Chapter 364 Treaty of Troyes (Part 1)
When the defeated troops of Luo Lin's army fled into Lixi City in panic, they left behind a lot of baggage.
Thanks to the baggage thrown away by Luo Lin's army, the soldiers of the Central Route Army and the West Route Army no longer have to worry about the problem of military rations.
The "Xia Feng" offensive has reached this point, and it is no longer necessary to use force.
Now it's time to use your tongue and talk about "peace" conditions with the Luolin people who have been beaten down.
After defeating Luo Lin's army on the Feihai Plain, the three armies that successfully joined forces surrounded Lixi City, preventing Baer and others in Lixi City from coming out, and reported this huge victory back as quickly as possible. Pendragon, told the Central Committee of the complete victory of the "Xia Feng" offensive.
After the central government learned that most of Luo Lin's 250,000-strong army had been disabled, His Majesty Gozewen, Jacob and others were overjoyed and immediately sent a large amount of meat to the southern front to reward the frontline soldiers who had successfully defeated the "Xia Feng" offensive. At the same time, an eloquent civil servant was sent to Tuli, the imperial capital of the Luolin Empire, to hold talks with the Luolin Empire and talk to the fool queen of the Luolin Empire about how to return the two countries to "peace." .
The civil servant who was responsible for going to the Luolin Empire to negotiate with the Luolin Empire was none other than Go Zewen's confidant, Bancro.
Bancroft is the civil servant who is most trusted and reused by Gozevin besides Jacob.
Bancro is good at military affairs. Any matter regarding military affairs, Gozevin will discuss it with Bancro first instead of Issel.
The general strategy of dividing the "Summer Wind" offensive into three armies, responsible for the main attack, auxiliary attack, and feint attack, was drawn up by Bancro.
In addition to being good at military affairs, Bancro was also an excellent diplomat who was eloquent.
Since Gozevin re-employed Bancro, Bancro has been on the diplomatic field and has gained many benefits for the Britannia Empire.
Therefore, Gozevin left Bancro with full responsibility for this extremely important negotiation with the Luo Lin Empire.
For this important task, after Bancro happily accepted the order, he immediately led the envoy group to Tuli City, the capital of the Luolin Empire, as quickly as possible.
…
Tuli City is a map of the Rollin Empire, and it is also the largest city in the Rollin Empire. Like Pendragon in the Britannia Empire, it is also a megacity with a total population of more than one million.
The palace of the Luolin Empire has been continuously renovated for several generations. In terms of luxury, the palace of the Luolin Empire has reached an astonishing level.
The main hall in the palace is as magnificent as the appearance of the palace.
However, in such a magnificent hall, there is an air of gloom and twilight.
The civil servants and generals standing on both sides of the hall all lowered their heads slightly, their faces covered with layers of haze. Everyone's face was full of loss, pain, and numbness.
The person sitting on the throne in the main hall is none other than the current queen of the Luo Lin Empire—Queen Bella.
Bancro led several envoys and strode into the hall.
As Bancro and his party entered the hall, there were two translators.
Unlike the civil servants and generals of the Luo Lin Empire who had gloomy faces in the hall, Bancroft and others all had confident smiles on their faces, and they were full of aura that was not found in anyone else in the hall. of vigor.
After Bancro led the envoys and saluted Queen Bella who was sitting on the throne, Bancro began to carefully look at this idiot queen who was famous for her stupidity and enjoyment. .
Queen Bella is 38 years old this year, but it seems that because she takes good care of herself, she looks like she is only 25 or 6 years old.
Queen Bella, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was sitting upright on the throne. Although she was trying her best to hide it, Bancro, who was keen, still noticed that Queen Bella was nervous and scared at this time.
Even at such a distance, Bancro could still clearly see Queen Bella's fear and nervousness.
And the hands that kept shaking.
Looking at Queen Bella's appearance, Bancro couldn't help but let out a sneer that only he could hear.
If we had not been so short-sighted at the time, if we had been more alert at the time, and sent the 200,000 troops guarding the imperial capital circle to join the war, we probably would not have been so embarrassed to sign an unequal treaty with us.
——After Bancro silently mocked this idiot queen in his heart, he cleared his throat and began his usual opening remarks.
After telling a very official opening remarks, Bancro went straight to today's topic.
"Our Britannian Empire is a peace-loving country. We have always hoped to establish peaceful and friendly relations with other surrounding countries. Our Majesty does not want this war to continue, so I hope that Bella Your Majesty, can you agree to our peace terms so that our two countries can return to peace."
The translator translated what Bancro said into Luolin word for word.
After listening to the translator's interpretation, many of the civil servants and generals standing on both sides of the hall clutched their clothes tightly, gritted their teeth, and their faces were full of grief and indignation.
It was obvious that the two large-scale offensives of "Spring Awakening" and "Summer Wind" were initiated by the Britannia Empire, but Bancro said that the Britannia Empire seemed innocent.
These people wanted to yell "Shameless!" at Bancro, but they still resisted the urge.
After all, they currently do not have enough confidence and courage to confront the envoys of the Britannia Empire who had just beaten their country's army very miserably.
After listening to Bancro's high-sounding and shameless words, Queen Bella sighed softly, and then said softly:
"What are your peace terms? Tell me..."
"There are only two." The corner of Bancro's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "First, to compensate for the various losses of the Britannia Empire, the compensation amount is 3 billion pounds; second, the cession includes All the territory north of Lixi City, ah, of course, including Lixi City.”
As soon as the translator finished interpreting Bancro's words, everyone in the hall, including Queen Bella, immediately looked at Bancro with shocked eyes.
The first one is okay to lose money, but the second one is really unacceptable.
Cede all territory to the north including the city of Lixi? !
This means that the northern defense line of the Rollin Empire, which was built with a lot of manpower and material resources, will be completely surrendered to the Britannia. It also means that the Rollin Empire will lose a quarter of its territory!
Moreover, the territory north of Lixi City is not an ordinary territory. The area north of Lixi City is one of the richest areas in the Luo Lin Empire.
If all the territory north of Lixi City is really ceded to the Britannia Empire, then the fiscal revenue of the Rollin Empire will undoubtedly take a big hit!
