Chapter 1441: The Bush Alliance Is Established (Part 1)
Hearing Bancro's compliment, Vasily couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Vasily likes nothing more than to hear other people's praise of him and the country, whether the praise is true or false.
As for Bancro, who was constantly touting the Holy Hiran Empire, the conversation suddenly changed.
He said something that almost made Vasily stand up from the throne in excitement:
"Your Majesty, because our country, from the emperor to the ordinary ministers, is full of respect for your country."
"Therefore - if your country is willing to form an alliance with our country, our country is willing to respect your country as the master of the alliance! And our country is willing to be under your country!"
As soon as Bancro finished speaking, a look of excitement visible to the naked eye emerged quickly from Vasili's face.
Vasili straightened his back, which was already a little hunched over from sitting for a long time, and said excitedly:
"Your country is willing to respect our country as the master of the alliance?!"
"That's right." Bancro nodded.
The Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire in the current "French-French Alliance" are actually on the same level.
No one in the two countries is more noble than the other.
And what Bancro said just now means that if they form an alliance with their Britannia Empire, then their Britannia Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire will not be on the same level.
It's a superior-subordinate relationship.
The Holy Hiram Empire is at the top, and the Britannia Empire is at the bottom.
This is too tempting for the face-saving Vasily.
Looking at Vasili with an excited face, Bancro said in his heart:
--Knew it……
——It’s the same as what Mr. Kamil said.
——Vashili is a person who loves success and loves face.
——I like the kind of things that can greatly increase my face.
——Form an alliance with the Holy Hiran Empire as the supreme and the Britannia Empire as the inferior. This kind of face-saving thing is something that Vasily likes best...
At the meeting at the end of last year to discuss and determine the Britannian Empire's next diplomatic strategy, Camille proposed her bold strategy of establishing an alliance with the Holy Hiran Empire.
At the same time, this method was also proposed that has a high probability of persuading Vasili to establish diplomatic relations.
This is why Camille said at the time that her method required a little sacrifice from Ilsa.
Vasili loves face. Once he proposes to establish an alliance with the Holy Hiran Empire as the supreme and the Britannia Empire as the inferior, Vasili will definitely be very excited.
Although this method was quite useful, it required Ilsa to make a huge sacrifice.
After all - not everyone can endure the humiliation of being inferior to others despite being stronger than others.
For example - Vasily. Vasily could not allow this method to be used if he wanted to save face.
But after Camille proposed her method, Ilsa agreed without hesitation.
"As long as it is beneficial to the Britannia Empire, I am willing to do anything." - These are Ilsa's original words.
Many ministers who opposed the formation of the "Hebrew Alliance" suddenly shrank their pupils after hearing the method proposed by Bancro just now, and then quickly came out and loudly persuaded Vasily.
But Vasili could no longer hear the voices of these people.
No, it should be said that although he heard it, Vasili automatically blocked all sounds from the outside world.
Vasili is now immersed in his own world.
He was fantasizing.
I imagined how majestic it would be if I formed such an alliance with the Britannia Empire, with his Holy Shiran Empire as the supreme and the Britannia Empire as the inferior...
…
…
Holy Hiran Empire, Far East.
El fiddled with the musket in his hand with skillful movements, filling the musket with projectiles and gunpowder.
The deputy commander of the Far Eastern Front, Chinor, stood behind El with a heavy expression.
"Chinor."
While El continued what he was doing, he continued to ask Qinor softly behind him:
"You suddenly came to me. Do you have something to report to me?"
"...Your Excellency, Marshal. Just now...a message from the central government has been delivered..."
"Your Majesty... has agreed to dissolve the alliance with the Frank Empire and instead form an alliance with the Britannia Empire."
As soon as Qinor finished speaking, El's movements immediately stopped.
After a while, El resumed the action at hand.
"...Tell me in detail how the envoys of the Britannia Empire persuaded Your Majesty to form an alliance with our country."
"yes……"
…
…
Chinor used the simplest possible sentences to summarize to El the details of how Bancro of the Britannia Empire persuaded Vasily.
When Chinor finished summarizing the details of Bancro's persuasion to Vasili, El just finished filling the ammunition for the musket in his hand.
El squatted on the ground, aiming at the target made of stone not far ahead.
Then--
boom!
Pull the trigger cleanly.
On the originally smooth target surface, there was now a hole made by the ammunition.
And this hole happens to be printed on the center of the target circle.
After finishing shooting, El put down the flintlock gun in his hand, which was still smoking thinly from the muzzle, and sighed softly:
"...Britannians are so smart."
"Perfectly capturing the weakness of our Majesty..."
"I doubt that the Britannian people's strategy to persuade our emperor was thought up by Camille..."
At this point, El smiled bitterly.
"In the entire Britannian Empire, if you want to say who is most familiar with the Holy Hiran Empire and our emperor, it must be Camille..."
"Knowing that our emperor loves face, he formulated this strategy based on this point..."
"Queen Elsa of the Britannian Empire is also very courageous... For the future of the country, she is willing to endure this humiliation that many people are unwilling to endure..."
"By the way, does Prime Minister Mond have any objection to your majesty's decision to form an alliance with the Britannian Empire?"
"No..." Chinoer replied in a deep voice, "Prime Minister Mond has no objection... He agrees very much with your majesty's decision... "
"As expected." El chuckled a few times, "After all, Prime Minister Mond's best thing is to flatter your Majesty and blindly agree with everything your Majesty wants to do and likes to do."
"... Marshal." Chinoer smiled at this time, "In fact... our alliance with the Britannia Empire is not that bad."
"I didn't expect the Britannia Empire to be willing to give us so many benefits."
"Not only are they willing to return the Muhavitz Fortress."
"We can also divide the land of the Frankish Empire together."
"At the same time, this alliance is still an alliance that respects our country."
"This alliance with the Britannia Empire is not bad."
