Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 484 Chapter 484 Burden
"Your Majesty!" The new Prime Minister met Lions I who was in a very good mood recently in the spacious and bright office.

The imperial city of the Lions Empire has been built in a decent shape.Large factories can be seen everywhere here, and the buildings are row upon row, and it is a bustling scene as far as the eye can see.

Although there seems to be a big gap compared with Bunas, it is already considered one of the best advanced cities.

Because large-scale use of electricity was considered at the beginning of construction here, as well as a complete sewer system, and the streets on the ground have also been systematically planned, which is more than a little more perfect than the old city of Bunas.

Lions I signaled casually, asked his prime minister to find a seat to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the recent events can really be described as a turn of events."

He really didn't expect that a war that broke out across the distant, endless sea could actually save the Lions Empire in disguise.

Before, the Lions Empire was really passive, forcibly expanding its territory, and after becoming an empire, the Lions Empire was under tremendous pressure.

Some of this pressure has actual data, and some comes from intangible—but no matter it is tangible or intangible, pressure is pressure after all.

Because of its vast territory, the Lions Empire had to expand its army. In order to deal with threats from all directions, Lions had to maintain a very large number of armed forces.

Lions I had to ensure that he had the most basic defensive forces in the direction of Bunas and North Ridge, and also faced the actual threat of the bordering Nanla Empire.

At the same time, he must maintain a force in the southern region to guard against the sudden northward movement of the Dorne Kingdom, which already has the size of the empire.

As a result, Lions I had to expand the original number of troops from about 20 to more than 80. If it weren't for industrialization and the dividends of war, he wouldn't even be able to support so many mouths to eat.

Although the prestige he has built up with a series of victories and the new land can help him support such a large army, it does cost money to feed such a large army.

In order to maintain his superiority in military power, Lions I had to borrow money from the Datang Group and owed huge debts.

There is no way. All along, the trade deficit between the Lions Empire and the Datang Group has always been in deficit. Even if you have money, you can't stand the endless continuation of this situation.

A year's trade deficit is tens of millions of gold coins, not to mention the newly rich Lyons Empire, even the old powerful Nanla Empire can't stand it.

Frankly speaking, the situation in each country is almost the same. They are all importing a large amount of Datang Group's technology and purchasing high value-added products, so naturally the trade deficit is huge.

Countries are wandering back and forth on the brink of bankruptcy, and have tried repeatedly, but in fact, they all have some meaning that they cannot sustain it.

In such a general environment, the international situation has actually quietly become tense, and all countries are looking for the possibility of passing on the crisis, or everyone is thinking about fighting a war.

The Dorne Empire is preparing to expand further south to avoid conflict with the powerful Lions Empire, which is also industrializing.

For the King of Dorne, the outcome of the war with the Lyons Empire is uncertain, but attacking Goblin to the south is worth the money.

As long as you win Gobul, you can easily win the Cyric Consortium's automobile industry layout in Gobul, and quickly increase your national strength.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Goblins to sit still. After smelling danger, they immediately asked Sophia for help, and then the two countries began a new round of crazy arms race.

The Lions Empire also had to start its own arms procurement plan because of the arms race between the Dorne Kingdom and the Goblin Kingdom.

This is impossible. Who knows whether the Dorne Kingdom purchased arms to fight Goblins or to fight them, Lions?So Lyons can only buy, buy, buy, and so on, and the Nanla Empire can only buy, buy, and buy.

Immediately after that, Suzas bought, bought and bought, the pine kingdom bought and bought, the poplar kingdom bought and bought, and the cold kingdom bought and bought...

At the end of the purchase, everyone was about to go bankrupt, but found that the surrounding countries seemed to be very strong, and none of them were soft persimmons, and there was no way to handle them casually to restore blood to themselves.

Since there is no place to recover blood, the economy on the verge of collapse has become a fatal wound. These countries have almost played themselves to death, so they are full of hostility and are looking for opportunities to fight for their lives.

For a while, there was a lot of turmoil on the border, and there were construction scenes of digging trenches and building fortifications everywhere.In the end, even many countries took the cement originally used for infrastructure construction and used it to build fortifications on the border.

Just when everyone couldn't continue playing, Datang Group suddenly settled Zheng Guo. A war broke out quickly and ended even faster.

Immediately afterwards, the purchase orders came into the hands of everyone. Paixiu, which has always been unable to get in, and Datang Group, a world-leading technology, suddenly began to import various things in large quantities.

In the past, the largest import of Datang Group was steel and petroleum, and other things were barely added to balance the trade surplus.

Now, Datang Group not only imports machinery and equipment, but even buys things like cars.

The mechanical processing industries of the Frozen Kingdom and the Goblin Kingdom received orders first, and with the orders, they regained hope.

Afterwards, the Datang Group also swept away all the grain that could be bought in the entire international market, which also cost a large amount of money, and everyone soon breathed a sigh of relief.

With trade and a smooth trade cycle, the economy naturally has more or less a chance to breathe.After receiving a large number of orders, the relationship between various countries has obviously eased.

Originally, who is willing to take the risk of going to war when they have money to make?Isn't it good that everyone is honestly developing peacefully, making money and making a fortune?Why fight and kill?

In the past, everyone was going to stab each other because they couldn't make money. Now that everyone has received orders from Datang Group, making money safely is the last word!
As for the matter of preparing to stab each other before, it was all a misunderstanding, it was purely a misunderstanding!The key is that it hasn't been poked yet, and it's not poked if it hasn't been poked, right?

This is often the case. When a country releases a signal of goodwill, the next step is for everyone to find their own way.

For the Lions Empire, which has a relatively high level of industry and a relatively solid foundation, with the large-scale procurement of the Datang Group, life will be much easier at once.

First of all, part of the loan, or the interest on the loan, can be repaid with the materials produced, which greatly relieves the pressure on Lions.

Secondly, the actions of factory production and infrastructure construction will bring about a series of chain reactions, which will reduce the unemployment rate, stimulate the economy in some areas, and make everything develop in a more benign direction.

Anyway, with the arrival of Datang Group's orders one after another, all countries saw the hope of a wave of stability first, so they temporarily forgot the dangerous choices in their minds a few months ago.

"At least we have stabilized this month! There will be a bumper harvest next month, and we can sell some more at that time... It will be possible to repay part of the debt." The prime minister also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Yeah, because the price given by Datang is too high, so I don't think the other countries have much food reserves..." Lioness I felt unprecedented ease.

He has just lived in a luxurious electrified palace not long ago, and has just become an emperor!Before he had time to enjoy it, he was busy with military expansion and preparations every day, and he didn't want to continue living this day.

"Indeed, without food reserves, military operations cannot be carried out. At least until next year's harvest, wars are unlikely to start." After stopping what Lioness I said, the prime minister nodded and agreed with the emperor's opinion: "Your Majesty , this time, we can't go back to the old way again!"

"Yes! I decided to double the number of existing factories! Only then can we meet the domestic construction needs." Lioness I decided to follow the example of Datang and do his best to improve internal development.

Compared with Datang, which has many internal problems, the Lions Empire actually has a lot of problems. 70.00% of its land area was obtained through war expansion, and it also needs time to stabilize.

In the homelands of the extinct kingdoms, there are countless aborigines who need to be appeased, assimilated, and tamed.

Such problems also plagued Dorne, Susas, and the Ice Empire, making these countries have to take into account internal affairs and were unwilling to choose war easily.

Although the Nanla Empire didn't need to worry about such problems, its internal affairs were equally serious. Corruption was its biggest hidden danger. The emperor of the Nanla Empire had been improving these problems after his health gradually improved.

So, this is a wonderful balance, a balanced world maintained on the brink of war... Everyone is dealing with their own problems, and the purpose of dealing with problems is only one, to gain domestic political advantages before the next war comes.

Tang Mo never thought that his westward expansion strategy would bring a precious year to the world, but he does need precious time now to settle his own affairs.

Reigns I remembered the news from Bunas before, so he said to his prime minister: "Datang Group has recently sold many new technology licenses, and it seems that they have indeed spent a lot of money. We can take this opportunity Buy some useful technology back..."

The prime minister bowed slightly, and praised: "Your Majesty is wise! I also think that they are indeed bleeding profusely! It really costs a lot of money to buy so much liquid food."

"I think, this time, they probably got themselves into it. A country is not so easy to run. With so many poor people, dragging it down will also drag down the rich Datang Group to death." After finishing speaking , he considered his words and continued.

This statement made Lioness I very much agree with it, and he also felt that going to Zheng Kingdom to expand and establish the Datang Kingdom was a bad move chosen by Tang Mo.

In his view, carrying a poor and backward country with a low degree of integration is the Datang Group looking for trouble for itself.

In the short-term, the income is completely negative, and in the long-term, there may not be any benefits-according to his experience, when the Datang Group integrates Zheng Guo's national power, Tang Mo will almost always consider passing the throne to his son. up.

"Well, you're right. They have to save the whole country now. Even if they have the money to reach the level of the Datang Group, it's too much to do." So he nodded and smiled on his face.

He felt that he had really spent a lot more time smiling recently.He was used to being expressionless before, but everyone around him knew that he was not in a good mood all the time, and his whole body was tense.

At that time, Lions had internal and external troubles, so Lions has always been serious.But now, after many troubles have been solved and the national power has indeed improved, his smile has increased significantly.

As he talked, he felt that Tang Mo was nothing more than that: "So, we only saw the strength of the Datang Group before, but ignored their biggest problem. They have flaws in the level of national strength, and we have problems with them. A world of difference."

The prime minister also echoed: "They have no experience in managing a country. The time it takes for them to rule a country is much slower than the speed at which we learn from them and achieve industrialization."

Lions I almost clapped his hands. He looked at his confidants and said, "You are right! Very right! So, we have to catch up with them, and then...get back what originally belonged to us. "

No need for him to emphasize, the prime minister naturally knew what he said belonged to Lyons. It was a bright pearl, a bright pearl inlaid on the east coast of the Endless Sea!
Of course, in addition to this pearl, there is Yucheng, and Beiling... And, there are many more things.

Therefore, he did not mention Burnas' name, but followed what Lioness I said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Those are all yours!"

……

Dragon Island, Dragon Lair.

Tang Mo put down the documents in his hand with a smile, and said to his subordinates, "Burden? If it's just to feed the population of Zheng, do I need to buy so much food? So much machinery and equipment? So many cars? So much? How much oil?"

He paused, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "I, or we, are building a brand new country! The day this country takes shape, it will become a new benchmark for the entire world, and it will become the world's number one power! Forging a new future! Gentlemen! That's a burden? That's a lighthouse for the whole world!"
