063: Delos Floating Island

The two regents looked at each other for a moment, and Perdiccas finally spoke slowly: "As far as I know, the remaining funds in the Pera treasury are no longer enough to maintain a month's expenses, what do you mean by convenient allocation of resources, to allocate air to the fleet?"

As soon as Perdiccas's words came out, there was a stir in the council hall again. The parliamentarians had heard about the tight financial situation in Pera's treasury for a long time, but they never expected that it would reach such a point where it would not be enough to sustain a month's expenses!

The deputy regent, however, was not in a hurry, he smiled and replied in a timely manner: "Actually, it is not surprising that the alliance army has been defeated in successive battles under the command of the base camp, resulting in Pera being surrounded on three sides, and the only sea passage is often blocked by enemy superior fleets. Supplies and money could not be transported from all over the country, and the war expenses were huge, so the treasury was naturally empty. ”

"That means you have neither money nor people, and you have no ability to take over the floating fleet!

Melagros didn't care about this, he smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness is wrong to think so, the treasury is without money, but this does not mean that there is no money elsewhere. Supplies from all over the world can't be transported to Pella, but they can be transported somewhere else for temporary storage!"

"You even secretly placed the Alliance Treasury somewhere else?!"

The regent was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted: "Who gave you the right to do this! No one is allowed to change the storage location of the vault without the permission of the emperor and the parliament! You dare to embezzle the assets of the alliance as a tool for your own personal gain, do you want to rebel!"

In the face of such accusations, Melaglos couldn't help but straighten his face and said coldly: "We are indeed doing this without permission, but it is also out of necessity! For the sake of the safety of the alliance's treasury, not for personal gain! It is all thanks to our efforts and responsibilities, now the alliance's funds can be safely stored in the Delos floating island, as long as these money and grain are transported to Pella, all problems will be solved, and the predicament of the Central Fleet will be immediately resolved!"

Listening to Melaculus's words, Perdiccas's face changed again, and the parliamentarians were talking.

Located above the junction of the Sea of Koto and the Sea of Crete, Delos Floating Island was originally the second largest within the Alliance, where the Delian League kept its vault. The terrain of the island is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed a good idea for Melaglos to place the funds and supplies transported from all over the country. However, he colluded with the navy and Athens, and did not take the parliament into account, and in the long run Perdiccas's position would inevitably be challenged, which he could not tolerate.

"May I ask Your Highness the Deputy Regent, how much money is put on Delos?"

Then the Queen Mother Olympias stood up with a swing of her hips, her misty eyes looking at Melagros, chuckling seductively, and there was no displeasure on her face. It's as if you're talking about something that has nothing to do with you.

Cleo and Elrence glanced at each other, unaware of the reason why Olympias, who had been silent, suddenly said this.

Melaculus hurriedly saluted Olympias, and replied with a respectful smile: "Your Royal Highness, we will ask His Excellency Solon, the consul of Athens, to answer this question. ”

The Athenian consul's box was located in the allied district, and the councillors turned their heads again, Solon, dressed in traditional white robes, was already ready, he held a parchment book, and saluted the queen mother and the councilors: "Athens was prepared long before the siege of Pella, and now there are more than 70 billion lites of cash and a large number of other weapons and equipment on Delos! These materials are defended by the Southern Fleet, and together with the island's defense facilities, it can be said that it is impregnable!"

Melagros added with a slight smugness: "Seven tens of billions of lites in cash are enough to support the Alliance's needs for a year's war, and as long as the parliamentarians support my Jihua, they can fight the enemy for a long time until they propose peace talks!"

The councillors were also excited, the abundance of this material was precisely because the struggling coalition army was in dire need, and as long as it reached Pera, the situation could be greatly improved.

The face of the regent, Perdiccas, was gloomy and terrible, and the progress of this meeting was beyond his expectations. Originally, as long as he succeeded in getting the eldest princess to hand over the command of the floating fleet, he could successfully end the discussion, but he didn't expect that Melagolos secretly colluded with the navy and the Athenians, caught himself off guard and led to passivity everywhere. Although Seleucus helped himself save a little face, he was afraid that the fleet would fall into the hands of the other party if he continued like this, and that result was absolutely unacceptable!

But now that Mel'agros had the upper hand, the regent could only control the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "Even if this is the case, so what? No matter where you place the vault, it will still be difficult to break through the blockade and transport it to Pera!"

Melaculus immediately asked rhetorically, "What if I could?"

Looking at the sly smile on the other party's face, Perdiccas, who had a black face and didn't speak, felt a pang in his heart, he had been fooled! Now the regent finally understood that this was clearly the other party's trick, since Melagramus dared to say so, he must have been prepared, and he was led by the nose, it was really hateful!

Seeing the regent's expression of anger, Melagros couldn't help but smile. However, when he opened his mouth and was about to speak, the Queen Mother Olympias suddenly preemptively said: "Since His Royal Highness the Deputy Regent has already prepared, it will be easy to do." I propose that whoever succeeds in transporting funds and equipment from Delos to Pera will have the right to nominate a new commander of the Central Fleet!"

Melagros' smile froze suddenly, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to say such a thing! In his Jihua, no one but himself had the ability to transport the funds back to Pera, and the command of the fleet naturally belonged to him. But Olympias suddenly intervened at this time, and there must be another conspiracy. Melagros wanted to object, but the Queen Mother's words were reasonable, and he couldn't find any excuse for a while.

The regent on the other side had a twinkle in his eyes, and he immediately seconded it: "I agree with the Queen Mother's proposal! In addition, I think that until the supplies are successfully delivered, the Central Fleet will be temporarily in charge of the Grand Princess until there is a new commander!"

Melaculus did not speak, and then his very young and handsome face showed a hideous look, staring at the Olympias, who was in a very good manner, gritting his teeth fiercely, and calculating quickly in his heart......

The noisy Imperial Council finally came to an end, and the councillors passed Olympias's proposal without controversy. The Queen Mother, with a look of triumph, swayed her sexy and charming waist, and left the venue under the gloomy gaze of the deputy regent, Melaculus.

Not long after, Elrens arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom with Cleo, Doshi and others.

The Queen Mother's bedroom is located on the right side of the Europa Palace, where the Imperial Hall is located, and is called the Palazzo African. Although it does not have the grandeur of the Europa Palace, the exquisite and elegant buildings are surrounded by the scent of birds and flowers, and the environment is very peaceful and peaceful.

The bright sunlight of early winter shines through the window and softly shines on the bedroom. In the mood for it, Olympia lazily leaned back on a fluffy chaise longue and slowly sipped her best oriental tea.

After a while, Cleo finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "Queen Mother, what do you mean by what you just said in the Imperial Council?

"That's right, that's exactly what I thought. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and said with a smile: "Melagros thinks he is well prepared to win, while Perdiccas is only concerned with preventing him from threatening his position! Both of these people think that our Ajid family has no one and will not have any effect on them, haha! But they don't know that there are still many people in the army who are still loyal to the royal family. It's best to let them intrigue, and I'm just the fisherman. I guess they're still muttering in their hearts at this moment, what kind of conspiracy do I have!"

Cleo frowned and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

Olympias confidently replied, "Of course, we will get the supplies from Delos back to Pera before they do, and as long as we can do this, they will have no excuse for us to surrender the command of the fleet." When the time comes, we will have money and food in our hands, and the Central Fleet as the backing, and everyone will have to act according to our faces, and the revival of the royal prestige will be just around the corner!"

However, the eldest princess still looked worried: "But the queen mother, now Melaculus will definitely strengthen our precautions, and the amount of supplies on Delos Island is huge, and the Athenians who defend the island are colluding with Melaculus. It's hard for us to sneak supplies back right under their noses!"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "You are right, Delos Island is heavily guarded, 70 billion lites in cash plus all kinds of equipment, such a large amount of materials, it will definitely not work if you want to transport it out secretly." Since we are going to do it, we must do a good job and snatch the supplies from Mel'agros!"
