Although Tracy's initial words are clearly organized and summarized well, they cannot be said to be insightful, but can only be said to be prosaic. But then, Tricy turned to the point.

"Does the face of the empire matter? But it also depends on when. If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't, you will go, which is nothing, but don't make a rivalry. Tracy then asked the new Minister of Protocol, Sir Alonso, "Your Excellency Foreign Minister, can you send someone to talk to the Grand Duke of the Red Lion? Even if there is no long-term peace, a temporary ceasefire agreement is needed. ”

Sir Alonso hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there is no problem in signing the agreement, and the Red Lion Principality has also sent someone to take the initiative to communicate." The most important thing now is that the disagreement is on the terms. ”

Compared to the Verona Empire, the strength of the Red Lion Principality is far from the same. Especially since there are steppe barbarians behind him, so he can't fight on two fronts at all. In fact, he was more worried than the Verona Empire, for fear of being attacked on his back. However, after the Red Lion Grand Duke broke with the Verona Empire, his wariness of the Verona Empire was even more exaggerated. Without huge concessions, it will be difficult to reach a peace agreement that reassures the Principality of the Red Lion.

The ministers present were unanimous in their views on a peace agreement with the Red Lion Principality to end the current state of war. How can we make concessions? How much should we concede? This is the focus of controversy, because after all, no one wants to be infamy as a "traitor."

After a little thought, Tracy expressed her opinion: "The details of the specific terms can be discussed later." However, the main points are as follows: the two countries will use the border to cease fighting, receive and return the personnel and families of the two sides, exchange of envoys, and forget the original right to garrison troops...... Twenty years tentatively, of course, it would be best to shorten it. ”

That's what I heard. Sir Alonso was slightly stunned. If that's the case, there's certainly nothing wrong with reaching an agreement. For the sake of solemnity. Sir Alonso then asked, "Your Majesty, what about the status of the vassal state, and what about the annual tribute? and why is there a time limit? There is no time limit. Isn't the Red Lion Principality more at ease?"

Tricy smiled: "Foreign Minister, Trisy thinks: Don't think about face for the time being, is some false name important? There is no need to talk about the status of the vassal state, not even tributary. Of course, if the steppe barbarians invade, the empire will not come to their aid. Now that the relationship between the two countries is like this, will the Red Lion Grand Guild be relieved to let the troops of the empire enter? As for the deadline, the matter has to be resolved. It's better to tear up the agreement than not to renew it at that time, right? In fact, no matter how we make promises, the Red Lion Grand Duke will not be completely relieved. It's better to set a deadline like this. ”

And the meaning of Trisy's words, those old fox-like ministers also understood it. Now the empire has lost face, but this face will not be lost forever. Just slow down. Sooner or later, the problem of the Red Lion Principality will be resolved. After hearing these words, the atmosphere in the hall was much more relaxed, and a problem was finally solved. Tricy, on the other hand, continued to ask Marshal Phoenix, "Marshal, if the agreement can be initialed, how many troops can be transferred from the Red Lion Principality?"

Marshal Phoenix noticed that Tricy was a little anxious, and he reminded, "Your Majesty! Even if the Grand Duke of the Red Lion wanted peace, he was not willing to sign it too quickly. Because of the great victory of the steppe in front, the steppe barbarians have no threat for the time being. On the Empire's side, there are frequent wars. If you can contain a part of the empire's forces, trap the empire's hands and feet. Let the other two wars be deadlocked, and that would be beneficial to the Red Lion Principality. Also, even if an agreement can be reached, the empire also needs to guard against the Red Lion Grand Duke taking advantage of the fire to rob. After all, we have to think about the worst-case scenario. Even if everything is going well, there are not many troops that can be deployed, and it will take at least more than half a year. ”

"So?" said Tracy smiled at Marshal Phoenix. "Thank you, Marshal, it's Tricy who has not thought about it. But Trisy thought. Can this be done? Now there is not much pressure on the elves and orcs, and there is not much need for the Tro kingdom to garrison. The wing that leaves the gem flower behind will do. Transfer General Daniel's Tro Legion to the Red Lion Principality, and then draw troops from the Red Lion Principality?"

"So?" Trisy's reminder brought all the ministers' minds to life. And Marshal Phoenix is also in deep thought, considering such a feasibility.

And Prime Minister Warreni was even more open-minded, and he stepped forward to suggest: "Your Majesty! Not only the Tro Legion, but also the Tro Kingdom should send troops. Let them send at least tens of thousands of troops to the Red Lion Principality, which can not only guard against the Tro Kingdom's intentions, but also prevent collusion between the Tro Kingdom and the Red Lion Principality. And military spending can also let them bear part of it. As a vassal state, the Tello Kingdom should also make some efforts. ”

Trisy's eyes lit up suddenly, but then she was a little unconfident: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid that the Tello Kingdom will not want to?"

"Hehe!" Chancellor Warreni smiled. He explained, "Didn't the news come a few days ago that Princess Tello was pregnant? The Empire had once proposed marriage again to marry that child and your Majesty's future child, and Philip II used delaying tactics, and was he not very willing? It can't be that humans join forces to resist the invasion of demons, but the Tello Kingdom doesn't do anything, right? And just let them send troops to garrison the borders of the Red Lion Principality, not a war, what reason did Philip II refuse? Of course, when he arrived in the Empire, he couldn't help it. ”

Prime Minister Warreny is indeed scheming, and in an instant he has come up with such a clever plan to kill a few birds with one stone, and of course Tricy is greatly inferior. So she exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: "Prime Minister, you are really the pillar of the empire!"

"Your Majesty has won the prize. ”

"Well, that's it. The matter of negotiating with the Kingdom of Tro is still going to trouble the Foreign Minister. ”

Sir Alonso immediately commanded: "Obey!"

In fact, the peace agreement that settled the Red Lion Principality was to draw troops and concentrate on solving a certain war, and everyone in the hall understood this. The south is a rebellion that shakes the foundations of the empire, while the Duchy of Heath is a foreign war, and even the battlefields are outside the empire. Needless to say, this choice is definitely a southern city-state.

Sure enough, Tracy then mentions the war in the south: "The puppet emperor and rebels in the south are indeed the henchmen of the empire. However, it is not a one-day task to solve it smoothly, and there may even be repetitions. Because the climate and geography of the south are too unsuitable, and naval warfare is a shortcoming of the empire. So I decided to put a moratorium on the counterinsurgency in the south!" )
