Chapter 20 Next Port [2]
Greed is one of the original sins, but Tiger House and his lackeys don't mind going on like this. Land and population are an urgent need of the Normans in the period of expansion of the great era. No one can stop this trend, no. This is a great change of the times.
There has been friction on the border, and the conflicting Norman army has not lost its spirit. The goal of the country is so ambitious that although they are only soldiers at the bottom, they also know it clearly. The Roman Empire has been ruined and corrupt, and the Slavs can no longer continue to deploy their bravery. The only thing left is the Normans, which is a new force.
In the ninth year of Tiger House I, this is a change.
After the New Year, the negotiating team finally got in touch. What happened a month ago still produced a very strong aftermath. Many people have suffered a blow, and there are many people killed and injured. I'm afraid the real headache in this world is the conflict. The haze and threat of war have been maintained at the top of the head, giving people It's hard to extricate myself.
"This damn weather!"
Cursing for this bad weather, Charles added a little hot water to his stove, which made his hands feel warm, not too bad.
A fire basin has been placed in the room for a long time, and many people are surrounded. The poor people in the Dark Court are now just an official in the Norman Kingdom. It's amazing, that is, an intellectual who wants to subvert religion or something has no chance at all. In the kingdom, you can believe in religion, but you can't be fanatic.
And there is an upper limit on the number of people in each parish. This makes Father Paprov, who has become the Pope, a little confused, but he has to admit that with such a state religion, it will not make people confused. It is a good thing to have faith. Isn't it?
"The Danerland people are really unlucky."
It seems that it is difficult to calm down his luck. After the death of a chief minister, the whole Kingdom of Danerland was obviously caught in a kind of rampage. This is a good thing. For many generals, this is indeed a good thing. Okay, it can't be better. Isn't it?
It seems that the navy has seen the end of the victory, and the people of the army headquarters are slapping the table and scolding. Although now in the defense budget, the army is equipped with warships, the number and level are more than one grade worse than the strength of the navy.
And the return of the military headquarters is also magnificently arranged with the legendary marine forces, which is simply provocation. The dispute between the navy and the army has become a cultural conflict. The concept of the two armies is: Won't I live without you?
Even several commanders of the army are scolding each other. The kingdom's daily court meetings, once the issue of the military department is involved, the face of the defense minister Warhammer Saxon is like a pig's liver color, and there is no good mood at all.
The ridiculous Gang Cole occasionally makes a few jokes, which is really an unlucky world.
"The naval sentry has found traces of the Danerland warship. It seems that there will be an encounter soon."
Charles's adjutants are all there to judge. For them negotiators, the outcome of the war is very important. There is no doubt about the importance of being able to influence their judgment and even the momentum on the negotiating table.
It depends on the speed of little Saxon. It seems that this time, inside the kingdom, I really want to make a big deal!"
Charles sighed, rubbed his chin, and then looked elsewhere. Snowflakes piled up outside the window. Cheap glass replaced the former window paper, and the expensive glass that made people headaches would no longer be wasted like this. The snowflakes flutter, which makes people think a lot.
If the winter land war is an adventure, then the winter naval battle is really an act of self-harm. You know, not everyone can withstand that kind of pressure and harsh environment. If you are not careful, your fingers, ears and nose may be frozen off. This is very easy, but soldiers need merit, honor, and gold coins one after another to expand the land that is getting wider and wider.
The army is a melting pot, which can turn people into bastards and supermen.
"If you want to annihilate it completely, it may be impossible, but if you want to do it seriously, there should be no problem. Little Saxon has the latest charts in his hand, and there is no problem in that area.
Some arrangements of the Admiralty will still reveal some news and rumors, so that the negotiators can also have a very strong prediction when negotiating. The estimated time and news of victory are the elements for people to go all out.
Although this negotiation is just a scene, the Normans' chips have also been highlighted. Only the group of Norman idiots are still thinking about whether General Brestan can bring them victory?
What a ridiculous idea. Even Deniz of the Kingdom of Nordland lost all. How can these poor people still want to win? Aren't you afraid of being laughed off?
"Winter Port, there is no problem at all. We just want this port. With the Winter Port, even after fighting the Danerland people, we still have spare time to expand. With a transit station, it is not difficult to land directly land on the Sukgrand people."
In the staff, a group of think tanks are pointing out, and they have estimated all this in advance. As long as there is no accident, I'm afraid that in the Spring Festival, you can swagger on the streets of the Winter Port, which will become the Sea King colony of the Norman Kingdom, a very important free port, and a frozen port.
The importance of the ocean, because of the top-down effect of Tiger House, also quickly makes people discover the importance of the sea. Although ocean-going trade is not yet, it can indeed make a fortune in short-distance transportation. The pleasure of earning a large number of gold coins really made countless businessmen take risks and go to the sea.
The merchant ships in the Baltic Sea are now waiting for the victory of the Kingdom Navy. In that way, they can quickly stay in any of the five major ports without worrying about anything.
For this credit, the Army Department also keeps saying that they have the ability to form combat effectiveness in the Port of Winter and organize a certain amount of troops to clean up, which sounds like a good thing. But the Admiralty is a little unhappy. However, no matter how much he quarreled or quarreled, after the next day, Charles led the negotiators to start the negotiations.
In the council chamber, representatives of both sides exchanged national letters and had a confrontation based on a series of things.
"There is no doubt that we have reason to believe that your country has hostility to its own country in behavior, which is very insecure for our businessmen. I think we must exchange views on this issue for a long time."
Charles is cunning. What he said is all dispensable nonsense. The coldness in his eyes is even more full of people to think that this old guy is prepared. In fact, the Normans only have only one idea to fool this group of idiots. As long as they win a game, they can play with it as much as they want. It's not important. It's like.
"What?! Cut off the harbor of winter? Are you kidding!"
After the negotiator of the Kingdom of Danerland opened the national letter, the content changed his face greatly, which was simply a great shame. The Normans said that they wanted to give in without any reason at all, and also attached three port leases. This kind of unreasonable and barbaric negotiation makes the other party very uncomfortable.
"Isn't there any sincerity in your country, the king of your country? Unreasonable and unconditional cession of a port? And it is the most prosperous winter port in the north? This is a frozen port, the best military port, a joke!"
The patriotism of the Danerland people soon broke out, but I don't know how long he can stick to such integrity. Charles just sneered, still sneered, "Well, let's buy Winter Harbor. Is there a problem? Let's make a price."
It is still that indifferent expression. The negotiators on both sides have rich expressions and extremely bad faces. The arrogance of the Normans really angers them. This is not a negotiation at all. This is plunder, undoubtedly plunder.
"Buy? Hahahaha... I didn't expect it. In my opinion, there is indeed no sincerity in your country at all. What you have to wait for is a victory. Will this victory increase your chips? But, don't forget, it's not only Normans who have a navy, and there are also many warships in the Kingdom of Danerland!"
Suddenly, the negotiators of the Kingdom of Danerland seemed to be full of confidence. But Charles still had that indifferent expression: "Let's make a price. We're here to negotiate. It's the same as doing business. We make a price, and you bargain. It's a very simple thing. You don't have to be so nervous, let alone think about torture and complicated. As long as the conditions are right, everything is negotiable."
The role of Charles's dead face can be seen at a glance, which makes people hit the air with a fist. There is still nothing they can do. They don't have the ability to stop anything at all.
"You!!!"
The negotiator suddenly got angry and stood up: "You have gone too far!!"
Charles smiled and spread out his hands: "Ex too much? Maybe? Don't you know the current situation? Our negotiation is just a pass. I'm afraid that your Majesty King Dolton II also ordered you to do so, right? Is there also hope on the brain-watering General Brestan? Don't worry, such a fool will only bring us some unexpected wonderful situations, not that you want to win, but the ending has long been doomed?
Power, absolute power. The hegemony of the Normans was immediately reflected.
This is strength, this is power!
