by the Royal Heller's army in various cities were rebels who wanted to split and subvert the Heller state, and that the execution of these rebels was the internal affair of the Heller state, and other countries had no right to interfere.
At the same time, Li Xu announced that in order to deal with some countries with ulterior motives, the Royal Heller Army will carry out a large-scale expansion from the current 1 million to 9 million, and Heller will also set up a number of garrisons to maintain law and order to cooperate with the Royal Heller Army to suppress all rebels who try to split and subvert Heller.
After Su Yi learned the content of the press conference held by Li Xu, the chief minister of the Heller Kingdom, he discussed it with He Yunfei, the future commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and asked people to send a declaration of war to the embassy of the Heller Kingdom in Chang'an City, announcing that the Tang Empire was officially in a state of war with the Heller State from now on, and it was less than six hours before the press conference of the Chief Minister of the Heller Kingdom Li Xu ended.
Although the Tang Empire had not yet been established, Su Yi still declared war on the Heller Kingdom in the name of the Tang Empire, and then the Heller Kingdom received a declaration of war from the Purple Moon Empire.
In a large hall of the imperial palace in Heller, the capital of Heller, Li Xu, the chief minister of Heller, asked Emperor Yu Yuan with a frightened face: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?" That Su Yi didn't pay any attention to the threat of the Noomi Empire at all, and now the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire have both declared war on our Hele Country! β
Emperor Yu Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately issue a national mobilization order, let the eight million reservists join the Royal Army of Heller as soon as possible, open all the arsenals, arm the eight million reserve officers and soldiers, if the existing weapons and equipment are not enough, equip the remaining reserve officers and soldiers with grenades and cold weapons first, and the Noomi Empire will soon send enough weapons and ammunition to our Royal Army of Heller." β
At this time, Luo Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Heller Army, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the weapons and ammunition reserves of our Royal Heller Army, we can arm almost six million reserve officers and soldiers, but one-third of them can only be equipped with old breech single-shot rifles, and there must be about two million reserve officers and soldiers who can only be equipped with grenades and cold weapons. β
The chief of the army of Heller is equivalent to the minister of war of various countries, and the functions are exactly the same.
Emperor Yu Yuan immediately sighed and said: "The two million new repeating rifles, five million breech single-shot rifles, 100,000 pistols, 10,000 light machine guns, 5,000 heavy machine guns, 8 billion rifle bullets and pistol bullets, 30 million grenades, and thousands of artillery pieces and millions of shells donated by the Noomi Empire to our Royal Army will set off with an infantry corps of the Noomi Royal Army, but because it will take at least two or more to travel 10,000 kilometers by sea and pass through the Upe country. It will take three months to reach our country, so the mission of the Royal Army will be mainly defensive. β
After a pause, Emperor Yu Yuan continued: "The report on our Heller Royal Army's suppression of the troublesome Tang people appeared in the newspaper, and it only appeared for a few days, presumably if the Su family army wants to invade our Heller country, it will also take a long time to prepare, and our Heller Royal Army should have enough time to arm the eight million reservists." β
Army Chief Luo Hao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, even if we really want to start a war with the Su family's army, our Hele country should also leave more time to prepare, why did we directly tear our faces with the Su family army so quickly?" β
Emperor Yu Yuan and Chief Minister Li Xu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then Chief Minister Li Xu said: "Chief Luo, it's not that our Hele Kingdom wants to tear up with Su Jiajun so quickly, but that Su Jiajun has given us Hele Country a deadline to agree to their harsh conditions, if we Hele Country does not agree to Su Jiajun's harsh conditions before 0:00 a.m. on March 10, then the result will be exactly the same as now." β
Emperor Yu Yuan sighed and said: "It's useless to dwell on these now, not only the eight million reservists have to be armed, but the men of our Xiang clan between the ages of sixteen and sixty must also be mobilized, I have ordered several arsenals in the country to produce non-stop production twenty-four hours a day, and strive to produce more weapons and ammunition before the invasion of the Su army." β
Li Xu, the chief minister of parliament, suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, the Upe Kingdom has also stockpiled a lot of weapons and ammunition, and even sealed millions of old breech single-shot rifles. β
Emperor Yu Yuan nodded and said: "This is also a way, presumably my friend Edgru must be willing to help with this, by the way, has the female reporter of the Liuyun Empire who wrote that report been caught?" If he was caught, he would be beheaded directly, and there would be no need for a trial, and if it weren't for this nosy female reporter, things wouldn't have gotten to this point! β
Li Xu, the chief minister of parliament, shook his head and said: "I didn't catch it, but our intelligence department has already obtained the photo of that female reporter from the Liuyun Empire, as long as she hasn't left the country of Hele, she will definitely not be able to escape!" β
In the middle of the night of March 10, in the basement of a private house in the capital of Hele City, Liu Muqing said to Wu Xuedong, his assistant Zhang Ying, and two bodyguards, Cao Liang and Yang Ping: "Uncle Fugen has inquired that the army of Hele has found a photo of me from somewhere, and is now searching for me and people holding passports of the Liuyun Empire in various cities across the country, so in a short period of time, there is no way for us to get out of the city." β
Liu Muqing's words made the faces of photographer Wu Xuedong and assistant Zhang Ying turn pale in an instant, and the young assistant Zhang Ying asked Liu Muqing tremblingly: "Sister Liu, can we still go home alive?" β
The photographer Wu Xuedong said to himself in annoyance: "I said that I should wait until I left the country of Hele, and then send back the report to the newspaper, now it's over, we are completely trapped in the country of Hele, alasββ"
Liu Muqing's grandfather, Liu Huaizhong, the naval minister of the Liuyun Empire, gave Cao Liang and Yang Ping, the bodyguards of Liu Muqing's faction, his face was very calm at this time, and Cao Liang said: "Actually, Miss Zhang and Mr. Wu don't have to worry, Uncle Fugen is the old man of our Liu family, he is loyal to the Liu family, and he is the person in charge of many industries of our Liu family in the country of Hele, as long as we stay here with Uncle Fugen, when the rumor passes, we will naturally be able to return to the Liuyun Empire." β
Photographer Wu Xuedong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since the army of Hele Kingdom has obtained Miss Liu's photo, will you know the relationship between Miss Liu and Uncle Fugen?" β
Another bodyguard, Yang Ping, said with a relaxed face: "Mr. Wu, rest assured, our Liu family's business in the country of Hele is not under the banner of the Liu family, and outsiders do not know the relationship between Uncle Fugen and our Liu family, after all, these businesses are shady." β
At this time, Liu Muqing suddenly showed a smug smile, "Uncle Fugen also brought us good news, because in my report, the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire have declared war on the Heller Kingdom, maybe we won't be trapped here for too long." β
At this time, Liu Muqing's mind flashed a mediocre-looking young man, looking at her like a river, Liu Muqing never thought that the young general who was busy for her would make such great achievements in just over two years, and even ascend the throne as emperor in a few months and become the founder of a huge empire.
Liu Muqing couldn't help but feel a little regret in his heart, he should have stayed in Xingang City for a while.
When the photographer Wu Xuedong heard that the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire had declared war on the Hele Kingdom, the panic on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said excitedly: "Su Dashuai has made a move, then we will definitely be saved, with the strength of the Su family's army, a small Hele country, there is nothing to be afraid of, maybe the future Tang Empire will increase the land of another six million square kilometers and become the largest country in the world!" β
At present, the largest country in the world is the Noomi Empire, with a land area of about 29 million square kilometers, followed by the former Cangyu Empire, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area, with a land area of about 28 million square kilometers, which is about 1.3 million square kilometers different from the Noomi Empire.
Assistant Zhang Ying's face was much better at this time, and she said excitedly to Liu Muqing: "Sister Liu, did you say that Su Dashuai would bring troops to Hele City, Sister Liu, don't you know Su Dashuai?" Can you help me ask Su Dashuai for an autograph when the time comes? β
Su Yi's prestige among the Tang people in the entire Eastern Continent is simply unparalleled, especially after Su Yi's set of national theories was widely spread in various countries in the entire Eastern Continent, coupled with a series of dazzling achievements made by Su Yi, so that many young people of the Tang Nationality, no matter which country, regarded Su Yi as their idol.
This is also another reason why the top leaders of the Celestial Star Empire and the top of the Liuyun Empire are afraid of Su Yi, once Su Yi becomes greedy for the Celestial Star Empire or the Convection Cloud Empire, maybe these two countries will not only need to resist the powerful Su family army on the one hand, but also have to deal with the crisis from within the country.
Photographer Wu Xuedong suddenly sighed and said, "Miss Liu, we should have stayed in Xingang City for a few more days, maybe you are ...... now."
Liu Muqing smiled and didn't answer Wu Xuedong's words, but turned his head to his assistant Zhang Ying and said, "Xiaoying, Su Dashuai shouldn't come to Hele City, but after we get out of trouble, I will take you to Chang'an City and help you ask Su Dashuai for an autograph." β
