Chapter 135

"Marquis Descartes, we meet again." Earl Didamans looked at Marquis Descartes with a smile, with a deep meaning in his smile.

Marquis Descartes could only smile wryly in his heart, and after paying respects to Earl Didamans, he turned directly to Xu Yi.

"President Xu, this time I am here on behalf of the empire, with absolute sincerity, if you have any conditions from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you can put forward any conditions, and we can all sit down and discuss it, even if there is... "

Xu Yi raised his hand to interrupt him, and then nodded to Miss Solier who was standing beside him.

Miss Sorell took out a document from her bag and handed it directly to Marquis Descartes.

"This is the truce condition proposed by our Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yi glanced at the Marquis Descartes who was staring at the document in a daze, and explained.

Marquis Descartes reached out to take it, but only opened it for a glance, and immediately exclaimed: "This is impossible!"

In this armistice agreement, the opening chapter actually requires the Candela Empire to be completely open to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is not allowed to interfere with any economic activities of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce within the Candela Empire, nor does it have any jurisdictional power.

If the Candela Empire agreed to this condition, it would be tantamount to allowing a monster to enter the Candela Empire.

With the current strong commercial capabilities and development potential of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Candela Empire really does this, then the Marquis of Descartes can fully predict that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to close to completely control almost all of the Candela Empire. The magic industry related industries.

For the current Sainz continent, the magic industry is very important to any country.

If the magic industry is controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is almost equivalent to the Candela Empire being controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

How can the Candela Empire agree to such a condition.

However, when Descartes continued to look at the other conditions behind, he found that in comparison, the first condition was barely acceptable.

If nothing else, just talk about the third condition.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually proposed that all research related to military magic machinery be banned within the Candela Empire!

By God, all countries on the entire Sainz continent are now very clear. Military magic machinery is the key to determining the outcome of the battlefield.

If the Candela Empire gave up research on military magic machinery, wouldn't it mean that the Candela Empire would be in a passive position on the battlefield forever—just like it is now being suppressed by the coalition forces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom?

This also means that the Candela Empire may lose hope of turning around forever in the future, and completely lose its capital as an empire!

"President Xu, these conditions are too much."

Because of last experience. Although Marquis Descartes was trembling with anger from these conditions, he still tried his best to control his tone and did not directly reprimand him.

"Don't say that our Candela Empire agrees to such a condition. I am afraid that it is impossible for any other country on this continent to agree."

"On the contrary." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Before you, our Chamber of Commerce has signed almost identical agreements with 17 countries. Among them are the Kingdom of Windsor and the Dominion of Tulare."

Hear the terms "Kingdom of Windsor" and "Dominion of Tulare". All members of the Candela Empire envoys, including Marquis Descartes, instantly flushed red with anger.

The so-called "Kingdom of Windsor" and "Dominion of Tulare" are actually the southern provinces of the former Candela Empire and the province of Tulare.

After the southern province declared its independence, the governor, the Duke of Windsor, directly announced the establishment of the Kingdom of Windsor, and became the first king of the Kingdom of Windsor himself.

Although the Tular Province was merged into the Principality of Standing, after the resolution of the National Assembly of the Principality of Standing, it agreed to the application for the autonomy of the Province of Tular, making it the Autonomous Dominion of Tural, nominally belonging to the Principality of Standing Leadership, in fact, is now governed by a joint meeting within the province of Tular.

And almost all the councilors in this joint meeting have a very deep connection with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It was even a representative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so everyone knew that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was behind the joint meeting.

In other words, there is no problem with Tular Province being counted as a territory under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When Xu Yi mentioned the Kingdom of Windsor and the Dominion of Tulare at this time, he slapped the Marquis of Descartes and other members of the diplomatic mission twice, making them naturally feel extremely bad.

But even so, the Marquis of Descartes suppressed the anger in his heart with all his strength, and tried to speak to Xu Yi in a calm tone: "President Xu, I don't think either His Majesty the Emperor or the elders of the Council of Elders will agree to this condition." I also hope that you can seriously consider it and put forward some more realistic conditions. Everyone has room for discussion, right?"

Xu Yi blinked: "That means you don't want to agree?"

"You can't say that, everyone can talk slowly." Marquis Descartes heard a trace of unkindness in Xu Yi's tone, and immediately added. "If your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce insists on this condition, then I have no choice but to report these conditions to His Majesty the Emperor and the Council of Elders, and let them discuss and decide."

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 maximum of one week to think about it. If it exceeds this time, I will not guarantee it."

Marquis Descartes looked down at the armistice agreement in his hand. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, then turned to look at Earl Didamans.

"Count Didamans, I think your Kingdom of Luerson should have already prepared an armistice agreement, right?"

Earl Didamans smiled and clapped his hands, and an official of the Rulson Kingdom handed the agreement to Marquis Descartes.

The Marquis of Descartes simply didn't open the agreement to read it. Anyway, he dared not agree to any of the conditions of the truce agreement of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so it is meaningless to discuss the truce agreement of the Luerxun Kingdom here.

And everyone knows that the key to the truce lies with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot be dealt with, even if an armistice agreement can be reached with the Luerxun Kingdom, it will be of no value.

No matter what, he had to take the two armistice agreements back to His Majesty the Emperor and the Council of Elders for review before making a decision.

Although Marquis Descartes knew in his heart that His Majesty the King and the Council of Elders would never agree to such an outrageous condition, it would be good if it could delay for an extra week.

The counterattack the Empire is preparing will take time. If it can be delayed for one more day, the counterattack will be stronger.

As long as the time is long enough, the empire still has a chance to counterattack.

The envoys of the Candela Empire spent two days in the city of San Antonio, which had been occupied by the Lu-Xin coalition forces, before they seemed to leave reluctantly.

According to what Marquis Descartes said. After they return to Wimbledon City, they will immediately report the truce conditions proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom 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. The Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom can suspend the war during this period of time, quietly waiting for good news from the Kendela Empire.

"Hey, President Xu, this Marquis of Descartes is really a stalker. Being delayed by him like this, the buffer time we left for the Candela Empire has been extended by three days." Watching him disappear into the distance The Candela Empire envoy, Earl Dikamans curled his lips, and said to Xu Yi 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 do it again, for as long as he can."

"It's not surprising." Xu Yi shook his head. "The Candela Empire definitely hopes to procrastinate as long as possible. They still have strong confidence in the so-called empire's foundation. They think they can slowly consume us to death. But they don't know that if we continue like this, we will actually become stronger and stronger , they only get weaker and weaker."

The Marquis of Dikamans laughed: "These idiots are still unwilling to recognize the earth-shaking changes brought about by the magic industry. They think that this ancient and backward empire can suppress us everywhere. It's really stupid. It’s terrible. They must not have imagined that although we spent a lot of money in this battle, we only earned more.”

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking about this truth, don't say that the nobles of the Candela Empire, whose minds are full of traditional and old ideas, couldn't figure it out. Even before that, many high-level officials of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce couldn't figure it out. As a result, they were worried or even panicked about the huge economic pressure that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce brought to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after its participation in the war.

In reality, however, this is not the case at all.

At the beginning of the war, the investment made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for this was extremely terrifying. Even in the past year, it has invested a total amount of more than 200 million gold coins and various resources in all aspects, so that it gave Xinfei The normal operation of the chamber of commerce was almost affected.

But as the battle gradually deepened. After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Rulson to achieve more and more remarkable results in the counterattack against the two empires, this situation has undergone a great change.

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 and a powerful figure like the magister could not withstand the attack of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's coalition forces, many countries that originally belonged to the two empire camps expressed privately to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the idea of ​​re-cooperating.

However, almost all of the nearly 100 countries that had maintained a neutral attitude before, accounting for more than half of all countries in the Sainz continent, have gradually changed their attitudes. Began to lean towards the side of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After the coalition forces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom captured the city of St. Anthony, within three days, as many as 24 countries sent representatives to contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

As a result, the current situation in the entire Sainz continent is completely different from when the two sides started the war and the two empires were crushing. On the contrary, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp won more than two-thirds of the entire Sainz continent. country's support.

With these supports, the commercial activities of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which were greatly affected by the war, have almost fully recovered.

Outside of the battle, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still earns a lot of gold coins by virtue of its powerful magic machinery manufacturing ability.

Moreover, through the victory on the battlefield, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has taken advantage of the opportunity to control a large number of precious resources in the Kandela Empire, and the value contained in it is even more difficult to estimate.

So in fact, whether it is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or the Luerxun Kingdom, they have all made a lot of money in this war.

As for the two empires, apart from the two empires themselves, only the Kingdom of Mana Magic and the Kingdom of the Dro tribe, which cannot reconcile with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, are still insisting, and the 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 Kendela Empire is sensible, then he can save a lot of effort. (~^~)
