Chapter 22 Appeasement Policy [1]
The post-war negotiations in the Kingdom of Latvia continue, but obviously, this is not related to the life and death of Latvia. It's just a contest between two powerful countries. One is a regional power in the Northwest, and the other is a huge empire that has lasted for thousands of years. Relatively speaking, Latvia is just a bargaining chip. The rise of the Grand Duchy of Norman requires resources and a springboard, and the Roman Empire needs to maintain the majesty of its own empire in such a center. For small Latvia, there is no right to protest or oppose at all.
This is as early as Tiger. When House issued the suppression order, it was doomed. All the accompanying officials of the Roman Empire selectively ignored the bloody means of the Grand Duchy of Norman. Thirty-seven thousand people were hanged in Riga Bay, and the burned ashes could even fill the moat outside Riga.
"I don't think we need to worry about how many people the Latvian royal family will be deported. As long as the former King XV of the Kingdom of Latvia is successfully escorted to the imperial capital of the Roman Empire, it is enough. Isn't that what you expect?" Charles, a dead-faced old mage, exuded a gloomy breath all over his body, which made the negotiators of the Roma Empire very palpitate. After all, in front of him is a necromancer. It is said that he can make living people into a strong figure of zombies. Of course, maybe some people don't know, because this old bastard was too glamorous in those years. After being stabbed twice, the magic sometimes shines and sometimes doesn't work. Ma Hu even jokingly called him: This is really a flawed necromancer.
Although the old guy's words sounded very unpleasant, they were very honest and honest. The fierce breath of the Normans made these negotiators a little uncomfortable in an instant. After all, their previous negotiators were some people with status, education and status. You can imagine a gentleman negotiating with a hooligan, which is a very bad situation after all. It can only be said that the world is too small.
"But we can't go back with just one king, and please pay attention to your wording. You seem to have just said the former king of Latvia?" In the empire, there are many arrogant and even some narcissistic people. However, in the face of such a beautiful Norman Grand Duchy, it seems that these bullshit things are really not enough.
"Yes, what's the problem? If you think this stimulates your young heart, then I don't mind saying it again. Listen, from now on, the Kingdom of Latvia will no longer exist!" Charles's dead face exudes a dazzling brilliance. This old man has lived for decades, and now he is really beautiful and unprecedentedly arrogant. The feeling of being chased by the Holy See like a mouse was really bad and sad.
Being able to have such courage and firing gunpowder against a world's most powerful country at this time does illustrate a problem. If a person has confidence and self-confidence, he will not be afraid to face anyone!
"Are you threatening an emissary of the Roma Empire?" The messenger is obviously also a hot-tempered and impulsive person, especially when he sees that the other party is actually a necromancer, and he is still so fearless, he is even more unhappy. However, it seems that he still didn't quite understand the words of His Royal Highness Prince Ursula.
Fortunately, someone will tell him some small truths, that is, whoever has a big fist will talk!
"If to be precise, I'm threatening you! How's it going? Do you think you can go back to report to Prince Ursula now, and then go back to the empire and let your imperial army come to fight against the Grand Duchy of Norman? Hahahaha! Idiot! I can tell you responsibly that in the north, our Grand Duchess has already explained it. What are we going to do? We don't need to look at anyone's face! Now, idiot, do you understand?" Charles's vigor made the Normans very proud, while the other side was full of the burst of Roma. This kind of exciting way is really rare at the negotiating table.
However, it was obvious that the emissary of Rom also suddenly figured out the problem. Finally, he could only stand up angrily, and then slowly sit back, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.
This kind of negotiation, according to the usual practice, is to invite people from the Kingdom of Latvia, but now the Normans have killed people who are slightly rebellious to the Kingdom of Latvia. At this time, there will never be a leader! The Roma Empire has no choice but to face this situation.
The Latvian war is indeed a war of aggression, but who can stop the territory and food of the Normans? If this kind of thing is done, no one will know what horrible and crazy things the Normans will do under the leadership of the madman leader.
Even if the representatives of the Slavs came to inquire about the news, they only got ambiguous words, but at this point, no one knows what to say.
There are only two such things as compromise in the history of the Roman Empire. Once was the final battle between the two heirs to the throne in China. When one side had a slight upper hand, the other party lost its due confidence, so it compromised and asked to save himself and let the other party ascend the throne. This happened 500 years ago, but it also shows a problem that the people of the Roma Empire are really not easy to bow their heads.
And at this time, I have to choose. Because this negotiation is not so much a representative of the empire as to pave the way for Prince Ursula. The biggest winner of this negotiation is not sloppy or the powerful in the Roman Empire, but Prince Ursula.
Ma Hu just rationalized the original territory, while Prince Ursula obtained almost half of the energy in the imperial capital. As long as he operates properly, I'm afraid that the family of these attendants will soon become too fast! At that time, I'm afraid that the people in the imperial capital will really suddenly realize it.
And the most terrible thing is that Prince Ursula is obviously prepared much more than this. Tiger. In his private terms, House also promised to transport so many weapons and equipment to the port of Sardinia with half of the ships of the West Sea Fleet. What does this mean? It shows that on the plains of Apennine, the strength of His Royal Highness is much more than the low-key as those magnates of the Roman Empire see. Perhaps, someone should understand that in the past two decades, it seems that few lords' armies have been fighting except for Prince Ursula's army. Although Prince Ursula's opponent is only the pirate army in the Grand Sea. But it is definitely a kind of training, at least better than the armies of ordinary lords of the empire.
However, it is difficult and difficult to master the magician's army in the empire. The highest magic body of the whole empire is the magic council led by the Minister of Magic. Mike. Russell's energy can affect the distribution of power of all people in the empire. But now Prince Ursula also understands that magic is not omnipotent. If magic is omnipotent, then tens of thousands of magicians in Latvia will not even have a chance to resist and become prisoners of the Normans.
The Grand Duchy of Norman, no, it's Tiger. House, a mad dog, has tactics or means to defeat the magician. After knocking around, Prince Ursula faintly felt that this might have something to do with the enchanted armor created by the earthsmiths. Therefore, it cost nearly four million gold lira to buy a large amount of enchanted armor by private purchase. This is very effective for resisting junior magicians.
In fact, the main force of the magicians on the battlefield is mainly junior magicians. After all, not everyone can become a magician, and this talent requires a strong selection. In the face of this ** power, Prince Ursula had to choose a compromise. Even the conditions of the Normans have become excessive and harsh.
"Damn compromise!" The envoy shouted in a low voice, but he could only hold his breath and say nothing more. It can be said that most of the members of today's entire mission have been kidnapped into Prince Ursula's thief ship. This is the case with Tiger many years ago. What House did in the north was almost the same. It's just, Tiger. House's way is too barbaric. Of course, in the north, where almost only strength is paramount, Tiger. House's method is definitely the most correct. However, in terms of cleverness and timing, it is much worse than Prince Ursula. It's just that this does not prevent people from worrying about Prince Ursula. After all, the specific strength of His Royal Highness is still somewhat unknown.
I don't want Alex. As the eldest prince, it is absolutely logical in the order of the heir to the throne, not to mention that Alex has the hard power of the Northern Legion and takes the initiative in the struggle for the throne. Even if Prince Ursula has the armament of the Apennine fief, it is up to 20,000 to 30,000 people, and it is unknown how much advanced combat effectiveness these two or 30,000 people have. It also reflects the fact that the center of this empire has not been valued for a long time. I'm afraid there are not a few of those big families who wait and see.
What's more, the surrounding countries are also ready to move. The Slavic Empire has long been looking at the opportunity. At this jucrity, if it is fiercely given to the Roma Empire, it can definitely narrow the gap between the two countries. However, if His Majesty Nicholas I, the emperor of the Slavic Empire, knew that someone also wanted to give him a hard time, I don't know how it would feel?
It is almost impossible for the Normans to compromise. Tiger. What House did was nothing more than forcing the majority of people to conform to his will and then compromise with him. He did exactly what he did, and he did it perfectly. On the entire southern coastline of the Baltic Sea, there will never be a stronger strength and a country than him. Now there is also a duchy of Lithuania living there. As for the Gallic king, one of the so-called seven crowns, there is no need to pay attention to it at all. The reason why the folk forces in this world exist and exist for a period of time is that they still have a little suppression and concern for the huge empire. The role of the system.
Sloppy can even conclude that once the empire restores the authority of the center of power, these powerful folk forces will definitely be uprooted without any scum. This is the sadness of this small strength, and why Ma Hu doesn't pay attention to it at all after being threatened by multiple forces.
There are only three things he cares about now. First, how will the battle for the throne of the Roma Empire come to an end? Second, to what extent will the war in Pan-Scandinavia extend? I'm afraid that the contradiction between the Kingdom of Rildean and the Kingdom of Fairland will escalate further, but this has nothing to do with sloppy. Tiger. The central goal of the Northern Grand Duchy of Norman led by House is different from that of other countries. This is a seamless group, with both glory and loss. On the contrary, such an institution can exert the last energy of small countries on a large scale.
This has a frightening power. The aggressive Grand Duchy of Norman also relies on its strength to make the Roma Empire timid and afraid, so that it can only compromise without the support of the army of the huge empire. That's it, Tiger. Grand Duke House's prediction was still very accurate. He expected that this negotiation would be without the support of the powerful figures of the military of the Roman Empire. Even many people have regarded this negotiation as a shameful journey.
In fact, in the hearts of many people, it is already a shame. However, after returning to China, they still have to show the momentum of returning with glory. Bring King XV of Latvia to the center of the empire and seek political power for Prince Ursula, the supreme ambassador of the mission. There is no doubt that since the continuous setbacks of the empire, no hero can bear such heavy pressure. The veteran marshal and generals in the army can't, because they can only stick to one side again and try not to step into the political vortex. The atmosphere of the army is completely unworkable in politics. And the veteran politicians also do not have the mind and courage to maintain the last power and dignity of this empire. Because of a carelessness, they were attacked and criticized by their colleagues. How tragic and predictable the final outcome is.
No one wants to die at this time, so for those who have great ambitions and are detached from this empire and look at this country from the perspective of God, they have that kind of ability and strength. They clearly saw through the cowardly nature of this country. The once bloody bravery has long become rotten after a thousand years.
Let this rotten smell go with the wind. What we are facing is the re-emergence of a country.
It is really difficult to pursue the courage of the empire. Prince Ursula has such qualities and ambitions. People without ambition are also not suitable. His Royal Highness's eyes are poisonous, and he has reached the peak. At the same time, he can also infer from the vast news and random suspicion that the great demon king in the north has an unknown side. It can also be said that this may be the most capable of Tiger in the world. House, a man who threatens against the sky.
If a person is more intelligent, he is naturally close to a monster. Some people think that this metaphor is inappropriate, but it is precisely such a person who can produce different power and dominance. An empire, when it is about to fall apart, internal and external troubles, surrounded by strong enemies, is really a kind of sleep and food.
The person who holds the last glory of the aristocracy wants to rise, but he can't shake the intertwined forces of the huge family. Only when you are free outside the center can you gradually exert your ability. And a prince who is far-sighted on the Apennine Peninsula naturally has such a quality.
The empire's temporary connivance or concession could not make Prince Ursula feel so bitter. His game of chess was too big. It was so big that it was difficult for him to calculate the steps, and he had to start using too much free power, which led to the idea of incorporating all the marginal figures in the center of these big families under his command.
So there is such a God-given opportunity, whether it is Tiger. For Prince Ursula, House is still the best opportunity to prove himself or put himself on the stage of history.
In this world, it is not just a terrible ability to deal with. There is another person who can also influence the direction of this huge empire. Even if this empire has reduced half of its strength in the past thousand years, it can burst out the potential energy of terror in the future.
This is Ursula's expectation, and the absolute majority, the reason why smart people who have figured it out began to serve the Prince without hesitation. What's more, ambitious people are more than one or two men. On this huge central continent, many talented and brave people are waiting for a fire to burn out the rotten smell. The Holy See and the empire are all so rotten, which is unbearable. They want to burn it as soon as possible, and then feel comfortable. Just let the world refresh. What I get is the peace of the soul.
"This empire has finally come out with a character. Those who block Ursula don't know how to tragically become a stepping stone. The trend, once it surges up, there will always be one or two big people." His Majesty the Duke sighed that there was more or less a sour smell in it. This hero, at least in this sea, is a hero. Even if countless people are or about to hate him, it does not affect him from becoming a popular figure.
Eat Latvia fiercely, absorb it, and then make a storm in the northern Scandinavian Peninsula. In the end, the entire Western Legion of the Slavic Empire will become his biggest dinner. After the outbreak of this unprecedented sneak attack, who knows what kind of magical face such a man will face the world?
That is, like wisdom like Prince Ursula, can he hold back his inner fear and be indifferent to all this in a light tone. At this moment, only by strengthening yourself can you have the same capital as this devil. Especially when it is found that the ambition of this great demon king is beyond imagination.
