Chapter 348: Negotiation (2)

Carl and Rudolph also hesitated after seeing the information. www.biquge.info However, for now, Karl is more inclined to send troops.

After discussing with Rudolph, the two shared their thoughts with Aaron.

"Tell me why. Aaron asked.

Aaron was under the impression that every time Carl made his opinion clear, there would be good reason, and he believed that this time would be no exception.

"Climate. Karl said.

"Climate?" Aaron looked out the window, ice flowers had already appeared on the glass, could it be that this is the climate Carl was talking about?

Rudolph, who was sitting on one side, seemed to sound something, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "yes, how did I forget about this." Winter, yes, it's winter. ”

"Winter?" Aaron's mind also snapped back to what had happened this time last year.

When Aaron returned to Tanya from Seghat, he was blocked from shipping, and hundreds of kilometers of ice appeared on the sea, and the ship was fixed in the sea, unable to move a single bit.

If there is a large closure of the sea like last time, the Wah soldiers temporarily living in Abula will be cut off from the Wah Kingdom. Without the support of the Wah Empire, they had a chance to break through Abul.

"However, I am afraid that even so, it is still possible that I will not be able to attack Abula. And whether the sea is frozen or not depends on the weather, even if it is really closed, there are high requirements for time, we must break through Abula as soon as possible, one blow will win, once in the stalemate stage, we will become very passive. On top of that, I'm also afraid that Wilder will take the opportunity to cooperate with Wach and join forces against us. Karl looked at the handwritten copy of the contract between Wynd and Wach on the table, "It may not be comprehensive, maybe there is a rule to join forces against us in this peace agreement." ”

"In other words, the best option for us is to work with Emmanuel?" Aaron asked.

"No, the time with Emmanuel is limited to this winter. While it is possible that Waider and Wahe may have reached some cooperation, it is clearly not in Wilder's interest to enter Tanya with a large Vahe army, and their small participation in the war will not affect us much. So my guess is that the ultimate choice for Wach may be a no-brainer. Whether we work with Emmanuel or not, we don't lose. ”

"Then we just need to look at the conditions offered by Emmanuel before making a decision. Aaron picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling confident.

......

Soldiers, who were supposed to be relaxed in the winter, suddenly increased their training, especially in the snow and weight-bearing exercises. All 5,000 soldiers, carrying 30 kilograms of stones on their backs, ran around the outer city of Dahula three times a day, and when they returned to the camp they were out of breath and fell to the ground.

But that doesn't mean the training is over. After this, each man had to engage in another real fight with his brother, with the winner being given a silver coin and the loser being carried to Gallatin for treatment.

"Commander, how long will it take for such days?"

One soldier couldn't hold on, and while resting, he secretly asked Les beside him.

"When you reach my current level, I won't force you to train anymore. ”

"Huh, when is that going to be?"

Amid the soldiers' complaints, the harsh training continued.

And just like that, the time entered December.

The whole city is already in a festive atmosphere, the whole Dahunala is lively, and everyone's face is full of festive smiles.

During this time, Emmanuel made two more contacts with Aaron under Martin. The two sides reached a preliminary consensus on the issue of sending troops, but there were big differences in details and remuneration.

On this day on December 1, Emmanuel came to the Executive Yuan again for a meeting with Aaron.

Aaron greeted Emmanuel directly in the conference hall.

In addition to the two of them, there are Carl, Rudolph, Les, and Derek, while Eddie returns to Laco to take care of the follow-up work with the Dwarves.

After a few brief polite words, Emmanuel threw the question on the table.

"You say you're going to attack Abula until February, what's going on? We can provide you with plenty of money, but please don't fool me. I want to know, what can you do in two months, especially now that it's winter, can you take Abula by sleeping hot under the covers?"

"I've told you all these things, and if we can't take Abul for two months, then we won't be able to drive out the Wahe, no matter how long we talk. We ourselves have discussed this issue many times, and we have agreed that these two months are the key to success or failure, and once exceeded, what awaits us will be failure, and we do not want to be the second Wilder. ”

"Yes, it's up to you, but what about your conditions, what do you mean by asking Abula to be under your jurisdiction?" asked Emmanuel.

"It's simple. The ownership of Abula is ours, and the stewardship belongs to you. We will garrison you, but not your administration and trade. Aaron explained.

"You mean Aboul doesn't have military power?" shouted Emmanuel.

Aaron nodded: "That's what it means, you don't have military power." ”

"How can there be such an unreasonable demand? In the history of Abula, he has never lost his military power. Emmanuel retorted.

"Abula had never been occupied by any other country before that. ”

Emmanuel's eyes were round, and his face became unusually ugly.

"The most important thing for you is Abula's important geographical location, and we have no restrictions on you in this regard. And, remember, now that Abul is controlled by the Wah, you have no control over it. 'A hundred birds in the forest is not as good as a year in hand', sometimes it is wise to take a step back. Of course, we will only negotiate this with you until February, and time is running out for you. ”

The meeting ended in displeasure, and after Emanuel returned, he consulted with the members of parliament who had arrived one after another, and discussed it for three days. Gradually, the side that agreed with Aaron gained the upper hand, and Emmanuel had to choose to back down.

Eventually, the lawmakers agreed to Aaron's terms.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Emmanuel led sixty-four councillors to meet with Aaron, and the two sides signed a contract, and the cooperation between the Abulecs and Aaron began.

A week later, Aaron led Les and Fish and fifteen hundred soldiers out of Dahumla and accelerated to Abula, while Karl, Shygerso, and Derek also led a thousand men out of Dahumla, their target was Woan. (To be continued.) )
