Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

"Your Excellency, the Special Envoy of Ostoria is already waiting outside. Are you going to meet them now?"

The secretary asked respectfully that after Li Lin nodded, the little girl retreated backward promptly. After a while, the low-key guests approached the presidential reception room.

The special envoys were also nobles, and had seen many big scenes, but they were shocked when they saw this reception room.

The president of the consortium has always been very notable in life, but he is well-known for his extravagance, as can be seen from his meticulous care for his adopted children. But this reception room...not to mention the cut-and-sew marble floor, huge crystal chandeliers, gold candlesticks, gold picture frames, gold ink stands, and gold sandalwood desks with stationery clips. I just saw a large crystal bowl on the coffee table, filled with uncut diamonds, red sapphires, opals, emeralds, agate and emeralds, dressed in a white silk suit with gold rims, gold threads, gold buttons and gold cufflinks The president of the company reached into the bowl and buried it deeply in the cold gemstones-just this scene made their little heart a little unbearable.

To show off wealth is also a diplomatic means. After all, financial resources are also an expression of strength, which is particularly effective for backward civilizations. However, Li Lin's purpose is not this, and the envoys are not completely directed at the money.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. President."

The front special envoy nodded his head as a tribute. This is a man with a personalized blessing and a lower hairline, a sparse forehead, and a densely splayed beard. At first glance, it looks like a participating teacher in a humanistic high school or a small civil bureaucrat who behaves politely. Cold eyes. The man's politeness also added some cunning, indifference and arrogance. These complicated things can't be seen in the eyes of the little people.

After reading the other party's information, Li Lin got up and bowed deeply to the other party, and said with a smile:

"It’s really flattering to be here. Alberich just told me that I have two guests from Ostoria, but I did not expect that the two most prominent political leaders in the crown will stand in front of you. Your Excellency, and your Excellency ."

"Mr. President, not everyone is like you. Just seeing our faces immediately knows who we are."

The crown of St. Esteban led the former official of the High Court, Deac Ferenc, to say in a loud voice that the right hand of Count Andrashi Giuluo put his waist on his waist. Deac and Count Bojani Lajos were moderate leaders among the nobles of the crown. When the crown prince invaded the crown collar. He took the initiative to hang away, and responded to Prince Wang's brutality with passive resistance. After Titans suppressed the revolution, Count Bojani Lajos was executed, and Deac and Andrashi went into exile. He was sentenced to death in absentia. And executed a simulated hang. Now they appear in the consortium's reception room as the special envoy of Ostoria. The meaning of this is worth pondering.

Is intending to learn Jing Ke thorn Qin. See a picture poor? Or is there any interesting news from Ostoria and Crown Collar?

"Your Excellency, we are here to seek compromise."

"very sorry."

Li Lin raised his hand and looked at the two exiles with a mocking cold smile. Then say:

"I think that this kind of state affairs is more effective to find Prime Minister Richelieu, you see, it is just a businessman, and he can't talk about the relationship between the territories and the Royal Government."

"No, Mr. President, we will not make any compromise with Charlie Man, who is betrayal. We just want to make a compromise with the consortium-more precisely, the northern Charlemagne country you are leading."

Kaka-

Fingers banged on the coffee table, and the guards hiding in the dark room, ready to take action, stopped their actions. Their fingers were still on the trigger of the submachine gun, listening quietly to the conversation in the reception room.

"Sir, this kind of joke is not funny at all."

"Your disguise is also poor."

De Ake also sneered and returned.

"If we don't know anything, why come to you? You are convinced of this before deciding to continue the conversation."

"This is not necessarily the case. A group of exiles meet with the president of the consortium that relies on the sale of arms-this situation looks like a plot of conspiracy. People who are hostile to the consortium must be interested in reading this plot and making it public."

"Sounds like that, then who would write the script behind the scenes?"

"Your excellency, do you think my enemies are so few that they can lock on the target by speculating their motives?"

"Since we cannot be sure of each other's sincerity, it is better to change the subject and talk about the things that will benefit us both. I believe that with your judgment, you should be able to distinguish the sincerity."

"Let's listen to it."

Over the next half hour, Deac and Andrashi slowly peddled what they called a "compromise" and what Li Lin called a "triple empire."

Compromise-the elven language is, the crown collar language is, its essence is a contract between the crown collar of Ostoria, St. Eastman, and the consortium. After the consortium broke up the northern part of Charlemagne and became a kingdom, the three parties formed a common empire (). This empire consists of three constitutional countries in each of their internal affairs-"the territory directly under the Imperial Emperor (Yalfheim)", "Empire Parliament Kingdoms and Territories (Ostolia)" and the Saint-Esteban Crown and Crown. Each of the three countries has established a bicameral congress and its own administrative institutions, each led by a prime minister. In addition to having a single monarch, the three countries also have common diplomatic, military, financial, and customs unions that are revised every ten years. The common affairs of the three countries are led by the institutions established in the "empire emperor's territory", and the 60-member committee and delegation composed of the same number selected by the parliament of the three countries are supervised. Held. The three countries shared their national debts, and Wang Guanling and Ostoria each bear 20% of the joint expenses.

From a technical point of view, this "compromise" will create an unprecedented ternary monarchy, and Alfheim can achieve expansion at a very small cost and build a big country that is enough to fight Charlemagne.

but--

"The abacus is really good."

Listening to two humans nagging an endless empty check. Brenhill in the dark room sneered with contempt.

It is nominally a ternary monarchy, but the benefits of Ostoria and the crown collar are so much better than "Ostoria-crown collar-Yalfheim". The two economically, technologically and militaryly backward territories are only responsible for 20% of the joint expenditure, but enjoy the same rights as Yalfheim, which bears 60% of the expenditure and almost all defense responsibilities, and also guarantees that Yalf Heim has no right to intervene in their internal affairs.

This will definitely not work.

Yalfheim does have plans to bring these two territories under his control and give them considerable autonomy. To this end, some private bureaucrats who supported the ruling officials also suggested that when the crown was crowned in the future, Li Lin’s title would no longer be the traditional "Emperor of Gilmania", and take away the (exclusive) representative of the exclusive nature and change it to The relatively mild "Gilmanian Emperor". In order to avoid infringing on the traditional rights cherished by the unified area, and thus causing unnecessary conflicts. At this price. Alfheim can logically become a "guiding country" above detached countries. Unify the nations in a form similar to a federation.

The above is the bottom line of Yalfheim, and the two territories that Aristolia and Crown Collar can't even actually want more...

Absolutely not, there is no room for negotiation. In fact, the military and radicals are not satisfied with this proposal. Think too weak for the conquered area. It only strengthens the separatist tendencies of the conquered. Even if they don't say anything, these human beings must more or less hope that the elven regime will decline, and will resist any measures that can strengthen the national power of New Gilmania. Now they still want to create a ternary empire that pays less and pays more? This group of guys should really find a brain doctor to check if they are mentally disabled.

If you want to negotiate with another impulsive boy without political experience. I'm afraid I have rejected the deeds of Andak and Andrashi on the spot, but Li Lin is not a kid, but a cunning fox. After expressing such attitudes as "I will consider, give me some time", the two envoys were politely sent away. As soon as the door of the reception room was closed, Brun Hill stepped out of the dark door disguised as a portrait.

"Did Albian stab us out?"

"There is no definitive evidence, but most of it will not be wrong. Walsingham is really a prudent person. The verbal assurance is not enough, and he has also brought us a group of helpers to work as alarm clocks."

In this troubled world, where is Yalfheim's way of being? The more common view inside is to win over the territories suppressed by Charlemagne, get well with the Principality of Albion and Ross, and at the same time try to incite Castilla to fight Charlemagne. But the reality is that from the experience of the siege of Riga, the Albian army is too small to help the full-scale continental war, and even if Alfheim and Charlieman’s territory are allied, it is only a half and a half. The national strength of medium powers is not a big win against the conservative forces of the entire world. What’s more, “the territory of the new empire is too small to accommodate two masters.” If Alfheim does not want to rebuild the “bills” for Ostoria and the crown collar, who lack industrial foundations and livelihood, they will definitely not accept the three Proposal of Yuan Empire. The only viable way is to defeat Charlemagne, the continent's dominant player, through a clean and quick blitz, and demonstrate the incomparably strong strength, and then form a new system with Yalfheim as the core.

At this time, Ostoria, who was supposed to be thrown away as an abandoned son, suddenly sent two crown-collar exiles as special envoys. As soon as he came up, he said, "We know that you are ready to rebel. Let us all form an alliance." Or something. It is hard to understand who is in the lead.

Even the purpose is clear.

"The confidentiality consciousness of Ostoria and Wang Guanling has not been very good. Right now, only a few people in the upper class know about us from Albion. But as time went on, the news leaked to Richelieu. It’s just a matter of time. Probably... It takes about a year or so, which is exactly the time we agreed with Walsingham. In this way, we will ensure that we will not break the contract and will act according to the schedule. Oops, Everyone fights hard."

Walsingham and most of his contemporaries would not have thought of the complex strategy of Alfheim. In this world where geo-strategies have not yet formed specific theories and rules, people can only act by experience. The same is true for Albion.

When a powerful enemy is hit, it is dangerous to cultivate a new and stronger enemy;

The best way to deal with potential threats is to kill them in a budding state. Even if this is not possible, they must be stumbling blocks, and they cannot be comfortably swallowed up;

Queen Elizabeth and Walsingham think so, and they did take action, limiting it to a level that would not over-stimulate the consortium. This alone is worthy of praise. There is no need to be too demanding on them, and they must be compared with the cheating Yalfheim.

"In short, deal with it. After the yellow plan is completed, they will know how to stand up. Before that, don't take them too seriously, and don't let them down."

"understood."

"Next... is it the special envoy of the Principality?, I hope he can bring us good news."

Orlov’s Special Envoy did bring good news, so good that the eavesdropping Brun Hill was so shocked.

"You mean, the Principality wants to grant me a knighthood?"

"Yes, in view of the outstanding contributions made by your Excellency and the consortium in the war, the great majesty Nikolai decided to grant you territory and knighthood."

Earl Orlov revealed an impeccable hypocrisy, and handed an edict to Li Lin, and the remaining light in the corner of his eyes peeked into the crystal sea bowl full of precious stones.

The shiny jewels stirred the envy of the envoy, although he maintained varying degrees of indifference to work, women, and things outside of power. But now he still can't help being jealous of Li Lin-this is too rich, and at the same time he won the same title as him. And if it is not the objection of Elder Witt ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Li Lin may be directly banned by the Duke of Auschwitz, rather than the Count of Birkenau today.

Money, power, future-no one can think calmly in front of these, no matter how open-minded, when faced with a young profiteer easily grabbed all this, it is difficult not to produce negative emotions.

——This kid is so lucky!

When Count Orlov was indignant, his jealous object was posing with a complex expression mixed with flattering and forcibly suppressing ecstasy, disguising his feelings unaffected by the lord and numbing his opponent.

The prince general. These honorable titles have little meaning for Li Lin, and at best will have some impact on his plan. However, it sounds inexplicable to have the title of commander of the concentration camp, that is, the sense of sight, and what kind of impact it will have on it needs further information to analyze and judge.

and so--

"Her Majesty's pity makes me impressed. I wonder if there is anything that can help?"

Carefully put away the edict, Li Lin stared at Orlov through the mask of gratitude. (To be continued...) u
