As soon as Nadir Shah said this, the official who had just spoken immediately turned pale.
Apparently, Nadir Shah already had his plan for dealing with this.
At this moment, Nadir Shah nodded to the guards not far away, and then the guards immediately pulled open the curtains on the side wall.
On the wall was a huge map.
It covers the entire Persian Empire, and even a map of part of Holy Egypt and most of Greece.
At this time, Nadir Shah's finger slid towards a narrow triangle in northern Greece.
"Our fleet once encountered a storm at this cape and suffered heavy losses."
"This time, I decided, we're going to dig a canal."
"All supplies will arrive in Greece directly through the canal. This will be a brand new logistics route for us."
There was an uproar in the hall.
Because, in everyone's opinion, that is a task that only God can accomplish.
"Build a canal? King of kings, this... this is an almost impossible task!"
"How many workers will that take? And how long will it take?"
"The difficulty of this project is unprecedented! King of kings!"
"this......"
The hall, which was originally quite quiet, was now filled with various voices of doubt, because every official knew that it meant that they still needed to recruit a large number of manpower in the area under their jurisdiction.
But even so, the scale and difficulty of the canal project are still difficult to estimate.
However, seeing people's reactions, Nadir Shah remained unmoved, as if in his opinion it was just as difficult as repairing a palace or a city.
Or, it can't be called difficult at all.
"Everyone, nothing is impossible."
"Think about it, how much time and manpower did it take us to build the Persian Canal?"
"Now, we have more advanced tools and more workers."
Nadir Shah glanced at everyone and then continued to raise his voice.
"I want this canal completed by the end of this year so our fleet can pass through safely."
The hall, which was noisy just now, suddenly became silent.
One of the officials slowly stepped forward. He was the one who had informed Nadir Shah that Holy Egypt wanted to buy a giant elephant.
Simply put, he knew more about Holy Egypt than anyone here, so he came up with a plan.
"King of kings..."
"I, I have a suggestion. Perhaps we can seek help from Holy Egypt."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
"Holy Egypt? The kingdom in the desert?"
"We, the Persian Empire, are going to seek help from Holy Egypt? The Holy Pharaoh who can summon demons and defeat the Hebrew ruler?"
"How dare you! How could we, the mighty Persian Empire, possibly seek help from Holy Egypt!"
"The King of Kings would never seek help from the humble Holy Pharaoh!"
In just a moment, the official was completely drowned out by the crowd's voices.
Faced with the condemnation of the crowd, the official had no choice but to roar and raise his voice.
"No, it's not!"
"Holy Egypt certainly cannot be compared with our Persian Empire, and Holy Pharaoh, of course, cannot be compared with our great and honorable King of Kings!"
"But I've been in contact with their messenger, and he once told me that their Holy Pharaoh could perform 'miracles' in just one day, even repairing the entire kingdom's cities!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! One day? Repair the entire kingdom's cities?"
"You must have been drunk, otherwise, how dare you say such arrogant and unreasonable words here!"
"In one day, we can't even move the materials. How is it possible..."
At this moment, the official roared again: "No! This is true!"
Then, there was a silence, and many people frowned and looked at the official with a little anger.
They just continued to listen, wanting to see what other disrespectful words that guy could say to go against Tian Gang.
"That day, after the deal with Holy Egypt was concluded, I privately sought out a few Holy Egypt soldiers."
"Everyone's answer is the same!"
"In fact, when they answered, everyone showed excitement and surprise. That expression couldn't be concealed!"
He paused, then continued.
"Everyone, please think about this: Holy Egypt defeated the powerful Hebrew Empire in just a short period of time!"
"Their battle line stretches from Holy Egypt to Jerusalem. How far is that?"
"That is to say, Holy Egypt probably has abilities and powerful logistical capabilities in this area that we cannot currently understand!"
"What I want to convey is to win over Holy Egypt and have them help us build this road!"
"For Persia, this is a hundred benefits with no harm at all!"
"What's more, Holy Egypt and Holy Pharaoh will eventually bow down before the King of Kings. So what's wrong with that?"
Having said this, those who had just expressed opposition fell silent, as if they didn't know how to refute for a moment.
The official continued to speak, not intending to give anyone a chance to rebut.
"Please believe me, everyone. Please believe me, the King of Kings!"
"When I first heard the news, I had the same reaction as you guys!"
"If we want to build a canal, cooperating with Saint Egypt will definitely greatly shorten our construction time!"
"King of kings!"
When he said this, he knelt on the ground, completely curled up his limbs, and then pressed his cheeks tightly against the ground.
As for Nadir Shah, he watched his actions with a blank expression.
Just looked at coldly.
At this moment, a Persian general spoke.
"Your Majesty, the King of Kings, what he said makes some sense."
When the official kneeling on the ground heard this, he just raised his head with a little joy.
Because this general was Nadir Shah's confidant and one of the core members of the Persian power.
“I have some opinions on this as well.”
"First, if we win over Holy Egypt, our plan might be exposed. We can't be sure whether Holy Egypt will truly stand on our side. If they tell the Greeks, your plan will be affected."
"Secondly, we know very little about Saint Egypt. The only one who has had in-depth contact with Saint Egypt is him."
"That is to say, it is doubtful whether he is still as loyal to you as before."
When the official kneeling on the ground heard this, his face immediately turned pale.
