This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 830 Xilan’s “Last Emperor” (1/2)

Shortly before the most important festival of the year for the people of Wilant, two major events took place in the port of Kim Clan on the east coast of Borneo.

The first thing is that the head office of Jinlun Port Bank issued a risk warning for the transaction of Xilan Coin, and restricted related financial instruments and currency exchange channels to strictly prevent the occurrence of systemic financial risks.

To put it simply, those who speculate in foreign exchange cannot use leverage. Private depositors holding Xilan coins will be advised by their account managers to sell out as soon as possible.

At the same time, the trade management department also issued a notice to suspend all export business settled in Xilan currency, while import business will not be affected.

This incident caused a huge uproar among the upper class in Jinlun Port, especially those who held a lot of Xilan coins.

As for the vast majority of working-class people, they have not been affected in any way.

After all, Qilun is anchored to silver coins, not Xilan coins. The rise and fall of that thing will affect the lives of many locals in a short period of time.

In contrast, what they are more interested in is the first thing——

That is, the exclusive interview by Jin Qianlun Gang of "Surviving Day Daily" with Emperor Xilan, Wu Tuo.

Compared to the previous serious topic, this first thing is full of comedy from beginning to end.

The two parties met on the royal merchant ship. Before the interview, Wu Tuolin suddenly changed his mind and asked the "Survivor Daily" reporter team to kneel down for the interview on the grounds of Xilan Law.

Of course, the queen couldn't get used to him, so she had an idea and hired a Valantian actor from the Grand Theater.

As expected, when the wizard saw the big nose, he immediately beamed with joy, as if he were seeing his own father, and politely asked the other party to sit down and chat.

The interview went well.

On one side, the script was memorized as if the lines were perfectly memorized, while on the other side, the script was acted out on the spot, with both sides frequently making false claims, and it was full of comedy from beginning to end.

After the interview, "Survivor Daily" published a special issue on the same day, reporting on this "dialogue of the century."

However, perhaps because the "Kneel down!" episode offended the editorial team of the newspaper, the editor who wrote the article rather maliciously used the word "The Last Emperor" in the title.

Fortunately, Wu Tuo only read the "Special Report" sent by Duke Qi Lava. The people below did not dare to show it to him after seeing this treasonous title, otherwise he might be angry and suffer internal injuries, causing What diplomatic dispute.

Not long after the special issue was released, people who were satisfied with their curiosity gradually lost interest in this emperor.

The guy riding on the heads of the surviving people in Borneo turned out to be just such a thing.

Objectively speaking, he may indeed be a little better than ordinary people. He doesn't have many people, not even as good as the nouveau riche who got rich through demolition in Jinlun Port.

Talking about military theory, he vividly described the rules on the beast fighting chessboard. When it comes to international strategy, he uses monkeys and dogs in the zoo to "simplify the complex" and render the Weiland temporary workers who interview him speechless.

As for the future of the empire.

Everything will be fine when the battleships of the South China Sea Alliance are delivered!

Some things are not afraid of being touched together, but they are afraid of being exposed to the light.

People who read the special issue were disappointed, and felt sorry for the four people who bought the newspaper.

With this kind of money, sitting in a teahouse and listening to it would be much more exciting than this!

However, it is precisely because of this special issue of 4 Qianlun that people finally saw Wu Tuo's "face" clearly.

In the future, no matter how secretly those old guard say that the emperor of Xilan is actually as wise as a fool and unfathomable, with unknown magical powers and big plans behind him, not many normal people will believe those nonsense.

At this moment, Wu Tuo was not aware of the public opinion outside, but he was very satisfied that there were no longer so many people watching the fun by the river.

There were fewer people on the riverside, so he finally dared to open the window to get some air. He even put the dining table on the deck and held a banquet to entertain the nobles and elders of Jinqilun Port to win over people's hearts.

All the nobles above the baron level in Jinqilun Port accepted his invitation, but the response was mediocre.

Those big nobles have either moved away, or are doing well, and it is impossible to see him even to avoid suspicion.

For example, Sheriff Bihaji.

Not to mention whether he could go, he even wanted to shove the invitation letter and title into the water, so as to completely erase the imprint of the empire on himself.

In the end, those who attended the appointment were all unsatisfied nobles.

Most of them are people who have been severely left behind by the wheel of the times. Although they may have something in their stomach, they refuse to put down their body and work. .

It is precisely because of this that when they stood on the deck of the royal merchant ship wearing the most expensive dresses in the wardrobe and looked at their Emperor, the great and beautiful "Nihak Era" seemed to be in front of them again.

At this moment, almost everyone could not help but burst into tears and wished they could throw themselves on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Do you remember us?"

"We miss you so much, Your Majesty!"

"Come quickly!"

"The Alliance is nothing! Wow, oh, oh, you don't know what they did to us!"

"We are so miserable!"

"My lords, please get up quickly. It's me who has made you suffer." Standing in front of everyone with a pitiful expression, Wu Tuo stepped forward and raised his hands, trying to help everyone up.

Looking at the tearful nobles, he had an unbearable expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

Even if it proves that the Alliance is a piece of shit, it doesn't prove that the Empire is a piece of shit. He just likes to hear this if he can't stand it.

After all, the more miserable they cry and the deeper the pain, the more it proves that he is right.

After some whimpering greetings, Wu Tuo asked his servants to invite them to the banquet.

As for himself, he sat at the head seat of the banquet and watched the chef hired from the Triumph Hotel nod to indicate that the dishes could begin.

Lines of dining carts quickly rolled onto the deck, and all the delicacies placed on them were delicious.

All the nobles and elders gulped as they watched, staring at the waiters serving the dishes with eyes wide open, wanting to pounce on them and grab them with their hands.

Wu Tuo was very satisfied with this meal, as if he had made up for all the grievances he had suffered along the way.

After three rounds of drinking, all the officials were a little drunk, and some even lay on the table and snored.

Seeing that the food was almost done, Wu Tuo suddenly got up due to his drunkenness and raised his glass to the wine.

"Listening to your complaints, I feel very distressed in my heart. It's all because of Alaya's inability to defend against the enemy, which has made you feel wronged!"

After a pause, he said again.

"That's it! When the situation calms down, would you like to follow me to Tiandu? I and I promise that all the past matters will be wiped out, and you will still be my most loyal servants!"

After the words fell, there was silence on the deck, and even the loud snoring stopped.

Those guys who were crying with snot and cursing the alliance before were suddenly all silent now, as if they were mute.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting colder, Prince Dilip quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, smiling awkwardly.

"Everyone, eat the food, eat the food! You have been wronged because you don't have enough food to eat. Today, His Majesty is treating you. Don't be polite. Eat more!"

Hearing this voice, the nobles who had their heads buried seemed to have been cured of their muteness, and they all started to praise him.

"Your Majesty is generous!"

"That alliance is so stingy! Just giving me a small amount of compensation for stealing my house is not as broad-minded as His Majesty!"

"Hey... I really miss Grand Duke Nihak all the time! I wonder if he is well in the Nanman Sea!"

"...Come quickly! We miss you so much, Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere at the scene became heated again.

Those down-and-out nobles poured out their bitterness again, with runny noses and tears.

As for going to Tiandu, no one mentioned it.

They seemed to be drunk, but each one was soberer than the other, and each one became a human spirit.

Wu Tuo looked unhappy. He was drinking alone and wanted to have an attack, but he didn't know where to start.

They are all good words, who should be scolded?

Unable to stand the hypocritical atmosphere, he snorted coldly after seeing enough of the coldness and warmth of human nature, stood up from the table and left...

The crying and weeping sounds continued one after another, but they sounded like laughter and laughter among the drinks.

And that crazy sound of laughter was even more harsh and unpleasant than crying...

Finally paying attention to His Majesty, the drunk Prince Dilip quickly wiped his mouth and raised his glass in a toast.

"Your Majesty, you can't bear to drink. Please drink to your heart's content, drink to your heart's content!"

The nobles, whose mouths were full of oil and whose bellies were round, didn't care. They even forgot that the person they missed had left the table and burped one after another.

"Praise Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wu Tuo held a grand banquet on the Yongliu River, but the empire was in chaos without the emperor.

It wasn't because the Heavenly King's army broke down the city gate of Tiandu, but because no one thought that Wu Tuo actually made a show of "making an attack in the east and attacking in the west".

This is the king of a country!

How can there be any reason to treat ministers like monkeys like this?

As the interview was published in the newspapers and a special issue of "Survival War Daily" was published, the news that Wu Tuo was in Jinqilun Port spread immediately.

The three northern states who were busy welcoming His Majesty were the first to be dumbfounded, especially when they saw that the person coming was the Crown Prince. The people who followed the emperor's etiquette to pick him up were immediately confused.

The warlord of Huzhou and Baozhou on the edge of Jinlun Port even shouted, "F*ck!" He didn't expect that he would be tricked by his own emperor!

In fact, when it comes to rebellion, they may not have even thought about it, at least not at all at the moment.

After all, given the current state of the empire, which is full of holes, whoever becomes the emperor will be roasted on the fire. Wouldn't it be nice to be a local emperor who says nothing?

However, although they had no thoughts of rebellion, they had to be wary of their neighbor, who was also a warlord, who had evil intentions and hijacked the emperor to play some clever tricks.

Now that the emperor slipped through their territory without saying a word, the two warlords became uneasy.

The emperor no longer trusts them.

The entire city was surrounded, and it was impossible to expect continued military pay.

The empire has no time to take care of them at the moment, but it won't be possible until the empire frees up its hands.

So are they rebelling or not?

The Tigers and Black Panthers, who were just busy making a fortune in silence, had to face this real problem at this moment.

Just when the entire empire was at a loss because of Wu Tuo's arrogant manipulation, Dawn City, thousands of kilometers away, had a unique scenery.

The first Wasteland Survival Equipment Expo officially came to an end and was widely praised by wastelanders, with sales of 1 billion silver coins!

All surviving forces that have been certified by the Alliance and abide by the Basic Convention can purchase military equipment according to the diplomatic level to fight against predatory and mutant forces.

The alliance's military factories will even provide professional and customized services based on the customer's coordinates and actual needs.

For example, installing fixed turrets on fences, installing patrol drones near production facilities, etc.

In the past, with the purchasing power of the surviving people around the alliance, it would have been almost impossible to afford these high value-added gadgets.

Even if the alliance's banks loaned them money, it would be impossible for them to repay it given their financial situation.

However, in the past year, the alliance has been continuously upgrading its industry with the support of the technical personnel attracted by the alliance to Dawn City.

During this process, the alliance itself also "transitioned" a lot of relatively outdated production equipment to partners who were relatively reliable but not yet developed.

For example, Golden Gallen Port is the most typical example.

Although the early Golden Gallen Port was poor, it received a large amount of investment with the support of Baiyue Company and quickly took over the alliance's production line, which was moving to the Silver Moon Bay area at the time.

This includes sugar production, winemaking, cotton spinning, clothing, agricultural machinery, bicycles and even exoskeleton accessories, etc.

Although the added value of these industries is not high, it is just right for Golden Gallen Port, which has a dense labor force and a relatively low education rate.

Of course, Golden Gallon Port, which has made a fortune from the alliance, cannot only enter but not exit, and the alliance's game rules cannot allow it to play like this.

In addition to being used to repay the first-term loan and to earn interest on the silver coin bonds issued by the Alliance Bank, a considerable part of this money was also spent on imported goods.

佴As one of the high value-added products, arms account for a considerable proportion of them.

In addition to Golden Gallon Port, other settlements including Luoxia Province, Southern Sea Area, Eastern Provinces, etc. are actually the same, carrying out similar circulation of currency and goods.

When these surviving settlements that have become rich through the alliance improve their lives with silver coins, they naturally don't mind spending a little money to upgrade their security measures to avoid being noticed by outside predators.

In addition to those individual purchase orders, there are also some individual buyers.

After all, compared to the high-tech products produced by companies that are difficult to maintain, the simple and good weapons produced by the alliance are quite popular among wastelanders.

However, several groups from enterprises also sold a lot of good products at the exhibition.

For example, Endpoint Group’s wearable smart devices, Changge Group’s military exoskeletons and prosthetics, and Kangmao Group’s bionic humans, etc.

Most of these equipment were bought by players from the alliance, accounting for 30% of the total transaction share of the entire exhibition.

As a special guest, Chu Guang also attended the exhibition, although he didn't buy anything.

He himself has no need to change equipment. The alliance's equipment is purchased through more professional channels, so he doesn't have to pick and choose at this exhibition.

Moreover, they usually don’t just take out the really good stuff.

For example, the P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft that showed its talents in the Battle of North Island, and the L-10 "Thunder" fighter jets, etc.

After chatting with old friends from the company at the exhibition, Chu Guang was about to go see what new work Brother Mosquito had done, but suddenly received a video call request from the Alliance Foreign Minister Yan Yan, so he went to the rest next to the convention and exhibition center. room.

"Xiaoqi, watch the door for me."

"okay."

After hearing Chu Guang's instructions, Xiao Qi replied enthusiastically, and then immediately connected to the surveillance system of the convention and exhibition center to ensure that no one was listening nearby.

As for Chu Guang, he skillfully took out a holographic computer pen from his arms, placed it on the coffee table, and unfolded the light blue holographic image.

The convention and exhibition center is crowded, so it’s better to be careful.

What's more, this matter is of great concern.

Although the video call has not been connected yet, Chu Guang has roughly guessed what his foreign minister is going to report...

as expected.

As soon as the call was connected, Yan Yan spoke urgently.

"...According to the information we have obtained through diplomatic channels, the Empire has officially requested help from the Legion! A team of ten thousand people is departing from Triumph City on an airship to West Sail Port. It is not yet certain which team it is and where it comes from. Which legion."

"Although their dispatch of troops was within our expectations, I am worried that the legion will use this as an excuse to expand the war, and even take the opportunity to annex the entire Borneo Province... The Southern Army and the Eastern Army are in conflict, and the former controlled Evernight Port It’s not too far away from Saifan Port, and they have always had the ambition to conquer the East, and they have the realistic conditions to dominate Saifan Port and even the entire Borneo Province!”

"There are currently two resistances they are facing. One is the opposition from within the legion, that is, the opposition from the Civil Service Corps. According to the argument provided by Bennot, Saifan Port and the Province of Borneo are technically the Civil Service Corps of Triumph City. The group's sphere of influence...but their voices seem to be suppressed at present."

Chu Guang nodded.

"It's easy to see, after all, so many people died."

"Indeed..."

Qian Yan smiled bitterly, nodded, and continued talking.

"The second resistance faced by the Southern Legion comes from that ancient contract. There is no need for me to repeat this to you. You should know that a long time ago, the Legion and the Enterprise agreed on their respective obligations under the witness of the Great Rift Valley and the Academy. The sphere of influence, especially the expansion scope of the legion...that is, the legion shall not directly control the territory east of the Great Desert under any circumstances."

"But in fact, you also know that the Legion's commitment is like the toilet paper. They have been rubbing on the edge of the red line. For example, the Falcon Kingdom is controlled by the Eastern Legion in the form of a vassal. As for Sails Port, although the Legion is nominally in There is no military presence in the area, but there are actually some people stationed there, but not on a large scale."

After listening to the clues provided by Qi Yan, Chu Guang thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.

"Actually, I have been reviewing the whole thing in the past few days. Is it possible... This is a farce directed and performed by the people of Valant."

"You're on to the point!"

Qian Yan gave a thumbs up in praise, but quickly restrained his inappropriate frivolity and continued speaking cautiously.

"Actually, don't tell me that you think so... Benoit told me the same thing. There are no troops under the direct control of the civilian regiment, and there are always people who are thinking about the cake in their hands. He always feels that things are not that simple. Maybe someone Doing something wrong."

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

And it's not low.

After all, the strength of the Civil Service Corps is too weak, and the cake in their hands is easy to miss. It just so happens that the Corps is in a very embarrassing stage - that is, this behemoth designed for war has already It has been a long time since we continued to expand.

For a militaristic country, this is almost unthinkable.

If the Heavenly King's Army is the avalanche of Borneo, then they are the avalanche that sweeps across the entire wasteland. There is no saying that they will stop wherever they hit.

The eastward expansion faction does not only exist in the Eastern Legion.

There must obviously be similar factions in the Southern Legion. The Evernight Port standing on the central axis of the great desert is the best proof.

That settlement was located on the red line drawn by the "ancient contract", and an entire army of ten thousand people was stationed there for a long time.

That settlement is like the bridge of the Weiland people's nose. They reject the War and Construction Committee from the bottom of their hearts. Whether it is the order once decided by the queen, or the contract signed under the leadership of the queen.

However, this is just Chu Guang's guess.

After all, that is three thousand lives...

Without evidence, it was impossible for him to attribute all of it to some huge conspiracy. After all, Bennot also had the motive of lying "to defend his incompetence."

"What's your suggestion?"

Seeing Chu Guang suddenly posing the question to him, Yi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said.

"I propose to send more troops to Golden Gallon Port! We must maintain a military presence of more than two corps in the area! Regardless of whether the incident at West Sails Port was the result of self-directed actions by a certain faction of the corps, we must be wary of them taking advantage of the opportunity. Crossed the red line."

Upon hearing his proposal, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Where's the opinion of Golden Gallen Harbor?"

Yan Yan smiled and said.

"They are eager for us to go over and protect their safety, and they even offered to bear all the military expenses for our stationing."

Military expenditure is actually a trivial matter.

It is more important to keep the Legion calm.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay, I will send two regiments over."

When he heard this, Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, there is one more thing. The witch camel suddenly appeared in Golden Gallen Port. This matter seems to have caused quite a big fuss in Borneo Province. The Golden Gallen Port authorities are not sure how to deal with it and hope to seek our opinions... "

This matter is actually an internal matter of the Xilan Empire, and the alliance has neither reason nor meaning to intervene.

An emperor who has lost control of his empire can only be a puppet at best.

This guy might have some disadvantages in the hands of the legion, but the alliance is not the legion after all, so it is naturally impossible for him to do the same thing as the Weirant people.

Although looking at Yi Yan's expression, he seemed to miss this guy, Chu Guang didn't take this person particularly seriously.

"Let Golden Gallen Port decide for itself. The Legion has been invited in by that guy. Does it make any sense if we force him to change his story? The Wilantes are not taxi drivers. They will stop when they wave and stop when they wave."

In fact, when it comes to this, it doesn’t make any difference whether you invite me or not.

The Legion itself is not very disciplined. Even if the Empire does not ask for help, they will come over on their own.

Legal rationality?

If the Weiland people were really so caring, they wouldn't break the contract again and again.

"That's what I say, but I think it would be a pity not to be able to take advantage of this opportunity." Yi Yan said with some regret.

Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"There's nothing to be sorry for."

"From the moment he left Tiandu, his era was over."
