In fact,

When Crael blurted out his words, everyone present was a little confused.

Inspire the Kingdom of Basel to launch an attack on us?

What's the thing?!

This is more or less a bit nonsense...

Yes,

Incredible, incredible...

Almost at that moment, all kinds of strange emotions surged into the hearts of many senior Idal officials.

"This...is unlikely?!" Ford, the elder of the Idal Department of Government Affairs, asked hesitantly.

"Yes, right! How is this possible!"

“That’s it…”

It’s no wonder that many senior Idal officials present felt incredible.

After all...before, the Kingdom of Basel, which had a backer like the Norman Empire and was far away from war, had not launched a war for nearly a century, and had even participated in a real war.

The only conflict that Basel's army has participated in is at most to suppress some unarmed serfs and quell the riots of civilians.

But……

The civilians did not have enough weapons of destruction. The end of fighting with regular soldiers with black bread can be imagined even with their toes.

It is precisely because of this that when Krell mentioned that the Church of Light wanted to incite the Kingdom of Basel to launch a war against it, everyone's mentality was a little surprised.

In their subconscious, no matter how hard the nobles of the Basel Kingdom were, there was no need to mess with the Principal of Idar, right?

Don’t they know the Odin Empire that was defeated in a mess?

Don't know the powerful force of the Idar army?

Or have you never heard of the "Basel Scalpel" plan launched by the Principal of Idar?

"Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel were short-sighted, they were not stupid. If they had been put before, no matter how hard the Church of Light was fooled, they would not dare to act rashly. However... the development of magic industrialization and the dumping of the Idal Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Basel have long changed their minds!"

"What does this have to do with the Idal Chamber of Commerce?" Julian Heaton frowned and asked.

"Of course it's related! In other words... the development strategy of the Principal of Idar will inevitably lead to a local war or a total war between us and the Kingdom of Basel!"

This time, before Crael could speak, Bruno said in a deep voice.

"The development idea of ​​the Principal of Idar at this stage is very clear, that is, to build a prosperous, civilized and harmonious new country under the leadership of the Stuart family with magic technology as the core and the support of the Idar people!"

"And what has magic technology brought about? It has brought about magic industrialization!"

"In these days, magic industrialization has developed rapidly on this land, a large number of factories have emerged, and a large number of workshops have emerged. More and more people have separated from the fields they have relied on for generations and have become professional workers working in factories."

"These changes have never happened in the past few hundred years, so, in my opinion... at this moment, mankind is facing a major change that has not been seen in a century! And the Principal of Idar... is the leader of this change!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.

The changes in the Principal of Idar during this period did involve all aspects, the gathering and redistribution of power, the prosperity and prosperity of commerce, the birth and development of industry, the rise of civilians and the demise of serfs...

All of the above changes have happened under the leadership of Bruno!

And everyone here today is also participant in this major change that has not been seen in a century!

So... they naturally have a deep understanding of this.

But the problem is...

What does this have to do with the Kingdom of Basel that has been sucking?

Then……

Only Bruno continued:

"It seems that the development of the Principal of Idar seems to have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Basel."

"But... let me ask, the large amount of cloth produced by the Idar textile factory, the Horn bicycle factory, the Idar paper workshop... are the goods produced in these factories and workshops only sold in the Principal of Idar?"

Hearing Bruno's question, Julian Heaton quickly replied:

"Of course not, the Idar Chamber of Commerce will put these... wait, you mean..."

"Yes……"

Bruno nodded: "As I mentioned earlier, the development of magic industrialization has greatly improved the productivity of the Principal of Idar."

"Take cloth as an example. If ordinary civilians want to sew a piece of cloth in the Kingdom of Basel, it will take a long time to do so, but if it is placed in the Principal of Idar... The birth of Jenny machine not only doubled the production efficiency of cloth, but also reduced the cost of cloth by countless amounts."

"In fact, it's not just cloth, agricultural tools, iron tools, bicycles... For the Principal of Idar, which one of the costs of producing these objects is no less than the rest of the forces?"

"With these cheap and affordable Idal goods continue to pour into the land of the Kingdom of Basel... the original social structure of the Kingdom of Basel is also suffering from crazy impacts!!"

"The aristocratic forces in this era were mostly self-sufficient small peasant economy. Most civilians and serfs survived by relying on the aristocrats and could only rely on the production of the fields to support the lords."

"But... the sudden influx of Idal goods seemed to have opened a bloodletting tank for the Kingdom of Basel. A large number of gold coins and cheap raw materials continued to flow into the Principal of Idal, but the local goods in the Kingdom of Basel were difficult to move forward."

"Although the Idal Chamber of Commerce is also expanding, it has distributed part of its profits to the rich nobles of the Basel Kingdom such as the Duke of Stein, the McCorlin family, etc., but... it is impossible to take care of the interests of every nobleman after all."

Speaking of this, everything is self-evident.

The dumping of goods in the Principal of Idar caused huge losses to the original interests of the local nobles in Basel, so... this allowed the Church of Light to seize the opportunity to take advantage of it, hoping to pay a certain price, so that the Kingdom of Basel could hold back the footsteps of the Principal of Idar as much as possible.

after all……

Since the conflict between the Principal of Idar and the Church of Light is inevitable, it is an excellent choice to let the Kingdom of Basel test the strength of the Principal of Idar first.

"And now, the question I want to know most is... If the Kingdom of Basel really wants to break up with us, how long will we have to react?!"

While speaking, Bruno turned his eyes to Krell, the director of the CIA at Idal.

"Dude, you should know the nature of those conservative and old traditional nobles. Even if the Church of Light runs around, I'm afraid... it's impossible to send troops without a half year."

Krell's words are justified and well-founded.

You should know that in this era when transportation is extremely backward, the rest of the forces do not have transportation gods like steam locomotives and railway tracks.

So...even if the Basel nobles were really convinced by the church, it would take a long time to prepare food, supplies and mobilize soldiers from all over the country.

"If it is really as you expected... then the time left for the Principal of Idar is enough."

"Duke, do you mean... take the initiative? Or strengthen the fortifications in advance?"

Seeing Bruno's expression of confidence, Defense Minister Sarah Coren couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, everyone present also raised their ears.

Although the Idars are more accustomed to convincing people with reason and like peace and stability,... the Idars with abundant martial ethics have never feared war!

What's more... it's when the Idar army continues to expand and its weapons and equipment continues to upgrade.

Everyone present looked at Bruno, who was sitting in the first place, because... they were already eager to try in their hearts!

Sweeping everyone's faces, Bruno was almost certain that as long as he issued an order to take the initiative, then in the next second, all the Hidal soldiers would be ready to have a friendly and friendly exchange with the soldiers of the Kingdom of Basel.

"No need..."

Bruno's words were beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"ah?"

"No need?!"

"But Lord Duke, although the army of the Kingdom of Basel has long been corrupt, it is a kingdom after all, so you must not take it lightly..." Old Ford advised earnestly.

"The Idar army now has garrisons in various important cities. Just now, the Idar army stationed in Mann Fortress has a scale of more than 3,000 people, so there is no need to make a big move."

"And...whether...whether it is unknown whether the Kingdom of Basel can still have the strength to launch an attack..." Bruno said in a deep voice.

“You mean…”

"How bad are fighting and killing? Although the Idars are full of martial ethics, our duke is kind and loving to the people, broad-minded, and always upholds the concept of peace as the most important thing! So... Maybe we will give a few flowers to the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel and they will change their minds?"

"Send...send flowers?"

As if he had not seen everyone's surprise expression, Bruno continued to say with great enthusiasm:

"Yes, yes! It's great to send flowers! Not only do I have to send flowers, I also want to sell flowers! You should know that different bouquets symbolize different meanings and represent different flower languages. The colorful flowers can also make people feel happy both physically and mentally!"

Old Ford: "…"

Krell: "…"

The senior official Idal present knew in his heart that his Duke was really a far-sighted and far-sighted genius, but... sells flowers?!

Almost at this moment, Old Ford suddenly felt that he had returned to the past, when the Duke never had any director and had fun all day.

Can selling flowers avoid the upcoming war?

Is there really no serious illness in my own Duke’s mind??!

"You don't understand now. The one I want to give to the Kingdom of Basel... is not an ordinary bouquet!" Bruno said in a deep voice.

"Is it the flowering bullet of the Idar artillery unit?" Sarah Coren was vaguely excited.
To be continued...
