After listening to Yonia's reasoning, Bruce was a little moved: "Then the rebels of the Southern Will Federation—"

"Bruce, as far as I know, there is no movement on the rebel side at all, and I suspect that those rumors were created by someone to deliberately distract us internally."

"Well, that's a big possibility, and it looks like it's time for us to think about it. Once the Cordillera Navy imposes a blockade on us, the economies of our two provinces will inevitably collapse, but we will really not survive. ”

Bruce seemed to finally accept the other man's opinion, "However, I suggest we should talk to Elabani in detail again, this old guy is not a simple commodity. ”

"Of course."

Joshua nodded slightly: "But we still have to discuss how to do it, the purpose of my coming today is to tell you that we can only survive if we stand on one front, otherwise we will only have a dead end." ”

Sent off Joshua, who had left in a hurry. Rochester, Bruce. The hesitation and apprehension on Fernando's face vanished for a moment, replaced by a deep look of thought, as if he had not even noticed that his chief administrative officer had come to his side.

"My lord, it seems that North Carolina can't hold on."

"Hmph, it's strange that he can hold on. However, it seems that Erabeni's side is also eager to woo North Carolina, otherwise he would not be so eager to come to the door. What the hell did the Marquis de la Cordillera think, her movements were so intense and obvious. It's clear that she's forcing Joshua to join forces with Erabeni, is she really that sure she can deal with Erabeni? ”

The depth in Bruce's gaze was like a bottomless well.

"My lord, what should we do? The conditions given over there are not too high-"

"Hmph, I'll only consider it if it's not too high, if it's really satisfying us, then I'll really consider the sincerity over there."

Bruce interrupted his political officer, "She's young, but she's more calculating than all the scheming guys, and she's going to use our Fernando family to keep the rebels at bay for her, but she's going to grab the most fertile part of North Carro." ”

"Then why do you agree?" The administrative officer was puzzled.

"Why not? I know how much energy I have, how big my belly is, and how much I eat. Appetite is too good to support people. Actually, all I need is the port of Madanton, and the rest is an addition, not even an addition. We'll have to help her defend the fortress of Brihel, and she'll have to pay for our military expenses."

Bruce looked up at the church spire in the distance. "Forgive me. Joshua. I was also forced to think about the survival of Atlanta. ”

"The Church of Nature seems to be reorganizing itself at the moment, and I don't know when this turmoil will end. Without them as a balance, the North would never be at peace. "The administrative officer was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm in control." Bruce's voice was barely audible.

……

"Leonardo!"

Hathaway was a little surprised, how could this old friend arrive just when he was about to make a move, this is incredible, could it be that Dietrich was aware of it? Then I really have to weigh Leonardo. Beirut is here for its purpose.

"Why, Hathaway, you don't seem to welcome me?"

After moving the qi and nourishing the body, and becoming Dietrich's important minister, Leonardo. Beirut hardly needs to run around on his own, so his body is slightly blessed, his plump cheeks are very smooth, and on his slender and soft fingers, he wears a ring inlaid with a cat's eye, rich and graceful, but also elegant and exquisite.

Hathaway smiled faintly: "What are you talking about, although the phrase is a bit vulgar, it can very well show the mentality of our Cordillera people." ”

She is no longer the fledgling she used to be, and she is comfortable with this kind of false accusation.

"Hathaway, you don't seem to be used to being Cassef, is it true that Cordillera is so nostalgic for you?" Leonardo. Beirut asked curiously.

He admits that the Cordillera is indeed very vibrant, but it is a wasteland after all, and Leonardo. Beirut doesn't like that it is full of inferior and alien smells, look at the bustling people on the streets of Mandy Gaza, if those green elves are relatively eye-catching, the faces of orcs and barbarians are inevitably hateful, which makes Leonardo. There is always a sense of insecurity in Beirut...... Although he also knew that orcs and barbarians were even more loyal than humans, the feeling that 'if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different' always lingered in his mind.

"Why? Carsif is also my territory, Cordillera is also my territory, and even Lancais, and my willingness to choose where my freedom is not indicative of my attitude. ”

Hathaway shrugged and responded disapprovingly.

"What about Mardenton?"

Hathaway laughed, her old friend was still a little nervous. Officialdom is like a big dye vat, and no matter how strong the friendship is soaked in officialdom for a long time, it will change. Although Hathaway knew that the purpose of this old friend's trip was not pure, she did not expect him to mention this issue directly.

"Leonardo, what do you want to say?"

"Mardanton, you know, the Beirut family has a lot to gain over there"

"Oh, I thought you were representing His Highness Dietrich," Hathaway said half-sarcastically, "Everyone benefits, Mardanton is important, what do you want?" ”

Leonardo. Beirut's eyes lit up, but he immediately realized that this was the other party ridiculing him, and immediately said with a little displeasure: "Hathaway, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting." Hathaway shook her head, but sighed in her heart, "Okay, Leonardo, what do you want me to do?" Open Mardanton? Or something else? ”

Leonardo. Beirut struggles to control its emotions, self-esteem comes from self-control, and failure to do so leads to a loss of self-esteem," the Beirut family does not have such a big appetite. I just need to give concessions. ”

"Concessions? A concession exempt from toll tax or a concession that allows you to move freely? Hathaway asked rhetorically.

"What's the difference?"

"The concession to exempt from the toll tax can only be for a short time, and the free passage can last long, but it must be done according to the rules that have been made," Hathaway said lightly.

"What rules?" Leonardo. Beirut was a little confused.

"Leonardo, you seem to have overlooked the 'good relations' between me and the two lords of the north, and no one can tolerate the free passage of goods from these two places without paying the toll tax, at least not here." Hathaway said coldly.

Leonardo. A hint of shock flashed in Beirut's eyes: "Hathaway, do you really want to deal with the Fernando family and the Rochester family?" ”

"How long do you think peace will last between me and them?" Hathaway asked rhetorically.

"But, but ......"

"But what? What do you want to say? Is the battle between His Highness Dietrich and His Highness Caesar not over yet? ”

Hathaway said unceremoniously, "What does that have to do with me?" That's a litter of dog-eat-dog in their Fei Wenlie family, and those bullshit things are worth my concern? ”

Leonardo. Beirut was completely stunned by Hathaway's baric and presumptuous words, although the royal family was indeed very disappointing, but such an unceremonious face-to-face evaluation as Hathaway. It's the first time I've encountered it.

"You. You, Hathaway, you're crazy!"

Finally came to his senses, and Leonardo, whose face was ugly. Beirut was just about to stand up. was made by Hathaway to press down with the palm of his hand...... He only felt a strange force slam his body against the chair again. "Leonardo. You are smart, at least smarter and more sane than His Highness Dietrich. Rise and fall is the inevitable process of the development of things. The same goes for the Fivinlies, and so does the Otiga Empire. If you cling to the glorious history of the past, you will only go astray and self-destruction, you are a smart person, it is time to plan for yourself...... Will it become a funerary object of a decaying empire, or will it be free from its shackles in time? ”

Leonardo. Beirut raised his head and met Hathaway's nonchalant eyes: "Hathaway, you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Of course I know, I'm awake, don't think I'm talking in my sleep." Hathaway said.

Staring straight at Hathaway, Leonardo. Beirut's eyes were only calm: "Are you sure you can deal with the alliance of the Fernando family, the Rochester family, and the Grand Duke Erabeni?" ”

"Why should I fight one against three?" The corners of Hathaway's mouth lifted slightly, "I didn't say they were all my enemies at the same time." ”

"You think they're fools? They don't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? "Leonardo. Beirut scoffed.

"Of course they weren't, but neither was I." Hathaway said incomprehensibly.

Leonardo. Beirut knew that the other party would not have a substantive discussion with him on this issue at this time, so he was silent for a moment and said: "Don't underestimate the opponent, the military strength of Bukhalin Province is much stronger than imagined, and there are rebels in the Yugoslav Federation, don't imagine that they will let go because of your father, for the sake of the survival of the family, even you can give up yourself, let alone others?" ”

"Well, it's good that you understand that." Hathaway was very pleased with his attitude.

……

The loyalty of a nobleman is like a. The archway of chastity, don't look at its tall and brilliant, everyone knows what kind of goods are inside.

Watching Leonardo. After Beirut walked out of the room, Hathaway's mouth was full of smiles, but her eyes were very cold. She ordered Barth. Willie and Petro. Hughes invited him over, and now it seems that the plan should be accelerated, and many things have developed more than he expected.

Barthes. Willie and Petro. Both Hughes listened quietly as Hathaway recounted Leonardo. Beirut's intentions, for the bait thrown by Hathaway, neither of them mattered, whether it was North Carol or Atlanta, that would be a matter for the future. Now it is necessary to determine which piece to start with, and how to deal with the possibility of a coalition with the other side, especially the threat of the Grand Duke Erabeni.

"Bruce. Is Fernando so convinced of our promises? ”

Barthes. Willie was obviously still suspicious of the Fernando family's defection, and in his opinion, as long as there was no problem with his head, it was impossible to believe in the sincerity of the Cordillera, there were too many examples of this kind of rabbit and dead dog cooking.

"Hmph, although not everyone can only do things that are made with tigers, Bruce may feel that he is the best of them."

Hathaway smiled disdainfully, "He thought he would be able to sit back and relax with the assurance of the Church of Nature, and I would tell him that betrayers are often allies." ”

"It doesn't seem like the Southern Will Federation is going to do anything to Atlanta right now? Their rule in the northern part of the empire was precarious, and their policy of softness was only beginning to bear fruit, which was the main reason why they were at peace with the province of Atlanta. ”

Barthes. Willie did not agree with Hathaway's opinion, he did not dare to assert on the side of the Natural Church, but he knew very well the situation on the rebel side: "At this time, a knife in the back of Atlanta can certainly see the immediate benefits, but it is very detrimental to their long-term plan, there are many wise people among the rebels, they should be able to see this, which is also a prerequisite for Bruce to dare to shake hands with us." ”

"Hehe, Barth, you're talking under normal circumstances...... But not necessarily in certain cases, but now is not the time to think about it, and you will know the mystery later. ”

Hathaway smiled faintly, "The rebels won't move them yet, but in the future, hum, who can say clearly?" We have a long way to go, and we can only go down one step at a time. ”

Barthes. Willy didn't say much, Hathaway's wrist he deeply understood, this lord hides many unknown secrets behind him, he won't leak it out unless necessary, he only needs to make specific tactical preparations and operations.

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
