Chapter 84: Persuasion of Peace

General Charlie shouted loudly, his tone was full of excitement, looking at the bandits' nest in front of him, it was like seeing a big golden bump, there was another reason why he was willing to suppress the bandits, that is, these bandits must have gathered a lot of ill-gotten wealth over the years, if they were recruited, they could only get a small part, if they were all exterminated, wouldn't it be all their own?

Although he told his brothers, he only asked about the money inside, but those big and small leaders, after snatching things, could they not tell themselves? A good thing that is both famous and affordable, how could he miss it?

However, just as he was about to give the order to attack, Clifford walked over quickly, pulled General Charlie's sleeve and said, "Your Excellency, please wait for a while. ”

When General Charlie saw that it was Clifford, he immediately became angry, I don't know why, the more he looks at this kid now, the more annoying he feels, and he looks at him angrily, and says, "It turns out that it is Lord Overseer, I don't know what you are doing here?" If I'm not mistaken, you can't interfere with military command. ”

"Of course." Collie actually didn't want to bird him in his heart, but everyone was now a cooperative relationship, and the kung fu on the surface still had to get by, and said nonchalantly: "However, what I'm talking to you about now is not a military issue, but a diplomatic issue." ”

"Diplomatic issues?" General Charlie smiled, looked at Clifford with a bit of banter and smiled: "I heard me right, I'm just a big old man who can only lead troops to fight, what diplomatic issues you talk to me about, if you want to talk about it, you can also talk to Governor Taylor or the officials in the royal capital of Vienna." ”

"Governor Taylor already knows about this, but the city of En is far from the county of Dolai, and he cannot give us an order at once, and I think his order is coming soon, and in the meantime the general must immediately halt the attack and remain at peace with Joseph." Collie snorted coldly in his heart, put on a straight face, raised his eyes and looked straight at General Charlie, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said.

General Charlie couldn't believe his ears, this broken city is about to be defeated, why do you let me be safe with that bandit leader? You have a hole in your brain, so angry that your beard shook and shouted, "Do you know what you're talking about? Don't you know who the people are in the walled city? How many people have they killed, and now they have killed so many of our officers and soldiers, and now you let me be safe with them? ”

Some middle-level generals near the two of them heard their conversation, and they also shouted: "Yes, Lord Supervisor, do everything to eliminate evil, these bandits have been doing evil for so long, how can they be easily let go, if so, what else do you need the law for?" ”

"Yes, Lord Warden, we must rush in, and we must teach those bandits a hard lesson!"

Clifford glanced at them, his eyes were full of majesty, and he scolded in his heart: Don't your mother say it so nicely, all the great and righteous words lean on yourself, don't think I don't know what you think in your hearts, except for a bad anger in the past few days and revenge for your friends, isn't it the little money in the bandits' den? Why are you so noble?

Clifford has always been a strict person, plus he is a prisoner and Taylor's cronies, these generals are very afraid of him, and when they see him swept away, they don't dare to speak, Clifford is unwilling to waste his tongue with these little shrimps, and instead said to General Charlie, who was standing on the side and waiting for him: "General Charlie, don't be angry first, look who is coming?" Then he took his right hand and brought out a man.

That person, General Charles, didn't know either, but it could be seen from the clothes alone that he was from the Kingdom of Prussia, and he was also an official, with a certain rank, and looked at Clifford with some doubts, and said coldly: "Count Clifford, why are you bringing a foreigner to show me?" ”

Without waiting for Clifford to speak, the official of the Kingdom of Prussia bowed slightly to General Charlie and said politely: "Hello, General Charlie, I am the representative of the Consul General of the Kingdom of Prussia in the three northern counties, and I have come here to negotiate with you, hoping that you will stop attacking the bandits in the cottage and allow them to surrender." ”

This foreigner's attitude is very bad, although the words are very polite, but the tone is unacceptable, as if he is giving an order to General Charles, which makes General Charles very dissatisfied, he is a soldier, more or less bloody, although your Prussian Kingdom is stronger than our Rhine Kingdom, but you are less likely to come to me, immediately raised eyebrows at the envoy, and said angrily: "This gentleman, I don't care whose representative you are, but I need to remind you that the suppression of bandits is an internal affair of our Rhine Kingdom, You, the Kingdom of Prussia, have no right to interfere. General Ben is busy with military affairs, so he won't entertain you, so please go back. With that, he twisted his head.

Seeing that General Charlie's stinky temper came up, Collie shouted in his heart that it was not good, although he said that he was very good at doing this, and he could maintain the dignity of his side, but in the situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is useless to blindly act rashly, and the situation is more important than anything else.

Governor Taylor wants to be the governor of the three northern counties, in addition to suppressing bandits and stabilizing the place, he must also have good relations with foreign countries, otherwise the other party will create an incident for you today and an incident for you tomorrow, and you will not be able to do anything. Before coming to suppress the bandits, Collie and Taylor reached the following consensus on diplomatic issues: The sovereignty and territorial issues cannot be conceded in the slightest, but other things can be made to the other side in exchange for a peaceful environment for development, and give their side a time for obscene development.

Now that the representatives of the Kingdom of Prussia have come to persuade peace, this is not a matter of principle, isn't it just to recruit a group of bandits? There is no loss of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, since the other side is willing to do this peacemaker, then why don't you give him a favor on your side, in this way, it will help improve the relations between the two countries, and win a good development environment for the development of the northern border on your side.

Clifford knew that according to the current situation, the bandits of Zhao'an were advantageous in the overall situation, and it would help Governor Taylor to open up the diplomatic situation of the three northern counties, so although he did not receive Governor Taylor's order, he also knew that Taylor must agree in his heart.
