Chapter 153 The reason for the war
"What!"
Xu Yi suddenly stood up. Because he got up too quickly, his body directly hit the table, raising the entire table, making a loud "bang" sound.
King Truc turned around and waved his hands to the guards who rushed in when they heard the sound, indicating that it was okay, and drove them out again, then looked at Xu Yi, waiting for his subsequent reaction.
After Xu Yi was stunned for a while, the expression on his face slowly returned to calm and he sat down again.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me what the cause is?"
&nbs《;Seeing Xu Yi's calmness so quickly, a look of admiration flashed across King Trutz's face and replied: "The cause... on the surface, it was caused by a smuggling case."
"Smuggling case?" Xu Yi frowned.
Because the Kingdom of Lampari and Sakh have always been hostile, transactions between the two countries' borders basically have to be completed by smuggling.
However, since the free trade zone between the two countries has been opened, there have been many fewer such smuggling cases because of the presence of a free trade venue.
Even if there are, it is mostly just a small fight to avoid tariffs, which does not affect the overall situation, and is not taken too seriously by both sides, making it even more unlikely to trigger a war between the two countries.
The only smuggling case that can have such great influence may only be related to that aspect.
Sure enough, King Truc nodded and continued: "Yes. According to the news announced by the Kingdom of Lampari, someone in the Kingdom of Lampari smuggled military magic machinery to the Kingdom of Sak..."
Speaking of this, King Trutz looked at Xu Yi and found that he had no surprise. He just frowned slightly and knew that Xu Yi was definitely aware of these things.
"After the discovery of the Kingdom of Lampari, he launched a crackdown on this smuggling case, and finally found it within the territory of the Kingdom of Sak. At the beginning, the Kingdom of Lampari only asked the Kingdom of Sak to hand over the prisoners suspected of smuggling, but was rejected by the Kingdom of Sak. As a result, the two sides clashed, and seven soldiers died in the Kingdom of Lampari, while dozens of border guards and several civilians were injured."
"And what? They started the war directly?" Xu Yi asked with a strange expression.
"Yes. The Lampari Kingdom quickly declared to the outside world that the Sak Kingdom launched an attack on the Lampari King team first, so it officially declared war on the Sak Kingdom. As for the result... I have already said it just now."
Xu Yi frowned deeply.
Of course, King Trutz didn't need to lie to him in such matters, but no matter what he thought, he felt that there was a strange feeling in this matter.
Even if the Kingdom of Lampari and Sakh have been hostile for hundreds of years, it is never easy for the two kingdoms to declare war.
What's more, the two countries finally formally determined the free trade zone, and for the first time in hundreds of years, bilateral mutual trade was launched, and they were on a good momentum of normal development. The Kingdom of Lampari was able to gain a lot of benefits from the Kingdom of Sakh by selling various magical machinery and other types of magical industrial products to the Kingdom of Sakh.
Under such circumstances, how could the Kingdom of Lampari suddenly declare war on the Kingdom of Sakh for no reason, and really launched a war, and even occupied nearly one-third of the territory of the southern province of Sakh in one breath?
Perhaps this is a very worthy thing for the people of the Lampari Kingdom who have been suppressed by the Sak Kingdom for hundreds of years of history. But in Xu Yi's opinion, it is completely inexplicable.
Who decided to start the war? Is it Sevini, who is Her Majesty the Queen?
Xu Yi shook his head and denied his own speculation.
Because she knew very well that Sevini was not the kind of brainless guy, and that when she signed a contract with the Kingdom of Saks and determined the free trade zone between the two sides, Xu Yi decided on it after discussing with her.
Sevini knew very well how much benefit the Kingdom of Lampari could get from this free trade zone, and actual data from last year and this year did prove it.
Xu Yi did not believe that Sevini did not understand the benefits that maintaining the current situation would bring to the Kingdom of Lampari, so she obviously could not take the initiative to launch a war to destroy the current good situation herself.
But if it weren't for Sevini, then the decision would have been made by others in the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, if this is true, it proves another even more terrifying possibility, that is, Sevini cannot truly control the Kingdom of Lampari, so she cannot even stop a war against the Kingdom of Sak.
This may have shocked Xu Yi even more than Sewini took the initiative to launch a war.
Although he appeared in the Kingdom of Lampari when he traveled to this world, he has been living in the Kingdom of Lampari for several years. In addition, the New Air Chamber of Commerce was founded and grew up in the Kingdom of Lampari, which made him always have a special relationship with the Kingdom of Lampari.
But the reason why he supported the Kingdom of Lampari was mostly based on the good relationship between him and Sevini.
He believed that Sevini was a suitable leader in the Kingdom of Lampari, supporting her ideals that helped her change people's lives through magical machinery.
But if the Kingdom of Lampari is not under Sevini's control, it means that Xu Yi's previous support and investment in the Kingdom of Lampari has lost his foundation and become out of his control.
In Xu Yi's mind, Sevini was completely integrated with the Kingdom of Lampari. If it weren't for the Kingdom of Lampari under Sevini's control, he would not have any different view of the Kingdom of Lampari.
So if the subsequent speculation is true, it will have an extremely serious impact on Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi asked King Truc in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Lampari declares war on the Kingdom of Sakh, in whose name is it?"
King Truc seemed not surprised that Xu Yi asked this question, smiled slightly, and replied: "Of course, it was in the name of Queen Sewini. Queen Sewini also issued a declaration of war through the Lampari Weekly before the war started. I happened to bring this Lampari Weekly. Do you want to read it?"
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, nodded, and took the "Lampari Weekly" handed over from King Trutz.
This war declaration proclamation issued in the name of Sevini was printed on the front page of the Lampari Weekly and marked in large words, which was extremely eye-catching.
The entire film is full of the front page and second page of Lampari Weekly, with about 3,000 words.
Xu Yi read the manifesto carefully, but he did not read the content of the article carefully, but focused his main energy on the tone of the article.
"Okay, then we will start to discuss in detail." (To be continued...)
