C3205 The Emperor's New Clothes

Yi Suobeila was about to go crazy. In her world, she had always been a gluttonous person who surrounded her like a moon and stars. No matter how the empire had declined, no matter if the people could survive, the Spanish Empire would still be strong under the lies made up by these despicable people.

As for his own downfall, it was just an uprising that happened among the ambitious warlords. A temporary military defeat did not mean that he would not be able to make a comeback in the future!

She could not see or hear what was happening in Spain when people were not living well, and she would talk nonsense all day long about why she did not eat minced meat. Would she know what the distant Philippines was like?

She did not know about the dilapidated wooden ships of the Southeast Asian fleet, or even the sixteenth-century bronze foundry cannons.

The colonists had not been equipped for over twenty years, and the best soldiers were merely holding rifles equipped with Mini Bullets. In the Indigenous soldiers's hands, there were only the oldest musket and shotgun.

Even more soldiers had to rely on their bows and spears to fight!

None of these queens knew that in her eyes, her empire ruled over a thriving landscape, not as prosperous as Britain or France, but it was also on the same level as the Austria. As for the Queen of Prussia, she didn't even put her empire in her eyes.

The Emperor's new clothes had been worn for too long, she didn't even know that she had become the laughing stock of the entire world!

"Shameless!" Shameless lie! Xiao Letian actually sent such an impolite diplomat, the strong Spain definitely will not accept such humiliation! "

"I will raise the flag of God and set fire to your land! The Vengeance Goddess is already staring at you, you have nowhere to run … "

Xiang Ying was already at a loss for words. Facing such a crazy Queen, all the roundabout words will have no effect, people even thought that your kind words are true.

"Your Majesty! Wake up, do you really not know anything about the Philippines? In this war, there were no more than thirty thousand soldiers who had a Mini Bullet Rifle before, and the rest were all aged musket. Even Napoleon's weapons were still in use during the war! "

"More soldiers, they even have to rely on bows and arrows and spears to fight... The Philippines' finances are on the verge of collapse, and the Governor is unable to satisfy your local greed, not to mention that the Governor himself is a corrupt person! "

"Your colonial government in the Philippines went bankrupt more than a decade ago. You can't even make ends meet!"

"Why do we have to go back to Manila in one night? If it wasn't for your rule being so bad, we wouldn't have fought so easily! "

"Face it! Dear Queen, you will never be able to take back the Philippine lands... I came here this time just to help out with the problem, and hope to be able to help you! "

"In other words, a single deal is possible!"

The fat pig Queen did not want to hear any bad words, but the court female servant by the Queen's side, Su Shan, understood it well, and had immersed herself in the imperial court for many years to understand a lot of things.

She whispered a few words into the queen's ear, and the queen's face gradually relaxed, "Alright then …" "Let's put aside our dispute first. It's already very late, let's invite the general to the banquet. We can slowly chat!"

Xiang Ying stood up and bowed slightly: "I hope the Queen can calm down and think about it, and face the reality …"

After the Chinese envoys left the meeting room, Yi Suobeila the Second said to Su Shan angrily, "Why are you stopping me? That scoundrel with a pretty face, I thought it was a gift from God, but in the end, it's even an infuriating enemy! "

Su Shan opened up her fan and fanned the Queen, "Your Majesty, calm down first … "Actually, what the Chinese just said wasn't all a lie!"

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, there is a serious financial crisis in the empire right now. All of the previous applications for armaments sent by the colonies have been suppressed by those ministers …"

"In places like the Philippines, we haven't allocated money for military spending for decades... In other words, what General Xiang Ying did, is most likely true! "

"What?" It's true! " "Do you mean to say that our brave soldiers are no match for the barbaric and backward Chinese?"

"It looks like... "That's it …"

"Damn it!" Even without weapons, they should still have faith! "The preacher of God, the sower of the gospel, will fight to the death even with a sword!"

"Yes, yes, yes …" "The queen is right, you are very right …" Su Shan quickly fanned the Queen's heart with even more effort.

"But before we send the Expeditionary forces, why not listen to the price? "It's not like I'm going to lose out if I hear this …"

No matter what they said, Yi Suobeila had calmed down this time. When she walked out of the meeting room, her expression had obviously calmed down a lot.

The banquet was held in the Queen's villa's huge banquet hall. There were at least 15 people on each side of the long table. The Queen was seated horizontally on the short table with Spanish officials on her left and Chinese delegations on her right.

Xiang Ying was right where his right hand could reach, and on the left was that wretched old man with the goatee.

Even the Queen, who had stepped down from the throne, continued to live an extremely luxurious life. Top quality Spanish ham, seafood with saffron, and black fish food with black sauce … Director Zero served the dishes like flowing water.

There was even the Hell's Vine, which Xiang Ying had often heard of but never seen before, among the main dishes!

These ugly shells were like the fingers of a devil, a type of delicacy fishermen use their lives to exchange for. These little things were hidden in the stormy reef and only grew in the cracks of the reef where the waves lashed at them.

The fishermen who picked the hell barnacles had to watch the tide, avoid the waves, and dig out the barnacles that were firmly fixed to the reef in the shortest time possible.

This little guy's adhesion was very strong. Sometimes, between the two tides, there was only enough time for the fishermen to dig one or two … After that, he had to dodge the wave immediately, otherwise, if he didn't die, he would be injured!

Almost every year, a large number of coastal fishermen lost their lives digging out barnacles. Therefore, these biologists called the barnacles "Goose Neck Barnacles", which were nicknamed "Underworld Barnacles".

The Queen looked at Xiang Ying and introduced him with a silly smile, "This is a very rare delicacy off the coast of Spain, it's called the Underworld Vine!"

"The taste is extremely delicious... "Some Gourmet once said that this hellish food, which costs a person's life for every ten pounds, is the devil Satan used to tempt the good …"

"But who can escape the temptation of the devil …"

As the vine entered Xiang Ying's mouth, just as Xiang Ying was about to taste the flavor, he was shocked by the words, 10 pounds for one life!

"What?" This little thing wants to trade with just one life for ten pounds? "
