The minister in charge of the economy did not see the ugly face of his Majesty the Emperor, and continued to complain to the surrounding ministers.
His spit almost flew into the other party's face, but the other party still listened with interest and nodded his head from time to time, agreeing with the economic minister's views.
Just listen to the Minister of Economic Affairs talking non-stop: "The problem is, if you give it away, you will give it away. In fact, we are not short of those territories. What we really care about is that this time the Elf Empire merges with the Elanthil Empire, let Ge Ge
Rickon has a real border with Elland Hill, and this is the most disadvantageous thing for us!"
Originally, there were two westbound railways in Eilandhir, one was the old railway line that passed through the Elven Territory, and the other was the new railway line that passed through the Eternal Empire to Grecken.
These two railway lines transport countless export materials every day, most of which are Irish products imported by Grecken.
Because the elves also levy tariffs, no matter which transportation line Airan Hill takes to export goods to Grecken, they have to pay a transit tariff. The Eternal Empire and the Elf Empire share this tariff equally. For the Eternal Empire, which has no way to make money,
To put it bluntly, this is also a large amount of revenue for the national treasury.
But now the problem has become serious. The elves took the territory lent to them by the Eternal Empire and defected to Elland Hill. The issue of territorial ownership is easy to say, because Ireland has a direct border with the largest importing country, Grecken!
In other words, Eiland Hill no longer needs to pay any transit tariffs to the Eternal Empire, and the tariff that supports the Eternal Empire's treasury revenue has disappeared!
How can you tolerate this kind of thing? This is simply too much! Some ministers' faces became ferocious when they heard that the treasury revenue would be reduced by a large amount of money.
"Yes, not only have we lost the ownership of the westward railway, we have also lost our tariff competitiveness. This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to our empire's tax revenue!" Not far away from the Minister of Economic Affairs, the Minister of Commerce was also there.
Keep pouring out the bitter water.
Once the blessing of tariffs is lost, some small businesses and light industries just established by the Eternal Empire will be doomed.
In normal competition, without the protection of tariffs, it is impossible for the goods produced by the light industry and handicrafts of the Eternal Empire to compete with the dumped goods of the Eilanhir Empire.
The production costs, production scale, and even product quality of both parties are not at the same level at all. If one day the two parties really become in a direct competitive relationship, the industrial system just established by the Eternal Empire will be wiped out in an instant.
Even a fool knows that this is not as simple as a loss of customs revenue. This is a complete collapse that includes the country’s initial investment and will ruin everything!
In just a few weeks, the economy of the Eternal Empire will be destroyed by an invisible war, countless wealth will evaporate, and finally, including the royal family, no one will be left with even a pair of underwear...
The most irritating thing is that the root of all this is that the elves borrowed the land and refused to return it, and gave all the borrowed land to Eiland Hill!
How can there be such a truth in the world? You borrowed something from someone else without thinking of returning it, and you gave it away when you borrowed something in vain!
An angry minister clenched his fists and looked like he was about to fight to the death: "None of you think that, including the Westward Railway, it is the sovereignty of our eternal empire! Just handing it over to others is simply taking away the inheritance of our ancestors.
It’s a child’s play!”
"This is... this is..." The general of the Eternal Empire, who had just spoken loudly, choked for a moment with that familiar and hot word in his mouth.
Everyone knew, and everyone could guess from his previous pronunciation, that what this general wanted to say was the word war. But everyone chose to ignore this word, and also ignored the general who wanted to say this word.
I don’t even think about it, whether it’s the elves or Ailan Hill, who is afraid of the Eternal Empire launching a war? Not to mention that Ailan Hill will end up personally, it is against the elves, and the civilians of the Eternal Empire will receive the second generation ID card of Ailan Hill.
The day is not far away.
Or to put it another way, if these two scoundrels didn’t take the initiative to start a war, it would have been the manifestation of the ancestors of the Eternal Empire...
Therefore, everyone will avoid certain topics when discussing such issues, just like a few students will not mention their father, vacation homework, and class teacher when they are studying how to play online games during the vacation.
"Would you like to take note of the ambassador of the Elanthir Empire... They can't ignore the feelings of our Eternal Empire and do such a thing!" Suddenly, a young minister shouted.
The entire hall fell silent instantly, and even His Majesty the Emperor blocked everyone's gaze with his hand on his forehead.
Isn't it a joke to expect that the diplomat in Ellandhill, that bastard named Strider, will be reasonable?
What those group of cutthroats love to do most is to lie down on the ground and say, "Chop me into pieces. Our army will avenge me and it will be famous!"
Why not be more direct when trying to reason with these lunatics? Kneel down in front of the Royal Palace of the Ilancire Empire. Emperor Chris of the Ilancire Empire may even try to gain some face. These diplomats from the Ilancire Empire are...
It’s really shameless!
"A note to the Ambassador of Greken to our country! A note to the Ambassador of the Norma Empire to our country! A note to the Ambassador of the New Puppet Empire to our country... In addition, send someone to contact the Dragon Clan and the Orc Clan!" Thinking of this, the Emperor of the Eternal Empire stood up and frowned.
He ordered with a frown.
"A piece of territory is small, but the meaning behind this matter is big!" He looked down at his ministers and said word by word: "Today these empires don't care about our life or death, but tomorrow they will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death like us.
!”
"I hope they understand the meaning of lips and teeth, and give us justice in this matter!" At this point, he put his hands on his back, opened his legs, walked down the steps, passed the ministers, and walked out of the meeting hall.
Behind him, the ministers gathered around the long conference table began to argue again. This is what they are best at, and it is also their method of solving problems or delaying them.
Because communication methods are improving with each passing day, and because the communication satellites above our heads have covered almost every corner of the planet Airansiel, the news that the Elf Empire has merged with Airansiel spread throughout the world within a few hours.
After accepting the dwarves, Elanthir also accepted the elves. This multi-ethnic empire made all other forces feel unprecedented pressure.
