Time: Twenty minutes after Binghe left the tank factory.

In the specific location, next to the Empire III tank factory, an atmosphere of intrigue is brewing in the factory management office.

Duke Lin Yin and the Imperial Prime Minister sat across from each other at their desks, and the Prime Minister gentlemanly poured thick cocoa powder on his ceramic teacup. Then it was brewed with water from a kettle, and the water poured into the cup to form a swirling vortex that rolled up a floating foam.

On the other hand, Duke Lin Yin spread out a map of the Western Continent. On the map, the political-military situation on the mainland is clear at a glance.

The Oka Empire is the westernmost part. However, on the northeastern border of Oka is Pratt & Whitney, the Oka Empire's land ally for three hundred years, and the only ally on the continent.

So politically, what the Oka Empire wants to do, the ideas of this ally have an influence on Okka's national policy.

For example, the Oka Empire originally decided to intervene in the election of kings in the kingdoms of Heman.

Oka's original plan was to elect Bix and support Pratt & Whitney for this political status. This political decision was somehow leaked and let Pratt & Whitney know, which made Pratt & Whitney very dissatisfied, and immediately sent a diplomatic envoy.

Note: The leak of the secret, it can be seen that in the parliament of the Oka Empire, some members of the parliament are Richard Pratt & Whitney, so now the two high-level dignitaries of the empire have a secret discussion on this matter.

#

Therefore, under the diplomatic pressure of Pratt & Whitney, the Oka Empire had to reconsider its political manipulation in the selection of the king of Heman.

First things first: the decision to escort the prince of Bickley to the king's trip will not change.

But the option of 'controlling the puppet of Bix and seizing the chairmanship of the Heman League' could not be maintained.

The lords of the Oka Council can only adopt other options that are acceptable to themselves and their allies

#

The two paced at the table with the map.

The Prime Minister put away his gaze from staring at the map, and he raised his head and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "The diplomatic ambassadors of Pratt & Whitney are here, we can't ignore their requests, and the empire's strategy in the middle of the continent still needs to rely on them. ”

Relative to the Prime Minister's aristocratic gentleman style. Duke Lin Yin's movements were a bit iron-blooded, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the middle of the continent: "Pratt & Whitney can rise, but the wreckage of the Heman Empire must be completely dismembered." ”

The elders of the army were very wary of the possible future land power states on the western continent.

The prime minister put a few more sugars in the black tea in the cup, stirred slowly with a sugar spoon, and quickly melted the cubes as the cubes melted in the hot water. The smell of cocoa permeated the hall.

The prime minister said lightly: "Since Pratt & Whitney is dissatisfied with our plan, and they won the election victory, we can't accept it." So"

"Ding ding" the prime minister tapped the ceramic cup with a teaspoon.

And said in a tone of false compassion: "Let the electoral system disappear." This seeming alliance of the Hemen is long overdue. The little prince of the Duchy of Bix, we are also ready! ”

The political conspiracy planned by the two at this time did not care about Bix's wishes at all. In the collusion of the powerful, the interests of the weak are ignored. At this time, when the two were talking about things, it seemed that Bix was the hen he had raised, and now he was ready to kill and serve it to the table.

#

Duke Lin Yin is like a director who has reviewed the script.

The field marshal stroked his majestic beard and bowed his head: "Then let the Pratt & Whitneys go and play this drama." ”

A dark smile appeared on the Prime Minister's face: "Pratt & Whitney doesn't need to do this with his own hands. Now the new Archduke of Oakleigh is an idiot. ”

The two imperial magnates spoke of the topic of 'the new Archduke of Oakley', just as the idlers in the teahouse talked about Kong Yiji, with a contemptuous and wicked smile.

Duke Lin Yin nodded and said with a smile: "The Grand Duke of Oakley (the former king of the Hemans) has endured all his life, and is considered a soft bag by his own heir. ”

The prime minister gently shook the teacup and judged: "And the new duke is used to his grandfather's status as the leader of the Heman alliance, but he can't see the strength of the continent, and he has long been looking forward to how his grandfather will show his strength after his death." How could they bear to take the position of Heman Emperor from other principalities? ”

The prime minister tasted the black tea with a spoon: "Say, the mainland is like this cup of cocoa, you must stir it more,"

With that, he scraped the bottom of the teacup with a spoon, pulled it out, and licked the brown goo on it. said: "You see that the taste is just right." ”

Duke Lin Yin stared at the map: "When the balance of power on the continent is maintained, the empire can control the situation on the continent with a detached attitude. ”

Meanwhile.

St. Sauk's Empire,

The top floor of the Celestial Tower, the Emperor's personal office space.

Thick woolen blankets were laid out here, and a large table of six square meters was placed in front.

The bright electric light radiated light on the table, and at the same time, due to the angle, the light directly shone on the person opposite Emperor Saint Sauk, and at this time, standing opposite Emperor Saint Sauk, he couldn't help but lower his head and squint his eyes because of the strong light. So much so that he couldn't see the emperor's expression and couldn't figure out the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor Saint Soy was also looking at the materials from the Western Continent.

As the military police of the Western Continent for nearly a hundred years, Saint Sauk naturally would not ignore the major political activity of the election of the Heman people.

In fact, in the previous generation, the sudden death of the Grand Duke of Oakley was very sad and headache for Emperor Saint Sauce.

The previous Grand Duke of Oakley signed a series of covenants with St. Sauce over a period of two hundred years. The relationship between the two sides has gradually changed from the original discord to a quasi-military alliance.

The two sides are curbing the Hella people and controlling the Pratt & Whitneys, and many issues have a common language.

And now that the new Grand Duke has come to power, the originally stable relationship between Saint Sauc and Oakley has suddenly become turbulent.

#

In the emperor's office, there were three other people, these three people stood straight in front of the desk, their heads bowed, and their expressions were deferential waiting for the emperor's ruling.

The names of the three people are: Xu Ling, Hancheng, and Beiyu.

PS: These three people are the General Directorate of Military Police, the Chief of Military Intelligence, and the Department of Foreign Affairs. Three separate intelligence organizations. It looks wasteful and bloated.

But for the empire, it is necessary to have three intelligence departments, and if there is still one of them engaged in intelligence, it will be a terrible thing for the empire. That one will become an uncontrollable dark organization within the empire.

For example, in the twentieth century, John Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI in the United States, worked for 48 years, and no one dared to let him retire. When he was in office, Kennedy was directly beaten to death in the street. In the end, it became an unsolved case. When this guy died, the congressional veterans immediately split the American intelligence organization into three.

And the Emperor of Saint Sauk here is obviously obedient to the governance of the three intelligence organizations of the empire, and each intelligence leader has also formed a terrifying deterrent to each other.

#

At this time, Emperor Saint Saur got three points of information and read all the information. I couldn't help frowning

The intelligence collected by the three intelligence groups is now highly consistent.

The new Grand Duke of Oakley was an arrogant lord, and he was dissatisfied with all the compromises his father had made in the second half of his life. The newcomer's Grand Duke was hostile to both Oka and St. Sauk. At the same time, he also had the habit of looking down on the principalities of the Heman Empire. (There is no young lady's life, but there is a young lady's temper)

When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visited the new Grand Duke, the new Grand Duke arrogantly expressed that he wanted to talk to the Emperor of the Saint Sauc Empire about the question of "the ownership of the Chriss Peninsula".

#

Chriss Peninsula

This territory was the last emperor of the St. Sauc Empire two hundred and seventy years ago. Judging the change in the situation on the mainland. He was very decisive in sending a fleet north and landing on the northern shore of the Mediterranean, an enclave for the Saint Sauk Empire.

And this happened at the time of the youngest and prime of the last generation of the Oakley Grand Justice, as the leader of the anti-Oka Alliance. In the face of such provocations, for the sake of the prestige of the leader, a military conflict with St. Sauc had to be concluded.

#

According to the official Oakleigh statement.

At that time, St. Sock, a power in the southeast of the Western Continent, took advantage of the fact that the coalition forces were fighting on the Western Front and tried to infiltrate its forces into the middle of the continent.

The Archduke of Oakley immediately returned from the Western Front and led his army to Saint Saur to attack head-on, crushing Saint Saur's army in the fortress complex on the Chriss Peninsula. (In the end, it was also unable to drive the St. Sauck army away from the Chriss Peninsula.) ）

The alliance led by the Grand Duke of Oakley contained St. Sauce's attempts to meddle in the middle of the continent.

After the end of this conflict, the parties negotiated.

Eventually, Oakley acquiesced in the agreement to S. Sauck's occupation of the Chriss Peninsula, and a series of trade treaties were reached with St. Sauce's empire. And St. Saucot, on the other hand, acquiesced to the authority of the Archduke of Oakley, and the garrison on the Chriss Peninsula did not exceed five thousand, and no armored troops were allowed to be stationed.

The Liangzi between Oakley and Saint Sauc was followed at that time, and this contradiction between national interest groups, even the heads of both sides needed to be slowly bridged by skillful diplomacy.

#

Now, however, the new Archduke of Oakley thinks the treaty was wrong.

Of course, this is normal, and the treaty was undefeated and defeated for Oakley back then. If Oakley's national strength is strong, it is indeed possible to grasp the incident back then and talk about it.

But now!

Emperor Saint Thauk glanced at the papers on the table again and asked the three intelligence chiefs to leave.

The Emperor rubbed his temples, then pressed the bell on the table. At the same time, the strong light bulb on the desktop was turned off.

At this time, Chanhong, who was listening to the record in the side hall, pushed open the carved wooden door, walked to the table, and waited for his father to speak.

Emperor Saint Thauk pointed to the information on the desktop and motioned for Canhong to look at it himself. At the same time, he said in a crying and laughing tone: "Look at it, what is a fool? This is a real fool."
