Chapter 158: The Prime Ministers Who Sharpen Their Knives

Su Yi has no opinion on the seven major powers such as Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi who want to sign a treaty that limits the size of the navy and army of each country.

If the countries can really reach an agreement and sign a treaty to limit the size of the navy and army of each country, then the countries will inevitably drastically reduce the construction plan of battleships and battlecruisers, and in terms of the navy, countries are only ready to limit the number of battleships and battlecruisers, and this has not had a great impact on the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire.

Don't forget that most of the warships of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire were purchased by Su Yi from the system mall, and the warships purchased from the system mall can be temporarily stored in the system's item warehouse.

At present, Su Yi can purchase 28 super dreadnought battleships from the system mall every year, including four Queen Elizabeth-class, four Bavaria-class, four Iron Duke-class, four Ise-class, four Nevada-class, four Pennsylvania-class, and four New Mexico-class.

Twenty battlecruisers can be purchased, including four Tiger, eight Lion, four Kongo, and four Prestige.

Twelve Dreadnoughts can be purchased, including two Giant-class, two King-class, four Earl Cavour-class, and four Lone-class Solitary class.

Twelve former dreadnoughts can also be purchased, including four Edward VII-class, four Braunschweig-class, and four Lord Nelson-class.

Even if the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire also signed a treaty to limit the size of the navy and army of each country, Su Yi could buy all the battleships and battlecruisers that could be purchased every year and store them in the system's goods warehouse, if five years later, if a war broke out between the Tang Empire, the Purple Moon Empire and one of the seven powers, Su Yi would be able to take out one hundred and forty super dreadnought battleships, one hundred battle cruisers, sixty dreadnought battleships and sixty former dreadnought battleships in an instant, or even more, after all, in five years, Su Yi should still be able to get a lot of battleship and battlecruiser cards and put them in the system mall.

However, this country that is hostile to the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire will not be able to add a few battleships and battle cruisers in the past five years because of the signing of treaties limiting the scale of the navy and army of various countries, and then the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire will be able to completely abuse the navy of this hostile country with a crushing attitude.

For this reason, Su Yi certainly did not object to the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire joining this negotiation on limiting the size of the navy and army of various countries.

Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, coughed and said to Su Yi: "Your Majesty the Emperor, since the navies of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire can be regarded as the navy of one country, in the negotiations to limit the scale of the navy and army of various countries, the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire can only participate as a whole. ”

When Su Yi heard this, he immediately said categorically: "The Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire must participate as two countries in the negotiations to limit the size of each country's navy and army, otherwise the Great Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire would rather withdraw." ”

Seeing Su Yi's resolute attitude, after exchanging views with each other, the prime ministers of the seven countries reluctantly agreed to Su Yi's request, and decided that after Su Yi's enthronement ceremony was over, the representatives of the nine countries would start negotiations in Chang'an City.

After the prime ministers of the seven powers left, Su Yi brought the four high-ranking military officials, He Yunfei, Wang Chengliang, Cheng Ziwen and Zhang Qihui, over, and relayed that the seven powers were ready to sign a treaty with the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire to limit the size of the navy and army of each country.

Wang Chengliang immediately said: "Marshal, if the nine countries sign this treaty that limits the size of the navy and army of each country, then it is bound to form a joint investigation team to station in the shipyards and naval bases of each country to monitor the number of capital ships of the navies of each country and the construction of capital ships, but in that case, the seven great powers will definitely ask the marshal to disclose the non-existent island shipyard, otherwise the other seven countries will not be able to control the shipbuilding of our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire." ”

Su Yi frowned, "This is a problem, that island shipyard is just a fiction made up by me, there is no way to announce that island shipyard to the public, forget it, it really doesn't work, the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire will not participate in any treaties that limit the size of the navy and army of various countries." ”

He Yunfei said at this time: "Great Marshal, although the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire maintain a large scale of naval and land armies, the pressure on military spending is not too great, so the subordinates feel that there is no need to promote the treaty that limits the size of the navy and army of various countries, and it is best to let those seven countries invest more funds in the arms race, which will bring greater economic pressure to those seven countries." ”

Su Yi showed a smile and said: "I still have to participate in the negotiations, which shows that the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire have entered the ranks of first-class powers, but the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire must not make the slightest concession on the issue of principle." ”

After a pause, Su Yi continued: "I came to you today, mainly for the enthronement ceremony and military parade, let's go through it again and see if there are any flaws in the whole process." ”

After the seven prime ministers left the palace in Chang'an City, they did not disperse separately, but came to the embassy of the Yingluopa Empire in Chang'an City together.

In a conference room of the embassy of the British Roba Empire, Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, said aloud to the prime ministers of the other six countries: "No matter what the relationship between our seven countries is, in terms of safeguarding the interests of the white world, our seven countries should be consistent, so in the negotiation of limiting the size of the navy and army of each country, our seven countries should collectively put pressure on the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, and strive to reduce the size of the navy and army of these two Tang countries as much as possible, I don't know what do you think?" ”

As soon as Shurik's words fell, Maxim, the prime minister of the Jisk Empire, agreed: "Prime Minister Shulik is reasonable, Su Yi, who controls the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, can be described as an ambitious and dangerous person, and our seven most powerful white countries in the world should unite to limit the size of the navy and army of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire." ”

If there is anyone who has the most scruples about the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire among these seven countries, it is none other than the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire.

After all, Su Yi's set of national theories of the supremacy of the Tang people has spread throughout the world, while the Shalad Empire and the Jisk Empire still occupy the territory of the Tang State as a concession, and also obtain a series of privileges such as prospecting rights, mining rights, and road construction rights.

Nikifuor, the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, nodded and said, "The current Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire have begun to challenge the rules set by our white world, and we really have to unite to suppress these two Tang countries." ”

The Orenza Empire has just suffered a big loss at the hands of the Purple Moon Empire and the Tang Empire, and of course I hope that the more the strength of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire is weakened, the better.

Noomi Empire's Prime Minister Julian did not contradict the Sharad Empire's Prime Minister Shurik this time, "We must curb the military strength of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, otherwise the entire Eastern Continent may have to be ruled by that Su Yi in the future." ”

A younger brother of the Noomi Empire has just been annexed by the Tang Empire, if it weren't for the fact that the Noomi Empire and the Tang Empire are separated by the Sharad Empire, maybe now the Noomi Empire has broken out a war with the Tang Empire, which can weaken the military strength of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, and the Noomi Empire raised its hands in favor.

August Empire, Prime Minister of the Yingroba Empire, smiled slightly and said: "We, the Yingroba Empire, also agree with Prime Minister Shurik's proposal, and when the negotiations come, our Yingroba Empire is willing to work with other countries to put pressure on the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire to reduce the military strength of these two countries as much as possible." ”

Although the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire have not yet had any conflicts with the Yingluoba Empire, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire have dragged the Royal Navy of Yingluoba from the throne of the world's first, which is absolutely intolerable to the Yingroba Empire.

At this time, Tolichka, the prime minister of the Monia Empire, hesitated for a moment and said, "If our seven countries unite to suppress the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, what if the two countries are unwilling to be threatened and withdraw from the negotiations that limit the size of the navy and land forces of each country?" ”

Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, immediately said in a grim tone: "Once the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire are unwilling to abide by the rules set by our white world, then the only thing that awaits the Great Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire is war!" ”

Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, immediately said loudly: "If we want to wage war against the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, our Jisk Empire is willing to be the first to participate!" ”

Not to be outdone, Niki For, the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, said: "We, the Orenza Empire, are also willing to declare war on the Purple Moon Empire and the Tang Empire again in order to safeguard the interests of the white world!" ”

Yulian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, pondered for a while and said: "Although I can't be the prime minister of such a thing as declaring war on the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, if all the countries here are willing to join, presumably our Emperor Majesty of the Noomi Empire should also agree to join." ”

August, the prime minister of the British Empire, said calmly: "It is incumbent upon us to protect the interests of the entire white world. ”

Monia Empire Prime Minister Toliczka and Ryerland Empire Prime Minister Gelman glanced at each other, and did not express their position immediately, but if the other five countries are willing to declare war on the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, then the Monia Empire and the Purple Moon Empire are also likely to participate, after all, the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire combined, the land area has exceeded 49 million square kilometers, as long as the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire are defeated, the winner will get huge benefits.

And when the seven first-class powers are united, in the cognition of these seven prime ministers, there will be no country in this world that can resist, and the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire will only have the only way to go in the face of the union of the seven countries.

Su Yi would not have thought that the enthronement hall on his side had not yet been held, and the seven prime ministers of the Yingroba Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Gisk Empire, the Ryerland Empire and the Orenza Empire had already begun to sharpen their knives.

On the evening of June 28, in a dormitory in the imperial palace of Chang'an City, Su Yi asked Empress Ouyang Xue, "Xiaoxue, how is your health?" Is there a problem with attending the enthronement ceremony? ”

Empress Ouyang Xue said in a coquettish voice: "Husband, don't worry, my body is no longer in serious trouble, and there is absolutely no problem with participating in the enthronement ceremony and the military parade later." ”

Su Yi then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiaoxue, this enthronement ceremony, I am going to let Xiaoqian, Xiaowan, Xinyan, Zifang, and Ziyi also participate, you won't have an opinion, right?" ”

Empress Ouyang Xue smiled and said: "Where can I be so narrow-minded, besides, isn't my husband already ready to canonize me as the queen of the Tang Empire, even if I let Xiaoqian and Xiaowan participate in the enthronement ceremony, it will have no impact on me!" ”

Although Su Yi has not yet held an enthronement ceremony, he has already drawn up a canonization of his six women.

Ouyang Xue is of course the queen of the lord of the harem, Ouyang Qian, Ouyang Wan and Zhao Xinyan will be canonized as concubines, the status of the concubine is only below the queen, and the twin sisters Wei Zifang and Wei Ziyi will be canonized as concubines, second only to the concubine.

Su Yi said with a smile: "Don't you blame Guo Xian for that old man, I don't have to say that the enthronement ceremony can only be attended by the emperor and empress, and the other concubines in the harem can't participate, but I promised Xiao Qian and Xiao Wan before that I would take them to participate in the enthronement ceremony together, and then review the three armies of the Tang Empire, as well as the navy and land of the Purple Moon Empire." ”

Empress Ouyang Xue suddenly said with a serious face: "Husband, I have also figured it out these days, anyway, I will hand over the Purple Moon Empire to Xiao Suhuai in the future, and Xiao Suhuai is the heir of the Tang Empire, so it is better to merge the Purple Moon Empire into the Tang Empire, so that when Xiao Suhuai grows up, it will save a lot of trouble." ”

In fact, Empress Ouyang Xue is now willing to merge the Purple Moon Empire into the Tang Empire, more for her son, after all, Su Yi is not only a woman, and her son will not be just Su Huai, in case Su Yi wants to let his two sons be emperors in the future!

If the Purple Moon Empire merges with the Tang Empire, and Su Huai is the eldest son, then he can inherit the entire huge empire.

Regarding Empress Ouyang Xue's proposal to merge the Purple Moon Empire into the Tang Empire, Su Yi somewhat understood what Empress Ouyang Xue thought, so he nodded and said: "Of course, there is no problem with the merger of the Purple Moon Empire and the Tang Empire, but now that the two countries have their own administrative systems, the merger cannot be rushed, and it is not too late to study it after the enthronement ceremony is over." ”
