Chapter 18 Negotiations Begin [3]
The rest of the matter was left to a group of officials and deputies to operate there. Because of the great sense of difference, today's officials of the Roma Empire are a little embarrassed and uneasy in the face of the sudden outbreak and rise of the Normans. But Prince Ursula's decent words and superiors made them find excitement and pride again. This is a very important thing for negotiators.
Tamsalu City, Jasmine Hotel, accompanied by Bruce. Master Wayne, the young master of the thorny bird, his financial resources have definitely increased many times compared with four years ago. The only thing he sighs now is that he can't use up a lot of money. Yes, that's it. Who would have thought that he was with Tiger. After House, the bastard leader, not only was he not killed by a fork circle, but also had such an adventure and opportunity? Such wealth, not to mention a lifetime, can't be spent in ten lifetimes.
Master Bruce is slightly restrained. In the face of the strongest robber leader in the world, Bruce was once arrogant. Master Wayne still felt his awareness. When Prince Ursula on the side sighed that the city of Tamsalu did not lose to the capital of some provincial territories of the Roman Empire, he was also surprised that this once neglected place had become so rich. This is something I haven't thought about before. Whether in the past, present or future, the arrogance and arrogance of the Roma seem to be born with pride. Or, this inexplicable sense of honor has led to such a huge empire that has supported the Central Continent for more than a thousand years.
Although the smell of decay has made many people excited, some people know that the day of a makeover may come.
Prince Ursula hesitated for a moment and entered the Jasmine Restaurant under the escort of the accompanying military officer General Macro. Boss Ma laughed and said loudly, "I hope that Your Highness doesn't need to worry about safety at all. With me, no one in the world can hurt you."
"The Grand Duke is indeed a reassuring super warrior." Prince Ursula said sincerely. This is not a compliment, but the true feelings of Prince Ursula. After considering countless possibilities, I have to admit that the vulgar Mustway rural rich man in front of him is indeed one of the top masters in the world.
There are even rumors that even just. If Cole comes in person, it won't be Tiger. House's opponent, although the legend is a little unbelievable, just think about it. Cole alone called on almost hundreds of thousands of powerful mercenaries to form an army and resist, which made the arrogance of the Roma people also draw a rest. Such a degree of strength, if someone says it's just. Cole was defeated, so the first person to oppose it must be an arrogant and proud Roma, which does not need a reason. Perhaps it can be understood as the strange belief that Roma respect the strong.
However, if someone tells His Royal Highness Prince Ursula, the upstart man in front of him is completely general. Cole suppressed it, but I don't know how he will feel? I'm afraid you will be surprised that your mouth will be wide open.
Jasmine is definitely the largest in the north today, and countless Slavic chambers of commerce will rest here. The gate is a large courtyard, at least 2,000 people can eat together, and the food prepared can be provided for 2,000 people for half a month. Such a service also shows that this is the best place for tourists. Moreover, in the main building of Jasmine, there are countless beautiful delicacies, and there are countless wine. It is a strange gadget, and the best actress in the north. The singer dancer is even more amorous. The beautiful girl who wears exposed hotness throws a wink eye from time to time, which can make the man's bones crispy and clean.
Good place!
As soon as Prince Ursula stepped in here, he had such an emotion. Then, he continued to praise and said secretly: It is indeed an excellent place that makes people linger. Such a place spends countless expenses every day, but the money is also extremely horrible. Several popular and moon places in the imperial capital have a profit of more than 10,000 yuan a day. Looking at the scale of this restaurant, I'm afraid the best places in the imperial capital are not as good.
His Royal Highness's vision is unique, and he can see the essence at a glance. Yes, Jasmine is now a sloppy money ring machine. All the profits of the main store are earned by him. Only the new branches and five of the many shipping routes belong to Jasmine. Of course, this does not require anyone's consent at all. When Mr. Ma does this kind of thing, he has no intention to inform the old Feng Ke at all. Even, the old Feng Ke feels that this is the trust of the Grand Duke in their Jasmine family.
Fuck the trust, if old Feng Ke knows that this is just a sloppy taste, and he doesn't know how he feels.
Obviously, I have been taken care of today. There are not many diners in the court, but they are all well-faced people, either military generals or border governors. At the worst, they are also big businessmen who do business. There are countless contracts in hand, and many Slavs have also been put in. Doing such a thing carelessly is nothing more than beating the Slavs. Let those stupid and savage idiots know that the Slavic Empire is not the strongest in the world.
Facing the Roman Empire and Tiger. The negotiations between House, in the Slavic Empire, have long been a hot porridge. The Slavic soldiers who shouted to send troops to teach the Normans a lesson waved their fists very hard.
But when they heard that the Holy Light Knights of the Holy See were completely destroyed, the Slavs were silent. Their history is still the raging years of the Holy Light Knights, but they don't know that the Holy Light Knights are no different from a bubble of shit now. In addition to stealing chickens and dogs to deceive children, I have no ability at all. Even ordinary mountain thieves or thieves can kill their teams.
An army that needs to rely on a large number of people to complete tasks and missions is completely scum. Without discipline, no decisive ability, no adaptability, no firm fighting faith, completely a victim of fanatical religion. In addition to being cannon fodder, such an army can also stimulate people's sympathy, and the rest is simply a tragedy.
In the main building of Jasmine, there were many big businessmen who were ready to get close to it, but they were stared at by the bodyguards, and then left, but they didn't even have the courage to slander. Because these people know that even a dissatisfied look may be severely beaten by this group of crazy bodyguards. Even if they are killed, they can't say anything. Tiger. The ability and binding force of Grand Duke House is just to let the army fight for this country and this land.
"Prince of the Empire. High-ranking figures, as long as there is a contract deal, they will make a lot of money. The merchants sighed about something there, and on the aisle of the gate, several figures who seemed to be officials were pulled down by a group of businessmen, which was obviously a very good relationship. So they asked one after another, "What is the purpose of the Grand Duke?" How much of the profit here can be made?
The doorway of these people is also vast, which makes people surprised. Several accompanying officials were not in a hurry to follow up. They took a big table nearby in the court, pulled a chicken leg, and said slowly, "It seems that there is not much business this time. However, the grand duke's intention is to deter the Roma, and he will never let the Roma get any advantage. However, there is indeed a lot of news from our Ministry of Finance.
Several officials of the Ministry of Finance talked about it, but they didn't say anything. After drinking two sips of wine, he raised his eyelids and whispered, "If you still have spare money, you'd better go to Latvia to get rich." The Grand Duke intends to let Latvia be fully integrated into the territory. This negotiation is to let the Roma compromise.
For such a national event, if no one insinuates them to do so, I'm afraid the officials will not dare to say it. Such gossip and news spread extremely quickly. The housekeeper of the big businessman immediately conveyed his meaning, and many members of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly realized: Yes, the duchy is only four years old. If it wants to be strong and resist the coercion of the two empires, it can only increase national strength. The strength of the country is only land and population. Since the Kingdom of Latvia has been beaten down, it is natural to find a way to close it up.
Officials naturally don't care about this kind of thing, as long as they convey the meaning of some bastards. The businessmen also figured out a deeper meaning, so as to please the Grand Duke. Now it seems that the Grand Duke means to establish a career on the old land of the Kingdom of Latvia. If there is no mistake, this is to completely control the land of Latvia.
In this way, His Majesty's goal is far beyond the imagination of the Roma. It seems that there is going to be a big move this time. Businessmen are also extremely well-in-in-the-cheer information. Some chambers of commerce that have business with the empire are speculing about Tiger. The intention of Grand Duke House, in essence, is because of Tiger. House was sure that the Roma civil strife was imminent. He sat on the ground and did not let the Roma Empire have any resolute opportunity.
Once there is chaos within the empire, if you offend an obviously regional power in vain, then the gains outweigh the losses.
"Ah, so that's it! It seems that people who will make money from the sale of materials in Latvia are so excited!" People in the Chamber of Commerce have long been aware of this opportunity. After the defeat of the Latvians, many Latvian troops were sent to the border defenses to build fortifications, which not only let the Latvians know the strength of the Normans, but also know that the courage in the hearts of these Normans is definitely not so simple.
In the face of the countless armies of the Slavic Empire on the border wandering and provoking there, if it were the Latvian army, it would have been frightened. The Norman army, while laughing, also peeing and provoking at the Slavs. This tough style is really amazing. What's more terrifying is that when the team and the Slavic scouts encountered each other, they did not hesitate to attack and return to the garrison after annihilating the other party. The Slavic border guards have no evidence or reason, but they can only watch these scouts decrease day by day. It's really painful.
At the main building banquet of Jasmine, Ma Hu is drinking and introducing the toys and fun of Jasmine. Prince Ursula naturally does not refuse to come. Both of them are high-ranking people, and there is a natural meaning for this enjoyment. Most importantly, in this competition. Prince Ursula also knew a feeling that it was better to be straightforward than to beat around the big duke.
So, at the banquet, the two abandoned their attendants and met alone in the secret room.
"It seems that His Royal Highness did not come just for the benefit of the Roma Empire." There were thorns in the sloppy words, which naturally made Prince Ursula hear it clearly. His Royal Highness was not angry. He shrugged his shoulders, casually checked the room, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your Excellency is really very skillful." The meaning of his words naturally refers to the function of this kind of secret room, which makes people very surprised and ridiculed.
Ma Hu snorted coldly and said, "Now the four princes have their own advantages. I think it is impossible to be compared with the princes with the strength of the three princes. What capital do you have to compete with the princes for the throne?" Ma Hu was very puzzled. At least at this time, he still didn't understand that the prince in front of him did not have much strength and political capital, but obviously wanted to seize an empire.
The act of usuring the country is very unnatural. If you don't have a big power, there are too few people who rely on their great wisdom and power to do this alone. In this world, I haven't seen such a person, at least so far. But it is also undeniable that Ma Hu did admit that Ursula has that kind of potential. Smart, calm, able to think anytime and anywhere, and have a terrible tough personality, all of which make people feel a shudder. If Ma Hu hadn't been known as the king of the world, and he had been struggling in the world for so many years, he might have really trembled against such a high-ranking prince.
Fortunately, at this time, I am also a famous super strong man. Even if it is the strength of the army, not to mention the first in the world, the North is second to none, it will not waver.
And how to deal between the two empires, no matter which empire, there is no courage to act alone. This is what he is really proud of. If it is the previous Kingdom of Estonia, I'm afraid not to mention the bad relationship with the Slavic Empire. Even if it is a national war with the Principality of Narval, there is no absolute chance of winning. Now, the contradictions between the two countries and domestic contradictions are used as threats to make the Grand Duchy of Norman. The strength has expanded to the point that the two empires can't be suppressed at all. It can be said that this is really a desperate fact. However, it is very effective.
"You are very direct." Ursula nodded, and his smile at this time was also a little insidious, but he knew that this was just the man's ambition for such a huge empire and had nothing to do with him. Just like he is also an ambitious man, such a huge empire is a delicious poison for Ursula, who was once extremely close to the peak of power. It's delicious, but it can kill people at any time.
However, Ursula will not give up. Just like Ma Hu himself knows that he will not give up the pace of continuing his existence. Wouldn't it be too cowardly to be abandoned by such a dirty and messy world just like this? Therefore, such a world should be smashed fiercely, and then the order should be re-established, and I, who should be such a man, as an order-building person.
"Who doesn't like the throne? Men with a desire for power are coveted by the highest power of that huge empire. I just want to know what you want, and whether I can give it. Prince Ursula is also very frank, because at this time, all conspiracies and tricks and even wisdom are useless. Only pure strength and conditions can impress either of the two.
"Kingdom of Latvia! I'm going to make a finale!" He said coldly.
"This is acceptable. However, you have to give me the fifteenth king of Latvia. After all, this is related to the face of the huge imperial aristocracy. They will not tolerate a negotiation without dignity. Ursula understated it, sat down, pinched the teacup and was about to drink tea. Suddenly, he put it down and then looked up and said, "As for the king's arrival in the empire, as long as he goes through the process of the aristocratic council, I can guarantee that the fifteenth generation will die."
"This guarantee is very cheap, but it is very reasonable." He nodded carelessly and said, "I need the official text documents of the Roman Empire, and then open the trade between the two countries, and allow trade between the Grand Duchy of Norman and the Roman Empire. All this needs official guarantee. Can you do it?"
Ursula frowned slightly and thought about something in his heart. He measured it, and then said, "Well, I promise I can do this."
After a moment of silence, Ursula asked, "Aren't you curious about what I need?"
Ma Hu sneered and looked at Ursula. The tall Ma Hu looked at Ursula coldly, and then said in a low voice, "10,000 sets of hardcover armor, gobler handwriting. If necessary, as long as you want, a group of 20,000 thieves will be active in the north and northwest of the Roma Empire. At that time, the eldest prince Alex's Northern Legion will not be able to draw. At the same time, half of the fleet of the West Sea Fleet will bypass the Grand Sea, arrive in Apennine, and dock on Sardinia. As for your specific requirements, you can ask someone to give me a list.
Seeing Ma Hu talking like this, Ursula was shocked. At first, he thought that such a man, such a pure warrior, should at least have a counselor or staff to advise him. Now it seems that it is not the same thing at all! This man has that kind of strength and ability! It turns out that such a guy has such a shocking insight.
"The written compensation of the Grand Duchy of Norman is two million gold dinars. In fact, according to the business situation, the Ministry of Finance of the Grand Duchy of Norman purchased goods such as cloth, cattle and sheep, living utensils and magic props of the Roman Empire." Ma Hu continued to say.
Then he took a look at Ursula and said, "This kind of treatment should be a very simple thing. It's not difficult for you."
Ursula can be said to be completely shocked at this time, holding the teacup and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Ma Hu looked at him doubtfully and said, "The tea is not poisonous. Don't worry about drinking it."
Prince Ursula took a sip at this time, and then whispered for a long time, "It should be a very painful thing to be your opponent, right?"
Hearing the question, he responded coldly and said, "Not bad."
