The generosity of the Far Easterners sparked a heated debate at the Avalon court. There were quite a few well-established ministers who doubted that the Far Easterners would not be able to deliver on their boastful Haikou, a barbaric country that had just escaped the control of the Empire, where the vast majority of its inhabitants were still starving, where could so much grain come from for export? What's more, the Far Easterners are not only generous to Fijin, but also generous to the Hailan people, and also make a promise to supply 500,000 tons of grain, so a fool can believe this empty check!

In order to verify whether the Kingdom of Kolas was really capable of exporting millions of tons of grain, the Phi Zhen cabinet sent an unofficial team to the Far East, which arrived in Krasburg in mid-November, and soon after sent back a detailed report of the expedition, the conclusion of which shocked the whole Phi Zhen government and the public: the Far East is indeed capable of exporting no less than one million tons of grain this year, and this is the result of the implementation of the agricultural tax reduction policy by the Korras government, which shows that the level of local agricultural output far exceeds that of the Vales countries.

Jeffries didn't know what magic the Far Easterners had used to cause food production to skyrocket, but he knew that grain exports from the Far East were crucial to stabilizing Fijgen's food prices. In the event of a war between the Far East and Canaan, and the food supply agreement was reduced to a dead letter due to the force majeure factor of war, the pressure on the Fijin government would be greater than that of the Far East. Carlos III did not want to cause trouble, so he immediately informed Geoffries after receiving a letter from Rudolf I, asking him to find out the causes and consequences of the conflict between Canaan and the Far East as soon as possible, and to do everything possible to prevent the conflict between the two countries from escalating.

Footsteps could be heard outside the living room door. The two ambassadors immediately stopped their conversation, stood up, and saluted the old man who had walked into the living room with his hands in his hands, with a proper respect.

The old man was slightly chubby, with his white hair combed meticulously, smiling and shaking hands with the visitors one by one, and sat down one after another.

The two ambassadors, of course, recognized this old gentleman of extraordinary grace - Earl Samuel Weinberg, the current Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer of Canaan, and the "great butler" on whom the Marquis of Joshua relied the most.

"Mr. Jeffries, Mr. Parini, my king has entrusted me to apologize to the two of you, and I can't get away from meeting you in person, and if you have any important things, you may as well tell me, and I will tell your majesty the truth."

Jeffries and Parini listened to the Prime Minister's words, looked at each other first, and then nodded tacitly.

"Your Excellency, it is said that an armed conflict has broken out between the Medean garrison and the Far Easterners across the border, and given that my country's interests are involved, it is my duty to know whether this is true and how the Canaanite side intends to respond to this incident." Parini was the first to show his intentions.

"'Armed conflict'?" Weinberg was stunned, "Mr. Parini, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"Are you denying that?" Parini asked, "Are you sure it's been business as usual on the border of Mount Mochizuki lately?" ”

"Mr. Parini, there are often bandit gangs in the border area of Mount Mochizuki who are running around in the Far East and Canaan, and in order to ensure the safety of the border residents of the two countries, three days ago, the Medesan border guards, with the cooperation of the Far East military, exterminated a gang of bandits that were rampaging in southern Xinjiang and defended the border peace.

Parini took a deep look at the political veteran and didn't believe a word of what he said, but it didn't matter if it was true or not, what mattered was the qualitative attitude of Weinberg and the Canaanite court behind him towards the incident.

"It turns out that I mistakenly believed the rumors, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, our majesty can rest assured." Parini smiled with relief.

Weinberg twisted his neck slightly, and asked lightly, "His Majesty Konstantin is still interested in caring about these little things?" ”

"Small things may not bring big trouble, although the anthill on the embankment is small, it may cause the flood to burst the embankment and flood countless fertile fields!" Bellini's eyes widened exaggeratedly. There are different styles of diplomats, such as the traditional one Jeffries, who is careful and rigorous, and Bellini is the other style, who looks like a scheming guy who knows exactly what to say and what not to say, and his open-mouthed style is conducive to lowering the vigilance of the interlocutor.

Weinberg listened quietly to Parini's complaints. In fact, he had heard of the grain trade between Hailan and the Kingdom of Kolas, but he underestimated the closeness of the relationship between the two countries. Weinberg made no secret of the fact that the food supply in the Far East had a great deal to do with Hailan's strategy in the New World, and that if the Far Easterners gave up exporting grain due to the threat from the south, Hailan would be forced to adjust its diplomatic strategy, and the cooperation intentions reached with the Marquis of Canaan in many aspects such as diplomacy, military and trade would have to be weighed again.

As a country's prime minister and chancellor of the exchequer, Weinberg certainly understands the implicit threat of the other side's complaints. Canaan is a landlocked country that relies on maritime trade imports for many of its commodities and resources, and La Mer is Canaan's second largest trading partner.

Jeffries doesn't talk much, but his position is the same as Parini's. Fijrí is Canaan's largest trading partner. Offending these two maritime hegemons, trade losses are secondary, diplomatic crises will follow, and even isolation will be imposed on the international stage.

"My king knows very well that the Far Easterners and the Canaanites are peace-loving peoples, and that we Fijin people love your peace more than these two peoples." Jeffries made a final statement and then stood up to take his leave. Like a light ball, Parini bounced off his seat, bowed to His Excellency the Prime Minister, and ran out after the back of the "old lobster".

Weinberg watched the two ambassadors leave one after another, and the moment he looked up, two deep textures appeared in the center of his eyebrows. The two ambassadors did not even have to wait to leave his field of vision before they spoke "whispers", and judging by the frequent nodding gestures of both sides, Weinberg had reason to believe that the two powers would reach a unified position in favor of the latter on the issue of interference in the friction between Canaan and the Far East.

Earl Samuel Weinberg was born in the noble family of Canaan, and his genealogy can be traced back to the personal guards who followed the founding monarch of Canaan out of the desert, and served the royal family of Zion for generations.

Samuel Weinberg, who has been the Prime Minister of Canaan for nearly ten years, suddenly feels a little overwhelmed and increasingly unclear about the future direction.
