Volume 6 Chapter 133 - Meeting Of Ambassadors (1/2)
After leaving the Lampuri Kingdom royal palace, Xu Yi couldn’t help turning around before helplessly shaking his head.
Why did Seveni want to take Teresa?
Apart from the little bit of spy training that this little girl received from the Sack Kingdom army, the only value that she had other than her appearance, was probably the bit of time that she had contact with magic machines when she worked for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
If Seveni wanted to learn this from her, there was no need at all.
Because since he started suspecting Teresa, Xu Yi had Evita closely watch her the entire time and controlled the amount of material that she could contact.
She indeed did know some important material to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but she couldn’t make any use of it alone. Not to mention that Xu Yi had Evita add in a few fake things, so even if someone really took it, the final result would be like the Sack Kingdom, not getting back what they invested.
Of course, the Sack Kingdom’s battle strength in their war against the Antila Kingdom was considered very strong for the other countries, but in Xu Yi’s eyes, it wasn’t worth anything.
He was clear how big the flaws the military magic machines developed by the Sack Kingdom had. Because the Lampuri Kingdom had won so easily, even though he told Seveni these flaws, the Lampuri Kingdom army never had a chance to exploit them.
So Teresa wasn’t important at all in Xu Yi’s eyes. Before the Lampuri Kingdom declared war on the Sack Kingdom, he had Evita expose her and detain her.
Strictly speaking, a spy that stole the important secrets of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi should punish her. In most countries, this kind of person would be executed.
However, Vivian had always treated Teresa as a good friend and kept begging for her, which made it hard for Xu Yi to make a move.
Now that Seveni was taking the initiative to ask for Teresa from Xu Yi, it indirectly helped Xu Yi solve this problem.
“It’s fine, she hasn't caused any real damage to the company anyway and she is a pitiful person who has always been used by others, so giving her to Seveni to handle is also fine. This way, Vivian shouldn’t blame me……”
Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh and shook his head before letting out a soft breath. He threw out the thoughts of these little girls from his mind and he focused on the important thing that he needed to focus on.
What happened in the war between the Lampuri Kingdom and Sack Kingdom naturally had many reasons, there were many analyses from the people who cared about this war.
However for Xu Yi, there was only one reason for this and it was the economy.
There was a famous phrase on earth and it was that war was always an extension of the economy.
To Xu Yi, the most important thing in the war between the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom was this.
Many people only cared about the transfer of land and compensation money in the ceasefire agreement, but very few people cared about the Sack Kingdom completely opening themselves to the Lampuri Kingdom.
To Xu Yi, this was the most important thing.
Opening everything meant that the Sack Kingdom’s internal market wasn’t guarded against the Lampuri Kingdom at all.
With the completely magic machine industrial system in the Lampuri Kingdom, Xu Yi could imagine that it wouldn’t take long before the cheap and beautiful products from the Lampuri Kingdom would flood into the Sack Kingdom, completely seizing the Sack Kingdom’s domestic market.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Sack Kingdom’s entire economy should be firmly grasped in the hands of the Lampuri Kingdom and they wouldn’t be able to put up any resistance at all.
On the Sines Continent, the method that everyone was used to was seizing all the land. After the Lampuri Kingdom’s northern army won again and again, the Lampuri Kingdom had calls to seize all of the Sack Kingdom and even Seveni had been moved by this idea before.
But under the persuasion of Xu Yi, Seveni finally gave up this idea and decided to adopt this slow corrosion method.
Because of the limited communication, the people of the Sines Continent had very light concepts of country. Most of the citizens only knew who their lords were and didn’t care much about their country.
Now that the Lampuri Kingdom had received the seven southern cities, as long as they focused on propaganda, they wouldn’t need to spend that much time before the citizens of those seven cities would become citizens of the Lampuri Kingdom.
As long as the Lampuri Kingdom continued with this plan, it wouldn’t be a problem to completely corrode the Sack Kingdom.
For the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the benefits they received from this wasn’t just this.
Xu Yi was interested in the Sack Kingdom’s domestic market, but that wasn’t the most important thing. What he cared about more after the Sack Kingdom was completely opened was for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to continue developing north through the Sack Kingdom.
In reality, the main reason for the Lampuri Kingdom to suddenly declare war on the Sack Kingdom was because the Sack Kingdom declared war on the Antila Kingdom.
The Antila Kingdom was the Sack Kingdom’s neighbour to the north and in Xu Yi’s development plan, the Antila Kingdom was a very important kingdom.
