Chapter 352: Negotiation Attack and Defense

During this month, a very sad thing happened, that is, Mr. Nobel, the inventor of the anti-disease agent of the Black Death, finally died in the treatment room due to sepsis and systemic organ failure after fighting the disease for more than half a month.

Nobel, as if forever a sad name, spent his life studying science, but died in the prime of his glory, not even forty years old.

It was the Rector of Heidelberg University who discovered this and spread it in the name of the Medical Contest, so that the world would remember the name.

The whole story was very tragic, and Modesal also sought out several famous tragic writers at the time, including Shakespeare, Cervantes and others, and asked them to write a play based on the deeds of Mr. Nobel, so that it could be circulated and known to the world.

At the same time, a grand funeral was held in Switzerland, the home of Dr. Nobel, presided over by the Holy See, and many prominent people on the European continent rushed to see Dr. Nobel on his last journey, but Eugen was too busy to go because of the anti-Black Death.

However, he sent Parma to the funeral as his representative, and Parma was appointed the first president of the Nobel Prize Society, and he took care of all this affairs.

The anti-disaster potion played a huge role, and the Black Death was finally suppressed beyond the Po River defenses, and the gloom that hung over the Holy Roman Empire quietly dissipated, leaving everyone's hearts breathed a sigh of relief.

Another major event at home, Emperor Charles VI's attacks on Prussia and Saxony were also successful, and in the face of a large army, the two Grand Duchyes had absolutely no resistance at all, and they did not even lay out defensive lines on the territory, just allowing the Habsburg army to advance inward.

Under the command of Commander-in-Chief Ike and Francis, the army was overwhelmed and eventually surrounded Berlin and Dresden, respectively.

However, the army has always besieged but not attacked, after all, this is equivalent to the last fig leaf of the two big families, and if they continue to fight, it will really be time for the fish to die and the net will be broken.

Charles VI did not want to destroy the two great families for the time being, he just wanted to force the two families to back down, let them pay war reparations, divide the territory, and sign the 1713 state edict.

The two big families in a weak position are completely powerless to resist, but they are still unwilling to let go of the terms of the peace talks, and the two sides quarrel fiercely around the negotiation table, spitting stars splashing everywhere, and there is no aristocratic demeanor at all.

Of course, everyone knows that this is not the time to talk about style, everyone at the negotiation table represents the interests of the whole country, and it may be just a casual sentence, and millions of huge interests are involved.

No one will ask for face at this time, and if they can, they will even want to put on each other's faces to gag each other's mouths.

This is also one of the reasons why Eugen is reluctant to participate in it, although he is not afraid of quarreling with people, but he still prefers to be cleaner in comparison, and it is more comfortable for him to rely on words to fight for interests.

After all, Francis is a businessman, and he also has a considerable advantage in this regard, and in the negotiation with the Vetina family, it can be said that he will not give an inch, and his mouth is crackling like a machine gun, and the cannonballs are bombarded towards the other party in a row.

The Negotiator of the House of Vetina was not Duke Billund, but the Duke's uncle, the chief minister of the Duchy of Saxony, a native of Saxony who did not have the rugged character of the Saxons, but was as sinister and calculating as the Bavarians.

In the face of Francis's verbal offensive, he remained as immobile as a mountain, and whenever Francis mentioned some key points, the chief minister neither agreed nor objected, but kept kicking the ball around and going in circles with Francis.

If Francis pressed hard, the old fox threatened him with some things that Francis had done before, and Francis, who had shit on his ass, had no choice but to loosen his mouth slightly.

On the other hand, General Ike faced a similar situation, but compared to Francis, General Ike was much calmer, and he had fought head-to-head with the Prussian family, and they had already formed a grudge against each other.

At the negotiating table, General Ike also showed the momentum of the two armies, after all, General Ike was carrying tens of thousands of Habsburg soldiers who died in battle, as well as the heroic cavalry, for which he was like a creditor collecting debts, pressing on the Prussian negotiators step by step, looking like he was going to fight hard.

The Prussian negotiator was neither Duke Friedrich nor Kyiros, but a son of the Hohenzollern family, who all had a first-class status, and seemed to have just come of age.

Where the young Hohenzollern was the opponent of General Ike, sometimes the quarrel was so fierce that the boy could not even speak.

For a series of conditions put forward by General Ike, Hohenzollern also agreed as much as he could, and reluctantly agreed to those who couldn't.

In the end, General Ike was embarrassed to press, after all, Hohenzollern is also a big family, the family prestige is still there, and according to Charles VI's will, he does not want to completely destroy Hohenzollern.

After all, several major families are still members of an empire, and in case France and other countries come to fight, these families can provide some support.

The negotiations were finally finalized, and Hohenzollern agreed to sign the Edict of State, and to pay the Habsburgs a total of fifteen million in war reparations, including interest, to pay three million first, and the rest to be repaid over twenty years, and to cede a large area south of the Lebs region to the line of Hewitz, which was incorporated into the Habsburgs' sphere of rule.

After negotiating these conditions, the two sides dealt with some details, and then an armistice was signed.

These conditions can be said to be quite generous for the Habsburgs, and the weight of state edicts and gold coins is naturally needless to say, and the territory ceded is the real treasure.

You know, with this territory, the Habsburgs' control area can be extended hundreds of kilometers to the south, which suddenly has a huge strategic room for maneuver.

In addition to its strategic value, it is also a well-known agricultural planting and mining area, rich in products, and has great development potential, which is definitely a very big harvest for the Habsburgs.
