Chapter 115 Asking for Help
On this day, a letter was sent from the Northwest to the Southeast. The emperor of the southeastern country www.biquge.info saw it, and planned to meet the emperor of the northeastern country. The letter reads:
Neighbors to the southeast
I am the Emperor of the Northwest Kingdom, and my handwritten letters represent my sincerity. Of course, I will not write to you for no reason, I am writing to you to talk about cooperation.
You can also see that the situation at the border is getting more and more tense now, and you may think that you are not in danger, but you do not know that you are in dire straits.
You might think that you can sell weapons to avoid joining the fray yourself, but that's completely wrong. You are now the richest of our four countries, you are not harassed by the demons, and you do not have such a harsh environment in the north, so you are naturally rich in food and clothing. But you also know what your weaknesses are.
Maybe not everyone is a robber like me, but it's hard to say then. I naturally don't have a chance to invade your country, but your neighbors can. Once the war breaks out, they will already know your wealth, and they may invade you first and take possession of all your wealth here, so that their strength will increase all at once, and it will be a matter of minutes to recover their losses.
I'll tell you all the consequences, so you don't have to imagine the picture. Noble morality is something that most people have, and everyone has the heart to make profits, so I don't need to tell you this little by little.
Maybe the other two countries will also look for you to form an alliance, and I advise you not to believe their hypocritical faces. What good will you do if you defeat me with them? You can imagine what will be left after I am defeated.
But why are you cooperating with me? Because now I am the least threat to you, our two countries have almost no border, and even if we win, I will not fight you, because I still have to deal with the demons, and you have never had to worry about this problem. And we just complement each other, I am stronger than the military and weaker than the economy, and you are stronger than the economy and weaker than the military.
If it hasn't impressed you yet, let's take a simple example, not four countries, but three countries. In ancient times, there were three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, Wei was the strongest, so the Shu-Wu alliance would be able to compete for such a long time; legend has it that there was another continent that also had such a situation, the three countries were mediocre country, my country and the big sheep country, the big sheep country is a superpower, but the other two countries have also developed with great efforts, in order to fight against the god-like big sheep country, they also choose the alliance.
Of course, the so-called alliances are based on interests, otherwise they will fall apart. You may not know what our interests are, so let me tell you in detail.
......
The emperor of the Northwest Kingdom was completely sure that the other party would come, so he didn't care about it after sending a messenger.
Sure enough, the time for sending the letter was a month fast, and the other party immediately replied, expressing his willingness to meet and talk. The emperor of the northwest country wanted to ask for others, but he didn't want to put on a low profile, so he asked the emperor of the southeast country to come over. Naturally, the emperors of the southeastern country did not agree either, so they settled on a middle ground.
Naturally, this matter cannot be known to the other two countries, so this place is very remote, but there is no war. The emperor of the southeastern kingdom traveled lightly, and only made an ordinary carriage, in which three or two high-ranking Inhumans passed through his territory to a small city not far from the border.
The emperor of the Northwest Kingdom was naturally not so worried, he himself was a stranger with a relatively high cultivation, and he only brought a personal entourage, and he passed away after a while.
There is a clear difference between the two emperors, and the clothes of the southeast country are obviously much more expensive. It is close and lightweight, and it is very comfortable. Although the clothes in the Northwest Country are not ugly, there are still some hemp components, and they are not so comfortable to wear, and they are one layer behind the other party's entourage.
The emperors of the Northwest Kingdom did not feel embarrassed, they were a fighting people, and it was useless to dress too well. The two shook hands normally when they met, and neither showed much enthusiasm.
The emperor of the southeastern country also knew the character of the emperor of the northwest country, and he did not beat around the bush and asked questions directly.
"I've heard that someone saw the demons appear on your southern border, is it true? ”
"I've investigated this matter clearly, it's the people of the demon clan who are secretly provoking us to make us infighting, and then it is taking advantage of the situation. You don't have to worry too much. As you know, this has only happened once, and since that time we have strengthened the realm, and no demon will enter so easily. If you still don't believe me, I'll give you an analysis of the doubts in this matter. This incident did not cause any damage to the southern neighbors, and if it were me, I would have to stir it up and leave. Secondly, they have no follow-up movements, which is certainly not normal as well. ”
"Just listening to your words doesn't mean that's the truth, we're not three-year-olds. ”
"If that's insincere to you, then we might as well not cooperate. Since you chose to come to me secretly, it means that you are not afraid of these things. Your coming here first means that you are not afraid that we will kill you, and you can make this letter public, and then connect it with the affairs of the demon race, saying that I have a weak heart. And then you've got two thugs hitting me. If you don't do that, that's your sincerity. When you say that, you just want to get more benefits. ”
The meeting with the Emperor of the Northwest completely changed his view of the Northwest Kingdom. In his impression, the people of the Northwest are basically vulgar, and they only know how to use force, but rarely use their minds. But the emperor of the Northwest opened the skylight and said bright words, but he didn't have much room for maneuver. It seems that fighting the demons regularly will also enrich his brain.
The emperor of the Northwest Kingdom was neither humble nor arrogant, "I also understand your psychology, but I have nothing more to give you." We are far poorer than you, and our economy has not made much progress due to constant fighting. As you know, part of our economy is also based on robbing our neighbors. So we don't have any other thoughts, what I can give you is already quite clear in the letter. ”
This is completely an attitude that if you are willing to cooperate, you will cooperate, and if you are not willing to cooperate, it will be forgotten, which makes him very helpless, and this is not the basic method of negotiation at all. But the emperor of the southeastern country was indeed moved by the contents of the letter, and he still had to endure the words.
"How do I know if I'm going to meet the demons? After those two nations are destroyed, I want the land in the east, and you want the land in the west. This is one of my requests in addition to what you have asked. ”
"You're thinking a little too far ahead, and we're not going to necessarily wipe them out, I can only guarantee that your foundation won't be affected. Now it seems that it is inevitable to start a war, and the conspiracy of the demons is also certain. When the time comes, the other two countries will definitely know about our alliance, and they will inevitably form an alliance. As long as you are willing to give us support, I promise that you can drag them down, and when the time comes, your family will be dominant, and they will definitely submit to you. Although I am equivalent to cannon fodder in doing so, I also ensure that my losses are minimized. It's a win-win, so what's there to discuss?"
"Then I won't rest assured, I can't give you what I have here for free. So be it, I'll give you a discount, I'll only give you three discounts. We must be comrades-in-arms, not brothers in the womb, and I cannot surrender my fate to you wholeheartedly. As for them, I would sell them for twice the price, but the price is the same. On the surface, I'm still neutral, but I've actually worked closely with you. They can only think that I am a black-hearted businessman, and when they beat me, I will give you all my heart. That's my bottom line. ”
The emperor of the northwest country was still defeated by the words of the emperor of the southeast country, and he had no reason to refute it. But it doesn't matter anymore, when the time comes, he'll ask me to protect him anyway, and it's only natural that I don't give money. He also knows how to make concessions, although the emperor of the southeast country has let himself spend some money, he can still accept it.
"I'm not a stumbling person. I agreed to your request. But if you ask for anything, you won't blame me for not sending guests. ”
"Well, it's a cheerful person, I agree. There is no evidence for empty words, so we can set up a note to explain the relationship when the time comes. ”
took out the pen and paper, and the two emperors danced with dragons and phoenixes, and it was completed in a short time. When leaving, the emperor of the Northwest Kingdom sent him away enthusiastically, and the scene was also very pleasant.
For the result, the emperor of the Northwest Kingdom was basically satisfied. In fact, whether there is war or not, he is just taking precautions. After all, that incident happened in my own country, and it is normal to prepare for both.
He is not afraid that the southeast country will regret it, if he repents, he will make everything public, and at the same time add fuel and vinegar, saying that the southeast country does not keep its reputation, and there will be no one to trade with the southeast country, and the southeast country will naturally beg for itself at that time.
Now that the emperor of the Northwest Kingdom has no worries, his mood is naturally relaxed. He doesn't want to delve into the affairs of the demon clan, there must be someone colluding in this matter, and he only needs to knock and knock it is enough, which shows that he is conscious, and the person who does something bad is as timid as a mouse, and he will give up collusion. And from the back signs, they did not follow up on cooperation. Now the emperor of the Northwest Kingdom is afraid that his conjecture is true, and it will not be his own disaster at that time, and the entire human territory will be in danger.
The matter went well, and neither the South-West nor the Northeast knew about it, but the emperor of the South-East was not happy. It's not because he suffered a loss in negotiations, but because fear has occupied his brain, and if the emperor of the Northwest Country doesn't say it, he doesn't know the seriousness of what follows at all.
