The emperor and the Imperial Guard stood under the steps of the main entrance of the castle. Two twenty-meter-high war engines stood on the left and right. A company of Fire Knights stood on both sides of the red carpet behind the Emperor and the Imperial Guards. They wore ritual armor and added many decorative ritual armor. For mortals, MK2 Martian bomb rifles, which were completely called large-caliber anti-equipment weapons, were neatly held on the chest. The magnetic suction armament belts on the waist were all equipped with one-person-high sheathed energy sword instead of cheaper chain saw swords. They were used to show the military rank and the lower edge of the shoulder armor to which the troops belonged, and above the ritual eagle, lightning, laurel wreath and oak leaf wreath, etc. for ceremony decorations. The helmets were all replaced with centurion-style blood-red feathers.

The headed flag bearer held an eagle flag with a golden eagle sculpture at the top. These more ritualized Hell Knights only wore plasma pistols, but were covered with blood-red cloaks that symbolize war. The overall style of the entire guard of honor is the shape of gold and red. The power armor of the emperor and the guards, as well as the banners hanging on the war engine and the decoration on the outer armor, are also the same style, which runs contrary to the high-tech simplicity that the world loves.

Therefore, when the envoys led by Su Rui walked on the red carpet to shake hands with the emperor, the contrast brought by the collision of the two different styles was extremely strong. However, no one had any objections to Latovigna's style with great artistic taste, because all the Wakandans still clearly remember the consequences of the joining of the Wakandan civil war. Even if they had never seen the Fire Knights with their own eyes before, the red carpet surrounded by giants at this moment also brought great psychological pressure to the Wakandans. Ordinary people must raise their heads to see the mechanical lock on the lower edge of the Fire Knight's helmet when seeing genetically modified warriors.

The weather in the capital of Latovignan was too clear. Surei saw that the repaired spire at the top of the castle was almost black under the excessively blue sky halo. The giant gray-black building threw away the gloom of the past, and brought a hint of brightness because of the deciduous plants cultivated by the walls. August and September are the best season for tourism in the Balkans. The Wakanda envoys came just right. The humid and sultry summer has come to an end. The dry and cool autumn is coming. This season is also a good time to taste the sweet wine of the Hungarian province and the sweet wine of Tokaiosu and Romanian wine.

All those who know the emperor know that he loves strong wine, so compared to the soft Tokaiosu sweet wine, the emperor prefers Palinca brandy that everyone in Hungarian provinces can make. All civilians in Hungarian provinces know through the media that the emperor must take a cup of his own brew after morning exercise every morning, without water, and then handle official duties or combat in a full spirit. This news was fabricated by the news department of the State Council. Although the emperor likes strong wine, it will not limit the variety. The photos taken by the news were in public. When the Hungarian provinces saw the emperor drinking a large glass of brandy with a concentration of 50%, they could still jump around. Stephanie Malik used this to create an image of an iron-fisted leader and an approachable person.

Drinking this Hungarian favorite spirit helps populists regard the emperor as their own people, thereby reducing the resistance to reform among the people of Hungary. All the actions and decisions taken by the emperor are for politics, state and ideal services. Even his lunch in public must choose Romanian spirits?uic?, which is the few pleasures brought by the crown. After all, the spirits provided to the castle are rare treasures.

"I'm very happy that you can come, Princess Surui." The emperor smiled and shook hands with the head of the Wakanda mission. "The castle prepared a banquet for Wakanda. I really hope that the Wakanda people can get along with the Latovians. The two countries in the world that have the ability and ideals to work hard on human progress should work closely together."

All of these polite words were shot by the camera. Until the banquet began, the Emperor and Stephanie Malik had many questions to talk about with the Wakanda delegation, which were not allowed to be recorded by the media. Wakanda and Latovigna reached many contracts, one of which was to rebuild a civilian high-speed network system throughout the country to replace the old network system in the Balkans with the Mars Foundry, the Immortal City. This cooperation will establish three state-owned communications companies affiliated with Wakanda, the Immortal City and the Mars Foundry, as well as a large number of factories that produce equipment necessary for the information industry, which can solve employment problems in different classes.

This alone can bring a steady stream of revenue to Wakanda, not to mention other engine manufacturing similar to those brought by suspended speed companies and civil metal processing industries. Latovigna, which has a whole Mars as the industrial backing, does not need to endure the pros and cons of the global economy.

Through the advantages brought by the beheading strike in the first expansion war, Latovigna has now initially got rid of the food problem through the grain harvest in Romanian provinces, and even has the ability to use this card to push up the food prices in Europe, as the capital for international political game to force Western Europe to trade with Latovigna. Oil that completed the reorganization and cleaning also stopped exporting completely due to Latovigna's own needs, and used Wakanda's advanced exploration technology for in-depth exploitation, and cooperated with allies to push up the energy prices in Europe in exchange for the discourse of international politics.

Wakanda will receive a large amount of grain exports from Romania in exchange for part of the industrial production line. This is another conspiracy between the emperor and the industrial nobles of the golden tribe, and one of the means to accelerate the expansion of Wakanda's industrial expansion. The benefits generated by this thick contract satisfy all Wakanda nobles, and even the agricultural nobles who were weakened by the terms were happy that they could obtain biochemical farm technology from Latovia, including genetic engineering technologies such as genetically modified crop cultivation, in which Latovia went far further than Wakanda - able to create more valuable agricultural products, and were completely unaware of the impact of the changes brought about by these terms.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is even more impossible for them to notice the whispers between the emperor who changed into casual clothes and Princess Su Rui during the banquet.

"Control food is equivalent to controlling the country." The emperor raised his wine glass and whispered, "Wakanda's centralization relies on religious legitimacy. If he loses religious legitimacy, the blood of the Fourth Dynasty will lose the rule law and lose the political foundation of the clan. Food is sacred than religious legitimacy, because hungry people will not want to listen to the preaching of the priests. I sincerely suggest that my allies can replace a more stable rule base, such as agricultural production outside the royal control."

"I never knew your tongue was so good at provoking," Su Rui said.

"This is just a suggestion, my friend." The emperor still kept smiling. "I believe that there were a large number of rulers in Wakanda's history who had tried to solve this problem, but an interest alliance composed of industry, commerce, and agriculture is an existence that all black panthers cannot challenge. No matter who the person sitting on the throne is, this interest alliance is so dungeon-unbreakable, they are the uncrowned kings."

"You are still trying to provoke."
