Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Affected by the diplomatic friction from the Austrian Council, the shogunate assembled again.

"I thought about it for three minutes, and I didn't even understand why the council came to make trouble again."

Kant said to Hong San.

Hong San flipped through the documents and frowned: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

At first, the dragon sent the news that the economic and trade department of the Austrian law council was summoning the person in charge of the Broken Isles in Tulaxiaye. , so this matter is characterized as "to be seen".

Then came the contacts at the diplomatic level. The envoy of the council formally delivered greetings from the Starry Court to the shogunate of Kant. The councilors were deeply concerned about a series of events that happened in the Broken Isles, and expressed concern about the meteor shower falling from the sky, because of the long history Lessons from the past have shown that most of the unknown substances from other planes and the universe are gifts from evil spirits.

Therefore, in line with the responsible attitude towards Far Harbor, Goethe, and even the entire continent, the Council hopes that Kant can explain to the countries in the mainland and submit samples of the falling objects from the sky for the Council to judge whether it is harmful or not, and make a decision according to the situation. Subsequent processing - such as destruction, storage or utilization.

Tina didn't pay any attention to the council's rhetoric. After all, Kant and the council had been grumbling for a long time. The first time they had a grudge was the Dragon Mission incident. .

"Your Excellency, please convey my gratitude to the Starry Sky Court. The Council has guarded the peace and stability of the mainland for many years, and everyone is grateful."

At that time, Princess Goethe said with a smile: "But whether my fiancé is responsible for Goethe and Far Harbor, Goethe's subjects have their own judgment in their hearts, so there is no need to define it by the council. As for whether the falling objects from the sky are harmful, he must also We have our own opinions, and besides, we will invite scholars and experts from the Dragon Clan and Dusk Moon to make joint observations and judgments, so we don’t have to worry about the council.”

"However, Far Harbor has always treated the whole world with the concept of openness and sharing. We respect knowledge and we advocate wisdom. If the experts and scholars of the Austrian Law Council are also interested in Kant's spoils, please send an application to the Department of Truth, we welcome The top scholars of Tulaxiaye came to Far Harbor to contribute their wisdom and play their due historical role in the civilization process of the whole world."

Appropriate toughness and hostility are necessary.

After all, it was very unpleasant because of the Blue Fleet incident before, and now Kant is relying on the power of the sun's forbidden spell to shock the world, and of course he has to speak very loudly.

If they were still smiling, responsive, and polite to the council under such circumstances, the councillors would probably panic, thinking that Kant must be planning some terrible conspiracy in private.

Be tough on them, and they will be at ease.

- cheap bones.

With a gun and a stick, the envoy of the council blushed and walked away.

But this time, the messenger of the cradle of magic and arcane did not let out any harsh words.

They have restrained all arrogance.

Maybe times have really changed.

The absolute superiority in academic and technical aspects that the Austrian Law Council is proud of and surpasses the current world, as well as the absolute authority in the transcendent field, no longer exist.

The envoy of the council was also not taken by Tina, and it was also an event "waiting for the follow-up".

In the view of the shogunate, under the deterrence of the forbidden spell, under the circumstance that "the dragons and elves have entered the field", the arrogant Arcane Council had to accept the fact of failure.

They have to pay a considerable admission fee, sign many unequal treaties, and send the best experts and scholars to the Far Harbor to participate in the research work on the matter of Ilan-Tair, and they have to send the best scholars , work for Yuangang, share the precious research results with Yuangang unconditionally, and also spend a lot of money to import these three legendary substances from Yuangang for domestic development and manufacturing.

The two departments, Abundance and Truth, have already embarked on export plans.

I don't want money, I want people, I want technology, and I want materials.

Technology transfer, equipment export, personnel hiring... Effortlessly plucking wool from countries.

This idea originated from the meeting held when the four ministries of the shogunate were established. At the meeting, Kant made a secret report and instructions, that is, the far port should rely on the advantages of technology, economy, ideas and other advantages to expand the trade surplus, continuously **** blood to the entire continent, and earn money. Take their wealth, acquire their wisdom and industry, attract their talents, and defend this free trade by force.

The Austrian Council was listed as the next major competitor and potential war target.

In the eyes of the chief officials of the shogunate, the council has become a lamb to be slaughtered.

— However, just at noon today, the Ministry of Peace issued a warning.

It is detected that the Azure Fleet is moving towards the Broken Sea.

startled.

When it comes to force, this is no longer the shogunate's own judgment and decision-making. Kant was urgently invited back, and relevant reports and intelligence began to be collected and gathered. Everyone was surprised to find that the attitude of the Austrian Law Council was extremely tough, and even had Signs of use of force.

…Why.

As tyrannical as a big forest, in the face of Du Yuguang's atomic bomb warning, he could only withdraw his troops from Iran in disgrace, and only dared to speak out after he developed his own nuclear weapons.

How can this council be so arrogant?

Kant looked around his shogunate.

He spread his hands and said, "Don't the council know that I know kung fu? Have they always been so brave?"

"It's not a question of bravery, it's a question of motivation." Hong San thought for a while and replied, "From the previous incident of the Blue Fleet, we can see that the council has always been concerned about His Highness's Forbidden Curse deterrence, and has always maintained a certain degree of deterrence. The restraint, but not the hands and feet, is still a certain level of threatening behavior and tough behavior ... but this time is different."

He paused and continued: "They took a tough attitude in the Azure Fleet incident because a main fleet is of great significance. Losing the Azure Fleet means that the Council will be severely damaged by sea power, and they will lose their power projection to the Western Seas. , the losses caused by it are incalculable, so even if they want to offend His Highness, they will try their best to save the fleet."

"And this time is different."

"This time, at least we don't know yet, why they are so tough."

Hearing this, Tina said softly: "But this reason must be important enough for the Austrian Council to risk the deterrence of the forbidden curse and have a hostile conflict with us at this time."

Kant thought for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense, mainly because they are in a hurry."

He said: "I set off such a big firework, the emperor and the great speaker must be extremely jealous and want to kill me and then hurry up, but even if they want to kill me and deal with me, they have to find a way to solve the threat of the forbidden curse first. Things, at least there must be a plan and means of resistance... They have to solve this problem before they dare to deal with me, and this must not be a problem that can be solved in a few days."

The crowd nodded.

"Then, they are in such a hurry to do it, in my opinion, there are two possibilities."

The chief officials showed a gesture of listening intently.

"First."

Kant glanced at everyone and said lightly: "They are the dogs of the Star Palace, at least part of the high-level, just like the island owner of the Broken Islands."

"Dogs are illogical in doing things. The only logic is what the master tells them to do, so they don't think about gains and losses. They don't care about the serious consequences of this, nor do they care about wars and councils in the world. Being beaten to nothing, this is just the master's task."

Speaking of this, the metal face present suddenly let out a very light smirk.

Kant glared at her.

The meeting room was silent.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"This..." Leona only knew what the Star Palace was in the past two days, she murmured, "It's unlikely, right?"

"Why is it impossible." Kant said slowly, "If we don't say it, who in this world will know that the pioneers and rulers of the Broken Islands, which control the commercial and trade hub of the Western Seas and flow with wealth and dreams, are generations of generations. A person who worships the Star Palace and causes chaos and evil in the mortal world?"

He looked into everyone's eyes: "The Star Palace is huge, overlooking the mortal world from the clouds. Are their chess pieces and arrangements only the Broken Isles? If the Broken Isles were secretly manipulated by the Star Palace, how could the empire and the council be known? There is not even a shadow of the Star Palace inside the Dusk Moon Dynasty?"

No one spoke.

I just felt a chill in my heart.

They are different from Kant. They are all natives of the other world. From childhood to adulthood, they have long known the power of these three major powers. The empire is the co-owner of human beings, the council is at the helm of the path of Austrian law, and the elves are the hegemony of the world and the power of the world. , if these superpowers have the shadow vines of the star palace attached to them...

Kant looked at the silent people and smiled to himself.

Still too little.

- We earthlings have been arranging conspiracy theories, saying that the US government is controlled by aliens, etc., for at least dozens of years. Now you tell me that Ah Chuan was promoted by some evil force that fears that the world will not be chaotic. , I wouldn't find it strange.

"This is unlikely, at least, the influence of the star palace is not that serious."

Dong Tianming, who had not spoken all the time, spoke slowly.

"If the Council has been corrupted by the Star Palace, then during the Battle of the Broken Isles, the Azure Fleet will join forces with the deep sea monsters... They didn't do this, and the Council didn't take advantage of the situation, which means that the Star Palace has less control over the Council. Strong, and if not so strong..."

Mr. Dong said: "The dispatch of the Blue Fleet this time must not be the result of Star Palace's forcible advancement. If you want to persuade the parliamentarians to agree to dispatch troops, there must be a plausible motive."

Kant thought for a moment, understood, nodded and said, "You are right."

"But His Highness's statement also has some truth, and it must be vigilant."

Dong Tianming's voice became deep, and he said quietly: "This old man is a past person. The erosion and image of the Star Palace on the mortal world is beyond our imagination."

"Especially after the Battle of the Broken Isles, Star Palace suffered such a big loss and was afraid of His Highness's forbidden spell, and would not come to the mortal world easily, but they would use their usual old tricks to stir up mortal wars and let the mortal The races of the world are killing each other and fighting each other, and at this time, the chess pieces they previously placed in the mortal countries will play their due role... Maybe the reason for the next war is this."

He said solemnly, "Your Highness, please look into it."

"I've already thought about this issue. The trial against the owner of the Broken Isles is still going on. We will extract everything we want to know from that old man."

Kant said lightly: "The Inquisition is also setting up a side branch to search for and hunt down the star palace lackeys who are hidden in the mortal world and occupy high positions. This war has already begun."

A deep hatred flashed in Dong Tianming's eyes.

He cupped his hands and said: "The old minister has several students who are good at this way, and some servants and servants. Please join the court to eliminate these mortal rebels."

Kant hesitated and glanced at Horus: "The premise is that they pass the test."

Dong Tianming bowed and said, "That's what they were born for."

"So, back to the original topic, what exactly does the council want to do."

Kant touched his chin: "Since the first possibility is not big, then the second possibility - they sent someone to ask about Yilan-Tair's heritage material, and sent the blue fleet to the Broken Sea, and even the news of the dragon family said, They're approaching the head of the Broken Isles at Tulaxiaye..."

Tina whispered: "They are very interested in those legendary substances?"

"This is not a very interesting level. With these three-pronged approach, I'm afraid it will be a clear grab."

Kant smiled: "Three-pronged approach, the feeling they gave me was not 'Hey, something fell from the sky, I'm curious and want to study it', but 'I know what it is, I know it' How should I use them anyway I'm going to get them'...very purposeful."

Hong San suddenly said: "Could it be that they know what that is?"

Kant nodded happily: "The probability is very high, don't forget, after the accident in the blue fleet, they were in a panic, and we figured out some of the situation."

"They secretly sent a submarine to observe it secretly, but it crashed. I'm afraid they ran into the deep-sea behemoth directly, and then they were very bald and got the coordinates of the fleet. Judging from the time when the behemoth came out of the water, the submarine definitely didn't run into it. The giant beast on the way, but found the beast's lair by accident."

"What's in the beast's lair?"

"I guess the council must know."

When Kant said this, he smiled.

"Then there are only two reasons for them to take risks."

"First, based on the background and historical records of the council, they guessed that this giant beast was the destroyer of the Yilan-Tair civilization, and they knew that the strange substances that fell from the sky were the source of power that made Yilan-Tair create the peak era. That's the only way to make them so stunned, desperate, and even want to rob them - I guess it is such a shameless idea to let the Azure Fleet go to the Broken Sea."

"They want to take advantage of the chaos to salvage some legendary substances floating in the sea."

"second…"

Kant's smile grew brighter: "Second, the beast's lair is the ruins of Ilan-Tair, and there are things in it that are far more valuable than the three legendary substances. They want to quietly monopolize them, but they are afraid that I am also searching for giants. The beast's nest, so while doing things on the bright side to attract my attention, while secretly working underwater, making a fortune in silence, and taking the opportunity to monopolize the inheritance of Ilan-Tair."

- This guess is already very close.

Everyone present is a smart person, but no matter how smart people are, they can only make inferences based on the existing information, and can't calculate some unfinished things out of thin air.

So they could think that the wrecked submarine of the council went to the beast's lair, but they couldn't imagine that the Yilan-Tel civilization was still alive, and they picked up the communication equipment on the submarine and got in touch with the council - this kind of coincidence again Coincidence is not something that human intelligence can associate.

They nodded in approval, and Kant's analysis made sense.

Hong San thought about the matter from beginning to end, and there was no logical loophole.

"It's very likely this is the case." He said sternly, "Then what are we going to do next?"

Kant laughed.

Seeing him like this, everyone also smiled, because every time Kant showed such a smile, it meant that someone or an organization was going to encounter something bad.

"They want to act, and we act with him."

The Earthman smiled and said, "The whole process will be filmed, and it will also be made into a movie or documentary. The title of the film is "The Great Speaker's Plan to Settle the World, Losing the Fleet and Running for Nothing".

Tina smiled and said, "Losing the fleet?"

Kant nodded and said: "Yes, I have been in contact with the blue fleet before. They were sent by the councilors to work hard, and they were very resentful. Now they are doing this again. The archipelago must be extremely unhappy when it eats my forbidden spell, and it is a good time to make the alienation tricky. We are lacking talents the most right now, the more the better."

"So, let's do it."

"In terms of foreign affairs, the Ministry of Solidarity continues to quarrel with the council, and it can drag the dragons and elves to quarrel together."

"For the acquisition and reorganization of the overseas assets of the Broken Isles, the Ministry of Wealth has cooperated with Sigoethe to speed up the progress. If the council supports the rogues of the Broken Isles to come out to fight, let the Tribunal do the work."

"When the Blue Fleet comes to the Broken Isles, hand it over to the Navy. A'Fu, I will send your body to the Broken Isles. From now on, you will sit here and reject the Blue Fleet."

Hearing this, Dong Tianming asked: "My lord, what's the matter under water? The council will definitely mobilize submarine equipment to sneak into the beast's lair, we don't know the exact location..."

"No, we'll find out."

Kant looked at Ah Fu who smiled sweetly.

"After we go, turn on the active sonar system on the bow, release the anti-submarine helicopter, drop the coordinates, turn on the radar, and conduct a continuous search for the broken sea area."

Ah Fu saluted: "Understood!"

Horizon-class frigates, of course, also have anti-submarine warfare capabilities.

- This group of idiots in the council is really funny.

There is a poem praised by later generations: the speaker has a clever plan to make the world safe, and he secretly ordered Chen Cang to dig the grave. It is not because the submarine is useless.

PS1: Update…

PS2: I slept more than 8 o'clock last night, but woke up at 1 o'clock at night. When I continued to sleep, I didn't know why my brain was super active. I launched a board game system in my head. I lay in bed until 2 o'clock. , is equivalent to saying that Monopoly played in his head for an hour...

PS3: After regaining my senses, I calmed down and forced myself to sleep until four o’clock. After I was done, I continued to sleep. I shouldn’t have fallen asleep until six o’clock. I've been in a cold sweat, and I'm yawning and my head is dizzy, alas, what happened...
