Chapter Seventy-Four: The Two Men Who Were Handed Over to the Al Ain Empire 4
Princess Sisi also sensed that something was wrong from the words of the people, so she asked the guards around her, and thus learned something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Relations between the Al Ain Empire and its neighboring Steele Empire have always been tense, with a variety of mineral resources near their borders, and the two countries are constantly at war over their distribution.
The developers of mineral resources often change hands, but both countries do reap huge benefits. They used the mined minerals to make weapons or export ore to other countries, amassing a lot of wealth, and at the same time vigorously developing their military, becoming the most powerful power on the Kurdish continent. Even when the Frost Empire swept across the continent, these two countries held out for a long time under the indiscriminate bombardment of airships.
After learning that the Floating Continent was selling magic weapons to the surface, the two countries started an arms race, frantically buying all kinds of magic weapons from the Alfrey Empire. These magic weapons are powerful and easy to use, and it is not difficult to destroy one or several cities.
After implementing the policy of confiscating magic weapons, although the two countries were very unwilling, they were also relieved - they had no magic weapons, and the other party was gone!
At the same time, the collection of money for the magic weapons greatly enriched their treasury, as if they were saving a whole amount, and they could vigorously develop domestic affairs.
If you want to develop, it is not enough to have money, the main thing is to have resources, all kinds of resources. Although they have money in their hands, they don't want to buy them from other countries -- they have huge mineral reserves at their doorstep, and if they can get their hands on them, why bother importing them? Even, not only to seize resources, but also to excite the emperors of both sides even more -- to wipe out the other party's regime, at least to the point that it will never be able to turn over!
Even though they both know that the other has a lot of wealth in their hands, they still want to make a big gamble and decide who will be the winner who can take possession of the resources!
On the surface, destroying a country is not a simple matter. Only with enough resources and wealth in hand can you completely suppress and eliminate your opponent. Now, the wealth of the two countries has far exceeded the supply of the army, although they have not weakened the conventional army much after importing magic weapons, but it will take a long time to develop the army to the level of wealth - neither country wants to wait, it is better to use this wealth to suppress the other.
Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before a large-scale war breaks out.
They are just waiting, waiting for a suitable moment, or a reasonable excuse.
If the time comes, it will be easier for you to win the other party, and if you have an excuse, you can let yourself nominally dominate the other party.
When Princess Sisi learned of such a thing, she was in a terrible mood. This is not a local war of siege, this is a war between countries before, and the cause of this war is still my own suggestion. She was incredibly remorseful, but to no avail. Only by returning to the floating continent as soon as possible, and then using a series of sophisticated means, it is possible to prevent this war.
Before you go back...... Don't go to war!
However, this is not possible.
