Global Games: Start with 10 Billion Psionic Coins

  Chapter 303 Attacking the surrounding small countries

  The human world in "Evolution" is of course not the only three empires headed by gorse.

  Only around the Gorse Empire, there are 10 large kingdoms and 126 small principalities and city-states.

   The situation was similar for the other two empires.

   These kingdoms, principalities, and city-states are not very powerful.

   Take the number of high-level powerhouses as an example:

   A slightly more powerful kingdom, such as the Queen Kunk Kingdom mentioned by the princess, has a seventh-order legendary powerhouse in charge.

   But the highest ranked kingdom is only the sixth-order peak.

   Not to mention principalities and city-states, Su Yu can be regarded as a treasure even at the fourth rank.

  …

  The Gorse Empire is facing the sea in the east and south, and all these kingdoms and principalities and city-states are distributed in the north and west.

  It turned out that these small countries were the vassal states of the Plantagenet Empire, and they paid 10% of the tax revenue to the Plantagenet Empire every year. The Plantagenet Empire was responsible for protecting their national security from being annexed by powerful foreign enemies.

   Until 30 years ago, this situation changed.

  30 years ago during the Gorse Empire Civil War, the northern part of the Empire was occupied by Cutler rebels.

   So more than half of these small countries joined the Cutler rebels, and of course the tribute to the empire was cut off.

   When the princess abandoned Forest City and moved to Oran City a few months ago, the Cutler rebels had an absolute advantage at that time, and almost all of these small countries turned to the Khalerite rebels.

   In the decisive battle in Oran City not long ago, many high-ranking powerhouses from small countries joined the Cutler Rebels, willing to be the pawns of the rebels.

   Now that the Cutler rebels are destroyed, of course these small countries should also settle accounts in the autumn.

  The princess sat on the main seat and looked at Su Yu with a smile:

   "Because of the war, our fiscal deficit is very serious. Roughly speaking, we have a fiscal deficit of 40 to 50 billion yuan, and this number is still expanding. I seem to owe you several million psionic coins!"

   "Haha, that's right." Su Yu laughed.

   Now the high-end arms produced in Apshi City are all sold to the Imperial Army, adding up to several million.

   "But Her Royal Highness." Su Yu said earnestly: "The part of the military expenses you owe me can be waived, and I will provide the empire with the arms produced by Apsix City for free in the next year to enhance the combat effectiveness of the imperial army!"

   After all, the princess gave him a priceless [Gorgeous Plane Necklace], and it would be too stingy to not express it.

   "Thank you so much!" The Queen smiled:

   "The purpose of telling you about the financial situation is to let you and Tina scrape more oil from these small countries when you and Tina deal with them."

   "The commoners in these small countries don't have much money, so they shave more from their royal family and big nobles, and shave fiercely! Only when they go to beg for food will they have a long memory."

  The princess has not forgotten her original intention, and still upholds the character of loving the people like a child.

  Su Yu nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will try my best to squeeze the oil and water out of these small countries, so that they can understand the price of betrayal!"

   But after thinking about it, Su Yu felt that something was wrong:

   "However, if we confiscate the wealth of these small country aristocrats, these small country aristocrats will definitely increase taxes, and transfer the price to the commoners through heavy taxes, and ultimately the civilians of these small countries will be hurt."

  Alijie nodded thoughtfully: "You're right, I haven't thought of that."

"Let me tell you." Su Yu suggested: "While we confiscate the wealth of the nobles of these small countries, we must inform them that it is forbidden to increase taxes on the commoners for 5-10 years, let alone loot the property of the commoners. Once the above situation is discovered, the empire will The army will surely come to the city again, and we can harvest one more round."

  Ailijie touched her chin and thought for a while, and replied, "Okay, just do as you said! And this way, we can also gain the support of the civilians of these small countries and reduce the resistance we receive."

   "Ding, your main storyline has been updated! [Gorgeous Empire (86-95)/100]."

   "Task requirements: together with [Tina Garcia], attack the Kingdom of Kunke, the Kingdom of Leman, the Hills Commercial Federation and other countries, and confiscate the wealth with a total value of 30 billion psionic coins."

   "Task progress: 0/30 billion psionic coins."

   "Task reward: It is up to [Queen Elize] to decide at her own discretion. The more wealth reasonably confiscated, the more generous the task reward will be."

   After saying goodbye to the princess, Su Yu rushed towards the military camp outside the city.

In the large tent of the military camp, Su Yu met Tina who was handling military affairs, and told her what the princess meant.

   Learning of the princess' decision, Tina's eyes lit up: "Some time ago, I was still worried about the financial deficit of the empire. The family properties of the great nobles such as Maple Leaf City and Giant Rock City are simply not enough to fill the deficit. It turns out that Her Royal Highness has a solution!"

  Tina turned to look at her adjutant: "Fiona, notify all the senior generals, staff and [Antonidas], and have a meeting in the tent in half an hour."

   "Yes." Fiona bowed and saluted, then quickly left to convey the message.

  …

   Half an hour later, a meeting to formulate a battle plan was held in the military account.

  The generals in the Imperial Army came to the scene one after another, except those who could not leave.

   As for Antonidas, he is still under the control of the princess, and his [Group Teleportation] can play a vital role in future wars, so Tina also called him.

  In the military tent, these generals all looked surprised when they learned of the princess' decision. They didn't expect the princess to make such a bold decision.

   But no one objected, and indeed these traitors should be paid for.

   But a senior staff member named Lanster raised his concerns:

   "Lord Nemesis, I of course support that Her Royal Highness wants these small countries to pay the price. But I don't think it's appropriate for the plan you mentioned to strictly prohibit the nobles of these small countries from increasing taxes on the commoners."

   "Oh? What do you think is wrong?" Su Yu touched his chin and looked at him with interest.

   "It's such a nemesis Lord." Lanster sorted out his thoughts and said slowly:

   "Although the Empire has regained the entire territory of Gorse, the country is a mess after all. Compared with the peak period, the number of high-level powerhouses in the Empire is only a quarter of that at that time."

   "At this time, we'd better be able to rest, maintain relations with neighboring countries, try our best to maintain harmony, and avoid excessive conflicts."

   The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly: "Then what do you mean?"

  Lanster immediately replied: "My idea is to let these small countries make up all the tribute they have paid for the past 30 years immediately, and they must pay double as punishment."

   "Our troops can go to the borders of these small countries to make a fool of themselves and grab a few towns at will. In this way, our losses are almost negligible, and the effect is the best."
