Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

To put it bluntly, he hoped that the Romans could give them some time to transfer their property and family members. This request was reasonable and Tiya did not refuse: "I agreed. At the same time, I also need some time to negotiate with the Celts over there. Maybe they will I have an opinion, after all, you northerners have now occupied a large piece of their land, and no one would want to give away the land they have lived on for a long time. "

Ivar suddenly became quite generous: "I can understand if this is the case. Please tell those Celtics that I really long for peace now, and for this I am willing to show my sincerity. As long as they I am willing to shake hands and make peace. I am willing to return part of the land I occupied. Let me discuss the specific amount with them. In short, I will never let them down. "

Ivar is a quick-thinking person. Originally, the key point in his plan was the northern land, so it was impossible for him to make any principled concessions, but now he finds that the armed smuggling route seems to allow them to gain more. , so there is no rush to compete with the locals for one or two pieces of land.

To put it bluntly, Orville's focus is obviously on the Celtics. Ivar does not have to compete with the opponent. Appropriate submission and soft show of favor is also an option. When Orville is transferred or the general policy of the Roman Empire changes, It would be too late to slowly deal with these natives. Ivar firmly believed that the northerners were definitely stronger than the locals.

Now it is obviously a better choice to find a way to cooperate with Orville. It is obviously a better choice for both parties to make money from the Frank nobles together. What's more, Ivar still has ideas about the world map he drew. At present, only Orville can take them to a wider world. For these purposes, Ivar is willing to put aside the dispute and give in temporarily. It is idiotic to blindly show off his cruelty. practice.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Ivar then added: "In addition, I have a personal request. I hope you can provide me with some goods from the Roman Empire. I want to sell these goods to Frank ”

He already knew that although Orville was the Governor of Britain, his status was obviously inferior to that of the Governor of Gaul. He himself was happy to accept this status difference and consciously sat in the second seat, so now he not only had to deal with the Governor of Britain, but also Find a way to convince the female general in front of you.

Tia frowned when she heard this: "Sold to Frank? Are you talking about smuggling?! We have now banned the delivery of any goods to the Frank Kingdom."

"That's right, I just want to smuggle. But please don't worry, the specific smuggled items can be reviewed by you. I only smuggle harmless luxury goods that can be sold at a high price, and I will not touch sensitive weapons. Armor and the like, this should be an acceptable level on your end.

I am willing to share part of the profits, and I guarantee that the distribution will satisfy you, and everyone will get money according to their contribution. "

Although Ivar owns the ship, he knows that the Romans are not idiots, especially Orville, who pays special attention to these business practices. If the scale of smuggling is larger, it will definitely not be concealed. It is better to be honest from the beginning. Talk clearly to avoid disputes.

Tia did not approve of this: "This is a violation of the laws of the empire, and I don't approve of it."

Orville, who was somewhat greedy for money, reminded the other party in a low voice: "Actually, I think my father will agree to this application. The embargo on the Franks is more of an attitude. In fact, my father does not want to hinder commercial activities, but he has to do it as a last resort." .

I personally think that this kind of smuggling that does not involve strategic materials is harmless. After all, we are really short of funds now. Maybe now we can just nod our heads to collect the military expenses of our several legions. Isn't this a good thing? ? I believe that the Senate and my father's side will also agree. We might as well agree first and then talk about it. If we have any questions, we can ask our father's side for instructions. "

He was very sure that if he asked His Majesty the Emperor for instructions, the answer he would get would definitely be approved, because His Majesty the Emperor was more greedy for money than he was, and would accept all sources of money. As long as he had money, he would be less picky than Orville.

Judging from the current situation of the Roman Empire and the Frankish Kingdom, various smuggling activities between the two are bound to be rampant. Now the potential largest smuggler leader wants to negotiate cooperation with his side, basically making a profit without losing any money. It's a hugely profitable thing, at least in Orville's view, there's no need to reject the other party.

Tia has an almost visceral resistance to breaking the law, but she has also been told by her father that she should listen to Orville's opinions more when it comes to money. So now, even though she doesn't like it very much, Tia finally listened to the advice after struggling for a while.

"Then you should discuss the specific matters with Orville," she looked at Orville, "You should know where my bottom line is. Don't do anything too wrong. I won't ask anything before that."

Orville in turn made a gesture to Tiya, indicating that she could rest assured.

After receiving Orville's reply, she turned to look at Ivar, stood up and said solemnly: "It seems that we can still reach a consensus. I hope that our agreement today can be abided by and fulfilled."

"I have prepared a written document, written according to the custom of you Romans. I am willing to sign the oath in this way and swear to the great god Odin at the same time. I disdain to lie, especially lying on such a big matter. Today Everything said is true.”

He showed the two of them a neatly written document. Tiya had studied law and worked as a lawyer, so she could see the potential risks in it. There was nothing wrong with this document. Ivar wrote it with sincerity.

Tiya was the first to sign her name on the document, indicating her approval of the content. Then Orville and Ivar also signed their names, and the document was officially effective.

From this point on, Orville's main enemy changed from the Vikings to the King of Denmark and the Franks behind the King of Denmark. They were the absolute main force on the northern front. Once they were solved, the situation could basically be said to be solved.

Now all that needed to be paid attention to was the matter in the lowlands. This could not be easily solved in the short term. Both sides needed to compete in size and foundation until one side could not bear the loss and chose to withdraw.

Before Rollo won the battle, he could be said to be more worried about the prospects of the lowlands, but now he was not so worried, because King Charles of the Franks seemed to have made a fatal low-level mistake-those people were all dissenters who were exiled by King Charles.
