Chapter 1184 The provocative tongue (first update)
The emperor and the guards in power armor stood at the steps of the main entrance of the castle. Two 20-meter-high war engines stood on the left and right. A full company of Hell Knights stood on the red carpet behind the emperor and the guards.
On both sides, they were wearing ceremonial armor with many decorations added. For mortals, the MK2 Mars-type bolter, which could be regarded as a large-caliber anti-material weapon, was neatly held on the chest, and the magnetic attraction on the waist was
The armed belts are all equipped with a sheathed energy sword that is as tall as a person instead of a cheaper chain sword. The lower edge of the shoulder armor and the top of the leg armor, which are used to display military rank and unit affiliation, are equipped with ceremonial eagles and lightning bolts.
Decorations such as laurel wreaths and oak leaf wreaths, and helmets were all replaced with centurion-style blood-red feathers.
The leader of the flag bearer held an eagle flag with a golden eagle sculpture on the top. These more ritually dressed Hell Knights only wore plasma pistols, but wore blood-red cloaks symbolizing war. The entire honor guard showed
The overall style is gold and red. The power armor of the Emperor and the Praetorian Guards, even the flags hanging on the war engines and the decoration on the outer armor are also in the same style, which runs counter to the high-tech simplicity that the world loves.
Therefore, when the envoys led by Su Rui walked onto the red carpet and shook hands with the emperor, the contrast between the two different styles was extremely strong. However, no one would have an objection to Latovinia's highly artistic style, because
All Wakandans still clearly remember the consequences of those Hell Knights joining the Wakanda civil war. Even if they have not seen the Hell Knights with their own eyes before, the red carpet surrounded by giants at this moment has also brought extreme excitement to the Wakandans.
Under great psychological pressure, ordinary people have to raise their heads to see the mechanical lock on the lower edge of the Hell Knight's helmet when looking at the genetically modified warriors.
The weather in the capital of Latvinia was too sunny. Su Rui caught a glimpse of the repaired spire at the top of the castle, which was almost black under the halo of the excessively blue sky. The originally gray-black giant building had thrown away the gloom of the past, because of the plants planted on the wall.
The deciduous plants bring a touch of brightness. August and September are the best seasons for traveling in the Balkans. The Wakanda mission comes at the right time. The humid and hot summer has come to an end, and the dry and cool autumn is coming. This season is also the time to taste Hungary.
Good season for Tokagiosu sweet wine, a specialty of the province, and Romanian wines.
Everyone who knew the emperor knew that he loved strong liquors, so he preferred the palinka brandy made by everyone in every Hungarian province to the soft sweet wine of Tokagiosu. Common people in all Hungarian provinces
Through the media, everyone knew that the emperor had to have a glass of home-brewed, undiluted Palinka brandy every morning after morning exercises, and then be full of energy to deal with official duties or fights - this news was concocted by the Information Department of the Government Affairs Council. The Emperor
Although he likes spirits, he does not limit the type. The photo taken in that news was taken in a public place. The civilians of the Hungarian province saw the emperor in the camera still alive and kicking after drinking a large glass of 50% brandy. Stephanie Malik
In this way, he created an image of a strong leader and an approachable person.
Drinking this favorite spirit of Hungarians will help those populists regard the emperor as one of their own, thus reducing the resistance to reforms in Hungary. All actions and decisions taken in the position of the emperor are for politics.
Country and ideal service, even his lunch in public must choose Romanian spirits uic. This is one of the few pleasures brought by the crown. After all, the spirits provided to the castle are rare treasures.
"I'm glad you can come, Princess Shuri." The emperor smiled and shook hands with the person in charge of the Wakanda mission. "The castle has prepared a banquet for Wakanda. I really hope Wakanda
Masters can get along well with Latvian people. Two countries in the world that are capable and ideal and committed to human progress should work closely together."
All these polite words were caught on camera. Before the banquet began, the Emperor and Stephanie Malick still had many issues to discuss with the Wakanda envoy. These conversations were not allowed to be recorded by the media. Wakanda
Many contracts have been reached with Latovinia, one of which is to work with the Mars Foundry and the Eternal City to re-establish a civilian high-speed network system throughout the territory to replace the old network system in the Balkans. This cooperation will
Three state-owned communication companies will be established, respectively affiliated with Wakanda, the Immortal City and the Mars Foundry, as well as a large number of factories that produce equipment necessary for the information industry, which can solve the employment problems of different classes.
This alone can bring a steady stream of income to Wakanda, not to mention the engine manufacturing and civilian metal processing industries brought by other hovercraft companies. Latovini has an entire Mars as its industrial backing.
Asia does not need to endure the advantages and disadvantages brought by the globalized economy.
Thanks to the advantages brought by the decapitation strike in the first expansion war, Latovinia has now initially got rid of the food problem through the grain harvest in the Romanian province, and even has the ability to use this card to push up food prices in Europe.
As the capital of the international political game, Western Europe is forced to trade with Latvinia. The oil that has been reformed and cleaned has also been completely stopped for export due to Latvinia's own needs, and Wakanda's advanced exploration technology is used for deep mining, with the intention of
Unintentionally working with allies to push up European energy prices in exchange for a say in international politics.
Wakanda will receive a large amount of grain exports from Romania in exchange for part of the industrial production line. This is another conspiracy between the emperor and the industrial aristocrats of the Golden Tribe, and is one of the means to accelerate Wakanda's industrial expansion. This generous
The benefits generated by the contract satisfy all Wakanda aristocrats. Even the agricultural aristocrats who were weakened by the terms are able to obtain biochemical farm technology from Latovinia-including genetic engineering technology such as genetically modified crop cultivation.
On the other hand, Latvinia has gone further than Wakanda - happy to be able to create more valuable agricultural products, completely unaware of the impact that the changes brought about by these terms will have on Wakanda.
They were even less likely to notice the whispers between the emperor and Princess Su Rui, who had changed into civilian clothes during the banquet.
"Controlling the food means controlling the country." The emperor raised his glass and whispered, "Wakanda's centralization of power relies on religious legitimacy. If religious legitimacy is lost, the blood of the Fourth Dynasty will also lose its rule.
Legal principles have lost the basis for binding tribal politics. Food is more sacred than religious legitimacy, because hungry people will not want to listen to priests' sermons. I sincerely suggest that my allies can replace the basis of rule with a more solid foundation, such as in
Agricultural production outside royal control.”
"I never knew your tongue was so good at provocation," Su Rui said.
"This is just a suggestion, my friend." The emperor still kept smiling, "I believe that there have been a large number of rulers in Wakanda's history who have tried to solve this problem, but an alliance of interests composed of industry, commerce, and agriculture is all that matters.
An existence that the Black Panther cannot challenge. No matter who is sitting on the throne, this alliance of interests is so unbreakable, they are the uncrowned king."
"You are still provoking."
"But you heard it, didn't you?" The emperor began to fill up his and Su Rui's goblets. Romanian wine was the main drink of this banquet. This news will be sent to the official media and private individuals to gain this
The honorary wine merchant will have the right to put a laurel crown on the wine label for one year. If you want to renew the contract after one year, you must bring your best wine to participate in the competition and win. "Everything I said
Every word becomes fine wine in your brain, affecting you and pushing you to think." He said, "There is no fortress that cannot be broken down in this world. I am willing to help my allies, and coincidentally, I am also a Watt.
The industrial noble of Kanda, and the most powerful one."
