Chapter 932: Territory for Equipment
In fact, McCann still didn't expect that it would be so easy to negotiate 70,000 sets of equipment, for him, the Holy Lion Empire has always been on the side of the Phoebus Kingdom, and it is normal for people to insist on not selling it to the Diga Dynasty. ใFull text readingใNovel
Although the price was not much more expensive than he had expected, at the national level, gold coins were never as important as materials, and problems that could be solved with money were not a problem at the national level.
When McCann came, he brought his retinue Wenchen, and Song Li also recruited Shangguan Jinghong, and the two sides quickly signed the agreement.
However, after the agreement was signed, McCann did not leave, he guessed that Santo came here to discuss with Song Li about buying equipment, but to see how much Santo wanted to buy and what to buy.
"Santo, why are you here?"
Song Li didn't mean to drive McCann away, for Song Li, McCann was here, which was also beneficial to him, and Song Li also knew the purpose of Santo's coming.
"His Royal Highness Song Li, this"
Santo glanced at McCann, obviously feeling that McCann was here, and it was inconvenient for the two to talk about things, and wanted Song Li to drive McCann away.
"Your Majesty Santo, people have just bought so much equipment from my Holy Lion Empire, and it's not good to drive them away after the deal. โ
Song Li looked helpless and did not agree to Santo's request.
"Well, I'm here this time to order some more equipment from your country, and finally there will be another 50,000 sets. โ
Santo was a little embarrassed, after all, Phoebus still owed a huge amount of money to the Holy Lion Empire.
"Your Majesty Santo, I know the situation in your country, and now you still owe me a huge amount of money to the Holy Lion Empire, if you want to continue to owe on credit, I really can't promise you, although my Holy Lion Empire is strong, but it also requires a huge cost to build equipment. โ
Song Li's face sank, and he pretended to be a little angry.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I didn't come this time to continue to pay on credit, of course, my Phoebus country does not have so many gold coins to buy now, but my Phoebus country can exchange other things. โ
Song Li knew that what I wanted was your words, and he was slightly excited in his heart, but the expression on his face was still gloomy.
"Santo, the current situation in your country, what is there that is comparable to the 50,000 top-level armaments you requested. โ
"Ahem, isn't the mediation team now the equipment negotiation to discuss post-war issues" Santo said to Song Li, just this sentence attracted the attention of Song Li and McCann, especially McCann's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt faintly uneasy in his heart. There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's a lot more stable than the general station.,It's faster than the update.,There's no ads in the whole text.ใ
"Among them, there will be a discussion about the nearly one-third of the territory of my Phoebus country that is now occupied by the Diga dynasty."
Before Santo could finish speaking, McCann directly interjected and shouted: "What is there to discuss, since it has been occupied by our Diga Dynasty, it is our Diga Dynasty's." โ
What McCann said is also true, according to the practice of the Nebula Continent, the territory that has been occupied by the Diga Dynasty belongs to the Diga Dynasty, and if you want it, you can only send troops to fight back.
But conventions are used to break, and there has never been such a thing as a mediation group in the war on the Nebula Continent before, and now it has also appeared.
"Ahem, McCann, you know, this is indeed on the agenda of the mediator's post-war meeting, Santo, you continued. โ
Song Li's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, you Santo is really cunning, and the behind-the-scenes strategists in the Phoebus country are also considered to have some skills, and their vision is unique.
"His Royal Highness Song Li, I, Phoebus, want another 50,000 sets of equipment, but I have no money so I can only reluctantly cut my love, give up all rights in this one-third of the territory, and transfer it to the Holy Lion Empire in exchange for 50,000 sets of equipment, you see how His Highness knows, the benefits above are small and small, and big can be big"
After saying that, Santo pursed his lips and smiled, and almost winked directly at Song Li.
Song Li couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and he had to admire the careful consideration of the Phoebus Kingdom in this matter, now that one-third of the territory has been occupied by the Diga Dynasty, even if the mediation team intervenes, and the Tripartite Forces of the Holy Lion Empire, the Rambis Empire and the Prairie Tribal Alliance support the Phoebus Country, Phoebis will not get much benefit in this.
The most important thing is that the two neutral countries of the Shengyuan Dynasty and the Five Sects United Kingdom can offend the Phoebus Kingdom, and they will not offend the Diga Dynasty, who makes the Phoebes Kingdom weaker than the Diga Dynasty.
Taking a step back, even with the support of the Holy Lion Empire, you Phoebus Kingdom has obtained a part of the benefits, and the mediation team has awarded you a part of the territory, the Diga Dynasty may not be able to give it to you obediently, and with the current situation of the Phoebus Kingdom, there is no way to forcibly take it back.
But if it is replaced by the Holy Lion Empire, it will be different, the Holy Lion Empire is the first power in the Nebula Continent, and now it has such a powerful military equipment, which makes the countries even more frightened.
At the negotiation table, the Holy Yuan Dynasty and the Five Sects United Kingdom will not hesitate to stand on the side of the Holy Lion Empire, there is no way, the national strength of the Diga Dynasty is too far from the Holy Lion Empire, and these two countries will not give the Holy Lion Empire this face.
The Holy Lion Empire has changed from a bystander to a party, and even the Nile and Oxa Empires will have scruples when voting, and they may not support the Diga Dynasty.
To sum up, it would be more practical for Santo to transfer all the above benefits to the Holy Lion Empire in advance in exchange for useful military equipment, and more importantly, it can also weaken the Diga Dynasty.
In Santo's calculations, the Holy Lion Empire will definitely accept such a deal, because the Holy Lion Empire has the ability to grab huge benefits in this area, and if the Diga Dynasty conflicts with the Holy Lion Empire in this matter, then its own plan to kill two birds with one stone will be even more perfect.
"What"
McCann immediately got up and tried to refute it, but found that he had no reason to refute it at all.
At first, he didn't pay attention to the mediator's negotiation of post-war matters, but he thought that because the national strength of the Phoebus country was too weak and relatively weak, even if it negotiated, it would not be able to take any advantage, and it would not be able to fight the Diga dynasty.
Moreover, even if the mediation team awarded the place occupied by the current Diga Dynasty to the country of Phoebus, the country of Phoebus would not have the strength to take it back.
But if it is replaced by the Holy Lion Empire, it will be completely different, and the Diga Dynasty will become the weaker side.
"This is not good, and it is difficult to say how much interest the Phoebus country has in the disputed territory."
Song Li pretended to shake his head, but he didn't explicitly refuse.
Santo could see that since Song Li did not refuse, he agreed to such an exchange, which was just too much to consider.
"That's it, Your Highness, how about I, the Phoebus Country, transfer all the post-war distributions to the Holy Lion Empire?"
Santo also gritted his teeth and gave up all the rights and interests distributed after the war, originally there was definitely not much in the Phoebus Country, but now it is all handed over to the Holy Lion Empire, and the Phoebus Country is not at a loss.
"That's pretty much it, but I have another request, from now on, Zoroastrians will be allowed to preach in the territory of Phoebus, as long as we agree to this article, we can sign an agreement Of course, the so-called missionary is just sending a few missionaries to your country to preach the doctrine of Zoroastrianism, and will not send Zoroastrians on a large scale. โ
Santo muttered a little, he had also heard of Zoroastrianism, it was the number one religion in the Rambis Empire, and it had almost overthrown Helen's rule, and now it was under the control of Song Li.
But Song Li said that he would not send believers on a large scale, just a few missionaries, and if he wanted to bring a few missionaries, he would not pose a threat to his rule.
"Well, I, Phoebus, promise. โ
Santo snorted helplessly, the so-called doctrine of weak countries and strong countries must be at a disadvantage, not to mention that the Phoebus country is not a loss.
"Hmph, Santo, count you ruthless"
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, McCann's mood became very unhappy, not to mention anything else, now in the post-war negotiations, the opponent of the Diga Dynasty suddenly changed from the Phoebus Kingdom to the Holy Lion Empire,
The problem is that the Phoebus country has received another 50,000 sets of equipment, which can almost be said to have arrived for nothing.
Now McCann is unbalanced again, what is the arms race, that is, the armaments that other countries have, our country must also have, McCann is such a psychology at this time, especially this time in terms of weapons and equipment, the Diga dynasty suffered a big loss, and he was even more unwilling to be left behind.
Originally, the Diga Dynasty had spent a lot of money, food and other materials in this war, and had just taken out a full 1.4 billion gold coins to buy 70,000 sets of equipment, and now they simply had no ability to buy them again.
"Song Li, my Dijia Dynasty also allows Zoroastrianism to preach, can you exchange it for another 50,000 sets of equipment. โ
McCann asked tentatively, but suddenly amused Song Li and Santo.
"McCann, are you kidding me, just allowing Zoroastrians to preach and want to exchange 50,000 sets of equipment"
Song Li sneered, and directly rejected McCann's tentative proposal.
McCann also knew that he was a little whimsical, and he was not annoyed, put on a pleasant face, and asked in a rare negotiating tone: "I just took out a lot of money, my Diga Dynasty really can't take out any gold coins, if we want to exchange for another 50,000 sets of equipment, you see what conditions are needed to exchange"
In fact, McCann has another layer of thought, that is, he knows that once Song Li dies, it is unknown whether such equipment can be made, and before he acts, the more he can exchange for some equipment, the more he can gain the upper hand in the future competition with other countries, even if it is worth it.
McCann's abnormal behavior made Song Li feel a little uneasy, even if the Diga Dynasty can't afford it now, but over time, with the national strength of the Diga Dynasty, it can be restored within a few months, and it will be the same if it is bought again when the time comes.
This war has exhausted the army of the Phoebus Kingdom, although the Phoebus Kingdom already has more than 100,000 sets of equipment in the Holy Lion Empire, but it can't train so many soldiers in a short period of time, and it won't pose any threat to the Diga Dynasty for the time being, it stands to reason that McCann shouldn't be so urgent.
Although he had doubts, Song Li was still slightly happy, at least for now, McCann's urgency for these equipment was beneficial to the Holy Lion Empire.
