v5 Chapter 153: Reason for the war (1/2)
”what!”
Xu also stood up fiercely. As he got up too fast, the body directly hit the table, and the whole table was bumped up and raised a loud bang.
King Truz turned and waved to the guards who heard the sounds, indicating that nothing was wrong, then drove them out, and then looked at Xu Yi, waiting for his follow-up reaction.
After Xu also sent for a while, his expression slowly returned to calm and he sat down again.
After a moment of indulgence, Xu also asked: ”Your Majesty, can you tell me what is the cause?”
&nbs”; seeing Xu also recovering calm so quickly, King Truz passed a look of appreciation and replied: ”The cause... On the surface, it is caused by a smuggling case.”
”Smuggling case?” Xu also frowned.
Because the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark are hostile relations all the year round, the transactions between the borders of the two countries are basically done by smuggling.
But since the opening of the free trade zone between the two countries, this smuggling case has been much less because of a free-trade place.
Even if there are, most of them are just some small-scale scams to avoid switching taxes, which do not affect the overall situation, nor are they too much valued by both sides, and it is even less likely to trigger a war between the two countries.
The only smuggling case that can have such a big influence is probably related to that aspect.
Sure enough, King Truz nodded and continued: ”Yes. According to the announcement of the Lanpari Kingdom, there are people inside the Lampari Kingdom who smuggle military magical machinery to the Sark Kingdom...”
Speaking of this, King Truz looked at Xu and found that he did not have any unexpected expression. Just frowning slightly. I know that Xu is absolutely aware of these things.
”After the discovery of the Kingdom of Lampari, the smuggling case was attacked. The result was traced back to the territory of the Sark Kingdom. At the beginning, the Kingdom of Lampari only asked the Sark Kingdom to hand over the suspected smuggler, but it was The rejection of the Sark Kingdom. As a result, the two sides clashed, and seven soldiers died in the conflict in the Kingdom of Lampari. The Sark Kingdom lost dozens of border guards and several civilians. ”
”And then? Are they going to war directly?” Xu also asked strangely.
”Yes. The Kingdom of Lampari soon announced that the Sark Kingdom had launched an attack on the Lanpari Kings, and officially declared war on the Sark Kingdom. As for the result... I have already said it.”
Xu Yi brows deeply wrinkled.
Of course, King Truz does not have to lie to him in this kind of thing, but no matter what he thinks. I feel that there is a lot of surprise in this matter.
Even though the relationship between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark has been hostile for centuries, for both kingdoms, formal declaration of war is by no means an easy task.
What's more, the two countries have finally confirmed the free trade zone. For the first time in hundreds of years, bilateral trade has been opened. It is in the good momentum of normal development. The Lampari Kingdom is able to sell all kinds of goods to the Sark Kingdom. A variety of magical machinery and other kinds of magical industrial products receive a lot of benefits from the Sark Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, how could the Kingdom of Lampari suddenly and unexplainedly declare war on the Sark Kingdom, and really launched the war, and even occupied one third of the territory of the southern province of the Sark Kingdom in one breath?
Perhaps this is a very worthy thing to do for the people of the Lampari Kingdom who were suppressed by the Sark Kingdom in the past hundreds of years. But in Xu Yi's opinion, it is completely inexplicable.
Who is going to decide to go to war? Is it the Servini who is the Queen?
Xu also shook his head. Negated this speculation.
Because she is very clear, Sevigny is not the kind of guy who has no brains, and signed a contract with the Sark Kingdom to determine the free trade zone between the two sides. It was originally confirmed by Xu and her.
Sevigny is well aware of how much the Kingdom of Lampari can benefit from this free trade zone, and the actual data from last year and this year does prove this.
Xu also does not believe that Servini does not understand the benefits that the current situation can bring to the Kingdom of Lampari. It is obviously impossible for her to take the initiative to launch a war to destroy the current good situation.
But if it wasn't for Sevigny, then the decision should be made by other people in the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, if this is the case, it proves another, more horrible possibility, that is, Sevigny can't really control the Kingdom of Lampari, so that she can't stop even fighting this kind of thing to the Sark Kingdom.
This may be even more shocking than Sevigny’s initiative to launch a war.
Although he crossed the world to appear in the Kingdom of Lampari, he has been living in the Kingdom of Lampari for several years, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was founded and raised in the Kingdom of Lampari, making him a king of Lampari. There is always a special feeling.
