Scheduling some things out does ease some of the burden, but Evan hasn't been idle.

The fledgling mechanical empire still has a lot of things for him to worry about, such as growing the population. Unlike humans, who are able to reproduce naturally with both sexes, mechanical life forms are incapable of reproduction. As the father of the Automatons, Evan has taken on the task of reproducing the race, creating Mechsappers and Mechwarriors at a ratio of 9:1.

Evan spends ten hours a day doing extremely boring work to add to the account of the Automaton. In addition, he also has to manage some things that the cabinet can't solve, such as the rebellion of the thugs who can't be brought in, the remnants of Norma to make trouble, the ecological transformation of the planet and other trivial matters.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Menes Empire is developing steadily, and everything is going in a good direction.

However, the reaction from the outside world has been very uneven.

At the end of the day, Evan Blitz conquered the Imperative Territory and swallowed five planets in one bite, and the movement of this matter was still too big. And there is a suspicion of trespassing and stealing food, if it weren't for the fact that everyone could not be punished, the Menes Empire would have become the target of everyone, the axis of evil and something like that.

Even so, the Menes Empire has been criticized by major media in turn.

This time, even the officials showed dissatisfaction, believing that the Menes Empire was 'wolf ambition'. Abusing the trust and goodwill of the people of the Federation for profit, and adopting the means of warmongers to expand their power, is simply a cancer of peace!

The Federation was so sensitive because they sensed ambition in a series of actions by Ivan.

first used the feathering policy to annex Norma Star, and then repeated the old trick of annexing the Impossible Zone, and shamelessly even packed the planet and took it away...... is obviously unwilling to be a little brother and wants to be the king!

As the current boss of human civilization, the Kashni Federation has always been self-respecting and cannot tolerate the younger brother who is not under his control. Therefore, after perceiving that this little brother of the Far East seemed to be suspected of becoming bigger, he immediately launched a public opinion offensive.

Fueled by the authorities, the media were no longer satisfied with criticizing the Menes Empire, or even the Ivan himself—the object of their denial was raised to a higher level, not only considering Menes as culturally ignorant and ugly, but also considering Menes as genetically incomplete and degraded people.

At the same time, they also promoted the military alliance of Eton, Noruspar, and Ayr in the Far Eastern Star Domain. Trying to use these three chained dogs to guard the Menes Empire, blocking the influence of the Menes Empire in the Far Eastern Star Domain.

However, apart from encirclement and isolation, the Federation did not adopt too extreme confrontation and did not take the initiative to provoke military conflicts.

In addition to the fact that the main forces of the Federation have not returned, there are two reasons for not engaging in military conflict for the time being:

1. An immortal king who owns a country is terrible, but he has good and bad scruples, he has to take care of his people and stabilize the state power. On the contrary, an immortal king who has no scruples is a nightmare, and no one can stand it just by playing sports warfare and engaging in terrorist attacks.

2. Although the Immortal King is second only to the power of the apostles, his lifespan is very short, and the more active he is, the shorter his life is. Instead of driving the king of Hyperion into a mad dog, it is better to wait for him to die violently.

The Federation's current strategy is simple, isolate you geographically, encircle you militarily, suppress you culturally, and block you technologically. Then wait for the Immortal King to die or seal himself, and then the Menes Empire will turn from a snake to a fat pig to be slaughtered.

......

In the face of overwhelming slander and abuse, Evan was very calm and knew that this was an inevitable counterattack. He has long seen through the essence of the Kashni Federation, which unites human civilization under the banner of reviving the Golden Age, but in fact relies on colonization to grow and develop.

There is also a sense of psychological superiority similar to that of the suzerain, which cannot tolerate disobedient countries in the places that it colonizes. The Menes Empire took advantage of the frenzied expansion of the insect tide, and it must have moved the cake of the Federation, and it was impossible to repair the relationship unless it spit out all the benefits.

Ivan knew that the next blockade and isolation would last for a long time, and he also knew that the empire was about to be infiltrated by the Federation in all directions, and was in danger of overturning at any time.

But he didn't care.

Ivan knew very well that as long as he still had a breath of air, the Menes Empire would not be in chaos.

Because he is different from ordinary immortal kings.

The gap between the apostle and the immortal level is actually the gap between the body.

The apostle-level has an immortal-level soul and can fuse the Divine Source Machine as a body, and the two are combined to be immortal and immortal.

The immortal level only has an immortal soul, but it cannot fuse the divine source machine, so it is easy to die violently if it has a defect. Even the immortal level has its own Divine Source Machine, and it can't beat the Apostle with the Divine Source Machine, which is the gap in the degree of development.

But Evan, the Immortal King, is different, he is special!

Although he has not yet fused with the Divine Source Machine, his body is the highest level of mixed martial arts—an immortal body that carries the power of the universe.

Although it is inferior to the body of the apostle, it is far superior to other immortal kings, so there will be no situation where the apostle is completely powerless to fight back.

This kind of strength gives Evan the confidence to flip the table - if you start a frontal war, you can crush the Menes Empire like crushing an egg, but I can also make your big rear chickens and dogs restless.

It is impossible for this Federation of Information not to know, because his immortal body was cultivated in the presence of the Apostle Casillas.

Because of this, Ivan concluded that the Federation could not force it too far, and would only blockade the Menes Empire politically, militarily, and geographically, and then wait for himself to die violently.

......

However, although Evan is stable, ordinary bureaucrats can't stabilize in the face of the advantage of the federal Taishan.

Since the Federation began to implement a blockade, the bureaucrats who have blocked the gates of the royal court every day and demanded that Ivan give up these planets have not stopped. It was as if the power of the Menes Empire was crumbling, and it was only enough to kneel down and beg the enemy to spare him in order to save a life.

After all, the balance of power between the two sides is too great, and before the war and armed conflict began, many people were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Evan understands their fears, after all, the Federation is such a behemoth, and anyone who is against it will be afraid.

So instead of holding them accountable, he invited these people into the court and entertained them with good wine and meat. Then he used his feelings to understand his reasoning, analyzed the advantages of friend and foe, told them about his dependence, and persuaded them before sending these people out of the court.

Evan knows very well that the more he is in this critical period, the more calm he is.

Because the hundreds of millions of subjects of the empire are watching themselves, if they make a big move at this time, it will only exacerbate their fears. On the contrary, it is necessary to engage in some entertainment activities to spread the relaxed atmosphere to dilute the pressure brought by the Federation.

Upper Lake District, Ptolemaic House.

The curtains were drawn to both sides, and the moonlight shone on the swaying branches outside the window, casting the shadows of the branches and branches swaying with the night breeze. The nocturnal creatures in the courtyard were moving quietly, not with one or two muffled screams, but faintly with the cooing of owls.

In the bright light, Ptolemy lay solemnly at his desk, scribbling on the pages with a pen dipped in ink, and then quickly crossed out.

After some time, he suddenly stood up from his desk, tore off the whole piece of paper and crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Ptolemy collapsed in his chair as if out of strength, his hands scratching at his hair, and soon crumpled his neatly groomed hair into a chicken coop. Finally, the man gritted his teeth and smashed the pen, watching the pitch-black ink slide down his palm, a bitter smile on his face.

Since the news of the Empire's total federal blockade reached the country, he had hardly slept well. As one of the first people in the empire to open his eyes to the world, Ptolemy had conducted in-depth research on the Federation and knew that the strength of that behemoth was extremely terrifying, and he was also a well-deserved overlord of the universe.

With the overlord, can the empire have a good end?

He couldn't imagine...... It is impossible to imagine what kind of crisis the empire will face next, and how the empire will survive the sanctions.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how could you, who are so wise, do such a stupid thing?"

Ptolemy sighed for the first time, and then turned his head stiffly, and looked at the admonition he had thrown into the wastebasket, and his face became whiter and paler.

He wanted to storm the royal court countless times, trying to persuade Evan to abandon the five planets and repair relations with the Federation. But in the end, they all gave up—because from the mouths of those officials who walked out of the court, he knew that His Majesty the Sun King was as strong as iron and would not be shaken by anyone.

"Awaken our king, O God!" Thollem closed his eyes and begged the gods for the first time.

"Oh, have I been asleep all this time?"

At this moment, a familiar and abrupt voice reached his eardrums, causing the man to jump up from his seat in an instant.

Ptolemy followed the sound and found that the ruler of the Menes Empire, the Sun King, who had led the empire out of the trough and possibly led the empire into the abyss, was now standing by the door of the study, smiling and looking at him.

Evan walked into the study calmly, closed the door with his hand, and asked very naturally, "I want to talk to you alone, so I didn't alarm your servants, you won't mind, right?"

"Of course, my majesty!" said Ptolemy hurriedly stroking his chest and saluting.

"I know you must have a grudge against me. ”

Ivan glanced at the wastepaper basket full of paper balls, walked to the bench placed on the wall, and looked at him calmly: "During this time, there have been a lot of people who have complained about me, and I can understand their thoughts. What I want to know is—why do you, as a minister, hide your thoughts in your heart? Are you afraid that I will blame you?"

"It's not. ”

Seeing that he had made all his words clear at the beginning, Ptolemy was unrestrained, looked at Evan's scrutinizing eyes, and said in the most sincere tone:

"In my heart, Your Majesty is a tolerant and benevolent monarch, and will never ask for guilt because of well-intentioned advice. I have not said anything because I know that Your Majesty has his own opinions, and I have the ability to convince me that your claims are reasonable. ”

“......”

Ivan didn't speak, and although he knew that he didn't have malicious intent, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Isn't the meaning of his words to say that he is talking about himself in disguise - clever enough to refuse the persuasion of others, and words enough to cover up his own mistakes!

After a moment of silence, he closed his head slightly in understanding and said with relief:

"It seems that you don't agree with me either...... Today, you and I are not kings and ministers, but friends! I allow you to speak freely, even if it is to scold me. ”

"Your Majesty?" Ptolemy looked at him in astonishment, and then bowed his head silently.

Under the slightly dazzling light, the pair of monarchs and ministers stood and sat one by one, their figures like ice sculptures, frozen in the silent space.

"Since Your Majesty wants me to speak freely, then I will say it!"

At last, the feelings in his heart broke through the taboo, and Ptolemy raised his head sharply and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, under your rule, the national strength of the empire is indeed increasing dramatically, and gratifying changes are taking place every day. What we need to do now is peaceful development, not a gamble! Your annexation of Norma, annexation of the impassable zone, is a gambler's move! However, a gambler cannot win all the time -- you win the game of Norma! This time the gamble, you lose!"

"You're also blaming me for thinking I shouldn't have annexed the unreachable planet...... Should you surrender to the Kashni?" Ivan looked at him with a blank look, his eyes blazing.

"No! I mean you shouldn't act rashly! Annexing five planets in one fell swoop is too outrageous, and has already broken through the bottom line of the Federation!" Ptolemy was now completely open-minded, and argued with reason.

"Why does the annexation of five planets make you feel out of place?"

"The Federals have completely blocked the Empire, haven't they? their national power is a hundred times stronger than the Empire, and we cannot challenge the rules they have set until we have a certain strength!" replied Ptolemy calmly.

"You're scared...... You're afraid that I'll tie the empire to the chariot, and you're afraid that I'll make the empire doomed. Speaking of this, Evan paused and continued in an accentuated tone:

"You are afraid that I have only ambition in my heart, and there is no danger to the empire. ”

"You're right!"

Ptolemy craned his neck, mustered up his last courage, and said loudly: "You are a powerful man unparalleled in the world, even if the empire is destroyed, Your Majesty can exist alone." Therefore, your subordinates are really worried that you will treat the empire as your private property, and go to gamble again and again—if this continues, the great Menes civilization will sooner or later come to an end. ”

"Well said! You say what a lot of people think...... You see me as a tyrant and think that I have only myself in my heart. But I'm not angry, I'm glad you can tell the truth. Evan looked at him calmly, and instead of a smile on his face.
