Chapter 52: The Covenant Is Made
When Guo Wu, Fu Tianlou, and Ah Heng were still training in the ice field, Wolf City had once again become the existence of the mainland's attention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the summer of 798 in the Guangming calendar, with the arrival of Admiral Berlu, in the northern frontier of the human empire, the Divine Republic and the Guangming Dynasty held a historic meeting, the main content of which was to discuss the positioning and development of the future relations between the two countries, which was also an extension of the upcoming expiration of the Eagle Stone Treaty. This time, the alliance also invited the orc kingdom, but the other party was not interested, so he only appointed the consul in Wolf City to participate in the negotiations. In view of this, the Governor of Northern Xinjiang specially arranged for a special person to negotiate with the consul, and the place was in the concierge of the Governor's Palace, and the main content was the weather and women.
For the high-level visiting undead tribes, the Bright Dynasty paid full attention to them. Present were: General Bolu, the governor of the Central Military Region and also the emperor of the army, and General Guo Zizhong, the governor of Northern Xinjiang of the Megatron Continent and the hereditary Duke of Wolftown. The Imperial Inspectorate and the Wolf City Inspector Liu Jiye participated in the talks as an observer.
On the side of the tribe of the undead were the second-ranking decision patriarch of the Senate of the God-given Republic, the supreme one who charmed the Protoss, and the eighth rank of the Knights of the Templars, the eldest son of the Berserk Protoss, Dekun. As true Protoss, the two of them have a very high status in the God-given Republic, and they are by no means comparable to the ordinary members of the Senate.
Although this meeting was vigorous, there were really not many highlights, because in the face of the continent's number one military power, the increasingly aggressive orc kingdom, the Bright Dynasty and the God-given Republic did not have much choice. These two continental powers, which advertise civilization, are increasingly feeling the threat from the orc kingdom on their own path of decline. It's just that compared to the wonderful performance of the God-given republic to change tricks and lose the fortunes of the country, the human empire at least seems less stupid, at least this former continent's first power still has many elite soldiers and strong generals, relying on the Great Wall, human beings can still be self-sustaining.
Therefore, there is not much room left for the God-given Republic and the Elder of Loth, because the war-wrenching Orc Kingdom cannot give the God the things needed for the Republic, and she can only choose the Human Empire to form an alliance. However, in the face of a strong human negotiator, Loth has a deep sense of powerlessness. Therefore, when she saw Liu Jiye's nonchalant smile, even though she knew that the other party's so-called cooperation might be a pit, she decided to jump in. If her efforts can bury the Bright Dynasty together, she will be happy.
After nearly 10 days of arduous talks, the two sides finally made a breakthrough. The Bright Dynasty was willing to provide three billion Bright Coins in economic aid to the God-given Republic, and removed several strategic items such as pig iron from the trade ban list. Of course, this cancellation is conditional, according to Guo Zizhong's suggestion, the quota of pig iron trade cannot exceed 50,000 catties, which is probably enough for a 10,000-strong infantry corps. Correspondingly, the obligations of the Divinity republic included the reduction of the garrison south of Yinshan from 100,000 to 20,000, and the increase in the quota of southern tribe members in the Senate from the current 10 to 20, equivalent to two-fifths of the seats in the entire Senate.
For the second point, Patriarch Luo Si expressed strong dissatisfaction on the spot, because this is a naked interference in the internal affairs of the God-given republic, if it is signed, she will definitely bear the infamy of losing power and humiliating the country, this is by no means an equal covenant. She understands that the Human Empire is trying to take advantage of its own internal strife to further weaken the power of the God-given Republic. She can imagine that once the mud legs of the southern tribes who have been crowned by monkeys enter the temple, they will become the greatest centrifugal force given to the republic by God.
Regarding Elder Luoth's righteous remarks, Admiral Bolu looked helplessly at Guo Zizhong, the initiator, after all, it was this bastard boy who put forward the idea of increasing the quota of the southern tribes. It is conceivable that it is impossible for any politician with a bit of a brain to agree to such a thing. Sure enough, now that the dispute was over, Burlu had no choice but to propose a temporary adjournment.
In the lounge of the Guangming Dynasty, Bo Lu smiled bitterly and poked Guo Zizhong, who looked rogue: "Boy, what should I do, make such an unreliable suggestion, wait for others to slap your face!"
"Teacher, don't worry!" Guo Zizhong glanced at Liu Jiye, and the other party walked out of the door very consciously, obviously Liu Jiye also knew that he was an unpopular person here. If there is only Guo Zizhong, he is not afraid to break his wrists with the other party. But coupled with the highly respected Admiral Berlu, he naturally did not want to be bored. And his battlefield is not at this negotiating table at all.
Guo Zizhong saw Liu Jiye leave, and then continued: "Teacher, you may not know the current situation of the undead tribe, the economic collapse is one aspect of the decline of the undead tribe, and their bigger problem is that in the Senate, the republicans like Roth are still facing the challenge of the increasingly large and ambitious Twilight clan, and now they are also trying their best to win over the southern tribes, but not much progress.
At this time, if we give the southern tribes a boost, the Senate will inevitably fall into the quagmire of decision-making. More importantly, whether this matter is successful or not, as long as we build up the momentum, it will benefit us and do no harm. If it does, it will be enough to make the short-sighted senators more hostile to the southern tribes, and if it doesn't, it will also encourage the southern tribes to become more centrifuged, even to the Twilight clan. What's more, we have helped the southern tribes today, and there will be an additional group of senators in the Senate who have good intentions towards us, so why not do it. ”
"You boy, you've grown!" said Admiral Burru, laughing, "but it's not easy to do,"
"Teacher, you're overcomplicating things. The reason why the girls in Qifenglou didn't take off their pants was just because they didn't have enough money. I plan to increase the economic aid of another two billion, and I believe that the elder of Rose should also fall. After all, the situation of the undead tribe is there, not to mention starvation, at least it is full of devastation. ”
Admiral Bolu pointed at Guo Zizhong and scolded with a smile: "You rogue boy! ”
"How much difference is there, if you want me to say that politicians are worse than prostitutes, other girls take money to do things, at least they won't stab them in the back. ”
"You, you!" Boru was also helpless against this rogue disciple.
Returning to the conference room again, hearing that the amount of aid had been raised to five billion bright coins, Elder Luo Si directly closed his mouth. However, she only cautiously expressed her principled approval, but she did not have the right to call the shots. She made it clear that the matter needed to be voted on by the Senate. Although Luo Si said this, he actually expected it in his heart: Hawkins will definitely promote the passage of this matter, because the **** of many years has already devastated the God-given Republic, and with five billion funds, many projects that cannot be started can be continued, and the Senate can breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Even if he knew it was to quench his thirst, Hawkins would swallow it.
In the end, after a painstaking bargain, the Bright Dynasty promised that in addition to providing the above funds, it would also assist the gods to give the republic 300,000 catties of grain.
As for the final outcome of the negotiations, both Admiral Bolu and Admiral Guo Zizhong were very satisfied. They understood that although for the God-given republic, it seemed to quench the thirst of the near-term, but it buried deep worries, and for the human empire, it had gained many long-term benefits, on the one hand, the use of currency to further control the economy of the God-given republic and destroy the weak industrial base of the other side, and on the other hand, the disarmament of the God-given republic would greatly reduce the pressure on the northern frontier and provide a strategic advantage for possible future wars.
It can be said that the two sides of this negotiation are called allies, but in fact, for the Bright Dynasty, they just took the opportunity to accept a little brother. As the overlord of the continent thousands of years ago, the current ice field undead are actually declining, which is inevitably embarrassing. In this regard, Admiral Bolu privately sighed: The defeat of the undead lies in the calamity of Xiao Wall, and if my Bright Dynasty mourns it and does not learn from it, it will inevitably follow in its footsteps, but these words can only be discussed privately with Guo Zizhong.
The next thing is very simple, Elder Loth will stay in the wolf city to wait for feedback from the Senate, and Admiral Berlu will also report the progress of the negotiations and the final results to the court in a timely manner. In Admiral Berru's opinion, it is impossible for His Majesty, who has long been distracted from political affairs, to raise any objections. And the Minister of State, the Chief Scholar Rogin, will only please His Majesty, and has always been obedient to His Majesty, let alone openly oppose this covenant that obviously has long-term significance for the Empire.
In the eyes of all, this covenant is a sure thing, and it is waiting for the final signature.
