The Grand Duke of Florence has no right to refuse.
He certainly didn't want the country he had ruled for 30 years to become a vassal of another country, or even a puppet. However, if he didn't become this puppet, the existence of the Duchy of Florence might become a problem.
Even if it can still exist at that time, will it be his family who notified Florence
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
The infamy is on your own shoulders. He was very old, and when he died and his son took over the country, maybe things would change.
After all, Schindler just wants a country that has just risen. Although the momentum is very fierce, under the rule of Dane, a violent king, he even dares to challenge the Holy Empire, the most powerful country on the mainland. But in any case, it is not a good thing for a new country to dare to be so arrogant.
Schindler, he thought, would pay for it. And when Schindler can no longer exist, maybe his son can truly rebuild Florence.
With this in mind, the Grand Duke of Florence chose to surrender unconditionally, and signed his name and stamped his seal on the surrender document, nailing himself forever to the Duchy of Florence. The pillar of shame.
Just for a little 'hope'.
…
After the news that the situation of the Principality of Florence had been settled, the five-country negotiations in the Silver City began to make some substantial progress.
This is also Dane's instruction. There will be no substantive progress in the war, and of course there will be no negotiations. What Dane thinks is that the talks should be made after the situation in Florence is settled, so that the most benefits can be won.
Florence's diplomatic ambassador has been removed, and countries that have surrendered unconditionally have no need to say anything at the negotiating table, and their fate is no longer up to them to decide.
After another week or so, the negotiation finally came to a final result.
The "Silver Agreement" was released.
The main contents of the treaty are as follows:
One, the five countries declared a truce.
Second, the Duchy of Florence must maintain its independence, but at the same time it is required that the Duchy of Florence is not allowed to have its own army, whether it is a navy or an army. The defense and security of the Principality of Florence is jointly guaranteed by Schindler and the Holy Alliance, while economically, it must be directly supervised by the Kingdom of Schindler.
3. The Earl of the Bull was separated from the Duchy of Florence, and the Earl of the Bull was retained. At the same time, he accepted the canonization of King Dane and became the Marquis of the Kingdom of Schindler. The Earl of the Bull officially became an independent territory, called the Marquis of the Bull.
Fourth, all countries must recognize the status of the Kingdom of Schindler, and all countries must recognize the internal affairs of Schindler, which are freely controlled by the Schindler government. All kinds of resources can be traded freely, but the trade situation must be determined by the country. Government supervision, other countries shall not interfere without authorization.
Fifth, a series of 'mutually beneficial' trade treaties were signed between the Kingdom of Pudri and the Kingdom of Schindler. The main reason is that an official figure has been agreed on including mineral resource transactions, raw material transactions, and grain transactions. In actual trade, the price ratio of the transaction shall not be lower than the minimum figure agreed on the agreement. It is worth mentioning that this figure is almost the market price of transactions in the center of the mainland.
There are other messy agreements, but those agreements are generally not too important.
The release of this agreement is indeed of great significance to the peace in the eastern and southern parts of the Orodik continent. The "Silver and White Agreement" is the product of games and compromises between countries. It is true, but it is precisely because of this that countries have invested a lot of effort in this matter, and they are all sincere. Just plan to throw away the garbage agreement.
After fighting this battle, Schindler needs time to lick his wounds and digest the spoils. After the Holy Victoria Kingdom lost half of the Victorian Knights on the southern battlefield, although they were very angry, they were always facing the threat of the orc tribe to the east, and they didn't have the strength to continue this war.
The Holy Prome New Empire is huge, but they have more enemies. The Evert Federation, which does not believe in gods, believes in magic, and believes in truth, is their eternal enemy; the ancient knightly country, the Phekrosas Empire, is a traditional ally of the Evert Federation. On the Gold Coast, they and the Holy Empire have a direct conflict of interest. The relationship between the Holy Empire and the Shire people is also not good. They tried to invade the Shire continent just over ten years ago, but they were repulsed in the end. As for the so-called 'foreign races' of the Druids, elves, dwarves, and barbarians in the Northern Alliance, they are as difficult to deal with as the Holy Empire.
When the surrounding area is full of enemies, they want to continue to quarrel with the Schindlers, but after all, there are two countries, Pudri and Florence, and they can't spare too much energy and energy to come over. , can only jump up and down during the peace talks, put pressure on the Schindlers, and support Victoria and Pudry.
They had a certain influence on the outcome of the agreement. For example, the large amount of war reparations that Schindler demanded from Victoria and Pudry were all messed up by the Holy Empire. Of course, in the original treaty, Pudley and Victoria also wanted to ask Schindler for war reparations, which is of course impossible.
As for Pudri and Florence, the latter had already surrendered unconditionally, and of course it was impossible to continue fighting. The Pudley Kingdom was also wounded. More than half of the main force of the coalition forces wiped out by Patience and the combined fleet by the giant dragon came from Pudley. After losing such a large number of troops, the Kingdom of Pudori was also unable to continue the war. You know, the Pudli Kingdom and Florence are also neighboring countries. If the war continues, the Pudori Kingdom may be the next Florence.
Queen Susan Bella did not want to be reduced to signing the unconditional surrender like the Grand Duke of Florence.
I don't want to continue fighting in many ways, compromise with each other, and give a sincere result. This is the reality.
As for the victor of the war, the final result represented by this treaty is of course beneficial to Schindler.
The government of the Kingdom of Hindler, represented by Dane, is not the kind that will sign a treaty that is not beneficial to itself after winning a battle!
