Chapter 479: Negotiations Break Down
In the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was calm.
The negotiations have been going on for a while, and because the opinions of the two sides are too different, they have not been able to reach a consensus for a long time, and Qin Feng on the throne has a faint look of impatience in his eyes.
“…… Your Majesty, our request has been very generous,"
The messenger of the Church of the God of War said gloomily: "Unconditionally release His Highness the Holy Son Loki, as well as all the other captured high-ranking clergy, as well as all the captured warriors of the Troophar Legion; pay war reparations of 300,000 magic crystals; All temples, properties, shops, and other property of the Church in the territory of the empire must be protected and no one should be allowed to encroach upon them; In the future, our clergy can freely spread their faith and absorb believers within the empire, and the imperial government must not stop it! ”
"And I personally suggest that Your Majesty, it is best to convert to the faith of the Great God of War, so that your empire will have the possibility of being passed on for a long time......"
There are more than 30 clauses in total, and it can be said that the words are full of arrogance, with a high-minded and invincible arrogance. If we don't consider the actual situation, just look at the content of this peace treaty, as if the Church of the God of War is the victorious party.
Qin Feng said coldly: "Your Excellency Sporin, you are also a high-level member of the God of War Church, do you think that you, who have just experienced a fiasco, are still qualified to put forward such conditions?" Who gave you courage? ”
Cardinal Sporin laughed and said, "You are lucky enough to win a game, but it doesn't mean anything. The Church of the Great God of War, as well as the true strength and heritage of the Nopton Empire, far beyond your country, not to mention that you have only been an emperor for a few years, even if you have a force like the Grossas Dragon Empire, you should remain humble enough in the face of the great God of War! ”
Qin Feng sneered: "Since this is the case, then I might as well fight with you a few more times to see how much of your family wealth can be used to consume." ”
Sporin's face was arrogant that couldn't be concealed: "Qin Feng, don't think that you are really powerful, our church is here to talk to you with good intentions, otherwise you think you can still stay on that throne until now?" ”
"I might as well tell you, even if your army wins eight out of ten, it's not worth mentioning, and as long as you lose once, you will die and the country will be destroyed, and even the people around you will not be spared!"
Standing in the position of the God of War Church, it is an extremely shameful thing to sit down and negotiate with an upstart emperor, and it is extremely generous to only put forward such a few conditions, giving this Qin Feng a lot of face, how dare he be so uninteresting? Such a rebellious and impudent?
In the original assumption of the church's higher-ups, the Broman Empire was already a country of faith exclusive to the great god of war, and with such a large diocese and hundreds of millions of believers all of a sudden, the great god of war would definitely not hesitate to send down rich divine rewards. For this reason, this group of gods has even discussed the attribution of credit and the division of various interests afterwards.
Unexpectedly, those princes were all wastes that couldn't support the wall in the mud, wasting so many resources and military strength of the church, and even the seven holy war angels and the incarnation of the god of war were overshadowed, but they still lost a single defeat, which really made the entire church high-level disgraced.
Upon learning of the defeat, the enraged Pope smashed his dormitory to pieces that night, and tortured several of his favorite concubines to death.
Moreover, Qin Feng's next marriage to Brünnhilde and his appointment as empress, as well as a series of subsequent measures, blocked the possibility of other forces continuing to meddle in the affairs of the empire from the political level.
With both military and political means ineffective, the top brass of the Church of the God of War reluctantly began to consider the option of peace negotiations. And make up your mind that what you can't get on the battlefield must be taken back from the negotiating table.
Qin Feng's expression calmed down abruptly: "In that case, I don't think there is any need to waste time between us, Your Excellency, please go back." ”
The God of War Church and the Nopton Empire are indeed two behemoths in the Xingmeng world, or the two are one, after all, they are **** countries, and the church and the empire are two sides of the same coin.
However, even if it is the largest empire in the camp of human civilization, it does not mean that it is invincible, and the forces that can balance it still exist.
Even if it was just the power that Qin Feng currently possessed, it was enough to destroy the Nopton Empire on the Qingyan Continent, as long as the ten nuclear submarines in the deep ocean launched all the missiles they carried, it was enough to turn the entire empire into a sea of purgatory fire in half an hour.
Of course, this is the last hole card, and it is impossible to use it easily until the desperate moment.
Sporin stared at him with vicious and resentful eyes, and said, "In three months at most, the church will be able to organize millions of elite legions to cross the sea and wage a holy war!" At that time, you heretics will all be burned at the stake, and even the Magic Guild will not be able to protect you! ”
"I'm here for you." Qin Feng said indifferently.
Millions of troops? It sounds scary, but what is it to him?
In the Overworld. In the early fifties of the last century, China, which had not been established for a long time, was able to defeat the so-called United Nations army without temper and confront the entire Western world with the strength of a poor and weak country.
But even so, the top level of the United States still refuses to face up to the reality, and has an extremely arrogant, arrogant and domineering attitude in the armistice negotiations, and puts forward all kinds of unreasonable demands. As a result, there are often cold scenes at the negotiation table for several hours, and the two sides do not say a word, and they face each other coldly, which can be called a strange story in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign negotiations.
In the end, the representative of the people of the United States said arrogantly: "Okay! Since we can't negotiate results here, let's let planes, artillery and machine guns negotiate! ”
However, the United Nations \ army tried all its tricks on the battlefield, but after all, it still failed to save the situation, and was firmly blocked near the 38th parallel, and could only unwillingly bow its arrogant head.
For this reason, General Clark, the commander of the Mi army, reluctantly admitted that he was the first general in the history of the Mi country to sign the armistice treaty that failed to win.
In the Xingmeng World, the strength of the God of War Church is equivalent to the peak of the United States, but Qin Feng's Xingshan Empire is far better than that of Huaguo in the fifties of the last century, so when the two sides really fight, Qin Feng has no reason to be afraid of each other.
In this way, the angry Sporin could only grit his teeth and brush his sleeves away.
Qin Feng on the throne pondered for a long time, and ordered: "Let's all go down and let me be quiet." ”
The courtiers and maids on the left and right saluted and withdrew, and the hall was completely silent.
Qin Feng sighed secretly, he didn't want to tear his face with a behemoth like the God of War Church too early, but the development of things is not transferred by his own will, it seems that his follow-up development plan must be adjusted,
In the depths of consciousness, a prompt from the starship hub quietly emerged: "Epic Mission: King's Journey." In the third stage, defeat the main force of the coalition of the Great Prince Berusta, the Fourth Prince Mochi, and the Fifth Princess Brunhilde, and thwart the Church of the God of War's attempt to intervene by force, and kill the God of War incarnation. Mission reward: 25 million. It's done. ”
"Epic Quest: King's Journey. In the fourth stage, occupy the entire territory of the Broman Empire, completely incorporate it into the territory of the Star Shanian Empire, and merge the two empires into one. Mission reward: 35 million. It's done. ”
For the first time, the available world origin value in the Starship Hub exceeded 100 million, reaching more than 130 million, which can fully meet the needs of this stage.
The melodious jingle sound of rings came from far and near, Qin Feng opened his eyes, and saw a bright yellow splendid dress, a bright and beautiful queen coming in, her hair was like a cloud, her smile was gentle, and her plump and graceful posture carried a fatal temptation.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Feng exhaled lightly, his brows soothing.
"Your Majesty,"
Brunhilde sat sideways into his arms, wrapped his jade arm around his neck and said softly, "Even if the negotiation breaks up unhappily, it won't be so sullen, right?" It's a big deal to fight them a few more times. ”
The black and white beautiful eyes stared at him fixedly, standing on her own position, this young man's generous attitude towards the people of the empire made it difficult for her to be disgusted, and being able to become his queen was already the best ending she could get now.
If there is still some helplessness in his heart to bow to reality, but after sharing some of Qin Feng's secrets, Brunhilde no longer has any resentment, and being able to follow a genuine god to achieve immortal greatness is not an opportunity that anyone can have.
Qin Feng said: "It's not that I'm afraid of war, but I don't want this day to come too early, originally I wanted to unify the Xingmeng Continent first, and then think about dealing with that group of divine sticks." ”
With the strength of the God of War Church, it is not bragging to recruit millions of troops in three months, of course, it will not be so easy for them to launch a holy war, after all, there is an ocean of thousands of kilometers between the Qingyan Continent and the Xingmeng Continent. As long as Qin Feng carefully arranges it, when their fleet crosses the sea, it will have to lose most of it at sea!
Brünnhilde said, "Now that there is no room for manoeuvre, let the whole country prepare for war?" The empire is not short of magic crystals, you might as well spend a lot of money to hire those well-known organizations in the dark world, and ask them to send enough strong people to assassinate the high-level clergy, high-ranking generals, and feudal officials of the God of War Church on a large scale, and they can also attack and destroy their important shrines, material gathering places, and transportation hubs, as long as they can cause them enough losses, our pressure on the battlefield will be much less in the future. ”
Qin Feng smiled and hugged her and kissed her, and said with satisfaction: "It's very much to my liking, so it's decided, and my incarnation will be dispatched in person, and they must not be allowed to prepare for war calmly." ”
A few days later, the high-level leaders of the God of War Church unsurprisingly openly announced: Qin Feng and the Xingshan Empire are heretics to blaspheme the great God of War, and the Church, as well as the Nopton Empire and the Martial Saint Guild, will form a huge holy war legion, vowing to completely destroy this evil empire and restore the international peace order and power balance of the Xingmeng Continent.
After the official edict of the Pope, the war machine of this vast empire was completely mobilized, a large number of young people of appropriate age were conscripted into the army, arsenals were opened one after another, a large number of sophisticated swords and armor were sent to the soldiers, and a large number of logistical baggage materials were shipped from all over the empire, gathering at many ports along the west coast of the empire.
In just over a month, the Church and the Empire have requisitioned nearly 10,000 large ocean-going ships, which, together with the Empire's astonishing naval fleet, are enough to cross more than three million troops and their logistical baggage across the vast sea to the southeast coastal ports of the Star Fir Empire.
At the same time, more than 20 large chambers of commerce, banks, and independent nobles that are close to the Church of the God of War announced joint sanctions against the Xingshan Empire, and from now on, they will no longer sell any goods and technologies to this country, whether military or civilian.
It's just that there are twenty-nine continents in the Xingmeng World, and there are so many forces and organizations, not to mention those powerful alien races, that is, in the human civilization camp, there are not a few forces that don't care about the God of War Church, so this kind of sanction has no impact on the Xingshan Empire, and their vacated trade share was quickly divided up by other chambers of commerce.
