Today's Karlondan is very lively.

Not only Karlondan, but every place inhabited by inhabitants in the Western Continent rejoiced because of this day.

Because, the long war, finally ended.

The seven-month Battle of the Sea of Oegis finally ended with the Oca Empire and the Northern Rowandan Empire.

Seeing the cheers of the residents on the road and the excitement of joining the procession, Raj felt ridiculous.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a luxury hotel, looking at the crowded figures on the Champs-Ésés, he was like a god overlooking the world at this moment.

Of course, he didn't have the divine power of the gods, just a small amount of money.

Although Governor Lamia was on guard outside his house every day, and every day he would come with all kinds of little maids to please him.

However, the enemy, after all, is still the enemy.

"Rejoice, you'll soon run out of cheers. ”

Raj smiled, as if the laughing man had not yet realized what kind of predicament he was facing.

The other day, a beard lover came to the door, and Raj thought that something was wrong, but the gentleman was actually very interested in his plan.

What made him even more incredulous was that the cunning, perceptive rabbit-like governor of Lamia had not stopped the beard lover at all.

When he asked Raj about his plans, he didn't seem to shy away from it at all.

It's fucking wicked!

Beard lovers are an outlier in the Western Continent that no one wants to provoke, not to mention the huge organization they formed, and the behavior of these people alone is a little unacceptable.

If the Western continent ruled by sects is called a zoo, then beard lovers are definitely the brown bears in the zoo.

It looks honest, cute, and bulky, but in fact, if you start crazy, even those managers will have a lot of headaches.

When such a person appeared in front of Raj, he was naturally timid and uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, this person actually became interested in Raj's plan, and promised to help the black blood to jointly conquer the royal family of the Foggy Moon Empire!

It's just perfect!

Being able to pull this beard enthusiast on board is definitely the perfect guarantee for Raj's plans!

Although I don't know what this gentleman has in mind, since he is interested, then Raj can give him a very rich reward!

A few days ago, Raj contacted his subordinates, if nothing else, the current Oga Empire should be in a hurry!

......

The Oga Empire, as the most powerful empire in the Western Continent, has always been the hub of the Western Continent.

Whether in the course of war or in the process of peacetime development, the Oga Empire is definitely the most powerful force in the Western Continent.

It's just that this force seems to have weakened a lot lately.

"Damn merchants of Sicilys! What do they want!"

A big curly-haired man with a curly beard slammed the table, shaking the copywriters on the table and dropping several copies.

His secretary hurriedly picked up the things scattered on the ground, and then stepped back and stood beside him, looking afraid.

"The price of food is rising, the price of meat is rising, and even the cost of fucking carriages and horses is going up!"

"In just half a month, this group of damn businessmen has doubled the price!"

The big man couldn't sit still, stood up and circled around the office frantically.

"What do they want to do? Do they want to ignore the sect's restrictions!"

"Three orders and five repetitions! No price gouging in wartime, these damn bunch of fat pigs covered in oil, are they so good at scraping the ground!"

Dahan yelled at the secretary, and the secretary took out a document in fear, which was a notice from the sect.

"Aha! That's good! We won the battle, and the sect just changed its face!"

"What are you talking about, we have consumed too much money, and the military department is actually responsible for this matter!"

"Fuck shit!"

Dahan directly threw the document on the ground and gave him two kicks fiercely.

Just when the big man was angry, Admiral Bell pushed open the door and walked in, and when he saw Admiral Bell, the big man tidied up his appearance a little.

The admiral walked over and saluted the big man.

"Unfortunately, dear marshal, the barbarians of the Southern Continent are not prepared to pay for their military expenses. ”

Bad news! Another bad news!

This bad news after another made this marshal of the Oga Empire's military department feel an incomparably headache!

Originally, the end of the war should be a good thing to celebrate, but now this situation has nothing to do with good things.

The Sicilian country, as the big granary and pasture of the Western continent, actually suffered a food crisis before the end of the war!

The original granary actually ran out of grain.

This is unheard of and unseen, and the Sicilian country on the coast of the Eugeis Sea has the most perfect soil for growing crops.

The crops here can reach three crops a year! In addition to the fact that the temperature drops in winter and the crops cannot be produced, the spring season is supposed to be a harvest season!

However, they have doubled the price of grain on the western continent on the pretext of food shortage!

"I heard that the damn bastards of Sicilies have raised the price of food?"

"General Bell, you're well informed. ”

In front of a general, as a marshal, he still has the most basic ability to control his emotions, so he didn't get angry.

"When I negotiated with the barbarians of the Southern Continent again, I talked to the bishop of the sect about this. ”

He said that it seemed that there was something big about the Tianzhu country, and a huge amount of grain and grass was purchased in the Sicilian country. ”

"Not only the damned god of war in the north of Tianzhu, but even the new regime in the south of Tianzhu has purchased a large amount of grain and grass. ”

Hearing this, Mr. Marshal's brow tightened.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the Tianzhu Kingdom can't bear the loneliness and is ready to attack that behemoth in the east?"

The marshal asked, and Admiral Bell shook his head.

"The bishop said that it seems that the new king of Tianzhu intends to occupy a certain amount of power in Zhonghai, and is marching towards the Cameroon Strait in Zhonghai. ”

"The Strait of Cameroon?"

The marshal frowned, walked to the wall, and looked at the map of the world drawn by the navigator Nadias.

Except for the Oving Continent, which is marked as a fog, other places, wherever humans can set foot, are very clearly marked.

"Hell, if they occupy the Cameroon Strait, they will control an important road!"

"A major road connecting the eastern and southern continents!

"Otherwise, you will have to face endless whirlpools and storms, this newly appointed Forrest Gump actually has such a mind!"

The marshal analyzed that this move is very important, this kind of move can not only stabilize the situation within the Tianzhu Kingdom, but also deter the Eastern Continent in disguise.

If the Cloud Empire has no ideas, it is fine, if he has the idea of doing business with the Southern Continent, then he will definitely be subject to the constraints of the Tianzhu Kingdom.

At that time, Tianzhu Kingdom will have a certain right to speak, this is a clear card, and it is a very good card!

"Not only that, but in the Western continent, there is also a group of unknown non-governmental organizations that lend usury everywhere. ”

"The mayors of the cities in the south of the empire are already in debt, and if they don't allocate any more money, they will go bankrupt. ”

Admiral Bell said, and the marshal took a deep breath, as if to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Why didn't anyone mention this to me in advance?"

"During the war, the local quartermaster deliberately threatened the poor mayors in order to get more out of his pocket. ”

"Send those damned quartermasters to the gallows!"

"Unfortunately, by the time the peace treaty was signed, those damned quartermasters had already gotten into the carriage to Callondan, and it was estimated that they were now in the Misty Moon Empire. ”

Although the marshal was not angry, the green tendons on his forehead were about to burst out.

"There's any bad news, let's talk about it together!"

Admiral Bell stopped talking.

"Say it, say it! I can bear it! This matter cannot be borne by our military headquarters alone!"

"Those damn goddamn sticks must bear some responsibility! They were the ones who instigated the war in the first place!"

"They must, and must be, held accountable!"

The marshal was right, these gods must have to bear a lot of responsibility.

Not only do they like to instigate war, but they also like to bully people with some damn oracle.

This group of troublemakers refers to the Nordic Federation of Hydelenna as uncivilized primitives, and the nobles of the Misty Moon Empire as infidels.

The nomads of the Red Eagle Federation are called "breeding pigs on horseback", and the people of the southern continent are called heretical barbarians.

This group of damned, racist godheads is disgusting.

On the contrary, the Pope has supreme power and supreme voice.

This kind of power, even if it brings together all the strong men of all countries, cannot be countered......

"Calendula Bank in Callondan is nervous about debt collection and they should make our biggest creditor. ”

"Diaz's Far Traveler Bank is next to the rest of the Commonwealth Bank of Mabel off the coast. ”

"This ...... Do we owe so much foreign debt?"

The marshal asked with a frown, and Admiral Bell sighed.

"The president of the Glory Bank of the Empire committed suicide yesterday, saying that our monetary system has collapsed and that it will not be able to make waves for ten years. ”

Is there so much foreign debt that the presidents of the Glory Bank of the Oga Empire have collapsed?

So......

"Report this matter directly to the sect! If the sect doesn't care, Lao Tzu will go to the north tomorrow!"

"I've heard that those rebels in Hedrenza are recruiting generals. ”

The marshal looked thoughtfully at Admiral Bell, and the look in his eyes made the flesh on his face twitch a few times.

Damn it...... If the marshal had joined the rebels, then the Oga Empire would have been notorious.

"I ...... I'll respond to the denomination......"

Mishu said timidly, this is a very thin young man, although he is very quick to do things, but he is still too timid.

"Wait, my dear Admiral Bell, the grown-ups of those banks don't starve, and neither do we. ”

"But the people will starve to death. ”

Admiral Bell said with a frown.

"So, it depends on what the sect does, whether to let them die or ......"

The marshal said helplessly, this is indeed a difficult choice.

Moreover, the choice is not in the hands of these military generals.

......

Arosane, the capital of the Oga Empire, was still a source of joy after the end of the war, and after the Cult announced the oracle of Carnival Day, the inhabitants took to the streets to cheer and cheer.

It is still under the glory of the sect, and it is whitewashed by the divine light.

In Arossa, churches are still brightly lit, streets are still bustling with traffic, and food is still available.

In the cathedral of the inner city, the six bishops sat around the round table, and their faces did not show the smile they should have.

These six bishops govern each of the six regions of the Western Continent, and their bishopric names are also the names of these six regions.

"Bishop Siri, the problem is in your jurisdiction, so let me tell you about the current situation. ”

The bishop sitting in the center said, with his very thick hair, and a pair of burning eyes in the center of the hair that was collected like a work of art.

This man is obviously a beard lover.

"Praise be to the great God, the kingdom of Sicilies is now in chaos!"

The Bishop of Siri shook his head, indicating that he could not do anything.

"Not only the grain orders from the Tianzhu Kingdom, but also the nomadic herders in the north also purchased a large amount of grain. ”

"The payment for these grains, neither of them paid directly, but instead mortgaged a batch of arms!"

Bishop Siri's words made several other bishops frown.

If it was still in the time of war, this munition could have solved the urgent need, but now......

Didn't these arms just fall into your hands?

"Now the nobles of Sicilies don't want to take over this mess and withdraw all the money directly from the bank, so the Tulip Bank of Sicilies is also ......"

"Oh...... God, this is a disaster. ”

One of the bishops began to chant the name of the god, shaking his head with difficulty.

"This situation has already begun to affect the eastern and northern regions of the Oga Empire, and thousands of people are without food every day. ”

The bearded bishop said that the current situation is indeed not optimistic.

"Ahem, that's not the hardest part!"

Bishop Dia cleared his throat.

"Now all the countries in the Western continent except for the North Austrian Federation of Hedrenza have no money in their banks. ”

"If you transfer the treasury to make up for the shortfall, then it will be a lot of expenses......

These bishops summed it up, if the treasury of various countries was really transferred to make up for the deficit of the banks, the fiscal deficit would be astronomical!

The Oga Empire is protected by a sect, so there will be no problems, but Sicily, an agricultural country, I am afraid that it will have to go bankrupt directly!

It's funny enough that an empire is facing the crisis of bankruptcy.

"The situation in the east is not optimistic, but the west can still get by. ”

The Cardinal of Karlondan said that Karllondan had not panicked yet.

Bishop Dia of Dias nodded, it was indeed the case, and the west side was peaceful.

"I think it's better to let the Northern Harris Islands come to the East's aid first, and as for Hedrenza, I don't have much hope. ”

Bishop Hyde of the North Austrian Federation of Hedrenza spread his hands and directly shirked his responsibility.

After all, not only does their northern part of the country only produce enough food to digest themselves, but they also have to deal with a bunch of troublesome guys like the rebels.

And those damned, pagans who propagated Ragnarok hiding in the mountains where the Hydrensa and the Red Eagle Federation meet.

These unstable factors give Bishop Hyde a headache when he thinks about it.

"I don't have a problem helping the east, but, on the side of the Foggy Moon Empire, have you thought of a reply?"

Bishop Harry of the Northern Harris Islands asked, this is a more important question.

Those outliers of the Fogty Moon Empire, the guys who claim to be black-blooded, actually want to blackmail them, asking them to cooperate to attack the nobles of the Fogty Moon Empire.

You know, the steam monsters that those nobles now have in their hands are very powerful!

"We'll have to think a little bit about it, after all, we've just finished the war. ”

Bishop Cilic is frightened by war, they will suffer once in a war, and the Sicilian country, which is a big granary, will be very difficult every time it fights.

"No, I think we should say yes to them. ”

Bishop Hyde said that he, who had always shirked his responsibility, had made his position so clear.

"Some people from various countries have gone out to help the black blood people clean up those infidels, you know, the Fog Moon Empire has been plundering everywhere over the years, but it is very rich!"

"They don't have an eight-winged god powerhouse in the country now, so I think we can try it. ”

Everyone thought about Bishop Hyde's suggestion for a moment, although they knew that this guy was fanning the flames and shirking responsibility, but this proposal was indeed correct.

Hedlenza's situation wouldn't be of much help anyway, and in that case, he might as well have caused trouble.

"The Pope told me earlier that the North Sea Branch of the Kraken Society has recently taken action against the Eastern Continent, and if it really wants to fight the Foggy Moon Empire, it can only send another force. ”

"It's just that the most troublesome thing right now is military spending. ”

The bearded Bishop Oga mentions a very important place!

Military spending, military spending, and now the monetary system is at risk of collapse, where will the military spending come from to fight the war?

"Since there is not much pressure on the west, I think we can let the west make up some military expenses, and then, by the way, help the east. ”

Bishop Siri's voice was not loud, but this little abacus was clear.

When these words were spoken, Bishop Karl and Bishop Dia were instantly a little unhappy.

You're obviously licking your face and asking for money!

Although it is indeed difficult, it is too immoral to do so!

"Bishop Xili, his name is not right, his words are not good, don't say that the masses don't buy it, and those dignitaries and royals will not buy it!"

Bishop Karl said with a frown, at this time, one of Bishop Harry's suggestions shocked everyone.

"Do you remember the policy of the Atonement Charm that I proposed back then?"

The policy of the Atonement Charm, indeed!

At that time, it was in the period of expansion of the Fog Moon Empire, and the friction with the Western Continent was quite frequent.

The mighty Northern Harris Islands have resisted valiantly, keeping the damn steam monsters off the coastline.

At this time, they found some atonement charms from the Protestant believers of the Foggy Moon Empire.

"As long as there is sin, then God can forgive him by purchasing an atonement charm. ”

"Although those Protestants are heretics, I have to say that the method they came up with is indeed very interesting!"

"Ten copper plates for one, and whoever buys an atonement charm will be forgiven by God!"

"Those criminals can be released by buying an amulet. ”

"Those who are dignitaries can get a little privilege by buying an atonement charm. ”

"Those royal families, buying indulgence charms in large quantities, can get the blessing of the bishop and even the pope!"

"That's a golden idea!"

The bishops' discussions became more and more intense, and their eyes shone with golden light!

Once this policy is passed, it will definitely attract a lot of money!

"That's it! I'll go to His Majesty the Pope!"

Bishop Oga made up his mind and walked straight to the center of the cathedral!

The stone statue of God in the Cathedral Square seems to bloom with a golden light, and in the brilliant lights of Arossa, it is like a golden star, illuminating the heart of every bishop.
