A Huang Family Could Appear in Siracusa Too / Siracusa's Decision-Maker-What Other Lord Is This?

"Yes, that's the kind of 'I deserve a beating' feeling!"

Chapter 201: A Master Huang family could also appear in Siracusa.

In short, with the participation of the three idea kings, the future Theresia suffered a severe blow.

All you need to do is use that face to draw fire to the Shapeshifter.

For the Sarkaz: I don't care if you're Kal'tsit or not, it's because you have that face.

A mixture of truth and falsehood is often the most fatal, because Theresia cannot deny the fact that Kal'tsit has become her advisor.

In short, Your Highness did it first!

Meanwhile, some time later, in another distant country, turmoil officially began in Leithanian.

After the new Witch King, the failure of foreign wars led to the intensification of domestic conflicts, resulting in the gradual loss of control over certain areas.

For example, the Siracusa region, which was already very turbulent, is now beginning to experience changes that are difficult to control.

Because Siracusa was not the main part of Leithanian, it suffered more oppression from nobles than other places.

The families of more than twenty districts united, causing the Siracusa region to fall out of control almost overnight.

The Electors of Leithanian hastily dispatched troops to suppress the rebellion, but for some reason, the usually weak family suddenly became assertive.

They all possess very advanced armed forces, capable of temporarily rivaling the regular army of Leithanian.

So the question is, what exactly caused this?

Gaul: I am ready to become a father in a certain region once again!

Just as people often joked about the real founding father of the Master Huang Eagle Kingdom, it wasn't the one who chopped down the cherry tree, but the one who was put on the guillotine.

Although they are from different countries, they are doing the same thing!

However, some mysterious forces were at work, disrupting Leithanian's proud Golden Law Movement, which is why the city fell so quickly.

Faced with this golden opportunity, Huang Cao decided to take action; watching Kazimierz make mistakes every day was simply too boring.

He detested this process of primitive accumulation of capital the most; it was bloody, but the contradictions were not particularly prominent at the moment, since everyone could take a bite out of it during the expansion.

Social conflicts are indeed becoming increasingly acute, but because the pie is big enough, they have not yet erupted.

But the current situation in Siracusa is so acute that social contradictions have reached a point where resistance is inevitable.

"It's not impossible for a Huang family to emerge within the borders of Siracusa!"

Annexation is unlikely unless all the other families are slaughtered. There is no way that Leithanian, Gaul, or even Ursus would allow Master Huang to continue expanding.

Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate another powerful nation that could disrupt the plan before attempting annexation.

Having learned from thousands of years of domestic and international history, Huang Cao naturally understood the difficulties of fighting on multiple fronts, and besides, this small place was not his main target in the future.

After all, the surrounding major powers were all minor players. In the original storyline, during the Gaul Leithanian, the other countries were just latecomers who reaped the benefits.

Who knows, while Master Huang is having a great time fighting on the front lines, a few world police officers suddenly appear to uphold justice.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's very troublesome.

As I said before, Master Huang came into this world to be a nobleman, not a beast of burden.

Maintain your bottom line and make yourself as comfortable and happy as possible.

Huang Cao immediately gave the order to prepare for a remote micro-management operation:

"Issue my order to dispatch five hundred Abundance Warrior of abundance, along with another five hundred elite soldiers who have received professional training, to travel by motor vehicle to Siracusa in three days to prepare for deployment."

"Fill every available space on your person with money. Use money to pave the way where possible and avoid fighting. Conceal your identities and await my further orders."

"Your mission is arduous, so you must be careful and cautious. The first thing is to purchase as much land as possible, regardless of its quality. Acquire land at the lowest possible price, and choose border areas as the location as possible."

"The land you buy must be contiguous, not scattered in pieces; ideally, it should be in a regular shape."

"After acquiring the land, we must quickly allocate 20,000 places to take in civilians who have become homeless due to the war, provide them with a safe living environment, and let them begin to build our family estate. This must be done efficiently and with high quality."

"At the latest, we must get things done before these families realize what's happening. The process must be discreet, causing as little trouble as possible, and ideally, it should be done without anyone noticing."

"After these things are done, I will provide the corresponding resources to support the future affairs of the family. Once the resources are in place, we will no longer need to hide."

"Once we're completely settled, if we find any family that's blind to our own faults and tries to provoke us, we won't hold back; we'll retaliate tenfold."

The meaning of "no need to hide" is that if anyone dares to come, just kill them, because in the vibrant land of Siracusa, cowardice and compromise will not solve any problems.

Huang Cao wants to become the true ruler of the Siracusa region and eventually annex it completely.

To achieve this goal without expending too much energy, we must use our iron fist to show these wolf cubs what real power is.

The previous compromises were merely to facilitate his own actions; once Master Huang's main force arrived, the military strength of the other families was no match for his.

Beast Lord? Just a pet of Lappland.

Zaro's impact on the situation in Márai was not significant; it was simply unable to resist the invasion of industrial civilization.

"The people in charge of these families probably have deep connections with all the countries of Terra. Among so many families, there are only a few who have powerful backers."

Gaul, Iberia, Victoria, Leithanian, and we could even add Ursus.

However, apart from Gaul and Leithanian, these countries were mostly scattered and disorganized groups.

Leithanian's support persisted even after Siracusa's independence, albeit in a more covert manner, but Gaul was utterly destroyed after its defeat.

In the future, Siracusa will still be subject to the control of various great powers. Even under the rule of Madame Sicily, the various families will secretly refuse to submit to each other.

It's just that on the surface, a basic set of rules is still followed, and in addition, countries around the world don't have much faith in this place and are too lazy to spend a lot of resources to support it.

This makes the Madame Sicily appear to have a stronger position in the country, but even so, Siracusa will still be in turmoil in the future.

It was less of a nation and more of a makeshift organization of various city-states.

Especially given the gradual weakening of the influence of various countries in the future, as long as Huang Cao establishes his own family power in the Siracusa region.

By then, the other families would have no ability to resist at all, because the family that Master Huang established in this country was supported by an entire the Great Emperor.

The other families' backers have either fallen from grace or are too lazy to care, and even if they wanted to, it would probably be too late by then.

"Now, it's time to bring about a change in Siracusa."

Huang Cao picked up a red pen and drew a big X in the Siracusa region, thus determining the fate of everyone in the area thereafter.

202

Chapter 202 The Lord of Siracusa: Where does this lord come from?

About two weeks later.

The head of the Siracusa family keenly sensed something was amiss; recently, the income in the region he managed seemed to have increased significantly.

The amount of money circulating in the accounts has increased by nearly three or four layers compared to the past.

Earning more money is certainly a good thing, but it also depends on what era we live in.

With war raging everywhere in Siracusa, there's hardly any opportunity to trade and make money; just breaking even is considered a success.

They can't even collect taxes from their subordinates, yet they're making money? Are you kidding me?

War is inherently a war of attrition, and neither side can gain any benefit before the war ends.

Even if you conquer a piece of land, you can't develop it instantly, and resource extraction also takes time.

Moreover, Siracusa is currently fighting a war of independence, a war fought solely for power and freedom.

So even now, the heads of various families in Siracusa are taking out loans to fight.

Gaul wasn't stupid; they couldn't let a small country become their future bloodsucking ground.

So nominally it is indeed a loan to fight the war, but if we really become independent, we'll have to pay it back.

Small countries have absolutely no bargaining power with large countries.

However, for the Siracusa nobles at the top, hunger was not an issue; the debts were repaid only by the slaves below them.

However, if someone knew the script, according to the normal course of events, Siracusa would probably never be able to pay back this debt, because Gaul was gone later on.

In this situation, only a fool would make a losing deal. Gaul is willing to support Siracusa mainly to weaken Leithanian's ability to protect itself, thus creating an opportunity for their own High-speed Battleship to attack.

If Gaul feel that the cost of weakening them outweighs the cost of attacking them, it's estimated that before long, the family leaders present will all have their heads chopped off by the Witch King of Leithanian.

Sensing something amiss, the Siracusa nobles quickly convened a general meeting.

Sure enough, after discussing it among themselves, the Siracusa nobles discovered that something was amiss.

How can anyone make money when everyone is losing money?

There were six family leaders present. To make it easier to distinguish them, they were arranged from smallest to largest according to their importance in the Siracusa region, with the family leader having more power as their number was smaller.

After their subordinates compiled a list, they discovered that all the money transactions pointed to one place: the border region of Siracusa.

Furthermore, the growth of funds relies entirely on land purchases. If all these purchased lands were connected together, the area they occupy would be equivalent to one-tenth of the entire Siracusa region.

The head of Family Number One: "The earliest purchase of these lands was no more than three days ago, so what are you all doing? Are you so desperate for money that you've gone crazy?"

The head of Family Number 3 said, "It's as if only we made money. Your family also sold land, and even more than us."

Indeed, Siracusa was in a state of extreme chaos due to the war, and given that it was already in such a state of chaos, it gave Master Huang the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

If you can control yourself, how can you control your subordinates?

The chaos intensified, leaving everyone confused about their own position, creating a level of disorder comparable to Kazdel during wartime.

No, it should be said that it surpassed Kazdel to become the only chaotic country on this land.

No matter what, Kazdel has a Demon King above it. Even if it were to sell national territory, it would be the top three people who would sell it at a high price. No family would sell it secretly in the dark.

"Do you know which country purchased the land?"

"We've investigated everything. The perpetrator is more secretive than we imagined. They're practically elusive, and the only thing we can see is that they have horns on their head that look like tree branches."

"Could it be Sarkaz?"

"Come on, even if they are Sargon, they can't be Sarkaz. These poor bastards don't have that much money."

Theresia: Are you being polite?

While everyone present racked their brains, they also tried to shift the blame, but ultimately they couldn't find any race that matched the characteristic of having a branch on their head.

"What should we do next? Siracusa is a small country. If we were to rank them by land, the land occupied by this group would be third among our families."

What else can we do?

The head of Family Number One muttered to himself.

With such substantial financial resources to acquire land, this group must be backed by a major power.

First of all, it couldn't be Gaul, because Gaul didn't openly participate in the chaos in Siracusa; they only provided support in secret.

Therefore, it can only be concealed internationally, but in reality, all countries are well aware that these are tacit agreements.

There are some things that, in order to avoid international repercussions, certainly cannot be known to the majority of people.

"Could it be Victoria? No, it must be Victoria. These Feline members always love a good show!"

With someone's definitive statement, everything now falls under the guise of Victoria the troublemaker, and everything makes sense.

In any world, Victoria's grave shortcomings would be enough to incite resentment among people of all nations.

"Starting today, all land transactions are prohibited. We should cause as much trouble as possible for Victoria, but remember, we must not antagonize them."

"Number 6, don't you have a lot of refugees with missing limbs over there? Let's drive all these people into the territory of these troublemakers. Aren't the Victorians always causing trouble? We're going to create trouble for them now."

"But most of these refugees are veterans who have retreated from the battlefield. If we send them there like this, it might discourage the soldiers on the battlefield..."

The head of Family Number 6 hesitated. In fact, he didn't want to take in these refugees because he was spending his own money every day.

But these people were all veterans who had been discharged from the battlefield. Because of the fighting, they had lost limbs and were unable to work, which is why they became refugees.

If it were lost so easily, and the news reached the troops on the battlefield, morale might collapse.

"That's why we're causing trouble for Victoria. We don't know what this troublemaker wants to do to Siracusa, so we can't completely offend him. This is the only way we can do it."

Creating trouble rather than directly ordering expulsion carries entirely different meanings.

Siracusa's current international standing, it is entirely impossible for it to break ties with any major power.
