Power and Empire Chapter 623: Subjugation or extinction?
"I'm sorry to keep the two of you waiting for a long time. I just met some emergency military affairs late!"
Fatty Long Xiang walked in from the door, under two thick eyebrows like swords, his dazzling eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he revealed the king’s unique domineering decisiveness, and there was an indescribable expression. There is a kind of majesty in every gesture, and there is a majesty that people do not dare to look at.
"His Royal Highness, I think we can start!" The fat man glanced over, and casually waved to the nervous flushed guy in front of him, indicating that he could also sit down,
"In front of the Vicia Falcon, how can there be a seat for my prince!"
Prince Harris smiled bitterly. Although he is recognized as the most handsome and talented among all the princes of Salander, when I saw him today, I knew what a real chaotic maniac should be!
Just the sound of footsteps has made him lose his arrogance and dignity in inexplicable emotion. The noble title of His Royal Highness, at this moment, makes people feel so untimely,
One is the mainland hegemon in the southwest of Quanqing, and the other is a powerless puppet prince. Although it is only a very casual sentence to start, it has clearly indicated who is the leader of this negotiation.
"The Grand Duke, this is the negotiation document signed by the great Sultan of Salander. I hope the Grand Duke can take a look!" The third prince Harris took the diplomatic papers from the Foreign Minister Duke Ktusen behind him. , Hands respectfully to the fat man,
The fat man unceremoniously took it and opened it, watching carefully with solemn eyes. His eyes are sharp, but his face is a little haggard. It is a very hard work to fight the march for days.
From the deployment of the Battle of Mollenburg to the advancement to Salettek, four or five battles were fought in a row in the past half month, which not only reversed the unfavorable situation of passive beatings in the entire north at the beginning, but also continued. Breaking through the defensive circle outside Sarand Kyoto, hitting the tens of thousands of troops in Sarand Kyoto can’t be beaten,
These are all real field battles, where the wind, food, sleep, rain and wind blow, so that the fat man who has not marched for a long time is overwhelmed. One reason for the fat man to stop the advancement of his army temporarily is whether it is the main combat army. The navy, which is still responsible for harassing from the east and west coasts, is all in a morbid exhaustion.
Although the current Salander Kyoto no longer has much rebound ability, it cannot be ruled out that the opponent's soldiers will take dangerous moves. In the south of Kyoto, there are still 67,000 Normandy troops squatting. Rand Kyoto joined forces with the Normans at all costs,
The Vicia army, which has been fighting continuously for a month, is like a bowstring that has collapsed to the top, and will directly face the Normans who have been watching coldly by the side.
Together with the war, the originally clear situation will fall into the quagmire of chaotic war. This is what the fat man does not want to see. What the fat man needs is a stable central and northern part of Salander to serve as a support for the cross-sea attack on the rear of the Kingdom of Ruud. Point,
"Your Majesty the Third Prince, please forgive me, I cannot accept such a condition!" After a while, the fat man put down the documents in his hand, his face was full of anger, and his tone was cold as a knife.
"How can you say that!" The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Ktusen, said with a trembling lips, "We are already willing to cede the 7 counties in the north, and agree to start business with you Wikiah, that is, you want to establish a business alliance. The Ministry, it is not impossible to negotiate, such conditions should be enough to make up for the losses of the Vicia merchants in this war!"
"Hehe, you can really talk nonsense with your eyes open." The fat man smiled disdainfully. Our army has occupied one-third of the area in the middle of yours and is marching to a deeper area. I believe it will not take a month. , The central part will only be left with the three central counties controlled by the northwest of Sarand Kyoto, and all other areas will fall under our control.
You are now asking our army to stop advancing and return the occupied land unconditionally. Anyone with a long brain can make a wise rejection!
The compensation you so-called is already in the territory of the Northern Alliance. They are our best friends in Wikiya. I don't need to explain this! "
The fat man stretched out his hands helplessly, frowned slightly, and said solemnly, "We Vikiyas are not a warlike country. We have never been interested in friends' things! We just want to get that. We deserve it. Of course, when necessary, we don’t mind taking it directly from the creditor!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed solemn, and the forehead of Harris, the third prince of the Sarandians, was sweaty. In fact, he had expected such an answer. He looked at the Duke of Foreign Affairs Minister Christusson next to him. This foreign minister, who is known for his bad temper, is blushing with shame at the moment, and his protruding eyes are full of shame
The third prince Harris knew the abilities of this extremely embarrassed Minister of Foreign Affairs, a typical wine bag and rice bag. The reason why he was made the Kingdom’s Minister of Foreign Affairs was not because of his wit, but because of the previous foreign ministers. When negotiating with the Normans, the attitude was too tough and caused dissatisfaction with the Normans,
Only the Duke of Ktuussen can satisfy the Normans. This time His Majesty the Sultan sent him here. It is not without reason to repeat the trick.
"Duke Ktusen, you go down first!" The third prince Harris waved his hand to stop the foreign minister who wanted to argue, and let the foreign minister retreat first. If he continues to speak, it will anger Vijaya hunting. Eagle, this time, the chances won will fly away, and the negotiating team will be in the most embarrassed situation.
When there are two people left in the room,
The third prince Harris asked bluntly, “I don’t know what kind of conditions the Grand Duke needs to stop the war? The Grand Duke’s willingness to meet us in his busy schedule shows that this negotiation is not without a chance, otherwise, with the Grand Duke The Duke will not waste time here, it is more practical to go back to prepare for the siege!"
"His Royal Highness, don't worry, since it's a negotiation, you have to get a bit of a bargaining chip!"
The fat man said coldly, looking very free and easy. In front of Harris, Fatty didn't have the demeanor of a generation of heroes at all. He was like an old friend who had been with Harris for decades, and he occasionally came by today to greet him. He curled up his feet in the chair casually, and then tightened his windbreaker.
"The bargaining chip?" Harris looked at the fat man in a puzzled way. He still couldn't judge the meaning of the fat man's words. What kind of medicine was sold in the Viking Falcon's gourd? What valuable bargaining chip Salander Kyoto still holds?
The fat man looked at him indifferently, and said coldly, "I don't understand? Then I will make it clear. I will meet with you not for negotiation, but to show you a way to survive.
I can let Sarander go to Kyoto, but you still can't avoid the fate of destruction. I believe that the person who wants you to break the most now is not my Vekia, but the north and south nobles who have been oppressed by you. , Even if I promise you not to attack Kyoto, their coalition will be able to capture you"
"North-South coalition forces..."
The third prince Harris's mouth hesitated and his face became extremely ugly,
Wikea Falcon is right. The nearly 30,000 Northern Army blocked at the gate of Kyoto this time, except for a very small number of real northerners, most of whom are southern refugees who ran over from Kyoto. They were bullied and insulted when they were in Kyoto, and they were driven out like refugees by Kyoto when they needed help the most.
Especially the final Southern Order, which forced tens of thousands of southern aristocrats into the queue for fleeing in the north. These people’s feelings for Kyoto can be expressed in bad faith and anger. If Kyoto falls into these resentful people In the hands, I’m afraid it’s hard to avoid a **** storm of blood for blood
The title of the North-South coalition forces can be regarded as the sad situation in which the people of Kyoto betrayed their relatives, and it is vividly expressed
"My suggestion is very simple!" The fat man glanced across Harris's somewhat cold face, his voice paused, and his tone was emphasized. "First, Sarand Kyoto became a vassal kingdom of Vicia, and the total army was reduced to Below 20,000, the Sultan of Salander must abdicate early because of the infamous Southern Decree. Third, the Salander Kyoto is divided into four Salander dominions, which are placed under the management of your four brothers.
Sarand Kingdom is not over! "
The third prince Harris took a deep breath. If Fatty’s method is followed, the Kingdom of Sarand will cease to exist, at least in name, and the reserved land and military power will be greatly reduced, and it will completely become Wichia. Vassal kingdom
"If this is not the case~IndoMTL.com~I don’t worry, those who are full of resentment will not be reconciled! "Fatty responded." Only in this way can the suppressed anger in their hearts be calmed, and hundreds of thousands of Kyoto people can get a pass. The road to new hope,
Be aware that these relatives of the Northern Army have all experienced cold treatment in Kyoto! No one can guarantee that these crazy guys will not do things like burning Kyoto or slaughtering the city"
"Yes, but we haven't reached the Jedi yet!" The third prince Harris tried to argue with a pale face, "We still have 60,000 troops, and four counties in the Western Sea, and we still have... ..."
"Enough, you should wake up!"
Fatty's face was serious, and he waved to interrupt him. "You have lost 90% of your territory in just two years. More than 90% of the officials are not thinking about how to guard the territory, but about The final retreat! Isn’t such a kingdom over yet? If it continues, it will only become a serious disaster!
The fat man stared at him with bright eyes, and asked, "There is hope for such a kingdom, I am afraid you don't believe it! Is it annihilation of the country in name or the fact that it is time for you to make a decision!" /
