Chapter 978: The First Empire!
In the entire conference hall, the birds were silent, and the representatives of various countries~ sat with solemn faces, sitting upright, and all showed the best manners.
As soon as Heinrich entered, he conquered everyone with his powerful iron-blooded aura.
"I always believe that the most precious thing in life is time, and to waste it is to murder life.
Heinrich didn't like to go around in circles, so he went straight in.
Although Heinrich did not elaborate, everyone understood what he meant, and it was a show of hands to vote on whether he was qualified to become the leader of the Western Continent Convention.
"This momentum, tsk!"
The cheap god joked that as the first person in the recognized young generation, the star of the imperial hope of Saint-Gertland, Heinrich no longer disdained to play any spectacle, he would do whatever he thought.
"No...... Isn't it an anonymous vote?"
One of the delegates, under the pressure of diplomats from the overlord state of Britannia, had to bite his tongue several times because of nervousness and fear.
Many of the wall-to-wall grass that stood in line with several sides actually had this idea, at least anonymously, and they did not have to worry about being found out if they voted against it.
"Does it work?"
Heinrich's faint three words stunned the audience, then shocked, and then silent.
The people who were able to be sent by the king to attend the important summit of the northern powers were all scheming politicians, so they naturally understood Heinrich's words.
Any so-called fair and fair voting election is just a means to deceive the people, and the final competition is strength, not to mention Heinrich, who is any representative of the nine empires, who wants to know what everyone voted. It's all easy, so voting anonymously is a complete joke.
"The establishment of the Northern ~ Covenant is of great benefit to the northern countries, and now that the evil gods are revived, the population and wealth of the countries should be used intensively. Put it on people's livelihood, economy, and the research and development of magic technology, etc., instead of using it for war and internal friction!"
Heinrich didn't speak, but what he said casually was lofty and contemplative.
"Why do you have to set your sights on the Western Continent? Although everyone has different nationalities, they are all Western Continents, why don't you go on a plane expedition? To conquer other continents, don't you just want more population, territory, and greater rights? in those planes. You can do whatever you want!"
Yes!
Heinrich's words caused an uproar in the audience, expeditions to other planes? They didn't think about it, they woke up every day, and what they longed for most was to see an extra piece of land on the border, which meant an increase in population and taxes.
Many of the delegates looked gloomy, and they found that Heinrich was indeed worthy of the title of the hope star of the Empire, when their eyes were limited to the acre and third of the land in the western soil. He already has his eyes on continents in other planes.
"But we don't have the technology to do plane shuttles!"
Some people questioned.
"That's why we have to concentrate the wealth and talents of various countries and use them to tackle key problems!"
This time no one spoke. Everyone is not stupid, this means seems to be above board, but behind the scenes, it will also loot the talent and capital reserves of various countries, you know, these two are the foundation of a country. Once lost, there will be no future.
"You are all villains, what you hold is just a sesame seed, but you think that you are getting the world. Look at everyone who passes by around you like a robber, trying to pounce and rob it!"
Looking at this group of delegates with ghosts and different minds, Heinrich was so angry that he was angry, and it was because of these short-sighted guys that the Western Earth Continent had been in chaos.
"Once the North ~ Treaty is established, our Saint-Gertland Empire will open the top ten universities in the empire to member countries, and will open the magic science and technology center to them to share scientific research results!"
The delegates were scolded by Heinrich, and were about to make an excuse, when they heard the latter sentence and straightened up all of a sudden.
"Seriously?"
Representatives of third-rate countries asked with shocked faces.
"It will be clearly marked on the agreement!"
Looking at the large conference hall that suddenly became full of discussions, the corners of Heinrich's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer, human beings are really selfish creatures, and when they see the bait, they will be so eager to fight and want to bite the hook.
"Awesome!"
Homer exclaimed, "This guy is too familiar with human nature, and his political skills are terrifying!"
Only the veteran politicians of the Great Empire would perceive that Heinrich had dominated the course of the conference.
He came up with a deafening opening remarks, a strong raise of hands to vote and the inside story of the vote shocked everyone, followed by another questioning, there is no election manifesto, but it is better than a campaign, and everything he does is so natural and natural.
None of the people present noticed that although they were thinking, they could only think about the direction that Heinrich deliberately induced, and their real thoughts had long been drowned out.
Even if a small number of people retain the ability to think independently, they will quickly assimilate on such a large scale.
Heinrich's final proposal to share magic technology was like a sharp sword, piercing their hearts.
The Saint-Gertland Empire's magic technology is the first in the world, and even other empires covet it, let alone those second- and third-rate countries.
In this world, anything can be weighed on a scale.
Just now, the deputies were worried about the annexation of domestic talent and funds, and they are still worried about it, but in the face of the benefits they are about to get, it will be insignificant.
Once the Northern Alliance is formed, the delegates feel that the king will most likely become an ornament, but what does that have to do with them? These nobles will still hold power, and with the great situation in the country, their power will increase.
"Wait, Heinrich is so cunning, he wants to use the power of the nobility to dismantle the royal power, and then pave the way for his conquest of the north!"
Homer was the first to react, so he was shocked, this is thanks to the fact that it has tens of thousands of years of knowledge and has seen too many intrigues to think of, otherwise it would not be able to accurately grasp the core essence of this northern council.
Heinrich sat at the top and looked at the delegates of these arguments. Shaking his head in boredom, it was a waste of time to fight these miscellaneous fish.
The Western Earth Continent has existed for tens of thousands of years, except for the Eight Great Sacred Coffins who once dominated the world for a short time, the continent has always been a pattern of various countries, and the north has naturally always been like this.
As a child, Heinrich often spent time in the Great Library of the Reich. I have studied the historical texts that are as vast as smoke.
Even if there are many troubles, Heinrich believes that he can do it, but what's the fun of that? After all, the Eight Great Coffins have already done it, and after his own death, maybe after only a few generations, the North will return to this chaotic situation.
"I will settle the disputes of the West in a way that has never been done before, so that they will forever become the inherent territory of Saint-Gerdland!"
Heinrich was undoubtedly a genius, so he formulated the program of the Northern ~ Covenant and expeditions to other planes? He had long wanted to let his troops go to other continents and establish the great cause of the emperor, but that was after unifying the Western Earth Continent.
In practice, this word is nothing more than a bluffing gimmick, and his goal is to sweep through the talents and wealth of other countries and integrate the north under the cloak of kindness. Making Saint-Gertland the First Empire of Western Turkey was the priority.
"If Heinrich succeeds, his achievement. It will surpass the Eight Great Sacred Coffins!"
Listening to Homer's description, even the cheap god couldn't help but marvel and stare at him for several minutes.
"The gap is so big!"
Downton was a little desperate, and he established a free trade zone to make his country's economy better, and he was proud of it for a long time. But compared to Heinrich's plans to influence the future of more than 100 countries, it is still a drop in the bucket!
"This kind of political wisdom and skill requires a lot of experience, don't be discouraged, you will have a chance!"
Homer comforted.
Both the emperor and the nobility belonged to the ruling class. In the face of the common people, they will always be external, but internally, there will also be disagreements, the royal power is strong, and the vassal power is naturally weak, which they don't want to see, so Heinrich puts an opportunity to weaken the royal power and strengthen himself in front of him, how can they not be tempted?
"I agree with Heinrich to be the leader of the North ~ Covenant!"
Someone raised their hand, this is a representative of the Saint-Gertland line.
The envoys watched each other, it was time to take sides, and the sooner they spoke, the greater the trust they would get, and of course, the risks were not small.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, it depends on whether you have enough guts, so after the initial thinking and weighing the pros and cons, you raised your arms one by one.
As more and more arms were raised, the remaining messengers were not calm, and although Heinrich did not look at them, they always felt that the eyes of others were fixed on them, which made them feel like they were on pins and needles.
"It's a lot of pressure!"
There was a magic array in the large conference hall, and the climate was suitable, warm as spring, but the messengers were still in a cold sweat, like a torrential rain.
When the arm was raised more than halfway, the emissaries who hesitated to wait and see felt the pressure like a tsunami, and they wanted to seek allies, but Heinrich's idea was so perfect that even the old politicians of other empires could not find an excuse for sabotage.
"If you don't raise your hands to vote, what do you think?"
The silent Heinrich suddenly spoke, startling the emissary who was watching.
"No, no idea!"
The messenger hurriedly raised his hand and even lowered his head to avoid Heinrich's gaze.
Seeing this scene, the messengers also knew that they could not wait any longer, so they raised their hands one after another.
"What should I do?"
Downton asked, at such a time, it is still up to Lord Homer!
"Follow Sissi, you're afraid of a bird, you're the man who wants to be the Prince of Bavaria!"
Cheap god teases.
"Do you believe that I'm going to tear down your altar right now?"
Downton was depressed.
As Woodford, who was sitting on Heinrich's left side, raised his right hand expressionlessly, so far, except for the representatives of the six empires, only Downton has not yet spoke......n!
