Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Chapter 466: Diplomatic Mission (3)

After being together for half a month, Duke Harrington felt that he had misunderstood little Earl Jefferies.

This guy is pretty good!

Putting aside national interests, Earl Jeffries Jr. is indeed a personable man.

A man in his forties is his best years, and he was born into a noble family and received a complete higher aristocratic education since he was a child.

Born as a northern knight, he is not lacking in martial arts.

Whether it is military or civil affairs, he can take advantage of it.

Moreover, he has traveled to many places and experienced two dynasties over the years, which can be said to be a rich life experience.

Multiple identities are integrated into one. If you say that he is not attractive enough, many little girls will not agree.

This is a man who can conquer women and men without money.

Duke Harrington abandoned his prejudices and forgot about the disputes between his family and his country. After spending two weeks simply getting along with him, he gained a new understanding.

In addition, little Jefferies is generous and generous. He is the kind of person who can eat his own food and still have enough face, not to mention that this time the entire journey was reimbursed at public expense.

Don't talk about state affairs, just talk about romance.

Such a free and unrestrained life soon conquered Duke Harrington.

In his words, at least on this boat, everyone is a friend.

Even if I have been insulted by this man.

It wasn't until the fleet arrived at the first supply port that Duke Harrington realized his identity.

Boom, boom, boom.

The battle patrol came forward and fired several shots, and the forts on the shore raised huge plumes of smoke.

Flames shot into the sky, and a large number of soldiers ran back and forth.

Even if you can't hear it, you can still see the other person's panic.

The flag at the supply port where they had just retorted was lowered to half-mast in an instant.

What kind of backbone, in a place like overseas, is not as valuable as your own life.

The poor system of the Lion Heart Kingdom has caused the national consciousness to have not yet awakened.

Officials feel more like working for the royal family than having a sense of ownership.

So, how many workers can protect the wealth and honor of their masters without fear of death?

Perhaps the first generation of Lionheart King had such charm, but today's Lionheart Royal Family is far behind.

Duke Harrington was awakened by the sound of cannon after a hangover.

When I walked out and took a look, my bright flag was particularly conspicuous.

It was only then that he realized his identity.

He is the Duke of the Lion Heart Kingdom, a collateral bloodline of the royal family.

He hurriedly ran to little Count Jefferies and said loudly: "Stop firing, stop firing, and let me negotiate. I can definitely get them to send supplies."

Representative Sanger turned around, pointed to the harbor in the distance, and said happily: "It's too late, the flag at the harbor has been flown at half-mast."

This is surrender.

Duke Harrington is deeply ashamed. Can you be tough for a while? Why did you surrender after a few shots?

As for Sanger, this traitor, he was already used to it, and those who didn't know thought he was from the Daxia Empire.

Little Earl Jefferys held the wine glass with one hand and held Duke Harrington's shoulder with the other: "Don't worry, it's just a show for entertainment after drinking. Don't affect the relationship between our friends."

Duke Harrington was speechless. Is this really a show?

Perhaps in the eyes of this earl, the mere Lion Heart Kingdom really has no status.

Just because he can hang out with Duke Harrington doesn't mean he can watch Lionheart Kingdom.

A wave of grief and anger from a weak country woke up Duke Harrington, who had forgotten the identities of both parties these days.

When we open our eyes and look at the world, all we see is despair. This may be what the backward generation endures.

He just watched silently as the warships of the Great Xia Empire sailed into the port, requisitioning materials at will as if they were on their own territory, and trampling on the dignity of the Lion Heart Kingdom.

He even had a strong desire that if these spineless guys could set a fire in the port, they would not burn down the Daxia warships, and at least they would retain their integrity.

It's a pity that people with integrity have been controlled by their own people in advance, and most of them are not prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country.

And this is just the beginning.

It's okay to surrender directly. At most, you will lose some supplies and face.

For those who resisted, a bombing attack only caused more casualties.

Even Duke Harrington himself couldn't tell whether such a sacrifice was worth it.

What's ridiculous is that those who were dedicated to defending the country are dead, while those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are still alive.

This kind of contradiction and impact was difficult for the young Duke Harrington to understand for a while.

Earl Jefferys Jr. watched Harrington's struggle throughout, and he certainly knew the impact of doing so.

But he just wanted to see whether Duke Harrington was willing to fall in the face of reality, or whether he would stand up after breaking.

After a month and a half, the fleet finally approached the border of Lionheart Kingdom.

As the number of merchant ships on the route gradually increased, this huge fleet gradually caused a huge sensation.

Earl Jefferys Jr. ordered the ship to slow down to give the Lionheart Kingdom enough time to react.

After all, he is here to fight, not to start a war.

It doesn't matter if you have a small fight far away from the Lion Heart Kingdom, the other party will hide the truth.

But even if you arrive at someone else's house and you don't give him face, the other party will fight back even if they know it's a dead end.

After all, if the ruler loses his majesty, the people below will be ready to take action.

Shock is much less expensive than suppression. Frequent resistance will quickly consume the cornerstone of rule.

On this basis, such actions as making peace, betraying the country, making annual sacrifices, and even killing one's own generals are actually normal.

Do you think all rulers are fools? As a pariah, is the world sober?

Therefore, as a descendant of generations of rulers, little Earl Jefferys is well aware of the mentality of his peers.

So he changed his style and the fleet moved slowly, looking gentle and elegant.

Ironically, most of the letter ships from the Lionheart Kingdom's colony are still on the way.

As for the ports that were attacked and extorted along the way, all the information was easily suppressed.

The royal family of the Lion Heart Kingdom, who was forced to welcome the guests, had to break their teeth and swallow it.

One after another ships approached the Great Xia Empire's envoy fleet, and Duke Harrington, the scapegoat, was finally able to play his role as a middleman, taking the blame from both sides.

The first national-level diplomatic mission between two countries separated by thousands of miles cannot be taken lightly.

No matter how hard the Lionheart Kingdom gritted its teeth, it still had to put on a warm and hospitable appearance for the sake of the strength of the Daxia Empire.

So after tedious communication, the Lion Heart Kingdom decided to welcome the envoys of the Great Xia Empire at the largest seaport.

As for the reception standards, they have been repeatedly improved. They rejected the ridiculous plan proposed by young Earl Jefferys to welcome the Queen in person. His Excellency the Crown Prince, together with several princes and princesses, will personally serve as ambassador.

The young Earl Jefferys from the Great Xia Empire was even allowed to bring a whole regiment of guards ashore, enjoying unique and noble treatment.
