Chapter 405: Measure the material resources of Stormwind City and form a friendship with the country

I said...... Mr. Foding, are you sure that this contract was drafted by Li Yunfei himself? ”

After reading the contract sent by Tirio, Varian looked at the old paladin in front of him with a pained expression, "That's all that guy asks for?" ”

Tirio glanced at him and nodded expressionlessly.

Varian was confused, and he couldn't figure out Li Yunfei's purpose anymore, "That guy, the requirements are so low?" Nothing but losing money? ”

Of course, you can't say no, at least Li Yunfei mentioned a lot of things in the contract, and the complexity of the names is a headache.

It's just that in Varian's eyes, these things are nothing......

The contract, drafted by Li Yunfei, has a total of 13 articles, and the content is roughly as follows.

1. The Coalition recognizes the legitimacy of the Rebel's Wild West regime and can no longer be called a rebel.

2. Declare an end to the war. Relations between the two countries have changed from a state of war to a state of peace.

3. The Alliance opened five ports, including Stormwind, Ironforge, Minethil Harbor, Black Coast, and Nomorigen, as treaty ports (historically known as the "Five Ports of Commerce"), and allowed the Western Wilderness Resistance Army to send consuls, and allowed Western Wilderness merchants and their families to live freely.

4. Indemnity. The alliance paid 100,000 gold coins to the Western Wilderness Rebellion, of which 50,000 gold coins compensated for the loss of military expenses of the Western Wilderness Resistance during the first encirclement and suppression war, 30,000 gold coins were used as the bereavement expenses of the Western Wilderness Resistance soldiers in the encirclement and suppression war, and 20,000 gold coins were used to repay the land debt. The payment shall be made in three years, and if it is not paid on time, it shall be determined that an interest of 5 gold coins shall be added to the 100 gold coins per year.

5. Cut the land. Ceded the Twilight Forest to the Resistance, and the Alliance forces withdrew from the Wild West outpost.

6. Abolish the trade blockade imposed by the Union government against the Western Wilderness, and allow the Western Wilderness merchants to trade freely with the Alliance merchants.

7. The Coalition and the Resistance shall agree on the taxes to be paid by the merchants of the Western Wilderness for the import and export of goods.

8. Decide on the civil "litigation matters" of both parties by oral agreement. Crimes committed by rebel merchants are the responsibility of the rebels, and the alliance is not allowed to dispose of them privately.

9. Military spending on war. The two sides reached a strategic alliance to jointly send troops to Northrend in the North Pole to defeat the Lich King, but the alliance was required to pay the rebels 200,000 gold for the purchase of warships and warships.

10. Release the captives. The Coalition paid the rebels 50,000 gold as ransom money, and the rebels returned all captured Coalition soldiers to the Coalition.

11. War shall not be lightly started. From the date of signing the contract. The two sides entered a state of strategic alliance, with the conquest of the Lich King as the first priority, and their respective generals restrained their soldiers from making trouble without permission.

12. Demarcate the East Jiaomin Lane of Storm City as the embassy area of the concession, and if there is no permission, no alliance members are allowed to enter the area. The Western Wilderness can be garrisoned by troops.

13. The Church of the Light may enter the western wilderness to preach, but it is not allowed to build a church without government permission, and violators will be demolished.

In the opinion of Old Man Fordin, these terms can be said to be so harsh that they can almost be called a lion's mouth, and it is unlikely that Varian will agree to it.

It's just that unexpectedly, when Wryon read these treaties, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Li Yunfei's demands are far from touching his bottom line.

Later, Lafayette thought about it carefully, and then realized that Varian and Li Yunfei were both two people.

First of all. Although the amount of money such as military compensation that Li Yunfei asked for in the contract was an astronomical amount, it was not unaffordable for the alliance, and it was even more than enough.

And the twilight forest that Li Yunfei asked for ceded ...... Please, the Twilight Forest, though it's a vast area, isn't a good place.

As the magic of the upwind trail grows more and more poisonous, the forest grows strange. Werewolves, undead, ogres and other evil forces are entrenched here. The power of humanity has been reduced to the limit.

Coupled with the fact that the goblin forces in the south have been ready to move, coming over from time to time to fight the autumn wind, it can be said that the Twilight Forest is simply a piece of chicken ribs for the top level of the alliance.

It's a pity to discard the tasteless food.

Now that Li Yunfei wants it, then give it to him, and let him have a headache about the chaotic situation in the twilight forest. It is also possible to take advantage of the chaos in the Twilight Forest to distract the rebels. So that they can't think about targeting the alliance for the time being.

As for the opening of ports, there is nothing to lose to the Alliance, and Varian does not believe that the mud legs of the Western Wilderness can rely on capital business warfare to plunder funds in the Alliance.

As for the establishment of the concession embassy area, it is not a big deal. Even if the Wild West Resistance Army was allowed to garrison in the embassy district, would it be possible for that army of a few dozen or hundreds of people to capture the entire Stormwind City?

And what kind of armistice and the Northern Expedition united front thing is exactly what Varian desires, and there is no reason to oppose it.

Of course, when Varian. When Urian summoned the nobles to a meeting to discuss the signing of the contract, a group of nobles jumped to their feet - understandable, after all, according to the rules, the huge indemnity had to be drawn from this group of nobles.

Forget about other things, for these selfish nobles, the land is cut and they have nothing to do with it, and the opening of treaty ports has nothing to do with them, but it is absolutely unbearable to take money from them.

However, in front of the public, even if it was opposed, it was impossible to say so vulgarly, so the nobles present all jumped to their feet when they heard Varian finish saying the main content of the treaty.

"No! Absolutely not! Your Majesty, this treaty must not be signed! ”

"Compensation for land cession, loss of power and humiliation of the country, this treaty must not be signed!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! My Storm Kingdom has been founded for hundreds of years, how have I ever compromised with the rebels of the rebellious party? If we compromise one step now, the Western Wilderness rebels will go one step further in the future, and we can't retreat! ”

"Your Majesty! I can't help it! The ancestral family law cannot be changed! My Stormwind Kingdom has its own national conditions, how can I deign to accommodate those mud-legged people? There can be no compromise! ”

"What's more, how ridiculous is that group of mud-legged men want to cede the concession in the city and use it as an embassy area, so that the enemy's army can enter our heartland? This treaty must not be signed! ”

"You can't sign it, Your Majesty, you can't sign this treaty! If we sign it, we will become sinners of the country! ”

Facing this group of excited nobles, Varian watched everyone's reactions expressionlessly, and finally stopped his gaze on the face of Grand Duke Grayson, who had not said a word, and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on Lord Duke?" ”

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone subconsciously looked at the Grand Duke, who was rarely in the most powerful position in Stormwind City, waiting for his speech.

In full view, Grayson. Duke Shadong Brick was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Measure the material resources of Stormwind City and form a friendship with the country...... I think this treaty needs to be signed. After all, the Lich King of the North is our mortal enemy. ”

The meeting was silent for a moment, and a group of nobles looked at each other, almost thinking that they had misheard.

This kind of thing was actually said by Grand Duke Grayson, who has always been tough and hated the Wild West Rebellion? Funny, right? (To be continued......)
