The Mirage Kingdom finally signed the peace agreement. They agreed to all the demands of the Tang Kingdom and compensated the Tang Kingdom for 300,000 workers and 100 million gold coins.
Everyone knew that Mirage could not afford that much money to compensate Tang, but Mirage still had to sign the peace treaty.
In addition, the Mirage State was forced to become the first country in the world to recognize the Tang State's destruction of the Qi State. They recognized the Tang State's occupation of the Qi State, and even submitted a humiliating petition urging Tang Mo to proclaim himself emperor.
.
The Great China Empire was first of all very dissatisfied with this petition, because Zhao Kai absolutely did not want to see a so-called empire appear on his national border, and an emperor who was equal to him in status.
However, the Binghan Empire later issued a statement, hoping that Tang Mo would proclaim himself emperor and change the name of the Tang Kingdom to the Tang Empire.
I don’t know what direction the consideration was in. This method of selling Tang Mo’s favors without any substantial investment, while at the same time creating quarrels between the Great China Empire and the Tang State, was regarded as a game by many countries.
Everyone knows that Mirage was the first country to persuade Tang Mo to proclaim himself emperor because he was forced to do so. Mirage was actually one of the countries that was least willing to let Tang Mo proclaim himself emperor.
But the situation is stronger than the people. The Mirage Kingdom has been overwhelmed by the Tang Kingdom's battleships and cannons, so they can only act as Tang Kingdom's mouthpieces and honestly speak for Tang Kingdom according to Tang Kingdom's wishes.
In addition, they still owe the Tang State 100 million gold coins, and they must repay this huge sum of money as soon as possible.
In fact, the Mirage Kingdom had no money to repay its debts. They bloodbathed Beiyuan City in order to repay Cyric's debt. Where could there be any spare money to pay compensation to the Tang Kingdom?
Therefore, most of the money from the Mirage Kingdom must be converted into goblin slaves, and then the equivalent compensation will be paid to the Tang Kingdom to offset the war compensation.
It is obviously unrealistic to only use slaves as equivalent compensation, and the Mirage Kingdom cannot afford so many people to waste - they also need to replenish the troops lost in the battle of Beiyuan City, and resume production. People are needed everywhere.
, it is simply impossible to capture slaves on a large scale.
Theoretically, every time the refugees are persecuted into slaves to pay off debts, the reputation of the king of Mirage Kingdom among the civilians of Mirage Kingdom will be damaged. Mirage Kingdom has already done something similar once, and they don't want to get worse this time.
You see, goblins are inhumane when they expand externally, and they still have to take some dignity into account when dealing with their own people.
Therefore, the 100 million war compensation from the Mirage was actually collected collectively by the Tang State from those treacherous countries.
The negotiation process of the Mirage Kingdom these days is, to put it bluntly, a process of asking for money from all the forces that made the Mirage Kingdom declare war on the Tang Kingdom.
The final result was that the Ice Empire had to secretly provide Mirage with 10 million gold coins in support, and the Lines Empire had to provide 12 million to "help".
Cyric finally gritted his teeth and exempted Mirage from borrowing 20 million gold coins to help Mirage tide over the difficulties.
It looks like allies share the same troubles, but in fact it is a group of gangsters who paid a settlement fee to silence the brothers who were caught.
In the blink of an eye, the fighting has stopped for more than a month. Although the peace treaty was signed just today, the war has actually ended for more than a month.
The body of Jiang Zhi, the last second prince of Qi State who was eligible to inherit the throne, was found in the ruins, which also meant the official demise of Qi State.
If nothing happens, this country will become history, and the territory of Qi will continue to exist as the territory of Tang.
Large-scale construction has begun, and everything looks like a construction site. The speed of construction in Tang State is so fast that it is surprising.
Finally, the Cyric envoy team who came from afar arrived in Linshui. They took a C47 transport plane from Long Island to Linshui, and they had a first-hand experience of what an airplane is.
To be honest, they don't like this kind of transportation, because the bumps and the overload during takeoff are very uncomfortable.
But they were frightened by the terrifying speed of the C47. They actually crossed half of the Endless Sea in a few days, which was simply unimaginable in the past.
The only thing that makes them feel depressed is that this C47 transport aircraft is not within the scope of aircraft technology sales this time. The only one they can buy is a simpler and more primitive three-engine transport aircraft.
The Sirik envoy team that arrived in Linshui did not see the sales staff of the Datang Group. The first thing they had to face was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang State.
In fact, the meeting between them was not about purchasing an airplane, but about compensation for the attack on Long Island.
The diplomat from the Tang State sat on one side of the long table, staring at the Gobol envoy who arrived at Linshui with the Cyric envoy opposite, and said: "In fact, we still need Gobol's fleet to arrive at Long Island.
The Boer Kingdom gave an explanation."
Gobel's envoy quickly waved his hand and denied the fact that the Gobel fleet was preparing for a sneak attack: "The Gobel Kingdom's fleet entered by mistake, and there was no intention! Our warships did not cause any actual damage to Dragon Island..."
In fact, when Tang State was at war with Qi State and Mirage State, Gobel was preparing to declare war on Tang State - if their fleet's sneak attack was successful, they would join the war within 24 hours.
But what is regrettable is that their sneak attack failed, whether it was a sneak attack by airship or a battleship, they all failed.
Therefore, the Goblins, who were unable to use their army to participate in the war, immediately gave up the idea of participating in the war. Their navy had been destroyed, and there was absolutely no point in joining the war.
Therefore, until the Mirage Kingdom was defeated, Gobel still pretended to be deaf and dumb. Even if the Tang Kingdom condemned Gobel's sneak attack on the radio channel, Gobel did not give any response in this regard.
The Tang State did not want to expand the war at its core, so after condemning it, it had no intention of declaring war on Gobul. Therefore, the matter was shelved and has been postponed until today.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now that Tang Mo has taken the lead in selling the aircraft, blackmailing the Gobel Kingdom and Cyric has become an inevitable thing to do.
As a result, the Tang diplomat sitting there sneered and asked: "Do you believe this explanation?"
Gobl's envoy was also a veteran and immediately shied away from responsibility: "Although it sounds ridiculous, it is actually true!"
The strong Tang diplomat looked at the somewhat embarrassed Gobel envoy across from him with contempt, and threatened: "If you don't speak human words and are not prepared to seriously explain the sneak attack on Long Island by the joint fleet of Cyric and Gobel...
Then we can do things even better in some aspects!”
Gobol was also a country with coastal cities. They were really afraid of offending the Tang State, so the Tang army's terrifying fleet was ordered to go south to blockade Gobol's port.
Things will not end well at that time. After all, sending out a fleet requires money. If the Tang State really uses its navy, it will definitely not give up until it returns with a lot of money.
The Gobel envoy, who had already weighed the pros and cons, immediately came up with the countermeasures he had already discussed: "Gobol is willing to pay compensation of 2 million gold coins... and also hopes to redeem the captives at the price of 300 gold coins per person..."
…”
Don’t you just want money? Can’t I give it to you? Anyway, you have wiped out all my fleet and there is no big loss, so why don’t you just spend a sum of money to eliminate the disaster?
"Okay, let's do it." He didn't really intend to fall out with Gobel on the matter, and he didn't think Gobel would come up with more money, so the Tang Dynasty's special envoy happily nodded in agreement.
After acquiring a large amount of gold coins from various countries in one fell swoop, the whole world seemed to be tightening their belts, and Goblin was no exception.
If you continue to rip off Gobel under this situation, the risk is actually very high. Even though the Tang State's current combat effectiveness is very strong, if there is not a few years of stable development, the Tang State's economic situation will also have problems.
The Tang diplomat nodded so quickly that it even surprised Gobel's envoy. He even felt for a moment that he might have given too much and he should bargain...
After taking care of Gobel's envoy, the young diplomat looked at the Cyric envoy aside: "Now it's your turn. Cyric... can you explain, your airship, your
Why did the battleship appear in the waters of Long Island?"
Cyric's envoy also played the same trick of shirking responsibility: "In fact, it was not sent by Lady Sophia. Cyric is a union, not a single family. Lady Sophia is only a member of the council, even if
As the chairman of the board, she has no way to stop the directors from making their own decisions."
"Then what?" The Tang diplomat leaned on his chair, waiting for the other party to continue explaining.
Cyric's special envoy gave the name of the one who was wronged: "This military operation against the Tang Kingdom was carried out by Marquis Seriana without permission and does not represent Cyric's collective will."
This Marquise is actually Sophia's arch-enemy, the woman who has been colluding with the dead old man Smiling Tiger and the fat man.
The diplomat of Tang State spoke directly and asked the most important question: "In order to make me believe these words... How much money are you going to spend, Cyric?"
"...10 million gold coins." Cyric's envoy was also very straightforward and quoted directly.
"It still sounds very sincere... doesn't it? But we don't want similar situations to continue to happen, so this distinguished Marquis Seriana... must be left to us to deal with." The diplomat from Tang State spoke out.
condition.
"Okay." Cyric's envoy didn't even bargain.
So the diplomats of the Tang State immediately realized something and made it clear: "As for killing someone with a borrowed knife, it is enough to do it once. If there is a next time, we have to discuss the issue of Lady Sophia's credibility."
"...We will convey this sentence." Cyric's envoy was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.
