In the face of Solzhenitsyn's question, Yadwigga did not change her face.

"I don't think it's a contradiction, Solzhenitsyn." "The situation today is not so easy to explain. Neither we nor the Holy See can have a covenant between us that is permanent. But that doesn't stop us from finding our allies, and for now, the Teutonic Knights are the worst enemies we see as you. We want to regain Danzig's homeland, and you want to seize new access to the sea. Then only you and I can work together to achieve our goals, right? ”

Yadvya's words were realistic but also harsh, and in the real house, this weak woman glanced at the Rus nobles in all directions.

This is the temperament cultivated by walking on the stage of power for a long time. Even the nobles sitting on the high platform felt the difference of this young woman at this moment.

Although they had given Adevica respect and courtesy on the surface before, in the eyes of these nobles, this queen who was only in her early twenties was just a puppet pushed by the old fox of Jagieil, but now they had to look at Adevica in a different way, maybe this woman was not useless.

Solzhenitsyn sneered slightly, but there was also a hint of appreciation in his eyes, at least that calmness should not be underestimated.

"That said, but it wasn't enough to convince us." Solzhenitsyn slowly walked down the steps and looked around at the noble councillors who were looking at him, and said, "I think you should all know that although we are facing the notoriously powerful Teutonic Knights, we are not afraid. The warriors of the Rus' were not afraid to fight, and the Rhine League and the Hanseatic League stood firmly by our side. May I ask you, Your Majesty, is it necessary for us to form an alliance with Poland? The almost difficult question brought smiles to the faces of the other noble councillors.

Although it is not that they do not want to form an alliance with Poland, it is still necessary to keep the other side from getting carried away, and the reason why the alliance between the two sides has not been reached for a long time is that they are in fact completely competing for the initiative of the alliance.

The councillors whispered, after all, even if Adevica was a mother of a girl, she was just a child in their eyes. They were not worried about the failure of the negotiations, for they the Polish Covenant was not important, they only provided limited military help, which was dispensable, and Novgorod was an important Polish force in containing the Teutonic Knights. The chips are not equal, so the status of the two sides is naturally unequal.

With such a proud queen, these cunning politicians will naturally not show mercy.

It was Novgorod's intention to bring Poland to its knees, and even if it could not, to maximize its interests, and so did Poland.

However, even in the face of such difficulties, Yadwiga still did not change color. Just waiting for the whispering in the noble council to cease for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Yadvica again.

"Solzhenitsyn is right, indeed, compared with the Rhine League and the Hanseatic League, Poland is certainly far inferior in terms of economic power. The economic demands of the war led to the belief that the Rhine and Hanseatic were Novgorod's most loyal allies. But with all due respect, in fact, this is not the case, and relying on them is a greater danger to you. As soon as Yadwiga's words were spoken, there was another murmur in the chamber. This sentence was even harsher in the ears of the nobles than the previous words, and the nobles already sneered, and their eyes were also cold.

You know, the prosperity of Novgorod today is inseparable from the alliance between the two cities. It is also because of their relationship that Novgorod was able to receive weapons replenishment in the event of a land blockade. And now this Polish woman goes so far as to say that they are a threat from Novgorod! Even for the sake of being too high for Poland's status, such a joke instinctively disgusted them.

"Calm down, everyone!" Solzhenitsyn said blandly, so that the discussion was calmed down for the time being. He was also eager to hear what Ardvette would say, and he believed that this woman should not be the kind of person who would be reckless.

But at the very least, Yadwija's words must be convincing.

"By the same token, there is no difference between you and the Rhine and us and Novgorod. Although the trade routes of the East need you, they are not irreplaceable. Yadwija looked at Solzhenitsyn, who had a majestic gaze above, and said without hesitation.

"You're being alarmist!" Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an impatient councillor.

"Hauger asks you to pay attention to your words and deeds, and at least listen to Queen Ardwija's words before making your own thoughts." After Solzhenitsyn finished speaking, the old man, who was emotionally unstable and got up to scold, had to sit back in his place.

"Please continue, Your Majesty." The man gestured.

"Thank you very much for making me feel the demeanor of Novgorod." Jadwiga didn't forget to sneer at each other, and said after a pause: "Several attacks by the Teutonic Knights have had to be stopped due to the obstruction of the Free City Alliance, but the help they provide will not last. Although the Rhine Alliance has a strong independence, it is a member state of the Holy Roman Empire after all, can the seven electors really sit idly by? The Hanseatic League is looser than the Rhine League, it exists only because it is remote, and even if such an alliance can help you financially, it will not be able to alleviate the crisis for you once you encounter a tough opponent. And only Poland could pose a threat to the Teutonic Knights militarily. ”

Yadwigga glanced at the expressions of the nobles looking at her above, although not too many people expressed their opinions, but there were many more people wavering than just now. Since the Hanseatic League had economic conflicts with Poland, it was inevitable that the faction close to Hanseatic would disagree with Poland. But Yadwigga was confident enough to convince the other party.

"Moreover, now that the Holy See has launched a new round of crusades, the consequences can be imagined, although the war brings chaos, but also opportunities, and once the restrictions are lifted, trade in the East will rise again. The first to bear the brunt was the League of Cities, which had a monopoly on trade in the East. When the time comes, they will not even be able to keep their own strength, so how can they help you? ”

After speaking, Yadwiga looked at those councillors with ugly faces, and felt a little proud in their hearts, sure enough, they had long been worried about these things. As long as this is the case, Adewiga has the confidence to take the initiative into her own hands. (To be continued.) )
