Chapter 17 Negotiations Begin [2]

The reason why negotiations are called negotiations is that there must be talks to continue to communicate. Otherwise, the two sides can only break up unhappily. Of course, it is not a problem for two ambitious leaders at all. In a sense, Tiger. His Majesty the Grand Duke of House and His Royal Highness Prince Ursula have the same purpose. Their greatest ambition is nothing more than on the road of domination, and there is absolutely no second person who continues to dictate to them. That's it.

"The Kingdom of Latvia is our vassal state."

Prince Ursula said calmly. His eyes stared at the front, leaving the focus distracted. I don't know when, his eyes returned to the negotiation table, and then gently pinched the handle of the white porcelain quilt. After thinking for a while, he took a shallow sip of tea. Feeling the elegance of the fragrance of tea, he couldn't help nodding and said, as if this was the most beautiful delicacy. The negotiators beside him also took a sip unconsciously, but felt a bitterness in their mouth.

Looking at these poor people who followed the trend, I couldn't help sneering and said secretly: I don't know why this is not a reason, and I will let that guy deal with it. Although it is a very simple question, why do I feel restless?

Stress, it is really the best medicine to cheer people up. Prince Ursula said in his heart.

"But not now."

The same plainness, but a little more arrogant and domineering. However, Ma Hu himself has the capital to be arrogant and domineering, which makes people slightly surprised, but more is the arrogance in his eyes. Indeed, the Roma Empire at this time will never be the same as 500 years ago. When there are forces oppressing vassals in the surrounding areas, it will be suppressed. This empire, today's ability, is no longer enough to maintain all his majesty. Even this rotten empire has exuded the smell of rotten meat all over its body, making people hide their faces and can't wait to leave far away.

It's just that the leech locust lying on the huge thing needs to suck the last bit of blood. For these huge families and nobles, this is the only reason why they are willing to continue to serve the empire and offer a little motivation and ability, which is also the fundamental reason why they maintain that the empire will not collapse in an instant.

It was when Prince Ursula saw this that he gave up this precious throne many years ago. Because he had long expected that such a country would be difficult to continue. The continuation of Frank I is simply an ironic farce. The power of this world can no longer tolerate a huge amount of energy being squandered there. In particular, such an empire has such a rich and rich place. Those wealth and materials are mouth-watering. Look, the Norman Grand Duchy on the border, I don't know how many years ago, was still a trembling bastard, but now it has revealed its minions and has begun to take the lead.

Maybe there were people who hesitated and worried before, but now, the behavior of the Normans, the behavior of the empire, undoubtedly tells everyone one thing, that is, it is just different from the past. Today's empire is obviously strong and middle-in-out. Whether it's any negotiation or garrison, if there is no real decisive force, these are all false and indifferent. And obviously, some people can see through these at a glance.

"Hehe. Tiger. Lord House, I think we need to be honest. You should know that the empire needs a decent land, and you... need a land that is stable and without threats. Prince Ursula smiled, crossed his hands and fingers, and his chin was held by the back of his hand. He said calmly, "Hand over the fifteenth of Estonia to me and let me take him to take refuge in the imperial capital. In this way, the dynascent of the empire can be preserved. Even, I can promise a large amount of wealth, although, maybe you don't feel it. Interested."

Ursula's eyes were full of the usual self-confidence, which made Ma Hu a little unhappy. He curled his lips and looked at the side without talking for a long time. Crocker looked carefully at all the accompanying officials of the Roma Empire around him, and then secretly thought to himself that according to reason, some officials at the top of the empire should be sent, but obviously, none of the people here were high-level officials. However, from the perspective of their behavior and temperament, they also have some status. It's really difficult to understand.

After all, Crocker was once the left prime minister of the Kingdom of Estonia, and his judgment was very sharp and accurate. Indeed, he did sense the inadequacies of all Prince Ursula's entourage. Although he did not point it out at the beginning, Ma Hu's eyes lit up at this time. He suddenly savored the identity of these people. Many people have been backed up for a long time and have been investigated, only three generations of ancestors have not been investigated.

Boss Ma combined everything together, reminding him of the two messengers sent by Prince Ursula a few months ago. Coupled with his analysis of the power center of the Rom Empire, he suddenly became enlightened. His judgment was extremely accurate about Prince Ursula, that is to say, this prince was also against Rom. There is not much loyalty in the empire!

This is really a fucking irony! Ma Hu commented in his heart.

The reason why he commented like this is that the emperor of the Roma Empire has not died for a long time, and now it seems that his own brother is about to pry the cornerstone of his country, which is really a headache.

This guy is definitely more dangerous than any Roma. He is the real opponent!

Ma Hu was slightly shocked in his heart. From the beginning, he underestimated and disdained the whole Roma Empire. Up to now, there is such a dangerous and scary opponent. I have to say, it still shocked Ma Hu. The feeling of strength and invinity in the whole process is indeed a difficult thing to explain. Sometimes, Ma Hu even feels that no matter from any angle, it seems that this empire and the world are just a foil. Only at this time, when the clear sense of crisis came back to his mind, he was shocked. Although the sense of urgency made him sweat a little, he was also extremely happy.

Yes, I'm happy. He was happy that he did not continue to sink. If he still keeps the previous cliché and calm, I'm afraid he may be overshadowed one day. That day, if it is still so lazy, it may really come soon.

"It seems that there is such a high-looking opponent who can also stimulate the soul that is not so galloping in the end, and continues to be active and energetic. Oh, the role of Prince Ursula is really eye-catching. My existence seemed so abrupt from the beginning. The whole world is backward and somewhat contemptuous. But now, I really want to look at it. Naturally, no one knows the entanglement and struggle of the sloppy inner world, but all this also shows a problem, that is, Tiger. The Grand Duke of House himself is still a human impulse and worry. He is not a god, without reason and anger, just like a machine.

Prince Ursula observed the expression on his sloppy face. From the beginning, the Grand Duke flashed with countless expressions, which was a little amazing. But soon the Grand Duke regained his composure and turned into a kind of calm and harshness, as if the world had returned to his hands again.

This made Prince Ursula a little nervous. He tightened his heart and secretly said: It seems that this guy is more difficult to deal with than the legendary one, and there is no way to see through him at all. His thinking is unthinking and there is no trace to follow.

Unfortunately, if Prince Ursula knew that Ma Hu was just thinking or worrying about this and that, and he didn't know what his expression would be, I'm afraid it would be extremely rich.

"Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about? If the fifteenth generation is handed over and Latvia regains such a little sad power, is it the disrespect for the whole Norman generals. Is their fighting and efforts so worthless? This is not a war launched according to my will. This is an extremely just war for the Normans!" Tiger. House's speech has always been domineering and shameless, which amazed Prince Ursula.

However, His Royal Highness was obviously in a good time. He smiled calmly and said, "But... Grand Duke, it seems that you have forgotten a little. In this rule on the central continent, if you want to start a war, you should at least take note of the Roman Empire, the suzerain."

However, sloppyness is more shameless than the Ursula phenomenon. He sneered and asked without hesitation, "Your Highness, I would like to make a note. Unfortunately, it seems that your majesty has no new successor in your country. Who should I contact? It's not always the first time. If the new emperor of your country doesn't ascend the throne for a day, I won't send troops for a day. Is there such a reason? What's more, Your Highness, if garbage like the king of Latvia stands in front of you and provokes you, do you have any reason to stand there waiting for his master to speak? Is this still like the character of a pure warrior, an excellent warrior? I will never allow myself and my men to do this. Or die! Or fight!"

The righteous words of these words can't find any flaws at all. But Prince Ursula can hear some meanings from these words. It's very simple. This ice tiger requires more than just a little compensation. He has a big appetite. He wants to turn the occupied area of the Kingdom of Latvia into a place of actual control. In this way, the whole Norman territory will be doubled. With the verbal or written promises of the Roma, even if they tear their faces, in legal theory, the Normans will stand still. This is undoubtedly a spiritual fulcrum for the outbreak of war between the two sides.

Obviously, the savage Tiger. House is not only a savage body, but also his wisdom should not be underestimated. Prince Ursula felt that he was dealing with an old fox who had been politically immersed for many years. Even the most evil, despicable and shameless old guy in the imperial capital, I'm afraid there is no Tiger. House had so many crooked intestines, and he accidentally fell on his way, and there was no place to cry.

The deputy envoys didn't hear the taste at first, but felt that the two were there to seek the best interests of the whole negotiation. It was only for the interests of both sides, but after hearing it, I slowly came back. Not only old politicians like Crocker Charles and even Catherine, but also Norton the taenos, have realized how complicated the deep meanings of the two people are. The horror in his eyes was not covered up at all.

At this time, old guys like Charles and Crocker really felt how horrible was the person they once wanted to control, and they still wanted to control it? It's so stupid to get home! The four words are extremely stupid, which are absolutely inseparable.

For good, the last thing was not so tragic that it was unacceptable. People like Crocker can still be appointed as a consultant. As for Charles, a dead-faced and unruly scum, he can also become the magic minister of the Grand Duchy of Norman, which also illustrates a problem. In Tiger. In the eyes of Grand Duke House, whether a person can be reused has almost nothing to do with his character. What this bastard Grand Duke values is only the value and ability of this person, and even the so-called potential, he doesn't take a look. Just like a high-potential person like Pringley Jr., it is impossible for him to win a high position before he is trained, even if Old Pringley wants to do so.

This also fully illustrates the benefits and retreats of meritocracy, so that those who are not very virtuous can have the moment to give full play to their talents. It is not as complicated as the Roma Empire. To some extent, the bureaucrats of the Roma Empire have been rotten and rigid at the time of selection. The origin of the family, their respective influence, and even the spread of the contacts have profoundly affected the appointment of such officials. It is not so much appointing a person as appointing a human relationship and a marginal figure of a vested interest group.

This is the reality, ** nakedly kills the appearance of all possible geniuses. Here, the population is only one-sixth of that of the whole empire, but there are so many amazing figures. The most terrible thing is that such a leader actually made the most confident person in the empire faintly feel a burst of pressure, and the slight cold sweat oozing from his forehead is really a very rare sight.

This may be the legendary pressure.

"I really didn't expect that his judgment would be so strong. What kind of opponent did the empire get into? If I can, I really want to kill him now. However, this is an impossible task at all. Prince Ursula sighed in his heart. He now understands why Alex chose to give up on the border line, and why Alex watched the Holy Light Knights die directly without saving him. Rather than Alex preserving his strength, Alex also felt the strength of this new force. He was also maintaining such a favor. The day he retreated to the Minsk Dominion as a last resort was the day he established diplomatic relations with the Normans.

It turns out that Alex, the little guy, is also looking for a way out.

Prince Ursula praised in his heart, and he suddenly found that it was indeed a troublesome thing to underestimate people.

"Ah, la, la, la, it seems that we need to get back to the peak state to deal with these guys. It's really not easy to worry about. One new force after another is struggling there. The days of the empire are getting worse and worse. In order to reach the throne, there are so many people flocking to the throne. Some people know that they can't, but they have a try. This opportunity, even if it is only one in ten thousand, will make people risk one thousand or even ten thousand. Ha ha, I'm not like that." Prince Ursula's greatest wisdom is that he can not only see through the ambitions and desires of others, but also the most terrible thing is that he can clearly know that his desires and ambitions can also eradicate his own shortcomings to change and cover up his ambitions.

Of course, all this is in Tiger, who is also an ambitious man. In House's eyes, it's useless. All this, the cover-up of all this, seems so boring.

The competition between the two excellent men is not the survival of the fifteenth king, nor the survival of the Kingdom of Latvia, but a kind of luck on this continent. Prince Ursula just tried his best to bring this luck back to the hands of the empire, although it was so difficult. Even among his group, except himself, the people around him did not seem to be aware of such luck.

Only superb people like him are cold-eyed, but they don't compete for anything.

If he is not a member of the Roma royal family, maybe he will do the same, but he can't. As one of the three princes of the empire and a royal family, he has reasons to do it, although he himself is equally disgusted.

"I think that based on the fact that this problem is too big and too extensive, it's better to let our deputy envoy and many accompanying officials have specific discussions on all aspects. Your Highness and I might as well attend a small banquet and have lunch together."

Boss Ma smiled and said to Prince Ursula. It seemed that the grand banquet yesterday did not exist. It is said that the Roma are the people at the banquet, which seems to be true. Even such a monarch likes to solve the problem at the banquet.

I heard that this man is also completely evil with the Holy See. It seems that he is an arrogant person who is tough to the bone. However, this kind of arrogance is really something that countless people are throwing their blood for. What a crazy and violent era. I don't know when such a day and trend will be able to stop? Prince Ursula flashed many thoughts in his heart, but he finally smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It happens that I'm also a little weak. I hope to drink a cup of the best rum brewed by Scandinavians. I hope you won't be stingy.

"Hahahaha... Anyway, with me, the wine must be enough!"
