Chapter 324: Three Demands from the Roman Emperor
Princess Anastasia took a deep look at Basil, the emperor of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome. Macedonia.
Anastasia looks at Basil. Macedonia's gaze was complicated, but she finally sighed to herself.
Anastasia naturally knew that if the Chinese Empire really captured the northern countries, then the Chinese Empire could really have no worries, but the premise of worrying about the future was that the Chinese Empire had completely digested the northern countries.
Just like when the Chinese Empire quickly digested Luzhou and Luozhou.
But no matter how fast the Chinese Empire digests, the Chinese Empire will have to digest it for at least two or three years, of course, this can be regarded as rapid digestion.
In the past, most countries in the world annexed or forcibly expanded their territories, and most of them could not quickly digest those lands.
Of course, there are exceptions, but after those exceptions have annexed countries or regions, after a long time, suddenly people will start to rebel against the country.
However, Luozhou and Luzhou, which were annexed by the Chinese Empire, are different, and they really identify with the Chinese Empire now.
In fact, this is not a difficult thing to say, the Huaxia Empire has food and can provide them with food and clothing, how can they go back to rebel against the Huaxia Empire.
Most of the rebels were organized by families or remnants in the annexed areas, but those families in the areas annexed by the Chinese Empire were found.
After they were annexed by the Chinese Empire, not only did their lives not get worse than before, but they now live better than before.
Compared with the past, they found that instead of resisting the Chinese Empire, it was better to live well in the Chinese Empire.
It is precisely because they have such thoughts that there is no resistance organization in the territory of the Chinese Empire today.
And the better those families live in the Chinese Empire, the less they want the Chinese Empire to fall apart suddenly.
After all, everything they get now is given by the Huaxia Empire, and if the Huaxia Empire falls apart, it is possible that their life will be even worse than before.
But even if the Chinese Empire was able to quickly digest the conquered territories, Princess Anastasia of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire still did not think that the Chinese Empire would go to war against the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
After all, even after the Chinese Empire digested the north, they still had two subordinate states in the west, one was the Kingdom of Poland, which was at war, and the other was the original Magyars who migrated to the Pannonian Plain, and now the Lizhou people.
Anastasia believes that even if the Chinese Empire wants to digest, then it must digest the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Lizhou.
In this way, it was possible for the Chinese Empire to set its sights on the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
Of course, this was only an idea of Anantasia, the princess of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome.
After Anastasia's other idea, even if the Chinese Empire wanted to conquer new countries, the Chinese Empire should first conquer the neighboring Bolgar Khanate!
It is simply impossible to look directly at the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
Between the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Chinese Empire were the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Georgia!
The Chinese Empire was only able to reach the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire by passing through the Kingdom of Bulgaria or the Kingdom of Georgia.
But Anastasia didn't think that the Chinese Empire would annex the Kingdom of Georgia and then reach the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and then annex the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
If the Chinese Empire did this, the Khazar Khanate would not want to see this, if nothing else.
After all, the Kingdom of Georgia bordered the Chinese Empire with the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Khazar Khanate (Khazar Empire).
If the Chinese Empire annexed the Kingdom of Georgia, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Khazar Khanate could join forces to attack the Chinese Empire!
The simplest reason why the Kingdom of Georgia can exist without being invaded is that the Kingdom of Georgia is a buffer zone between the Chinese Empire, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Khazar Khanate!
None of the three countries wants a direct border conflict with each other, which is not in the interests of the three countries.
Of course, a small part of Taozhou in the Chinese Empire bordered the Khazar Khanate.
However, this small part of the territory bordering the Chinese Empire and the Khazar Khanate is said to be bordering, but in fact there is a river between them.
A small part of the territory that the Chinese Empire had acquired was completely bordered by the Khazar Khanate on the other side of the river.
Therefore, Gao Yang Yajun, the holy son of the Chinese Empire, directly returned that territory to the Khazar Khanate, and then the two countries divided the river and ruled it.
But now Princess Anastasia sees her father, Basil. When Macedonia looked at her so resolutely, she knew she couldn't stop it.
Just when Anastasia was thinking about everything, the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia spoke.
"I accept the proposal of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate for a military offensive and defensive alliance, but I have three demands, if you can't accept these three demands, please go back!"
Hear Basil. Macedon's words, the envoy of the Cuman Khanate looked happy, and he happily glanced at the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate.
However, the emissary of the Bolgar Khanate did not have much joy, for he knew that although the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of the Eastern Roman Empire, Basil. Macedonia said he accepted the covenant.
But the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome also said that he had three requirements, and the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate knew that these three requirements must be very excessive, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome would not have said it so solemnly and directly.
However, the envoys of the Bolgar Khanate also knew that they could not delay any longer, in case the emperor of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire changed his mind or the Chinese Empire took one more place in the north, which would be detrimental to his own Bolgar Khanate.
Therefore, the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate had to squeeze out a smile and salute the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire and asked, "I don't know what you want from the venerable Roman Emperor?" We, the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate, will try our best to satisfy you. ”
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia was very satisfied with the envoy from the Bolgar Khanate, and he thought that the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate was very knowledgeable.
It was also because of the interest of the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate that the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome, Basil. Macedonia opened his mouth and said, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable! In that case, then I won't embarrass you.
Originally, I had three requirements in my heart, and the first one was that I wanted you to send troops to attack the Huaxia Empire first.
When the Chinese Empire is entangled by you, I will take the opportunity to send troops to attack the unprepared Chinese Empire.
And my second request is that I hope that when the three of us meet, the armies of your Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate will be the vanguard of our Roman Empire.
You are responsible for scouting the army of the Huaxia Empire, and after meeting the Huaxia Emperor ** team, you are responsible for entangling the Huaxia Emperor ** team.
If we are unable to defeat the army of the Chinese Empire and want to carry out a strategic retreat, you will be responsible for holding back the army of the Chinese Empire. ”
