Chapter 1428 The Storm
"The peace talks failed!"
"The Tianshui Empire has no sincerity and will not accept our conditions."
"The left minister of the Tianshui Empire, Jin Chang, left in anger."
"The war is about to begin!"
…
All kinds of news broke out in the Minghui Empire for a while. News spread everywhere through newspapers and various traditional means of communication.
But as the news spread, so did the enthusiasm of the people.
In the past year, due to the explosive development of Du'er Jindan, the Tianshui Empire encountered economic attacks, but the wealth from these attacks was transferred to the Minghui Empire and subsidized to the citizens.
As a result, the Minghui Empire has fully enjoyed the benefits of the 'trade war'.
People have steelyards in their hearts, and everyone knows what's going on. But the common people are also easily driven by interests. So when they heard that a war might break out, the people seemed a little overjoyed.
Immediately afterwards, the Minghui Empire began to recruit and dispatch troops, and the huge war machine began to operate.
At the same time, the Tianshui Empire also received the message, but the situation with the Minghui Empire was completely different. Whether it is private or official, there are many negative attitudes.
The conflicts among the folks, ordinary people, dealers of elixirs, alchemists, etc., became more and more intense because of the reason of crossing the golden elixir.
The Tianshui Empire tried to control the sales of Duer Jindan, but it was too late. What surprised the people of Tianshui Empire even more was that under such circumstances, the elixir dealers from Minghui Empire said one after another: Duer Golden Pill will not increase in price, and all elixirs will not increase in price. We operate with integrity !
Should the price of the pill be raised at this time? Normally speaking, it must increase the price. But before Zhang Hao left, he gave Prince Rui a suggestion: don't raise the price.
No price increase, but limited sale!
There are plenty of Duer Jindan, and there is no need to limit sales. The Blue Star Group has piled up like a mountain. But ordinary pills are different, and the Blue Star Group itself doesn't have enough of them.
A price increase will inevitably disrupt the trade war plan. Although the trade war is aimed at the economy, it is more directly aimed at the hearts of the people. What Zhang Hao means is: the number of sales is limited every day, but the price remains the same.
Zhang Hao has already used a similar method before, which is to purchase medicinal materials: increase the price by 5%, but only charge a small amount.
Of course, whether it is buying medicinal materials or selling pills, the so-called "small amount" is relative, at least it must form enough influence. Even if you are acting, you have to do enough.
People with a discerning eye will know what's going on at a glance, but the common people are blind most of the time; and you see, foreign imports don't raise prices, but domestic ones have the nerve to raise prices?
But drug dealers, alchemists and the like couldn't stand it. The price of medicinal materials has increased, but the price of elixirs will not let us increase?
This is where the contradiction arises.
And once there are conflicts in the country, it is not appropriate to suppress the conflicts, and the war weariness of the people will be infinitely raised-who am I participating in the war for?
The most important thing is the reason for the war, look at all these things!
You sent someone to assassinate Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao told Blue Star Group not to increase the price of the pills sold by the Blue Star Group; you were assassinating in the Minghui Empire, and the pills sold by the Minghui Empire did not increase in price.
In this case you let us go to fight? Sorry, we really can't do it!
Or else, large-scale wars require teachers to be famous. The Tianshui Empire's war has not yet started, and it has lost the hearts of the people and lost its morality. How can this war be fought?
When the soldiers went to the battlefield, they were subconsciously embarrassed when they saw the opponent's army, and their combat effectiveness was virtually weakened by 30%.
Such a situation naturally reflected the high level of the Tianshui Empire.
In the palace hall, the monarchs and ministers were silent.
"It's unreasonable!" Prince Jiang Tian roared angrily. Just now, Jin Chang, the left minister who had just returned to the empire, conveyed Zhang Hao's words: How about killing your prince if I pay five billion white tiger coins.
The crown prince was still roaring, but Liu Hong, the prime minister on the right, sneered: 'Zhang Hao still knows himself, so he dare not mention His Majesty. '
"Is this what we're going to talk about now!" Jin Chang's face instantly fell, "The most urgent thing is to prepare for war. This time the situation is very critical, and it is completely different from the previous wars.
At least this time, we made mistakes first, and the Minghui Empire is famous. In the Minghui Empire, the common people are delighted after hearing the war; on our side, the common people are still getting angry. The situation is at stake! "
The natural discord between the left and the right is not only a struggle for power, but also a part of the imperial power-if the left and right are united, it will not be dangerous.
But right minister Liu Hong did the same this time, he really shouldn't be flattering him at this critical moment.
It's just that Jin Chang is so strong, Liu Hong couldn't bear it, and immediately responded angrily: "The assassin's question... Forget it, I won't say anything. But you can't delay the time when you negotiate with the other party? At least tell me first. Let's think about the other party first.
After thinking about it and negotiating a few more times, a year will pass, and we will be more fully prepared. Now such a hasty challenge, the difficulty is bound to be great!
The words that someone swore at the beginning are still ringing in my ears! "
"Stop arguing!" the emperor said angrily, "Prepare for war now, first deploy defenses at the tongue-rolling star officials, and stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible, calm down and guide the public's speech, and stabilize domestic commerce.
And the business network from the Minghui Empire, can it be blocked now! "
Diao Wuhai, Zuo Qing, who is in charge of the emperor of Tianshui Empire, stepped forward, "Your Majesty, we are already dealing with it. I have already sent people to inspect all the business of Minghui Empire and even the Blue Star Group in the name of investigating spies. There has also been news that the Minghui Empire came to the elixir and so on, all of which contain unknown erysipelas.
It is estimated that within a month, the civil society will be able to restore stability. "
"Very good!" The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the ministers again, "Do you have any suggestions, dear ones? But it's okay, if it's useful, you'll be rewarded."
Immediately, a minister said: Minghui Empire and Blue Star Group took the initiative to attack, although they came prepared, but we are not fighting alone. Many large countries around have long coveted the Blue Star Group, but have never had a reasonable chance to make a move; if we had invited it, the situation might have been different.
In fact, what these countries lack is a reasonable excuse; and our invitation is the best excuse!
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up. Yes, invite other countries to come!
This time, the emperor thought about it, and sent his right minister, Liu Hong, as an envoy to visit several large empires,
…………
But it shows that in the Hui Empire, Prince Rui has been busy since the war was confirmed, and it was a large-scale war.
Yes, it was Prince Rui, not the Great Emperor.
In fact, after a series of actions achieved brilliant results, Prince Rui, especially the eldest prince Huang Fei, became very famous and became the person with the highest voice to ascend to the throne.
In addition, the emperor recently declared again: You are not joking, the next emperor will be jointly in charge of the eldest princess and the son-in-law. As for the son-in-law, it has been tentatively decided to choose from among the eldest princes of the three princes. Huang Fei had already ridden away, leaving the other two brothers far away.
At this moment, Prince Rui was even more actively preparing for this war.
"The situation is very optimistic!" Xu Zheng was busy beside Prince Rui, but with a bright smile on his face, "I didn't expect that the trade war would lead to so many results. Now in the Tianshui Empire, the people don't have the will to fight, and we Here we are delighted to hear about the war. It’s a surprise.”
Prince Rui nodded, "But don't be careless. Once this war breaks out, it will be difficult to determine the outcome for the time being. What is certain is that the final war will not be limited to us and the Tianshui Empire.
It is foreseeable that the Tianshui Empire will inevitably invite other empires to participate. In fact, the rest of the empires have been coveting the Blue Star Group and the World Gate for a long time, it was just an excuse for not participating in the past.
In addition, our Bluestar Group will also make efforts.
In a short period of time, it can be determined that the war will definitely expand to the Tianshui Empire, the Tian'a Empire, and the Great Xia Empire on our side. The battle line will stretch for more than three thousand light-years. "
"Is this... possible?" Xu Zheng looked at the star map and was a little stunned.
"This is what Zhang Hao told me before he left!" Prince Rui's eyes were dignified and admired, "Although Zhang Hao's cultivation level is not enough and he is not very old, he can see some things extremely thoroughly.
He has long determined that once the war breaks out, it will definitely expand to us, the Great Xia Empire, the Tianshui Empire, and the Tian'a Empire in a very short period of time; then the scale of the war will further expand.
After confirming that Zhunsheng would not make a move, Zhang Hao formulated such a war plan. "
After hearing this, Xu Zheng was completely stunned, "Isn't this...then...this war uncontrollable? If many countries around us all attack us, how will we win?
There are only seven empires in the Blue Star Group, and they are not necessarily united.
But there are more than twenty empires around us, almost three against one. We simply can't afford it.
What's more, we have to guard against the gate of the world. "
Prince Rui looked at the star map, his face showed a bit of madness, but he was even more calm, a kind of calmness that was almost cold, "No. Zhang Hao said that the longer the front is dragged, the better for us. And the Blue Star Group The interior is relatively credible, and the peripheral countries will not be united.
In addition, we have a large-scale ultra-high-speed communication system and technology, and it is still developing at a high speed.
At present, the interstellar high-speed equipment has been developed and debugged, and our maneuverability will be ten times that of the enemy.
We have intelligent technology and unmanned control technology, we have large-scale factories, and we have excellent industrial technology. In a large-scale war, the power of industry is not much worse than that of a master of cultivation.
Finally, we have another advantage that we didn't think of at all in the past, and that is... we are fighting on a single line. But the countries around us are facing the problem of fighting on two fronts.
Behind us is the outskirts of the Zhoutian galaxy, and there are no large empires anymore. We can attack internally with peace of mind.
But the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'e Empire are different, there are countries behind them; they must divide their forces to defend. We can even contact and even cooperate with these countries behind enemy lines, and we can carve up these countries together.
This isn't just a war, it's... a change! A storm!
The entire Zhoutian galaxy will tremble in the storm! "
"But what about the Gate of the World and the Sky Demon World?" Xu Zheng asked again.
