Number One Player of Time and Space Chapter 926: Wealths do not pretend to be beep, like a night walk in Jinyi
"No one likes war." Luo Jie gently rubbed the golden beast head on the armrest of the throne, resting his cheek in one hand and said: "But some things that are not available on the negotiating table are ultimately obtained by swords. ."
Mahara Koji frowned. The young monarch probably didn't understand what kind of country he was facing. He obviously didn't intend to accept Japan's mediation in words, and he insisted on expanding the war.
War will bring about public security chaos and a sharp decline in population, which runs counter to the Cabinet’s plan to turn a foreign continent into a place where products are dumped and where raw materials are produced.
"When does the king plan to proceed with this unjust war?" Mahara Hiroji asked in a deep voice.
"Injustice? You mean aggression, right?"
Luo Jie smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, a ghost pipe fox grabbed a sheepskin scroll from the scroll shelf, turned around and flew back to his hand.
Of course, in the eyes of others who can't see the ghost fox, this is just a small magic used by magicians.
Luo Jie threw the sheepskin scroll on the ground. The scroll rolled and unfolded on the soft carpet, and an ancient map full of historical vicissitudes was presented in front of Koji Mahara.
"My lord, is this...?"
"This is a map of this continent hundreds of years ago. At that time, the empire was just a small human country located in the center of the continent, and other places have been homes for Demi-Humans who have survived for thousands of years. ."
Luo Jie sits upright, with his hands folded under his jaw, his tone is calm, as if he is not arguing, but merely stating a fact.
"The greedy empire invaded the land that originally belonged to Demi-Human, drove the good Demi-Human out of the homeland where they lived for generations, and regarded Demi-Human as the inferior people for exploitation and enslavement... and what I did was only It’s just that the leader Demi-Human regained the homeland that originally belonged to them."
Mahara Hiroji took a deep breath and calmly said: "My lord, an ancient map that has long been untraceable can't explain much, and even if this map is true, it was hundreds of years ago. ...If everyone keeps pursuing this way, then I am afraid that only one of them can completely destroy the country to stop the dispute."
Luo Jie waved his hand, and Yun Danfeng said softly: "In history, the empire has risen like this, and I am just repeating what the empire did hundreds of years ago...Of course, as far as I am concerned, , And I don’t want to see the lives of the people on this continent smashed. Since your country is willing to be the middleman, then I can also sell your country for a bit of face."
Mahara Koji was overjoyed: "So, the king is willing to truce with the empire?"
"War is only a means, not an end." Luo Jie ordered the maid to take a pen, drew a line on a current map of the continent, and then threw it to Hiroji Mabara, "As long as the empire keeps this The land north of this boundary is ceded to our country. Not only can I immediately cease the war, but I can also sign a non-aggression treaty with the empire for at least 100 years."
When Koji Mabara saw the map with the black ink line clearly, he couldn't help but sink his heart. The area north of this boundary line almost occupied half of the total territory of the empire, including several attached human feudal vassals. country.
Not to mention that the empire still has the power to fight, even if it is already sunset, it is impossible to agree to such harsh conditions for the truce...No, this can no longer be said to be harsh, but has risen to the level of insult.
Of course, no matter what conditions the other party puts forward, he is just a diplomat of the mediating country and cannot make decisions on behalf of the parties.
"I will convey your remarks to His Majesty the Emperor... But, please also take the overall situation first and reconsider your truce conditions."
Luo Jie smiled non-committal and motioned to the maid to bring a chair for Mahara Hiroji.
This obvious gesture of goodwill caused Koji Mawara to immediately awaken his spirit, and he realized that this time the banquet was about to come.
"Mr. Mahara, this war is ultimately a dispute between our country and the empire. Personally, I still hope to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship with the world on the other side of the door."
Hiroji Mabara came here to open the trade route. Seeing Luo Jie took the initiative to hand over the olive branch, he immediately took out the catalogue of the prepared goods from the briefcase and handed it to the maid on the side to present it to Luo Jie.
Luo Jie took a quick glance at the catalog and browsed through ten lines. Most of them were very low-level industrial products. Although the technology content is not high, it is very suitable for the current stage of the world's productivity.
The price is also fair and reasonable. After all, this catalog must be jointly supervised by those big-name countries, in case the foot pot chicken uses the information of the two worlds to make high profits and eat alone. This time The key point is that if it destroys the image of the earth country in another world, it will be a diplomatic accident that cannot be undone by the cabinet collectively.
"I'm very satisfied with the products your country provides." Luo Jie put down the product catalog and crossed his legs: "It's just that I have a question if our country purchases your country's products, how will your country make such a large quantity? Are the goods coming here?"
The Arnus Hill is located in the empire, no matter which direction you go, you will inevitably pass through the empire’s territory. If the empire insists on blocking the road to the north, even if Japan wants to do business in the country of Demi-Human, it will never dare Use force to forcibly open trade routes.
Hiroji Mabara smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "That's why our country hopes that your country can truce with the empire... and only in this way can our country continue to discuss with the empire about opening the northern trade route through the road."
Luo Jie pinched his chin and lost his thoughts.
War does not mean that everything will be fine if the enemy is defeated. How to occupy the land that has been defeated for a long time and steadily is the most important thing.
In this regard, our country of Demi-Human has a natural disadvantage.
The reason why we were able to quickly occupy the north of the empire was entirely because the races here were dominated by Demi-Human~IndoMTL.com~The proportion of humans was even less than one-fifth.
And the more inland the empire, the higher the proportion of humans, and it will be difficult to fully occupy it.
After all, the Demi-Human species have been discriminated against and enslaved for hundreds of years. The humans of the empire have long regarded the Demi-Human species as inferior people, even uncivilized beasts, and it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the Demi-Human tribe in turn becoming the ruling class.
Therefore, Luo Jie has always declared to the public that he wants to establish a country composed purely of Demi-Human, rather than a country where humans and Demi-Human coexist on an equal footing.
A peace talk is impossible.
The country of Demi-Human is fighting a just counterattack this time, occupying the moral commanding heights. Once it accepts the peace talks, and then wants to continue to dig the corner of the empire to expand its territory, I am afraid that it will face the knocking team personally.
Because of various considerations, Luo Jie suddenly felt that it was necessary to go to the empire to pretend to be... Oh no, it was the emperor who went to the empire to have a talk.
"Mr. Mahara, when do you plan to return to the imperial capital?"
Hiroji Mabara was stunned, thinking that Luo Jie was giving a eviction order, he sighed secretly in his heart, but calmly replied on the surface: "This is only a friendly visit, not a formal meeting, since what should be said has been conveyed to the king. After that, I plan to take a helicopter back to the consulate of the imperial capital in the afternoon."
Luo Jie nodded noncommitantly, and took out a rusty broken sword from the mouth of the dog squatting next to the throne, held it in her hands by the maid, and handed it to Hiroji Mahara.
"This is a sword I found in the Yanlong Lair. It has the emblem of the imperial imperial family on it. It may be a saber lost by one of the imperial emperor’s ancestors. It is a gift I gave to that imperial emperor. Let’s ask Mr. Mabara to transfer it on your behalf... Besides, I have to trouble Mr. Mabara for a word, saying that I will visit the imperial capital in three days."
