Chapter 508: The Silver-White Pact
The Grand Duke of Florence had no right to refuse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Of course, he didn't want the country he had ruled for thirty years to become a vassal or even a puppet of another country, but if he didn't do this puppet, maybe the Duchy of Florence would be a problem even if it existed.
Even if it could still exist at that time, would it still be his family who informed Florence?
It's hard, I'm afraid.
The infamy is borne by yourself. He was very old, and when he died and his son took over the country, maybe things would take a new turn.
After all, Sindelair just wants a country that has just emerged, although the momentum is very fierce, and under the rule of Dane, a king with a violent personality, he even dares to compete with the Holy Empire, the first power on the mainland. But in any case, it is not a good thing for a new country to dare to be so arrogant.
He thinks Hindlaire will pay for it. And when Sindelair could no longer exist, perhaps, his son, would be able to rebuild Florence for real.
With this in mind, the Grand Duke of Florence chose to surrender unconditionally, and on the instrument of surrender, he signed his name and stamped his seal, nailing himself to the pillar of shame of the Duchy of Florence forever.
Just for a little bit of 'hope'.
ā¦ā¦
After the news that the situation of the Duchy of Florence had been decided, the negotiations between the five countries in the silver and white capital began to gradually make some substantial progress.
This was also Dain's instruction. There was no substantial progress in the war, and there would certainly be no negotiations. Dane's idea was to talk about the situation in Florence after it was settled, so that he could get the most benefits.
The diplomatic ambassadors of Florence have been removed, the countries that have surrendered unconditionally are no longer necessary to say anything at the negotiating table, and their fate is no longer up to them.
After almost a week, the negotiations finally came to a final conclusion.
The Silver and White Pact was released.
The main content of the treaty is the following:
First, the five countries declared an armistice.
Second, the Duchy of Florence must remain independent, but at the same time it is required that the Duchy of Florence not be allowed to have its own army, whether navy or army. The Duchy of Florence was safeguarded by both Sindelair and the Holy Alliance, while economically, it had to be under the direct supervision of the Kingdom of Sindlaire.
Third, the county of Bull broke away from the Duchy of Florence, and the title of Count of Bull was retained, and at the same time accepted the canonization of King Dain and became the Marquis of the Kingdom of Sindlaire, and the County of Bull officially became an independent territory, called the Bull Princes.
Fourth, countries must recognize the status of the Kingdom of Schindlaire, and countries must recognize the internal affairs of Schindlaire, which are freely controlled by the Sindelare government, and all kinds of resources can be traded freely, but the trade situation must be regulated by the national government, and other countries must not interfere without authorization.
Fifth, a series of 'mutually beneficial' trade treaties were signed between the kingdoms of Pudri and Hindlaire. The main thing is that an official figure has been agreed on including the trading of mineral resources, raw materials, and grain. In actual trade, the proportion of the price of the transaction must not be lower than the minimum figure agreed in the agreement. It is worth mentioning that this figure is almost the market price of transactions in the center of the continent.
There are other jumble agreements, but they are not very important by and large.
The release of this agreement is indeed of great significance for the peace in the east and south of the Orodic continent. It is true that the "Silver and White Treaty" is the product of a game and compromise between countries, but it is precisely because of this that all countries have invested a lot of effort in this matter, and they are all sincere, not the kind of garbage agreement that they plan to throw away immediately after signing.
After this battle, Hindlaire needs time to lick his wounds and time to digest the spoils. After the Holy Victorian Kingdom lost half of the Victorian Knights in the southern battlefield, although they were angry, they were always facing the threat of the orc tribe to the east, and they did not have the strength to continue this war.
The Holy Prometic New Empire is huge, but they have many more enemies. The Federation of Ivers, who do not believe in gods, magic, and truth, is their eternal enemy; The ancient knightly kingdom, the Empire of Fecrosus, is a traditional ally of the Evert Federation, and on the Gold Coast, they have a direct conflict of interest with the Holy Empire. The Holy Empire also doesn't have a good relationship with the Charr, who attempted to invade the Charr just over a decade ago, but were eventually repulsed. As for the Northern Alliance, an alliance of druids, elves, dwarves, and barbarians, the so-called 'aliens', it is just as bad as the Holy Empire.
With all the enemies around, they want to continue to quarrel with the Sindelares, but after all, there are two countries in the middle, Pudri and Florence, and they can't spare much strength and energy, so they can only jump up and down during the peace talks, put pressure on the Sindlaire, and support Victoria and Pudlie.
They had a certain influence on the outcome of the Entente. For example, the large war reparations that Hindlaire demanded from Victoria and Purdri were all mixed up by the Holy Empire. Of course, in the original treaty, Purdry and Victoria also wanted to ask Sindelair for war reparations, which is of course impossible.
As for Pudri and Florence, the latter had already surrendered unconditionally, and of course it was impossible to continue fighting. The Kingdom of Pudri is also a broken bone, and more than half of the main forces of the combined fleet that was wiped out by Pehin and the dragon are from Pudri. After losing such a large number of troops, the kingdom of Pudri could no longer sustain the war. You must know that between the Kingdom of Purdry and Florence, it is also a neighboring country, and if the war continues, maybe the Kingdom of Purdry will be the next Florence.
Queen Susan Bella did not want to be like the Archduke of Florence to the point of signing an unconditional surrender.
In many ways, they don't want to continue fighting, compromise with each other, and give a sincere result, this is the reality.
And the most victorious side of the war, this treaty, represented the final result, of course, in Hindlaire's favor.
The government of the Kingdom of Hindlaire, represented by Dane, is not the kind of person who will sign a treaty that is unfavorable to him after winning a war!
