After a number of bloody suppression of Tang civilians who participated in demonstrations broke out in the country of Hele, the four Tang countries of the Eastern Continent quickly responded, but the Liuyun Empire and the Celestial Star Empire only raised serious protests, while the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire issued a threat of war against the country of Hele.

On the morning of March 6, 3013 in the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Kay City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, Emperor Edgrew said to Prime Minister Julian in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, what do you think about the affairs of the Heller Kingdom? ”

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although our Noomi Empire has many interests in the territory of the Hele Kingdom, but this time the actions of the Hele Kingdom are a little too unwise, Su Yi, who is about to establish the Tang Empire, has always been under the slogan of safeguarding the interests of the entire Tang Clan, and now the behavior of the Hele Kingdom is equivalent to directly giving that Su Yi an excuse to send troops." ”

Emperor Edgrew frowned slightly, "Prime Minister, the merchants of our Noomi Empire have invested tens of billions of Noomi dollars in the territory of Heller, and they can earn billions of nobel dollars every year, plus the millions of troops in Heller, almost all of them are trained by our Noomi Royal Army, Heller is almost equivalent to a vassal state of our Noomi Empire, and has also signed a protection agreement with our Noomi Empire, and now something has happened to Heller, our Noomi Empire will leave it alone, What does that make a few other countries that are close to our Noomi Empire think! ”

As soon as Prime Minister Julian heard Emperor Edru's words, he knew that Emperor Edgrew was ready to meddle in the affairs of the Hele Kingdom, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In fact, Prime Minister Julian is very aware of the personal relationship between Emperor Edgrew and Emperor Yu Yuan of Heller, and according to Emperor Edgru's character, he will never die for Heller.

However, in Prime Minister Julian's view, the Noomi Empire's meddling in the massacre of Tang civilians by the Hele army at this time was completely provoking fire, and the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire had already issued a threat of war to the Hele Kingdom because of this matter.

You must know that the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire together already have the largest navy in the world, as well as the largest army in the world, Prime Minister Julian does not want the Noomi Empire to directly stage a full-scale military operation with the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire at this time, and just for a "little brother" who causes trouble.

Prime Minister Julian thought about it for a while, and decided to persuade Emperor Edgrew again, "Your Majesty, the country of Heller is indeed very important to our Noomi Empire, but this time the country of Heller has provoked a behemoth, the Purple Moon Empire controlled by Su Yi and the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire, each of which has tens of millions of well-equipped army troops, once Su Yi is really determined to use troops against the country of Heller, he can even easily use millions of troops." ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "In addition, the country of Heller is located inland, thousands of miles away from our Noomi Empire, even if our Noomi Empire wants to intervene in the country of Heller, it is a little beyond the reach of the whip, if you take the sea route, Your Majesty, don't forget that the size of the navy under Su Yi has even surpassed the Yingluoba navy." ”

Emperor Edgrew was silent for a moment and then said: "Prime Minister, no matter what, this time our Noomi Empire must firmly stand on the side of Hele, otherwise it will chill people's hearts, but what the Prime Minister said also has some truth, after all, Hele is too far away from our Noomi Empire, and Hele is a landlocked country, even if our Noomi Empire sends troops to Hele Country, we can only use the sea route, first enter the country of Heller north of the country of Heller, and then enter the country of Heller through the country of Heller. ”

Wupe is located in the east of the original Cangyu Empire and north of the Hele Kingdom, with an area of about 4.6 million square kilometers, nine provinces, and a population of about 90 million, of which the Tang people account for 60 million, and the Heng people account for 30 million.

In the entire Eastern Continent, there are only two countries with a very close relationship with the Noomi Empire, in addition to the Hele Country, the other is the Upe Country, but unlike the Hele Country, the Hele Country took the initiative to stick to the Noomi Empire, and the Upe Country was opened by the Noomi Empire more than ten years ago with a ship and a sharp cannon.

Emperor Edgrew then continued to say to Prime Minister Julian: "First send a note to the upcoming Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, telling that Su Yi that the country of Heller is the protectorate of our Noomi Empire, and any country that invades the country of Heller is equivalent to being an enemy of our Noomi Empire, and immediately dispatch a full infantry corps to rush to the country of Wool by sea, and then enter the country of Heller through the country of Wool. ”

Prime Minister Julian said with some concern: "Your Majesty, once the army of the Tang Empire sends troops to the Hele Country, will our Noomi Empire really declare war with the Tang Empire and even the Purple Moon Empire?" ”

Emperor Edgrew sighed and said, "Let's take one step at a time!" In fact, it doesn't matter if it is a declaration of war, we are separated from the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire, and we are still separated by the Sharad Empire, and a large-scale war cannot be fought. ”

Prime Minister Julian then said: "Your Majesty, don't forget the Datang Empire Navy and the Purple Moon Empire Navy under Su Yi, if the two sides are in a state of war, Su Yi can send a naval fleet to attack the northern coastal cities of our Noomi Empire, at present, the capital ships of our Noomi Royal Navy are only sixteen super dreadnought battleships, twenty-four dreadnought battleships, twenty-four former dreadnought battleships and thirty-six ironclad battleships, only one Tang Empire navy, The strength is far greater than that of our entire Noomi Royal Navy. ”

Emperor Edgrew nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment and said, "Then try to control and not declare war, but if that Su Yi doesn't measure himself, I won't have any retreat!" In addition, we will provide a sum of money to support the expansion of the army of the Heller Kingdom, which has established a sizable reserve under the direction of our Royal Army Noomi. ”

On the morning of March 7, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Su Yi held two notes sent by the Noomi Empire to the Purple Moon Empire and the Tang Empire respectively, and asked He Yunfei and Xu Haoming in a cold voice: "What do you think of the note sent by the Noomi Empire?" ”

He Yunfei immediately said: "Great Marshal, the Noomi Empire does not have a territorial border with our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, and the garrison of the Noomi Empire in the territory of the Hele Kingdom is only a mere infantry division of about 50,000 people, and the subordinates think that our Su family army does not need to pay attention to the threat of the Noomi Empire at all, if the Hele Kingdom does not agree to our conditions, our Su family army should send troops according to the original plan, the area of the entire Hele country is almost six million square kilometers, and among its 160 million people, There are more than 100 million people who are Tang people, and our Su family army can take this opportunity to expand the territory of the Tang Empire. ”

Xu Haoming thought for a while and said: "Dashuai, the territory of the Hele Kingdom is rich in mineral resources, if the Hele Kingdom can be merged into the Tang Empire, the financial income of our Datang Empire can increase by about 700 million or 800 million silver dollars every year, or even more." ”

Su Yi crumpled the two notes of the Noomi Empire in his hand, and then threw them on the ground casually, "Don't say that the Noomi Empire does not border the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, even if the border line is adjacent, what is our Su family army afraid of!" Speed up the deployment of troops to the border areas adjacent to the country of Hele, if the country dares to refuse the conditions of our Su army, then there is no need for the country of Hele to exist. ”

After receiving a telegram from Emperor Edgrew of the Noomi Empire, Yu Yuan, the Emperor of the Heller Kingdom, excitedly said to Li Xu, the chief minister of the Heller Kingdom: "Great! The Noomi Empire is willing to fully support our Heller Country, an infantry legion of the Noomi Royal Army is about to rush to the territory of our Heller Country, and my friend Edgrew is also willing to fully support the expansion of our Heller Country's army, and help our Heller Kingdom solve the funds for the expansion of the army, I don't need to be afraid of the threat of Su Yi! ”

Li Xu, the chief minister, looked at the excited Emperor Yu Yuan, and said with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, after all, the Noomi Empire is far away from our Hele Country, and the Noomi Empire is not bordered by the upcoming Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire. ”

Emperor Yu Yuan waved his hand and said: "That's not a problem, the powerful heritage of the Noomi Empire is not comparable to that of Su Yi's nouveau riche, with the full support of the Noomi Empire, even if the Su family army really dares to invade our Hele country, I am confident that I will lead 60 million Xiang people to drive the Su family army out of their homeland!" ”

Li Xu, the chief minister of parliament, smiled bitterly, it seems that the war between the Hele Kingdom and the Su family army is inevitable, but Li Xu is not as confident in the Noomi Empire as Emperor Yu Yuan, "Your Majesty, how much are you going to expand the Royal Army of Hele?" ”

Emperor Yu Yuan said without hesitation: "Strive to convert all the reserves into active duty, and in addition, we must reorganize all the men between the ages of sixteen and sixty in the Xiang clan as much as possible to form a garrison force, after all, there are hundreds of millions of Tang people in our country, and we must guard against the Tang people in the country and the Su family army." ”

Chief Minister Li Xu showed a shocked expression, "Your Majesty, the reserve of our Royal Army of Heller is more than eight million!" ”

"Eight million people are too few, and among the sixty million Xiang clansmen, there are at least twenty million men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, and if possible, I hope that the size of the Royal Army of Heller can be expanded to twenty million!"
