Heart of Empire Chapter 507: Unconditional Surrender

Today's Bauhinia City, to the Schindlers, it is no different from a beautiful woman who has taken off all her clothes in front of a strong man. E『』ΩNovel WwW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

In this city, the only military force left is less than 10,000 people. And at this moment, in front of them, there are 6,000 elites of Elder nearby, and a little farther away, the Patience Group Army, which has just wiped out the main force of the coalition forces, is also preparing to come over.

The city of Bauhinia cannot resist such a military force.

On the third day after the main force of the coalition was declared destroyed, that is, on October 18th, the diplomatic envoy of the Principality of Florence, who was in the silver capital and was negotiating fiercely with Schindler's diplomatic ambassador, received There was a bad news: the gate of the city of Bauhinia was opened, and the Grand Duke of Florence declared an unconditional surrender on behalf of the entire principality.

The Florentines surrendered, and in a humiliating manner, withdrew from the war.

But think about it in reverse, what can the Florentines do if they don't surrender? The United Fleet that had hoped for it had already been destroyed; the port of Tarrence was tightly blocked, and their ships could not get out;

Even if they grit their teeth and persist in this war, the final result is nothing more than delaying the failure a little bit, and in the end, the city of Bauhinia and Port of Tarrence will become A ruin.

For the nobles of Florence, this is something more unacceptable than surrender.

On the day the Florentines surrendered, Patience led her troops to the beautiful city of Bauhinia, and disarmed the last military force of the Duchy of Florence.

All Florentine soldiers were disarmed and ordered to stay in the barracks obediently, and were not allowed to leave the barracks without further orders.

At the same time, all the nobles and those in power in the Principality of Florence are not restricted in their freedom on the surface, but in fact, almost all of them are under the surveillance of Schindler's spies.

This kind of surveillance is very blatant, and the Schindlers have no intention of hiding it at all. It is obvious to tell those nobles: Be honest with me, your every move is under our monitoring.

On the same day, Dane led the navy soldiers and brought seven giant dragons, also boarded from the undefended Port of Tarrence, and arrived at the city of Bauhinia the next day.

As King Schindler, as victor, he had a meeting with the Archduke of Florence.

The Grand Duke of Florence himself is not young anymore. Now at the age of seventy-two, wearing a gorgeous purple costume, he waited for Dane in his castle with the most solemn attitude.

But beside him, in his castle, there is no one of his soldiers to be seen. The guards in the hall were all Schindler soldiers wearing white wolf heads embroidered on them.

His Royal Highness, never thought that he would encounter such a thing when he was more than seventy years old.

He has been Duke of Florence for thirty years. He still remembers his ambition when he took over the Bauhinia scepter from his father thirty years ago. In the past 30 years, he can also be said to have worked hard to govern. The Duchy of Florence has not had any particularly big developments or breakthroughs in the past 30 years, but basically no What a great disaster.

Steady development, economic strength is steadily improving step by step, and people's living standards are also slowly rising.

In general, the current Grand Duke of Florence can be regarded as a qualified national monarch. At least, in terms of folk reputation, he can be called excellent.

After thirty years of recuperation, the national strength has risen. After he passed away, he would give the position of monarch to his son, and then see if the country could have any better development opportunities.

However, all this was finally interrupted by the arrival of the Schindlers.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty Dane, you have won."

A smile appeared on Dane's face when he heard such a sentence from the mouth of a country's yuan.

The old man in front of him, who has been famous for many years, is far from being looked up to by Dane. But now, the monarch of a country can only use costumes to maintain the last bit of decency.

"Congratulations to you too, Your Royal Highness, your wise choice prevented a torment." Dane said.

He had no intention or intention to mock the old man, but, from the perspective of a loser, no matter what he heard from the enemy, it was difficult to take it as comfort.

The Grand Duke of Florence smiled bitterly, sat down slowly, and then said: "I never thought that Florence would become a defeated country under my rule. I never thought , the city of Bauhinia will fall into the hands of other countries in my lifetime."

Dyne shrugged and said, "Who can tell about war?"

The duke sighed again, and asked, "Your Majesty, we can talk about other things slowly. I just want to ask you one thing."

"Let's talk."

"I want to know..." The Grand Duke's face became solemn, "Will the Duchy of Florence still exist in the future?"

A big smile appeared on Dane's face, and he said: "Of course it will exist. Florence belongs to the Florentines, not the Schindlers. I didn't include it for a long time. The meaning of own rule ~IndoMTL.com~ But..."

He continued: "However, if Florence wants to exist, it should exist in the way Schindler hopes. I need a duke to help me maintain the rule of Florence, and I also I believe that the future Florence should be an ally who shares weal and woe with Schindler, are you right?"

The Grand Duke of Florence was silent for a while, of course he understood what Dane meant.

It is very difficult for the Schindlers to directly rule Florence. This country has existed for a long time, and it does not mean that everything will be fine after completing the military occupation. The relationship here is very complicated. If Dane really wants to bring Florence into his own rule, he must be prepared to face successive uprisings, rebellions and nationalism.

It may take decades to completely assimilate and stabilize the Principality of Florence.

It is unstable internally, and at the same time, it has to face the pressure of the Holy Alliance externally. This is a thankless task.

In comparison, maintaining the existence of Florence and turning Florence into Schindler's 'ally', or a vassal, is the most beneficial choice for Schindler.
