Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 149 Not afraid of threats
After the bloody suppression of civilians of the Tang nationality who participated in demonstrations broke out in the Heile country, the four countries of the Tang nationality in the Eastern Continent quickly responded, but the Liuyun Empire and the Tianxing Empire only raised serious protests, while The soon-to-be-established Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire threatened the Heile Kingdom with war.

On the morning of March 3013th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Kai City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, the Emperor Edgro said to the Prime Minister Julian in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, regarding the affairs of the Hele Kingdom, you What do you think?"

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although our Noomi Empire has many interests in the Hele Kingdom, the actions of the Hele Kingdom this time are a bit too unwise. Su Yi, who is about to establish the Tang Empire, However, the slogan of safeguarding the interests of the entire Tang clan has been used all the time, and what the Heile country is doing now is tantamount to directly giving that Su Yi an excuse to send troops."

Emperor Edgrew frowned slightly, "Prime Minister, the merchants of our Noomi Empire have invested tens of billions of Nuo Yuan in Hele Country, and can earn more than one billion Nuo Yuan in profits every year. Almost all of Hele's millions of troops were trained by our Noomi Royal Army. Hele is almost equivalent to a subsidiary country of our Noomi Empire, and has signed a protection agreement with our Noomi Empire , Now that something happened in the Hele country, our Noomi Empire will let it go, so what will the other countries that are closely related to our Noomi Empire think!"

As soon as Prime Minister Julian heard what Emperor Edgrew said, he knew that Emperor Edgrew was about to intervene in the affairs of Heile, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

In fact, Prime Minister Julian was very aware of the personal relationship between Emperor Edglu and Emperor Yu Yuan of the Heile Kingdom. According to Emperor Edglu's character, he would never turn his back on the Heile Kingdom.

However, in the eyes of Prime Minister Julian, the Noomi Empire's intervention in the massacre of the civilians of the Tang nationality by the army of the Heile country at this time is completely irritating. country issued a threat of war.

You must know that the soon-to-be-established Datang Empire and Ziyue Empire together already have the world's largest navy and the world's largest army. Prime Minister Julian does not want the Noomi Empire to Just staged a full martial arts fight with the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, and it was just for a "little brother" who caused trouble.

Prime Minister Julian thought about it for a while, and decided to persuade Emperor Edgrew again, "Your Majesty, the Hele Kingdom is indeed very important to our Noomi Empire, but this time the Hele Kingdom has provoked a giant. The Ziyue Empire controlled by Su Yi and the soon-to-be-established Datang Empire each have tens of millions of well-equipped army troops. Once Su Yi is really determined to use troops against the Heile Kingdom, he can even easily use hundreds of troops. Thousands of troops."

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "In addition, the Hele country is located inland, and it is thousands of miles away from our Noomi Empire. Even if our Noomi Empire wants to intervene in the Hele country, it is still too far away. If you go by sea, your majesty don't Forget, the size of the navy under Su Yi's command has even surpassed that of the Yingluoba Navy."

After a moment of silence, Emperor Edgrew said: "Prime Minister, no matter what, our Noomi Empire must stand firmly on the side of the Hele Kingdom this time, otherwise it will chill people's hearts, but there is something the Prime Minister said. After all, the Hele Country is too far away from our Noomi Empire, and the Hele Country is an inland country. Even if our Noomi Empire sends troops to the Hele Country, we can only enter the Hele Country by sea. to the north of Ubai, and then through Ubai into the country of Hele."

Wubei Kingdom is located in the east of the former Cangyu Empire and north of Heile Kingdom. It covers an area of ​​about 460 million square kilometers. It has nine provinces and a population of about 9000 million, of which 6000 million are Tang people and 3000 million are Heng people. Wan, like the other three grassland countries Heile, Lanshui, and Dongyao, although the Tang people in Wubei account for the majority, the Heng people are in the dominant position.

In the entire Eastern Continent, the Noomi Empire has only two countries that are very closely related. Apart from the Hele Country, the other is the Ube Country. The Omi Empire, and the Wubei Kingdom was opened by the Noomi Empire more than ten years ago with ships and sharp guns.

Emperor Edgrew then continued to speak to Prime Minister Julian: "First send a note to the soon-to-be-established Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, and tell that Su Yi that the Hele Kingdom is the protectorate of our Noomi Empire. Invading the country of Hele is equivalent to being an enemy of our Noomi Empire, and immediately dispatched a full infantry regiment, rushed to the country of Wubei by sea, and then entered the country of Hele through Wubei country."

Prime Minister Julian said with some concern: "Your Majesty, once the troops of the Great Tang Empire send troops to Hele, will our Noomi Empire really want to declare war with the Great Tang Empire and even the Ziyue Empire?"

Emperor Edgrew sighed and said: "Let's take one step at a time! In fact, it doesn't matter even if we declare war. We and the soon-to-be-established Datang Empire are still separated by the Sharad Empire. Large-scale wars cannot be fought. .”

Prime Minister Julian immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't forget the Navy of the Tang Empire and the Navy of the Ziyue Empire under Su Yi's command. If the two sides are in a state of war, Su Yi can definitely send a naval fleet to attack the northern coastal cities of our Noomi Empire. At present, the capital ships of our Noomi Royal Navy are only 24 super dreadnought battleships, 24 dreadnought battleships, 36 pre-dreadnought battleships and [-] ironclad battleships. The strength of only one Datang Empire navy far exceeds ours The entire Noomi Royal Navy."

Emperor Edgar nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment and said: "Then try to control and not declare war, but if that Su Yi overestimates himself, I won't back down in any way! In addition, I will come up with a sum of money." Funds to support Heile country to expand its army, under the guidance of our Noomi Royal Army, Hele country has established a large-scale reserve force."

On the morning of March [-]th, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City, Su Yi held two notes from the Noomi Empire to the Ziyue Empire and the Datang Empire in his hand, and asked He Yunfei and Xu Haoming in a cold voice: " What do you think of the note sent by the Noomi Empire?"

He Yunfei immediately said: "Commander, the Noomi Empire has no territorial borders with our Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, and the Noomi Empire's garrison in Hele is only a mere infantry division of about 5 people. The subordinates believe that our Su family army does not need to pay attention to the threat of the Noomi Empire. If the Hele country does not agree to our conditions, our Su family army should send troops according to the original plan. The entire Hele country has an area of ​​about 600 million square kilometers, and other Among the population of 6000 million, more than [-] million people belong to the Tang family, and our Su family army can take this opportunity to expand the territory of the Great Tang Empire."

Xu Haoming thought for a while and said, "Commander, Heile Kingdom is rich in mineral resources. If Heile Kingdom can be incorporated into the Tang Empire, our Tang Empire's fiscal revenue will increase by almost [-] to [-] million silver dollars every year. Even more."

Su Yi kneaded the two notes of the Noomi Empire into a ball with his hands, and then threw them on the ground casually, "Don't say that the Noomi Empire does not border the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, even if it is a border If the Heile Kingdom dares to refuse the conditions of our Su Family Army, then there is no need for the Heile Kingdom to exist."

Emperor Yu Yuan of Heile Kingdom, after receiving the telegram from Noomi Empire Emperor Edgru, excitedly said to Li Xu, Chief Minister of Hele Kingdom, "Great! The Noomi Empire is willing to Fully support our country of Heile, an infantry regiment of the Noomi Royal Army is about to rush to the territory of our country of Heile, and my friend Edgrew is willing to fully support the expansion of the army of our country of Heile, and help us The Heile Kingdom will solve the funds for military expansion, so I don't need to be afraid of that Su Yi's threat!"

Chief Minister Li Xu looked at the excited Emperor Yu Yuan, and said with a little fear: "Your Majesty, after all, the Noomi Empire is far away from our country of Hele, and the Noomi Empire is also the same as the soon-to-be-established Datang Empire. There is the Ziyue Empire, and there is no border line, once our Hele country and the Su family army really fight, the Noomi Empire will not provide much support to our Hele country."

Emperor Yu Yuan waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem. The powerful background of the Noomi Empire is not comparable to that upstart Su Yi. With the full support of the Noomi Empire, even if the Su family's army dared to invade our Helle China, I also have the confidence to lead the 6000 million clansmen to drive the Su family army out of their homeland!"

Chief Minister Li Xu smiled wryly. It seems that the war between the Heile Kingdom and the Su Family Army is inevitable, but Li Xu is not as confident in the Noomi Empire as Emperor Yu Yuan is, "Your Majesty, are you going to send How far has the Helle Royal Army expanded?"

Emperor Yu Yuan said without hesitation: "Try to turn all the reserve troops into active duty. In addition, we must organize as many men as possible from the Xiang clan between the ages of 16 and 60 to form garrison troops. There are hundreds of millions of Tang people, we must guard against domestic Tang people cooperating with the Su family army."

Chief Minister Li Xu showed a shocked expression, "Your Majesty, we have more than 800 million Helle Royal Army reserves!"

"I think 800 million people are too small. Among the 6000 million tribesmen, there are at least 16 million men between the ages of 60 and 2000. If possible, I hope that the size of the Helle Royal Army can be expanded to 2000 million!"
