Chapter 157: The Blackwater Fjord War Armistice
Although the two sides had reached a consensus on the content of the agreement long before the talks, in order to hide the eyes and ears of the people, the negotiations were carried out for three days under the performance of the special envoys of the two sides. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I have to say that anyone who can be used as a white glove by the big nobles has his own set, either with outstanding acting skills, or with excellent mouths, anyway, the envoys of both sides are really "passing" every word of the treaty word by word, spitting and murderous, and even almost duel on the spot several times.
According to incomplete statistics, in the course of the negotiations, the two sides smashed a total of 12 long tables, 48 chairs, and 68 windows, knocked down three walls, smashed 108 water glasses, smashed 768 pages of paper, and broke 123 pens.
To sum up, the entire negotiation process fully demonstrated the friendship, mutual trust, unity and cooperation between the League of Saint-Rheinland and the French Empire, fully demonstrated the close relationship between the two countries as two of the three major empires of mankind, and demonstrated the deep friendship between the negotiators of the two countries.
As for the little Viscount Samuel and the Marquis of Famas, who were supposed to be the protagonists, they just stared at each other with affection throughout the whole process, fully demonstrating the feelings of the two sides from the Blackwater Fjord, whose blood is thicker than water, compared with the tears between the commissioners of the two sides, this kind of affection is obviously more subtle and more worthy of promotion and promotion.
On 27 November, an armistice was signed at Panmen in the town of Panmen, with Viscount Randolph Seck Rowell, representative of the Saint-Rheinland League, and Viscount Britney Crane-Sennet, representative of the French Empire.

"I'm curious, why do you insist that the waste sign this armistice as well?" Angelina put down the agreement in her hand and looked at Chamberlain with some confusion.
The medical dog smiled evilly: "You must know that reputation is sometimes more important than anything else, we are now promoting democracy and fighting to protect the interests of the minor nobles, so we must elevate the status of the parties concerned, so that after returning to the alliance, we can declare to the remnants of the small nobles in the parliament that we have not given up our hearts." ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Chamberlain continued: "Of course, the most important thing is that after we go back, we can also use the fact that the French side did not let the Marquis of Famars sign it, which proves that we are democratic, compassionate, and kind, and directly proves the cruelty, autocracy, and ruthlessness of the French, so that the slightest dissatisfaction of the small nobles in the country because of the Bauhinia family will be blocked to death." ”
"But how do I remember that the reason why the Marquis of Famas's was not allowed to sign was because he did not want to end the war, and wanted to use the French army to restore his absolute rule in the Blackwater Fjord, so he was disqualified from signing after being lectured by Philip......" Kosh, who was sitting on the side, frowned.
Chamberlain turned around, spread his hands, held his mouth, and showed a helpless expression, before he said: "My respected imperial uncle, the mouthpiece of the alliance is all in our hands, what we say, those little nobles have to listen to something, do you think they have a channel to know the truth of the matter?"
Kosh was dumbfounded for a moment, and then listened to Chamberlain continue: "What's more, as a qualified Saint-Rhine League noble, the most important thing they should do is not to love the League, worship the Heroic Spirit, and scold France? ”
Kosh was dumbfounded, and Angelina stammered, obviously defeated by Chamberlain's theory, but if you think about it, Chamberlain's rhetoric ...... It's the truth!
Calming down, Kosh asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Chamberlain stretched out his hand and took out a small notebook, and while sketching on it, he said: "Of course we are ready to make money, you see, those little nobles in the Blackwater Fjord have borrowed a lot of money from us, although some of the little nobles have been wiped out, but their territory is still there, we can recover part of the loan through the auction of the territory; and even titles of nobility to pay off debts......"
Kosh was stunned when he heard this, Angelina was also a little confused, and after half an hour, Chamberlain put down the notebook in his hand: "Of course, these will not be our personal actions, the Pan-Continental Human Aristocratic Rights and Interests Protection Association is not only to protect interests, after all, rights and obligations are equal......
