1404 The Heroes (3)
"Now that His Majesty has agreed, then we can discuss the details of the next step in the alliance!" Juliersforberg clapped his hands again, and one of his subordinates brought in a small yellow wooden box and placed it respectfully on the table,
"And the details? Are you talking about the conditions?" the fat man was a little stunned, he was thinking about what Julie L'Fort was for, since he gave himself such a big weight, he naturally wouldn't ask for nothing!
"Of course, the family is willing to take out an archon as a bargaining chip for marriage, how can it also need some return! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a condition!" Julils Fort did not hide his intentions,
He took out a small bronze key engraved with complicated patterns, inserted it into the key port of the box, the card, and the mouth of the box made a sound of a secret lock opening, and the fat man's eyebrows twisted slightly, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, this time it's not a human head!" Julils Fort smiled kindly at the fat man with a strange face on the opposite side, and took out a animal skin scroll from it in front of the fat man.
The dull leather has a heavy smell of nitrification and drying, and the two ends of the main shaft are inlaid with golden foreskin, and as the scroll is spread out on the table, a picture about half a meter long and wide appears in front of the fat man's eyes,
A map, as for where it is, there is almost no suspense, in the northwest of the Obaro continent, the fat man has already seen the boundary line painted in blue, and more than a dozen pieces of large and small have been drawn,
At the top of the map, it is painted red, which should indicate the area that is still fighting, the area near the interior of the Gallic Empire is green, and the northwest coast is gray, which seems to represent the vassal state,
And this area is the northwest coast where he will rule, the fat man's eyes are shining, and the vast coastline is exactly what the empire needs
Julils Fort smiled across from him and said, "I guess Your Majesty has guessed it, yes, this is what the family has spent countless efforts on decades. The map of the entire northwest region, even within the empire, does not have such a detailed map of the northwest, which is regarded as a top secret in any family, with this map, the cities, roads, mountains, and rivers in the northwest region are almost clear at a glance, "Your Majesty is also a soldier, the importance of this map does not need me to explain it, with it, it is equivalent to holding the key to open the entire northwest region!"
Julilsford's face was solemn, "But unfortunately, this is where the danger comes from!" "What do you mean by this?" The fat man was stunned for a moment. He heard a faint anger in Julill Lesford's tone,
Julill Sforborg's voice paused, his face became stern, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Because the family has undergone some changes in the past few years, its status at the top of the empire is not as good as before, and its dominance over the northwest has also weakened.
Therefore, some guys who eat inside and out, see the wind and steer the rudder, openly and secretly throw themselves into other families in the empire. There is even our enemy side, which is a dangerous signal, if the family is indifferent to this, then more forces will reach out"
"That's true. This is the way things are in the world, as long as someone starts and gets benefits, there will definitely be other people who will also try it" The fat man nodded affirmatively. Agree
"That's the most troublesome part!"
Julils Fort's face was heavy, and he said with a little coldness, "The family originally wanted to take care of these guys personally, but this year's consul recommended it. So that the family can't pull out for the time being,
And the obstruction from within the empire and the war in the northwest also allowed my Fifth Army to be crucified in the Slavic region,
His Majesty may already know that my family has recently received terrible news from an insider who has been lurking in the enemy for many years, "The biggest push that pushed me to this position, apart from my family, came from the family's enemies!" And His Majesty the Emperor was well aware of this, but he did not stop it in the slightest!" "In this way, you have been isolated by the upper echelons of the empire and your emperor!" A sharp light flashed in the fat man's eyes, he finally knew why Julilsfort was desperate to come,
It's really burning eyebrows, there is no way to do it, although the empire is large, it is probably the Falcon Kingdom overseas that is relatively safe and independent, even if something really happens to the Juliels family, at least there is a Falcon Kingdom as a place of refuge, this is almost all preparing for treason at any time, if Julilsford does not come in person, others can't believe it
"Hehe, His Majesty is really a smart person!"
Julils Fort said in a cold tone, "I, the Julils family, have fought for the empire for sixty years, experienced three full generations, killed countless frontier people, and laid down more than 2,000 miles of land in the northwest for the empire, but this is the treatment I get."
Julils Fort said in a disdainful tone, "It's really chilling to say, they plan to use the Northwest Slavic region to drag me and the family's attention, and then eat away at the family's foundation step by step! Without the backing of the Northwest Territory, the Julils family will not have enough to fear!" "What do you need me to do?" The fat man is not confused, since the other party has frankly admitted the current predicament, and he has thrown out an archon, he must ask for a big thing." With the northwest coast as the center, the suppression of the entire northwest region is realized, and the family hopes to rebuild a suppressive force belonging to the family in the northwest region! This quid pro quo is not too much!" Julilsford's voice trembled a little, his eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and the corners of his mouth said with a wry smile, "Why me?" The fat man's eyes were sharp like knives "It is said that the Julils family has several good young generations in the northwest region, and they all have a certain strength, isn't it better to support them directly" "They ...... I can't look at it!"
Julils Fort shook his head disdainfully, and directly said that throughout the entire Northwest Region, there are only a handful of people who can make Julill Fort look at him, but most of them are famous veterans, although the younger generation is famous, but judging from the list of people who transferred to me last year, it is just a false name, and the most important thing is that you are the only one who has the strength to suppress the Northwest Region! In just two months, you were able to slaughter millions of Normans in Vicchia's Falcon! To be honest, your current reputation is quite notorious in the Northwest! It is almost on par with me in the Slavs! To suppress the Northwest, who else has this ability! Fierce fame, known as the Eagle of Destruction of the Nation!" Julilsforberg laughed, as if he had found a confidant
The fat man is depressed, is this also a compliment?
Outside the hall, Foreign Minister Lidarchus was talking in a low voice with several subordinates, and opposite them, the members of the Julils family were quiet, with a stern face, and the hood on their heads was removed.
This time, the Julils family sent several heavyweights in charge of military equipment, commerce, and finance, to make an assessment of the trade, economy, and military equipment of this possible new ally, which is the family's practice.
It's a pity that so far, the only thing the assessment team has seen is a lot of unspeakable sea fleets.
Many people felt a little difficult to deal with, and the atmosphere was very depressing, and finally a gray-haired financial officer sitting in the first place, stood up and walked to the foreign minister Lidakus opposite, and whispered, "Lord Lidacus, can you take a step to speak?"
Lidarchus knew the old man, and during the initial introduction, Julils Hayden mentioned that it was Gregory, the treasurer of the Julils family, and he knew very well why the other party was so anxious
The two walked to the balcony outside,
"It's presumptuous, but can I inquire about the Falcon Kingdom's finances?" said Gregory with some hesitation
"Lord Gregory, what are you ......" "This is my professional habit!" Gregory's face blushed slightly, it was a very presumptuous thing to ask about the finances of other countries so bluntly, but this was his task, even if the other party gave it a fake, "I need to ask His Majesty about this before I can reply!" Lidarchus hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently, "Of course, this is how it should be!" Gregory nodded,
Lidakus turned and walked to the hall and whispered in the ear of Besukaya at the door, Besukaya walked into the hall, and after a while came out and said something to Lidacus, who walked to Gregory, who was waiting anxiously on the balcony, and said in a kind tone
"Your Majesty agreed, as long as it doesn't involve too deep a secret, we are happy to tell our allies some of the truth, and we also want to know about your family's financial situation, I believe it will be good for both parties to understand!"
"Of course, reciprocal exchange is the usual practice......" Hearing Lidarchus agree, a hint of joy flashed on Gregory's face, and the two quickly talked together, under the fat man's prior instructions, Lidarchus's finances for the kingdom shrunk by half, and also specifically indicated that the empire is currently in a negative deficit, in order to provide the 20 million money for the purchase of slaves, the Falcon Kingdom has already smashed the pot and sold iron,
Gregory's face was unmoved, but he carefully recorded the numbers, and from the room, there was a burst of laughter belonging to Lord Julietsford, and he could feel that the negotiations were successful, and he was just here to complete a task. Seeing that Gregory was so light, he opened his mouth, and the other members of the assessment team found the corresponding reception staff, but they each collected the relevant numbers.
"You say, is this kind of conversation, full of lies, worth recording?"
To the right of these assessors, there are two middle-aged men who are sitting in a serious position, sitting motionless in their seats with straight waists, one of them is a man with flaxen hair and a stout figure who swept across the assessment team with a sharp gaze, revealing a trace of disdain, and it can be seen from their sitting posture that these are two soldiers,
"You don't understand, even if it's a lie, it has the value of a record!" The companion sitting next to him smiled, "Are you really stupid for these guys? These records are used to hand over to the family, as long as Julietsfort approves it, some of the other branches don't matter at all, after all, that's a matter of family strategy at a higher level."
