Chapter 112 VI Conditions of the Alliance

Pernoncal derided himself as the only puppet king in the history of the Paz Empire since the founding of the Hero King Andra Pasius. Pen? Interesting?

After quelling Rudanel's rebellion, Penoncar conferred the title of prime minister of the empire of Basbarn, the position of general was not enough, and he also canonized the generals of Basbarn, and Baibasbahn became more and more respectful and humble to the king, and the king was consulted to decide all major national affairs. On the surface, it is a scene of harmony between the monarch and the courtier, but in fact, Penoncar has no right to say no, because once Penoncar rejects Baibasbarn's proposal, then the surface of the harmony between the monarch and the minister will be torn, and Penoncar does not dare to imagine which direction things will evolve after the balance of this layer of paper paste is pierced.

From the level of governing the country, Baibasbar is indeed a great talent, and the many reform measures he proposed to Penonkar are indeed quite insightful, and the old and disadvantaged Paz Empire should also be able to gradually recover its vitality and reappear prosperous, but Penonkar just feels uncomfortable, because at that time, the person who will be remembered by the entire Paz Empire is not himself, but Basbarn. If Penoncar was a pure-hearted man, or a man who, like his father Bicarius IV, knew how to weigh the pros and cons and kept his head in obscurity, then perhaps he would have been at least a little more comforted, but Penoncar was also an ambitious man. After years of depressing princely life, the twenty-seven-year-old young king hopes to realize his great ideals and ambitions. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry and did not listen to his father's deathbed words, which resulted in a strong backlash from the magnates and ousted him from the throne, and in the process of quelling the rebellion, he was seized by Baibasbar and completely lost his power and became a puppet king.

In addition, Rudanel's death was also a strong irritation for him. Basbahn went so far as to execute his own brother Rudanel, a member of the royal family of Paz, without the king's approval. No matter how much he disguised the process, he couldn't hide the truth behind it, and Penonkar knew it but couldn't say it, so he often dreamed in his dreams of the appearance of the ten thousand horsemen who had received in place of Baibasbarn, Dadaran, and that terrible face was like a demon from hell pressing towards him step by step, and behind him was the figure of Baibasbahn floating around like a ghost. Pornoncar gradually felt that he might be the last king of Paz, and that the empire of Paz would become the empire of Badana, and the people would gradually forget about him as a king, this dynasty, and bow their knees to the man who brought prosperity to Paz. Penoncar even felt that the daily routine meeting with Basbahn to discuss state affairs was a nightmare that he had to go through.

When Basbar offered to meet with the emissary sent by the Palchi State, Penoncal hesitated for a moment before saying, "What do the Palchi State want to do when the emissary is sent?" ”

"My Majesty, Palch has come to seek an ally with my country."

"Allies?" Purnoncar's mind turned, and he said, "Could it be that Palci wants my country to attack Arubania with it?" ”

Babasbar bowed and said, "My lord is holy! The other side does have such intentions, but it would obviously be unwise for Japan to agree to do so, because Japan has just experienced civil strife and its citizens have not yet recovered from the damage of the war, and it is too early to get involved in the war. Therefore, Wechen objected, and the other side agreed to retreat, as long as our country remained neutral, did not provide any kind of assistance to Arubania, and opened the ports of Bandar Abbas and Buche as supply ports for its fleet. ”

"Open these two ports? Do you want to put their fleet in the Bay of Pass? Pennoncar's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Baibasbar would accede to such a request. After years of war with Arubania for dominance of the Bay of Pass, the two countries eventually agreed to divide the sphere of influence of the Bay of Pass, maintaining peace on a route acceptable to both sides and without interfering with each other. This means that there can be no third party involved in Pass Bay, and once a third party intervenes, this fragile balance will be upset, and the entire Pass Bay will once again become a battlefield.

"Your Majesty, Wechen knows where Your Majesty's worries are," replied Basbahn respectfully, "I beg your Majesty to believe that Wechen is not doing this without purpose, and Wechen has ascertained that Arubania's fleet in the Narrow Sea is on the verge of annihilation, and that its fleet in the Gulf of Pas is powerless to assist it." On the contrary, Palci's fleet was strong enough to wipe out the Arubanian fleet of Paz Bay in one fell swoop. On the other hand, China's fleet, because Paz has always attached more importance to land arms and neglected the construction of the sea fleet, China's fleet can only be on a par with the Arubanian fleet in terms of quantity, quality, and combat capability, and it will not be able to rise in a short period of time when the national strength is empty after the civil strife. Besides, the Prince of Palci is rumored to be a very strong man, so if we refuse Palci's request, I am afraid that he will not be discouraged from entering the Bay of Pass. At that time, our army's fleet may not be able to win the war, and not fighting will only be the same result as agreeing to its request now, but it will greatly offend the country of Palchi, so it is better to send a favor to Palchi, and let them try their best to deal with Arubania, even if they can win the battle against Arubania, they will definitely suffer heavy losses and will not be able to harass our country anymore, so this alliance can be maintained for a long time. What does Your Majesty think? ”

"Well, since you have thought so carefully, my lord, there is nothing to say about the widow. The widow will personally receive the Palci envoy and sign a contract with him. "Panouncar said this with his mouth, but in his heart he said: "You are only trying to avoid conflict with either Arubania or Palci, and you have heard that the territory of Turgi to the east of Bataana has been attacked by the Silk Kingdom and the whole territory has fallen, you are only afraid that the old nest will be lost, and you want to mobilize the power of the Paz Kingdom to the east.

Penoncal's eyes rolled and he spoke: "Brother-in-law, the state affairs are over, let's talk about family affairs." The widow and Midil haven't seen each other for several years, and you have worked hard for the widow and left the widow's sister alone in the empty house in Bataana, so when will the heir of Bataana be born? Why don't you take Midir to the city of Jekbada to live, firstly, to avoid the suffering of the widow's longing, secondly, so that you can reunite your husband and wife, and thirdly, you can give the widow a nephew, so that Bataana can have a successor, and this is not the best of all three? ”

"Your Majesty is concerned, and Weichen is grateful." Babas Bahn said. (To be continued.) )
