Chapter 159 - 159 God Bless The Mieln Federation!
159 God Bless The Mieln Federation!
As for William becoming the strongest human, his prestige had soared. The most anxious one was not the Yunmeng Kingdom, but the Mieln Federation.
The most direct reaction was from the Mieln Federation’s stock market.
After the insect disaster in the Black Maple Kingdom, the Mieln Federation’s stock market began to fall, and the fall was more than 5%.
The Mieln Federation’s head of state, Denleigh, made a speech, expressing that the Mieln Federation was confident in defeating the insect disaster and showing the relevant images of the Mieln Federation eliminating the insect tribe at the border.
Only then did the stock market stop its decline.
However, after William’s appearance and his one-man army defeating the insect disaster in the Black Maple Kingdom, the Mieln Federation’s stock market could no longer stabilize. Large amounts of money fled, and the stock market plummeted.
Unlike the Yunmeng Kingdom, the Mieln Federation implemented the strategy of becoming a strong financial country. More than 80% of the country’s wealth was in the stock market. If the stock market fell, the position of the head of state would not be stable.
Society would also be in turmoil.
At this moment, in the Black Palace of the head of state of the Mieln Federation, the head of state, Denleigh, the president of the financial reserve, Whitman, and the president of the freedom council, Silver, were talking.
With a head full of white hair, Denleigh shouted at the president of the financial reserve in a righteous manner, “Whitman, I order you to quickly adjust the currency policy. I need a large amount of money to stabilize the stock market!”
Whitman’s expression was serious and meticulous. His hair was neatly combed, and there was not a single wrinkle in his suit. Compared to the head of state’s old age, he was in his prime, a prime time for strength.
In the face of the head of state’s order, he unhurriedly analyzed, “Dear head of state, even if I were to announce a rate cut now, it won’t save the stock market.
“William is from the Kingdom of Mies, and a Kingdom of Mies man single-handedly defended an insect disaster in the Black Maple Kingdom. This showed the Kingdom of Mies’ great power.
“In contrast, when the Mieln Federation was in danger, they were indifferent and only thought about defense. In the eyes of the capital market, this is a sign of insufficient strength.
“Capital naturally likes a stable environment.
“All of the major capital markets now think that the Kingdom of Mies is safer than the Mieln Federation. The money we’ve released will eventually flow into the capital market of the Kingdom of Mies, and we won’t be able to reverse the decline of the Mieln Federation’s stock market.”
Looking at the nervous state head, a look of disdain flashed in Whitman’s eyes. He had some doubts about the Mieln Federation’s democratic system. This was a leader that was elected by all people and was simply an opportunist who knew nothing.
“The current situation is the result of the conservative decision the Mieln Federation has made regarding the insect disaster in the Black Maple Kingdom,” he said firmly. “We can’t solve the problem by relying on financial policies. I don’t agree with interest rate increases.
Whitman’s words were ridiculing Denleigh’s earlier mistake.
After being humiliated by Whitman, Denleigh couldn’t sit still any longer and stood up.
“F*ck! Son of a b*tch!”
Denleigh didn’t have any of the manners of an elite and cursed directly.
Just as the situation was about to turn awkward, the president of the freedom council, Silver, spoke.
“Denleigh, mind your words and tone! If it wasn’t out of respect for the Mieln Federation’s system, I would have asked you to get lost right now!”
The freedom council was an organization formed by the high-rank awakeners of the Mieln Federation. There were many Overlord realm powerhouses in the council who were not afraid of nuclear weapons.
Since the emergence of Overlords among the awakeners, the position of the freedom council in the Mieln Federation had become more and more transcendent. Whether it was the head of state, the financial reserve, the court, or the army, they were basically all under the control of the freedom council.
If Silver really wanted to lose all decorum and forcefully remove the head of state supported by the financial group, it would only take a few words.
Hence, after hearing Silver’s words, Denleigh’s face turned red. He was extremely angry, but he still bowed his head and did not dare to say anything.
After tricking Denleigh, Silver said, “The Black Maple Kingdom has always been a neighboring country of the Mieln Federation. To put it nicely, it’s a neighboring country. To put it bluntly, it’s our subsidiary country or younger brother.
“For so many years, the National Defense Force of the Black Maple Kingdom did not exceed 50000, and the National Defense expenditure was almost negligible.
“What made them so relaxed? It is the power of the Mieln Federation! We’ve protected the Black Maple Kingdom for so many years and have never collected any protection fees. This is wrong!
“Tell the Black Maple Kingdom to give us 20 S-level spiritual crystals as compensation for the protection fees for the past few decades.”
Silver was almost two meters tall, and his muscles were bulging. His skin had a metallic luster, and with his bald head, he had the aura of a bandit.
A cruel smile appeared on his face as he continued, “If the Black Maple Kingdom is unwilling, we will take it personally!”
Denleigh didn’t expect Silver to be so unyielding and shameless. He was shocked as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
“If we do that, the Mieln Federation will lose its international reputation.”
Silver laughed out loud, his voice reverberating throughout the Black Palace.
“International reputation my ass. Have you been a civilized person for too long that you’ve forgotten how the Mieln Federation was founded? War after war, pillage after pillage, and countless massacres had created the strongest country in the world today!
“As long as our fist is big enough, our international reputation will be in our hands!”
Silver’s green eyes glowed with a predator’s light as he continued.
“In addition, tell the Black Maple Kingdom and William that the entire continent is under the Mieln Federation’s control. If you issue and receive bounties in our territory, you must pay taxes.
“The reward is 20 S-level spiritual crystals. We will collect a 50% tax from the Black Maple Kingdom when it’s released, and another 50% tax when William receives it. If William has any objections, he can come to the freedom council to find us. We’d like to see how powerful he is as the so-called number one master!”
Upon hearing Silver’s unyielding statement, Whitman’s expression turned fanatical. He looked at Silver with admiration. This was the attitude that the Mieln Federation should have.
For the sake of profit, burning, killing, and plundering were common!
The strong should do whatever they wanted!
Democracy and human rights were simply lies in public opinion.
It was a pity that some people in the Mieln Federation had been fooled by the propaganda that their own country had used to fool others.
He felt that he was a superior person just because he put on the coat of civilization, but he had forgotten the foundation of the Mieln Federation.
Worried that Denleigh didn’t understand the pros and cons of this, Whitman explained.
“Once William and the Black Maple Kingdom pay their taxes obediently, it would mean that even a powerhouse like William would have to bow his head to the Mieln Federation’s influence.
“The big capital markets will understand that the Mieln Federation is still the strongest on Saturn. The funds will naturally return to the Mieln Federation’s stock market, and the stock market you’re worried about will no longer be a problem.”
Upon hearing this, Denleigh’s eyes brightened. He patted his chest and said, “I’ll hold a press conference now!”
Denleigh was in a hurry to find the press officer, but he was stopped by Silver, who said, “This time, we are using our might to suppress them because the freedom council has more overlords than the Kingdom of Mies. However, William’s reputation in the world is too prominent. If we do nothing, William will become the strongest person in the world. At that time, many awakened powerhouses will seek refuge with the Pantheon of Gods and the Kingdom of Mies.
“It would be very disadvantageous for the Mieln Federation in the long run.
“We have to take some action to attract the attention of the world back to the Mieln Federation!”
“Sir Silver, are you going to duel with William? I promise to gather the media from all over the world to boost the momentum of your duel.
“Don’t worry, the news of you defeating William will be spread all over the world.
“The whole world will know that you’re the real world’s number one powerhouse!”
Hearing Denleigh’s foolish words, Silver’s mouth twitched. He began to reflect on himself. It was easier to control the leader if he was stupid, but if he was too stupid, he would probably die of anger.
William was the first human to become an awakener and the first to reach the overlord realm. He had the advantage of starting first and had accumulated a lot of experience in the overlord realm. Who would dare to fight him one-on-one and guarantee their victory?
In a sense, in Silver’s heart, William was worthy of the title of the strongest human.
The Mieln Federation was able to suppress William because they had a large number of Overlords, not because they could win in a one-on-one battle.
Unfortunately, Denleigh was too stupid, so Silver had no choice but to explain.
“There are too many uncertainties in a duel. It’s not a good idea. We have a better choice.”
“Oh?” a thought struck Whitman, and he asked, “You mean the world passage?”
Silver nodded in satisfaction and said, “That’s right, we didn’t announce the Mieln Federation’s discovery of a foreign world to the public.
“Just think about it, once we announce the news of the other world, what a huge shock it will cause to the world!
“At that time, talents, funds, and awakened powerhouses would try their best to join the Mieln Federation. The world’s attention would naturally shift from William to the Mieln Federation.
“As long as the world passage is in our hands, even if others know about the other world, they won’t be able to cause any waves.”
“We suppressed the Black Maple Kingdom and William and told the world that the Mieln Federation is still the world’s largest country. We announced the news of the foreign world and told the world that the Mieln Federation is still being watched over by the heavens and that the country’s luck is flourishing!
“With both, the Mieln Federation’s national power will inevitably rise step by step and become the dominant force of Saturn!”
Although Denleigh didn’t understand stratagems, he wasn’t a fool. He immediately echoed, “God bless the Mieln Federation!”
Whitman and Silver looked at each other and smiled, then said in unison.
“God bless the Mieln Federation!”
