Chapter 106: Bright Sword, Roar of the Eastern Dragon!
Lionheart Empire, in the palace of Dunlun City above the Star of Britannia, the capital of the empire, Long Xiaotian and Long Xingyun sat on the guest seat, and on the main seat was a fat man who looked smiling, it was the emperor of the Lionheart Empire, Yu Chi Rende.
"Two Sages, please drink tea."
"Good tea, Brother Wei Chi, this tea must be extraordinary."
Long Xiaotian took a sip and said sincerely.
"Haha, Brother Long is really a person who understands tea, my cliff cloud tea, the annual output is probably only about 20 catties."
After the two chatted about some innocuous topics, Long Xingkong couldn't sit still, coughed, and looked at his eldest brother, Long Xiaotian was speechless in his heart, this second brother is good at everything, but his personality is too impulsive, this time he poked out such a big basket, glared at him fiercely, and said unhurriedly,
"Brother Wei Chi, this time our brothers have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time I have something to ask for."
Wei Chi Rende's face turned stern, and he said unhappily:
"Brother Long, do you still need to be so polite in our friendship? Do you still consider me a friend? If there is something to say, just say. โ
"Brother Wei Chi, to tell you the truth, our Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance have never had the intention of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries since the moment they were established, and they have never considered themselves to be an organization capable of censoring other countries."
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused slightly, looked at Wei Chi Rende's expression, and after seeing that the other party did not react, he continued:
"My brother is too reckless in the affairs of the Han and Tang Empires this time, you also know him, straight, what do you have to say, plus the grievances suffered by Zhan Yunxian's nephew a few days ago, he was so angry that he released the remarks that he was going to the Han and Tang Empire to investigate without authorization, this matter made it, hey!"
Unlike Long Xingyun, the eldest brother Long Xiaotian not only cultivates martial arts as a god, but also is more sleek in dealing with people, what he said is reasonable, if Jiang Wei is here, he will secretly admire his acting skills, and he is definitely a surpassing actor.
Yu Chi Rende took a sip of this sweet tea, and after pondering for a while, he said a little overwhelmed:
"Brother Long, the Han and Tang Empire is one of the nine great powers with us, and it is our common responsibility to maintain the peace of the universe, you must know that as soon as this announcement is issued by you, everyone in the nine great countries is in danger, after all, your two alliances are too strong. My ancestors also summoned me for questioning. โ
Hearing this, Long Xiaotian was slightly moved, the ancestor in the other party's mouth was the veteran Martial Saint Wei Chi Shenfeng, who was already 280 years old this year, two hundred years earlier than the eighty-year-old Long Xiaotian and entered the Martial Saint Realm, even if he saw Yu Chi Shenfeng, he could only perform the gift of the juniors, he was unfathomable in his cultivation, he had long since stopped asking about the world, and concentrated on cultivation, which is why the Lionheart Empire has always been one level higher than other great powers, and the advanced space fortress technology and the veteran sages who can rank in the top three in the world are the pillars of the sky for them.
Long Xiaotian secretly scolded in his heart for two sentences of old immortality, why haven't you hung up yet, and when your skills decline after you are 300 years old, it will definitely make you look good, but he had a respectful expression on his face, and said righteously:
"I also ask Brother Wei Chi to tell the Great Sage that our Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance abide by their duties, and there is absolutely no transgression, and our existence is only to fight the rampant interstellar bandits and provide protection for the major shipping routes."
"Of course, we are old friends, please rest assured, Brother Long, I naturally know who you are. Naturally, I told my ancestor like this, and his old man also told me to walk around with Brother Long more and not to listen to other people's provocations. โ
Yu Chi Rende said with a very serious expression, it looked very credible, but Long Xiaotian knew that this old boy must not have any good intentions.
"Then I don't know what Brother Wei Chi thinks? You know, this time it is about the face of our Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance, although this time we are at fault first, but this Han and Tang Empire is not very face-saving, and directly announced a military exercise in the Western Star Domain, their Western Star Domain is only less than two days away from us, and there is no affection for our two alliances. โ
"Don't worry, Brother Long, I will personally call Andrea in a moment and strongly condemn it."
Wei Chi Rende seemed to have a strong look, but Long Xiaotian felt a burst of contempt in his heart, condemn your sister, condemn what do you need so many troops to do if it is useful? This product is not able to work at all, and it is really reluctant that the child can't trap the wolf.
Of course, Long Xiaotian looked grateful, and he said sincerely:
"Brother Wei Chi, thank you so much. However, you see that several small countries with which you have security treaties are also near the western star field of the Han and Tang Empires, I'm afraid that if something goes wrong! โ
"Hey, Brother Long, I would also like to send a fleet over to protect them, but you know, I'm almost too poor to open the pot."
Nima, you have the money to repair the garden and you don't have the money to send the army, you TMD cheat father, Long Xiaotian scolded wildly in his heart, but his face also looked like he agreed,
"The Lionheart Empire is doing its best to maintain the peace of the universe, and our Martial Alliance has seen this, and after we discussed with the Mecha Knight Alliance, we jointly decided to rebate 20% of the toll fees of the Lionheart Empire caravan in the area under our control next year."
Hearing this, Wei Chi Rende's eyes lit up, but he didn't rush to make a statement, as if he was thinking, he gently knocked on the table, although the Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance only occupy one planet, they control the actual safety of many important transportation hubs, so every year the caravans of the major countries have to pay tolls, think about the huge caravans of various countries to know how much money they make, twenty percent, is definitely an astronomical amount.
"Brother Long, if only one of us comes forward, things will be a little difficult to handle, and I am afraid that the Lionheart Empire will become the target of public criticism. After all, the nine powers have a contract and cannot interfere in any normal military activities in other countries. โ
Hearing Wei Chi Rende's words, Long Xiaotian frowned, but he smiled indifferently, obviously he already had a way to deal with it,
"Brother Wei Chi, please rest assured, the Liszt Paladin has already agreed with his in-laws."
Liszt's in-laws are the Speaker of the United States of Montas, Li Boming, who is also an ambitious man who has been in politics for 50 years, and has perseverance to run the United States of Montas Parliament as if it were his own backyard.
Yu Chi Rende's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he didn't let go.
"That's good, but I'm afraid it's a bit tricky. I have to discuss it with the ministers of the DPRK and China......"
Old fox, Long Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he said,
"Brother Wei Chi, don't worry, we are old friends, we won't treat you badly, I will cultivate more useful talents for you."
He accentuated his tone on the last sentence, and after hearing this, Wei Chi Rende showed a satisfied look, laughed, and said briskly,
"Brother Long is really a friend, don't worry, my friend's business is my business. We will make an announcement today, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, I will send a fleet over to support you. โ
At this moment, both of them smiled, they had achieved their respective goals, and after Wei Chi Rende's enthusiasm was held, the two Long Xiaotian brothers got up and said goodbye after lunch.
On the spaceship, Long Xingyun asked indignantly:
"Big brother, this dead fat man has a big appetite. Twenty percent of the toll rebate, how much does it cost, and you still have to use the power of our Martial Arts Alliance to train talents for him? โ
Long Xiaotian smiled slightly, looked at his impulsive younger brother, and said slowly,
"Second brother, it's a good thing that he has an appetite, but it's a troublesome thing to have no appetite."
"Big brother, you have cultivated so many talents for him, in case the strength of the Lionheart Empire surpasses us one day, then?"
"Don't worry, there won't be that day, your eldest brother and I are not stupid. Maybe those talents are his or mine, after all, I cultivated them. โ
Long Xiaotian looked at the beautiful scenery below and showed a mysterious smile.
At 3:30 p.m., the Lionheart Empire and the United States of Montas jointly issued an announcement condemning the Han and Tang Empire's military exercises in the western star field, believing that under the premise of advocating cosmic peace, this move was inappropriate and unwise, and worried about the security of the surrounding countries of the Han and Tang Empires.
At the same time, the Lionheart Empire sent the Empire's Seventh Fleet to the vicinity of the small countries in the western star field of the Han and Tang Dynasties with which it had signed a security treaty, and held military exercises for joint defense with it, and the eight latest Sunset-class space fortresses formed a huge battleship that attracted the attention of the whole universe.
"Hmph, it's too much of a deception."
Andrea Yu shook her hand, and suddenly the information turned into ashes, and she punched on the big pillar of the garden pavilion, and suddenly, the steel pillar made of fine iron was instantly pierced through a fist-sized hole, as if hit with a laser cannon, Li Yuanfang's eyelids jumped, and she secretly thought in her heart, I am afraid that the world would not have imagined that Her Majesty the Empress, who appeared in front of everyone in the image of Wenzhi, was a real martial arts master.
At this time, Andrea was a little upset, the alliance between the Lionheart Empire and the United States of Montas made her hesitate a little, at this moment, the only thing that could move her a trace of tranquility was only her beloved daughter, when she walked to Avril's room, she heard the debate between Avril and Jiang Wei in the room, she couldn't help but stop and listened with bated breath.
"Jiang Wei, you don't understand, the international situation is very unfavorable to us now, you look at the joint announcement of the United States of Montas and the Lionheart Empire. Although the announcement of the Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance this time was very unwise, my mother's decision to hold a military exercise was a bit extreme. โ
"Then what to do with it, my princess, as you see it seeing."
"We can use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate, at least we can reduce the toll that our caravan pays to the Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance every year."
Hearing Avril's words, Andrea felt that there was indeed some truth, her daughter had grown up and had her own opinions, but she was too political, and sure enough, Jiang Wei did not disappoint her,
"You're acting like a politician, don't you think it's too aggrieved?"
"The best way to resolve disputes between countries is to resolve them through political means."
Jiang Wei shook his head slowly and said seriously,
"Have you ever thought about the feelings of the people at home?"
"As long as we can fight for the interests of the empire, then the people in the country will naturally support us, besides, the ancient sage cloud, how big or small, repay grievances."
"You're not stupid to read, are you? Little darling. โ
He affectionately touched the forehead of the beautiful woman in front of him.
"you, I'm not stupid, I'm just imitating the sour tone of the group of poor people in the court."
"If we swallow this incident, then I am afraid that the people in China will really be disappointed in us, you know, they expect a brave and decisive leader, not a politician who values everything in peace. Also, don't forget the previous emperor who was overthrown by your Dongfang family ten thousand years ago, and his famous words lost the hearts of the entire empire. โ
"I'm not that stupid." Avril gave him a blank look.
Jiang Wei touched her hair and continued,
"Compared with Western culture, Eastern culture has always been known for its modesty and perseverance, but it is because we are too modest and stoic that people will bully us."
"But you must know that our empire cannot compete with the two major alliances, as well as the Lionheart Empire and the United States of Montas. No matter in terms of overall strength and national strength, we cannot catch up with these two countries. In case they impose a blockade on us......"
"Avril, do you think these two countries will go to war with us?"
"Naturally not. It's not in their interest. I'm afraid that your remarks are naked belligerence and militarism in the eyes of those so-called peace lovers, and they will come up with some great truth about belligerence and death to refute it. โ
Jiang Wei waved his hand and said angrily:
"I sue you, this group of people who shout about the peace of the universe all day long are just deceiving themselves under the guise of peace, and they are just a group of sanctimonious traitors. As for peace, the people of our Han and Tang empires love peace, but for the sake of peace, they have never and never been afraid to resist wars of aggression. The Han and Tang empires could not tolerate foreign aggression, nor could they allow other countries to ignore their wanton aggression against their neighbors. โ
"But the strength is too bad after all."
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him who was a little worried, Jiang Wei smiled slightly, and patiently explained her,
"I don't know much about politics, but I think my future mother-in-law dares to let out words to hold military exercises, then she must have her own hole cards, besides, even if we are not as strong as them, we can't blindly endure it, in this way, we will lose the hearts of the entire empire, and we will not be able to unite the strength of the whole country."
After pouring a few sips of herbal tea, his sonorous voice sounded again,
"I don't know what others think, I'm just a martial artist, let's talk about it from the perspective of martial arts, when the swordsmen of the ancient cold weapon era met their opponents in a narrow way, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the best swordsman in the world, they knew that they were invincible, and they had to show their swords. Even if he fell under the sword of his opponent, he was still defeated, and only a coward would not dare to draw his sword.
It turns out that a country with fine traditions often has the soil to cultivate heroes. The emergence of heroes or outstanding talents is often in the form of a collective, not an individual. The reason is simple, they are influenced by the same tradition. Developed the same character and temperament.
Every country has its own traditions. What is the tradition? Tradition is a character, a temperament! This tradition and character are determined by the character and temperament of the country's leaders. He injected soul into the country. From now on, no matter how many years pass away and personnel change, the soul of this country will always remain. The army trained by such a country, even if the enemy is outnumbered, even if it is under siege, but they dare to show their swords and dare to fight to the last man. This kind of army, pointed by the sword, is invincible. โ
After listening to Jiang Wei's words, the corners of Andrea's mouth swept up a graceful arc, interesting little guy, I used to think you were a general, but I didn't expect that you still have the temperament of this kind of commander, bright sword, yes, it seems that it is necessary to let those bastards listen to the earth-shattering roar of the awakening of this long-sleeping oriental dragon.
Three days later, the Han and Tang Empires held a huge military exercise in the western star field of the empire, on the same day, after seeing Andrea's figure, all the media reporters involved were dumbfounded, you must know that the emperor's military parade in peacetime is generally wearing a dragon robe, but today's Andrea, dressed in a military uniform, holding the Nine Dragons red gold sword that symbolizes the highest military power of the Han and Tang Dynasties, shocked the eyes of all reporters, this image definitely has a profound political meaning, all reporters thought in their hearts, is there going to be a war? Why is she so confident in her heart? Aren't you afraid of the joint sanctions of the United States of Montas and the Lionheart Empire?
The answer was soon revealed, when the twenty Red Dragon-level space fortresses slowly appeared, the entire universe trembled, when did the Han and Tang Empires have the strength to independently develop space fortresses? Suddenly, there was an uproar in the universe, and the Martial Alliance, the Mecha Alliance, and the other eight great powers clearly realized that this long-sleeping dragon had awakened and revealed its sharp claws to the world.
The United States of Montas and the Lionheart Empire, which vainly tried to rely on advanced Spacefortress technology to militarily deter the Han and Tang Empires, were even more shocked, and the Battlestar could be equipped with ship-based destruction Miรจ-class laser cannons, which could provide supplies for the huge space fleet, just like a moving planetary base, and it was the same as a Martial Saint-level powerhouse in the entire universe.
You must know that there are no dozens of saint-level masters with ancient bloodlines like the Lost Lands among the human race, because only this kind of ancient giant beast can destroy a space fortress head-on, and the human martial saint who can confront the space fortress head-on is probably only a few hands. The United States of Montas and the Lionheart Empire have been able to dominate the universe for nearly 10,000 years, relying on advanced Battlestar research and development technology, and all the power plants, fire control devices, and control systems of the existing Battlestar are all developed by their two powers, and they have always been in an absolute monopoly position in terms of technology.
Andrea pulled out her Nine Dragons Sword, where the Empress's sword blade pointed, the light shining from the ruining laser cannon was tantamount to the scythe of death, and the huge number of targets instantly turned into ashes, and the Martial Alliance and the Mecha Knight Alliance were shocked. The Han and Tang Empires conducted such a large-scale military exercise in the Western Star Domain, which was only two days away from them, undoubtedly slapped them in the face, as if to say to them, aren't you a cow, the master is here, there is a kind of you to try. Although the two alliances were extremely angry, they did not lose their minds, I am afraid that all their martial saints will attack together, and they may be able to destroy these twenty Red Dragon-level space fortresses with their lives, but who dares to guarantee that the Han and Tang Empires only have these twenty ships? What if there is still one?
The fleets of the United States of Montas and the Lionheart Empire sailed back to their own countries at a rapid pace, and sure enough, they did not dare to confront this awakened dragon of the East head-on, which was not advisable from a strategic point of view and from the level of national interests. The Han and Tang Empires rose like the rising sun in the East.
After the military parade, Prime Minister Li Taibai accepted an interview with media reporters, at which he firmly said:
"The people of the Han and Tang Empires loved peace, but for the sake of peace, they never and never feared to resist wars of aggression. The Han and Tang empires could not tolerate foreign aggression, nor could they allow other countries to ignore their wanton aggression against their neighbors. โ
Suddenly, the firecrackers in the Han and Tang Empires were set off, people took to the streets together, countless people burst into tears, desperately shouting for the rise of their motherland, and let out bursts of happy roars, the provocation of small countries, the blockade of powerful countries, etc., they clearly realized that from now on, there is a strong country behind them to protect them, and they have been suppressed for too long.
