However, the situation is even more serious than he said.

"We're surrounded by the sea on one side, the Grey Dragon Mountains on the other, and the forests on the other, and we can only pass through a few countries that border us by land, but we have always had a very bad relationship, and now is a good time for them to fall into the ground. ”

Of all the nations, only Hitchcock's empire did not say anything, and he abstained. Tolkien's empire, on the other hand, voted against. He doesn't think there should be such a level of conflict with our country, but fortunately there are sea routes between our two countries, and even if we need to detour through other countries' waters, at least we can trade food and minerals between us. ”

The more the old man spoke, the darker his face became, and it seemed that he was about to make a move to flip the table soon.

"Besiege but not besiege ... Self-proclaimed clever Hugo, is this a siege?"

The report turned into ashes in Wang Wei's hands with a bang, and the scattered smoke and dust fell beside Wang Wei, and the surrounding area was quiet, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"Give me three days, you will stay here first, and after three days, I will give you an answer. ”

Wang Wei said.

"Siege?"

Her Majesty muttered softly, and then looked at Wang Wei's father-in-law.

"Well, besieged the city. ”

The Lion Grand Duke said in a deep voice.

"That's right, it's a siege!"

Emperor Hugo said resentfully to the Minister of Military Aircraft beside him.

"I'm going to make Isaac a lonely country! I'm going to let him know that I'm the most powerful person in the world, and I'm going to make people regret and make them fearful. Let their warriors only wear leather armor for battle, wielding rusty weapons in their hands, and only gunpowder can be fired in crystal cannons! I will send them back to when they first founded the country! Then, I will make the whole of Isaac my province, and Lingnan County will be our biggest granary!"

The Emperor's tone in the study was almost fanatical, and he seemed to have been driven mad by some man.

"But your Majesty, won't we cause a backlash from Isaac by doing so? That man knows why we're doing this, what if they're really encouraged by that crazy man and really let the Augur Knights see the light of day? With the legendary Augur Knights' abilities, he is enough to inflict very considerable damage on us, and even if we are well prepared, we are not completely sure to stop the power of the Augur Knights for the time being. ”

The Minister of War and Aircraft considers the issue entirely from a military point of view.

"Knights of Auger?"

The name, which had always been the symbol of the nation's life-seeking charm, did not stop Hugo's Emperor from his madness, and his eyes were red like angry beasts.

"That damn Order of Knights has long been a part of history, I don't know what the hell that little Empress's father was up to, but I do know that now our strategic magic can wipe them all off the map!

The emperor laughed, and laughed horribly.

"They won't have a chance, that man he thinks he has everything under control, but he will never have a chance, he will know what a serious mistake he has made, this mistake will make him disappear from this world with his country!"

Wang Wei first soaked in his dungeon for two days, and all the management techniques were held in the dungeon for two days. On the third day, Wang Wei rushed directly to the imperial capital and came to the prime minister's mansion.

He said a straight word, and then he returned to Grey Dragon Castle with the Prime Minister's handwritten letter to him. When everyone saw him again, Wang Wei, whose face was covered with stubble, slammed a letter on the table.

"Now let's talk about it, I have a plan, a long-term plan, and this plan is about the site and the protection fee. ”

Wang Wei said.

"I don't really understand. ”

The Empress didn't quite understand the terms "territory" and "protection fee", which had become a lingua franca.

"You'll understand when you look back. ”

Wang Wei now asks the empress not to seek much understanding.

"How much time do we have now?"

Wang Wei asked his father-in-law. Daddy is in charge of the whole negotiation, and the recent progress of the situation is under his control, and only he can give an accurate timetable.

"This is just an initial instrument, and we have no doubt that those countries will implement these things on their own, which means that we have no buffer time. The ore merchants in the country and some of the merchants who do the import and export trade are in disarray, they are the most vulnerable people, although they have blocked the trade in armaments and materials, and the general commerce is not restricted, but now the problem is that the trade routes between us have been blocked. We can't get our goods out, we can't get our goods in, and we're squeezing these countless merchants at both ends of the border, trying to wait for us to solve this crisis, but from now on, we won't have anything better to do for a while. ”

The Grand Duke said.

In other words, if the problem of merchants is not solved as soon as possible, then this problem is very likely to cause a storm in the city caused by the merchants who are not there, and will eventually seriously affect the people's morale. ”

The Empress added.

"Shall we go by water?"

Wang Wei asked.

"Waterways?"

The empress and the grand duke were in the eye at the same time.

"Naturally, the waterways are possible, although the countries bordering us have closed their borders, but the rest of the countries cannot do so, since we can transport goods by water, and some large trades can also be transported directly to the Tolkien Empire. As an empire with a long history, Tolkien's empire had very developed transportation routes and extremely prosperous commercial trade, and the costs incurred may not be much different from before. ”

Luna, who was the Empress's helper, said immediately.

"Well, Your Majesty, I need you to start doing a few things at once, the first is to get all the merchants waiting at the border to come back, tell them that you have found a new trade route, to stabilize their mood, and then I need to know what the situation of the goods will be if they do go by sea, and how much burden they will need to carry to meet their needs. ”

Wang Wei said to the empress.

The little empress immediately nodded in agreement, and Tina, who had just become empress not long ago, lacked the ability to deal with emergencies one after another, and he could only rely on these people closest to him.

"We must immediately send envoys to talk to the Tolkien Empire, and at such times we need their help, and I think they will help us too, after all, they will definitely benefit from this. ”

The old man added.

"Rest assured, I have sent an envoy and have met with Aragorn, the Grand Prince of the Tolkien Empire, today, who has agreed to help us establish a new trade route. ”

Luna said with a smile.

"It's worthy of my daughter-in-law, and what she thinks about is thoughtful. ”

Wang Wei gave a thumbs up and did not hesitate to praise himself.

"Ahem!"

The old man coughed vigorously twice, and asked a man who didn't know what was busy to turn his attention back to where he should really be diverted.

"Even if you could make a shipping lane, would you use your warship to transport supplies? We simply can't organize enough cargo ships in such a short period of time. And even if we can find it, most of our cargo ships are offshore, and we still can't do anything about ocean-going cargo ships. ”

The question that the Lion Grand Duke thinks about is still relatively comprehensive, even if he is now pouring the power of the country to start construction, and when it can be used for half a year, can he drink the northwest wind at home for half a year?

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to negotiate with each other, and I will prepare these hardware equipment. ”

Wang Wei is confident.

"Well, since you say so, we'll see. ”

The old man knows that his son-in-law will always have some way, no matter what the way, he will definitely not let others suffer.

"Then there's the iron ore import problem that you're worried about, but it's actually the best problem to solve. ”

Wang Wei talked about the most important one.

The inability to trade can be regarded as a closed country, and for the common people in China, as long as domestic demand is increased and the people's living needs are expanded, the danger is not very serious. But ore is such a thing, no matter what kind of ore it is, it is the lifeblood of a country, especially in order to maintain a large army, and the demand for metals is very high. And without ore there is no metal, and as soon as this metal-poor country leaves the ore imports, the supply of metals will immediately be tight, and once it reaches the point of using the national reserves, then things will start to move in the direction of the lead.

"Do you have a solution?"

Archduke Fernando, who has always been in the army, is naturally most worried about this.

"Do you remember my city of sea elves?"

Wang Wei said with a smile.

"In fact, the endless sea is the real world full of wealth and surprises. I discovered this when I went to the world of the Sea Tribe, and the point is that the Sea Tribes themselves didn't seem to realize that those ores could be turned into metal. But I know that when it comes to reserves, any country on the continent is like a pit and a large mine compared to the ocean. ”

Wang Wei threw a stone to his father-in-law.

"It's been picked up from the seabed, in the ocean, mining is much easier than we do on the mainland, I've found at least dozens of large deposits, and the sea tribes are still worried about the uselessness of those things. We can buy these ores at a very low price, and some of the metal is processed into tools for the aquarists. And pay them a certain amount of remuneration, allowing them to go ashore on the coast to buy what they like. ”

Wang Wei said to the old man with frowns.
