Chapter 1434 Saint Laurent V
The espionage activities of various parties were already within their expectations. Everyone knew it, and whether they could obtain intelligence depended on their own abilities.
The situation on this continent has only been stabilized for a few years, and he is now preparing to expand overseas and look for the things he left behind.
For now, it is impossible for Zhou Xu to directly fall out with Fisher and overturn the table of the United Nations because of this matter.
After seeing that Fisher had ordered people to prepare generous gifts and send people to apologize, he accepted the gifts and let the matter go.
This situation made Fisher feel relieved, but Peter was unwilling, but he couldn't say anything.
He has now gained enlightenment and has adjusted his mindset.
In the current situation, the more he thinks, the more mistakes he makes. He should learn from the female warrior tribe and, regardless of anything else, just cling to the thigh of the Great Zhou and follow its lead.
After confirming that Da Zhou had good character and credibility, it was expected that Da Zhou would not mistreat the forces that followed him. Otherwise, who would dare to follow them in the future? With this in mind, Peter called Gilt over to discuss the matter.
Even Gilt had to admit that their leader's thinking was quite clear at the moment.
Anyway, there are only two pillars within the United Nations: the Great Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire. Choose one side, hold on to one pillar tightly and don't let go. Just take a gamble and everything will be fine.
At the same time, compared with the Saint Laurent Empire, for now, he also believes that the character and credit of the people in the Great Zhou are indeed better.
At the same time, in the government room of the imperial castle of the Saint Laurent Empire, Saint Laurent V, dressed in gorgeous court costumes, was concentrating on dealing with the government affairs at hand.
Even among the direct descendants of Saint Laurent I, not every one of them could inherit his outstanding talent for bravery.
For example, Saint Laurent V in front of him is obviously not good at military force, but he seems to be more adept when handling government affairs.
Just then, a servant walked in quickly with a report.
"Your Majesty, this is the report sent back from the Great Zhou Embassy."
Upon hearing this, Saint Laurent V paused for a moment and threw aside the half-finished work. He took the report, and after confirming the integrity of the sealing wax, he tore it open with quick movements and took out the report inside.
After quickly reading the contents, Saint Laurent V's expression did not change much, and he casually handed the report to the assistant ministers below.
After the assistant minister took the report and read it, his expression changed slightly.
"How did the Smith Republic get mixed up with the Great Zhou?"
Needless to say, this report is about the arms and equipment transaction between Da Zhou and the Smith Republic.
Judging from the previous situation in the United Nations, the Smith Republic should have stood on their side, but now it is conducting arms trade with Da Zhou.
This made the assistant minister subconsciously feel that there was something wrong.
"Could it be that they have switched sides?"
However, Saint Laurent V shook his head.
"Not necessarily. Positions are positions, and trade is trade."
As an emperor who has been in power for many years, it is naturally impossible for Saint Laurent V to judge the position of a force so simply.
After all, if it is beneficial to oneself, it is not impossible to trade arms with Da Zhou while forming an alliance with them.
Not to mention the Smith Republic, even he, after seeing the news, began to think about purchasing some military equipment from the Great Zhou.
Saint Laurent V did it as soon as he thought of it. His eyes fell directly on the assistant minister.
"Write a greeting letter to Emperor Zhou now. At the end of the letter, state that we are also interested in this arms deal and would like to purchase a batch of arms and equipment from the Great Zhou."
After hearing the order, the assistant minister was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted.
Thanks to the war with the greenskin camp, the land area of their Saint Laurent Empire has now doubled compared to a few years ago.
The newly occupied land will require a large amount of financial and material resources for development and construction, and will obviously also require more troops for garrison and patrol.
While expanding their forces, they obviously also need more equipment.
If they were to produce all of these weapons and equipment themselves, it would undoubtedly further increase their internal manpower pressure.
Under this premise, if they can buy ready-made products directly from other countries, it will save them a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, the assistant minister was about to respond, but before he could say anything, he thought of another thing. Then he asked with a little hesitation...
"Your Majesty, this matter involves a lot of things. Would you like to ask for the instructions of His Majesty the First."
Hearing this, Saint Laurent V, who had been expressionless all this time, unconsciously wrinkled his brows, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"His Majesty does not like to manage government affairs. The previous war with the greenskin camp has already troubled him a lot. There is no need to disturb his peace with such a small matter."
After all, he is the one who is in power at the moment. No emperor would like to have an emperor who likes to interfere in government affairs above him while he is in power.
Especially when the emperor himself has considerable ability, he would be even more annoyed by having an emperor emeritus telling him what to do.
Saint Laurent V is obviously no exception.
"My dear, as an assistant minister, you should just do your job well. It's best not to think about things that don't need to be thought about."
As soon as these words were spoken, the assistant minister was suddenly shocked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will write a greeting letter right away."
Looking at the assistant ministers who were retreating, Saint Laurent V withdrew his gaze. He wanted to continue dealing with the work at hand, but he couldn't help feeling annoyed, which made him lose the mood to work all of a sudden.
Finally, he simply threw away the quill pen in his hand, leaned back on the red velvet chair, and stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
He actually knew that Saint Laurent I did not like managing government affairs, but only liked eating, drinking and having fun.
But the annoying thing is that the other party has not completely given up power. Sometimes, he will come out to mix things up and make his presence felt, unwilling to be lonely.
Simply put, when I don’t want to be in charge, I won’t be in charge, but when I want to be in charge, I still have the final say and can make a comeback anytime, anywhere, and intermittently.
Just listening to this situation tells you how annoying it is.
Saint Laurent V never denied the greatness of his ancestor, and the other party did contribute a lot to the Saint Laurent Empire.
But essentially these are two different things.
For many things, Saint Laurent I made decisions without consulting the current emperor, which often disrupted many of his policy arrangements and forced him to make adjustments.
In addition, many people in the country have also seen that their ancestor is still in power, and they all want to curry favor with him.
He often went to Saint Laurent I to flatter and give him gifts. When Saint Laurent I was happy, he would be promoted directly to a higher position. Saint Laurent V, the current emperor, had no power to stop him.
Aside from Saint Laurent I's powerful combat power at the level of the Horizontal Realm, in the eyes of Saint Laurent V, his great ancestor has become the biggest stumbling block on the road to the development of the Saint Laurent Empire!
