This was also one of the reasons why after the establishment of the Maxim Empire, the Magic Council and the Eastern Gods Church unanimously launched a war against him.
From this incident, it can be seen that the next Four Emperors Summit will mainly focus on the Merox Empire and the Maxim Empire, with the United Magic Empire and the Eastern God Kingdom as the supplements.
The summit of the four emperors had just ended. Saint Peter and Leinsky I met, and the two nodded tacitly.
Late at night, the two parties met in the barrier set up by the Grand Magister. Worried that there was surveillance magic in the house they lived in, 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 accompanying them were at best mentor level, and behind them stood three powerful men at the great mentor level.
"You should have seen the clues!"
Saint Peter picked up the black tea and said helplessly.
He really didn't expect that in a meeting like the Four Emperors Summit, the Magic Council would actually be reduced to a supporting role.
With the rise of the Maxim Empire, the Magic Council and the Eastern Divine Church jointly attacked the Maxim Empire. Not to mention being blocked, the management of the Yadong subcontinent also completely fell.
The Merox Empire was established, and the three countries jointly attacked. This time, because the three countries sent troops, the Magic Council and the Eastern God's Church had hidden strength, and they also tricked the Maxim Empire many times.
But blocking the Three Kingdoms' attack is an indisputable fact.
Among them, the Magic Council was most depressed. Not only did they lose part of the say in the northern continent, but they also finally built up Moratti's defense line.
The Magic Council spent a lot of money and several years to build it.
"In the future, the Joint Council will definitely be headed by Maxim and Merox. We cannot sit still and wait for death."
When King Leinsky said this, his face was filled with bitterness.
In front of two rising stars with a history of less than twenty years, the Eastern Divine Sect and the Magic Council, two forces that have been inherited for hundreds of years, are reduced 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!"
King Leinsky's answer was also very straightforward, not at all as procrastinating as at the Four Emperors Summit, and then added: "After studying maritime trade in the past few years, I understand why that boy Foer is so obsessed with maritime trade security.
Agreement, shipping costs are low, and it can directly connect to three other continents. As long as four-way trade expands, this is also an opportunity for us."
St. Peter also expressed his intention.
"I have found a pattern from the business operations of Merlocks in the past few years. They like to dominate the market. In the end, they even use some dirty methods, such as magic grain seeds. You should have heard of it?"
King Leinsky I nodded. He had known about this aspect for a long time, and afterwards he had to admire the Merox Empire's methods and wisdom.
"They use herbicides as a basis to destroy cultivated land, making the land suitable only for cultivating their seeds, thereby forcing farmers to sign grain trade regulations with them. The only praiseworthy thing is that the Meroxians don't look as ugly as the Maxims.
.”
"Yes, the Merlocks are no worse than the Maxims in terms of business, but the Merlocks will give local businesses room to survive and will not kill them all. This is our only chance to trade the market for technology."
When Saint Peter spoke his mind, Leinsky fell silent.
Trading the market for technology seems good, but the future drawbacks are full of unknowns.
"We just need to firmly hold on to the controlled areas and ruled areas. We can set high taxes in those areas and prevent Merox's goods from flowing in. As long as we are given time, I believe that the United Empire will be able to produce products that are not inferior to those of the two
goods and weapons of the country.”
When St. Peter spoke of weapons, he deliberately added an accent, which made Leinsky I's heart flutter.
Weapons that King Leinski cared more about than commodities.
With the production of rifles and artillery, the Eastern God Sect has suffered a big loss. Rifles have not been able to be mass-produced and popularized independently, and the artillery is so inferior that soldiers dare not use it. There is a risk of exploding the chamber at any time.
This makes it easy for the Eastern Shinto Sect to be at a disadvantage in every war. This is also the reason why the Eastern Shinto Sect's active army is the smallest among the four countries.
It's not that they are unwilling to expand their military, but that their weapons and equipment cannot keep up.
"I suggest bringing Maxim in as well, so that both parties can monitor and compete with each other."
King Leinsky I gave a more complete idea.
Soon, the two countries, which have the longest history on the continent and have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and which can almost be described as a blood feud, secretly united under the force of the general trend.
Late at night on September 11th, Year 9 of the Merlot Calendar, during the Four Emperors Summit, the Magic Council and the Eastern Shinto Church signed the Merlot Secret Alliance Treaty.
In addition to sharing technology and deepening 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 by providing 400,000 troops each, and they are not allowed to make separate peace with the enemy.
.
Aslan naturally knew about the secret actions between the Eastern God's Cult and the Magic Council, and even knew about their late-night meeting.
It’s just that he didn’t know that the Merlot Secret Alliance Treaty, a historical event that changed the continent’s structure, was brokered right under his nose. He didn’t even expect that the two heads of state would be so courageous to sign this treaty without the approval of the parliament and the religious order.
.
I thought the two were just discussing how to maximize their interests in the future Four Emperors Summit.
Sometimes, simplifying things and making things more efficient makes it more difficult for people to understand and understand.
Aslan was at Mrs. Sharon's mansion, listening to Charlie's report and not paying too much attention.
“Stay tuned!”
"yes!"
Mrs. Sharon looked at Aslan with a reserved look. She was really ugly now, lest Aslan would be disappointed in her.
"I've worked hard on you during this time."
Aslan grabbed Mrs. Sharon's hand and said gently: "Charlie has told me that you are always in charge of the empire's intelligence and security work."
Mrs. Sharon's eyes were a little red, and all the hard work during this period was worth it.
"Your Majesty, I am also a part of the empire."
Aslan rubbed his palms that had become fatter.
"Are you still pregnant? It's better not to work too hard, rest more, and think more about the child."
Mrs. Sharon smiled and nodded, leaning back on the recliner. It was too hard for her to sit up straight now, and her belly was bigger than usual for pregnant women. It was even harder than when she was pregnant with Shani.
"Your Majesty, don't you have to go back tonight? Your Highness the Queen..."
Mrs. Sharon glanced at the time and warned her carefully.
Aslan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"She's busy right now. I probably won't see her in the next few days."
