Realm of Power

Lisbonto, covered with white snow, is full of a kind of smart beauty. The blue bay turns white, and the snow marks like yarn dots form a huge crescent. The docks in the port are still full, with only sails. The number of them spreads for several miles, and the white seagulls hover around.

This super port, which is closest to the entrance to the inland sea, is now the center of trading in the southern seas that can compete with all the ports in northern Obaro. In just two or three years, Lisbonto's port scope has been expanded by six Second-rate,

The number of docks that can provide berthing for ships has exceeded 3,000. On the sea surface of the port, even in the cold winter season, ships are constantly coming and going. If there is a little bit of floating ice on the sea, special ships will be used to break it. People from all over Obarro goods and goods from the East Goods from both China and China can be found here. Leather and minerals from the north, gold and diamonds from the south, and silk tea from the mysterious East meet here like rivers meeting the sea. It is a rare fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. With signs of a cosmopolitan city,

The population exceeded 600,000 in November last year, which is almost one-third of the total population of the entire Putao area. There are many major chambers of commerce, the commercial streets are dazzling, and the number of shops exceeds 35,000. In Putao, Another major feature of winter is that because it is close to the ocean, the temperature in winter is warmer than other places. In addition, you can even see blooming flowers on the Flower City Island chain composed of more than ten large and small islands outside the port, which has also become a winter destination for dignitaries from all over the world. A gathering place.

In the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs building where Huacheng Port is located, the fat man turned over the documents in his hand helplessly, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Tulit Colleen, who was wearing a black palace dress and sitting on the main seat, signing documents. , the little witch has now grown into a big witch, with beautiful black hair pulled into a bun, crescent-shaped willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes, slender and bright, her face without makeup is even more white, her figure is slender, and she is graceful. Thousands. It was dazzling to see, probably because of the relationship between being in charge of the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the impact of the Gangfei incident, it became more and more obvious that the blood heritage of the Turrit family, Opalo's shadow for thousands of years, was revealed.

This time the empire fought with all its strength on the Feishan battlefield, which lasted for several months. The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs also withstood a lot of pressure. The southern Feize once wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the absence of the imperial navy in southern Congo. An attempt was made to send the navy north to plunder. News came from the Ministry of Intelligence, and the southern part of Congo was shaken. It was Turrit Colin who, against all opinions, ordered the repatriation of Foreign Service Officer Feize first. The same was the United Business Alliance, which encouraged the Putau area. The merchants fully funded the preparations for the war. In just a few days, a garrison of 50,000 people was deployed in the southern part of Gangfei. In the end, Fezer did not dare to move northward.

It has been more than a month since the war in Feishan ended. Varisien has been asked to handle the affairs of the Feishan Kingdom. With a hundred thousand imperial tigers in hand, Fatty believes that Varisien will completely squeeze out the Feishan people without mercy. Moreover, at this time, the empire had just defeated Feishan, and there were already signs of Obaro's public enemy. If large-scale military operations continued, it would really force the southern countries to join forces to start a war. Although the empire was powerful, it did not mean that it was arrogant and conceited. big. The army has been fighting fiercely for several months and needs to be repaired and prepared.

Moreover, the empire wiped out the remnants of Gangfei in just one year, leaving a rather large gap. The population in southern Congo has dropped to less than five million, and the population in the north is probably less than one million. We cannot really turn Congo, which is fertile and rich in resources, into a weedy horse farm as Ruitang Tingna said. ,

In order to increase the empire's tilt towards the Congolese region. Encourage more migration of people and resources

In January, the empire announced that the city of Lorca, the center of the southern transportation lines of Congo and Africa, would be the location of the imperial summer palace. The empire invested five million in rebuilding Lorca, attracting a large number of manpower and material resources to gather in Lorca, as well as the business alliance Congo and Africa. The Ministry also moved to Loka,

Duo Weiyan's Xiting cavalry rushed back to the empire to spend the winter with hundreds of Feishan noble heads in exchange for millions of gold coins. These fully loaded prairie cavalry were the most popular people in the port area in the previous month. The money-loving prairie people are straightforward and generous. They buy whatever they see without hesitation. Sometimes they don’t even negotiate the price. After ruling out the cruel nature of the prairie people, the empire has accepted that the prairie people are part of the empire. Businessmen We are also happy to do business with these guys who spend a lot of money on shopping.

Duo Weiyan learned the lesson this time and invested one hundred thousand gold coins in one go, leaving behind a confidant in the clan who was involved in the caravan. Establish the Sitting people's own trading post in Lisbon to prepare for the establishment of long-term trade.

"Who is willing to kill people all year round, not for the sake of survival, but for the sake of the tribe? The biggest expectation of us prairie people is to have cattle and sheep by our side, watching the tribe grow and prosper day by day, until one day we return to the embrace of the Changsheng Heaven!" boarded Huiguo! In front of the ship, a hero like Duo Weiyan was also infected by Lisbon's futuristic atmosphere. It was rare for him to express such emotion,

The fat man felt that this guy had changed his gender and seemed to have the aura of a wise man, but when he heard that this guy had chartered five large merchant ships to carry the various goods he had purchased in Lisbon, he was waiting to go back and present the treasure. Immediately I felt that this guy had not changed. He seemed to be a true hero, but in fact he was. A stay-at-home man by nature, he said parting words and could change the topic to "If the empire wants to attack Istan, I, the warrior of Xiting, are willing to serve as the vanguard of the empire! I heard that my reputation in Xiting has been very loud recently, no. I wonder if the bounty can be raised a little, there are still a lot of people at home waiting to live."

Ruitang Tingna, the princess of the East Court who did not get much benefit, was probably the most depressed. She led 50,000 cavalry south and prepared to kill all directions. However, she was blocked by tens of thousands of remnant troops. She was stunned to see the most valuable money. The senior officials of the Shan Army slipped away from their eyes, and none of them fell into the sword of the Xiting people. Otherwise, wouldn't all the millions of gold coins in Xiting belong to Xiting? I originally wanted to lick my face and follow suit, hoping to get some more military supplies from Fatty at least, but the news from outside the long wall forced the eldest princess to shed tears and say goodbye halfway.

When a small tribe leader of Dongting led his five hundred tribesmen to open up the land beyond the long wall, they boldly advanced five hundred miles to the east. As a result, they encountered the Dongting tribe on the other side, and the entire tribe was massacred. Ji Jin, although it is only a small tribe, is one of Rui Tangtingna's most trusted confidants. If Rui Tangtingna has no reaction to this, If he said that, he would lose the hearts of the entire Dongting. When leaving, Fatty saw his little wife wearing the same pretty face as Shuang, and finally relented and promised to give Ruitang Tingna one million gold coins as compensation for the battle. The elder Your Highness, the princess is laughing out loud. One million gold coins should be able to add a dozen settlements outside the long wall, and more than 10,000 people can be relocated.

"Do we have to move the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Luoka City?" Turrit Colleen raised her head with some resentment and closed the document in her hand. She usually rarely gave the fat man a look, but this time, it was really It's a little too much,

Although Loka City is designated as the summer palace of the empire, it is still only a medium-sized city. Except for the developed transportation, everything else is very average. Even if the empire is fully dominated, it will not be able to develop within a few years, let alone peace and harmony. The prosperous Reese before us Compared with Bento, as a woman, who doesn’t like such an international metropolis? There are all kinds of goods from all over the world. Even if you spend a day shopping, you may not be able to see them all. Isn’t it just for the purpose of forcing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to move to Roca? Will the woman in the business alliance give way? Who doesn't know that that woman is the mistress that Fatty has set for this city! Lisbonto is her base!

"Going to Loca is just a name. There are no mandatory rules for where you are!" The fat man picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip, then rolled his eyes at his little woman. "But you will be asked to do it in Lisbon." People have the illusion that there are two voices in Lisbon, not to mention the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this time. The agreement with the Zhongbia Empire has crossed the line. Do you know what kind of situation will result from agreeing to provide iron ore to the Central Committee of the Zhongbia Empire without authorization? If the person who signed the agreement was not you, he would be dead now, and then The empire will completely reject this agreement! "(To be continued.)
