Chapter 413 National Interests (Part 1)

Starlight Kingdom, Tengyuan Star Domain.

This star field was originally the capital of the Kingdom of Lanofi. Due to its developed economy, superior geographical conditions, and the protection of the interstellar fortress, it has now been selected as the new capital of the kingdom.

At this time, the Kingdom has a territory of more than 200 star domains and has become a major force in the Prison Soul Star Sea. Moreover, within two thousand light years, there is no force that can be compared with one. If it were not considered that the newly acquired territory has not been digested, it would not be a problem to grab dozens of star domains!

The kingdom is now basically in short supply of territory, and most of the mineral resources can be found on domestic resource planets. The supporting smelting and processing industries, and even independent industrial systems are gradually being established!

The first batch of star fields included in the kingdom rule, all infrastructure construction was in place and began to become the main source of taxation in the kingdom! A large amount of investment finally saw the reward!

The project team under Hu Quanjun has made significant progress. The first batch of genetic optimization reagents processed and extracted with dozens of different fungal spores as alternative raw materials have passed monitoring, and the clinical effect is no less than similar products!

The cost of this fungal version of gene optimization reagent is only one-tenth of that of similar products, and only one-seventh of that of third- and fourth-level products; and with subsequent progress, the cost will continue to decline!

As for fungal reagents above level 5, they are still under research, and they will be able to produce qualified finished products in no time! By then, the strength of the Kingdom Supernatural Legion will definitely increase again!

With the assistance of many experts stationed by the Empire, the first "Xilong" class battleship finally successfully stepped down from the production line and passed the technical test, which was no different from the model used by the Imperial Guard Corps!

In addition to this most advanced production line, there are several similar warship production lines, such as the slightly worse "Yunshark"-level production line, which is a gift from the Yun Family Power Presbyterian Church, and there are several others, which were privately obtained by the clone organization. Now they have been installed and debugged and put into use one by one!

Independently manufacturing warships requires the joint efforts of thousands of supporting factories to complete it! The warship shell, main gun and auxiliary gun, energy reactor, main control optical brain, ship ecosystem, escape equipment, as well as various reconnaissance and detection instruments, supporting ammunition, mechas, space fighter jets, etc.! All must be responsible for a professional department!

Being able to perfectly solve these problems means that the country's industrial manufacturing level has reached a very high level!

After a long-lasting and unremitting efforts, the kingdom has begun to truly have the atmosphere that a great country should have!

After delaying more than a month from the scheduled time, on this day, the camp of Queen Fang Yuqing, the supreme ruler of the Shufeng Empire, finally arrived near the capital of the kingdom!

Yun Haoyu brought a large number of civil and military officials to greet him. The location of the welcome ceremony was chosen in a military fortress near the wormhole.

The Kingdom Prime Minister Zhong Mingrui and Deputy Prime Minister Crassu were personally responsible for arranging all the matters in the welcome ceremony. This was the first time since the founding of the Kingdom that it has welcomed a foreign head of state to visit. And it was the queen of a superpower, so it could not tolerate any gap!

Although both parties have an engagement and can be considered a family, foreign affairs activities between countries still have to be carried out according to international practices and cannot be careless at all!

Su Shangqing was responsible for security affairs during the welcoming ceremony, and was also patrolling back and forth in the void near the fortress.

The Queen's camp will arrive in two hours. After several rounds of investigation, no abnormalities were found. He relaxed a little and ordered Li Xingyan, who had been following him, to continue on duty on his behalf, and went back to the fortress to rest for a while.

As the number one figure in the Kingdom Security Department, his treatment is naturally not bad. He has his own independent villa suite in the fortress, with luxurious and elegant interior decoration, and all furniture and facilities are the best specialties of the Kingdom!

After entering the door and sitting down on the sofa in the living room, the beautiful biochemical adjutant immediately brought snacks and coffee.

But before I could taste a few sips, a message came from my brain. He shrugged with depression: "Damn! I don't even have the time to drink a glass of water! Can you still live?"

No matter how much he complained, he still connected immediately.

Crassus's image appeared in front of him, and he smiled and said, "Do you have time? I have prepared a small wine. I wonder if I will come over to enjoy the scenery?"

Su Shangqing was a little surprised. His friendship with him was just average. Why did he ask himself to drink?

"Why don't you come if you have wine?" He thought quickly in his heart, and he replied with a smile:

"Wait for a few minutes and you'll be there soon!"

As he said that, he sorted out a little, got up and went out.

The residences of the two important officials were not far apart and arrived soon.

The other party had already been waiting at the door. When he saw him coming, he stepped forward and politely greeted him, and then welcomed him in.

The sumptuous banquet was ready, and the two of them sat down separately. The biochemical butler sent out all the maids in the restaurant and then covered the door.

Su Shangqing looked at the blond young man with double pupils and asked gently: "I wonder if you have anything to do if you want to have an interview?"

When the kingdom was first established, most of the people who were in charge of the country were young people like them, so they had not yet developed the hypocrisy, exaggerated, and flashy bad styles in the officialdom of those old-fashioned countries!

When everyone discusses issues, they always go straight to the point, and everything is based on efficiency! There is not so much polite words to waste time.

Crasso put down the wine glass that he had just picked up and said with a serious expression: "Sir, I'm going to call you here this time. I just have some questions in my heart. I want to ask for advice. I wonder if you are willing to solve your doubts?"

Su Shangqian nodded: "You said!"

"We are all ministers of the kingdom, and the interests of the kingdom should be the priority in everything! That's right?" he asked.

"Of course! Is there any problem with this?"

Crassus raised his hand and held the wine glass in front of him, took a sip and said, "What do you think the marriage between His Majesty and the Queen will have on the interests of the kingdom?"

Su Shangqing's movements couldn't help but stagnate, and his dark eyes stared at him for a moment before saying: "From the present, it is very beneficial to the kingdom!"

"Yes, it can be said that the kingdom can have today's territory and construction achievements so quickly, which is inseparable from the strong support of the empire! There are now hundreds of millions of experts and scholars from the empire in China, and technical elites help us carry out construction!" Crassus said quickly.

"The question is, how long can this situation last? Or, how long can the honeymoon period of the two countries last? If the empire no longer supports us and even speaks badly to us due to some kind of change, how should we deal with it at that time?"

The smile on Su Shangqing's face froze: "Why do you think that such a situation will definitely happen in the near future?"

"It's very simple. There is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests!" Crassus said, knocking on the table,

"Supporting a country with certain strength in the Prison Soul Star Sea is undoubtedly beneficial to the current empire! That is why the empress is so generous! But there is a premise, that is, the Star Kingdom must be obedient!"

"At present, the interests of the two countries are highly consistent! There will be basically no problem! But in the near future, the kingdom will continue to expand, and its territory and national strength will grow, will the top leaders of the empire still be so relieved to us? When they find that this country is no longer willing to be an obedient little brother, will they still give us a good look?"

Su Shangqing said with some uncertainty: "The Queen likes our Majesty very much. She...will not do this?"

"No matter how good the Queen is to Your Majesty, she is also the Queen of the Forty Wind Empire. Behind her is the huge interest class of the Empire! Of course, she will only give priority to the interests of the Empire! Whether she wants it or not!" Crassus said,

"When one day, the empire's military front also points to the sea of ​​Prison Soul Stars, how should we deal with ourselves? Should we surrender? This country was fought together with His Majesty and fought bloody battles! How could we give up? If we refuse, the two countries will only meet with swords and weapons!"

"Even if His Majesty becomes her man and sleeping by her every day is a difficult problem that cannot be avoided!"

Su Shangqing was silent.

To be honest, he had never considered this issue before! He just saw the benefits that can be obtained by cooperating with the empire, but he didn't know that there was no free lunch in the world! How much he got now, he would have to pay it back sooner or later!

From this perspective, we can find that the current kingdom is too dependent on the empire! We must prepare for the future to avoid losses in the future!

He knew Yun Haoyu's temperament, and he would never be confused about this principle for a woman! Then, it is really hard to say how long this marriage can last!

Both of these two majesties can be called the masters of talented and stubbornness. They will never be vague about issues involving national interests! Even if the relationship between them is good, the same will be true!

"How are you staying?" After a moment, Su Shangqing raised his head and looked at him and asked slowly:

"Tell Your Majesty your point of view? To stop the marriage between the two countries? I'm afraid I'll have to turn against the empire now!"

Crassus waved his hand quickly: "Of course I don't mean that. I'm going to ask you to say this in my mind, just hope you can be prepared and not wait until the situation suddenly changes in the future, the top leaders of the kingdom are passive everywhere!"

"You must have said this to more than one person?" Su Shangqing suddenly smiled, "And you also hope I can talk to His Majesty to let him understand the interests?"

"That's right, that's it! Your friendship with Your Majesty is far beyond the reach of your subordinates, so if you come forward to persuade him, the effect will be better!" Crassus said calmly.

Su Shangqing shook his head helplessly: "Don't you just want me to be a villain? You! There are so many twists and turns in your belly!"

"But I have to admit that you really have a better understanding of political matters than we do! This is beyond my reach! In the future, I will ask you to pay more attention to this aspect!"
