Chapter 196: Shameful Negotiations

Faced with Charlie's request, Zhang Hao was directly stunned, and asked rhetorically: "Didn't you do it yourself?" "The army of more than 300,000 in Carcasson has been in two days, and there are only 150,000 left, and the 30 hours of candid video recording have scrapped more than 20 pieces of gold communication crystals, since it has already started, what else do you need us to help with? Zhang Hao's first thought was that Charlie planned to blame the empire for this matter.

"Don't kill the kind, Bretonnia can't do it without killing them now, if it weren't for bringing these people to Cologne, I wouldn't have killed them! After all, the situation in Bretonnia is really ....... now," although Charlie said that he was forced to do so, his disguise was so fake that Zhang Hao couldn't bear to demolish him.

"It's hard." The Fairy Sect of the Lake has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years, and it is not an overnight thing to remove their influence.

"That's why I'm looking for you! And I only need this time, as long as my throne is secured, I will come by myself later. ”

"Deal!" The empire doesn't need a rear with a civil war, even if there are many people who lose a lot because of the elimination of the Lake God Cult, as long as he is a monolith, then everything is worth it.

"Wait! I still have one condition! Charlie immediately wanted to put forward the second condition after seeing Zhang Hao's unification.

"One condition for one, no second!" Zhang Hao knew that Charlie didn't have much experience in politics and everything was starting from scratch, but this didn't mean that the empire needed to teach him like a child, and the empire had no obligation to do so.

"I need that treasure money from the dwarves!!" Although Zhang Hao refused, Charlie still said what he needed.

"What do you get in exchange?" How much money is left in Bretonnia? I don't know, but the empire has gained a lot from it, those people went to the empty city of Carl in the first time like the eye of the empire issued a task of stealing resources, under the slogan of rescue, countless spies with enough space items secretly looted government funds in the city, but the property of civilians was not offended, the empire sent 150,000 troops to rescue Bretonnia, as long as these troops moved, it was money, of course Carl hoped to take back some of it, Zhang Hao also raised his hands in agreement, There are too many places for the empire to use money, and taxes have been received at an all-time high.

"In the future war, the combat power of the entire Bretonnia will be given to you!" After checking the ideal, I found that there was really nothing to change.

"The combat effectiveness of the army I have cultivated with this money is definitely stronger than all your armies." Dwarves love money, and they live in the barren mountains in the south where there are many gold mines, and Bafeng Mountain was once the holy peak of dwarves, and Zhang Hao didn't dare to estimate how much wealth there was underneath.

"And what do you want?" Charlie is a little helpless, if he wants to stabilize his position, he estimates that he can't even maintain the throne for a year just by killing, rebuilding cities, rebuilding armaments, building farmland, and relying on faith without money? Ten days and half a month can be, and even if there is no rebellion in the future, the population will be transferred to the surrounding countries, and without the population, Bayinia is really powerless to recover.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said slowly: "Two conditions! ”

"Isn't it one-on-one?" Charlie's emotions fluctuated instantly, a weak country has no diplomacy, and there is no so-called fairness at all when there is a request for others, this is the reality.

"That was when you were to me, and now it's me to you!" Zhang Hao answered Charlie's questions expressionlessly, and he had no friendship in front of national interests.

Charlie looked at Zhang Hao, opened his mouth several times, and finally sighed, "Say it!" ”

"The 300,000 emperor ** team is stationed in Bretonnia, with your support, they can help you rebuild your home if conditions permit, but you still have to pay for the money." In the future, the empire expects 600,000 troops, 100,000 in Tyrells and 300,000 in Bretonnia, not to mention every year, even the gold coins that can be saved every month are astronomical.

"Three hundred thousand! That's too much, isn't it!! Now the whole of Bretonnia will not be able to recruit much more than yours!! "If Charlie hadn't been able to beat Zhang Hao, he would really have to draw his sword at this moment, this is simply an insult! The insult to Bretonnia, not to mention how much it costs, is that 300,000 troops are stationed in Bretonnia, which symbolizes that Bretonnia has lost its sovereignty, and with a single order they can even influence the change of king, what is the difference between this and becoming a vassal state.

"Excluding the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the necessary number of troops, how much labor does Bretonnia have now? Without one, who can you find to rebuild your home with those treasures? Or is it just your remaining population? How long do you plan to restore Bretonnia's former glory? Forty years or fifty years? Or a hundred years?? Being able to take out this number of people now can also guarantee that they don't have any thoughts about your throne, only the Empire. Zhang Hao saw that Charlie was in deep thought, and immediately put forward another condition. Before the end of the War with Chaos, more than five thousand military movements in Bretonnia require Imperial approval! ”

"Hahahaha, is this still my country? Do you want to annex Bretonnia? Even vampires, a real client state, don't have this condition? Yes? Do you want to use me as a puppet?!!! Charlie finally broke out his aggrieved emotions, but he was obviously still trying to restrain himself, because he knew that he was vulnerable in front of Zhang Hao, and this shame was more serious than that brought to him by the Lake God Fairy Sect, and now he regretted it, very regretful.

"Then the upper limit will be increased to 10,000, this is to ensure that you have enough combat power to enter the war before the start of the war, of course, you can not accept this reason, but to eliminate the lake god fairy, we do not have a reasonable position in Bretonnia, this matter is difficult to achieve, I can assure you, this army is only engaged in building and eliminating the influence of the lake god cult, and firmly supports your throne, and does not carry out the request of anyone other than you." Zhang Hao saw that the emotional Charlie still didn't have any expression, but instead threatened him with the Lake God Sect.

"One year!!"

"Five years."

"Two years!"

"Three years! Below this time, King Charles, please come back. ”

"Do I have any other choice?!"

"With the agricultural mechanism of Bretonnia, 300,000 people are trivial."

"Tomorrow, I hope Your Excellency will be able to personally participate in the siege of the city."

"Of course." At this time, Zhang Hao finally smiled, Charlie turned his head and walked out of the big tent after speaking, Charlie was unwilling to stay any longer even for a second. Don't look at the fact that he has already mastered an army of more than 100,000 people, that's because he made a promise that everyone can't refuse, once Charlie can't fulfill it, then these hundreds of thousands of troops will become enemies in an instant, you must know that there is also an Alboric in Bretonnia, if he wasn't taken away by Orion for treatment, Charlie would not dare to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Lake God cultists in two days.

"Your Highness, this.... Isn't it too ruthless? After Charlie left, Robert finally couldn't help but whisper to ask Zhang Hao.

"Let Your Majesty talk, and Bretonnia will really disappear. Accepting a country with its own heritage will only make the empire change from active to passive, it is enough for us to take the most benefits from it, Your Excellency Marshal, tomorrow you only need to send long-range troops to attack the city, you don't need one more, and withdraw to the empire immediately after the fight. ”

"Understood, Your Highness, please allow me to retire first." Marshal Robert is a war expert, but he is definitely not a good politician, and Bretonnia doesn't care what the future holds, but he must be in the control of the empire before the Chaos invasion.
