Li Lin did not disappoint the secretary general, the rising star of the business world not only has the cunning of a fox and the cruelty of a jackal, but also has a pair of eagle eyes that look into the long-term future from above.

From the very beginning, the plan to speculate on the lucrative grain for huàn coupons was only a beginning, a lure that no one could resist, in order to attract the support of foreign capital and state power - to provide cheap aged wheat, to disrupt Charlemagne's food supply, to attract the vast majority of firepower, and so on, all of which were impossible for V.E to accomplish on its own.

Behind the huge profits of speculation and speculation, Li Lin really aims at the long-term possession and control of Charlemagne's commercial market, and establishes a highly unshakable credibility and right to speak. On this basis, monopolize the big cake of Charlemagne's post-disaster construction.

That's right, exclusivity. Foreign businessmen were not allowed to enter because of national interests and participation in speculation, and Charlemagne's domestic competitors were all beaten to the huge cake that the Diji could enjoy alone without any interference.

"But there is also a plan that must be supported by the Secretary General of State and the Kingdom of Albion in order to remove the official resistance from this country, specifically ......"

Cardinal Di Plessi de Richelieu, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Clémento Metternich. ”

In place of Li Lin, Walsingham named two names: an adversary, and a respecter.

"The cardinal will never spare anyone who disturbs Charlemagne. As long as he catches the clues. ”

Walsingham sneered without a smile:

"You're done. ”

"It is so, on the other hand, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs would most likely advise His Majesty the King to make some concessions to Albion and Castile in exchange for food aid from abroad, or to buy foreign grain at a low price to settle the country, and the Cardinal would certainly give his full support. ”

Will Cardinal Richelieu agree to such a proposal that is detrimental to the interests of the state? There is no doubt that the bishop is well aware of the clear distinction between face and practical interests, and it is certainly embarrassing and humiliating to bow to his sworn enemies. But there is not enough food to feed the hungry, and there is not enough medicine to contain the epidemic. There are not enough gold coins to keep the country afloat - whether Charlemagne himself can save zài will be questionable. It's clear what the real-life cardinal did.

"But our country must also abide by morality, regardless of the attitude of our citizens. After Charlemagne preemptively makes concessions, the nations will keep an eye on our every move, and if we refuse, the reputation of our king will be severely damaged, do you think we can refuse?"

"No, there is no need for your country to refuse, on the contrary. I am confident that the enthusiastic people of Albion will be happy to come to the aid of Charlemagne's human brother in dire straits, with only one request at most. ”

Fleshy compliments. Li Lin's fingers tapped on the table with a creepy movement.

"The Autumn Palace in the Forest of Compiègne - I think it is a good place to sign an agreement of aid, and if Albion had sent plenipotentiaries the Duke of Normandy and the Duke of Brittany, I am sure that the great Majesty Charles IV would have made a wise decision. ”

There was a moment of silence, and Walsingham's laughter roared through the room.

"You're such a scoundrel!!"

After the praise and derogation, the cold secretary general asked with a cheerful aftertaste:

"So, what benefits can our country get from this?"

When the critical moment of negotiation has finally arrived, can Li Lin offer a higher price than Charlemagne might give? Can it offset the international impact of Albiang's deliberate delay and sabotage of aid?

Next, Li Lin's words will directly determine the success or failure of the cooperation.

Nidhogg stepped forward quietly, again. The teacup was overflowing with fragrance, and Walsingham waited patiently to see if the young man could pull off another zào miracle.

"A hidden free state. ”

Li Lin smiled kindly:

"In peacetime, a part of Charlemagne is maintained, and when there is an abnormal situation between Albion and Charlemagne, Charlemagne's northern part will quickly become independent, and while containing Charlemagne's army, it will fully support Albian's new country in terms of morality and materials. How?"

The third time there was a brief pause in thought. Without any scruples anymore, Walsingham, a strict self-disciplined cultist, slapped his thigh and laughed wildly.

"Your Excellency, is it possible that what that kid said will come true?"

Packing up the ruby and velvet satin padding of the communications, Secret Service Adjutant Kidd Marlowe turned back to question his master, his face still blushing almost drunk. The gloomy face is therefore somewhat comical for the Secretary General of State and the Director of the Secrecy Bureau.

The young pentagram magician couldn't understand why that bombastic boy could make Walsingham, who didn't smile, react so much.

Walsingham glanced at him, habitually tweaking his chin and whiskers.

Dressed in a white waiter suit with gold rim, strawberry-colored hair and cat-like green eyes, and a fair and thin face dotted with freckles.

Changing your clothes will never be reminiscent of a staff member of the Secret Service, a bit like a country bakery handyman apprentice - a good face suitable for camouflage and concealment.

Despite his gifted spy appearance, his brain is sometimes not good enough. It is far from being able to form its own independent political and strategic viewpoints, to deeply interpret and analyze the surface and interior of a thing, and then make correct judgments.

With a slight exhale, Walsingham digested the comparison.

The young man's hatred of being compared to others, his fragile self-esteem, his frustration - he knew no need to bother with his subordinates in a jealous temper.

"He's very strategic. ”

Walsingham had his own reflections:

"On the premise of not touching Charlemagne's bottom line, isolate Charlemagne to the greatest extent and grab benefits from it. ”

Use foreign forces to help him cover and share Charlemagne's pressure. It gave Charles IV and his important ministers the illusion that they were surrounded and suppressed by many sides, and they could not find the strategic focus in the overwhelmed series of troubles, and could not see where the real attack came from, so that they could not concentrate on attacking the initiators.

"It's called dark under the lights, and that continental country often makes this stupid mistake. ”

Kidd picked up the topic and said with a little awkwardness:

"The merchant was a bit clever, too. ”

PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: Little money ~ really sweet ~

Nidhogg: Your Excellency Li Lin...... What's wrong with that pair of rabbit ears on your head?

Li Lin: That's an illusion.

Nidhogg: It's a furry or a black rabbit, and there's a monster suit on the side......

Li Lin: Yesterday's grand prize book friends have to work hard for , three, and two!

Nidhogg: Today's question 1: What is the Konzern?2. What is the archetype of Cardinal Richelieu and Mette in front of the Minister of Foreign Affairs?
