The top of the Holy Mountain.

"Your Majesty, here's your chance! The Alpha Kingdom fabricated evidence and framed the Korubi Country, if we can stand up and uphold justice, we will definitely be able to teach them a cruel lesson.

Poor Caesar III Wise I actually cultivated a Hutu ghost heir. With such a loser, why worry that the Alpha Kingdom will not decline! ”

Blake said excitedly.

He, the tragic leader of the Knights of Judgment, can be said to be on a par with the Alpha Kingdom. All the tasks related to the Alpha Kingdom were messed up, and if they didn't have a deep foundation, they would have been ousted from power long ago.

The position is barely kept, but the right to speak in the Holy See has plummeted. Being scolded by colleagues, that's commonplace.

There are too many tasks that have been messed up in his hands, and he still wears the hat of "wearing crimes and making meritorious contributions", and he is not tough in his speech.

The anger that had accumulated in his stomach had nowhere to be released, and now he finally grabbed the handle of the Alpha Kingdom, and he really couldn't bear it.

"Idiot!"

"Caesar IV is a lake-muddled ghost, and you Blake aren't very smart. Just thinking about grabbing the handle of the Alpha Kingdom, don't forget that there is also the Hessian Kingdom with them.

If you want to suppress the two kingdoms at the same time, do you really think that we are still at our peak?

Don't be successful in presiding over justice at that time, but you will be disgraced by yourself, then you will lose your adult.

Whether it is fabricating evidence or framing people, the key depends on the attitude of the countries on the mainland.

If everyone is willing to admit it, the fake can also become true; If people don't want to believe it, even the real evidence can become fake!

Wait and see the show, I'm sure: both the kingdoms of Dante and the kingdoms of the South Bank will think that the contents of the note are true, and they are worried that they will not be able to find an entry point to the north.

The heretic of the Franks has been looking for an opportunity to annex the kingdom of Oprus. Someone came out to break the balance, and it was too late for him to be happy.

Yin Libya also has his own petty calculations, and they will at most verbally condemn the joint actions of the Kingdom of Hesse and the Kingdom of Alpha.

Other Terran countries will strongly oppose it, but their opinions are serious?

When you do things, you can't be swayed by your personal emotions. It is our duty to fight heresy, but we must at least weigh the pros and cons before taking action.

The old king of the kingdom of Ruthenia is very old, and the crown prince has a great prejudice against us, and it is not conducive to passing on the glory of the Lord of Dawn to let him inherit the throne.

On the contrary, the second prince is a devout believer, and he has a great affection for us, and it is more beneficial to support him to inherit the throne ......"

Gu Lei's gushing analysis made Blake angry half to death. I wanted to open my mouth to argue, but when the words came to my mouth and I swallowed them back.

The location of the Kingdom of Ruthenia was too important, and their presence directly kept the Holy See out of the peninsula, away from the center of the continent. If you want to restore the glory of the Holy See, you must pull out this nail.

Don't look at Gu Lei's easy words, just support the second prince to succeed to the throne. In practice, it is almost impossible to accomplish this plan.

It seems that it is just a change of heir, but in fact it is shaking the ancient system of succession to the throne and impacting all monarchies.

This kind of behavior that seriously breaks the rules of the game will not only be agreed to by the nobles of the Ruthenian Kingdom, but also strongly opposed by the countries of the mainland.

Even if it was planned for many years and infiltrated into the Kingdom of Ruthenia for many years, it was still a paper plan in the end.

Finally, someone took the lead in breaking the rules of the game, and it was too late for the Holy See to be happy, so how could it continue to uphold the rules?

When it comes to the core strategy of the Holy See, Blake knows that no matter how much he opposes, it is useless, and he can only suffer this loss.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, Captain Blake, who had reoccupied the heights with IQ, immediately added:

"Your Majesty, although the current international situation is what we want, we still need to contain the great enemy of the Alpha Kingdom, and we can't let them easily carve up Korubia.

We already hold a large number of war bonds in the Duchy of Moxi and the Kingdom of Alpha, and as long as we sell them, it will immediately trigger a run.

The Duchy of Moxi, which has the worst finances, will certainly not be able to hold on, and perhaps as soon as the run on the run, they will have to choose to go bankrupt.

Under the chain reaction, the Alpha Kingdom can't hide. The huge debts were pressed down all at once, and no matter how united the nobles in their country were, they couldn't scrape together enough cash for a while.

Destroy the finances of the Alpha Kingdom, even if the Korubia Kingdom is sent to their mouths, they will not be able to eat it! ”

In line with the principle that if you can't be killed, you will be disgusted to death. He was not willing to give up any opportunity to strike at the Alpha Kingdom.

No one objected this time, and it was always a good idea to try it out, regardless of whether the plan could be realized in the end.

"Well, throw all the war bonds in our hands at once, and create panic as much as possible.

Arrange for our people to blend in and guide, and encourage these little nobles to go to the two countries in advance to pay for it.

Plan carefully, and as soon as the operation is complete, wipe out all traces of our involvement, and let no one find out that this matter has anything to do with us! ”

Pius VII said solemnly.

What seems to be an ordinary means of economic attack can cause lethality, but it is not small at all. Not only will the unlucky guy in the Principality of Moxie be implicated, but countless bondholders will also be affected.

If the news leaks out, there will be more people who will be offended.

According to the normal situation, the Alpha Kingdom can fulfill its debts. Once it is run on and defaults, it is 100% default.

After all, the country's credibility has been lost, and even if it continues to fulfill its debts later, it will not be able to recover, so it is better to break the jar and break it, at least it can save a huge amount of money.

Thinking of this, Pius VII frowned. Deep down, he had begun to wonder if it was the right thing to do.

Bankrupting the Alpha Kingdom's finances can have a great political impact, but it also really saves money!

After tossing around, the heavy debt burden that was originally pressing on them was directly unloaded.

No matter how hard you scold, it's useless, no money is no money. Under the run, it is impossible for the Alpha Kingdom to come up with so much cash.

Judging from the current international situation, the initial expectation of secretly promoting the armed debt collection plan has also died at this time.

Pius VII was very worried, and instead of suppressing the Alpha Kingdom, he made it self-defeating and relieved the other party's financial burden.

……

Emerald Palace, looking at the diplomatic documents flying like snowflakes, the corners of Caesar IV's mouth showed a subtle smile.

The above content is all criticized, protested, and condemned. The words were so strong, the tone was so serious, that he was sprayed with blood.

However, of so many condemnation documents, none of them expressed: to send troops to intervene!

Without real action, merely verbal condemnation, Caesar IV had no pressure at all.

"How is the Foreign Ministry talking to the Kingdom of Hesse?"

Caesar IV asked with concern.

At such a big price, how can you not reap enough benefits?

Especially as a new king, Caesar IV, whose foundation is not yet stable, still needs to hand over an answer sheet that satisfies everyone.

What is the prestige of the monarch?

It is not an ethereal promise, nor is it a decisive decision, but it can bring tangible benefits to everyone.

The aristocracy is a group of realists, and only when they bring benefits to everyone can they gain everyone's sincere support.

"Except for some small details that need to be communicated later, in the overall direction, we have already negotiated.

According to the agreement, the Kingdom of Hesse will annex the kingdom of Korubia. As compensation, the Kingdom of Hesse will forgive all our debts to them.

Including the direct debt between the two governments, as well as the war bonds that we sold in Hesse, totaling about 9.93 million gold coins.

As for the debt relationship between us and the Korubi country, it is natural that it will be cleared together.

According to preliminary estimates, the total amount of this part of the debt will not be less than six million gold coins. If you count the old accounts, the numbers are even bigger. ”

The words of Count Francis did not cause a single ripple. Although the country of Korubia is a small country, it has been a vassal of the Alpha Kingdom for a long time in the past.

The boss is fighting in front, how can the younger brother not show it. They don't need to personally bring people to the battlefield to fight, and they always have to support some money and food.

Over time, a huge amount of foreign debt was owed. It's just that this creditor is easy to talk to, and he can delay it and pay it back slowly.

The present kingdom of Korubia is about to become ancient. The creditors are all tossed away, and the debts naturally do not need to be fulfilled.

After just this operation, the total debt of the Alpha Kingdom has dropped by nearly one-sixth from 100 million at its peak.

This method of paying debts is much easier than collecting taxes from the aristocracy.

The only pity is that this operation is a one-time thing. The deduction is still book data, and no one can see the cash.

"Alas!"

After sighing, Caesar IV said helplessly: "That's it, this time it's cheaper Hessian." The follow-up matters, we will not mix.

If we can get our hands on the hundreds of years of accumulation in the country of Korubia, our financial pressure will be greatly reduced. ”

"Your Majesty, the country of Korubia has been inherited for hundreds of years, and even if it is annexed by the Hesse Kingdom, it will not be able to digest it for a while.

Judging from the current situation, Louis Vuitton is not ready to organize a human resistance. This meant that they were to take over the nobility of the Korubian kingdom in their entirety.

These people are hot potatoes.

Without purging these guys, their annexation of Korubia will remain on paper.

Killing these guys will cause turmoil in the aristocratic world. Not to mention the loss of their national reputation, if they expand to the outside world in the future, they will be desperately resisted by everyone. ”

The Chancellor, the Archduke of Newfoundland, tried to persuade him.

It was clear that he had been frightened by Caesar IV's whimsical ideas. lest his own king disregard the actual situation to divide Korubia with the Kingdom of Hesse.

Militarily, there is no problem in doing so. The kings are all rotten, and you can imagine how weak the resistance will be.

However, taking Korubia, things get troublesome. Not only are those nobles difficult to deal with, but the internal distribution of the kingdom is also difficult to handle.

Pulling the domestic nobles to divide it together, the meat is obviously not enough. Moreover, such an area with unstable borders that has just been annexed is not suitable for splitting.

If the royal family eats alone, the big nobles in the country will definitely make a fuss. If you don't get the throne of Caesar IV, you will be impacted.

Against this backdrop, the best option is to sell Korubia in exchange for a sum of cash to pay off the kingdom's debts.

"It's not that troublesome, they all chose to annex Korubia, where do the Hesse people care about what they eat.

There is a first time to frame this kind of thing, and there will be countless times. As long as the Hessians are willing, are they afraid that they will not find the opportunity to fabricate the accusations?

Look, the nobles of Korubia will soon be out of luck.

When the toss is almost over, the old fellow of Alexander V will come out again and pretend to be a good man, announcing the pardon of these unfortunate bastards and the restoration of their status.

Of course, by that time, the nobles of the Korubian country were almost dead. The few who survived couldn't make any big waves. ”

As soon as Caesar IV finished speaking, he realized that the eyes of the crowd were not right for him. The conscience of heaven and earth, he is just deducing the next actions of the Hessian Kingdom, and he is definitely not preparing to do so.

However, at such times, it seems that there is no point in explaining again. Everyone's temperament for him, the king, was not hopeful at all.

After all, such insidious and vicious methods are not something that normal people can come up with.

"Your Majesty, since you have insight into the next plan of the Hessian Kingdom, then apportionment with the Hessians and let them increase the money!

The hundreds of years of accumulation in the country of Korubia, if all of them were looted, would be more than just a small amount of money.

And not to mention the land, serfs, castles...... With so many industries, even if we only take some of them, we can sell tens of millions of gold coins.

The kingdom now needs to populate the northern provinces, and if it can divide the population into the hundreds of thousands, it will definitely accelerate the progress of this development.

If they refuse to give money, we will send troops to rob them. With the professional quality of the kingdom's army, it will definitely be much more than them. ”

Archduke Ephiero said unceremoniously.

Originally, he, the Minister of War, was resolutely opposed to framing Korubia, but now that he sees so many benefits, his position is inevitably shaken.

If he could reap enough of the benefits, not only would the kingdom's financial pressure be greatly reduced, but Caesar IV would also be able to establish prestige in the eyes of the domestic aristocracy.

It is difficult to say the pros and cons of exchanging the international image of the kingdom for the monarch's internal prestige, but for the royal family, it is completely acceptable.

"Your Excellency, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is trying to consult with the Hesses on this matter. It's just a matter of sending troops, and it's better not to.

With the current situation of the kingdom's army, even if it grabs more loot, the Ministry of Finance will not be able to share much, and it will not even be enough for military spending. ”

Count Francis hurriedly stopped.

Robbery is all too common in the continent of Aslant. This is the case in almost all foreign wars.

It's a pity that most of the loot grabbed was divided among the noble officers below. Even if there is one more, it will be withheld by the military for various reasons.

In order to make a fortune by robbery, it is necessary to first reorganize the army and instill in them the concept of "everything seized to the public".

This kind of thing, just think about it secretly. It's really operational, and it's not feasible at all. The armies of joint-stock countries are essentially patchwork.
