Recalling the great achievements of His Majesty the Great Emperor he served, little Franz was overwhelmed with excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Imagine how many great, glorious, and once great empires there were in this world?

And at that time, where was the Hereford family, the Great Frontier Region, where was the Russian-Gothic Empire? Yes, there was actually no Russian-Gothic Empire at that time. It is precisely because of William's birth, because of William's great leadership and strong combat effectiveness, that the Russian-Gothic Empire appeared, so the Russian-Gothic Empire became the most powerful empire near the apex in the world.

Only in this way can the Russian-Gothic Empire be able to attract attention, and a small person like him, who was originally penniless, can become the guest of Asha of the Zoroastrian Empire.

Thinking of this, Franz Jr.'s admiration for Wilhelm was like the surging water of the Yellow River. The Zoroastrian ministers, soldiers and eunuchs around him were surprised to see that this guy's expression suddenly became more incomprehensible.

In this way, Franz the Younger, along with his five attendants, lieutenants and messengers, had been inspected at three checkpoints and had their swords unwound before meeting the ruler of the Zoroastrian Empire. Shah named Darius IV.

According to Gothic court etiquette, the other party is the etiquette of the king, and after bowing to the other party, Franz the younger asked the envoy to offer a gift.

Quite fine glassware, in addition to fine bone china artefacts, gilded mirrors and clocks.

The outstanding industrial prowess of the Hereford family is evident in all these crafts.

All this made this Darius Shah very satisfied. His gaze at little Franz became gentler. It was as if the ministers around him - of course, some of these gifts would be given to them by the Shah, that is, they would all benefit from it.

Of course, as a good-faced monarch, Darius Shah could not simply watch them give themselves things and not give them himself. He quickly returned the favor with quite a few gifts. In addition to the finest gold and silver wares, there are also the finest cashmere carpets, tapestries, porcelain and silk from the East, as well as spices of local specialty. cloves, star anise, fennel and many more. These things mean a lot to the Empire.

In fact, a long time ago, the tone said that the West pursued more Eastern silk and tea, as well as handicrafts and porcelain, but rather pursued Oriental spices. Of course, spices are not produced in the Land of Dragons, but in the South Seas and Indies, and of course in the Middle East. All of these regions have amassed great wealth thanks to a variety of spices, pepper, peppercorns, star anise, etc.

"Thank you very much, that's exactly what we expected. As if he had thought about it before, after hearing that the other party had returned the gift with a lot of spices, little Franz showed a pleasant smile just right. And he thanked King Darius again and again. Then he looked satisfied and ready to leave.

This made King Darius, who had been informed before, feel a little disappointed.

To be honest, although there are doubts about the Hereford family, and for the outside world, the Russian Gothic Empire may intervene in the affairs of its own empire. But when it comes to the verge of extinction, the other party can't care about anything.

The people of the Zoroastrian Empire did the math, and then they found that the only person around them who might come to their aid, and the person with the greatest possibility of aiding them, was the Herefords, the Russian-Gothic Empire.

This empire was at war with the Ottoman Empire of the Dark Elves. At the same time, it also took control of the Cuman-Kipchak steppe, bordering the Uzbeks.

In terms of the political and military thinking of long-distance friendship and close attack, this is the most suitable ally.

The problem is that now it seems that this envoy, and the emperor standing behind this envoy, do not seem to have any intention of intervening in this war.

That's pretty much how strange people are. If at this moment, Franz Jr. was very active in giving him ideas, and said that if necessary, he would form an alliance with him against the enemy or something. Then this Darius Shah must feel suspicious, and will wonder if the other party is uneasy and kind, harboring evil intentions, and wants this and that.

But now, little Franz didn't have any similar thoughts, and he felt very unwilling.

"Don't be in a hurry, messenger," said Darius, "and I am very curious about your country and its monarchs. If you may, could you please tell me and my ministers about your empire?"

Hearing him say this, little Franz smiled and said, "Of course." Spreading the glory of the great empire and His Majesty the Emperor to the world is also an important mission as a diplomatic envoy. He said this to Darius Shah. From the history of the Hereford family, and from the rise of the Hereford family, the wars experienced in recent times. The population he ruled, as well as the location and size, a series of data were spoken, which surprised Darius and subconsciously wanted to trust what he said.

For Franz the Younger, in his words, does not speak of such exaggerated metaphorical rhetorical methods as the boundless land, the boundless territory, the population as many as the stars in the sky, and the army as the clouds.

It was also a term that was preferred by the diplomats of the traditional classical empire. That sounds pretty impressive, though. But in reality, it is not feasible at all. It's very unrealistic.

But it was not the same at the Imperial Academy, and at the Novgorod University where little Franz had studied. He prefers to describe it all in mathematical, data, methodical and logical language. So, with the exception of a series of data that the Empire currently classified as classified he did not say, most of the data is real.

Because before that, the two sides did not breathe. I didn't say anything about this or anything. It was all impromptu speeches and conversations, so Darius Shah felt that it was impossible for the other party to say so much detailed data in one breath. Think about it this way. Then what the other party said must be true.

The thought of his enemy still possessing such a powerful, enemy of his enemies, Darius Shah was heartened. If an alliance treaty can be reached to support the Zoroastrian Empire in the event of an attack by the other side, the strategic position of the Zoroastrian Empire will be much better.

"It's just that the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of doing this. Darius Shah thought to himself. Then he asked tentatively, "So, is the relationship between your country and those dark elves very bad?"

"It used to be really bad. But that's in the past. The other smiled and said, "The war with the dark elves is over. Now that we have established the borders between the two sides, we have signed an armistice.

Now, we are in a state of truce. We have sent ambassadors to each other, and business and trade have resumed. In fact, to tell you the truth, the Ottoman Empire is one of the most promising emerging markets in our country. There were a large number of domestic factories and large merchants, all of whom expected to trade with the Ottoman Empire.

"That's ......" Hearing little Franz say this, the other party was even more discouraged. Just as Darius Shah was thinking about what to say, another Zoroastrian minister spoke on the other side: "But don't your country want to take back the Crimean Peninsula? If this peninsula is still in the hands of the dark elves, then your country's strategic situation is probably a little bad, right?"

Little Franz was a little surprised, then looked to the side, and the man who said this - saw a guy who was a little different. This guy doesn't have a big beard like most people, but has two mustaches, looks quite energetic, and at the same time has very sharp eyes.

"Nadir. He introduced himself: "One of King Darius's most loyal generals." The other person saluted little Franz on his chest and said so.

"There's some truth to what you're saying. After deceiving him, taking a look at Darius Shah, and seeing that the other party was not upset by the other party's sudden interjection, Franz Jr. also saluted him, and then replied: "It's just that the current situation in the empire does not allow us to make too many moves. As you should know, the people who rule the Old World these days are the Britons, who are not as friendly as the Goths. They controlled almost the entire empire. In this case, our tactics are to keep the light on the clouds.

In order to prevent any war, inflict unnecessary losses on us. We had to do this in order to stir up the ambitions of the Britons to wage war against us. He said very calmly. Let Nadir on the other side also don't know how to answer:

"But in this way, your country's strategic posture seems to be ......"

"Truth be told, these are not things that a small messenger of mine can ask. Franz Jr. smiled and said.

That's it, seeing that this guy doesn't get some oil and salt. The other party waved his hand rather irritably. Then someone took Franz Jr. and his deputies back to the embassy to rest.
