Chapter 14601461 I want to build a palace
“You still need supplies? I’ll give them the throne!” Lions II banged the table and yelled at his ministers.
He was really angry, because his men were about to hand over his empire to Dorne I! Ever since he took the throne, nothing has gone his way, and his role as emperor has become increasingly boring.
"I want to build a palace! You guys keep saying you have no money! Now, you are planning to send so much food, steel, oil... to Dorne! Are you ministers of the Lions Empire, or Dorne? Minister? Huh?" Lions II asked sharply, causing the ministers in the court to lower their heads and dare not speak.
This is a question of their loyalty and is the most serious accusation. If it is really confirmed that they are traitors to the country, then they will really lose their heads.
"Your Majesty! We are also striving for a safer environment for the Lions Empire." The Foreign Minister glanced at his colleagues who were pretending to be dead, and could only stand up and said: "Once Dorne is in chaos, the Tang Empire will take advantage of it. If we enter, we will have no natural moat to organize the expansion of Tang State. "
"As long as we have good relations with the Tang Empire, do we need to worry about Tang's invasion?" Lions II angrily asked the Foreign Minister: "They have already occupied the Western Continent, how vast is the territory? Do we need to come to the Eastern Continent? ?”
Although his short-sightedness made many ministers dismissive, partial peace is indeed a way of compromise. As long as you act like an ostrich and pretend not to see it, the many difficulties are really not worth mentioning.
Moreover, if the sky falls and there is a tall man to hold it up, even if the Dorne Empire breaks into chaos first, the Tang Empire will only invade Dorne first and annex Gobl and other areas. It is still far away from attacking the Lions Empire, at least for another Wait a year or two.
It feels completely different to support Dorne but now have to cut flesh on the Lions Empire.
"I said I wanted to spend money to choose some beauties, but you said you had no money! I said I wanted to spend money to repair the palace, but you also said you had no money! Now if you want to support Dorne, you can spend millions and tens of millions at once Money? Minister of Finance, please explain! Please explain to me! "What exactly is this?" Lions II stood up, walked up to a minister, and asked sternly.
The finance minister did not dare to answer, lowered his head and pretended to be dead. He actually couldn't spend much money to support Dorne. Most of the money was actually taken from various projects.
Everyone knows the truth of the situation, so they would rather take less, but also support Dorne. Let Dorne continue to support it for the time being, which can be regarded as buying more time for everyone.
But the emperor of his own family... When he wanted to spend money before, no one agreed. This strong contrast really made the emperor unable to accept it.
If it were a sensible emperor, then if everyone could explain a few words, maybe this matter could be fooled. But now we have encountered someone who is not very wise, so it is very difficult for everyone.
"Your Majesty! My lips are dead and my teeth are cold..." Foreign Minister Suomi tried to reason. After all, if the Tang Dynasty attacked, the country would be gone. This is the most unacceptable thing for an emperor, isn't it?
But as soon as he said a sentence, Lane II's spittle came over him: "I'm so cold now, do I still feel cold with my lips and teeth? Tens of thousands of barrels of fuel! One hundred thousand tons of food! My people You are still starving, so you give all the food to others? "
At this time, he finally thought of the people in Lanes... He had not seen him feel so sad when the people were starving before. And when he was preparing to renovate the palace, he didn't feel that it was a waste of money and people.
"I don't care! Since these things can be squeezed out to aid Dorne, some of them can be kept for our own use! Ten thousand barrels of fuel, twenty thousand tons of food! No more!" Lions II stretched out two Pointing his finger, he said firmly.
In his opinion, there are Susas Empire, Poplar Empire, and Ice Empire further north anyway, so everyone should contribute their efforts... Everyone should get money...
But in fact, as the Tang State left all the countries on the Eastern Continent aside and showed an attitude of not caring about the East, all countries began to slack off in supporting Dorne.
This is also one of the reasons why Dorne began to be unable to support itself: they were able to obtain fewer and fewer supplies from countries around the world, and these supplies were being provided slower and slower. In the end, of course, there was no way to make up for Dorne's national preparations for war. of consumed.
In fact, there was no way to refute the emperor on this matter, and the ministers stopped talking. Ministers including Suomi also knew that this was almost the limit.
They really had no way to provide Dorne with too much charity without letting the emperor spend a penny.
So these ministers gradually dispersed, leaving only Lions II sitting on the throne panting.
…
The same goes for the Yangmu Empire. After spending millions of gold coins in supplies, the elven nobles and ministers also began to express their dissatisfaction with supporting Dorne.
They believe that the Lions Empire should take more. After all, they are located relatively north of the Eastern Continent and are closer to the Tang Empire in international relations. There is no need to fully support Dorne.
The Ice Empire further north is willing to provide more oil, but the dwarves are worried that their aid will cause the Tang Empire to turn its attention to the north.
After all, besides Dorne, the most suitable landing place is their Ice Empire: because there is a springboard called Mirage Island between them and the Western Continent controlled by the Tang Empire.
It really made the Tang Empire anxious. It would not be impossible to directly declare war on the Ice Empire and then land near the Everwinter Port...
As a result, the Ice Empire's assistance to Dorne was also reduced to a relatively small level. However, they gave more happily and more frequently.
Due to the influence of Mo Kangsen, the Nanla Empire has always maintained a relatively good relationship with the Tang Empire. Therefore, Nanla's aid to Dorne was not much, and it was better than nothing.
Dorne did not count on the Nanla Empire. They relied more on the aid of the Lions Empire and the Yangmu Binghan Empire.
The Susas Empire did not give them less, but because they had no sea territory, they were not very active in resisting the Tang Empire's landing.
These empires have various reasons, and they have begun to reduce their support for Dorne. As a result, it has become more difficult for Dorne.
