Uncle B of the pirate is invincible

Chapter 447 War Preparation (4)

In the palace of King Bomansen 'Birminren', a meeting to decide the fate of Nulandin Island is going on.

"I object!"

Regardless of his image, Marshal Sainsbury of the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Boumansen yelled at the Foreign Secretary Russell: "The best time to use troops has passed when you are talking nonsense with those two countries. Half a month, your wrangling It was a waste of half a month! Now Frevans has completely entered a state of full combat readiness. Their current regular army is 1, and it is still increasing at a rate of [-] per day. And we, plus those two , it’s only less than [-]! I think you’re crazy to start a war with this number of people!!”

Marshal Sainsbury has reason to be angry. Frevans, who mobilized across the country, conscripted like crazy. There is also unknown depth. It is rumored that the Chaldean Pirates who have controlled Frevans exist, and rashly launched a war in the He appeared to be suicidal.

The foreign minister who received fierce opposition did not confront the mad marshal head-on, but smiled and saluted King Bumansen IX who was sitting on the throne, and said in an elegant voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has already communicated with Laurent and Gaohu reached a preliminary agreement. After the three companies joined forces to send troops to Frevans to expel the Chaldean Pirates, Frevans must take out all the land except the capital White City and the only port, White Harbor. As a gift to repay the righteous deeds of the Three Kingdoms. The specific distribution method is to take one-third from each of the nearest neighbors. If there is any dispute, the land exchange can be negotiated according to the principle of convenience..."

Speaking of this, the Prime Minister paused, his eyes moved slightly, and he had a panoramic view of everything around him.

King Boumanson IX on the throne looked expressionless, but the excitement in his eyes was actually understood by the foreign minister.

"After all, he's just a brat..." The foreign minister grinned in his heart.

He knew the king too well, who had only been on the throne for three years.A young man in his early twenties, all his sophistication is just a pretense, and his desire to make contributions, surpass his ancestors, and gain the approval of ministers is so strong that it almost becomes an obsession.As long as you throw the bait, you will be hooked without hesitation!
Knowing that the expansion of territory that was thrown out first had already impressed the young king, the foreign minister who won the most important vote turned his attention to Dulu, the prime minister and chancellor of the exchequer.

It's a pity that this old fox in the political circle of Bumansen, who has just passed his 60th birthday, has a face like water, as if everyone owes him millions, and he is obviously not moved by the beautiful blueprint of national expansion.

"Old guy with a vegetarian meal, give up your seat and go home!" the foreign minister cursed in his heart.

In this meeting, what Foreign Secretary Russell hated the most was not Marshal Sainsbury, who shot at him as soon as he came up, but his biggest competitor, Prime Minister Trudeau, who looked on coldly like a hungry wolf.

Russell wanted to pull Dulu down and take a step further, becoming the prime minister who is under one man and over ten thousand people.And Duru knew Russell's purpose better than anyone else, and he only wanted to completely wipe out this most dangerous enemy.The two sides were friendly on the surface, as if they were colleagues with the same heart and mind, but in fact, they both wanted to stab the dagger into each other's heart with their own hands.

It's just that Prime Minister Dulu is the important minister of the former king Boumanson VIII, and he holds great power. Even Boumanson IX can only respect him, and has an absolute advantage in the struggle.Far from him, Russell, a foreign minister who has suddenly gained a high position by relying on his status as a supporter of the new king, can be shaken.

Originally, pulling the other party from the position of prime minister and replacing him would have required Mr. Russell's planning and planning for several years or even more than ten years, but the occurrence of the Frevans incident put a shortcut to the sky in front of him.

As long as the three countries are promoted to jointly send troops, as long as the kingdom gets huge benefits from the process of destroying Frevans, not only Bumansen IX can get rid of the dilemma that the new king has no prestige and power.He, Russell, as the initiator of this gluttonous feast, must have made a further step in the political arena because of his incomparable credit.At that time, the mediocre prime minister will naturally abdicate to let the virtuous, go home to retire, and draw a perfect end to the power struggle between the two sides.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Mr. Russell, the foreign secretary, knew that the greatest resistance to the meeting was not the bluffing Marshal, but the silent Prime Minister.

Russell didn't expect to get the support of the other party. He only had one purpose, which was to completely stimulate the ambition of King Bomanson IX, and make the young new king insist on going his own way to endorse his three kingdoms.As long as the king gives an order, no matter how reluctant the loyal marshal is, he will go out conscientiously for the benefit of the country.At that time, it will be meaningless whether the Prime Minister agrees or opposes it.

"It's better to oppose it, the more intense the better..." The foreign minister thought maliciously.

A prime minister who opposes the expedition is naturally wrong after winning the war, and wants to make room for the heroes.As for the failure of the war or something, the foreign secretary never thought about it.

With great malice, the Minister of Foreign Affairs continued to say to the king: "Your Majesty, in addition to the agreement on the remuneration for sending troops to Frevans, I also reached an agreement with Laurent and Gaohu on platinum and lead trade protection. The agreement stipulates that In order to correct the platinum-lead trade that is obviously not conducive to the future of Nulanding, after the territorial division is completed, the four countries will establish a unified platinum-lead trade committee to fully lead the development of platinum-lead and change the current situation where the market price is far lower than the actual value of platinum-lead. Fully protect this god-given treasure of Nulandin Island."

"Oh, the joint development of platinum lead by the four countries?! This is a great thing! The people of Frevans sold the most precious wealth of Nulandin Island at a low price, which has long made people feel sad. It's just that the ancient kings couldn't bear the friendship and peace of the four countries to be destroyed. Only then did they silently endure the stupidity and greed of the Frevans royal family. Now that the Frevans royal family has degenerated to the point where they can't even protect the country, it is not against the wishes of the former kings if our country comes forward to clean up the mess. Okay, you do Well done, Russell, you have lived up to my trust!"

The temptation of platinum lead was too great. As soon as the Minister of Foreign Affairs finished speaking, Bomansen IX couldn't pretend to be the old achievements, and couldn't wait to jump out to stand for him.

"Hahahaha, what an honest young man!" The Foreign Secretary laughed heartily.He still had a lot of preparations left unused, and the king got right into the mix and set the tone for the meeting.

"Mr. Russell, may I ask how the leadership of this trade committee is allocated?" Just when the foreign minister was satisfied, the prime minister who had been watching from the sidelines spoke.

"Here we come!" Russell cheered up instantly, smiled and bowed slightly to the expressionless Prime Minister, and replied in an orderly manner: "Your Excellency, according to the agreement, the rights and interests of the four countries in the committee are distributed as 4:2.5:2.5 : 1, China accounted for 4, Laurent and Gaohu were 2.5, and Frevans was 1. All decisions are made by voting according to the ratio of equity; all income is distributed once a year according to the ratio of equity.” Said Here, the foreign minister smiled triumphantly: "Lorent and Gaohu agreed that in order to repay the most outstanding contribution made by Bu Mansen to the common interests of the three countries in the past century, they would support the platinum and lead proceeds in the committee to be deposited in the Burundi before the annual distribution. In a special account at the First Manson Bank!"

"Boom!" The words of the foreign minister detonated the audience.

How huge is the annual income of platinum and lead? Although Bumansen does not know the specific figure, he probably understands it.That is a huge fortune in the billions.Not to mention the largest portion of the wealth that Frevans monopolizes now, he can also enjoy a year of interest income, which is like a pie in the sky.

"Your Majesty, I think that I should immediately cooperate with Laurent and Gaohu to send troops to Frevans to drive out the pirates!"

"I also think it's not too late!"

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate! This is the only chance in a hundred years!"

"My minister agrees!"

"..."

The ministers who were watching like sculptures just now, fearing that things will change, rushed forward to persuade them.

Of course there is a hurry, the money has entered the account of the First Bank, and it is not a matter of winking for these powerful people to get some interest-free loans.What a benefit that is!
"You...you are messing around!" Marshal Sainsbury's handsome beard was raised.

"Your Majesty, I think it is urgent to send troops to help Frevans, and we should make a quick decision!" Finally, the most important Prime Minister spoke.

"Damn old fox, you are really cunning!" The good mood of the foreign minister who was "supported by all the ministers" disappeared [-]% in an instant because of the prime minister's statement.

Bumansen IX's tender face was flushed, he tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and announced in a slightly neutral voice: "I have made up my mind to fulfill the duty of Nulandin's guardian, and send troops to Frevans, Expel the Chaldean Pirates!"

"Sir, obey!"

Headed by the still expressionless prime minister and the distressed marshal, Bumansen's important ministers, for the first time, unified and surrendered to the young man on the throne.
