Sure enough, as Penelope, the Emperor of the Yingroba Empire, predicted, the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire did secretly contact the Tang Empire, hoping to end the state of war with the Tang Empire.

The four countries of the Nine Nations Military Alliance have chosen to surrender to the Tang Empire one after another, and the strong military strength displayed by the Tang Empire has made the Sharad Empire and the Noomi Empire have no confidence to continue to fight with the Tang Empire.

In the palace in Kai City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, Prime Minister Julian said to Emperor Edgrew in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Tang Empire has given a reply, and there are three main truce conditions for our Noomi Empire, the first point is for our Noomi Empire to admit defeat and withdraw from the nine-nation military alliance, and the second point is to ask our Noomi Empire to compensate the Tang Empire for the war indemnity of 30 billion Tang Yuan, The third point is to have our Noomi Royal Navy hand over twenty super dreadnought battleships and twenty battle cruisers to the Datang Navy. ”

Emperor Edgrew couldn't help frowning when he heard the three-point armistice conditions proposed by the Tang Empire.

The first point is nothing, admitting defeat will not drop a piece of meat, but the last two points are equivalent to digging a large piece of meat off the body of the Noomi Empire.

Three hundred billion Tang Yuan is almost three billion No. Dollars, even if the Royal Gold Mine and the Royal Silver Mine owned by the Noomi royal family are combined, the annual output value is only close to three billion No. 1 dollars, and the war indemnity of three billion No. 10 billion is equal to the output value of the Royal Gold Mine and the Royal Silver Mine for ten years.

In the naval battle outside Huifeng Harbor, the Noomi Royal Navy lost thirty-nine super dreadnought battleships, thirty-nine battle cruisers and seven dreadnought battleships at once.

Today, there are only forty-nine super dreadnought battleships, forty-seven battle cruisers and three dreadnought battleships left in the entire Noomi Royal Navy, and a small half of the strength has been lost.

If another twenty super dreadnought battleships and twenty battle cruisers are given to the Tang Royal Navy, then the strength of the Noomi Royal Navy will be cut in half.

Emperor Edgrew snorted coldly and said: "The two armistice conditions proposed by the Tang Empire are too much, our Noomi Empire's finances can't take out 20 billion Tang Yuan at all, and it is impossible for our Noomi Royal Navy to hand over twenty super dreadnought battleships and twenty battle cruisers to the Tang Navy!" ”

Prime Minister Julian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by our Noomi intelligence department, the navy of the Tang Empire has been reorganized, expanding the seven main fleets to nine, and the Datang Navy already has a plan to blockade the coast of our Noomi Empire, in addition, the Tang Empire is still constantly strengthening the army and air force in the western border area, if our Noomi Empire does not get out as soon as possible, the scale of the war is likely to be uncontrollable." ”

A cold light flashed in Emperor Edgru's eyes, "Even if the military strength of the Tang Empire is extremely strong, but our Noomi Empire, together with the Yingluoba Empire and the Sharad Empire, is not without the slightest power to fight back, and now only our Noomi Empire has sent nine million troops and eight hundred warplanes to the territory of the Sharad Empire. ”

Prime Minister Julian said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, let's not mention how many troops the Tang Army has, and how many fighters the Tang Air Force has, even if our Noomi Empire is willing to do everything we can to continue to fight with the Tang Empire, but the Yingluoba Empire and the Sharad Empire may not have such determination, if nothing else, the Yingroba Empire and the Sharad Empire should also secretly get in touch with the Tang Empire, hoping to get out of this war." ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "Your Majesty, once the Yingroba Empire and the Sharad Empire reach an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire first, then our Noomi Empire will be very passive. ”

Prime Minister Julian's words made Emperor Edgru's face suddenly show a little bitterness, "Then you can't accept all the harsh conditions given by the Tang Empire, otherwise our Noomi Empire will be broken, and don't want to ease up for several years." ”

Prime Minister Julian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Empire is asking for a sky-high price, and our Noomi Empire can negotiate to lower the armistice conditions of the Tang Empire, but without paying a certain price, we will not let the Tang Empire agree to sign an armistice agreement with our Noomi Empire." ”

Emperor Edgrew thought for a moment and said: "It is impossible for any super dreadnought battleship or battle cruiser of our Noomi Royal Navy to be handed over to the Tang Navy, as for the war reparation, it must be controlled within three billion Tang Yuan, and the Monia Empire can pay three billion Tang Yuan to the Tang Empire, which is already a lot." ”

Prime Minister Julian said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there is only three billion war reparations, and the Tang Empire will never agree, although the Monia Empire has also joined the Nine Nations Military Alliance, but in this war, the Monia Empire has never fought with the Tang Empire, and our Noomi Royal Navy has a big battle with the Tang Navy." ”

Emperor Edgrew gritted his teeth and said, "In that naval battle that took place outside Huifeng Harbor, our Noomi Royal Navy suffered heavy losses, and only the super dreadnought battleship and the battle cruiser lost thirty-nine ships each!" ”

Prime Minister Julian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Empire will not calculate how much our Noomi Royal Navy has lost, they will only calculate how much their navy has lost in that naval battle." ”

Emperor Edgrew was silent for a while before he spoke: "I can not limit the amount of compensation, but I must strive to sign an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire at the lowest cost. ”

With a "snap-" sound, the Emperor of the Shalad Empire, Herris, slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and then shouted angrily: "The Tang Empire is simply too deceitful, not only asking our Sharad Empire to compensate 40 billion Tang Yuan in war reparations, as well as twenty super dreadnought battleships and twenty battle cruisers, but also asking our Sharad Empire to cede one million square kilometers of land, does the Tang Empire really think that we will eat our Shalad Empire!" ”

Shurik, the prime minister of the Sharad Empire, said with a wry smile: "The Tang Empire does not have the slightest sincerity in negotiation, but according to the information obtained by our Sharad intelligence department, the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire have also started contact with the Tang Empire. ”

Emperor Herris said with a fierce glint in his eyes: "I will never agree to cede an inch of land, our Sharad Empire has a population of more than nine hundred million, and if we are in a hurry, I will implement the strategy of all the people and fight to the end with the Tang Empire!" ”

Hearing the cruel words released by Emperor Herris, Prime Minister Shurik sighed, "Your Majesty, if it really comes to that point, our Sharad Empire will have to pay a considerable price, and if we don't get it right, we will be doomed, so the minister suggested talking to the Tang Empire and striving to lower the armistice conditions of the Tang Empire." ”

Emperor Herris gathered the fierce light in his eyes, nodded slightly, and said: "If the Tang Empire can give in, it's okay, but it is impossible to cede an inch of land, and the war reparations must be reduced to less than five billion Tang Yuan, and it is impossible for the capital ship of our Salad Royal Navy to be handed over to the Tang Navy in vain!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers will try their best to let the Tang Empire lower the conditions of the armistice."

"You can't be too weak in negotiating with the Tang Empire, it's a big deal to fight with the Tang Empire!"

On the afternoon of October 15, 3016 in the Tang calendar, in a palace in the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Xu Haoming, the prime minister of the Tang Empire, said to Su Yi with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, now Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi have sent people to make secret contact with our Tang Empire, hoping to end the state of war with our Tang Empire. ”

A smile appeared on Su Yi's face, "Presumably, the emperor of the Shalad Empire will definitely be angry and scolded when he sees the armistice conditions set by our Tang Empire against the Sharad Empire." ”

It turned out that after consulting with the high-ranking people in the army, Su Yi decided to use this war with the military alliance of the Nine Nations to teach the Shalad Empire a hard lesson, and pull off a layer of skin from the Sharad Empire.

In order to bite off a piece of fat from the Sharad Empire, the Tang Empire will greatly reduce the armistice conditions of the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire, strive to isolate the Sharad Empire, and then use the Tang Royal Army and the Tang Royal Air Force to invade the territory of the Sharad Empire and expand the territory of the Tang Empire.

Therefore, although the armistice conditions offered by the Tang Empire to the Yingroba Empire and the Noomi Empire are already much lower than those of the Sharad Empire, according to Su Yi's request, the armistice conditions given by the Tang Empire to these two countries will be lowered even more, so that these two countries can stay out of the way when the Tang Empire attacks the Sharad Empire and not mess around.

Cabinet Premier Xu Haoming said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after our Tang Empire, the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire signed an armistice agreement respectively, the emperor of the Shalad Empire doesn't know what kind of mood he will have?" ”

Su Yi said with a smile: "Even if there is only one enemy left, we can't be careless, after all, the Shalad Empire is currently the fourth largest country in the world, with a population of more than 900 million, if the Shalad Empire does its best, it will not be easy for our Tang Empire to defeat the Sharad Empire." ”

The number one world power is naturally none other than the Tang Empire, while the Yingroba Empire and the Noomi Empire are temporarily ranked second and third respectively.

He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire in the palace, said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, now that our Royal Army of the Tang Dynasty has gathered more than 40 million troops in the western border area, if necessary, we can also mobilize another 60 or 70 million troops to join the battle against the Sharad Empire. ”

In addition to He Yunfei, Xia Xuezhi, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force, and Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, were also in this palace at this time.

Then Xia Xuezhi, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force, said loudly: "Your Majesty, our Royal Air Force has gathered a total of more than 5,000 fighters of all kinds in the western border area, and we are fully confident that we can control the sky of the entire Sharad Empire. ”

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, followed and said: "Your Majesty, if necessary, our Royal Navy can capture any port city in the Salad Empire and open up a second battlefield for the Royal Army in the territory of the Sharad Empire. ”

Although Su Yi said that he couldn't be careless about the Sharad Empire, Su Yi also believed that if there was only one enemy left, the Shalad Empire, with the current military strength of the Tang Empire, it would be enough to defeat the Sharad Empire, it was just a matter of how much price to pay.

Su Yi then changed the subject, "By the way, how did the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom react to the armistice conditions proposed by our Tang Empire?" ”

For the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, Su Yi is not ready to let go of these two countries easily, Su Yi hopes to use the annexation of these two countries as a springboard to include the numerous islands in the southern continent into the territory of the Tang Empire, or into the sphere of influence of the Tang Empire.

Therefore, when the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to end the war with the Tang Empire, under the instruction of Su Yi, the Tang Empire issued very harsh armistice conditions for the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom.

Not only did they demand that the Kingdom of Hessel and the Kingdom of Revelli pay huge war reparations, but also demanded that the two countries each cede more than one million square kilometers of territory, and of course, let the navies of the two countries hand over the super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers.

Xu Haoming, the prime minister of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, the people of the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, although they are very angry about the armistice conditions offered by our Tang Empire, are still in contact with our Tang Empire, hoping that through negotiations, our Tang Empire can lower the conditions. ”

The corners of Su Yi's mouth curled slightly, "The navy and the army, we must draw up a battle plan to attack the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom as soon as possible, our Tang Empire has never conducted a large-scale beach landing battle before, so in many details, we need to think more carefully to avoid paying some unnecessary losses when landing." ”

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, then immediately said: "Your Majesty, our Royal Navy has drawn up two battle plans for landing in the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, but because the attack on the Shalad Empire is about to be launched, it is best to start implementing these two battle plans after defeating the Sharad Empire." ”

He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the strength of the armies of the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom is not weak, in order to avoid affecting the layout of our Tang Empire on the many islands on the southern continent, I also suggest that it is best to study the matter of landing on the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom after solving the Sharad Empire." ”

Su Yi nodded and said, "I also have the same consideration as you, the Sharad Empire must solve it first before it can implement the plan of landing on the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom, and avoid fighting on both sides as much as possible." ”
