From the perspective of the relationship between the two countries, if France is allowed to choose, they must hate Britain more than Rome.

It was precisely after seeing this that Lucretius used this as a reason to speak.

"You thought I would be afraid of him! Speaking of which, Rome would dare to send an envoy over, even a little Britain can't handle it."

Piping is still very strong.

He finally had the opportunity to be in power, so he naturally needed to show his authority more.

Facing the prince in front of him, Lucretius' expression became more...respectful.

He changed his angle and continued.

"Of course not, brave highness.

It's just whether your subordinates can be as brave as you.

Oh! I almost forgot. His Royal Highness Charlemagne in the north is your younger brother. He may be as brave as you. If you continue to fight, you may be able to win and let the whole country remember his name."

Since Britain has no effect for the time being, replace it with Charlemagne.

Before coming here, Lucretius did his homework.

His words caused Piping to fall into silence.

"..."

That's right! He may not worry about Britain's problems, but he must worry about Charlemagne's problems.

The king's body has not yet recovered, and it may not even be able to recover.He must consider the consequences of Charlemagne's power.

Otherwise, once Charlemagne is in control, even if he becomes the king, too.

Thinking of this, Piping began to seriously consider the possibility of withdrawing troops.

It's just that he didn't want to withdraw troops so easily, at least to get some benefits, and even make people think that they won.

After Piping was silent, Bismarck walked out.

"According to the information I have received, your country has been devastated by the attack of the Thunder Emperor from the north, and the King of Britain has just defeated your Western Legion.

The Roman horror is now powerless to fight France again."

Bismarck spoke of Rome's current predicament.

From the current point of view, the situation in Rome is not good.

It may be an opportunity for France.

But Bismarck also agrees with Lucretius' initial statement that Britain is a big threat.

It might be a wise choice to get the benefits of a truce instead of making Britain cheaper in their war.

"The Prime Minister has been worrying a lot, let's not say that the north has already been enlisted by the great emperor.

In the east, the Knight King did not completely defeat the Roman legion, otherwise he would not stop there.

Not to mention, in that battle, Marshal Boudicca of Britain was injured and temporarily unable to advance eastward."

Lucretius responded calmly to Bismarck.

What he said was the truth, but there were some subtle changes in the way he said it.

"I don't doubt the determination of the French warriors, but if this war continues, I will wait for the two countries to waste their national strength in vain, and finally make Britain a bit cheaper.

Compared to the war between us, maybe we can unite to restrict Britain."

In the words, Lucretius made a very attractive suggestion.

"This idea sounds good."

Piping was a little moved in an instant.

Bismarck saw that something was wrong and immediately reminded him.

"His Royal Highness, the truce between us and Britain has not yet expired.

The credibility of a country is no better than that of an individual. Once lost, it will produce a series of adverse reactions. Please be cautious."

The country and the country are not...individuals and individuals, and others who personally repent of something feel that this person is shameless at most.

But once the countries repent, other countries may not have any peace treaties with you later, because with the previous examples, no one will believe that this country can complete the peace treaty.

On this continent, this approach will not only discredit the king, but also plunge the country into an abyss of dishonesty.

Even if you lose the battle afterwards, the other party may not even want to talk to you.

"I know, I know.

You're right.

It's just Britain, I don't need Rome, I can do it alone.

Britain, which is a big threat to you Rome, is nothing in my eyes."

Piping is still sober, and he has not agreed to break the contract.

This inevitably makes Lucretius feel a little pity.

Just when the topic seemed to be about to stop, another nobleman came forward.

"My fellow citizens, I think I can seriously consider the suggestion of the Roman envoy."

Marla felt it was time for her to do her best.

"This lord is"

Lucretius didn't know this...offline, and asked curiously.

"Marla, Earl of Lorraine."

"Marla, tell me what you think."

Piping thought about it for a while, and said.

"Everyone, there is only one reason why I think Rome's proposal is acceptable.

Because in my eyes, Britain is the...the biggest trouble.

Have you forgotten, the shame that Chen Bing, the former king of Britain, made us panicked to the south."

Marla began to use the previous events to give Britain hatred.

His words really resonated with many people.Think about it carefully before, especially the nobles in the east.Some of them were played as monkeys and were put in the circus for people to watch.

no.322 peace talk

Lucifer's previous actions were equivalent to slap them in the face.It was okay if they didn't say it, but once they said it, their hatred for Lucifer rose rapidly.

"We have not forgotten, but this is different from the present."

Bismarck responded calmly.

"The Prime Minister has noble character, and I am deeply respected.

But in my opinion, it's... one thing, two years ago, he defeated us, a few months ago, he was still: threatening us.

Now he has defeated the Roman legion.

It is conceivable that if we do not want to contain him, we may face a huge trouble once he starts offensive again.

Or in other words, in the next two years, how many times will we have to endure the humiliation of the past.

We can no longer let Britons do whatever they want."

Marla held her arms high and said her hatred for Britain.

He was originally from a nobleman in the west, and it is normal to say that he hates Britain.

Others were immediately brought to the rhythm.

"Yes! Don't let: Britons continue to do whatever they want."

"Yes! Britain is the enemy."

...Looking at the wave of anti-British voices gradually forming in front of him, Lucretius smiled slightly, and he suddenly felt that the plan seemed to be unexpectedly smooth.

"There are a lot of people in France who know how to organize it. It would be great to have this, so to speak of truce..."

However, just when Lucretius was about to say that a truce could be made, Marla continued to speak at this time.

"Master Lucretius, the war that I have been trapped in the north for many years is not what the king wants to see.

It's just that we spent so much manpower and material resources, and now we are about to win, but you let us take the initiative to withdraw from the war.

Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?"

Speaking of this, everyone understands that when the conditions are negotiated, the conditions are good and everything is easy to talk about.If the negotiation is not good, they can also reject it smoothly.

They just hate it after all.

Britain did not agree to retreat.

"Not ridiculous.

Nor did it take the initiative to withdraw, France withdrew from the war for the friendship between the two countries.

To express our sincerity, I am willing to give up the land twenty miles south of the fortress, recognize it as a French territory, and pay 30,000 gold coins as a proof of friendship."

Lucretius offered his terms.

But it was immediately rejected by Bismarck.

"not enough...!"

"..."

"For the land ten miles away, pay 150,000 gold coins at the same time."

The Bismarck Lion opened his mouth and more than doubled his bargaining chip at once.

"Yes! Otherwise we will never take a step back."

Piping also immediately agreed.

"..."

While Lucretius was thinking, Marla on the other side also said timely.

"No! An additional condition should be attached."

"I don't know what the conditions are"

"France can withdraw its troops, but the premise is that after Rome, it must go north and defeat Britain.

No, forget it, saying that defeating may be a bit difficult for you.

But you will bring Britain back to the Fortress of Victory before our treaty will come into effect."

Marla's condition made Bismarck feel bright.

This condition is equivalent to letting Britain replace France in a game, and now the benefits of France are also coming.

"Ok.

I agree with Marla’s suggestion to hand over half of the war settlement money first, and we immediately withdraw our troops. After that, if the above conditions are... met, the treaty will be invalidated."

Bismarck immediately thought it was feasible.

Of course, the biggest reason why he agreed that in addition to these benefits, was that he did not want to see Lucifer's expansion.

According to the intelligence he collected, this time Lucifer Lei Di's cooperation is likely to expand the territory.

"...Your Prime Minister, you won.

I agree to this condition and can now declare it on the spot.

Presumably the King of France is not the kind of country that speaks against each other."

"of course not!"

This agreement on the armistice was completed under conditions acceptable to both parties.

Bismarck didn't want to see the expansion of Britain, Marla was an inner ghost, and Pepin didn't want to see his brother stand in power, and finally Lucretius needed to liberate his troops from the southern battlefield.

It can be said that all the key personnel have got what they want.
