After the two parties sat down, for as long as 10 minutes, the opposite party did not say a word because they were too embarrassed, and the atmosphere became very strange.

Because she has to pretend to be a high-ranking nobleman (Talulah: what is pretending?), Tallulah can't speak at length, but can only sit there, keeping a mysterious and decent smile. There are two shield guards as bodyguards.

In fact, Alina, who is the entourage, is responsible for reading the lines. Xiaolu's voice is soft, and it sounds hard to make people feel disgusted, but...the content of the clauses she read is not same.

"This is blackmail!" the Letanian accused angrily, "It's complete blackmail!"

"Pay attention to your identity!" The silver-haired dragon girl frowned, unlike the queen who grew up in the deep palace, she actually fought on the front line, led the army, and handled government affairs on the front line. The person's unique majesty made the other party's expression stagnate.

And Victoria's Lion Queen also showed a weird expression, as if she saw her grandmother's appearance when she was young, no, it was more like her father's majesty.

"The aggressor accuses the victim's reasonable claim of blackmail, and the 'honor' of the nobles of Letania is really eye-opening!" Yes, arrogant, unreasonable, and just look like an arrogant nobleman standing in a high position.

To put it bluntly, in the era of noble wars in the past, the winning nobles humiliated the losing prisoners.

This magical arrangement can't be done directly to Letania. Originally, they prepared a lot of lines for messing around, and many of them were used to ridicule Kazdel as a mud leg, no noble blood, and failure to fulfill the contract. spirit, therefore, do not trust their peace agreement and other rhetoric used to bargain and provoke each other.

In negotiations, provoking the other party is also a feasible strategy, allowing the other party to be overwhelmed by anger and make some concessions that are impossible when calm down. Then let go after dragging on this issue to a certain extent, in exchange for compromises in other areas.

After all, it is difficult for a bull who is stunned by anger to make a clear judgment. He will only negotiate this humiliation as a bigger issue than actual interests.

At the negotiating table, not only soft-spokenness is a trap, but amiability is acting; foul language is also a trap, and rudeness is also acting. loophole.

However, it never occurred to him that Kazdel really brought in a man of noble blood, not to mention messing up his entire plan, and he even put a burden on himself.

Nobles should have the etiquette of aristocrats, and the other party is more noble than you, so you have to pay attention to the way you speak—but what the fuck is holding back Letania—you can’t swear, you can’t accuse, you can’t attack the other party’s birth.. …

So now the pressure is on Letania's side.

Chapter 43 Garlic Behavior

"We reiterate once again that Kazdel and Letania do not have any territorial disputes, and the huge losses caused by Letania's invasion should naturally be borne by Letania."

War requires a division to be famous, even if it is as tyrannical as the United States, it must at least bring out a tube of washing powder, right?Letania's reasons include that the current border area is a disputed area, and Kazdel's expansion of the border without Letania's permission caused a war.

And I don't know where to find the photos of Sarkaz's attack, which proves that Kazdel first attacked the border city of Letania, and then they were forced to fight back.

"As we all know, the Sarkaz Royal Court does not have its own fixed territory. Kazdel has never had any sovereignty claims in history. Strictly speaking, the Kazdel Territory is part of the Kingdom of Gaul, and Leta Niah inherited the Kingdom of Gaul, so she is naturally qualified to claim sovereignty over Kazdel's territory"

Letania has used the words of nonsense to the limit, but there is also a certain starting point, that is, Sarkaz does not have a historical sovereignty that can stand the test.

They are mainly nomadic people who reunite around the devil, and the current Kazdel Territory was indeed part of Gaul in name in the past, and more precisely, there is only a small area called "Kazdel Territory". part.

As for the other places being no man's land, they were developed later with the development of Sarkaz, and Letania grasped this point.

Because of Tallulah's relationship, many of the previous points of contention are useless, such as "atrocities" such as the execution of nobles and the confiscation of land, and behaviors that do not conform to Terra's traditions such as the distribution of land to those untouchables. , and a whole host of deviant behavior.

Moreover, the biggest reasons for launching the war, such as manipulating finance, causing widespread unemployment and robbing jobs in Letania, etc., cannot be mentioned-because no one of the nobles has such experience, this It's easy to say that Letania doesn't make sense.

It was possible to take it out before because they thought that the opposite side was a group of mud-legged people, that is, Kelsey had a knighthood, and what was the rest?

A former captain of Ursus, a refugee from the north who entered the upper-class society only after marrying the daughter of Shi Huaiya's family, a former evil spirit, these few are considered to have a bit of status, and then what?

Former mercenaries, Sargon wanted criminals, street sneakers from Dayan, rebels and exiles from Ursus, etc., are all born in a low-level manner. Such people dare to manipulate finance and make noble people The nobles suffered heavy losses, shouldn't they be punished?

However, now that the opposite side has found a descendant of the red dragon from nowhere, many attack points no longer exist. As a superior noble, he has the right to execute his disrespectful vassals, especially those mudblood nobles under Teresis' command. in this way.

As for the confiscation of the land, there is nothing to say. The only thing that can be said is the territorial dispute or the disputed land. What impact does it have on the other side.

"It's ridiculous. If you insist, then let the King of Gaul come and talk to me. In addition, the issue of the ransom of the captured Gaul noble officers will also be resolved together." Playing for the split, right?Playing with historical factors, right?Playing the "pleading of the local innocent nobles who were persecuted" from nowhere, right?Then let the Gauls come and talk to me, and we'll see who weeps first!

Let the descendants of the Gaul royal family come to talk to Kazdel about the ransom of the Gaul noble officers, which will make Letania's brain explode. After all, most of Gaul's territory has been annexed by Letania. According to Everyone can imagine the pissing nature of the nobles. Kazdel estimated that the royal family of Gaul would use this part of the territory to exchange captured soldiers and noble officers.

At that time, hehehe, equip them with weapons, and then exaggerate the efforts of the Gaul royal family, the old and the young, and even let Kazdel's elite hang the flag of the Gaul Restoration Army, then it will be Letania's turn Brain is huge.

Well, this kind of hooliganism cannot be explained, let alone the robber logic. The first premise of the robber logic is that you must be the strong one. At the very least, you must have the confidence and support to not be killed.

The problem now is that Letania does not have the confidence. As a de facto defeated country, they can only hold on to the occupied area on the border and force themselves to negotiate in a way between two countries that are evenly matched.

"Well, now that the war is not over, it's useless for us to talk about it. Letania has never had the slightest introspection on his actions, so let this war end, you officially It's okay to surrender."

Before she knew it, Tallulah raised her legs and crossed her hands on her knees, which made Queen Victoria have to look at her again. Where did she learn this posture?

It's not that there is a lack of etiquette, but this posture can also be done very elegantly, but it is a common gesture of male nobles to express confidence.

Since the two sides can't reach an agreement at all, it's Victoria's turn to play. Victoria's goal is to not let Letania suffer too much loss and withdraw from the battlefield with dignity to end the war. Otherwise, Ursas and Kazdel If there is a north-south attack, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

"In order to maintain the tranquility of the bilateral border and reduce the damage caused by the war, both sides can choose to take a step back and end this ... conflict in a relatively dignified way."

"They submitted a declaration of war. This is not a conflict, but a formal war. If you want to cease the war, you have to sign a formal surrender." Tallulah shook her head, rejecting Victoria's offer to smooth things over.

"This..." Victoria also had a headache about declaring war. Why did you declare war so recklessly if you couldn't fight it so well?I don't usually see you talking about the rules like this, why did you suddenly talk about the rules this time?Undeclared war is of course easier to become Victoria's handle after the war, but it is also easier to fool the past under the name of armed conflict if it is lost.

"Leitania cannot accept this agreement. Kazdel's infected people oppress the local innocent civilians, they cause harm to kind and innocent people, and if Kazdel is allowed to maintain his rule over this area, there will only be Many more died under the oppression of those infected."

"..." Tallulah looked at Alina, who also looked at her with blank eyes, who is this talking about?

"So, we can take a step back and establish a two-state zone in the border area. For this, Letania can make a little concession on the ransom issue. However, Kazdel must protect Letania's special interests and related demand, relinquish its claim to sovereignty over this area, and be responsible for allowing the infected to invade the borders of Letania."

The Laitanian’s request stunned the Victorian nobles who thought they had won the shameless way of the nobles—brother, you are the one who is being beaten violently. Although you still occupy this area, if you continue to fight, you will be kicked out. It's only a matter of time before we get out.

The purpose of Victoria's mediation is to prevent you from losing too much here, and you can't stand Ursus. Did you not think about it when you made this request?The answer is: over the brain.

Theoretically, Victoria's compromise proposal is more in line with Letania's interests, and it can end this completely failed war relatively decently. Everyone has to be punished by Tianzhu.

Moreover, neither the emerging aristocratic capital nor the traditional feudal lords who have invested heavily in Letania will agree to this request, let alone those military aristocrats who are almost borrowing money to participate in the war. Not only will they not get any spoils, but they will also have to pay a huge Ransom, immediately bankrupt.

Even Letania himself will go bankrupt because of the war bonds. Of course, there is also a place to recover, that is, to make up for this loss on Ursas, but Ursas is not easy to fight.

The point is, compared to Kazdel, who has been transformed with lush water and grass, the southern border of Ursus is also a wilderness. There are quite a few mines, but the income is obviously not as large as that of Kazdel with the same area.

In other words, for Letania, if he doesn't bite a piece of Kazdel's body, he will go bankrupt for the country, he will be finished for the individual, and it is even unacceptable for the nobles and nobles in the country , It's like a gambler who has lost all his underwear and holds a few borrowed chips in his hand. Do you think he will quit the table by himself?

As for Kazdel, the doctor and their ideal signing partner is not Leitania, but Gaul. The extinct Gaul restoration forces signed an agreement to support them in establishing a government in exile, and then leased the territories along the border to They settle down.

After that, let the Sarkaz do a little bit of business, directly invade Leitania in the name of mercenaries, occupy the opposite border city and land, and then return them to the Gauls. Under these conditions, no matter how traitorous they are Those Gaul survivors dared to sign the agreement.

Then hand over the captured Leitania soldiers to the Gauls, and the next step is to encourage the Gauls to fight with Leitania, split Leitania, and in the end, if the Gaul Kingdom can really be established, a completely defeated Gaul The regime supported by Zidell can only be attached to Kazdell.

"Then we have nothing to say, let's use guns to speak on the battlefield. I believe that you have the courage to continue fighting, before we break every single bone of yours." Tallulah stood up, He saluted slightly to the queen, and then left the table without giving any face.

And the Victorians could only make a helpless gesture, and didn't even appease Letania. The latter could only express his dissatisfaction by leaving the meeting, but it was useless.

Things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield are even less likely to be obtained on the negotiating table. Even after Tallulah appeared, some Victorian MPs even planned to change their investment targets.

Victoria's fundamental interest is to contain Ursus, not Kazdel. Kazdel is close to Dayan, and Rem Billiton is adjacent to Iberia. They cannot go west with all their strength, but Ursus is different. .

Of course, Ursas also has many neighboring countries, but Ursas's generals Dong and Ni can ensure that it is difficult for others to break into his core area and have sufficient initiative in war, while Kazdel does not have it, no matter whether it is in the north or not. Both the grassland and the southern plains can be pierced through at once, and the hills and mountains in the central part can be defended by terrain.

Provoking Kazdel to weaken Ursus is the same as provoking Letania to weaken Kazdel and Ursus, except that the former will lead to an imbalance in the balance of power in the continent, with greater risks and costs, while the latter is relatively safe.

Now it seems that the use value of Letania is not much, why continue to invest in a gambler who has lost all his underwear?As a result, after the negotiations broke down, the Kazdale delegation did not return immediately, and many Victorian nobles entertained and visited them one after another, testing their tone and bottom line.

Kazdel, prisoner camp, "The labor team whose name I read came here to report." The manager took out a long list, and the prisoners put down their tools and looked at him.Since being captured, except for those noble officers who have suffered a lot, most of the Letanian soldiers have hardly suffered any torture.

Of course, these Sarkaz are rude and savage, and they always beat with sticks and various corporal punishments, but at least they did not execute captives at random, nor did they torture them for no reason, basically as long as they abide by their rules, be honest If you do real work, at most you will be ridiculed or punched twice.

Moreover, food and other basic guarantees are also available, which makes most of the Laitanian soldiers feel at ease. If these Sarkaz really don't beat or scold them, they will still be in panic for a while. God knows if they are going to massacre them .

"All the Gaul prisoners are here, and the noble officers are on the other side."

"Well, I understand." The officer nodded, "Give them back their weapons, and then notify the Gauls to come and lead them!" After contacting the Gaul Restoration Force through Kelsey's network, the doctor was ready to give Letania is alive and well.

Facing this big gift package, after struggling for a few days, the Gaul Restoration Forces finally quietly sent someone to contact them. While Victoria mediated, an agreement was reached here.

Kazdel released all the captured Leitania soldiers and officers, and the Gaul Restoration forces publicized in the country that it was their efforts that allowed the enemy to release these people, thus gaining the support of the Gaul people, and some Leitania Asian support.

Among them, the Gaul soldiers will return their equipment and become part of the Restoration Army, while the ordinary Leitania soldiers will be released directly, and the Gaul Restoration Army will use the fertile forest land in the south of the former Leitania land as a mortgage , borrowed a sum of money from Kazdel for travel expenses.

After buying people's hearts in this way, not only the original Gauls will support them, but even the Letanian people will support them. After all, the inaction of the Letanian nobles is completely different from the efforts of the Gaul nobles. concept.

As for the land that was sold, those lands were not in the hands of the Gaul Restoration forces. To put it bluntly, they were all enemy-occupied areas. Without Kazdel’s support, they would not be able to get them. Go out in exchange for foreign aid.

And then again, it was originally the land of the Letanians, so it doesn't matter if it is sold, doesn't it?In addition to personnel and equipment, they also signed a package of harsh treaties that almost turned them into a vassal state, but for the old and young who finally saw the dawn of restoration, they dared to sign even the harshest treaties .

On the one hand, it is a fluke mentality, in case after the restoration of the country, I can work hard to wrestle with Kazdel to see if I can cancel part of it; Also an emperor, isn't he?Being a son to the outside world, you can also be a grandfather behind closed doors.

And if you don't agree, then you won't even have the chance to be a grandfather behind closed doors, and the eating and oppression of the nobles in Letania are no better than these agreements made by Kazdel, and even... really want to Speaking of which, Kazdel's treaty was even better.

The content of the treaty includes 2.7 articles, mainly as follows: sell the Black Forest area to Kazdel for a total price of [-] million. Compared with ceding the land, the sale is considered to give these Gauls a little face;

The 2.7 million land sales money was used to redeem all captured officers and soldiers. As for how the Gauls asked their families for ransom, it is hard to say.In other words, Kazdel got the land for nothing.

Secondly, Gaul borrowed another 3 million loans from Kazdel, using future tariffs and duty-free exports as collateral to purchase equipment and arms.

Then Gaul paid the war indemnity this time in exchange for Kazdel's recognition of the Gaul Kingdom. Of course, the doctor didn't count the indemnity for them, just for fun.

Commercially, all Kazdel companies are exempted from transaction taxes and customs duties in Gaul, and they can open factories and buy land in Gaul at will, and the Kingdom of Gaul cannot stop them.

All the workers and laborers hired by the other party, except for a few serious crimes recognized by both parties, the rest of the crimes need to obtain the consent of Kazdel’s ambassador to Gaul before they can be tried in Gaul, otherwise Kazdel should handle it, Gao Lu couldn't have an objection.

Any product containing Kazdel's technology, without the permission of Kazdel, Gaul will not be able to be sold to any party, etc.

In exchange, Kazdel promised to recognize the title and noble status of the Gauls, and agreed that some of his noble privileges would still be valid when Kazdel was involved, but compared to what he got, this concession is completely acceptable.

And for the Gaul nobles, there is nothing to worry about. After all, the Gaul Kingdom has long since perished. Without the help of Kazdel, such a country does not exist at all. It is a little psychological for them to sell what they have not yet obtained No pressure at all.

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity!" The Gaul nobles shook hands with the doctor, and then left with a smile on their faces.

"W, pay attention, inside the Gallic Restoration Army"

"what?"

"If you find that there are still ideals, the leader of honor and patriotism will be marked."

"Then kill him?" The leader of the enemy is the enemy of one's own people, so what are you waiting for if you don't deal with it?

"No, pay attention to him, and then find a way to quietly put pressure on Letania and the Gauls. If there is a fierce conflict between them, find a way to save his life in the end."

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's just the last insurance." The doctor shrugged, "In case some people renege on their debts, by the way, don't let them know that we did it, understand?" Isn't it just a shit stick, as if no one can do it.

Once the country is rejuvenated, after the rejuvenation is successful, the division and self-government will be hammered backhand, and a barrier and advance base will be directly erected in the north, and then the assets and senior talents of the other party will be squeezed like a sponge by provoking chaos. Why not come out and use it to build your own chassis? 【Standard American Behavior】

Chapter 44 Don't Speak Ursasi

Casimir's northern line of defense, during the negotiations in Victoria, Ursas fought against Letania, Colombia, and Casimir repeatedly. Sri Lanka's new warships play a huge role in this regard.

They deliberately gave up the part of the Kosche collar in the east, and chose to attack hard in the west and center. Whether it was Casimir or Colombia, it was very difficult.
