Chapter 31 Phase II Tasks
Li Xiang likes the most, but unfortunately the Poles did not give him a chance to continue playing. Two days after the fall of Krakow City, Karl sent a message through Weizel: "The Polish minister made an appointment with me and the British, French and American ambassadors, and held a five-party talks three days later. The British, French and American ambassadors have agreed and at the request of Poland, it is recommended that the Self-Determination Army temporarily stop the offensive."
It is certain that the British and French ministerial associations attended the talks, but after the war, the United States, which pursued isolationism, even came to intervene. This is a great power in the Freemason.
Li Xiang asked Kar to do his best to at least ensure ownership of the Katowice region and the Krakow region.
"Your Majesty, let Karl inform the other four parties that the negotiation location is set at the Castle of the Vavel Palace to declare our actual control over Krakow." Xi suddenly raised his head and suggested.
"Good idea." Li Xiang looked very appreciatively and told Karl her suggestion. Karl also thought the suggestion was very good. The Poles do not understand what agreement they reached with Britain and France. If Britain and France agree that the negotiation location is set at the Castle of the Palace of the Vavel, it would be equivalent to directly admitting that Krakow is part of the upcoming Principality of Silesia, and the Poles' protests can be ignored.
Of course, Li Xiang would not participate in the negotiations in person, and the full power was left to Karl to handle. There is no doubt about Karl's loyalty. Li Xiang was very relieved. He was a professional and was born in the Junker nobles. He was capable and had a good background and status. Now, Li Xiang had a more important thing to do, that is, to stabilize the Katowice region. He handed over the issues in the Krakow area to the Jews to deal with. The Jews were very grateful to Li Xiang's trust. Not only actively mobilized local compatriots, but also spent a lot of money to hire mercenaries from Switzerland and the United States. The mercenaries were rushing to Krakow City, so the Krakow area did not need to worry. The first issue facing Li Xiang is to eradicate all threats from the Katowice region, completely control it before the formal negotiations begin, and firmly control this province with abundant coal resources in his hands, so Carl has more confidence to challenge the Poles.
As the saying goes, it is easy to fight territories, but difficult to stabilize. Although Li Xiang used the firepower, mobility and air superiority of Air Warrior and Land Warrior to defeat the Polish army, and controlled most of the German-inhabited towns in the Katowice area, including Katowice City, and Krakow, there are more than a dozen towns near Katowice in the hands of the Poles. Moreover, Silesia's ownership has not been decided in the past two years and the situation is chaotic, which has led to the rampant free army, dark creatures and bandits, and there are also many alchemists like Dimos who occupy the mountains and become kings. In addition, the ethnic problems that had not been solved before the First World War, it can be said that although the place is not big, the problems are as numerous as cows.
Xi assigned a plan for Li Xiang according to priorities. According to this plan, Li Xiang, led by Wei Zeer, first came to Coranto City.
The city of Coranto is a dungeon under the management of the dwarf Earl Fosta. Its population is mainly dwarfs and dwarves. It has the world's top metal fusion alchemy and puppet mechanical alchemy. It is an industrial city built on the mining and manufacturing industry. Through the trade cooperation with the city of Katowice, the city of Coranto relies on exporting coal and various machinery and puppets to make huge profits, thereby buying back rare metals and necessities of life. The quality of industrial finished products of Coranto is very good and has a high reputation worldwide, especially cutting-edge weapons and precision instruments, which are very popular.
The dwarves do not care about the struggles of various countries and always remain absolutely neutral. No matter who goes to them to do business, as long as the price is appropriate, they do not care about who the business is. In this city, as long as you abide by the rules in the city, the dwarves will welcome you. If these regulations are violated, they will face the alchemy weapons of the dwarves. The dwarves are all stubborn, and their criterion for judgment of outsiders is only abiding by the rules. It is precisely because of this that this place has gradually become the largest black market in China and Europe. The Free Army and bandits not only buy weapons here, but also the leaders of the Free Army and several evil bandits hiding in this city.
Although this city is under Li Xiang's territory, the power of the dwarves cannot be underestimated. Most of the dwarves are skillful technicians, and they are all in places with rich minerals, such as Ruhr, Dunbas, Kursk, Krivorog... All cities with dwarves. The dwarves are very united. If you offend any tribe, you will be rejected by all dwarves. Don't want to do business with them again.
In order not to turn against the dwarves, Li Xiang could only take some unconventional measures to eradicate several leaders and bandits of the Free Army.
...
"Ah, what did I see? There are such perfect alchemy armor in the world!"
Li Xiang and Ophelia and her group had just arrived at the underground passage leading to the city of Coranto, and a loud voice came from the side.
Li Xiang turned around and saw a strong man about 1.5 meters tall, muscular and bearded, running towards him. He ran to Sofia and carefully studied the armor on Sofia without any scruples.
When he found that the bearded man had no mercy in his eyes, he was simply happy to see the hunt. Li Xiang hurriedly told Sophia not to do anything and let the bearded man study.
"Strange, what kind of alloy is this? Why have you never seen it before? There is no alchemy array in carved, where does the power come from? The structure of the weapon is really strange, it is not as powerful as the alchemy array. "Which bearded man also made a burst of exclamations while studying.
"Short guy, are you finished?" Half an hour later, Ophelia saw that the other party had no intention of stopping, and could no longer bear it, so she called out to the bearded man impatiently.
The bearded man raised his head and looked around, finally looked down at Ophelia, reached out to prepare to pat Ophelia's head, and said in a hunch, "Don't mess around, little guy, I'll invite you to have beer later."
"Aiquet, stop Ophelia."
Unexpectedly, the purpose of this trip failed before it even started. Li Xiang hurriedly asked Equit to stop Ophelia's movements. She was drawing an alchemy array, ready to teach the dwarf who offended her a profound lesson.
Aiquet flashed to Ophelia, took her 5 meters away, and unraveled her.
Ye looked at Aiquet in surprise. This was the first time she saw Aiquet using her abilities, so she was very surprised that there were people in the world who were the same as hers.
After this episode, the dwarf finally stopped studying armor, but greeted Li Xiang, and smiled heroically: "Human, my name is Berg Manchu. Welcome to Corento. Please allow me to lead you to visit this city as a guide. I believe you will definitely like this city."
"Then thank you, Brother Berg." Li Xiang smiled and accepted the kindness of the bearded man. The dwarf's personality is very similar to that of the Germans. He is rigorous, real, diligent, serious, and serious. Moreover, as a foreigner, dwarfs usually suspect strangers and will only show full enthusiasm for those who win their trust and admiration. The bearded man takes the initiative to be their guide, and it seems that he is fascinated by the armor. Li Xiang also happily gets the kindness of a dwarf, which is undoubtedly very helpful for his trip.
