Chapter 1208 The Other Half of the World

Strictly speaking, it has been five years since the end of World War I.

Five years is enough time for many countries to come out of the cloud of war. The first echelon has completed the first round of outfit changes, such as the Gefra people.

The Federation and Gefra have developed so fast, which doesn't mean that the defeated Penteio Group's development will be slow.

In fact, their development was extremely rapid. In the First World War, the Gefra people did not actually loot much from their country.

This is the most fatal point when ocean overlords face land overlords. They may be able to smash the coastline, but they can't set foot on that continent.

As long as they cannot land, all their early war advantages cannot be converted into war dividends.

They cannot plunder resources, they cannot plunder wealth, they cannot plunder population, they cannot even take away a single stone!
In the later stage of the war, the war has actually reached a stalemate. The Gefra people do not want to be able to "live well" after someone challenges their authority, and the Penteio Group has also experienced many problems after losing its sea power.

In the end, after lengthy negotiations, the Gafra Group won the final victory in the First World War, and they only received a small amount of war compensation.

At the same time, as the core country, the Gefra people got a piece of land-Ameria.

Amélia was what they asked for and negotiated as the only non-negotiable item in the negotiations.

Five years have passed, and places like Amelia have begun to develop rapidly, not to mention the Penteo Group, whose core area is actually well protected.

It took these countries five years to fill their shortcomings in the sea. For them, they don't need their own warships to sink the enemy's warships. They only need their own ships to quickly send their soldiers to the sea. on the opponent's territory.

When conducting large-scale military exercises in the Federation before, the Penteo Group also conducted a military exercise, but this time they were not fighting an ordinary ground war, but a landing war.

During this exercise, people found that they had many new landing ships. These ships did not have any powerful firepower, and their only advantages were fast speed and large transportation capacity.

Can break through the fire blockade in the shortest time and send the soldiers on the ship to the beach!
They also seem to have grasped the key to regain control of the war situation, and this time the trade confrontation is very likely to be a trial.

As a capital country, the Federation will directly reflect any situation on the stock market.

Since the opening of the market on Monday, except for the steady rise of military and defense stocks, other stocks have fallen to varying degrees. People's concerns about war are obvious.

Pedestrians on the road seem to be walking faster, as if there is a feeling of early autumn.

At this time, on the other side of the Eastern Ocean, there is a huge piece of land, and there are countries with a very long history on this land, so far away that countries like Gefra do not recognize their national history as history.

They think that those histories are all myths. For example, Emperor Penteo II lived in history for more than 1000 years, which is obviously impossible.

With the development of modern medicine, people can only live to 70 to 50 years old. In ancient times, a person's life may be as short as 1000 to [-] years. Why did Peng Jieao II live for more than [-] years?
The subsequent emperors also lived for hundreds of years. It was not until modern times that those histories seemed real.

Regardless of whether that is true or not, in short, the history of the Penteo Empire is too long, and it is also the only empire on this planet that has existed for at least 2000 years!

The ruling core of the Penteio Empire was built under the Mountain of the Gods. The whole city looks very beautiful, and everyone who has been here will be deeply impressed.

The city...how should I put it?

It’s like an enlarged version of the city, with huge houses, huge pillars, and huge bricks. It seems that the people who lived here in the past were not the current humans, but a kind of giant, at least four or five meters high, or even taller. giant.

Some people think that this is a kind of architectural style and tradition. Although there are some patterns in some books that existed in the past, it is recorded that the people who lived here were not "little people" at that time, but this does not prove anything.

At the core of his rule, the emperor of Penteo sat in his chair with an exaggeratedly high back, which was at least seven or eight meters high!

The texture of pure gold, supplemented by red velvet and soft filling, makes it look extraordinarily noble and extraordinary.

Peng Jieo's emperor's right elbow rested on the armrest, and he propped his chin, looking at the many ministers.

Hundreds of years ago, the monarchy here evolved into a system similar to a constitutional monarchy. The elders, ministers, and the monarch jointly decided the future of the country.

The Great Elder does not represent religion, but ordinary people, or members of parliament.

Elders are elected by the councils of each city, and then the elders are elected by these elders. They all come from the common people and are not allowed to have noble blood or background. They can only be pure people.

This also ensures the sense of belonging and support of the people of the Penteio Empire to the country, and the promotion of every policy is what the people want.

At least that's what it said.

The ministers represent the nobles, while the monarch is the emperor and represents the royal family.

In fact, before the outbreak of the First World War, no one would have thought that the countries on both sides of this planet would trigger a war that would spread to the world!

Just because the Gefras failed to seize Penteo's port, it wasn't a big deal in the first place.

If this sort of thing had happened in the Commonwealth, there would have been no World War I.

But it happened between two tough empires, so it is not destined to end so easily.

"What are we going to do now?" asked the emperor, looking lazy.

He is completely different from Gefra's emperor. If Gefra's emperor is more like a tyrant who wants to take everything into his own hands, then Penteo's emperor is like... a sleepy ordinary people.

If it weren't for the crown of golden olive branches on his head, if it wasn't for the brilliant halo refracted by the gemstones on each olive leaf, he might be an ordinary person!

He looked at the great elders sitting on the right. The proposal to raise tariffs was promoted by these elders, or by the capitalists and ordinary people in this country.

All kinds of goods exported from the other side of the world were cheap, beautiful and easy to use, and this had a terrible impact on local commerce.

So under the impetus of various parliaments, finally the ministers and the emperor also recognized the ideas from the people and raised these tariffs.

Unexpectedly, the federal people's reaction was so quick and strong, and some of the more important materials were included in the embargo list at once.

His Majesty the Emperor had already sent a minister to negotiate with the federal government, but the other party refused firmly, which also made the Penteo Empire very dissatisfied with this.

The Great Elder sitting at the top bowed slightly to show his respect for the royal family and the emperor, "They cut off our supply, and we can cut off theirs too..."

His Majesty the Emperor interrupted him, "Then what then?"

The Great Elder was a little surprised, as if he didn't understand, His Majesty switched sides and supported his chin, "I said what then?"

"They continued to adjust the trade relationship with us, and in the end we broke off diplomatic relations, and then went on, and then?"

"I heard that there are some things that are missing, and we can't produce these things by ourselves..." His Majesty the Emperor looked at the minister in charge of industry.

The latter nodded. The technological advancement of the Federation people is a fact known to the whole world, and there is no problem in admitting this.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Great Elder again, "Then what then?"

The elders understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant, and according to their wishes, they now imposed some restrictions on the situation on the Federation side.

But this little brother, who had always shrunk his head and remained neutral during the war, suddenly became tough and didn't give the empire face.

led to the current situation.

The Great Elder was silent for a while and said, "We will try our best to solve this problem. History has taught us that it is better to have it than others."

What he said represents the middle and lower classes of society and capitalists. Penteo's social system is very peculiar.

After today's meeting, the research and development forces and capitalists of the entire country will take action, and they will use various methods to bring back what they need.

His Majesty the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, "This is the best. I don't want anything to block the glory of our ancestors from shining on the world."

"But the federal people are provoking us so much, we can't do nothing, maybe we can..." He smiled, "Create some tension in some areas."

"They are very concerned about the safety of Nagalil. We can try to approach there from the east road and put some pressure on them."

He looked at the Imperial Marshal on the left, "Can our current strength support us in a small friction?"

The Imperial Marshal stood up and slapped his chest, "There is no problem at all, Your Majesty, I will make the Federation pay for underestimating us!"

His Majesty the Emperor was still lazy and lacking energy, he raised his hand and pressed, "Okay, okay, sit down, I feel a lot of pressure when you stand up, I always think you will come up to me A sword..."

The Imperial Marshal sat back in embarrassment, he would definitely not do that, whoever did that would be dead.

It is not without reason that an empire has been passed down for thousands of years.

The royal family seems to be very close to ordinary people. They often leave the palace to mix with ordinary people. Some members of the royal family even live outside the palace.

But when it comes to safety, they never relax.

Everyone who crossed the "red line" died, without exception.

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath, clapped his hands, and stood up with a smile on his face, as if sighing "Long live off work".

"Then I will leave everything to you, I hope you can give me some good news..."
