"What should we do? At this point, could he still stop?”
The president of Eastern Cloud Trading Company, Marquis of Jing 'an Luo Zhongjun, had a crazed look on his square face.
He had already discussed with the Westerners that once Great Qin's food crisis broke out, they would gather their forces to immediately launch a coup, imitating the Gaul Revolution and pushing Great Qin's Emperor to the guillotine. He would then form a new government, become the President, and side with the Westerners.
For this, he had made preparations for several years, spending half of his assets to rope in military and political officials and noble corporations before finally completing the plan.
However, God's plans were not as good as man's plans. Qin Zhen had actually broken through the western countries 'blockade and bought 10 million tons of grain, oil, and meat. In the future, millions of tons of grain would be sent to Great Qin every month.
How did Qin Zhen do it?
Luo Zhongjun was certain that the western countries would not sell a single grain to Great Qin!
Because of Great Qin's existence, the westerners felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats, and they could not eat or sleep in peace. Even Gaul, who had stopped Great Britain from destroying Great Qin after the European War, had banned the sale of food to Great Qin.
The reason was very simple. After Qin Zhen ascended the throne, not only did he predict the economic crisis in advance and make sufficient preparations, but he also implemented a series of new policies to allow the economy to recover quickly.
The western powers had suffered heavy losses. Why could a defeated country like you be able to survive the economic crisis safely?
In addition to Qin Zhen's drastic reforms, he removed all the military and political officials through tough means and replaced them with loyal confidants. The western powers could not sit still anymore.
Was Great Qin rising from the ashes?
In order to prevent Great Qin from regaining its power, the western countries had secretly discussed and decided to stop selling food to Great Qin and support the Qin people who were close to the west to overthrow Qin Zhen and completely destroy Great Qin.
And Luo Zhongjun was the person they had chosen to support!
The reason why he chose Luo Zhongjun was because he was the current Luo Clan Head.
The Luo Family of Great Qin was the family of Luo Wu, the founder of Great Qin. They were conferred the title of Marquis of Jing 'an and had been one of the top aristocratic families in Great Qin for more than 600 years. Most of their clansmen were involved in business or politics, or they entered the military to develop themselves. They had many students and old officials, and their influence was monstrous.
However, during the first battle, the commander of the Great Qin Navy Alliance was Luo Zhongjun's eldest brother, Luo Yunbing. Due to his headstrong personality, the alliance fell into the trap of the Western Alliance's fleet and was completely annihilated.
When the bad news came, Qin Zhen's cheapskate father, Long Chang Emperor Qin Ming, was so furious that he almost exterminated the entire Luo family.
If it wasn't for Prime Minister Zhou Yahui's pleading and analysis of the chain reaction caused by the extermination of the Luo family, Qin Ming would have been afraid of taking action, and the Luo family would have long ceased to exist.
However, the death penalty could be avoided, but the punishment could not be avoided. Luo Zhongjun, who was the deputy prime minister of the cabinet and only one step away from the throne of prime minister, was dismissed. Dozens of military and political officials of the Luo family faction were ordered to resign for various reasons.
Now, the 600-year-old Luo family had completely withdrawn from Great Qin's power center, leaving behind only two companies.
Luo Zhongjun, who had suffered an unexpected calamity, was naturally unwilling.
Seeing that he would no longer have the chance to enter the cabinet, he decided to join the western powers in a fit of anger and use their support to overthrow the royal family.
After the three years of the plague, they had had a chance to attack, but the economic crisis had broken out, and the western countries had been heavily injured. The anti-war sentiment within the country had risen, so they could not send troops to invade Great Qin.
After Qin Zhen ascended the throne, he took advantage of the Western powers 'busy dealing with the economic crisis to carry out drastic reforms. He completed the unification of power at an extremely fast speed and successfully revised the constitution to firmly grasp the military and political power.
As such, Great Qin's only option was to ban the sale of food.
However, this vicious plan was to kill 1,000 enemies and suffer 800 losses. After all, Great Qin was the world's largest food import country, and Great Britain had paid a huge price to convince the western countries to stop selling food to Great Qin.
Luo Zhongjun was very clear about the details, so he deduced that Great Britain would not lie to him.
Then the question was, where did Qin Zhen buy the grain from?
Where did the Galaxy Trading Company come from?
Luo Zhongjun could not figure it out. He sorted out his thoughts and decided to ask Great Britain first.
If Great Britain did not know about the existence of the Galaxy Trading Company, they would strengthen the blockade and stop the fleet of the Galaxy Trading Company.
Although 10 million tonnes of food seemed like a lot, it was not enough for Great Qin to last for three months.
After all, Great Qin had 15 million citizens.
"Calm down and wait for Great Britain's reply. Qin Zhen, who doesn't have a navy, is only struggling on his deathbed under the alliance and blockade of Great Britain's beautiful country, Fusang and Gaul!”
Luo Zhongjun consoled everyone calmly.
The people present also calmed down and felt that Luo Zhongjun's words made sense.
The Great Qin Navy only existed in name. As long as the Western Coalition Army increased their efforts to seal off Qin Island, would the Milky Way Trading Company still be able to fly over to deliver food to Qin Zhen?
This time, they were successfully sent to Xianyang Port. They probably took advantage of the loophole and got lucky.
"Marquis Jing 'an's words are reasonable. We were worrying too much.”
……
Xin Jia Po, Great Britain's Far East Squadron headquarters.
The commander of the Far East Squadron, Britt, received the telegram sent by Luo Zhongjun. He was shocked and a string of question marks appeared in his head.
Galaxy Trading Company? More than 300 50,000-ton giant freighters were sending food to Qin Zhen? They had already arrived at Xianyang Port and were currently unloading the goods?
God, how is this possible!
In order to destroy Great Qin, the Great Britain Parliament had to negotiate and sacrifice many benefits to convince the beautiful Gaul Fusang to send two-thirds of their navy to seal off Great Qin.
Thousands of warships surrounded Qin Island three times on the left and three times on the right. Not even a fly could fly into Qin Island, but that was a little exaggerated.
However, it was almost impossible for more than 300 giant cargo ships to bypass the blockade and reach Xianyang Port quietly.
Countless guesses flashed through Britt's mind.
Did Beauty Nation betray him?
Or did Gaul betray him?
Or had Fusang betrayed him?
It seemed impossible!
The reason why the Beauty Nation had fully cooperated with Great Britain to seal Great Qin and ban the sale of food was because Great Britain had agreed to take away one-third of Great Qin's elites after the plan was successful.
Because of this, the Beauty Nation had agreed to send out a fleet and cut off all food supplies to Great Qin.
Compared to the money they could earn from selling food, Great Qin's talents were more important!
Gaul requested Great Britain to cede the colony of Myanmar and dismantle the machinery and equipment in the two industrial zones along the coast of Great Qin and transport them back to Gaul.
Great Britain thought about it again and again and agreed to this seemingly harsh but actually reasonable request.
Fusang was even more black-hearted. Not only did they take one-third of the talented elites, but they also shamelessly targeted Chang 'an Shipyard and Xianyang Shipyard Base.
This was no longer asking for an exorbitant price. It was simply cutting off the flesh of Great Britain. Who didn't know that Chang 'an Shipyard and Xianyang Shipyard, which were ranked first and second in the world, were priceless treasures?
With these two shipyards and the millions of top-tier engineers and workers that Great Qin had nurtured over the years, Great Qin's national strength would greatly increase.
Great Britain refused without hesitation! Fusang was not angry and took a step back. As long as the Chang 'an Shipyard was slightly smaller than the Xianyang Shipyard Base, they would continue to export food to the Great Qin Empire.
Considering that Fusang's navy was the third strongest in the world and that they had invaded the fertile land of Northeast China, Great Britain could only grit its teeth and agree.
The four-nation alliance was officially formed, and Great Qin was sealed off.
Britt doubted his life. Since there was no possibility of the three countries betraying the Alliance, how did the fleet of the Milky Way Trading Company arrive at Xianyang Port?
"General, I suspect that it's the beautiful country…"
