Chapter 329: The Goddaughter of the Roman Emperor
The emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome also did not care how the envoys of the Bolgar Khanate and the envoys of the Cumen Khanate negotiated.
He turned his head sideways, looked at his daughter Anastasia with a smile on his face, and said:
"Anastasia, I don't understand why the two originally hostile countries of the Cuman Khanate and the Bolgar Khanate are suddenly so friendly, right?"
Princess Anastasia vs. Basil. Macedonia shook his head and said, "That's right, my daughter really doesn't know why a country like theirs, which has been enmity for generations, is united, and so close, like an old friend." ”
"Hehehe, hehehe!"
Basil. Macedonia heard Anastasia's innocent words, and he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Anastasia, today I will tell you one thing, there has never been pure friendship and hatred between nations."
Princess Anastasia seemed to understand something, but she didn't understand everything, and Anastasia tilted her head to look at Basil. Macedonia.
Basil. When Macedonia saw his daughter's appearance, he knew that Anastasia should have understood something, but Anastasia still didn't immediately mean what her words meant.
Basil. Macedonia patiently looked at Anastasia and asked:
"Anastasia, I ask you one thing, what do you think is the most important factor in maintaining friendship between nations?"
Anastasia hears Basil. Macedonia's problems when she seemed to be aware of Basil. Macedonian meaning.
But Anastasia was unwilling to accept this fact in her heart, and Anastasia finally had to shake her head and wave her hand:
"The father and the daughter don't know why, but the daughter thinks that as long as the country can bring benefits to each other and have a common purpose, then they can become allies."
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia looked deeply at his daughter, Anastasia.
Basil. Macedonia actually knew that Anastasia had understood what he meant, but Anastasia was unwilling to accept this fact.
Basil. Macedonia doesn't want its daughter to remain in this state of reluctance to believe the facts.
Basil. Macedonia looked at Anastasia deeply and said, "Anastasia, do you really not know why?" ”
Anastasia's cheeks stiffened with a smile, she shook her head and said, "Father, the daughter really doesn't know why. ”
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia smiled and said bluntly: "Hehe, Anastasia, since you don't know, then I'll tell you!" There is no pure friendship between nations.
As long as there are interests between countries, then they will become allies, and as long as the other side harms our interests, then both sides are enemies.
Just like the Chinese Empire and our Roman Empire, our Roman Empire and the Chinese Empire were mutually beneficial, so we were allies.
And now the Chinese Empire's conquest of the northern states has harmed the interests of our Roman Empire, so the Chinese Empire and us are about to become enemies. ”
Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia pointed to the envoys of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate, who were discussing something not far away, and said:
And they were the same between the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate. At that time, because the territory of the Bolgar Khanate was rich, the Cuman Khanate would launch a war against the Bolgar Khanate.
And they are fighting, and both of them are about to forget why they are fighting each other, they are already feuding.
But because the two countries felt threatened by the expansion of the Chinese Empire, the two countries formed an alliance.
Don't look at the fact that the two countries are so close, as long as the Huaxia Empire is defeated, the two countries will start to fight each other again.
Because there is a blood feud between them! Unless they can endure the war and last for about a hundred years, there will be no peace between the two countries at all.
But as long as there is mutual interest, it is possible that they will form an alliance again to attack certain countries, Anastasia, do you understand? ”
After listening to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. After Macedon's words, Anastasia had a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
Princess Anastasia understood her father, Basil. Macedonia's words, but she is still a little entangled, is this really the case between countries in this world?
In Basil. While Macedonia was talking to his daughter Anatasya, the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate were frowning and discussing what to do with the Byzantine Emperor Basil. Conditions in Macedonia.
The emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate were two for the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. The condition proposed by Macedonia is simply unacceptable.
The two of them were willing to accept the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. The first and third conditions put forward by Macedonia.
But it was the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire who was able to do so. Macedonia waived the third claim, which meant that the two of them had to consider the first two.
The envoy of the Cuman Khanate now also frowned and looked at the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate, and asked tentatively:
"Envoy of the Bolgar Khanate, I know that you have a quick mind and are good at speaking, so I would like to ask you if you can persuade the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome to change the request to the first and third.
As you know, the conditions put forward by the Byzantine Emperor of Eastern Rome were so excessive that even if we agreed, I am afraid that the Khan would not agree. ”
The envoy of the Bolgar Khanate glanced at Basil, the Byzantine Emperor of Eastern Rome, who was talking to his daughter. Macedonian, he frowned and nodded and said:
"Yes, even if we agree, I'm afraid our khan will not agree, after all, His Majesty the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome actually asked us to fight the vanguard and the queen, how is this possible!
But looking at the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome, he doesn't care if he can form an alliance with us at all, because if he doesn't ally with us now, there will be nothing wrong with their Roman Empire. ”
The envoy of the Bolgar Khanate patted his head and was very helpless, he was also suffering from a headache now.
He finally had to tentatively walk over to the Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonian saluted and said:
"Honorable Roman Emperor, I have consulted with the envoy of the Cuman Khanate, and I ask your Majesty if you can replace the second request with the third."
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia stared coldly at the emissary of the Bolgar Khanate, who thought that the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire would definitely disagree.
"Alright, then replace my second request with a third!"
Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia suddenly agreed to replace the second condition with the third.
