Vol 5 Chapter 153: Reason for the war

"what!"
Xu also stood up fiercely. As he got up too fast, the body directly hit the table, and the whole table was bumped up and raised a loud bang.
King Truz turned and waved to the guards who heard the sounds, indicating that nothing was wrong, then drove them out, and then looked at Xu Yi, waiting for his follow-up reaction.
After Xu also sent for a while, his expression slowly returned to calm and he sat down again.
After a moment of indulgence, Xu also asked: "Your Majesty, can you tell me what is the cause?"
&nbs"; seeing Xu also recovering calm so quickly, King Truz passed a look of appreciation and replied: "The cause... On the surface, it is caused by a smuggling case."
"Smuggling case?" Xu also frowned.
Because the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark are hostile relations all the year round, the transactions between the borders of the two countries are basically done by smuggling.
But since the opening of the free trade zone between the two countries, this smuggling case has been much less because of a free-trade place.
Even if there are, most of them are just some small-scale scams to avoid switching taxes, which do not affect the overall situation, nor are they too much valued by both sides, and it is even less likely to trigger a war between the two countries.
The only smuggling case that can have such a big influence is probably related to that aspect.
Sure enough, King Truz nodded and continued: "Yes. According to the announcement of the Lanpari Kingdom, there are people inside the Lampari Kingdom who smuggle military magical machinery to the Sark Kingdom..."
Speaking of this, King Truz looked at Xu and found that he did not have any unexpected expression. Just frowning slightly. I know that Xu is absolutely aware of these things.
"After the discovery of the Kingdom of Lampari, the smuggling case was attacked. The result was traced back to the territory of the Sark Kingdom. At the beginning, the Kingdom of Lampari only asked the Sark Kingdom to hand over the suspected smuggler, but it was The rejection of the Sark Kingdom. As a result, the two sides clashed, and seven soldiers died in the conflict in the Kingdom of Lampari. The Sark Kingdom lost dozens of border guards and several civilians.

"And then? Are they going to war directly?" Xu also asked strangely.
"Yes. The Kingdom of Lampari soon announced that the Sark Kingdom had launched an attack on the Lanpari Kings, and officially declared war on the Sark Kingdom. As for the result... I have already said it."
Xu Yi brows deeply wrinkled.
Of course, King Truz does not have to lie to him in this kind of thing, but no matter what he thinks. I feel that there is a lot of surprise in this matter.
Even though the relationship between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark has been hostile for centuries, for both kingdoms, formal declaration of war is by no means an easy task.
What's more, the two countries have finally confirmed the free trade zone. For the first time in hundreds of years, bilateral trade has been opened. It is in the good momentum of normal development. The Lampari Kingdom is able to sell all kinds of goods to the Sark Kingdom. A variety of magical machinery and other kinds of magical industrial products receive a lot of benefits from the Sark Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, how could the Kingdom of Lampari suddenly and unexplainedly declare war on the Sark Kingdom, and really launched the war, and even occupied one third of the territory of the southern province of the Sark Kingdom in one breath?
Perhaps this is a very worthy thing to do for the people of the Lampari Kingdom who were suppressed by the Sark Kingdom in the past hundreds of years. But in Xu Yi's opinion, it is completely inexplicable.
Who is going to decide to go to war? Is it the Servini who is the Queen?
Xu also shook his head. Negated this speculation.
Because she is very clear, Sevigny is not the kind of guy who has no brains, and signed a contract with the Sark Kingdom to determine the free trade zone between the two sides. It was originally confirmed by Xu and her.
Sevigny is well aware of how much the Kingdom of Lampari can benefit from this free trade zone, and the actual data from last year and this year does prove this.
Xu also does not believe that Servini does not understand the benefits that the current situation can bring to the Kingdom of Lampari. It is obviously impossible for her to take the initiative to launch a war to destroy the current good situation.
But if it wasn't for Sevigny, then the decision should be made by other people in the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, if this is the case, it proves another, more horrible possibility, that is, Sevigny can't really control the Kingdom of Lampari, so that she can't stop even fighting this kind of thing to the Sark Kingdom.
This may be even more shocking than Sevigny’s initiative to launch a war.
Although he crossed the world to appear in the Kingdom of Lampari, he has been living in the Kingdom of Lampari for several years, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was founded and raised in the Kingdom of Lampari, making him a king of Lampari. There is always a special feeling.
But the reason why he supports the Kingdom of Lampari is mostly based on the good relationship between him and Sevigny.
He believes that Sevigny is a suitable leader of the Kingdom of Lampari, supporting her ideals to help them change people's lives through magical machinery.
But if the Kingdom of Lampari is not under the control of Servini, it means that Xu’s previous support and investment in the Kingdom of Lampari has lost its roots and has become free from his control.
In Xu Yi's mind, Sevigny is completely integrated with the Kingdom of Lampari. If it is not the Kingdom of Lampari under the control of Servini, then he will not have any glimpse of the Kingdom of Lampari.
Therefore, if this speculation is true, it will have a very serious impact on both Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, Xu Yisheng asked the King of Truz: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Lampari declared war on the Kingdom of Sark, in whose name?"
King Truz did not seem to be surprised to ask this question. He smiled and replied: "Of course, in the name of Queen Sevigny. Queen Severny also released a declaration of war through the "Lampari Weekly" before the war. Yan Wen. I just brought this "Lampari Weekly", do you want to see it?"
Xu Yi silently nodded, nodded, and received the "Lampari Weekly" from the hands of King Truz.
The proclamation of the war in the name of Sevigny was printed on the front page of the "Lampari Weekly" and marked with large characters, which is very eye-catching.
The whole piece of essays is full of the front and second editions of the "Lampari Weekly", with about 3,000 words.
Xu also carefully read this essay, but he did not seriously read the contents of the article, but focused on the tone of the article.
If you look at the article itself, Xu also feels that this essay is indeed from the handwriting of Servini, because the wording, tone, etc., are exactly the same as Xu Wei, who is familiar with Xu, and it looks like she wrote it by herself. general.
However, after reading it, Xu also did not rush to draw conclusions. After thinking for a while, he put down the newspaper and re-visited the King of Truz.
Before seeing Sevigny with her own eyes and getting her own confirmation, Xu will only put speculation in his heart for the time being, and now the question before him is why the King of Truz specifically informs him of this news. Even the performance is so eager.
"Thank you for telling me about this matter. This has a great impact on the strategy of our Chamber of Commerce. If you know ahead of time, you can make preparations in advance." Xu Yixian expressed his gratitude to King Truz, then he was slightly addicted and asked: " But your Majesty, you specifically summoned me, is it just to tell me about it?"
King Truz smiled. The body leaning on the back of the chair sat up straight, squinting at Xu and watching it for a while, slowly shaking his head.
"Of course not. Xu Huichang, in fact, I don't have to say it clearly, you should also guess what I am coming to ask you to talk about?"
Xu Yi silently sighed for a moment: "If I guessed it right, you should come to me to talk about military magic machinery. Tell me about it, to remind me of Lampa. Isn’t the Kingdom of the Kingdom so reliable as I imagined?

"The first half of the sentence is correct, only the latter half..." King Truz made a haha, but did not comment. "On the military magic machinery, I mentioned it to President Xu many times before, but I have been rejected by you. I thought I could wait patiently, but this time the Lanpari Kingdom took the initiative to declare war on the Sark Kingdom. I feel that it is very difficult to wait."
"Oh?" Xu also raised an eyebrow and looked at King Truz.
"Don't deliberately put on such a confused look. Xu Huichang, this time I made a great decision to come to you for discussion. You see, I even left the city of Kulaka, personally come here and you. After the meeting, I have shown that I have shown considerable sincerity. So, should you show your sincerity?
Xu Yi silently nodded and nodded slightly: "Okay, sire. We talked straightforwardly. Do you want to buy military magic machinery directly from our chamber of commerce?"
"If I say that you want to transfer military magical machinery technology to our Kingdom of Rulson, would you agree?"
"No." Xu also shook his head without hesitation.
King Truz sighed and shook his head. "So I am not going to make such a proposal. What I hope is that I will only buy the military magic machinery needed from your Chamber of Commerce."
Xu also noticed the term "temporary" in his mouth. He smiled and didn't mind. He asked: "So, how much do you plan to buy and what kind of military magic machinery you need?"
King Truz narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Xu, can I take your question as you have already promised?"
"I have never really refused to sell military magical machinery to the Kingdom of Rulson. But specifically, it still needs specific deliberation, isn't it?"
"Okay, then we will start to negotiate specifically." (To be continued...)
