Chapter 525: The Empire in Action
The City of Bauhinia, United Kingdom.
The City of Bauhinia is the capital of the United Kingdom and is located in the south-central region of the country.
The City of Bauhinia, the political and economic centre of the United Kingdom, welcomes several secret guests when the Bauhinia is in full bloom.
The group of guests had come from far away from the Empire, of course, to meet the King of the United Kingdom, but unfortunately the King refused to make any contact with them.
And rightfully so.
Because the United Kingdom is now a member of the Eastern Allies, and this group of guests can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye to be the envoys of the Imperial military, before the Covenant is concluded, Vega did not dare to accept gifts from the Empire, for fear of misunderstanding other countries.
Now the covenant has been made.
If the United Kingdom official received the imperial envoy at this time, it was very likely that other countries would misunderstand it as a betrayal of the Covenant, causing the displeasure of Vega and the Duchy of Baya, and even the Freedom Alliance.
After all, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
In the City of Bauhinia, there may be spies from various countries, large and small, who are watching every one of their movements around the clock.
Therefore, for whatever reason, the King of the United Kingdom did not dare to receive the envoy.
Inside the hotel.
A colonel's staff officer looked at the person in charge of the line with some concern, and Major General Ben Gleason said: "Your Excellency, this United Kingdom has no one in its sights, and has rejected our request for a meeting. ”
"Rest easy. ”
Ben Gleason smiled and said confidently: "Our purpose kingdom also knows a little bit about this trip, they urgently need to relieve the siege of the dragon city, and we urgently need the main army to return to defense, it can be said that each takes what it needs, and it is impossible for the kingdom to refuse such a good thing." ”
"But will the kingdom betray the allies?"
"Trust my judgment. ”
Ben Gleason continued: "The Allies are not iron buckets, and the kingdom can achieve its goals while allowing our army to return to the country to resist the attacks of the dynasty and the Free Alliance, and weaken them and their strength, which is something that the kingdom likes to prejudice. ”
"I understand, Shogun. ”
When the colonel saw that the major general was determined to stay here, he stopped talking, and he only ordered the accompanying guards to strengthen their vigilance.
And it turned out that Major General Ben Gleason was absolutely right in his judgment.
The next day, a five-star admiral from the United Kingdom secretly arrived at the hotel rented by the Imperial Emissary in his private capacity.
This is indeed a cover-up by the United Kingdom.
At that time, even if it is really discovered by the Allied countries, the king can deduce that the official United Kingdom has not contacted the imperial envoy, everything is the five-star general's own opinion, and if necessary, he can even kill the "five-star general" to give an explanation to the countries, of course, it is unknown whether the dead five-star general is still the deity.
"Isn't this General Ben Gleason?"
As soon as the general of the kingdom entered the door, he said in a strange manner: "How come you have time to come to the capital of my United Kingdom as a guest? ”
"I appreciate Your Excellency's kindness, but I dare not delay it in my official business. ”
Brigadier General Ben Gleeson of the Empire said without humility or arrogance: "I won't say more nonsense, this time I came to do a win-win deal with your country, I don't know if Your Excellency is interested?"
"Ahem......"
The kingdom general coughed twice: "This time I don't represent the kingdom official, and the final agreement has nothing to do with the kingdom official, under such a premise, do you still dare to make this deal with me?"
"Hahaha, I believe in your officer's character. ”
Ben Gleason laughed, although he didn't know who the name of the general in front of him was, but he knew that this was just a pretext for the kingdom to be a bitch and set up an archway, and the person in front of him who said that he did not represent the official of the kingdom must be the spokesperson of the king.
This negotiation started quickly and ended sooner.
The empire has affection, the kingdom has intentions, and this negotiation did not take long to reach an agreement directly.
The content of the agreement was that the 800,000 main forces of the empire would return the dragon city unconditionally, and at the same time withdraw to the country through the city of Daogasili, and the kingdom would not be allowed to send troops to obstruct the withdrawal of the empire.
The Admiral of the Kingdom was very happy to reach an agreement with the Empire on this point.
Their king even began to think about what excuse to perfunctory the allies such as Vega, although this matter may not be perfunctory, but at least it should not be torn in the open.
That's right.
The United Kingdom has long forgotten Vega's advice, which can not only solve the domestic crisis, but also weaken the good things of other countries, but it is difficult to find them with lanterns, and I wonder how the kingdom can refuse in the face of such a temptation.
Of course.
This time the agreement with the empire to withdraw the army was in fact a think tank that wanted to adopt a strategy of reassuring the outside world and the interior, in their thinking, only after forcing the imperial army away could they unite with the countries to fight the strongest and powerful fist, and restore the confidence of the people with the victory of the war.
————
Dynasty, Saint Laurent.
Vega didn't know that as soon as the front foot reminded the kingdom, the back foot kingdom sold him.
Now he is chatting with two 'fairy slave girls'.
The 'elves' are a lower tribe in the Liberal League, known for their beauty in the West, and because of their scarcity and women, they are generally regarded as the best concubines by the great nobles.
The reason why it can only be regarded as a concubine is because the offspring born of each goblin race is female, and the race is also a goblin, so it is impossible to inherit the blood of men at all.
In addition, they have almost no combat effectiveness, so their status is relatively low.
After learning this, Vega continued to ask, "What are the specific large forces on the west side of the Jialan Mountain Range?"
Hesterley, a young elven girl, said, "Lord Qiqi, the biggest force in the west of the Jialan Mountains is the Freedom Alliance to which we used to be allegiant, in addition to the slightly inferior Grand Duchy de Grasse, the Federal Democratic Republic of Gavisi, and the City of Santi...... Among the 19 major countries, their national strength is almost the same, and there are 8 major countries that have established diplomatic relations with the Free Alliance. ”
"19 big countries?"
Vega gasped.
Due to the natural barrier of the Jialan Mountains that divide the east and west, coupled with the language barrier, the entire east side is not very clear about what the situation is in the west, even Vega only knows that there is a free alliance in the west that the empire fears enemies, and the rest of the information is almost equal to zero. It was as if this information had been covered up by a large invisible hand, and Vega had not been able to hear it when he was in the Empire.
So when he heard the news, Vega was really taken aback.
And he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and the originally clear battle situation seemed to be becoming more and more confusing.
