Chapter 129: Negotiation ?Negotiation!

"So, what's the solution, what's the way to save this?" Victoria thought desperately. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Just as William would protect his Wende Kingdom and Russian territories and regard them as his basic plates, Victoria also regarded the Ostrogothic Empire and the Visigothic Kingdom territories as his basic plates.

In contrast, although the subcontinent is rich and has a large population, it cannot be governed and developed as a local because of its special religion and ethnicity. Therefore, even if the entire subcontinent is ruled and annexed, the final gain can only be a very broad market and raw material market. Happily use the scissors poorly, and then swallow their interests, exploit these bastards, and then let their native people live as if it were paradise. It does.

But it is impossible to build a world empire that is so powerful that it borders on the terrible with the subcontinent.

It's still a very sad thing to think about.

Just as William, discouraged by the situation in the subcontinent, wanted to leave, Victoria now felt that she could not delay here any longer, and wanted to leave - for which she was even willing to give in to Wilhelm von Hereford to a certain extent - of course, there was actually another reason for this.

Faced with the menacing rebels of the Visigothic Republic, or the so-called revolutionaries, Victoria was also a little frightened.

Although she thinks highly of herself, she still has some doubts about whether she really has the ability to defeat them all.

In the face of the irrepressible army of the Republic, the Britons were a little overwhelmed.

And the entire Ostrogothic Empire was in chaos, and the small imperial states that did not have enough strength were completely unable to provide any support to the Briton Kingdom.

Under these circumstances, the only Russian Gothic Imperial Army under the command of Wilhelm von Hereford was the only one who had the strength to become an ally of the Britons, and had enough land strength to fight the seemingly invincible army of the Visigothic Republic.

Originally, before the rise of the Visigothic Republic, the imperial army led by William was known as the world's largest army. Presumably, there will be many people in this world who want to know which is more powerful, the Imperial army under William's command, or the Visigothic Republic army in a current state of fanaticism, right?

Come to think of it, that's true.

"But how can we get the other side to comply, how can we get the other side to promise an alliance with the Empire?

If we don't have enough benefits, then that guy won't want to fight for us, right?"

Victoria thought about it a little, no, I should say that I thought about it seriously and diligently.

If there is one of the most correct and natural reasons for obtaining an alliance pleasantly, then, like the vast majority of rulers of this era, William felt that the relationship between monarchy and republic could be started.

In fact, before this, before the emergence of the Visigothic Republic, there were a number of republican states in the world of the Old Continent -

Usually, these republics are not very large, and even city-states with only one city, such as the most famous Venice, as well as the Frisian Republic in the north, Polotsk and Novgorod in the Far East, all of which are republics.

Although these countries were also "republicans", they were barely considered to themselves in the eyes of Victoria, and to the vast majority of the aristocracy.

Because there are also aristocrats in these countries, and there are also classes and institutions.

The republican system of these countries is usually a republican system within the aristocratic circle. Their rulers were basically lifelong rulers with noble titles, and their families were rightfully part of the nobility circles of the Old World.

These republics have never thought of equalizing property, nor have they ever thought of implementing a policy of equality, liberty, and fraternity. Of course, they never thought of using some kind of thought to turn all the people of the stupid country into brainless madmen, and then form a crazy army to conquer the world.

This situation is completely different from the original, traditional mercantile city-state system of the republic. The difference between the two sides is as huge as the harmless probiotics and HIV.

"Therefore, the goal now can no longer be set on Indy, even if the entire India is ceded to the Russian Gothic Empire, it does not matter, in any case, the Russian Gothic Empire must be tied to the chariot. Let them face the evil republican revolutionaries.

Only in this way can the great kingdom maintain control over the world!

Even if it is a temporary transfer of some benefits to them, it is not too big or too important, those republican guys are definitely not easy enemies to mess with, and the other side will definitely suffer heavy losses when fighting the republican rebels. After both of them fight to the death and lose both, it is time for the great kingdom to reap the fruits of victory!"

I have to say that Victoria's abacus crackled and looked like a very good deal.

Only, can things really turn out the way Victoria thinks?

That's another story.

"The question is, though, how do I make things go the way I want them to?" thought to Victoria.

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible. No matter how you think about it, it seems that a terrible and calculating fellow like Wilhelm von Hereford could not have agreed so easily to himself, and then to take the blame for himself.

"So, now it's just a matter of taking one step at a time. The first thing is to restore communication and contact with that guy. Negotiations may be the next step.

For the time being, I will understand the Indy-India dispute, and if the other party insists, perhaps I should give him some concessions......"

She was thinking this in her heart, when she heard a knock on the door outside the room, Victoria didn't take it seriously at first, but she didn't expect the knocking to stop for the rest of the day, which made him upset, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Who is it?! Didn't I tell me?! Don't bother me while I'm thinking!"

After this, the knocking at the door stopped, and Victoria breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to reorganize her thoughts, when she heard the maid at the door say timidly:

"But, but Your Highness, you also said that if there is information and intelligence from Wilhelm von Hereford, it must be delivered to you in the shortest possible time, so ......"

"Hurry in!" After hearing the name of her blood brother, Victoria suddenly stopped being angry.

She shouted almost impatiently, startling the maid at the door.

After snatching the letter from her, Victoria realized that she had lost her temper.

But even so, she had no intention of correcting it.

It doesn't matter, she is the master in this place, she can do whatever she wants, even if she kills all the maids and servants here, no one will say a word.

And for such enjoyment and treatment, as a duke, and as the de facto controller of the Briton Kingdom, Victoria has long been accustomed to it.

"Let's leave. After that, Victoria waved her hand impatiently and said.

The maid was full of suspicion, and at the same time muttered secretly: "I have long heard about His Highness and that ...... I'm afraid there are some things between the emperors, I originally thought that everyone was just talking casually, but judging by His Highness's performance now, those rumors may be true......"

Of course, this maid only thought about it in her heart, and of course she only thought about it. She would never say it, of course, and in fact she didn't dare to say it.

However, if she saw Victoria looking at her back for a while, showing a cold expression, she would understand a truth.

Not even to think about it—or even to say that she just saw something she shouldn't have seen. Her next fate is already doomed. It's going to be pretty miserable.

Of course, these are not important matters, the fate of a maid seems so insignificant in front of the fate of the whole Old World, no one will care about that kind of thing.

"Just find an excuse to send her away. Victoria threw the thought to the back of her mind, checked that the paint was in good condition, then opened the envelope and looked at the letter again.

After skipping the insincere greetings and greetings at the front, she immediately captured the true intention of William's letter.

Not what Victoria expected, after learning of the rampant revolutionaries in the Old World, William decided to join forces with her to put aside her old grievances and suppress these brutal so-called revolutionaries out of his own class interests.

Not at all, in fact William was just asking her to spare the woman, his aunt Freya, for her life.

Originally, even if William didn't talk about it, Victoria was actually unlikely to kill her. After all, Freya is also a female archduke with a noble identity and status. If she were killed casually, Victoria would lose some of the hearts of the people, or the support of the nobles.

Originally, Victoria wanted to spare her life.

However, even so, William still wrote and made such demands and conditions to Victoria.

This made Victoria inexplicably unhappy and angry.

For a moment, I even had the idea of going against William -- well, aren't you trying to save her?

However, it was only for a moment, and this slightly inexplicable presumptuous attitude disappeared, and she happily thought of another possibility.

Yes, since William cares so much about his aunt Freya, then perhaps, she can make a fuss with that woman?

Or even to use this as a quid pro quo in exchange for William's concessions in the affairs of the Old World?

As soon as she thought of this, Victoria smiled happily, give it a try, try it and you won't get pregnant, right?
