Chapter 299 Disgraceful Negotiation

Faced with Charlie's request, Zhang Hao was stunned, and asked, "Didn't you do a good job yourself?" Carcassonne's army of more than 30 people had only 15 troops left in two days. Hours of candid videotaping ruined more than [-] worth of communication crystals. Now that we have started, what else do we need to help?Zhang Hao's first thought was that Charlie planned to blame the empire for this incident.

"The kind that don't kill people. Bretonnia has no way to solve them without killing them. If I didn't bring these people to Colony, I wouldn't kill them either! After all, the situation in Bretonnia is really serious now" Although Charlie said that he was forced to do so, his disguise was so fake that Zhang Hao couldn't bear to expose him.

"It's difficult." The Fairy Cult of the Lake has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years, and it will not happen overnight to remove their influence.

"That's why I'm looking for your Excellency! And I only need this time, as long as my throne is stable, I can come later by myself."

"Deal!" The empire doesn't need a rear with endless civil wars, no matter how many people are lost because of the elimination of the Lake God Sect, as long as he is monolithic, then everything is worth it.

"Wait! I have one more condition!" Charlie immediately wanted to put forward a second condition after seeing Zhang Hao's unification.

"One condition is for one, there is no second!" Zhang Hao knows that Charlie doesn't have much experience in politics, and everything starts from scratch, but this does not mean that the empire needs to teach him like a child. The empire has no such obligation .

"I need the dwarf's treasure money!!" Although Zhang Hao refused, Charlie still expressed his needs.

"What do you want in exchange?" How much money does Bretonnia have now?I don’t know, but the empire gained a lot from it. Those people who went to the empty city Karl immediately issued a mission to steal resources like the eyes of the empire. Under the slogan of rescue, countless spies brought enough space items to secretly The government funds were searched in the city, but the property of the civilians was never violated. The empire dispatched 15 troops to rescue Bretonnia. As long as these troops move, they will get money. Of course, Karl hopes to take back some of them. Zhang Hao also agrees with this. There are too many places where the empire spends money, and the tax revenue has already been the highest in history. Sending troops to rescue is not in vain.

"I'll give you all the fighting power of Bretonnia in the future war!" Charlie wished to find that there was really nothing to change.

"The army I cultivated with this money is definitely more powerful than all your troops." The dwarves love money, and they live in the southern barren mountains with many gold mines, and Bafeng Mountain was once the holy peak of the dwarves. How much wealth Zhang Hao did not dare to estimate.

"Then what do you want?" Charlie was a little helpless. If he wanted to stabilize his position just by killing people, he probably wouldn't be able to keep the throne for even a year. He could rebuild cities, rebuild armaments, and build farmland. If he didn't have money, just rely on faith?Ten days and a half month is enough. Even if there is no rebellion, the population will transfer to surrounding countries. Without the population, Bayitonia is really powerless to recover.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao said slowly, "Two conditions!"

"Isn't it one-on-one?" Charlie's mood fluctuated instantly. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and there is no so-called fairness at all when asking for help. This is the reality.

"That was when you were against me, now it's me against you!" Zhang Hao answered Charlie's question with a blank face, and he had no friendship at all in front of national interests.

Charlie looked at Zhang Hao, opened his mouth several times, and finally sighed, "Say it!"

"30 imperial troops are stationed in Bretonnia. They are supported by you. If conditions permit, they can help you rebuild your home, but you still have to pay for it yourself." The empire expects 60 troops in the future, and 30 will be stationed in Ti. Lear, [-] are stationed in Bretonnia. The amount of gold coins that can be saved every month, let alone every year, is an astronomical figure.

"30! That's too much!! The number of soldiers that can be recruited in Bretonnia is not much more than your number!!!" If Charlie couldn't beat Zhang Hao, he would really have to draw his sword at this moment Yes, this is nothing short of insulting!The insult to Bretonnia, not to mention how much it costs, just 30 troops stationed in Bretonnia, it symbolizes that Bretonnia has lost its sovereignty, and they can even influence the replacement of the king with just one order. What is the difference between being a slave state.

"Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the necessary number of troops, how much labor force does Bretonnia have now? There is no one, who can you find to rebuild your home with those treasures? Or just rely on your remaining population ?Then how long do you plan to restore Bretonnia to its former glory? 40 years or 50 years? Or 100 years?? Now that you can produce so many people, you can guarantee that they will not have any unreasonable desires for your throne. Only the empire." Zhang Seeing that Charlie was lost in thought, Hao immediately put forward another condition. "Before the end of the war with Chaos, Bretonnia's military transfer of more than [-] people needs the approval of the Empire!"

"Hahahaha, is this still my country? Do you want to annex Bretonnia? Even the real slave country of vampires does not have this condition? Ah? Do you want to treat me as a puppet?!!!" Charlie finally broke out. Feeling aggrieved, but he is obviously still working hard to restrain himself, because he knows that he is vulnerable in front of Zhang Hao. This humiliation is more serious than that brought to him by the Lake God and Fairy Sect. Now he regrets it, very much regrets it.

"Then increase the upper limit to [-]. This is to ensure that you have enough combat power to join the war before the start of the war. Of course, you can not accept this reason, but eliminating the lake gods and fairies, we don't have a reasonable one in Bretonnia." In terms of status, this matter is very difficult to achieve, I can assure you that this army is only engaged in construction and eliminating the influence of the Lake God Sect, and firmly supports your throne, and will not implement anyone else's request except you. " Zhang Hao saw that the emotional Charlie still didn't show any expression, but instead threatened him with the Lake God Cult.

"One year!!"

"Five years."

"Two years!"

"Three years! If it is less than this time, King Charles, please go back."

"Do I have any other choice?!"

"Based on Bretonnia's agricultural mechanism, 30 people are nothing."

"Tomorrow, I hope that you can personally participate in the siege."

"Of course." Zhang Hao finally smiled at this time, and Charlie turned his head and walked out of the big tent after speaking. Charlie didn't want to stay any longer even for a second.Regardless of the fact that he has already mastered an army of 10,000+ people, it is because he has made a condition that everyone cannot refuse. As for Abric, if he hadn't been picked up by Orion for treatment, Charlie wouldn't have dared to massacre 10,000+ Lake God believers in two days.

"Your Highness, isn't this too cruel?" After Charlie left, Robert finally couldn't help but asked Zhang Hao in a low voice.

"Let your majesty talk, and Bretonnia will really disappear. Accepting a country with its own inheritance will only make the empire change from active to passive. We only need to get the most benefits from it. Your Excellency Marshal, attack the city tomorrow." You only need to send long-range troops, and you don’t need one more person, and you will withdraw to the empire immediately after the fight.”

"Understood, Your Highness, please allow me to retire first." Marshal Robert is an expert in warfare, but he is definitely not an excellent politician. Zhang Hao doesn't care about Bretonnia's future, but it must be under the control of the empire before Chaos invades.
