Chapter 1099: The Papal States in Danger
After clearing the northern region of the Orc Empire.
The Wehrmacht can confirm that the chariots and tanks owned by the Orc Empire were all shipped from other countries.
Because even inside the bombed factory, the Wehrmacht did not find any clues.
And after asking the locals, it was confirmed that no tank production equipment was found in the factory mentioned by the locals.
It is impossible for the orcs to destroy all the equipment, so there will definitely be some clues left.
But after a day of searching, it was confirmed that there was no trace.
The Wehrmacht then reported the situation.
Lyon was still at the headquarters, observing the battle situation in Beiyuan City.
Suddenly, intelligence was received from the Armored Army.
What is certain is that the orcs accepted assistance from other countries.
After learning the news, Lyon directly called the ministers of the Papal States over.
"Go back and tell Holdress that he is actively provoking a war. Does he want to eat mushroom bombs again?"
Leon's words were emotionless, as if he was talking about something that had already been decided.
Because everyone had already guessed that the Orc Empire's weapons and equipment were obtained from the Papal States.
However, due to the lack of evidence, Lyon was unable to directly impose sanctions on Holdress and the Papal States.
So Lyon could only wait for the Wehrmacht to find substantial evidence and then begin to sanction the Papal States.
After searching the northern factories, it was determined that the Orks had no ability to produce the M1A1.
Lyon then launched a direct attack, ordering the ministers of the Papal States to go back and inform Holdress.
At the same time, economic sanctions were launched against the Papal States!
That’s right, for the first time ever, Lyon did not start a war, but chose to impose economic sanctions.
Because compared to starting a war, economic sanctions would be more deadly to the Papal States.
This brings us to the economic component of the Papal States.
First of all, as a defeated country, the Papal States has almost no state-owned enterprises in its territory, and all state-owned enterprises are completely controlled by Dayan.
After nearly two years of repairs, the Papal States finally breathed a sigh of relief, and local national enterprises began to revive, attempting to impact Dayan's cheap industrial products.
But this road is very difficult due to Dayan's strong industrial capabilities and excellent industrial products.
This resulted in the citizens of the Papal States hardly buying their country's industrial products.
It was only at Holdress's call that the country's citizens began to buy products from domestic enterprises.
But most people will complain about the products of national enterprises because these national enterprises' industrial products are just for making money.
And the funny thing is that most of the national enterprises are supported by Holdress behind the scenes.
This means that the money made by national enterprises basically went into the hands of Holdress.
The money was used by Holdress to strengthen the military and prepare for war.
For example, most of these industrial products produced by national enterprises are shoddy.
A locally produced wrench would cost four copper coins in the Papal States and could only be used for half a year at most.
However, the wrench produced by Dayan only costs three copper coins and can be used for more than a year conservatively estimated.
The industrial levels of the two sides are not at the same level at all, but Holdress fully utilized the star effect and boosted national consumption through himself.
At the beginning, Holdress was able to play a role and successfully act as a salesperson.
But later, the people gradually realized that they regarded the emperor as an emperor, but the emperor regarded them as leeks.
So gradually, the people began to lose faith.
But Holdress no longer cared about that; he had already made enough money.
And all the money was invested in arms research.
According to conservative estimates, the Papal States currently has 50 fully armed elite troops.
It has more than 1000 tanks, 1500 infantry fighting vehicles, and is even developing its own fighter jets!
If it is allowed to continue to develop, it is very likely that the Papal Church will follow the path of the Great Yan.
Became a world power in one fell swoop.
But Lyon could no longer allow the Papal States to continue to develop.
Economic sanctions are only the first step, used in exchange for suppressing the Papal States for a year.
As long as the National Defense Forces survive this year, they will be able to replace their weapons and equipment with new ones.
By the end of this year, nearly 80% of the Second Five-Year Plan will have been completed.
Once 80% of the Second Five-Year Plan is completed, we can start preparing for the great cause of unification.
It is not impossible to directly crush the Papal States...
After hearing that the northern region of the Orc Empire had fallen, Holdress became quite angry.
Because after the fall of the northern part of the Orc Empire, Leon will inevitably learn about the dealings between the Papal States and the Orc Empire.
By then, the Papal States would be in an unfavorable position.
Sure enough, before Holdress had time to react, direct sanctions from Lyon arrived.
The minister of the Papal States rushed over in panic and said with a look of horror.
"Your Majesty! Da Yan has launched economic sanctions against us!
Our products cannot be exported, so we can only sell them domestically!"
Hearing the minister's words, Holdress looked horrified.
Originally, the products of the Papal States could only compete with those of the Elf Empire or the Dwarf Empire. However, Dayan directly blocked their products, making it impossible for them to export their products.
This is a very heavy blow to the current Papal States.
But the Papal States had no choice because it only had 50 troops and only 1000 tanks.
These 1000 tanks were a joke in front of the Wehrmacht.
The Wehrmacht Air Force alone could destroy their armored forces using missiles directly.
What's more, there is the steel torrent of the National Defense Forces and the scorching strikes of the missile forces.
This is simply a horror copy!
But Holdress didn't want to lose. He didn't want the Papal States to be destroyed in his hands, nor did he want the Papal States to disappear in the long river of history.
If Holdress must win, he has to keep a low profile and conserve his energy.
Economic sanctions from Da Yan? Then let them do it!
Holdris decided to pretend to be dead, but the Intelligence Agency would not let Holdris pretend to be dead...
After receiving the economic sanctions order from Lyon, the Intelligence Agency also began their actions.
A large number of intelligence agents who had been transferred back to Lyongrad returned to the Papal States.
They began to search for information about the secret arsenal of the Papal States, and at the same time took action against the arsenal of the Papal States.
Attack the military-industrial enterprises of the Papal States to prevent the Papal States from expanding its military.
Corion made preparations for both scenarios. On the one hand, he ordered the Intelligence Bureau to take action, and on the other hand, he mobilized the Second Infantry Army.
Let the Second Infantry Army directly enter the city of Holif.
Originally, the Second Infantry Army was stationed in the northwest of the Elf Empire and the southwest of the Demon Empire.
It did not directly threaten the Papal States, but after Lyon issued this order, countries around the world had already come to an understanding of the relationship between the two countries...
The Papal States is about to face disaster...
