In the spacious and bright conference room, Chris, who had just returned to the capital of Cyris in Iran Hill from Moonhill, was sitting at the top of the table, listening to the heated debate among his ministers.

The new Minister of the Ministry of Economy, Krutz, spoke eloquently and suggested to Chris: "Your Majesty, the location of the new space portal still needs to be carefully considered!" I would suggest the Higgs region, where the oil resources are about to be exhausted, and if the Higgs can be chosen, a new opportunity can be created for the people of that region. ”

As Minister of Economy, his hometown is Seris, while his new wife is the eldest daughter of a large family from Higgs.

Therefore, in terms of relying on the future development of the economy, he is a "northern faction" that favors the northern industrial base, and supports the opening of the space portal between the planet Demon Domain 2 and Eransiris in the north.

However, the Irlanhill Empire is now an unimaginably large super-empire, with both northern and southern factions.

The two sides will not tear their faces apart and oppose each other in an all-round way, but they will still put forward some different opinions on the choice of some development directions.

Before, it was thought that the capital of the empire, Seris, was in the north, and the Iran Hill empire also made its fortune in the north, so the northern faction has always had an advantage.

But now, with the expansion of the Irlanhill Empire, many descendants have been transferred to the south to support the economic development of the south, so the strength of the north and the south can be said to be evenly matched.

Mosa, the Minister of Mines, who had always been at odds with Krutz, spoke at this time, and he sneered before saying: "Joke, if that's the case, what about Volavo?" With the depletion of the spar veins and the collapse of real estate prices in Volavo, wouldn't it be more appropriate to take care of the regional economy? ”

"I also think that Volavo is suitable, the economic base there is based on the processing of magic spar veins, and if the space portal is opened in Volavo, it will bring good stimulus to the economy over there." Hearing that someone was coming forward, another official who was inclined to the Southern Development faction quickly spoke out in support.

None of these officials are alone, they all have their own interest groups. Everyone is rich and wealthy in the local area, and the influence is beyond imagination.

They are all based on national interests, and they are not partisans, and what they say is justified, so Chris will not be disgusted by this level of antagonism. More than everyone was out of place, the emperor was more afraid of the ministers gradually becoming monolithic.

The other official spoke as soon as the officer in front of him had finished speaking, and said to Chris, "Your Majesty! The stocks of the three magic hedron processing companies are on the sidelines, and if we open the space portal elsewhere, these stocks, including the finances of the Wallavo City Hall, will collapse. ”

Although his words did not mean to threaten, the reminder element was relatively heavy. If the empire is not thoughtful in the process of selecting the location of the portal, it will cause a lot of chaos.

Desel also knew the seriousness of the whole body, and opened his mouth to set the tone: "This matter must be handled carefully, and there must be no chaos in the economic development of the Irlanhill Empire!" ”

Chris didn't speak, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of his chair all the time, a sign of his thoughts.

None of the people sitting in the key positions have yet to speak, so Chris himself is not in a hurry to get out of the game.

His gaze swept over the Archduke of Andria, who represented the elves, the Archduke Sumolai, who represented the dwarves, and Marven, who represented the magician.

Originally retreated to the mountains and forests, but in the end, because of the joint recommendation of Odlek and Jarvis, he single-handedly contributed to the split of the puppet empire, and Marven, who is considered highly respected in the wizard circle, is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Irlanhill Empire.

Yes, the Minister of Foreign Affairs! Because the Ranhill Empire is close to dominating the entire world, there has been a slight personnel change recently.

Lord Breeder, a confidant of His Majesty the Emperor of the Irlanhill Empire, who originally commanded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was transferred to the more important Ministry of Education as a minister.

The diplomatic service, which was free from any work, became a position akin to an honorary position.

Because the top level needs a magician to hold a ministerial position to balance the needs of all parties, after the deputy prime minister Jarvis travels to the southern region, the central government must arrange a magician to convey the "magician's demands".

For this reason, Marven took over as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Irlanhill Empire and became the spokesperson of the magician in the upper echelons of the Irlanhill Empire.

So, don't look at Marven as just an idle minister, but he is already the most important high-ranking official within the magician.

Marven didn't mean to speak, because at this time, it was not his turn to express his opinion. Anyway, he just had to sit here and show His Majesty the Emperor the presence of the magician in the empire.

Andrea and Sumolai also mean it, anyway, when people of their level have not yet ended, just listen to those cannon fodder pawns shouting.

Chris also knew that it would not be easy to get these old fritters in politics to speak, and he was happy to be idle, so he continued to tap his fingers on the armrest of the chair, looking like an old god was enjoying it.

He didn't speak, but there were others in the room who had to speak. Now that the debate has begun, it will definitely continue.

Sure enough, another group of forces joined the battle, and an official from Seris spoke: "Actually, I think it's more convenient to open the spatial portal in Volavo than directly in Seris. When it comes to magic processing, Seris's business is no worse than that of Volavo, and opening near Seris can also save transportation costs, so why not? ”

The officials who supported the opening of the portal in Volavo immediately burst into a rage and shouted loudly: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" Opening in Seris is just saving some costs, but if you open in Volavo, you are saving the economy of a region! That's a big difference! ”

"Yes! It is not only about economic benefits, but also about the security of the empire! How to solve the security problem by opening the portal in Seris? You know, our portal is a natural attenuation type of magic, and it can't be closed casually! On the other side, an official's seemingly fair opening was actually rejecting the proposal to leave the benefits to Seris.
