It's like William said, now he has the advantage, no matter how unwilling Victoria is, no matter how unhappy she is, no matter how much she argues with reason, the final result is not satisfactory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

During the week-long negotiations, the Russian Gothic Emperor and Victoria met in a secret room, and the professional negotiators brought by both sides, as well as elites from all walks of life, also fought desperately on the formal negotiation field, bringing more favorable conditions and more benefits to their own countries.

However, even if this is the case, the actual results will not change much.

In any case, it is very difficult to happen in the real world that a lobbyist fools the whole country and then changes the national policy or something.

The reason why it was like that was mainly because of the IQ of the ancient monarchs. The IQ is not enough, but the power is too great. In addition to this, there is another reason, that is, their intelligence channels, intelligence sources, the amount of information is insufficient, and there is not a good enough intelligence analysis system.

Of course, none of these things can solve the Russian Gothic Empire, nor can it solve the great emperor of the Russian Gothic Empire.

Yes, the Bretons were well prepared, and they were very convincing to take things out of context that seemed to make sense only to their own interests, but were in fact nine truths and one falsehood.

In fact, they did use these figures, figures, and theories to envelop some of the negotiators, high-ranking officials, and some nobles and people of the Russian Gothic Empire.

Some of the newspapers and media that have been stuffed with money are also constantly promoting what they promote, the threat theory of the Visigothic Republic, and that the righteous empires of the whole world should unite unconditionally and strive for world peace.

However, even so, the more, if not the vast majority of the people of the Russian Gothic Empire, still maintain a calm and sober mind, and it is not that those guys will be shaken and changed because of what they say casually.

So, this kind of cleverness can't completely dominate a negotiation.

And this kind of cleverness can't dominate a negotiation, so what can dominate such a negotiation?

The matter is naturally very simple, and that is strength.

Yes, strength.

As long as you have enough strength, you can do what you need to do with strength.

And now, it was the Russian Gothic Empire that was stronger than the Briton Kingdom. More importantly, it was now the Kingdom of Briton that wanted to ask the Russian Gothic Empire to do something, and not the other way around.

It was as if it were what William expected, what he said, what he wanted and what he was comfortable with. In this case, the Russian Gothic Empire was absolutely unlikely to suffer. The only question was how much the empire could take advantage of it - and finally, after two weeks of negotiations. At a celebratory banquet celebrating the realignment of the Russian Gothic Empire and the Kingdom of Briton. William also saw this covenant for the first time, which was definitely beneficial to the Russian Gothic Empire.

Very pleasant, very pleasant. It can be said that if it weren't for the emperor's reserve, William would have even laughed. It is even necessary to praise and reward the negotiators, because these guys have negotiated a treaty that willingly satisfies William, so to speak, and could not be more satisfactory.

The first is the division of the world between the two sides - this is also what William is most concerned about. If the Russian Gothic Empire and the Kingdom of Briton want to "cooperate sincerely", at least at this stage, then they must divide the current known world well.

As I said before, the two nations today are vying for hegemony in the world, not just for the Old Continent - although for these two countries, the struggle for the Old Continent is the most important and the most important. However, this does not mean that any nation would want to see another country take all the territories of the known world except the Old World under their control.

If that really happens, then it will be impossible for that country to win the current battle for hegemony in the old world, let alone the hegemony of this world.

In fact, William felt that if it were not for the influence of the current "Old Continent First" policy, which made the two countries consider the Old Continent extremely important and willing to cooperate, then the number and importance of the contradictions and conflicts alone would probably be more between the Empire and the Briton Kingdom than between them and the Visigothic Republic.

This is mainly because both sides are too vast and the strength of both sides is too strong. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of both sides, the colonies of both sides are also all over the world, and both sides are powerful countries that can be called the level of empires on which the sun never sets, in this case, both sides naturally want to get more, and they naturally regard each other as a thorn in their side.

And in this case, the contradictions between the two sides are almost all over the world.

First of all, Indy, at the present, the latest, a struggle between the Empire and the Britons, and even a conflict and contradiction that almost caused a full-scale war between the Britons and the Russian Gothic Empire, took place in Indy, this densely populated territory.

With more than 100 million Indians, a rich territory, and a huge amount of wealth. At the same time, the people are docile and easy to manage. Such an Indy is simply the most perfect colony in the world.

If anyone can get Indy, then they can take a solid step on the road to "world hegemony".

It is precisely for this reason that neither the Russian Gothic Empire nor the Kingdom of Briton will allow the other side to occupy the entire Indi.

It is precisely for this reason that before the rise of the Visigothic Republic, Victoria had to lead a large army to fight in India in person with such a noble status. It was also for this reason that William went east in one breath and made two consecutive expeditions.

In India today, the Britons occupy most of the territory, and the southern plateaus of India, as well as the mountainous and woodland areas in the east, are all under the control of the Britons.

In terms of territorial size, the Bretons occupy nearly two-thirds of Indy.

However, if quality is concerned, then the territory controlled by the empire was much more fertile than that of the Britons.

The Mughals, who had been largely reduced to a vassal state of the empire's colonies, occupied the richest valley of the Ganges River in central India. Another rich and densely populated northwestern part of Indy, the Indy Valley, was directly turned into his own territory by William.

In this case, 60 percent of the population of India, and nearly 70 percent of the wealth, were concentrated in the hands of the empire - although even so, William was not satisfied.

In this round of negotiations, the Victorians and the Britons hoped that the Indy would remain the status quo ante, and even that they would go further, and that it would be better if the Empire could give them some compensation in the Indy.

Of course, as I said before, they are at a disadvantage now, and they are the ones who want to ask for it, so it is impossible for them to ask the empire to give up too much.

Territory, suzerainty or anything is the same. All they want now is for the empire to open up its markets and gain some commercial benefits.

However, even so, William didn't want to make it easy for them to obtain.

William's expectation was that if they were able to get the Empire to open up the Indy market, then the Hindu market under their control, including the market of the Maratha Alliance, which was allied with them, would also be fully opened - which was of course one of the quid pro quo prepared by the Britons -

Of course, of course, William didn't want to let it go so simply.

On the other hand, what William wanted was for them to open up the markets of Indochina and the Spice Islands on this basis. These rainforests, which also have an adequate agricultural base, as well as a large number of spices, a large amount of fish, and more importantly, a large number of maritime trading ports and territories of maritime interests, which the Empire has hoped to touch, but has never been able to enter.

The princely kings, sutans, and chieftains have been dealing with the Britons for hundreds of years, and have been fearing for centuries under the powerful power of the Britons. At the same time, the Britons remain the most powerful naval nation in the world. In this case, if the empire rashly intervenes in the situation here, it is impossible to say that it will be severely taught a lesson by the Britons.

Fiasco or something, William is not unprepared, although the empire has always been praised, or promoted as the world's most powerful country or something. But William knows that even the world's number one power will fail.

But-

But William could not accept in any case that his great army, his great empire, was placed in such a place, and even said that defeat was in the hands of some monkeys.

Therefore, the Empire's current policy in this region is relatively cautious. Seeking trade and exploration, explorers in private status, coupled with private seafaring and merchant ships as vanguards, were expected to be able to explore, outpost, and establish some strongholds in these areas to facilitate further intervention of the Empire.

Of course, these efforts of the Empire were also thwarted by the Britons. Progress has been very slow. The Empire is currently hoping to use this opportunity to make the Bretons take the initiative to admit and concede, so that the Empire can stab its minions into this area.

However, it is not too easy, even difficult.

In this way, the reciprocity between the empire and the Britons, the first step in signing the agreement, was greatly hindered.

Of course, after being rejected by the Britons, the Negotiators of the Empire did not dwell too much on the issue.

In William's words, they now have to solve more than just the problem of the Spice Islands and Indochina. Rather, it is a question of the division of interests between the Empire and the Kingdom of Briton on a worldwide scale. It's the big picture, the totality, there are a lot of benefits to be exchanged, and there is a need for regression. There's no need to dwell too much on one aspect......
