Chapter 15 War does not necessarily require Power

Despite the headache, Lucifer insisted on continuing the meeting. After all, he has already taken over the crown, and now it is not the time to complain about the past, but to find a way to solve the current problem. However, there are some things that need to be explained in advance.

"Hostility? This is no longer hostility, but the rhythm of killing people without giving us a chance while we haven't recovered. I won't ask how much of that "many land" is still preserved, but in the future, I think you all Can be based on my new national policy."

After Lucifer had finished speaking, the four dukes also said that the problem was not big.

"This is natural." Rhongomyniad spoke first.

"no problem." Then there is Boudica.

"I will obey the king's decision." Georgios also stated at the same time.

The only person who didn't say anything was Semiramis. She was looking at Lucifer with an artistic gaze, and said slowly after a while.

"I want to remind you, my king, as you said, the current situation in Britain is very dangerous. If the immediate matter is not resolved, I am afraid there will be no future."

Lucifer didn't make any promises of big talk, he knew that to deal with the duchess in front of him, doing it is always more useful than talking.

"Duke, how much do you know about Holy Rome?" He said directly.

"What do you want to say?" Semiramis subconsciously narrowed his smile.

She instinctively thought that Lucifer wanted to use this as an excuse to hold her accountable, but that was just a misunderstanding. Lucifer had never thought of this before. Now it's the enemy. Don't say she has no problem. Even if she really has a problem, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, Lucifer will pretend not to see it.

"Sorry! There may be something wrong with my statement. I apologize to you first, my lady. I mean, can your intelligence network be able to contact Shenate. Especially the members of the Shenate elders."

Lucifer's words did not fully explain, but Semiramis already understood what he meant. This is also her favorite practice.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

There was no response, but the rhetorical question itself already explained her ability.

"Does it affect it? Even if it's only part of it, it's good! Tell them, I'm willing to talk to them, and talk to them with money equal to time. Even if our two countries are really at war, they will have to Without the slightest benefit, the military exploits will only belong to the generals and the governor. Tell them this. I believe those people will not have trouble with the money." Lucifer analyzed the current situation seriously.

The Senate in Rome has a certain influence in the country. As long as the conditions are good, it shouldn't be difficult to make use of them.

"Do you stop sending troops? Don't expect too much from those people, the usual little actions don't matter. But they can't make this decision at all, and it doesn't make sense to talk to them, especially because they will worry about the emperor's anger."

Semiramis immediately poured cold water on Lucifer.

"I'm not naive enough to rely on them to get things done. I mean, let them argue with other people about the necessity of this war. You don't need to stop it completely, just postpone the time to send troops, you don't have to offend the emperor at all. At most. Two months, at least one month is the bottom line. As long as they can do it, we will pay them a reward that will make their heart beat." Lucifer explained his intentions.

If those guys were directly asked to stop the dispatch of troops, they probably wouldn't dare to do it, considering the anger of the Roman emperor. But if it is only delayed for a month, they can do it. After all, talking nonsense is what they do best.

Just talk nonsense and you can get money, which is not betraying the motherland. Those veterans should be happy to help their wallets.

Semiramis brightened his eyes and thought this method was not bad.

"It's not difficult to do. Where do you plan to get this money from? What I want to remind you is..."

"The palace. I looked at the decorations of the palace before. If nothing else, the royal family should still have a lot of private money. I am now the king, and the money belongs to me. It is not difficult to take out a pieces of it."

"The money problem is solved, there is one more problem. Only two months, what about after two months?"

"This is what I want to say now. The Britain in front of us seems very dangerous, but the key source is not the north, nor the east, but the south. As long as you quickly defeat the French in the south and force them to sign a truce, All problems are not problems." Lucifer stood up, pressing both on the table, looking at the four grand dukes sitting.

In a chaotic situation, Lucifer quickly found the key to the problem. Not to the north, nor to the east, but to the south. The north and the east are at best taking advantage of the fire, and they will retreat without seeing the result, but the south is different. They will not retreat until they are fell to the ground and rubbed their face in it.
