Sand Palace, King's Conference Room. Prime Minister Flov, Minister of Foreign Affairs Leon, Minister of Finance Kuazi, Minister of Defense Chris, Minister of Internal Affairs Urich, Chief of Kvovo Intelligence Bureau Gruyer, Chairman of the Seville Joint Parliament Kroev, and other high-ranking officials of the Northern Sand Empire were gathered.
Mayer stood in the king's seat, holding the latest issue of the US media. The headline was a photo of Mayer wearing the king's costume.
The headline read," Imperialism is about to descend on the world again. Is the tyrant of the Balkans about to rise?”，Mayer raised the newspaper high, indicating that his trusted aides could read it more clearly. Then he laughed at himself,"
"Look, you made me look quite handsome!”
However, Mayer's self-mockery didn't change the solemn atmosphere of the meeting. No one was in the mood to make fun of him, and they were all worried about the future of the Northern Sand Empire.
President Lennart and President Sofia openly opposed King Mayov in the country. They were preparing to vote to leave Northern Sand and send the so-called " army " to resist the Northern Sand Empire army.
This matter had severely affected the fragile and tense nerves of the Northern Sand Empire's upper echelons. Everyone understood that a civil war was just around the corner.
"Now, the Swadian President Lennart and the Ivorian President are brazenly defying the will of the country and attempting to use the plebiscus and the army to break down the last dam of the Northern Sand Alliance Empire's territorial integrity.
"This is a complete act of treason. I will repeat myself. Although the Northern Sand Empire has a huge territory, not a single one of them is redundant. Swainia and Sevdia are important countries that join the Northern Sand Empire by the sea.
The border of Europe is the Northern Sand Empire's buffer position. If they want to be independent, I, the King of the Northern Sand Empire, Mayov, will never agree. The people of the Northern Sand Empire will never agree.
I believe that all of you, the higher-ups of the Northern Sand government, will not agree to this!”
Mayer's words were deafening. He looked at the crowd with an aloof confidence, waiting for their response.
"I will resolutely carry out your orders, Your Majesty. I will never allow traitors to leave the Northern Sand Empire's territory. This is the greatest insult to me and the army.”
Chris was the first to express his determination. It was obvious that he wanted to start a war.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, waging war now can certainly defeat the rebels of the allied countries, but just like the polar bear attack on afghanistana back then, it will only worsen the people's livelihood and economy of the country.
"If there is a civil war, it will only completely infuriate the Srians and Croats of Swainia and Crodia. They are not united with us."
Even if the army occupied them, it would be a headache because of the endless guerrilla and suicide attacks after the war. I think if we can resolve this peacefully through diplomatic means, it will save a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. After all, war is only a continuation of politics.”
Foreign Minister Leon did not support a civil war. The current Northern Sand Empire was in chaos, and its economy was stagnant. Only Seville was doing well, and the other regions were more like slums.
Such slums were the most terrifying. Just think about how a small country like afghanistandragged the polar bear into the cemetery. The current Northern Sand Empire was extremely weak, and war would only accelerate the destruction of Northern Sand.
"I agree with the suggestion of the minister of Leon.”Kuaqi, the finance minister, echoed.
"Tell me what you think, Minister Kuaqi.”Mayer was surprised. He didn't expect two ministers to oppose his war plan.
"Civil war? Why did we start a civil war? Our economy is already in such a terrible state. Our country has been experiencing economic difficulties for three years. The rate of economic growth has plummeted.
The growth rate of national income and industrial output value has dropped by half compared to ten years ago. Starting from this year, our country's economy has plunged. The total social output value has dropped by 3% and national income has dropped by 5%.
The total value of labor has dropped by 3%, and now that we are starting a civil war, our finances are only enough to sustain 15 days of war funds. If this drags on, I believe that the Northern Sand Empire will not fall under the enemy's guns, but will fall under the collapse of our banknotes. We will disintegrate due to the economic crisis.”
Kuazi, the finance minister, spoke eloquently. All the data he presented made Mayer and the other ministers present blush. The Northern Sand Empire's economy was indeed in shambles.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Once we start a civil war, our country will slide into the abyss. You will also be described as the executioner of Europe and the king of the evil empire. The entire world will stand beside the allied countries and resist us.
Then we will be subjected to the harshest economic sanctions in the world, and our people will not be able to eat bread and cheese, and will only be able to eat tree bark in the mound.”
Prime Minister Pavlov also calmly comforted Mayer. Once the war machine was activated, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, Northern Sand's powerful backer, Polar Bear, had fallen.
