"Marquis Descartes, we meet again." Count Didamance looked at Marquis Descartes with a smile, and his smile was profound.
Marquis Descartes could only smile bitterly in his heart. After bowing to Count Didamans, he turned directly to Xu Yi.
"President Xu, I am here on behalf of the empire this time with absolute sincerity. If your New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom have any conditions, you can put forward any conditions. We can all sit down and discuss it carefully. Even if there is..."
Xu Yi raised his hand to interrupt him, and then nodded to Miss Soliel who was standing next to him.
Miss Solier took out a document from her bag and handed it directly to Marquis Descartes.
"This is the armistice condition proposed by our Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yi glanced at Marquis Descartes, who was staring at the document in a daze, and explained.
Marquis Descartes reached out to take it, only to open it and take a glance, then immediately exclaimed: "This is impossible!"
The beginning of this armistice agreement actually requires that the Candela Empire be completely open to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to interfere with any economic activities within the Candela Empire, nor does it have any jurisdictional power.
If the Candela Empire agrees to this condition, it will be equivalent to allowing a monster to enter the Candela Empire.
With the current strong business capabilities and development potential of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Candela Empire really does this, Marquis Descartes can fully expect that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to come close to completely controlling almost everything within the Candela Empire without much time at all. Magic industry related industries.
For the current continent of Sainz, the magic industry is crucial to any country.
If the Magic Industrial Industry is controlled by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it is almost the same as the Candela Empire being controlled by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
How could the Candela Empire agree to such conditions
However, when Descartes continued to look at the other conditions, he found that in comparison, the first condition was barely acceptable.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the third condition.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce actually proposed that all research related to military magic machinery be banned within the Candela Empire!
God be damned, now all the countries in the Sainz continent are aware of this. Military magic machines are the key to determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.
If the Candela Empire gives up researching military magic machinery, wouldn't it mean that the Candela Empire will always be passively beaten on the battlefield in the future - just like it is now being suppressed and beaten by the coalition forces of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Luersun
This means that the Candela Empire may forever lose hope of turning around and completely lose its capital as an empire!
"President Xu, these conditions are too much."
Because of the last experience. Even though Marquis Descartes was trembling with anger at these conditions, he still tried his best to control his tone and did not directly rebuke.
"Don't ask us, the Candela Empire, to agree to such conditions. I am afraid that no other country on this continent would be able to agree to it."
"On the contrary." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Before you, our Chamber of Commerce has signed almost identical agreements with seventeen countries. Among them are the Kingdom of Windsor and the Dominion of Tural."
Hear the terms "Kingdom of Windsor" and "Dominion of Tural". All the members of the Candela Empire envoy, including the Marquis Descartes, turned red instantly and their expressions were full of anger.
The so-called "Kingdom of Windsor" and "Tular Dominion" are actually the southern provinces and Tular Province of the former Candela Empire.
After the southern province declared its independence, the Governor-General, the Duke of Windsor, directly announced the establishment of the Kingdom of Windsor and became the first king of the Kingdom of Windsor.
Although the province of Tular was merged into the Principality of Standing, after a resolution by the National Assembly of the Principality of Standing, the application for autonomy of the province of Tural was approved, making it the autonomous dominion of Tural and nominally included in the Principality of Standing. Leadership, in fact, is now governed by a joint meeting within the Tural Province.
And almost all the members in this joint meeting have very deep connections with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He was even a representative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so everyone knew that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was behind this joint meeting.
In other words, there is no problem if Tural Province is counted as a territory under the name of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi mentioned the Kingdom of Windsor and the Dominion of Tural at this time, which was a slap in the face to Marquis Descartes and other members of the envoy, making them naturally feel extremely bad.
But even so, Marquis Descartes suppressed the anger in his heart with all his strength, and tried to say to Xu Yi in a calm tone: "President Xu, I think neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the senators in the Council of Elders will agree to this condition. . I also hope that you can seriously consider and propose some more realistic conditions, right?”
Xu Yi blinked: "Does that mean you don't agree?"
"You can't say that. We can still discuss it slowly." Marquis Descartes heard a hint of unkindness in Xu Yi's tone and immediately added. "If your New Flying Chamber of Commerce insists on this condition, then I have no way to make the decision. I can only report these conditions to His Majesty the Emperor and the Council of Elders and let them discuss and make a decision."
Xu Yi looked at Marquis Descartes with a half-smile: "Yes. But Marquis Descartes, I must remind you that I will only give you a week at most to consider it. If it exceeds this time, I will not guarantee it."
Marquis Descartes lowered his head and looked at the armistice agreement in his hand. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, then turned to look at Count Didamance.
"Count Didamans, I think your Luersun Kingdom has already prepared an armistice agreement, right?"
Count Didamans smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and an official from the Kingdom of Luersen handed an agreement to Marquis Descartes.
Marquis Descartes simply did not open the agreement and read it. Anyway, he did not dare to agree to any of the conditions of the armistice agreement of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so it was meaningless to discuss the armistice agreement of the Luersun Kingdom here.
And everyone knows that the key to the truce lies with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce cannot be defeated, even if an armistice agreement can be reached with the Luersun Kingdom, it will be of no value.
No matter what, he had to take these two armistice agreements back and hand them over to His Majesty the Emperor and the Council of Elders before they could make a decision.
Although Marquis Descartes knew in his heart that His Majesty the King and the Council of Elders would never agree to such outrageous conditions, it would be good to delay it for one more week.
The counterattack the Empire is preparing will take time. If we can delay it for one more day, the power of counterattack will be stronger.
As long as time lasts long enough, the empire still has a chance to counterattack.
The Candela Empire's envoy lingered in the city of St. Antonis, which had been occupied by the Lu-Xin coalition forces, for two days before leaving seemingly reluctantly.
According to Marquis Descartes. After they return to Wimbledon City, they will immediately report the armistice conditions proposed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Luersun to His Majesty the Emperor of the Candela Empire and the Council of Elders, and then strive to give a clear answer within a week, hoping that the new The Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom can suspend the war during this period and wait patiently for good news from the Candela Empire.
"Hey. President Xu, this Marquis Descartes is really a stalker. With his delay, the buffer time we have left for the Candela Empire has been extended by three days." He watched as he disappeared into the distance. The Kandra Empire envoy, Count Decamance curled his lips and said to Xu Yidao beside him with a look of disdain. "Believe it or not, a week later, he will definitely come back with two agreements that have been changed beyond recognition, and then he will do it again. In short, he will delay it as long as he can."
"That's not surprising." Xu Yi shook his head. "The Candela Empire definitely hopes to delay it as long as it takes. They also have strong confidence in the so-called empire's foundation. They think they can slowly wear us out. But they don't know that if this delay is continued, we will actually become stronger and stronger. , they are only getting weaker.”
Marquis Decamance laughed: "These idiots still refuse to recognize the earth-shaking changes brought about by the magic industry. They think they can suppress us everywhere with this ancient and backward empire. They are really stupid. It’s amazing. They must not have imagined that although we spent a lot of money fighting this war, we only made more.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that not only the nobles of the Candela Empire, who were full of traditional and outdated ideas, could not understand this truth, but even before that, many senior officials of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could not understand it. So much so that they were worried and even panicked about the huge economic pressure that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would put on it after joining the war.
However, this is not the case at all.
At the beginning of the war, the investment the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce made for this was extremely terrifying. Even just last year, it invested a total amount of funds and various resources in various aspects with a total amount of more than 200 million gold coins, so much so that it gave Xinfei The normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce was almost affected.
But as the war situation gradually deepened. After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Lampali Kingdom and the Luersun Kingdom to fight back against the two empires and achieved increasingly significant results, the situation changed dramatically.
The main reason is that through countless victories, cracks have appeared within the two imperial camps.
After realizing that the regular armies of the two empires, coupled with powerful figures like the Magister, could not withstand the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce coalition forces, many countries that originally belonged to the two empires' camps privately expressed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the idea of re-cooperation.
However, almost all of the nearly 100 countries that had maintained a neutral attitude before, accounting for more than half of all countries in Sainz Continent, gradually changed their attitudes. Beginning to lean toward the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After the coalition forces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Luersun captured the city of St. Anthony, within three days, as many as twenty-four countries sent representatives to contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and expressed their tendency to cooperate.
As a result, the situation in the entire Sainz Continent is now completely different from the two imperial camps that were overwhelming each other when the two sides started the war. On the contrary, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce camp has obtained more than two-thirds of the entire Sainz Continent. country's support.
With this support, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's business activities, which had been greatly affected by the war, are close to full recovery.
Outside of battles, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still relies on its powerful magic machine manufacturing capabilities to continuously earn large amounts of gold coins.
Moreover, through victory on the battlefield, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the opportunity to control a large number of precious resources in the Candela Empire, and the value contained in this is even more difficult to estimate.
So in fact, both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom made a lot of money from this war.
As for the two empires, in addition to the two empires themselves, only the Magic Kingdom of Mana and the Kingdom of the Dero Clan, which are unable to reconcile with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, are still insisting, and their momentum is naturally not as good as before.
In this situation, Xu Yi certainly has enough patience and confidence to leave some space for the Candela Empire.
If the Candela Empire is wise, then he can save a lot of effort. (~^~)
