Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Secret Alliance
This is also one of the reasons why the Magic Council and the East God Church unanimously launched a war against him after the establishment of the Maxim Empire.
It can be seen from this incident that the upcoming Four Emperors Summit will mainly be dominated by the Melox Empire and the Maxim Empire, supplemented by the United Magic Empire and the Eastern God Kingdom.
The Four Emperors Summit had just ended, and when St. Peter and Rheinski I met, they nodded in tacit understanding.
In the middle of the night, the two parties met in the enchantment arranged by the great magister. They were worried that there would be monitoring magic in the house they lived in, so they chose to meet somewhere in the garden.
As soon as the two parties sat down, someone immediately poured black tea for them.
The people who accompanied them were mentor-level at worst, and behind each of them stood three master-level powerhouses.
"You should also see the clue!"
St. Peter picked up the black tea and said helplessly.
He really didn't expect that the Magic Council would be reduced to a supporting role in a meeting like the Four Emperors' Summit.
With the rise of the Maxim Empire, the Magic Council joined forces with the Eastern Gods to attack the Maxim Empire, not to mention being blocked, and the management rights of the East Asian subcontinent also completely fell.
The Melox Empire was established, and the three countries jointly attacked. This time, because the three countries sent troops, both the Magic Council and the Eastern Gods had hidden strengths, and they also pitted the Maxim Empire many times.
But it is an indisputable fact to block the attack of the Three Kingdoms.
Among them, the Magic Council was most depressed. Not only did they lose part of the right to speak in the northern continent, but they finally took Moratti's line of defense.
It was the Magic Council that took a lot of money and several years to build.
"The future joint council must be headed by Maxim and Melox, and we cannot sit still."
When Reinsky I said this, his face was full of bitterness.
In the face of two up-and-comers with a history of less than 20 years, the Eastern God Sect and the Magic Council, two powers that have been passed down for hundreds of years, have reduced their sword tips to supporting roles. No one will believe such a thing.
St. Peter nodded and said: "We must unite, whether it is the economy or industry, to prepare for a rainy day."
"good!"
Reinsky I's answer was also very straightforward, not as procrastinated as at the Four Emperors' Summit, and then added: "I have studied the maritime trade in the past few years, and I understand why that kid Foer is so obsessed with maritime trade security. Agreement, the shipping cost is low, and it can go directly to the other three continents, as long as the four-sided trade starts, this is also an opportunity for us.”
Saint Peter also stated his intentions.
"I've found a pattern in Merox's business operations over the past few years. They like to seize the market, and in the end they even use some unclean methods, such as magic grain seeds. You should have heard of it?"
Reinsky I nodded. He knew about this aspect a long time ago, and he had to admire the means and wisdom of the Merox Empire afterwards.
"They use herbicides as a basis to destroy the cultivated land, making the land only suitable for cultivating their seeds, and thus forcing farmers to sign grain trade regulations with them. The only thing worthy of praise is that the food of Melox is not as ugly as that of Maxim .”
"That's right, the Merox people are not much worse than the Maxim people in terms of business. It's just that the Merox people will give local businesses room to survive and will not be wiped out. This is our only chance to trade the market for technology."
When St. Peter spoke his mind, Rheinsky fell silent.
It seems good to trade the market for technology, but it is full of unknowns about the future disadvantages.
"We just need to firmly grasp the control area and rule the area. Those areas set high taxes to prevent the inflow of Melox's goods. As long as we give time, I believe that the United Empire will be able to produce products that are not inferior to those two countries. country’s goods and weapons.”
When St. Peter mentioned weapons, he deliberately added an emphasis, which made the heart of Rheinsky I.
Reinsky I cared more about weapons than commodities.
With the production of rifles and artillery, the Eastern Shinto Church has suffered a great loss. The rifles cannot be mass-produced and popularized independently, and the artillery is so inferior that soldiers dare not use it, and there is a risk of bombing at any time.
This makes it easy for the East God Church to lose every time it is in a war, which is also the reason why the East God Church's active army is the smallest in the four countries.
It's not that they are unwilling to expand the army, but that the weapons and equipment can't keep up.
"I suggest that Maxim be brought in as well, so that the two parties can monitor and compete with each other."
Rheinsky I gave a more perfect idea.
Soon, the two countries with the longest history on the mainland, who had fought each other for hundreds of years, and who could almost be described as bloody enmity, were forced by the general situation to secretly unite.
In the middle of the night on September 11th, the ninth year of the Merlot calendar, during the summit of the Four Emperors, the Magic Council and the East God Church signed the Melo Secret Alliance Treaty.
In addition to technology sharing and deepening of bilateral trade, the secret alliance treaty also stipulates that if one of the contracting parties is attacked by another country, they should assist each other, provide 400,000 troops each, and not negotiate a separate peace with the enemy .
Of course, Aslan knew about the secret actions between the East God Cult and the Magic Council, even their late-night meeting.
It's just that he didn't know that the Melo Secret Alliance Treaty, a historical event that changed the pattern of the mainland, was facilitated under his nose, and he didn't expect that the heads of state of the two countries would be so courageous that they signed this treaty without the approval of the parliament and the church. .
I thought the two of them were just discussing how to maximize their interests in the future summit of the Four Emperors.
Sometimes, simplifying and making things more efficient makes people even more incomprehensible and incomprehensible.
Aslan was in Mrs. Sharon's mansion, listening to Xia Li's report, and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Continue to pay attention!"
"yes!"
Mrs. Sharon looked at Aslan cautiously. She was really ugly now, and she was afraid that Aslan would be disappointed in her.
"It's been a long time for you."
Aslan held Mrs. Sharon's hand, and said softly, "Xia Li has already told me that you have always been in charge of the empire's intelligence and security work."
Mrs. Xuelun's eyes were a little rosy, and the hard work during this period was worth it.
"Your Majesty, I am also part of the Empire."
Aslan rubbed his fat palm.
"Are you still pregnant? It's better not to work too hard, take more rest, and think more about your child."
Mrs. Sharon nodded with a smile and leaned on the reclining chair. It was too hard for her to sit upright now, and her belly was a bit bigger than normal pregnant women. It was even harder than when she was pregnant with Shani.
"Your Majesty, don't you need to go back tonight? Your Highness the Queen..."
Mrs. Sharon glanced at the time and reminded her carefully.
Aslan shook his head and smiled wryly.
"She's busy right now, I guess I won't be able to see her for a few days."
