Chapter 156: The Prime Minister of the Seven Great Powers

For the three choices given by Su Yi, Su Yi's second brother Su Kai finally chose the first one and entered a certain ministry under the Prime Minister's Office of the Tang Empire as an ordinary low-level official, while Su Yi's third brother Su Tao chose the second one and entered a factory fully controlled by the royal family of the Tang Empire as the factory director.

Only Su Yi's eldest brother, Su Rui, gave up the three choices given by Su Yi and was ready to continue to stay in Fushan County of the Liuyun Empire, so that he could inherit the title of hereditary baron in the future.

For the choice of his second brother and third brother, Su Yi was a little surprised, originally thought that they would choose a start-up capital of 10 million silver dollars, you must know that 10 million silver dollars is a considerable amount of wealth, according to the current land price of the Tang Empire, you can even buy hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Su Yi then discussed with his father Su Mingyuan, and decided to give each of his three elder brothers two million silver dollars, which was a little bit of Su Yi's affection for the three elder brothers.

Originally, Su Yi was also going to give his father Su Mingyuan a sum of money, after all, the financial income of Fushan County a year was only about 300,000 silver dollars, and the funds in Su Mingyuan's hands had not been abundant, but Su Yi's proposal was categorically rejected by Su Mingyuan, Su Mingyuan said that now the finances of Fushan County can basically reach a balance between revenue and expenditure, so Su Mingyuan is not short of money, if there is a shortage of money one day, he will naturally care about what Su Yi wants.

After Su Yi's father Su Mingyuan arrived in Chang'an City, as the enthronement ceremony approached, the guests invited to participate in Su Yi's enthronement ceremony from various countries also arrived in Chang'an City one after another.

On the afternoon of June 25, 3013 in the Tang calendar, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Xu Haoming, who was about to become the first prime minister of the Tang Empire, told Su Yi: "Dashuai, at present, the guests from dozens of countries around the world who participated in the enthronement ceremony have come to Chang'an City, among which only the prime ministers of various countries have come to twenty-three, the prime ministers of the Yingroba Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Jisk Empire, the Ruierland Empire and the Orenza Empire have all come. Several other countries have sent princes. ”

Su Yi nodded slightly, and then said to He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire in the Hall of Virtue: "The safety of the guests from all countries must be foolproof, and how are the preparations for the parade?" ”

After Su Yi's enthronement ceremony, there will be a large-scale military parade, in addition to the army of the Tang Empire, some officers and soldiers of the Royal Army and Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire will also participate in this big parade.

At this time, in the Hall of Virtue, in addition to Xu Haoming and He Yunfei, there are three other people here, including Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Cheng Ziwen, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, and Zhang Qihui, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire.

He Yunfei immediately said: "Don't worry, the safety of the guests from all countries is currently in the responsibility of the First Guards Infantry Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau, there should be no mistakes, and the parade ceremony has also been rehearsed many times, and the day of the enthronement ceremony will definitely surprise the world, but it is a pity that the armored forces of our Royal Army of the Tang Empire, as well as the fighters and bombers of the Royal Air Force of our Tang Empire, cannot participate in this parade, otherwise the shock to the countries of the world will be even stronger." ”

Su Yi said with a smile: "The armored forces and the fighters and bombers of the Air Force, but the hidden killer feature of our Tang Empire, I am also ready to give the enemy a super surprise on the battlefield in the future, and I can't expose it now." ”

He Yunfei then hesitated for a moment and said: "Marshal, before I came to the palace, the Military Intelligence Bureau just reported to me that Shurik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, will have a banquet at the embassy of the Sharad Empire in Chang'an City tonight, the Prime Minister of the Yingluopa Empire, the Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, Julian, the Prime Minister of the Monia Empire, Tolicka, the Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Rilland Empire, Gelman, and the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Nikifor. ”

When Su Yi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, "What do the prime ministers of these seven countries want to do when they get together?" Didn't the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, Shurik, invite people from other countries to attend? ”

He Yunfei shook his head and said: "The Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, Shurik, only invited the prime ministers of these six countries, as for what happened, we don't know yet, and because the embassy of the Sharad Empire in Chang'an City did not hire Tang people, so the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau could not get in to get information. ”

At this time, Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, frowned and said: "I feel that it will definitely not be a good thing for the prime ministers of these seven countries to get together, and if you don't get it, it will be aimed at our Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire." ”

On the evening of June 25, in a conference room of the Embassy of the Sharad Empire in Chang'an City, Shurik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, said to the other six prime ministers with a smile on his face: "Thank you for coming to this dinner, of course, before the dinner begins, I have some things that I would like to discuss with you. ”

Julian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, immediately said in a cold voice: "Shurik, if there is anything to say, I am here today mainly for dinner." ”

The relationship between the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire has always been tense, so every time Shurik and Julian meet, they are almost-for-tat.

Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, didn't care about the attitude of Julian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, and still kept a smile and said: "Presumably all countries already know the scale of the navy and army of the soon-to-be-established Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, in fact, they are two countries, but the navy and army of these two countries are firmly controlled by Su Yi, and according to the scale of the navy and army controlled by Su Yi, it has already posed a fatal threat to the seven major powers here, so our Sharad Empire believes that for the benefit of the entire white world, Our seven great powers should unite to limit the size of the navy and army of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire. ”

The words of Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, made the prime ministers of the other six countries frown, and August, the prime minister of the Yingluoba Empire, pursed his lips and said: "Shurik, is your Sharad Empire a little whimsical, unless there is a war against the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, and finally defeats the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, otherwise it is impossible for the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire to limit the size of their naval and land forces just by relying on threats!" Could it be that your Shalad Empire was unwilling to lose last time, and you want to fight Su Yi's army again? ”

Relations between the Anglopa Empire and the Sharad Empire have also been tense in recent years, although there has not been much conflict between the two countries because the two countries do not share a border, but the two navies have fought for maritime interests, and small-scale naval conflicts have occurred from time to time.

Tolicka, the Prime Minister of the Monia Empire, then said: "We, the Monia Empire, will never participate in a senseless war. ”

Gelman, the prime minister of the Ryerland Empire, followed and said, "We, the Ryerland Empire, will not join the war against the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire. ”

The Monia Empire and the Ryerland Empire are both in the Northern Continent, and they don't have much conflict of interest with the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, so of course they don't want to take the fire for the Sharad Empire.

Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, and Nikifor, the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, showed hesitation on their faces, after all, the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire were very big threats to their two countries.

Sharad Empire Prime Minister Shurik was not angry in the face of the sarcasm of August Empire, the Prime Minister of the Yingluoba Empire, and still said with a smile: "Please let me finish speaking, restricting the size of the navy and army of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire does not necessarily have to be a war against the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire, as long as our seven countries also join the treaty to limit the size of the navy and army, presumably that Su Yi will also agree to the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire to join." ”

Julian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, immediately exclaimed, "Shurik, you Sharad Empire are crazy! Let's let the Noomi Empire limit the size of the navy and army, that is simply impossible! ”

Shurik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, suddenly sighed and said: "Julian, I know that your Noomi Empire has discovered a gold mine with an astonishing reserve and a silver mine with an astonishing reserve, and now the twenty-four ocean-class super dreadnought battleships and twenty-four Fighter-class battlecruisers of your Noomi Empire Navy with 356 mm guns have begun to be built, But don't forget that the Imperial Navy of Yingroba has started to build thirty Tenacious-class Super Dreadnought battleships and thirty Ambush-class battlecruisers with 381 mm guns at the same time, and presumably your Noomi Imperial Navy will not stop building Super Dreadnought Battleships and Battle Cruisers. ”

Julian, Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, said without hesitation: "Our Noomi Imperial Admiralty has designed the Mist-class super dreadnought-class battleships and Fast-Horse-class battlecruisers with 381mm guns, and according to the plan, our Noomi Imperial Navy will eventually build thirty-six Mist-class super dreadnought battleships and thirty-six Fast-Horse-class battlecruisers, of which eight Mist-class super dreadnought battleships have already started construction." ”

The words of Yulian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, made the prime ministers of the other six countries gasp, and August, the prime minister of the Yingluoba Empire, frowned even more.

Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, in order to catch up with the pace of the expansion of the navies of various countries, our Sharad Imperial Navy has prepared to build eighteen Loud-class super dreadnought battleships with 381 mm guns and eighteen Maple-class battlecruisers at the same time, and is also preparing to build another batch of 40,000-ton docks, maybe the number of Loud-class super dreadnought battleships and Maple Leaf-class battlecruisers will be even more, so go on, The fierce naval arms race will inevitably bring a very heavy burden to several of our countries, and even if there is a mountain of gold, it will not be enough to consume it in this way. ”
