Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 157 The Prime Ministers of the Seven Great Powers

Among the three options given by Su Yi, Su Yi's second brother, Su Kai, finally chose the first one. He entered a department under the Prime Minister's Office of the Tang Empire and served as an ordinary low-level official. Ge Sutao chose the second option, entering a factory fully controlled by the royal family of the Tang Empire as the factory manager.

Only Su Yi's eldest brother, Su Rui, gave up the three choices given by Su Yi, and planned to stay in Fushan County of the Liuyun Empire so that he could inherit the title of hereditary baron in the future.

Regarding the choice of his second and third brothers, Su Yi was a little surprised. He originally thought that they would choose 1000 million silver dollars as the start-up capital. You must know that 1000 million silver dollars is quite a fortune. According to the current land price of the Tang Empire, You can even buy hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Su Yi then discussed with his father, Su Mingyuan, and decided to give his three older brothers another 200 million silver dollars each, which can be regarded as a little bit of Su Yi's affection for the three older brothers.

Originally, Su Yi was going to give his father Su Mingyuan a sum of money. After all, Fushan County’s annual fiscal revenue is only about 30 silver dollars. Su Mingyuan’s funds have never been ample, but Su Yi’s proposal was flatly rejected by Su Mingyuan. Su Mingyuan said Now Fushan County's finances can basically reach a balance of income and expenditure, so Su Ming is far from short of money. If there is a day when there is a shortage of money, he will naturally take care of Su Yi.

After Su Yi's father, Su Mingyuan, arrived in Chang'an City, as the enthronement ceremony approached, guests from various countries who were invited to participate in Su Yi's enthronement ceremony also arrived in Chang'an City one after another. The status of the guests here is not low, and many countries have even sent their prime ministers.

On the afternoon of June 3013th, 25 in the Tang Dynasty, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City, Xu Haoming, who was about to become the first prime minister of the Tang Empire, reported to Su Yi: "Marshal, currently dozens of countries around the world The guests who participated in the enthronement ceremony have all arrived in Chang'an City. Among them, there are already 23 prime ministers from various countries, including the Yingluoba Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, the Monia Empire, the Jisk Empire, and the Swiss Empire. The prime ministers of the Irish Empire and the Orenza Empire have come, and several other countries have sent princes."

Su Yi nodded slightly, and then said to He Yunfei, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army of the Great Tang Empire in the Hall of Virtuous Virtue, "The safety of the guests from all over the world must be ensured. How is the preparation for the military parade?"

After Su Yi's enthronement ceremony, there will be a large-scale military parade. In addition to the army of the Tang Empire, some officers and soldiers of the Ziyue Empire Royal Army and Royal Navy will also participate in this military parade.

At this time in the Hall of Virtue, apart from Xu Haoming and He Yunfei, there are three other people here, including Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Cheng Ziwen, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire, and the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire Zhang Qihui, because the enthronement ceremony is coming soon, several high-level military officials have already returned to Chang'an City.

He Yunfei immediately said: "Don't worry, Commander, the safety of the guests from all over the world is currently in charge of the First Guards Infantry Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau. There should be no mistakes. The military parade has also undergone many rehearsals. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, absolutely It will surprise the whole world, but it is a pity that the armored units of the Imperial Army of the Great Tang Empire and the fighters and bombers of the Royal Air Force of the Great Tang Empire cannot participate in this military parade, otherwise the shock to the countries of the world will be even stronger."

Su Yi said with a smile: "The fighters and bombers of the armored force and the air force are the hidden trump cards of our Tang Empire. I plan to give the enemy a super surprise on the battlefield in the future. I can't expose it now."

He Yunfei then hesitated and said: "Commander, before I came to the palace, the Military Intelligence Bureau just reported to me that the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, Shuriq, will host a banquet for Ying Luoba at the Sharad Empire's embassy in Chang'an City tonight." The Prime Minister August of the Empire, the Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire Julian, the Prime Minister of the Monia Empire Tolicka, the Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Rielland Empire Gehrman, and the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire Nikki Fall."

Su Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, "What do the prime ministers of these seven countries want to do together? Didn't Shurik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, invite people from other countries to participate?"

He Yunfei shook his head and said: "The Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, Shulik, only invited the prime ministers of these six countries. As for why, we don't know yet, and because the embassy of the Sharad Empire in Chang'an City did not hire The people of the Tang clan made it impossible for the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau to sneak in to obtain information."

At this time, Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire, frowned and said: "I think the gathering of the prime ministers of these seven countries will definitely not be a good thing, or it will be aimed at our Great Tang Empire and Ziyue Empire. "

On the evening of June 25th, in a meeting room of the Sharad Empire’s embassy in Chang’an City, Shulik, Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, said to the prime ministers of the other six countries with a smile on his face: “Thank you for coming to this dinner , Of course, before the dinner starts, I have some things that I would like to discuss with you all."

Julian, Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, immediately said in a cold voice: "Shulik, if you have anything to say, hurry up, I am here today mainly for dinner."

The relationship between the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire has always been tense, which makes Shulik and Julian almost confront each other every time they meet.

Shulik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, did not care about the attitude of Julian, the Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, and said with a smile: "Presumably all countries have already known the size of the navy and army of the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire that will be established. In fact, it is two two countries, but the navy and army of these two countries are firmly controlled by Su Yi. According to the size of the navy and army controlled by Su Yi, it has already posed a fatal threat to the seven major powers present here, so our Sharad The empire believes that for the benefit of the entire white world, our seven great powers should unite to limit the size of the navy and army of the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire."

The words of Shulik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, made the prime ministers of the other six countries frown, and August, the Prime Minister of the Inaba Empire, curled his lips and said: "Shulik, is your Sharad Empire a little whimsical? , unless there is a war against the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, and the final victory over the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire, it is absolutely impossible for the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire to control the size of their navy and army just by threatening. Restricted! Could it be that your Sharad Empire was unwilling to lose last time and hoped to fight Su Yi's army again?"

The relationship between the British Empire and the Sharad Empire has also been tense in recent years. Although there has been no major conflict between the two countries because there is no border between the two countries, in order to compete for the interests of the sea, the navies of the two countries It can be said that maritime conflicts in China have occurred from time to time.

Tolicka, the Prime Minister of the Monia Empire, said afterwards: "Our Monia Empire will never participate in a meaningless war."

Prime Minister Gehrman of the Rielland Empire followed up and said, "Our Rielland Empire will not join the war against the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire either."

Both the Monia Empire and the Rielan Empire are in the northern continent, and they don't have much conflict of interest with the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire. Of course, they don't want to take chestnuts for the Sharad Empire.

The Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, Maxim and the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Nikifor, showed hesitation on their faces. After all, the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire are a very big threat to their two countries.

Shulik, the Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, was not angry when faced with the irony of August, the Prime Minister of the Yingluoba Empire. Restriction does not necessarily mean a war against the Tang Empire and the Ziyue Empire. As long as our seven countries also join the treaty that limits the size of the navy and army, Su Yi must also agree to join the Datang Empire and the Ziyue Empire .”

Julian, Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, exclaimed immediately: "Shulik, you Sharad Empire are crazy! It is impossible for our Noomi Empire to limit the size of the navy and army!"

Shulik, Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, suddenly sighed and said: "Julian, I know that your Noomi Empire has discovered a gold mine with an astonishing reserve and a silver mine with an astonishing reserve. Now your Noomi Empire Navy The construction of 356 ocean-class super dreadnought battleships and 24 fighter-class battlecruisers with 24mm main guns has already begun, but don't forget that the British Royal Navy has started to build 381 ships with [-]mm main guns at the same time Fortitude-class super dreadnought battleships and [-] ambush-class battlecruisers, presumably your Noomi Imperial Navy will not stop building super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers."

Julian, Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, said without hesitation: "Our Naval Department of the Noomi Empire has designed the Misty-class Super Dreadnought Battleship and the Quick Horse-class Battlecruiser with a 381mm main gun, and according to the plan, we promise The Omi Empire Navy will eventually build 36 Mist-class super dreadnought battleships and 36 Kuaima-class battlecruisers, of which eight Mist-class super dreadnought battleships have already started construction."

The words of Julian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, made the prime ministers of the other six countries gasp, and August, the prime minister of the Inroba Empire, even frowned.

Shulik, Prime Minister of the Sharad Empire, smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, in order to keep up with the expansion of the navies of various countries, our Navy of the Sharad Empire has prepared to simultaneously build 381 loud-class super dreadnought battleships with [-]mm main guns and Eighteen Maple Leaf-class battlecruisers, and a batch of [-]-ton docks are also planned to be built. Perhaps the number of Loudang-class super dreadnought battleships and Maple Leaf-class battlecruisers will be built even more. If this continues, the intense naval armament The competition will definitely bring a very heavy burden to several of our countries, even if there is a golden mountain, it is not enough to consume it like this."
