Chapter 237: An ultimatum without deterrence

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you also know that our Nanyang Alliance is composed of five countries and seven city-states, and I myself am just an ordinary member of the Alliance Council, although I am very angry about this matter, but because of my own limited strength, I really can't help it!"

"However, I can assure you that tomorrow we will meet in the Siam Parliament to discuss this matter, and I will do my best to convince my colleagues that they agree to propose a proposal to the Union Parliament in the name of the Siam Parliament, so that the Alliance can unite other countries to exert pressure on the Machihans, and hopefully a satisfactory result." Xihe's attitude is very sincere, but his words reveal the meaning of powerlessness.

Sophia also knew that this was just a scene, and with the current strength of the Nanyang Alliance, if she wanted to take any substantive moves against the Macherian Khanate, it would probably be difficult to get a pass in the Union Parliament. As for the surrounding other countries, except for the Great Qin Empire and the Kingdom of Milan, which can have some influence, other countries may be asking for more blessings than silence.

But she still politely expressed her gratitude, no matter what, at least people verbally expressed their support for their country, but they should also be mentally prepared, and they should also make up their minds about where to go.

"I will always remember the help I gave to Mr. Nishihe, but my mind is very messed up this time, and I want to take a good rest." Sophia politely issued an eviction order.

"It's okay, Her Royal Highness the princess really needs to rest and rest, and Xirua and I will retire first."

Xihe ignored the extremely reluctant eyes of his son beside him, bowed politely and beckoned Xilua to leave.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Sophia couldn't help but feel sad, she suddenly changed from a princess who was above 10,000 people under one person to a person who died in a country, and she was in a foreign land but there was no intimate person. Now she is going to send someone under the fence, and thinking of this, Sophia can't help but burst into tears.

After a while, Sophia collected her thoughts and put her mind on what she would do in the future. She was originally a woman with a strong personality, and she was in the royal family. Since childhood, he has been fond of traveling, at the age of seventeen, he has traveled all over the Eastern Continent, and he wanted to have the opportunity to travel to the Central and Western Continents again, but now, the country is ruined, and he not only has to live independently, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of recovering the country.

Now the Mache Khanates must find themselves by all means, although the relations between the Nanyang Alliance and the Mache Khanate are not harmonious. However, due to the great interests of the two sides, especially in the economy and commerce, no one can say whether these people will sell themselves for the interests of their respective countries, and it seems that they still have to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

But where is your next stop? The strength of the surrounding countries was far inferior to that of the Macede Khanate, except for the Kingdom of Milan and the Great Qin Empire. Yes, I went to the Great Qin Empire, but my close friend Zhao Zirou was also the princess of the Great Qin Empire. Maybe she can think of something for herself, come up with some ideas. Sophia stood in front of the window, staring at the clouds floating in the sky outside the window, and secretly made up her mind.

"Father, how can you let her go like this?" Sirua could no longer hold back the resentment in his heart and lost his temper with his father.

Xihe's face turned stern, and he stared at his unassuming son viciously, but Xirua still looked annoyed.

"What? Can we still force her to stay? What reason do we have, what authority do we have to keep her? What's more, we are not the only ones who know that she is a guest with us. And many people also know that when something goes wrong, we will be very passive. Holding back the anger in his heart, Xihe patiently persuaded his only son.

"But her kingdom of Jemerlot is gone, and even if we leave her behind, no one will stand up for her. You know how much I like her. Sirua gradually revealed his true face.

"What do you like? What girl doesn't feel fresh before you get your hands on it? She's just an extra princess. Xihe obviously knows his son very well.

"Father, that's different, Sophia is so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful girl, I'm going to get her anyway, you must help me." Sirua is still unrelenting.

Xihe also has no way to take his only son, "I didn't say that I won't let you pursue her, now there is a re-election for the speaker of the parliament, as long as I can defeat this old guy Sutu and become the speaker, what women are not everything." But now we're going to be careful not to get caught by others, so you'll have to be honest with me. ”

Although Sirua is a gentleman, he also knows that his father's election is a major event related to the fate of his family, and he can't be negligent at all, but he is still a little unwilling, "But when you succeed in your election, Sophia doesn't know where to go!" ”

Xihe sighed, "Do you have to have that girl?" There are many beautiful girls in the world, and that girl is born with a foxy smell, which you may not be able to afford. I don't think she's for you. Xihe recalled the first time he saw the girl, and he also secretly felt excited, and even felt that he was not suitable for this straw bale son.

"Father, no, if you don't promise to help me today, I won't leave." When Sirua heard that his father did not approve, he immediately became anxious.

"Well, then you don't have to hurry. Princess Sophia's current idea is to hope that the neighboring country can send troops or other means to restore the country for her, but which one of the neighboring countries has the ability? Milan is counted as one, but if you want to challenge the Macedian Khanate alone, it is still a little short; We in the Nanyang Alliance also have a certain right to speak, but the unity within the alliance will be greatly reduced; The only thing that only the Great Qin Empire can influence the actions of the Maqi Khans alone, but the Great Qin Empire has too many problems of its own, and the interests involved are not very large, so it is too difficult to do the work of the Great Qin people. Xiyi said, and he was also thinking.

"I don't care about that, I just want Sophia."

Sirua had no interest in his father's analysis, and he just wanted to get Princess Sophia as soon as possible.

"Not now, but when she goes to various countries and hits a wall, she will naturally think of us. When the time comes, maybe you will have a chance. Xihe smiled bitterly and comforted Xilua.

……

With a look of unfinished expression on his face, Bi Xili was sitting on the main seat, and couldn't help but savor the battle report sent from the front again. In fact, he had read this battle report several times a few days ago, but the joy of victory was really intoxicating, and he wanted to experience this atmosphere a few more times.

Lei Juetian, who was sitting on the side, also showed a rare expression of satisfaction on his face, "The two generals have completed this operation quite beautifully, and our losses are small. The Great Khan's funeral of Mantnes II is also wonderful, at least superficially to save some morality for our military operations. Now that the two terrains of Ankun City and the Kingdom of Jemelot have basically stabilized, the discipline of the two generals has also been carried out quite well, and there has been no disturbance to the people, which is very beneficial to us. I think the Great Khan will be able to declare these two places as my territory after a while, and a new state can be created. ”

"Huh? Juetian, isn't there still Yuejing Kingdom? Now we can take advantage of the victory to return to the division to destroy the Yuejing Kingdom in one fell swoop, anyway, these two countries have been stabilized, and this is also your original plan. ”

When Bi Xili heard Lei Juetian's meaning, he seemed to want to stop the army. Some are unwilling, "The women of Yuejing Kingdom have white and delicate skin, and their personalities are docile and soft, comparable to the women of Jiangnan in the Great Qin Empire, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time." ”

"Yuejing is already in the bag, and it is not too long or late."

Lei Juetian shook his head confidently, and his face became stern, "But now the Milanese are already preparing for war." Moreover, he has frequent contact with the Great Qin Empire and wants to join forces against us. This situation should also be taken seriously. ”

"Damn Milanese dogs, they're pulling our hind legs again, and one day I'm going to trample them under our feet." Bi Xili gritted his teeth and scolded, "But we still have 200,000 troops in our country, and we should be able to deal with the enemy's attack, right?" ”

"The provocation of the Milanese is nothing, what I am worried about is the reaction of the Great Qin people. The more than 600,000 troops of their southern military region were originally used to deal with us, and according to the current situation, although they have mobilized for war, I estimate that they still have many concerns about actually sending troops, and I don't think there is a need to provoke the Great Qin people for the time being. ”

"I carefully studied the wording of the ultimatum sent by the Great Qin envoy. They simply demanded that we immediately cease military operations and called on us to withdraw our troops from the occupied territories. These two sentences are very artistic, and the Great Qin people also know that we will definitely not withdraw from the occupied areas, and they are not sure if we have other goals, so their ultimatum is only that we must stop new operations, and as for the withdrawal of troops, it is an appeal, and the tone is much more relaxed. ”

After thinking for a while, Lei Juetian continued: "We can put on the appearance of attacking the Yuejing Kingdom, and at the same time negotiate with the Great Qin people immediately, their diplomatic mission is coming soon, so that we can avoid the risk of becoming enemies of the Great Qin people and the Milan people at the same time." Without the support of the Great Qin Empire, the Milanese are just a piece of cake, if they dare to come, they can't come and go, I believe they don't have the guts. ”

"Putting on the appearance of attacking Yuejing is probably to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations, Juetian, you are really scheming." Bi Xili laughed wickedly, "It seems that my dream of becoming a woman in Yuejing will have to wait for a while." ”

"Yuejing must be obtained, its geographical location is too important, and the grain production is not small, take it, we can overlook the southern passage of the Eastern Continent land, and even the southern coastal countries, and it is not very far from the mouth of the sea that we dream of, but it is not allowed at present, but as long as we use the two pieces of land obtained in this war now to accelerate the development of the economy and further enhance our economic and military strength, it will be easy to take the Yuejing Kingdom at that time."

Bi Xili laughed, "However, I would like to tell SΓΉ Mingzhong to order the army to raise the state of alert, just in case." In addition, he ordered Ya Ning and Pu Tiancheng to step up propaganda and education in military discipline, maintain the achievements made in the early stage, and ask them to understand this issue from a strategic height, and absolutely not to have incidents that damage the image of the army. Bi Xili and Lei Juetian have the same deep understanding of this issue.

Lei Juetian admired his Great Khan for never being ambiguous in major matters, and nodded approvingly, "My subordinates will arrange it immediately." (To be continued......)
