Chapter 529: Negotiation

The Holy See can also wage a holy war at any cost, and in the name of God, all the believers will be summoned to participate in this holy war, and it is really not believed that with the strength of tens of millions of believers, the infidels from the east cannot be destroyed.

But the cost of waging a holy war is that the whole of Western Europe is completely plunged into war, even if the infidels can be exterminated, what kind of price will have to be paid, whether the Holy See can afford this price, and if Western Europe encounters an old enemy after the holy war, such as an attack from the Ottomans......

The cost is too great, and there are too many uncertainties, which is the fundamental reason why the Holy See is unwilling to launch a holy war, of course, if it is really forced to the last step, then the holy war is inevitable!

But at present, there is no doubt that using negotiation to stabilize the pagans in the East is the wisest choice to buy time, but Amideo did not expect that the cunning pagans of the East would see through the intentions of the Holy See at a glance......

In fact, the Holy See also knew that defeat meant losing its status and initiative at the negotiating table, and the Holy See would inevitably be blackmailed by Dawu, but there was no way, and if it wanted to achieve its own goals, the Holy See could only choose to make concessions.

However, some concessions are simply difficult to accept, and even the bottom line is impossible to break, who knows that the conditions put forward by the greedy and cunning Oriental pagans after seeing through the intentions of the Holy See are more harsh than the other, and they are so harsh that it is impossible to negotiate at all......

"Dear Ambassador Hou, since Dawu is willing to sit at the negotiating table, then he should have the most basic sincerity, but the lion of your country opened his mouth, to be honest, Amideo did not see the sincerity of your country, otherwise, your country would not have proposed such an absurd war reparation, the crusade was defeated, but there are still tens of millions of believers of God in Western Europe, although the Holy See does not want to continue fighting, but if Dawu has to persecute, the Holy See can only ask the great and merciful Lord to carry out the holy judgment, and the Holy See can only launch a holy war as a last resort."

Hou Sihe said with a smile: "There is a saying in the East called 'good war will perish, forgetting war will be dangerous', the great and industrious people of the East have never liked endless wars, but they have never been afraid of war, God has tens of millions of believers, and the Holy See can indeed launch holy wars, but the Holy See should not forget that behind the Dawu Dynasty, there is also the powerful Ming Dynasty!"

The Ming Dynasty has 20,000 people, and has more than 3 million troops that are stronger than coming here, and the Holy See wants to launch a holy war, not to mention whether it can win the holy war, even if it can win, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the younger brother of the Xuanwu Emperor, if the Xuanwu Emperor is defeated or even has a business trip, the Jiajing Emperor will definitely send a million troops to land in Western Europe, and then the land of Western Europe will inevitably be ruined and turned into purgatory on earth. Will God's Doctrine on earth survive then? If not, whether the Pope and the clergy will become sinners of Christ! ”

Amideo was stupid, and so were all the clergy involved in the negotiations......

They forgot, not even forgot but didn't know at all!

At first, the Holy See thought that the pagans of the East had suddenly appeared and had lost the war in the East, and then fled to Western Europe, hoping to gain a foothold in Western Europe and occupy a place of existence.

The Holy See really didn't care about this, because all the clergy believed that the glory of the Lord was everywhere, and that if they were given time, these pagans would surely become devout believers in the Lord.

Then they found out that they were wrong, and more and more Orientals were immigrated to Western Europe, which can already explain the problem, that is, Emperor Dawu, who has an army of 100,000, is not necessarily the defeated of the East, he is very likely to be ordered by the Emperor of the East to conquer Western Europe and start a colonial war!

As for why Emperor Dawu was called emperor, this is actually nothing in Western Europe, so I didn't care.

But now they know that the monarch of Dawu turned out to be the elder brother of Emperor Daming of the East!

If the Holy See in the past was disdainful of Dongfang Daming, now after being beaten, even if he is not convinced, he is completely convinced......

Amideo didn't believe that the Ming Dynasty had a population of 20,000, let alone that the Ming Dynasty had an army as strong as 3 million, thinking that this was just Hou Si wanting to increase his bargaining chips, so he was alarmist.

But Amideo knows better, even if Hou Si has an element of exaggeration, it is certain that Daming has a million strong army, and Dawu's 100,000 troops almost beat the crusaders to death, if Daming sends another 500,000!

What will be the result, as Hou Si said, it is estimated that even if the Holy See launches a holy war, its chances of victory will not be too great, and then Western Europe will really be full of corpses and rivers of blood!

Thinking about it this way, Amidioton, who originally thought that holy war was the greatest confidence of the Holy See, felt that he was eight points short of breath, and he completely lost the initiative in negotiations!

"Fifty million taels!" Amideo, who was a little lacking in confidence, made a price, and then said: "But Dawu must release the Crusader captives, as well as Charles V and Monarch Francis, as well as the two bishops."

Hou Si smiled lightly: "Your Excellency, negotiation is negotiation, bargaining is bargaining, things have to be negotiated one by one, first of all, war compensation and prisoners are not a thing at all, and secondly, the counteroffer is not such a repayment, your price code makes it impossible for the envoy to go back to pay the difference, which will indicate the breakdown of the negotiation, if the negotiation breaks down, the army of the Great Martial Pillow will continue to attack, and the Holy See must also be prepared for the burning of jade after the holy war!"

Amideo said: "Portugal, Spain, France and Holy Rome have a lot of territory occupied by Dawu, the Dawu Dynasty has almost purged the nobles of these kingdoms, and the plundered wealth is simply incalculable, and now the Holy See still needs to call on all European countries to donate in order to collect these 50 million taels, but your country needs 30,000 taels, and the Holy See can't do it at all."

Hou Si said with a smile: "The Holy See has stood in Western Europe for thousands of years, and the wealth donated by the believers is incalculable, and the envoy really doesn't believe that the Holy See will not be able to produce a mere 30,000 taels of silver."

"It's a fact!" Amideo was a little angry and said, "Amideo can swear in the name of God!" Your country is so greedy, you are persecuting! If you really want to not give an inch like this, you are forcing the Holy See to start a holy war with all the jade and stones! ”

"Lord Bishop doesn't need to be excited, so let's take a step back, 250,000 taels, this is the bottom line of Emperor Dawu!"

God's bottom line, Amideo would be hell if he wanted to believe that this was the bottom line.

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Twenty twenty million!"

"Ten thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"
