Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1835 Chapter 1836 thinks so

Lions II was originally a less upright emperor. His father, Lions I, the first emperor of the Lions Empire, was still retiring in the Tang Empire.

The Lions II secretly reached a deal with the Tang Empire at that time and asked the Tang Empire to help "kill" his father. Only then did he successfully ascend to the throne and become the second in command of the Lions Empire. emperor.

Of course, Lions II himself did not know this, or he was not sure whether his father was still alive. This has become a worry for him, a worry that always makes him uneasy.

Now, many problems are faced by Lions II: If the Tang Empire really has his handle, he may not be able to secure his current position by then.

Another serious problem is that the emperor himself only succeeded to the throne when the Lions Empire was on the decline. This kind of emperor who came to power against the wind was actually not able to fully control the situation in many cases.

Many of the ministers left behind by his father controlled a lot of real power. They might be able to take orders under Lions I, but they didn't pay much attention to Lions II.

For example, the previous prime minister of the Lions Empire had always been a thorn in the side of Lions II. Ryans II has not been busy with anything else in these years. He has put almost all his energy on cleaning up the group of important officials left behind by his father.

It took a lot of effort to clean up the court, but as a result, along with his stupidity and willfulness, the national power of the entire Lions Empire became even weaker.

There is no way, after all this hard work, if the national power can still flourish, then it will really be a ghost.

Originally, the Lions Empire had a relatively good foundation among the many empires in the Eastern Continent. It inherited the best parts of the Datang Group and owned industrial zones such as Bunas and Yucheng that were second only to the Datang Empire in terms of technology.

But no matter how strong the foundation is, it can't withstand the disasters caused by the two emperors of Lions... Lions I personally went on a personal expedition and led the navy to attack Dragon Island but failed, almost losing all the essence that Lions had accumulated over the years.

That is a modern navy with many aircraft carriers and a large number of warships. To build such a navy, the investment over many years is so huge that it is unimaginable. As a result, this navy was completely wiped out in one battle, and Lions I himself became a prisoner of the Tang Empire.

So many talents accumulated over the years have become cannon fodder. Once the fleet that a country has vigorously built is destroyed, the most important thing is that the backbone of the empire disappears overnight. How can this prevent the collapse of the Lions Empire?

Lions II, who inherited the throne of Lions, was already much worse than his father. He became even more coquettish and focused his main energy on internal fighting and killing the old officials of the former dynasty left behind by his father.

Building a palace is actually just a manifestation of Lions II's extravagant desires. The underlying logic is that he hopes to use the building of a palace to rectify his name, to cover up his guilty conscience of improper access to the throne, and at the same time to screen obedient ministers and cultivate himself. With his wings, he suppressed those old ministers who disobeyed him.

No matter how correct his reasons were, the final result was that the national strength of the Lions Empire began to weaken. After the failed sneak attack on Dragon Island, it collapsed and has not recovered until now.

In order to consolidate his power, he recruited new people on a large scale. In order to ensure that these new subordinates were loyal to him, he even tolerated their greed and incompetence.

In such an environment, the empire's bureaucracy became increasingly decadent and mediocre, which directly caused the collapse of the Lynes Empire's administrative capabilities.

The weakening of national power in turn put the imperial power of Lions II in crisis. The people generally miss the time when Lions I was in power: at least at that time, everyone could barely live a life, but now they are almost out of breath from the complicated taxes and various changes in the law. Originally, the entire empire was still supported by the army, and no matter how you looked at it, it could still manage to survive for a while. However, with the failure of the two century battles to support the Ice Empire and the Poplar Empire, the expeditionary force assembled by the Lines Empire was completely lost, which once again made the Lines Empire worse.

The already dilapidated imperial structure began to collapse as the army lost millions of troops in foreign lands. Problems that could be repaired and pasted before have now surfaced.

The entire empire is in an atmosphere of defeat. Nearly two million troops have left without returning, which has depressed the country to the extreme.

Now, the elite troops of the Lines Empire guarding the home led by Paul suffered another defeat in Bunas, and Lines II's nervous heartstrings became tense again.

Listening to the ministers arguing in front of him, Lions II's sensitive nerves began to beat. He now looked at everyone as if they were traitors who were not loyal to him, and everyone felt that the other party was planning a rebellion against him.

Last night, he even dreamed about his father. In the dream, his father turned into a ghost and came to judge him for his crime of killing his father and usurping the throne.

He was so frightened that he started between the two women, and his nightgown was soaked with cold sweat. Then he drove away all the concubines who were sleeping with him because he always felt that someone was trying to kill him.

He hadn't slept well all night, and now he was being noisy by a group of ministers, so he slapped the table in annoyance and shouted to silence the entire venue.

As a result, this silence made Ryans II feel embarrassed. Everyone looked at him, waiting for him, the emperor, to speak.

What made it difficult for Ryans II to get off the stage was that he was not prepared to speak at all. He just burst out suddenly because he had a splitting headache from the noise just now.

"Telegraph Paul to immediately retreat to Jade City to deploy a defense line! No matter what, we must hold there! Fight until the last soldier and not retreat!" After holding on for a long time, Lions II finally refused to accept his failure and squeezed out. Such an order came out.

Of course, he was not willing to give up his throne to others. After all, this was something he had paid the price of "parricide". He hasn't tasted the sweetness of power enough, how could he just hand it over so casually?

At least, that's what he decided before Tamaki was lost...

After hearing his order, the chattering ministers all shut their mouths. Most of them got to their current position by holding on to Lions II's lap. They don't know how much they are capable of, but they know how their power comes from.

Now that the emperor decided to struggle a little longer, they could continue to mess around.

At least, that's what they thought before Yucheng was lost...
