Chapter 1437: Conflict Between the North and the East (Part 1)

Before sending envoys, the destination country or destination region should be informed of the purpose of sending envoys so that the people of the destination country or destination region can prepare in advance. At the same time, envoys from other countries must not be harmed. This is also a common practice among the continental countries.

No matter how bad the relationship between a pair of countries is, they must not harm the envoys sent by each other.

For example, once the Britannia Empire sends envoys to the Frank Empire, the Frank Empire has only the right to refuse their entry, but not the right to harm them.

Once the envoys of other countries are harmed, it will be a serious blow to the reputation and image of the country.

Before Bankro arrived at the Holy Hilan Empire, the central government of the Britannia Empire had already sent people to inform the central government of the Holy Hilan Empire in advance. The reason why they sent envoys this time was to discuss the alliance together.

Therefore, Vasili had long discussed with the ministers headed by Mond whether to dissolve the alliance with the Frank Empire and change it to an alliance with the Britannia Empire.

After a long discussion, Vasili and the central officials unanimously agreed that there was no benefit in forming an alliance with the Britannia Empire, so they must not form an alliance with the Britannia Empire.

Therefore, as soon as Bankro finished speaking, Vasili read out the lines he had prepared long ago and rejected Bankro outright.

However, Bankro seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time, and after hearing Vasili's rejection, he was neither anxious nor annoyed.

Instead, he calmly asked back:

"Your Majesty, may I ask - what is the reason for refusing to form an alliance with our country?"

"Because there is no benefit." Vashili responded without hesitation, "Your Excellency the Envoy, we are not fools."

"Do you think we can't see that once the 'Greek-French Alliance' is dissolved and the 'Greek-Burk Alliance' is formed, it will only benefit your Britannia Empire, and not our Holy Hilan Empire at all?"

"Since there is no benefit, why should we form an alliance with you?"

"...No benefit..." Bankro muttered this sentence in a low voice, and then made a few intriguing sounds.

Then he continued:

"Your Majesty, what you said just now is wrong."

"And it's very wrong."

"Once the alliance with the Frankish Empire is dissolved and it is changed to an alliance with our country, it will be quite beneficial for your country."

"Oh?" Vashili raised his eyebrows.

After a moment of silence, Vasili said softly:

"What are the benefits? Tell me about it."

"Then I will tell you straight away - if your country is willing to form an alliance with our country, our country is willing to return the Muhawetz Fortress to your country!"

As soon as Bankro finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

Anyone who knows a little about the geographical conditions between countries understands how important the Muhawetz Fortress is to the Holy Hilan Empire.

Before the Muhawetz Fortress was lost, the Muhawetz Fortress was the gate to the southwest of the Holy Hilan Empire.

As long as the Muhawetz Fortress was not lost, the Britannia Empire would not be able to invade their Holy Hilan Empire on a large scale.

But if the Muhawetz Fortress was lost, the damage to the Holy Hilan Empire would be extraordinary.

Losing the Muhawetz Fortress means that the southwest will be undefended from then on.

The Britannia Empire can easily invade the Holy Hilan Empire's homeland - just like the "Aurora" offensive six years ago.

The monarchs and ministers of the Holy Hilan Empire dream of taking back the Muhavitz Fortress from the Britannia Empire.

After learning that they could peacefully take back the Muhavitz Fortress without bloodshed by forming an alliance with the Britannia Empire, many people, including Vasili, were excited.

At this time, Bankro continued to say loudly:

"At the same time - if your country is willing to form an alliance with our country, your country can also obtain a large area of ​​fertile land!"

Bankro's words,

completely confused everyone in the hall.

"Your Excellency the Envoy." Vasili asked, "Get a large area of ​​fertile land? What does this mean? Where does the land come from?"

"The land of the Frankish Empire."

"The land of the Frankish Empire..." Vasili hesitated.

"Our country intends to launch a war of annihilation against the Frankish Empire within the next two years! Completely put an end to the Hundred Years' War between the two countries!"

Bankro shouted loudly in a high voice. Even if you were in any corner of the hall, you could hear Bankro's voice clearly.

"The reason why our country wants to form an alliance with your country is to be able to attack the Frankish Empire together with your country!"

"Your country will attack the Frankish Empire from the north."

"Our country will attack the Frankish Empire from the west."

"Under the attack of you and me, it will be easy to destroy the Frankish Empire!

"When sending troops to attack and destroy the Frankish Empire, whichever country conquers which land will belong to that country."

"That is to say - as long as your country can occupy two-thirds of the land of the Frankish Empire, then after the war, these two-thirds of the land of the Frankish Empire will belong to your country! Our country will never have any complaints!"

"Your Majesty, you should also know - if you can get such a large piece of land, how much wealth can be brought to your country. "

As soon as Bankro finished speaking, Vashili suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Vashili had to admit that what Bankro said just now was quite attractive...

However, at this moment, a minister standing aside in the hall suddenly stepped out and said loudly:

"Your Majesty! Please don't listen to the ridiculous words just said by the envoy of the Britannia Empire! Our country has no grudges with the Frank Empire, why should we send troops to the Frank Empire?"

"And - how can we start a war easily!"

"Your Excellency the Envoy, do you know how much it costs to start a war, especially a war against a great power of the level of the Frank Empire?"

"Your Majesty! I think - our country has just eliminated the threat of the grassland people to our country, and it is time to take the time to recuperate! How can we start a war again at this time?"

Before Vashili had time to respond to what the minister had just said, Bankro responded unyieldingly:

"War costs money?"

Bankro put on a very surprised expression.

"How can war cost money?"

"War costs money - this is just a common misunderstanding among people!"

"War doesn't cost money at all!"

"A victorious war will bring immeasurable benefits to a country!"

"Only defeated wars and wars that are inconclusive will cost money!"

"And joining forces with our country to attack the Frankish Empire is a war that is sure to win!"

"What is the current situation of the Frankish Empire? I believe everyone present knows it, right?"

"Since losing to our country four years ago, the Frankish Empire has been in a slump until now."

"They don't even have enough money to defend the peace of their borders now 'There is no army!"

"Under such circumstances, how can the Frankish Empire resist the attack from our country and your country?"

"As long as our country and your country launch a pincer attack, the Frankish Empire will be defeated and unable to fight back."

"Why doesn't your country participate in such a war that is sure to win and can bring huge profits after winning?"

"You should know how rich the Frankish Empire is without my detailed introduction."

"Once you occupy the land of the Frankish Empire, how much profit can it bring to your country - I don't need to explain it in detail either."

"And-"

Bankro turned around and looked at the minister who had just spoken.

"Your Excellency just said - you have no grudges with the Frank Empire?"

"What your Excellency just said is not quite right, right? There are obviously grudges between your country and the Frank Empire, right?"

"As far as I know - after your country and the Frank Empire formed the 'Greek-French Alliance', the Frank Empire has always been arrogant towards your country."

The translator had just finished translating what Bankro had just said, and the faces of Vasili and some ministers in the hall changed instantly.

Vasili, sitting on the throne, slowly clenched his fists, with a dark face and a deep voice:

"...Well, Your Excellency, what you said just now is right. Since the establishment of the 'Greek-French Alliance', the attitude of the Frank Empire towards our country has always made me very unhappy..."
