This game is too real.

Chapter 830 Xilan's "Last Emperor"

Shortly before the most important festival of the year for the people of Villant, two major events took place in Camgallon Port on the east coast of Borneo.

The first thing is that the head office of King Gallon Bank issued a news, issued a risk warning on the transaction of Xilan currency, restricted related financial instruments and currency exchange channels, and strictly prevented the occurrence of systemic financial risks.

To put it simply, those who speculate in foreign exchange cannot increase their leverage. Private depositors who hold Xilan coins will be persuaded by their account managers to sell them as soon as possible.

At the same time, the trade management department also issued a notice to suspend all export business settled in Xilan currency, while the import business will not be affected.

This incident caused a huge commotion in the high society of King Gallon Port, especially for those who hold a lot of Xilan coins.

As for the vast majority of the working class, it has not been affected in any way.

After all, gallons are anchored in silver coins, not Xilan coins, and the rise and fall of that thing will not affect the lives of local people in a short period of time.

In contrast, they are more interested in the second thing -

That is, "Survivor Daily" Jin Gallon Port's exclusive interview with Xilan Emperor Wu Tuo.

Compared with the previous serious topic, this second matter is full of funny colors from beginning to end.

When the two sides met on the Royal Merchant Ship, Wu Tuo suddenly changed his mind before the interview, and asked the reporter team of "Survivor Daily" to kneel down for the interview on the grounds of Xilan's law.

Of course, the latter couldn't be used to him, and he had an idea, and hired a Willant actor from the Grand Theater.

Sure enough, when the Wu Tuo saw the big nose, he immediately smiled, as if seeing his own father, and politely asked him to sit down and talk.

The interview went well.

On the one hand, the script is used as the memorization of lines, and on the other hand, it is improvised on the spot. Both sides frequently make mistakes, and it is full of comedy from the beginning to the end.

After the interview, the Port Gold Galleon branch of Survivor Daily published a special issue on the same day, reporting on this "conversation of the century".

However, perhaps because the "kneel down!" episode offended the editorial team of the newspaper, the editor who wrote it used the word "last emperor" in the title rather maliciously.

Thanks to Wu Tuo who only read the "Special Confession" sent by the Duke of Galava, the people below did not dare to show it to him when they saw this rebellious title, otherwise they might get angry at him and cause some diplomatic disputes .

And not long after the special issue was released, people who satisfied their curiosity gradually lost interest in the emperor.

The guy riding on the heads of the survivors in Borneo Province turned out to be such a thing.

Objectively speaking, he may indeed be a little bit better than ordinary people, but not much, not even as good as those upstarts in King Gallon Port who have been fattened up by demolition.

Talking about military theory, he vividly described the rules on the fighting beast chessboard.When it comes to international strategy, he used the monkeys and dogs in the zoo to "simplify the complexity", and the temporary workers of the Willant people who interviewed him were speechless.

As for the future of the empire.

Wait until the battleships of the South Sea Alliance are delivered, and everything will be fine!

Some things are not afraid to touch them together, but they are afraid of seeing the light.

People who read the special issue were disappointed, and felt sorry for the 4 gallons that bought the newspaper.

With this money, sitting in a teahouse and listening to it is even more exciting than this!

However, it is precisely because of the 4-gallon special issue that people can finally see the "face" of Wu Tuo clearly.

In the future, no matter how secretive those old guards say that the emperor of Xilan is actually very wise and unfathomable, with unknown supernatural powers and grand schemes behind him, few normal people will believe those nonsense nonsense anymore.

At this moment, Wu Tuo didn't know about the public opinion outside, but he was very satisfied that there were not so many people watching the fun by the river.

There were fewer people on the riverside, and he finally dared to open the windows to let in the air. He even put the dining table on the deck, and held a banquet for the nobles and elders of King Gallon Port to win people's hearts.

All the nobles above the Baron of King Gallon Port were invited by him, but the response was mediocre.

Those big nobles have either moved, or are doing well, even if they want to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to see him.

For example, Sheriff Bihari.

Not to mention that he couldn't go, he even wanted to flush the invitation letter and title down the sewer, so as to completely erase the brand of belonging to the empire on his body.

In the end, those who went to the appointment were some unsatisfactory nobles.

Most of them are people who have been severely left behind by the wheel of the times. Although they may have something in their stomachs, they refuse to let go of their bodies to do things, or they have high-mindedness and low-handedness. In the end, they either go bankrupt or owe a lot of debt, and their lives are miserable.

It is precisely because of this that when they stood on the deck of the Royal Merchant Ship wearing the most expensive dresses in their wardrobes and saw their Emperor, the great and beautiful "Nihak era" seemed to come back to them.

At this moment, almost everyone couldn't help but burst into tears, wishing they could plop on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Do you think of us!"

"We miss you so much, Your Majesty!"

"Come back soon!"

"The alliance is really not a thing! Woohoo, you don't know how they treat us!"

"We are suffering!"

"My lords, please get up quickly, I'm the one who made you suffer." Standing in front of the crowd with a compassionate expression, Wu Tuo stepped forward to raise his hands, trying to help them up.

Looking at the tearful nobles, he had an unbearable expression on his face, but his heart was filled with joy.

Although even if it proves that the alliance is a piece of shit, it cannot prove that the empire is a piece of shit, but he likes to hear it if he can't stand it.

After all, the more miserable they cried and the deeper the pain, the more they proved that he was right.

After some weeping greetings, Wu Tuo asked his servants to invite them to a table.

As for himself, he sat at the main seat of the banquet, looked at the chef hired from the Triumph Hotel and nodded, indicating that the dishes could be served.

A row of food carts were quickly pushed onto the deck, and all the delicacies were placed on them.

A group of nobles and elders swallowed their saliva watching, staring eagerly at the waiter who served the dishes, wishing to pounce on them and grab them with their hands.

Wu Tuo was satisfied with this meal, as if he made up for all the grievances he suffered along the way.

After drinking for three rounds, all the ministers were a little drunk, and some even snored while lying on the table.

Seeing that the food was almost ready, Wu Tuo suddenly got up drunk, raised his glass and said.

"Hearing the grievances of the gentlemen, I feel very distressed in my heart. I blame the Alyan for his inability to defend against the enemy, which made you wronged!"

After a pause, he said again.

"That's it! When the situation subsides, are you willing to follow me back to the Heavenly Capital? I assure you, all the previous things will be wiped out, and you will still be my most loyal servants!"

After the words fell, there was no sound on the deck, even the loud snoring stopped.

Those fellows who had snotted their noses, burst into tears, poured bitter water and cursed that the alliance was not a thing, suddenly buried their heads in silence at this moment, as if they were dumb.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting colder, Prince Dilip hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, and said with an awkward smile.

"Everyone eat vegetables, eat vegetables! You are wronged by not being able to eat normally. Today is your Majesty's treat, don't be polite, eat more!"

Hearing this voice, the nobles who lowered their heads seemed to have cured the dumb again, and they all praised.

"Your Majesty is generous!"

"That alliance is really stingy! It doesn't seem like His Majesty has a broad mind to pay that little compensation for taking away my house!"

"Hey... the old minister really misses Grand Duke Nihak all the time! I wonder if he is safe in the Nanman Sea!"

"...Come back soon! We miss you, Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere at the scene was heated up again.

Those down-and-out nobles poured bitter water again, with snot and tears.

As for going to Tiandu, no one mentioned it.

They seemed to be drunk, but they became more sober one by one, and both of them became human beings.

Wu Tuo looked displeased, drank alone, wanted to have a fit, but didn't know where to start.

It's all good words, who should I scold?
Unable to bear this hypocritical atmosphere, he snorted coldly after seeing enough human feelings, got up from the table and left with a flick of his sleeves...

The weeping and crying sound continued one after another, but it was like laughing and laughing in the interchanging of cups and cups.

And that voice of laughing like crazy is harsher than crying...

Finally noticing that His Majesty was gone, the drunk Prince Dilip quickly wiped his mouth and raised his glass to toast.

"Your Majesty is too strong to drink, everyone, drink to your heart's content, drink to your heart's content!"

A group of nobles who were full of greasy mouths and round bellies didn't care, and even forgot that the person they missed had left the table, so they all hiccupped.

"Praise Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

Wu Tuo held a big banquet on the Yongliu River, and the empire that lost the emperor turned into a mess.

It wasn't because the Heavenly King's army broke the gate of Tiandu, but no one expected that Wu Tuo would actually make a show of "striking east and west".

This is the king of a country!
How can there be any reason to treat courtiers like monkeys like this?

As the interview was published in the newspaper and the special issue of Survivor Daily was published, the news that Wu Tuo was in King Gallon Port spread immediately.

The three northern states who were busy welcoming His Majesty were the first to be dumbfounded, especially when they saw that it was the crown prince who came, and those who followed the emperor's etiquette were immediately dismissed.

The warlords of Huzhou and Baozhou on the edge of Jingalun Harbor even yelled, they didn't expect to be tricked by their own emperor!

In fact, when it comes to rebellion, they may not have thought about it, at least right now they have no idea at all.

After all, with the current state of the empire full of holes, whoever becomes the emperor will be roasted on the fire. Isn't it good to be a local emperor who speaks for himself?
However, although they had no intention of rebelling, they had to be wary of the ambiguity of their neighbor who was also a warlord, who hijacked the emperor to play tricks.

Now that the emperor slipped through their territory without saying a word, the two warlords felt uneasy.

The emperor no longer trusted them.

The sky was surrounded by water, and it was impossible to expect to continue to call for military pay.

Right now the empire has no time to take care of them, but it will be hard to say when the empire is free.

So are they against it or not?

The Tiger Army and Black Panther Army, who were originally just busy making a fortune silently, had to face this realistic problem at this moment.

And when the entire empire was at a loss because of Wu Tuo's coquettish manipulation, the city of Shuguang, which was thousands of kilometers away, had a unique scenery.

The first Wasteland Survival Equipment Expo has officially come to an end, and has been well received by wastelanders, with sales of 10 billion silver coins!

All survivor forces that have been certified by the alliance and abide by the basic conventions can purchase military equipment according to their diplomatic level to fight against predators and mutant forces.

The alliance's military factories will even provide professional customized services according to the customer's coordinates and actual needs.

For example, installing fixed turrets on the fence, installing patrol drones near production facilities, and so on.

In the past, with the purchasing power of the survivors around the alliance, it was almost impossible to afford these high value-added gadgets.

Even if the alliance's banks lent them money, it was impossible for them to pay back due to their financial situation.

However, in the past year, relying on the support of those technicians who were attracted to Dawn City by the alliance, the alliance has been continuously upgrading its industry.

In the process, the alliance itself has also "transitioned" a lot of relatively outdated production equipment to those relatively reliable but underdeveloped partners.

For example, King Galleon Port is the most typical example.

Although the earlier Golden Gallon Port was poor and empty, it received a large amount of investment with the support of Baiyue Company, and quickly took over the production line that the alliance was migrating to Yinyue Bay at that time.

This includes sugar, wine, cotton spinning, clothing, agricultural machinery and bicycles and even exoskeleton accessories and so on.

Although the added value of these industries is not high, it is just right for Jin Gallon Port, which is labor-intensive and has a relatively low education rate.

Of course, it is impossible for Golden Gallon Port, which has made a fortune by relying on the alliance, to only enter and exit, and the rules of the game of the alliance cannot allow it to play like this.

In addition to being used to repay the installment loan and to purchase the silver coin bonds issued by the Union Bank for interest, a considerable part of the money was also used for imported goods.

As one of the high value-added products, arms accounted for a considerable proportion of them.

In addition to Jin Gallon Port, other settlements including Luoxia Province, the southern sea area, and the eastern provinces are actually the same, and similar circulation of currency and goods is carried out.

And these survivor settlements who have become rich from the alliance, while using silver coins to improve their lives, naturally don't mind spending a little money to upgrade their security measures, so as not to be missed by the predators outside.

In addition to those collective purchase orders, there are also some individual buyers.

After all, compared to the high-tech products produced by enterprises that are difficult to maintain, the simple and easy-to-use weapons made by the alliance are quite popular among wastelanders.

However, several groups from enterprises also sold a lot of good products at the exhibition.

For example, the wearable smart devices of Endpoint Group, the military exoskeleton and prosthetic body of Changge Group, and the bionic humans of Kangmao Group, etc.

Most of these equipments were bought by alliance players, accounting for 30% of the total transaction share of the entire exhibition.

As a special guest, Chu Guang also participated in the exhibition, although he didn't buy anything.

He himself has no need to change equipment, and the equipment of the alliance has more professional channels to purchase, so there is no need to pick and choose at this exhibition.

Moreover, they generally don't sell the really good things casually.

For example, the P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft and the L-10 "Thunder" fighter that showed their talents in the North Island Battle.

Chatting with old friends from the company at the exhibition, Chu Guang was about to go to see what new work Brother Mosquito was doing, but suddenly received a video call request from Cheng Yan, the foreign minister of the alliance, so he went to rest next to the exhibition center room.

"Xiao Qi, watch the door for me."

"okay."

Hearing Chu Guang's order, Xiao Qi replied vigorously, and then immediately connected to the monitoring system of the exhibition center to ensure that no one was listening nearby.

As for Chu Guang, he skillfully took out a holographic computer pen from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table, unfolding the light blue holographic image.

There are many people in the convention and exhibition center, so it's better to be careful.

What's more, this matter is of great importance.

Although the video call has not been connected yet, Chu Guang has roughly guessed what his foreign minister is going to report...

as predicted.

As soon as the phone was connected, Cheng Yan spoke in a hurry.

"...According to the information we have obtained through diplomatic channels, the Empire has formally asked for help from the Legion! A team of ten thousand people is departing from Triumph City to Xifan Port in an airship. It is not yet clear which troop and where it is from." Legion."

"Although they sent troops as we expected, I am worried that the Legion will use this as an excuse to expand the war, and even take the opportunity to annex the entire Borneo province... The Southern Legion is different from the Eastern Legion. The Evernight Port controlled by the former is far away from the West Fan Port is not too far away, and they have always had the ambition to conquer the East, and they have the realistic conditions to dominate Xi Fan Port and even the entire Borneo Province!"

"At present, there are two resistances they are facing. One is the opposition from within the legion, that is, the opposition of the civil service group. According to the statement provided by Benoit, Saifan Port and Borneo Province are strictly speaking belonged to the civil service group of Triumph City. sphere of influence ... but their voices seem to be silenced at the moment."

Chu Guang nodded.

"Obviously so many people died after all."

"really……"

Cheng Yan nodded with a wry smile and continued.

"The second resistance faced by the Southern Legion comes from the ancient contract. I don't need to repeat this to you. You should know that the Legion and the Enterprise made an agreement a long time ago under the witness of the Great Rift Valley and the Academy. sphere of influence, especially the expansion scope of the legion... that is, under no circumstances, the legion shall not directly control the territory east of the Great Desert."

"But in fact, you also know that the promise of the legion is the paper to wipe the butt in the toilet. They have been rubbing against the edge of the red line. For example, the Falcon Kingdom is controlled by the Eastern Legion in the form of a vassal. As for Xifan Port, although the legion is in name There is no military presence in the area, but there are actually some people there, just not on a large scale."

After listening to the clues provided by Cheng Yan, Chu Guang thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Actually, I've been reviewing the whole thing for the past few days. Is it possible... This is a farce directed and acted by the Willant people."

"You're on to something!"

Cheng Yan gave a thumbs up approvingly, but quickly restrained his untimely frivolity, and continued with cautious words.

"Actually, don't say you think so... Benoit also told me so. The civil service group has no troops directly under its control. Some people have been thinking about the cakes in their hands. He always feels that things are not that simple. Maybe someone is here What a mess."

This possibility cannot really be ruled out.

And not low.

After all, the strength of the civilian group is too weak, and the cake in their hands is easy to miss, and it just so happens that the legion is in a very embarrassing stage-that is, this behemoth designed for war has not been seen for a long time. continued to expand.

For a militaristic state, this is almost inconceivable.

If the Heavenly King Army is an avalanche in Borneo, then they are an avalanche that sweeps across the entire wasteland, and there is no such thing as stopping wherever it hits.

The Eastern Expansion Faction does not only exist in the Eastern Legion.

Obviously, there must be a similar faction in the Southern Legion, and the Evernight Harbor standing on the central axis of the Great Desert is the best proof.

That settlement is located on the red line drawn by the "ancient contract", and there is an entire team of ten thousand people stationed there for a long time.

That settlement is like the bridge of the nose of the Willant people, and they reject everything from the War Construction Committee from the bottom of their hearts.Whether it is the order decided by the latter, or the contract signed under the leadership of the latter.

However, this is just Chu Guang's guess.

After all, it was [-] lives...

Without evidence, it is impossible for him to arbitrarily attribute it all to some kind of huge conspiracy. After all, Benoit also has the motive of lying to "justify his own incompetence".

"What's your suggestion?"

Seeing that Chu Guang suddenly threw the question at himself, Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately.

"I propose to increase troops to Jin Gallon Port! We must maintain a military presence of more than two corps in this area! Regardless of whether the incident in Xifan Port is the result of a self-directed and self-directed performance by a certain faction of the legion, we must be alert to them taking the opportunity Cross the red line."

Hearing his proposal, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"What about the opinion of King Gallon Harbor?"

Cheng Yan said with a smile.

"They hoped that we would protect their safety in the past, and even offered to bear the full cost of our military presence."

Military spending is actually a trivial matter.

It is more important to keep the Legion calm.

Chu Guang nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, I will dispatch two corps to go there."

Upon hearing these words, Cheng Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Wu Tuo suddenly appeared in Jingalun Port. This incident seems to be quite a big deal in Borneo Province. The Jingalun Port authorities are not sure how to deal with it, and hope to seek our opinions... "

This matter is actually an internal matter of the Xilan Empire, and the alliance has neither reason nor meaning to intervene.

An emperor who has lost control of his own empire can at best be a puppet.

This guy may be useful in the hands of the Legion, but the Alliance is not a Legion after all, so it is naturally impossible to do the same thing as the Willanters.

Although looking at Cheng Yan's expression, he seemed to want to use this guy, but Chu Guang didn't take this guy particularly seriously.

"Let King Gallon Port decide for itself. The Legion has already been invited in by that guy. Does it make any sense even if we force him to change his words? The Willanters are not taxi drivers. They just stop and leave with a wave."

In fact, when it comes to this point, it doesn’t make any difference whether you invite me or not.

The legion itself is not very well-behaved, even if the empire does not ask them for help, they will run over by themselves.

Legal reason?
If the Willant people really cared so much, they wouldn't break the contract again and again.

"That's what I said, but I think it's a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity." Cheng Yan said regretfully.

Chu Guang smiled lightly.

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

"From the moment he left Tiandu, his era is over."
