August, the prime minister of the British Empire, walked into the palace with a telegram in his hand and a look of excitement on his face.

After Prime Minister Auguste met Emperor Penelope, he said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, good news! Good news! The Tang Empire finally relented and lowered the conditions of the armistice! ”

When Emperor Penelope heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat, "The Tang Empire has lowered the conditions for the armistice?" ”

Prime Minister August handed over the telegram in his hand, "It has indeed come down, the Tang Empire has given up the condition that our Royal Navy of Yingluoba pay compensation for super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, and has reduced the war indemnity to five billion Tang Yuan, which should be the final condition issued by the Tang Empire." ”

Emperor Penelope quickly read the telegram handed over by Prime Minister Auguste, and then breathed a sigh of relief, if he could end this war with the Tang Empire just by paying five billion Tang Yuan, in the opinion of Emperor Penelope, it was still acceptable.

However, five billion Tang Yuan is equivalent to five hundred million British dollars, and Emperor Penelope still has a faint pain in his heart, and five hundred million British dollars is enough to build more than a hundred guts-class super dreadnought battleships.

The Guts class is a super dreadnought battleship under construction in the Anglopa Empire, with five 432mm guns and a full load displacement of up to 53,500 tons, and each Guts class costs about 4.2 million British dollars.

Currently funded by the British Empire, a total of thirty Guts-class super dreadnought battleships are being built at the same time, and thirty Annihilation-class battlecruisers with 432 mm guns are also under construction.

Emperor Penelope pondered for a moment and said, "Five billion Tang Yuan is also a lot, is it possible for the Tang Empire to reduce the amount of reparations?" ”

Prime Minister August said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the minister feels that there should be no more bargaining with the Tang Empire, and it is best to sign an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire as soon as possible, so that our Yingluoba Empire can get out of the quagmire of this war." ”

Emperor Penelope thought for a moment, and said helplessly: "Then please trouble the prime minister to take a transport plane to the capital of the Tang Empire!" As the prime minister said, there has been no news that the Tang Empire has reached an armistice agreement with Sharad and Noomi, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is no longer necessary to pay more war reparations. ”

Prime Minister Auguste saw that Emperor Penelope agreed to the armistice conditions offered by the Tang Empire, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will arrange a transport plane to rush to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire, as soon as possible, and sign the armistice agreement." ”

To the surprise of August, the prime minister of the Yingluoba Empire, when he arrived in Chang'an City by plane, he actually met Yulian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, at the Prime Minister's Office of the Tang Empire.

When the two prime ministers met, they were a little embarrassed, after all, both countries privately launched armistice negotiations with the Tang Empire, which was tantamount to abandoning their allies.

August August, the Prime Minister of the Yingluoba Empire, coughed and said, "Prime Minister Julian, presumably both of us have the same mission here, both to end this war with the Tang Empire. ”

When Julian, the prime minister of the Noomi Empire, heard August's straightforward words, he no longer hid it, "Our Noomi Empire has reached an agreement with the Tang Empire on the terms of the armistice, and I came to Chang'an City this time to prepare to formally sign an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire." ”

August then said: "Our Yingluoba Empire has also reached a consensus with the Tang Empire on the issue of armistice conditions, I came to Chang'an City to sign a formal armistice agreement with the Tang Empire, I don't know what the armistice conditions reached between your Noomi Empire and the Tang Empire are?" ”

Julian shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is nothing to hide from this, our Noomi Empire will compensate the Tang Empire for the war reparations of five billion Tang Yuan, I don't know what the conditions for the armistice between the Yingluoba Empire and the Tang Empire are?" ”

August smiled bitterly, "It's also a war reparation of five billion Tang Yuan, it seems that the Tang Empire treats our two countries equally." ”

Julian hesitated at this time and said: "As far as I know, the armistice conditions given by the Tang Empire to the Shalad Empire are still very harsh, and even require the Shalad Empire to cede a large area of land, and in the negotiation process, there has been no concession to the Sharad Empire. ”

August's brows furrowed, "Prime Minister Julian, do you mean that the Tang Empire deliberately lowered the conditions for the armistice between our two countries, so that our two countries can get out of this war, and then prepare to be unfavorable to the Sharad Empire?" ”

Julian sighed and said: "Although the relationship between our Noomi Empire and the Sharad Empire is not very good, once the Sharad Empire is defeated by the Tang Empire, the iron hooves of the Tang Empire will be equivalent to stepping into our Western Continent." ”

August shook his head a little helplessly, "Prime Minister Julian, even if you know that there is a conspiracy between the Tang Empire and our two countries to sign an armistice agreement, aren't you Noomi Empire ready to sign the armistice agreement?" ”

Julian replied with a wry smile, "Prime Minister August is right, our Noomi Empire really does not have the capital to take care of the affairs of the Sharad Empire, and it is already a blessing for our Noomy Empire to end this war with the Tang Empire, and after the armistice agreement is officially signed with the Tang Empire, the troops of our Noomi Empire in the Sharad Empire will be withdrawn to the country as soon as possible, as for the Sharad Empire, they can only ask for more blessings." ”

August also showed a wry smile, "The strength of the Shalad Empire itself is not weak, maybe the Sharad Empire will plunge the Tang Empire into a quagmire of war." ”

On October 24, 3016 in the Tang calendar, a powerful news spread throughout the world, on this day, the Tang Empire signed an armistice agreement with the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire, and the Yingroba and Noomi Empire each compensated the Tang Empire with a war indemnity of 5 billion Tang Yuan, which was paid off in five years, and the interest of the five years added up to 500 million Tang Yuan.

In other words, both the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire will eventually compensate the Tang Empire with a war indemnity of 5.5 billion Tang Yuan.

After the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire also withdrew from the war, there were only three countries left in the original nine-nation military alliance, and the state of war with the Tang Empire had not yet ended.

Such a result suddenly made the remaining Sharad Empire, Hessel Kingdom, and Revelli Kingdom like a thorn in the back.

In the palace of Mangas City, the capital of the Hessel Kingdom, King Munika asked Prime Minister Uriso at a loss: "Prime Minister, now among the nine military alliances, only our Hessel Kingdom, the Sharad Empire, and the Revelli Kingdom are left, and there is no truce agreement with the Tang Empire, when will our Hessel Kingdom officially withdraw from this war?" ”

Prime Minister Uriso frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the armistice conditions given to us by the Tang Empire to our Hessel Kingdom are too harsh, not only asking our Hessel Kingdom to cede all the islands except Hessel Island, but also asking our Hessel Kingdom to compensate 20 billion Tang Yuan for the war indemnity, and in addition, the remaining fifteen super dreadnought battleships and eleven battlecruisers of our Hessel Navy must also be compensated to the Tang Empire. ”

Soon after the war between the Tang Empire and the Seven-Nation Alliance ended, the Hessel Kingdom dispatched its navy and army to annex the surrounding four island countries in succession, expanding the land area to more than 7 million square kilometers.

In addition to Hessel Island, the Hessel Kingdom currently has eighty-two islands, and the combined area of these eighty-two islands is almost three million square kilometers.

King Munika then said: "But now there are only three countries left in the Nine Nations Military Alliance, and they can't defeat the Tang Empire at all, what if the Tang Empire sends an army to attack our Hessel Kingdom?" ”

Prime Minister Uriso suddenly said with some impatience: "Your Majesty, these things will be handled by the ministers, you better spend more energy on your studies!" ”

After saying that, Prime Minister Uriso flicked his sleeves and left, and the young King Munika was flushed with anger.

King Munika is only 16 years old this year, and only succeeded to the throne of the Hessel Kingdom last year, due to the sudden death of the previous king of the Hessel Kingdom, the rights of the Hessel Kingdom have not been completed normally, and the current rights of the Hessel Kingdom have completely fallen into the hands of Prime Minister Uriso.

Prime Minister Uriso knew very well that with the military strength of the Hessel Kingdom, it could not compete with the Tang Empire at all, and after the Hessel Kingdom annexed the surrounding four island countries, the internal affairs of the Hessel Kingdom were not calm, and the remnants of the four island countries had not been completely wiped out by the army of the Hessel Kingdom.

If the Tang Empire is connected with the remnants of the four island countries, the Hessel Kingdom will have a lot of fun, once the Tang Empire sends troops to the Hessel Kingdom, not only the dozens of islands of the four island countries are likely to be easily occupied by the Tang Empire, but the Hessel Kingdom will not even be able to keep the Hessel Island.

After the Yingluopa Empire and the Noomi Empire announced their withdrawal from the Nine-Nation Military Alliance, Prime Minister Uriso soon sent a telegram to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire.

On the morning of October 26, in a palace in the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Xu Haoming, the premier of the Tang Empire, told Su Yi: "Your Majesty, the Hessel Kingdom has suddenly expressed its willingness to cede all the eighty-two islands except Hessel Island to our Tang Empire, hoping that our Tang Empire can make some concessions in terms of war reparations and compensation for warships. ”

Su Yi did not immediately express his opinion on the Hessel Kingdom's agreement to cede more than three million square kilometers of land, but turned his head to He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and asked, "Yunfei, do you think our Tang Empire should agree to the conditions offered by the Hessel Kingdom?" ”

He Yunfei immediately said: "Your Majesty, the reason why our Tang Empire is preparing to annex the Hessel Kingdom and the Revelli Kingdom this time is mainly to use these two countries as a springboard to incorporate the many islands in the southern continent into the territory of the Tang Empire. There could be another reason for that. ”

Su Yi nodded slightly, "The benefits of sending it to the door for nothing, if you don't take it for nothing, then this time you will temporarily let go of the Hessel Kingdom once!" ”

Prime Minister Xu Haoming said: "Your Majesty, the negotiator of the Kingdom of Revelli seems to be ready to make a large concession. ”

Taking advantage of the last war between the Seven Nations Alliance and the Tang Empire, the Revelli Kingdom annexed the surrounding eleven militarily weaker island countries at once, which made the land area of the Revelli Kingdom suddenly swell to more than eight million square kilometers, and the combined area of these eleven island countries was close to five million square kilometers.

The armistice conditions currently offered by the Tang Empire to the Revelli Kingdom are not only 10 billion Tang Yuan in war indemnity, but also require the Revelli Kingdom to cede all the 11 island countries annexed to the Tang Empire, and also require the Revelli Navy to deliver twelve super dreadnought battleships and twelve battle cruisers to the Tang Royal Navy.

Su Yi showed a smile and said: "If the Revelli Kingdom is also willing to cede all the eleven island countries annexed, about five million square kilometers of land, to our Tang Empire, we can also make some concessions in terms of war reparations and compensation for warships, so that we don't need to pay much price, and our Tang Empire will complete the layout of the many islands on the southern continent." ”

Just a few days after Yingluoba and Noomi signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire, the Hessel Kingdom also officially signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire.

According to this armistice agreement, the Hessel Kingdom needed to pay four billion Tang Yuan in war indemnity to the Tang Empire, which would be paid in twenty years, and the interest on the twenty years would add up to 800 million Tang Yuan.

In addition, all the eighty-two islands of the Hessel Kingdom except for Hessel Island had to be ceded to the Tang Empire, and the Hessel Navy would also compensate the Tang Empire with five super dreadnought battleships and five battle cruisers.

On the second day after the Hessel Kingdom signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire, the Revelli Kingdom also officially signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire.

The war indemnity of the Kingdom of Revelli was 3.5 billion Tang Yuan, which was also paid in 20 years, and the interest for 20 years added up to 700 million Tang Yuan.

According to the provisions of the armistice agreement, the Revelli Kingdom needs to cede all the eleven island countries annexed during the war between the Seven Nations Alliance and the Tang Empire to the Tang Empire, and the Revelli Navy also has to take out five super dreadnought battleships and five battle cruisers and deliver them to the Tang Royal Navy.

So far, the nine-nation military alliance originally composed of nine countries is the only thing left of the Shalad Empire, which has not yet signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire.
