1892 War of the Princesses (2)

Duke Bofu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, felt that he now had the urge to hit the wall, it was really a turn of feng shui, and he ruthlessly refused the request of the foreign affairs personnel of the Falcon Empire a few days ago, and in just two or three days, he had to lick his face to knock on the other party's door, so don't blame the other party for giving himself such a tough closed door,

"My lord, let's force the door open!" One of the accompanying foreign affairs officers looked around, thinking that they were all his own people, and whispered a flattering face, "Stupid!" Bo Fu glared helplessly at the subordinate who thought he was smart, and said indignantly, "Can't you see it?" The other party is doing this, just to force us to bang on the door and go in, so that we will not only settle the truth first, but if it spreads, in order to negotiate with the Falcon Empire, we are not in a hurry to the point where we need to break down the door, and the face of the empire will be completely lost!" "Then what should I do?" The foreign affairs officer looked aggrieved, "I have looked carefully, all the doors and windows have been nailed with wooden bars from the inside!" "Bastards, these bastards of the Falcon Empire!" Duke Bofu cursed angrily, and at this time, a Praetorian Guard officer in charge of the security of the mansion came over. Looking at the embarrassment on everyone's faces, he said cautiously, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you just want to go in, you don't necessarily need to enter through the door!" "Well, do you have a good way?" Bo Fu's expression was shocked, now as long as he didn't break the door to enter, even if he let him burrow into the ground, he was even thinking just now, if he really couldn't find a way, he would send someone to enter through the chimney of the room at night

"My lord, the windows in the fourth room on the second floor are broken, and I saw that they only nailed the doors and windows of the first floor!" The officer quietly stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the second floor of the floor where the doors and windows were closed, and said, "At that time, I was curious to ask them why they did this, and they said that it has been chaotic recently, and they are afraid that thieves will sneak in in the middle of the night!"

"Second floor!well, find a ladder at once!" said Duke Bofort, with a look of delight on his face. Hurriedly ordered, and soon, someone found a ladder from a nearby gardener, and several soldiers erected a ladder below and put it on the masonry on the second floor

Duke Bofu waved his hand to the subordinate beside him who was scolded by him, "An Ruili, you go up first, and make our intentions clear to them on behalf of the empire! We are here to negotiate, not to go to war! As long as their invasion stops immediately, everything is negotiable!"

"I ...... I'll go!"

The foreign officer pointed to himself, and the whole person stayed there, his face turning pale. Said with a crying voice

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, once you climb up, it won't take half a day, and the fact that the dignified foreign officer needs to climb the ladder to enter the negotiation will become a laughing stock for everyone! And such a negotiation condition that is similar to anything can be negotiated is destined to be drowned by the entire empire immediately as soon as it spreads!!"

The Duke of Bofort roared angrily, his eyes were on fire, and he said loudly, "Sacrifice your own glory for the sake of your country." This is a criterion that a country's foreign affairs officer must know, and the interests of the country are above all else! They enjoy the wealth of the country and are respected by all, but they are not willing to bear even the slightest sacrifice. A foreign officer like you is a moth to the country, and you can choose to drown in the future with spit, or I will order your head to be cut off now!"

"Okay, I'll go!" said the foreign officer's face was ugly, as if his wife had just died. Slowly climbed up the long ladder with his hands and feet, and at this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside! A middle-aged man was wearing a black dress. It seemed that he was about to go out, but his eyes were stunned to see a group of Gangnon people gathered outside his door, and not far away, there was a long ladder on the wall.

The middle-aged man's lips trembled, "What else do you want to do?" Everything has been sold, and the money has been sent back, we have nothing worth stealing here, I didn't expect that the robbers have reached the point of fighting in the open fire during the day, or when there are guards at the door, the security is really bad!"

"Robber!" Duke Bofort was stunned, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that his face was hot,

It's one thing to climb up to negotiate, it's another thing to be caught in front of you and climb the building, many years of experience in foreign affairs made his face extremely thick-skinned, coughed a few times, and said, "Please don't get me wrong, we are not robbers, I am Duke Bofort, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gangfei, I want to see Sidney, the liaison officer of the Falcon Empire in the Congo Empire,

"You're Lord Bofort?

The middle-aged man looked shocked, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he looked at Duke Bofu for a while, and all the gangfei people who were excited were like fires burning on their faces, and it seemed that they had finally confirmed the identity of the other party, and the middle-aged man said with a little apology, I'm sorry, I'm Sidney, the Falcon Empire's liaison officer in the Gangfei Empire!

"You're Sidney!Great!" When Bofort heard that the person in front of him was the liaison officer of the Falcon Empire, he immediately changed his face, straightened his collar, and said in a voice like a male duck, "Your Excellency Sidney, I now formally protest on behalf of my country, demanding that the Falcon Empire immediately stop its rude and barbaric invasion of our country!" "Rude and barbaric invasion?"

Sidney pretended to be silent for a while, his face was ugly, and he said slowly, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant, in fact, I haven't been out for six days, and the report we submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not been replied to for more than 11 days, and now there are still many people on the streets outside shouting slogans to bring down the Falcon Empire, and now you are telling me that you are asking us to immediately stop the military operation to invade your country, how do you want us to understand this matter......?" Duke Bofu's face changed red and white for a while, and every word of the other party was whipped on his face like a whip, and it hurt hotly

Sidney still didn't mean to stop, and shrugged his shoulders: "I thought your country had forgotten about us! As for the war, I have just received a letter from our princess Turit asking your country to be 1. 12 Events to give a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, our country will declare war! If your country really wants an explanation, then this is our country's explanation!"

"Will war be declared?, is Sidney joking with us?Your country has already fought as far as Baruta, three hundred miles away, and invaded our territory a hundred miles, and 1. 12 The incident is our own business, why should we explain it to the Falcon Empire!" said one of the accompanying Gang Fei officers with angry indignation

"It is a pity that this is what our country is asking for! Is it so difficult for a simple explanation to be able to annihilate the conditions of a war?

"I thought your country was as excited about our generosity as I was, who knew it would be like this......," Sidney's gaze swept over Gang Feiren. Rolling his eyes, it means that you can not explain, in fact, we are not interested in your explanation, all we need is an excuse for war!" "No, don't get me wrong, in fact, we are ready to give your country a reasonable explanation!"

"Yes, that's great, Her Royal Highness the Princess of our country, will represent my majesty in two days. Attending the funeral of Prince Dunade of your country, this is the highest level of our country's specifications, I hope that your country's explanation can satisfy Her Royal Highness the princess when the time comes, otherwise don't say anything about stopping the invasion, you and I know very well, why our imperial army would go to war without declaring it!" "You ......" The officer was speechless in anger

Sidney's eyebrows furrowed, and his voice paused. The tone suddenly became stern and chilling, "Don't say that I didn't remind you, this Royal Highness the princess is the most favored one of my majesty, and the war with Gangfei was actually caused by this princess." If Your Highness is damaged in the slightest bit in Gangfei, I can guarantee that the 200,000 Iron Horsemen of my Falcon Empire on the northern border of Gangfei will join the Istan and go south, then. Even if there are millions of blood, it may not be able to calm my family's anger!"

"What, the princess of your country is coming to attend the funeral of Prince Dunad!"

This time. Even the stunned mouth of the Falcon Empire's Emperor Bofu was going to attend the funeral on behalf of the Emperor, and there were 60,000 troops ready to go, this was to attend the funeral? Or was it naked force of force! Trouble, big trouble! The Foreign Minister suddenly felt a chill rising from his tail vertebrae to the top of his head.

With many years of experience in foreign affairs, he clearly felt the huge crisis that could destroy the country.

It doesn't matter whether this imperial princess is the most favored one of the Falcon Emperors, the important thing is that this is the princess of the Falcon Empire, if there is really any accident, it is equivalent to giving the Falcon Empire an excuse for a full-scale war, at that time, it will not only be tens of thousands of troops in the south, the thunderous and furious Falcon Emperor will definitely join forces with the Istans to crush the Gangfei Empire into slag, as for the Central European Barro countries, before the pressure formed by the two most powerful empires in the central and northern European Barro region, it is estimated that they don't even have the courage to gnaw,

The news was reported and immediately sent to the hands of Emperor Gangfei, and an urgent imperial meeting was held again on the same day.

At the meeting, Marshal Marcos, who is not the Minister of Military Affairs, demanded that all parties must make every effort to ensure the safety of the Falcon Empire princess.

The ministers at the meeting also stated that they would never put the country in danger because of personal enmity

Even the seven-year-old little emperor let out cruel words: "If any party makes a move that endangers the entire empire because of personal grudges, then I will not hesitate to take everyone's heads, along with the heads of their families, to appease the Falcon King's anger."

From the emperor to the minister, for the arrival of the country's biggest enemy, the princess of the Falcon Empire, he had to make a foolproof guarantee, and even set up a special defense corps for this purpose, mobilizing the emperor's Praetorian Guard with a total of 3,000 people, under the guidance of Sidney, the liaison officer of the Falcon Empire, to meet the imperial princess who made the entire empire as if it were a great enemy

The spring sun began to warm, and on the sentry posts all over the city, countless archers stood on the roofs on both sides of the street and looked down, and even the streets were under martial law during the day, and the previous procession shouting to bring down the Falcon Empire disappeared in an instant, and suddenly, the sentry heard the sound of wheels crushing the road,

The sentry looked nervously downward, but soon, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and the sound of hooves was crisp, and he saw a group of cavalry holding high the blue iron anchor sign of the Strandsea Country, entering the city through the main gate of Besuka City in a line, and guarding the middle of the cavalry was a gorgeous and dazzling carriage,

The whole carriage shimmered and dazzled in the sunlight, almost unable to open its eyes, this is a whole carriage inlaid with countless gems of various colors, large and small, if it is walking in the downtown area, it must be a sensational deposit, but now. Except for the very displeased gaze of the bow and arrow sentry on the roof, almost no one paid attention to it, because there was no one in the street except the army, and the army's gaze only stopped on the blue iron anchor flag, showing that Xiàn was not interested in the slightest

Although Gangfei has declined, it is also an empire, and it really doesn't show much respect for a regional sea country like Strand.

Inside the carriage, a gorgeous-looking woman looked out of the carriage with a stunned expression. There was a flash of warmth in his eyes, and on the empty streets, only the wind swept up the things on the ground,

I went to inquire just now, and it seems that a distinguished person will be there today, so the whole city is under martial law, and in order to ensure absolute security, even our heads are covered with archers!" said a maid who had been sent to the opposite side of the woman, cautiously reciprocating.

"Zhiyani, you immediately find a way to find out the identity of that person, I want to know, is it the people who attended the funeral this time. Is there anyone more noble than me?" A dark annoyance flashed on the face of the beautiful woman, and the ten long fingers of Qianqian were clenched together,

This participation in the funeral of Prince Dunard of the Congo Empire was a strategic move by the Sea of Strand States. The dispatch of this luxurious carriage, which cost nothing, was also the woman's mention yì in order to cause a heavy sensation during the funeral. And then show the strong financial and material resources of the Strait Sea Country, which has attracted enough attention for the land strategic transformation of the Sea Country, who knows that it is now such an empty alley and no one in a situation, and the most critical first step is to step on the empty place, if you don't make this naturally intelligent and intelligent woman, who wants to take the lead has a feeling of vomiting blood

Soon, the maid returned, and her face looked even more ugly

"Do you figure out who it is?" The woman's cold face made the temperature in the carriage several degrees lower, and a black dress was like a huge flower spreading all over the carriage,

"I inquired clearly, I heard that a princess of the Falcon Empire will attend this funeral on behalf of the Falcon Emperor!" the maid said with a pale face and a slight tremor in her body,

"Falcon Empire?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she was so nervous and embarrassed, and it was actually for a princess of the Falcon Empire! Then she felt a trace of anger, is she not as dignified as the first lady of the Sea of Strand Sea, is not as good as a princess? Who doesn't know that the emperor of the Falcon Empire is romantic, and it is said that there are as many as ten princesses alone.

The Falcon Empire is a business ally of the Sea Empire of Strand, but this relationship has been terminated a month ago, and it is the young lady of the Navy who proposed in the Council of the Sea Kingdom that "The Falcon Empire's ambition to occupy the inland sea has been exposed, so instead of being an ally of the Lord, it will soon become the biggest enemy of the Sea State in the hegemony of the Inland Sea! The Sea Country should do its best to curb the Falcon Empire's entry into the Inland Sea by all means!"

This statement was eventually supported by the majority of the parliamentarians of the Maritime Nation, and the strategy of the Maritime Nation began to change.

In fact, although the sea country has earned a lot of money in the trade with the Falcon Empire, the Falcon Empire's sea caravan entered the inland sea under the banner of the sea country, and also cut a lot of the trade of the sea country, and the trade conflict between the two countries is becoming obvious, and the attitude towards the Falcon Empire within the sea country is also changing sharply, from a trading partner to a trade competitor.

"Interesting!" seemed to think of something,

The corners of the woman's mouth giggled coldly,

The heart of the Falcon Empire's entry into the Inland Sea is obvious, and now the countries that are not interested in the Falcon Empire are not only the Strandant Sea Country.

Three-quarters of the countries that attended the funeral were coastal countries, and if the princess of the Falcon Empire was attacked by the representatives of all the countries participating in the funeral when she attended the funeral, it would be a very wonderful picture! Who told this woman to dare to steal the limelight from herself, then it would be good to make her a laugh at the countries!"That's really a poor woman! This is the price of being my enemy of Tulit!" The corners of the woman's mouth twitched slightly, patted the roof of the car with her hand, and ordered the motorist. Go to the mansion that we bought in Strand ourselves, and I'm going to have a banquet tonight, and I want everyone to know how much wealth I, the Strand Sea Nation, have brought to them!"

In another all-black carriage thirty miles away from Besuka, Turit Colin gently closed a ledger with her fingers,

Raising her head to look at a middle-aged lady with a graceful demeanor on the opposite side, she asked with a solemn face, "I really didn't expect that if these account books are recorded correctly, that is, in the past ten years, the inland sea trade has been greatly concentrated, and seventy percent of them are Alien Sea States, and the combined share of several other countries is less than thirty percent."

"It is true that although they are all inland sea countries, there are many pirates in the inland seas, and many of them are counterfeit by the national navy! Except for the fleets of the Strait of Alien States, which can penetrate deep into the inland seas and even reach the open seas, most of the fleets of other countries will be attacked when they leave the coastal areas."

The middle-aged lady replied respectfully, Especially after the Alien Sea Kingdom signed a commercial alliance with the Empire, with the help of the Falcon Empire's trade routes throughout the central and northern Obarro, the share of the Alien Sea Kingdom in the coastal market has increased to seventy-five percent, and the sea trade of the inland sea countries has shrunk again, but the Salient Sea Country caravan is very cleverly disguised, and they always use the Falcon Empire's commercial channels to ship, so the coastal countries all think that if the fleet of the Falcon Empire is allowed to enter the inland sea, it will be a disaster for inland sea commerce!"

"Hehe, planting blame, this is very much like the second sister's handiwork!"

Turit Colin smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth, opened the curtain of the car and glanced out, on both sides of the carriage were three thousand cavalry of the Falcon Empire's Central Army, with a strict appearance and black armor like clouds, and in front and behind were the 1,500 Gangfei Imperial Janissaries of each person, and the light of the setting sun in the distance shone on the metal armor of the soldiers on both sides, like red flowing clouds (to be continued......
