Chapter 485: There is nothing to be done

Winter goes to spring.

Now that spring has arrived, the warmer weather has become more and more suitable for war.

Both Vega and the kingdom are speculating that the Empire may use the City of Dragons as a springboard to officially start the path of conquering the kingdom in late spring, so the kingdom has sent several letters asking Vega to fulfill its promise and march on the Empire.

Vega certainly wasn't prepared to be untrustworthy this time.

But in order to wage war against other countries, it is necessary to stabilize the internal situation and unite the whole country.

As long as he marries Xiya and becomes the prince of the Holy Dynasty, then his position will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will want to shake his position in righteousness, he is truly orthodox. His orders will also be unconditionally trusted and supported by the people.

So in Vega's plan.

A month later, he will marry Xiya, and after the wedding, he will take advantage of the domestic momentum to launch the Nuolan Empire.

This time, it will be a battle for revenge.

Vega wanted the empire to understand how wrong it was to abandon him again and again.

He, Vega, even if he leaves the empire, can still live safely.

But early this morning, Ilo reported to him a few important thingsβ€”

First, the empire unilaterally banned the import and export trade with the dynasty in many civilian fields by losing 1,000 of its own and killing 800 enemies, so the dynasty lost the empire's largest export market, and domestic economic problems began to appear.

Second, domestic public opinion seems to have been manipulated by people with intentions, and the support rate for the wedding of Vega and Xiya has changed from 37 to 46, and it has changed to 55.

Thirdly, the palace guards have recently captured a large number of assassins, and Vega has personally stabbed three or four in the past few days, and they are undoubtedly the people of the imperial inquisition.

However, the Assassins did not attack Thea.

Vega knew why, because Thea's death would not only not cause the Holy Dynasty to fall apart, but would also unite the whole country and launch an unprecedented revenge against the Empire.

After all, Thea is their faith.

Now that the Empire dares to kill their faith, it is unknown what the mad people will do.

But this set of combination punches really made Vega a little unbearable.

"Through this kind of indiscriminate means, let me postpone the marriage first?"

Vega smiled coldly and ordered to Qi Lis: "Inform Holt Scimitar in the empire, I don't care if he has organized his manpower or not, I need him to start fighting against the imperial inquisition system immediately, and I don't want the inquisition system to have extra energy to assassinate me in half a month." ”

"I'll do it. Lysy departed angrily.

The reason for her anger, of course, was that the Imperial Inquisition System had the audacity to try to take the lives of her most important people, which made Qi Lisi unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

Moreover, although the assassination did not pose any threat to Vega, it could not be left unsolved.

If there is an assassin on the wedding day, then not mentioning the impact on the wedding for the time being, it will directly hit Vega's prestige, making Vega a laughing stock, and the people will also question Vega's ability to protect Thea's safety.

After solving the enemy's riotous tactics, the next step is to guide public opinion.

Vega looked at Mennono: "I will let the army cooperate with you, on the day of the wedding, I don't want to hear any discord, if you don't do this well, you can go back to the kingdom." ”

Menno hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly responded.

If Vega no longer shelters him, he is afraid that he will be killed before he even sets foot in the territory of the kingdom, which makes him secretly determined in his heart that he would rather kill the wrong one than miss it, even if he dies, he must pull a few cushions.

Having solved these two problems, there is now one last economic problem left.

He looked at Iloh and the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "Do you have any high opinions about the trade war of the Empire? To be honest, I am not very good at this kind of 'soft' method, and there is no good way to do it for a while. ”

Iloh looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Although he has been working very hard to learn about this lately, it is a pity that he has a specialization in the arts, and he does not know much about this kind of economic warfare.

Cautiously looking at Vega, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stepped forward.

He trembled and said to Vega: "Report to the Prime Minister, because the empire has restricted the import and export trade of 578 major industries in our country regardless of losses, and raised the tariffs of 1,100 industries, if we do not take measures, I am afraid that many chambers of commerce in China will face bankruptcy, and once these chambers of commerce go bankrupt, it will directly cause large-scale unemployment and indirectly lead to economic depression." ”

What are the consequences of a recession?

When people have no jobs and no economic income, then it causes social unrest. And as soon as the society is in turmoil, then the queen's wedding at this time will not only not get support, but will be scolded.

The empire has a set of combination punches, and it is almost bloody.

Vega understood what was at stake, and continued to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, "Is there no way to solve this problem?

"Report to the Prime Minister. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer began to speak eloquently about his own field of gradual oblivion and fear: "The empire mainly uses economic subsidies to keep these industries alive, so that they can keep the domestic economy running until the day of the trade thaw." ”

"Can't we do the same?"

"Yes, yes, but this is the way to cure the symptoms rather than the root cause. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said with some distress: "Although our economy cannot be compared with the Empire, it is not completely without the strength to fight. The only thing to consider is that we don't know when this kind of money-burning economic war will end, and if you want to wage war against other countries in the future, I'm afraid that the treasury will not be able to spend enough military spending. ”

Vega understood the key.

It turned out that the empire took money out of its own treasury to stabilize the domestic economy, so that the chamber of commerce would not go bankrupt on a large scale, and there would not be too many unemployed civilians, and if no one was unemployed, there would naturally be no social unrest.

Vega could indeed do the same.

However, the empire has always been very stable, except for the northern part of the empire, which was plundered by the kingdom, and the rest of the empire has basically not been affected by the war. And although the Holy Dynasty has always been a wealthy state, even surpassing the empire economically at its peak, it has just been plowed by the kingdom, and most of the treasury is used for post-war reconstruction.

With the current economic strength, this trade war is not impossible to fight.

But once the fight starts, it will be a bottomless pit, and what Vega is afraid of is to put the military funds used for the war into it.

The ultimate goal of the Empire was obviously to make Vega incapable of supporting the kingdom by invading the Empire, and at this moment Vega found that it was possible to decide the victory of a war without soldiers, weapons, and undead.

How can I fix this?

In a completely unfamiliar 'battlefield', Vega was completely helpless for the first time, and it was really possible for him to be trapped in the country if he continued like this.
