Lord of War

66. Provocation【Ask for a monthly ticket】

Negotiation is war and chess in another sense.

This sentence is a famous saying that goes deep into the bone marrow and soul of any diplomat. Because any small mistake, compromise, or concession will bring almost permanent trauma to one's family and country.

The indemnity paid by these two barons, at least in the next few years, will make the supplies in the territory very poor, and it will take a long time to really recover. The result of this is that these two nobles attached to the Boulder family will become a burden and burden for the Boulder family, but due to the long-term development policy of the Boulder family, it is naturally impossible to abandon them. These two nobles.

Therefore, if the two nobles do not want to end up in such a situation, then the Boulder family will have to bear all the compensation results.

This is also an unacceptable ending for Tedes.

But fortunately, at least one negotiation issue was resolved, and he braced himself to prepare for the next negotiation: "Since both parties have no objections to this point, let's draft it like this."

"Okay." Sean nodded.

Of course he had to give Tedes some confidence. If he just blindly attacked and didn't let people take a breather, then the string that was too tight would be broken. Therefore, an appropriate slack rhythm is the real trick to mastering the rhythm of a negotiation, especially when forcing the other party beyond their psychological expectations and forcing the other party to nod in agreement. Good rhythm.

Otherwise, once the opponent beats the cannons, it will be hard to say who will control the rhythm.

Of course, Sean doesn't know any negotiation skills at all, he just relies on Neil's gestures to judge whether the current situation is beneficial to him.

When Neil tapped his index finger, it was acceptable; if he tapped his middle finger. It means rejection; the ring finger means that you can fight for greater interests; as for the little finger, you pretend to think for three minutes. And to cooperate with this series of actions, Neil and Cecilia will of course speak at the right time to achieve the effect of reminding and targeting. With the cooperation of these three people, Teds, who is alone, is naturally afraid Not any good.

You know, no matter how good Tedes is at negotiating, he is only one person, and his opponents are two opponents whose skills are not inferior to his. In particular, Neil is still an elf, and his long years have allowed him to see many human cunning and hidden rules of nobles, so he is on the negotiating table. As long as Neil takes the initiative, it is equivalent to William opening the perspective of God on the battlefield.

As for Cecilia, she is really just making up for it and picking up the loopholes.

Because when Neil focuses on a certain aspect of the problem, he often neglects other considerations, so it is naturally impossible to think of some clauses so precisely. Cecilia doesn't have too obvious strengths and weaknesses. But her status as a magician makes her extremely intelligent, and her memory and thinking ability are also excellent, so many detailed problems can be caught by her immediately, which also gives Tedes a headache.

At this moment, Tedes had guessed Cecilia's origin.

But so what if you know?

Tedes could only curse in his heart: "It's really a luxury to have a magician participate in the negotiation!"

Not all magicians are so idle.

And after reaching an agreement on the compensation for the two barons for this article.

The subsequent negotiation of the treaty will be much easier, and the progress will be much faster. But after learning the horror of Sean's team, Tedes naturally won't have any time to relax, and the high concentration makes him feel a little tired. But that's the job of negotiating.

"Then next, it is about the two territories currently occupied by your army." Tedes continued, "I hope you can evacuate the army immediately, after all, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang. Of course. The other side can also get a corresponding compensation, and the specific amount of compensation is the full income of the two territories for the next year."

"About this point, I have exactly the opposite opinion with you." Sean shook his head, "Whether it is the Chirav Territory or the Dai Territory, they will be formally merged into my territorial jurisdiction, and this cannot be changed. So in name, I want to protest to you instead, because an army belonging to your country broke into my territory led by Dayi some time ago, I hope you can immediately stop this army from all actions and withdraw My territory, otherwise I will regard it as a declaration of war."

Hearing Sean's words, Tedes finally showed a look of shock on his face.

Although in this war, Sean was indeed a counterattack in the name of occupying a certain advantage, but in this case, according to the noble war treaty, Sean should not occupy the territory, but should obtain sufficient compensation Afterwards, the two occupied territories were returned.

But now, from what Sean said, Tedes seemed to intend to make these two territories his own?

"Your Excellency Sean, this kind of behavior of yours seems to be contrary to common sense." Tedes was also a little puzzled, he was really confused now, according to the terms of the noble war treaty, such a thing had never happened in the Miracle Continent, but Sean But it was obviously unreasonable to play cards, which made Tedes doubt whether his theory was tenable, "According to the noble war treaty, you can't occupy these two territories, because this...after all, it's just a dispute between nobles. contradiction."

"According to the aristocratic treaty, I just shouldn't occupy these two territories, but it doesn't mean that my actions are illegal." Sean said without hesitation, and it was obvious that after hearing this line Train hard, "so strictly speaking, my behavior can be considered legal."

"But even so, you only have the right to rule these two territories in name, and they still belong to the territory of the Kingdom of Dabion."

Tedes didn't understand.

Whether it was Baron Langness's Chirav Territory, or the Dai Territory ruled by Viscount Rudd, who was also said to have been captured by Sean, they were not important territories. At least these two territories don’t have any special products, not even mineral veins. The situation in Dailand is a little better, because Viscount Rudd’s management is good, and there are currently two trade routes. The profit of the trade route has hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but even the lord can only get a share of it, because the profit of this trade route is not owned by Viscount Rudd alone.

The Chirav Territory is completely miserable. Because Baron Lonness is not good at internal affairs, the situation in the territory is not much better. It is said that Baron Lonness even pays a sum of money every month to subsidize the people in the territory. army. In addition, there is no dangerous land in the Dayi Territory, and the terrain in the territory is relatively broad and flat, so the army is not good at defending the border. Although the Chirav Territory is much smaller, the border is also narrow and long, which is also not good. defense.

What is the value of such two territories that do not have special products, mineral veins, resources, or even strategic locations?

"I know this very well." Sean nodded, "I will also pay the taxes that should be paid to the Kingdom of Dabion every year. However, I am still a loyal Ryan, and I believe in Ted Mr. Si will not convey the wrong opinion when he goes back and recounts?"

Tedes looked at Sean with some doubts. The so-called abnormality must have a demon, which is his negotiating experience for many years. If Sean only wanted the Dailand, he could think that it was because the Pandaland had no trade route, so he wanted to use the Dayi's trade route to expand a trade route to the Pandaland. After all, he had seen Now that this originally unknown town has even built the outer city wall of a city, it must be necessary to stimulate the development of the territory through trade.

But Sean still insisted on the Chirav collar, which made him a little confused.

Moreover, the current two territories are related to the territory of the Darbion Kingdom after all, and it is no longer a matter of the Boulder family, so Tedes did not dare to promise: "About this point, it is beyond the Boulder family's responsibility." ability, so the Boulder family cannot make any compromise on this matter. After all, this is a matter of two territories, and even if the Boulder family wants to agree, there is no way to come up with relevant territorial documents, so this If it’s not as good as we can delete it from the agreement, how about it?”

"Oh, you don't need to delete it. You can draft another copy and hand it over to His Majesty the King for me." Sean smiled. "On the specific issues of these two territories, I have already discussed with Viscount Rud. I have reached an agreement with Baron Langness, and they both agreed to transfer it to me. And Viscount Rudd’s territory documents have been delivered not long ago..." While saying this, Neil handed a document to Ted Si: "And Baron Langness has also promised that as soon as he returns to the country, he will send the documents immediately. I am telling you about this now, just to remind you. I hope you can help convey the news when the time comes." To your Majesty."

"Since Viscount Rudd has given you the certificate of the territory, he should return to the capital to report..."

Having said this, Tedes' face froze suddenly, and the incredulous look in his eyes became stronger.

"There are some things that we don't need to talk about, right?" Sean smiled slightly, "Viscount Rudd is actually just a victim. Since the Darbion Kingdom doesn't want him, it's not normal for him to choose a better future. Is it?... So I hope that when you convey the news to your majesty the king for me, it is best to remind him that Ruud Michelin is already a knight under my command, and I hope you will not do anything to him Any malicious harassment, otherwise I will regard it as a declaration of war."

"This is the kingdom of Dabion's declaration of war against me, do you understand?"

Cecilia glanced sideways at Sean, her face full of helplessness: This is really a blatant slap and provocation.
