Chapter 185 Long Live Li Wei

"This is the city of Toulouse. France is worthy of being a big country in Europe. The prosperity of any big city is comparable to that of Barcelona."

When Aragon arrived at the city hall of Toulouse, he immediately began to talk about "flattering" without money.

On the enemy's territory, Aragorn behaved very sincerely.

After all, he was born in a commoner family, and he didn't have any arrogance buried in the bones of nobles, and he didn't need that kind of arrogance.

It's a pity that the accompanying officer of the Black Dragon Legion kept a rigid zombie face and didn't respond to Aragorn's words at all.

But along the way, Aragorn was also used to the dead faces of these Black Dragon Legion officers and soldiers, and he was too numb to complain.

Of course, Aragorn didn't despise these officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion, and even felt that only such soldiers who are honest and dedicated to doing things are the most effective in fighting!

Once soldiers get involved in politics, their thoughts will become complicated, and they will no longer be pure when considering gains and losses on the battlefield.

In this way, how much combat power can the soldiers exert?
In other words, how much combat power are they willing to exert?

Because of this, throughout the ages, high-level officials in various countries have always emphasized the idea that soldiers should not participate in politics. It's just that after generals in the army reach a certain position, they will inevitably be involved in political whirlpools for their own future considerations.

As a result, everyone does not want soldiers to participate in politics, but when accidents happen, soldiers are often the key force to reverse the political situation. In the end, soldiers finally participate in politics!
Led by his attendants, Aragorn came to Li Wei's exclusive office alone.

Aragon speaks French!
After Aragorn saw Li Wei, he just wanted to say hello politely, and there was a soft hum in his mind, and dense words of "loyalty to Li Wei" began to pop up from the bottom of his heart...

In Li Wei's field of vision, Aragon, who was enlightened by the administration, first stared blankly in place with blank eyes, and then his eyes became sharp and firm. He imitated the military salute of the officers and soldiers of the Black Dragon Army, and raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle. With a pious face, he called out:
"Master Li Wei! Long live!"

Li Wei nodded slightly and replied: "Very good, you should ascend the throne and become the king of Catalonia as soon as possible after you go back. You don't need to let the Holy See send someone over to be crowned, just find someone from the Catalonia area." The local bishop or priest can be crowned.

After you have secured your position, you can send all the important cabinet ministers in the Kingdom of Catalonia to meet me in the name of diplomatic communication or in the name of learning and communication, no matter what reason you use!
If sending them all at once would arouse suspicion, just send them to me one by one.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that my Black Dragon Legion is still fighting for the Catalans, I think those ministers in the cabinet will not refuse your order. "

"Yes, Lord Levi!
It is the honor of my life to serve you! "

"Oh, by the way, I remember you said that you want to rebuild the Aragonese dynasty?

This is not difficult. After you ascend the throne in the Kingdom of Catalonia and secure your position as the king, I will ask Karl to cooperate with you, and all the land that has been conquered will be handed over to the Kingdom of Catalonia. Maybe you are better than the Aragon in history. The dynasty got even more land.

But I can't let the Black Dragon Legion continue to fight. The Madrid government is willing to surrender and accept my terms. I will withdraw my troops. At that time, the survival of the Kingdom of Catalonia will depend on your strength.

Before Paris is occupied by me, I should not have any extra energy to take care of you. "

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to protect Catalonia for you.

Prepare for the adults to fully occupy Spain in the future! "

"Oh, you are quite discerning. Now you can see that I will definitely occupy Spain in the future?"

"My lord is joking, your black dragon army is so powerful, and the Spanish army is so weak. When your lord wins the French Civil War, in the midst of geopolitics and this hatred, no matter how you look at it, the Kingdom of Spain will be a piece of fat in your bowl." Meat.

At that time, the Kingdom of Spain has only two roads.

To be fully occupied by the adults, or to establish a long-term alliance with the adults and become the vassals of the adults. "

"Hehe, you see it quite clearly, but this is just one of my future strategic plans, and it may not be implemented.

At that time, it will depend on the changes in the international situation. What's more, I don't even have much confidence in capturing Paris now, and I still think too far away.

But since you have this opinion, if you did not pledge allegiance to me, how did you plan to keep the Kingdom of Catalonia? "

Aragorn was slightly taken aback after hearing this, he didn't expect Li Wei to ask such a question, he couldn't help but feel guilty for his outrageous thoughts before.

How could I have such a plan to blaspheme Lord Li Wei before?
Fortunately, Master Li Wei was tolerant and didn't care about himself.

Aragorn thought about it, and told the whole story without any concealment.

"Lord Li Wei, my plan is actually based on the future international situation. It is nothing more than uniting the Kingdom of Spain or the British Empire to form a new anti-French alliance."

"It turns out that you never thought of making the Kingdom of Catalonia my vassal."

"I'm very sorry. I was really too stupid before. Now I..."

"There is no need to say more. I just want to know, are you really not afraid of the Black Dragon Legion?"

"That's not true. I didn't want to be the vassal of the adults before. In fact, it was more because the Catalans didn't want to be the vassal.

Rather than being controlled by the French, the Catalans would rather continue to be the subjects of the Spanish royal family, unless the adults are willing to give the Catalans full autonomy.

This status was given by the Spanish royal family, but I am afraid that the adults will not hand it over. "

"Haha, I didn't expect my temper to be studied to such an extent by outsiders.

Do the governments of all countries know now that I am a dictator who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes? "

Aragorn's face suddenly became awkward, and he didn't know whether to answer honestly or deny it...

After seeing Aragorn's face, Li Wei knew that the other party instinctively didn't want to lie to him after being enlightened by the administration. He smiled and said, "To be honest, I won't blame you."

"Master Li Wei is extremely wise, and people outside do view him this way.

After all, your lord's rule over the occupied area of ​​the Kingdom of New France is vividly visible to everyone, so you naturally understand what kind of ruler your lord is. "

"You're right. It's really hard to hide political things, but dictators don't care. Which European monarch in this world doesn't want to be a dictator?
I just want to be one of them. "
