Chapitre 2201: Final Straw

Months passed.

The tensions between the three powerhouses continued to rise as the intelligence war was succeeded by a trade war. The three Sage-level powerhouses sought cripple Kandria's economic reach within East Panama with sanctions, tariffs, and tax hikes. Together, they had the power to box the Kandrian Empire.

This was why one of the main three agendas that Emperor Rael had espoused when he addressed the Kandrian government three years ago was economic independence. Thus, the sanctions by his enemies didn't hurt the most vital parts of the nation. However, the Kandrian Empire's ability to trade with other nations outside of its own domain of influence was heavily hampered.

Unfortunately for the three Sage-level powerhouses, he had foreseen this three years ago. Every military war was preceded by economic, information, intelligence, and public relations wars.
