Chapter 190: The siege of the city is not successful
Chapter 190 The siege failed
However, the situation is more serious than he said.
"We are surrounded by the sea on one side, the Gray Dragon Mountains on the other, and forests on the other. The land route can only pass through a few countries bordering us, but the relationship between us has always been very bad, and now is a good time for them to add insult to injury.
"
"Among all the countries, only the Hitchcock Empire did not express any opinion. He abstained from voting. The Tolkien Empire voted against it. He does not think that this kind of thing should happen with our country.
Fortunately, our two countries are connected by sea routes. Although we need to bypass other countries' waters, at least we can still trade food and minerals."
The more my father-in-law talked, the darker his face became, and it seemed that he would soon turn over the table.
"Besiege but not attack... You smart Hugo people, is this a siege?"
The report turned into fly ash in Wang Wei's hands with a loud bang, and scattered smoke and dust fell around Wang Wei. The surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
"Give me three days, you stay here first, and I will give you an answer after three days."
Wang Wei said.
"siege?"
Her Majesty the Queen murmured softly, and then looked at Wang Wei's father-in-law.
"Well, siege the city."
The Lion Duke said solemnly.
"Yes, this is the siege!"
Emperor Hugo said angrily to the military minister next to him.
"I want to turn Isaac into an isolated country! I want him to know that I am the person with the most say in the world. I make people regret, make them fear, and let their soldiers only wear clothes.
The leather armor is used as a battlefield, and the rusty weapons are waved in the hands. The burning crystal cannon can only fire gunpowder! I want them to return to the time when they just founded the country! Then, I want to make the entire Isaac into my province.
, let Lingnan County become our largest granary!"
The emperor's tone in the study was almost fanatical, and he seemed to be driven crazy by a certain man.
"But Your Majesty, won't our doing this cause a backlash from Isaac? Based on the information we have, it seems that the little queen is now completely under the control of that man. That man knows why we do this, in case
What if they are really inspired by that crazy man and really let the Ogg Knights see the light of day? With the ability of the legendary Ogg Knights, he is enough to cause considerable damage to us. Even if we are fully prepared, we will temporarily
We are not completely sure of stopping the power of the Ogg Knights."
The Minister of Military and Aircraft considers issues entirely from a military perspective.
"Org Knights?"
This name, which has always been used as a life-killing talisman in various countries, did not make Hugo's emperor stop his madness. His eyes were red, like an angry beast.
"That damn knighthood has already become a part of history. I don't know what tricks the little queen's father is playing, but I know that now our strategic magic can wipe them all off the map! Let's
That bastard knighthood is truly part of history!”
The emperor laughed, and it was terrifying.
"They will not have a chance. That man thinks he has everything under control, but he will never have a chance. He will know what a serious mistake he has made, and this mistake will cost him and his country together.
Disappear from this world!”

Wang Wei first spent two days in his dungeon, and all the technical staff held a meeting in the dungeon for two days. On the third day, Wang Wei rushed directly to the Imperial Capital and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He said one sentence directly, and then he returned to Gray Dragon Castle with the autograph letter written by the prime minister. When everyone saw him again, Wang Wei, whose face was covered with stubble, slammed the letter on the
On the table.
"Now let's discuss it together. I have a plan, a long-term plan. This plan is about land and protection fees."
Wang Wei said.
"do not really understand."
The Queen didn't quite understand the terms "territory" and "protection money" that had become lingua franca.
"You'll understand later."
Wang Wei now asked the Queen not to ask for any explanation.
"How much time do we have now?"
Wang Wei asked his father-in-law. He is in charge of the entire negotiation. The recent progress of the situation is under his control. Only he can give an accurate timetable.
"This is just an initial document. We have no doubt that those countries will implement these things on their own. In other words, we have no buffer time. Domestic ore merchants and some merchants engaged in import and export trade are all in chaos. They are the most
People who are easily affected, although they have blocked the trade of armaments and supplies, and general commerce is not restricted, the problem now is that the trade channels between us have been blocked. Our goods cannot be shipped out, and the goods from the outside world cannot be shipped.
Come in, both sides of the border are squeezing countless businessmen, and they are trying to wait for us to solve this crisis, but from now on, we don’t have any better solution for a while.”
The Grand Duke said.
"In other words, if the problem of businessmen is not solved as soon as possible, it is very likely that the problem will be caused by the absentee businessmen, which will eventually seriously affect the public sentiment."
The Queen added.
"Can we take the water route?"
Wang Wei asked.
"waterway?"
The Queen and the Grand Duke's eyes lit up at the same time.
"The waterway is naturally possible. Although the countries bordering us have closed their borders, it is impossible for other countries to do so. Since we can transport goods through the waterway, and we can also transport some large-volume trade directly to Tor
The Golden Empire. As an old empire with a long history, the Tolkien Empire has very developed transportation lines and extremely prosperous commercial trade, so the expenses incurred may not be much different from before."
Luna, who is the queen's assistant, said immediately.
"Well, Your Majesty, I need you to do a few things right away. The first is to get all the merchants waiting at the border to come back, tell them that you have found a new commercial route, stabilize their emotions, and then I
We need to know what the condition of the goods will be if we really ship by sea, and how much burden we need to carry to meet the needs."
Wang Wei said to the Queen.
The little queen immediately nodded in agreement. Tina, who had just become queen, lacked the ability to deal with emergencies one after another. He could only rely on the people closest to him.
"We must send an envoy immediately to talk to the Tolkien Empire. At this moment, we need their help, and I think they will help us. After all, they will definitely benefit from this matter."
The father-in-law added.
"Don't worry, I have sent an envoy. Today I have met with Aragorn, the eldest prince of the Tolkien Empire. He agreed to help us establish a new trade route."
Luna said with a smile.
"As expected of my wife, she is thoughtful and considerate."
Wang Wei gave a thumbs up and did not hesitate to praise him.
"Ahem!"
The father-in-law coughed hard twice, causing a man who didn't know how to deal with his busy schedule to redirect his attention to where it really should be.
"Even if you can really open up a waterway, do you want to use your warship to transport supplies? In such a short period of time, we simply cannot organize enough cargo ships. And even if we can
We found that most of our cargo ships are offshore, and we still have no way to deal with ocean-going cargo ships."
The problem that the Lion King is thinking about is quite comprehensive. Even if all the efforts of the country are being put into construction now, it will be half a year before it can be used. Is it possible to have a northwest wind at home in the past six months?
"You don't need to worry about this. You just need to negotiate with each other, and I will prepare the hardware equipment."
Wang Wei is quite confident.
"Well, since you said so, we'll see."
The father-in-law knows that as his son-in-law, there will always be some way. No matter what the way, he will definitely not let his own people suffer.
"Then there is the iron ore import problem that you are worried about. In fact, this problem is the best solution."
Wang Wei talked about the most important one.
Not being able to trade can be regarded as closing the country. For the domestic people, as long as domestic demand is increased and people's living needs are expanded, the danger is not serious. But things like ore, no matter what the ore is, are the lifeblood of the country, especially
In order to maintain a huge army, the demand for metals is very high. Without ores, there will be no metals. Once this metal-poor country stops importing ores, the supply of metals will immediately be tight. Once it reaches the point of using national reserves, then things will
will begin to move in the leading direction.
"Do you have a solution?"
Duke Fernando, who has always been in the military, is naturally worried about this the most.
"Do you still remember my sea elf city?"
Wang Wei said with a smile.
"Actually, the endless sea is a world full of wealth and surprises. I discovered this when I went to the world of the Sea Clan. The key is that the Sea Clan themselves didn't seem to realize that those ores could actually
Turned into metal. But I know that if we really talk about reserves, the difference between any country on the continent and the ocean is like a pit and a large mine."
Wang Wei threw a stone to his father-in-law.
"This was picked up from the seabed. In the ocean, mining is much simpler than on the mainland. I have discovered at least dozens of large mineral deposits, but the Sea Clan is still worried about the uselessness of those things.
And worry about it. We can purchase these ores at very low prices, process some of the metals into tools and provide them to the sea people. We can also pay them a certain amount of compensation and allow them to go ashore on the coast to buy what they like."
