Doomsday Code

Chapter 852 The Development of the Moss Kingdom

When Holmes heard Huidun's question, he laughed and said:

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so nervous. This matter is urgent, so Your Highness needs to discuss it with His Majesty first. You will also need to discuss it with the ministers at the morning court after dawn."

This doesn't mean Huidun is too cautious, but rather that the situation is unclear.

Although his father, King Moss XIII, did not explicitly say what measures he would take against Chen Cheng, he also did not say whether he would support him.

Although it seems to outsiders that not taking any measures is helping, only Huidun, who is truly involved in the politics of the kingdom, knows that this is a backup plan left by his father.

If anything happened to Chen Cheng, Huidun absolutely believed that his father would immediately draw a clear line with Brown, and people like Finier who were related to Brown would definitely be dealt with.

Huidun was between his father and his friend.

So it’s no wonder Huidun became suspicious when he was suddenly summoned late at night.

Because it was still dark, only the side door of the palace could be opened.

Holmes made a gesture of invitation to Huidun, and then followed Huidun into the palace gate.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister, please follow me."

Aoi clasped his fists and saluted.

Following behind Aoi, Huidun asked:

"Master Kui Er, I wonder how Master Kui Yi is doing now. Did that earth brain help you achieve enlightenment?"

Kui Er showed no arrogance towards Hui Dun, and said with a bow:

"I haven't had time to thank His Highness for the gift of the treasure. We don't know whether Brother Kui has achieved enlightenment yet, but two years have passed, so I believe he will be there soon."

Arriving at the study, Aoi bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister have arrived."

"Come in, everyone."

The weak voice of Moss XIII came from inside.

When Huidun heard this voice, his heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward, opened the door and walked in.

"Father."

Huidun spoke with concern.

In the study, Moss XIII was wearing a thin set of pajamas, and it could be seen that he was now very thin.

"See Your Majesty."

Holmes, who came in later, saluted him.

"Since you are here, please take a seat."

"Father."

Huidun wanted to persuade Moss XIII not to work so hard and to take care of his health.

However, Moss XIII waved his hand and said:

"Father knows what you want to say. Father is fine, and his mind is still clear. I can pave the way for you to ascend the throne in the future."

"Well, today I'm not going to talk about my health. Just before nightfall, the House of Representatives sent an invitation. This time, the House of Representatives meeting was brought forward by several major kingdoms with permanent seats."

Although this sounds like just an ordinary matter of advancing the meeting, considering the current political situation, convening the House of Representatives ahead of schedule is definitely not a good thing for their Kingdom of Moss.

The study became quiet in an instant.

After waiting for a moment, Moss XIII looked at Huidun and said:

"You are the crown prince. The kingdom will eventually be managed by you, so please speak."

Huidun looked at Moss XIII, then took a deep breath and said:

"I think we have to have two options."

"It goes without saying that the reason the House of Representatives convened earlier this time is related to His Majesty. His Majesty has been missing for three years now, and they have spent a lot of money searching for three years but have found nothing.

Therefore, I believe the purpose of this meeting is to eliminate the forces that Your Majesty can now rely on."

"And it's obvious that our Kingdom of Moss is one of the targets to be cleared out."

"So this time we must not only go all out in the House of Representatives to achieve a political situation that is favorable to us, but we must also be ready to launch a war with a large army and defeat the enemy militarily."

Huidun's words were very clear. The Kingdom of Moss would support Chen Cheng in the future, because it was no longer a question of whether they were willing or not, but that those big kingdoms had already classified the Kingdom of Moss into Chen Cheng's camp.

Moss XIII did not say that he could explain to the House of Representatives that he was not a remnant of the Empire, but continued to ask:

"Since you said we need to prepare for both scenarios, do you think we can win with both scenarios?"

Huidun didn't brag, he just shook his head and said:

"I'm not sure I'll win, but I'm absolutely sure I won't lose."

"Even before your Majesty's identity was exposed, we had already made sufficient preparations.

The knowledge inheritance and exchange platform initiated by His Majesty and hosted by your son has been popularized to the Adventurer's Guild, the Academy Alliance and the Elves.

All I have to do is give up my voting rights and I will get the three families' promise to remain silent.

At the same time, the dojo that His Majesty provides technical support for has now infiltrated the entire Adventurer's Guild, and almost all of the lower-level members have benefited from the dojo.

And these people will naturally have a good impression of the temple established by Your Majesty.

We just need to increase the discounts at the dojo, and even if these people can't help us, they definitely won't help us against us."

"At the same time, economically, due to the accelerated industrialization, the products we produce have now overwhelmed the economic markets of several surrounding kingdoms and have radiated throughout the empire.

As long as economic sanctions are used, the economies of the surrounding kingdoms will immediately come to a standstill, and all kingdoms within the empire will suffer varying degrees of economic loss."

"In terms of military, we have already completed the preparation of a new army of 300,000 soldiers, equipped with over 100,000 large-caliber artillery pieces. In terms of firepower projection, no other army on the entire continent can match us.

The combat effectiveness exceeds that of the old three million-strong army."

"Also, just before nightfall today, the Institute of Science submitted a plan for the development and production of new weapons.

One of these new weapons is powerful enough to rival an epic subversive powerhouse.

As long as the new weapons are put into production, we will be able to remain undefeated even if the enemy has demigod-level warriors."

Huidun talked about everything from the political, economic and military perspectives. It can be said that if this world did not have such unreasonable existences as the demigods, the current strength of the Kingdom of Moss would not be afraid of those old powers at all.

After hearing this, Moss XIII was also a little surprised, especially when Huidun mentioned the economic sanctions.

Because industrialization is a brand new concept, and he is old and lacks energy, all these matters are handled by Huidun alone.

He didn't expect that Huidun would use this to erode the economic markets of all the surrounding kingdoms.

Although war is inevitable, a real war will definitely not involve a few large kingdoms sending large armies from thousands of miles away to attack. At most, they will support a few surrounding kingdoms.

With the means to control the economy within their kingdom, the Kingdom of Moss has the final say on whether to fight or make peace.

As for the communication platform that Huidun mentioned, it would be like courting disaster with those big forces, so he didn't care too much.
