Chapter 722 Two Outsiders
It seems that the Northern Kingdom must have threatened Prince Lucian, or given some promise...or all of them?
After staring at the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom for a few times and guessing his possible methods, Queen Veronica did not ask a direct question, but stared at the dark, lean middle-aged man. He reminded with a calm expression:
“Prince Lucian, this matter is of great importance to you and our two countries, so you don’t have to make a decision now. You can wait a few days and send someone to contact the game. Queen Veronica, let's see what her attitude is. Besides..."
After glancing at the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom, Queen Veronica raised her voice slightly, as if she was talking to Lucian. The prince seemed to be addressing all the envoys:
"The interests of the kingdom may not be exactly the same as yours, but if the kingdom behind you loses what it should have gotten because of your irrational decision, then the result will be something that none of us want to see."< br>
This reaction speed... is amazing!
Looking at Queen Veronica, who guessed her private negotiation method after just a few seconds of silence, and immediately began to counterattack, a flash of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Northern Kingdom’s Foreign Minister. color.
Although the methods of negotiating with envoys from various countries are different, the core idea has not changed. They are all about temporarily detaching the "envoys" from the kingdom behind them, and then constantly raising the level of the matter. , so high that they cannot afford the possible impact, thus forcing them to remain silent.
If you want to solve the current situation, most people's thinking is to use tricks to reduce the pressure on envoys from various countries, and then "downgrade" the importance of the matter in order to regain the support of allies.
Not only did Queen Veronica not do this, she even added a handful of dry firewood to the fire and chose to escalate the situation. Her words, which were not strong in tone, contained a deeper threat. .
If the envoys of the allies did not express support for her, then although she could not resist those who wanted to share a piece of the cake, she could hold the knife to cut the cake, so that the retreating allies could only get the minimum share of the cake. .
The kingdoms that can become allies are generally intertwined with each other and have deep interests, so it is not so easy to break up directly.
So just as she cannot take the initiative to attack her allies because of their lack of support, because they did not stand up to support her, it is also difficult for several allies who have suffered huge losses in the process of dividing interests to directly revenge.
The legacy of the Kingdom of Korok is too huge. No kingdom can be greedy for it. If such a huge piece of cake is lost due to diplomatic mistakes, someone must stand up and take responsibility for it. As for the person responsible...
Who else could be there besides us? !
After understanding the meaning of Queen Veronica's words, the envoys from various countries present felt their hearts tightening, feeling that a black pot heavy enough to kill an elephant was silently hanging on their foreheads. On the child, it may be buckled down with a bang at any time.
Although the interests of the kingdom are not our own interests, if the kingdom loses the huge benefits that it should have obtained, then what we have to lose is not just interests!
“I have something to say about the remnants of the Kingdom of Korok.”
Soon, an envoy stood up and spoke seriously on behalf of the kingdom behind him. Road:
"For them who have lost their homes and have just settled down, there should be no further setbacks. It is most appropriate to maintain the status quo!"
"Second."
I saw someone opening the door. After bowing his head, another envoy immediately stood up and expressed his position:
"Since Princess Philia, the only survivor in the royal family of the Kingdom of Korok, has agreed with the current results, then We should show respect." "That's right!"
Following Princess Veronica's flirty words, the allied envoys who had been reluctant to step forward due to the threats from the two kingdoms, but due to greater pressure, stepped forward one after another to express their support for Queen Veronica. .
With the voices of these envoys, the originally one-sided situation suddenly reversed. Even because the envoys were eager to express their stance, their voices were louder. They were obviously the weaker side in terms of numbers and power, but there was even a faint hint of confusion in the scene. Some of the flavor of fighting against each other.
……
I’m sure, politics is really something I don’t understand.
Seeing the quarrel in front of them getting more and more fierce, with the envoys quarreling and taunting each other with quotations, Leon, who was two heads tall, couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyebrows, and then turned towards Veronica. The Queen cast an admiring look.
If we only talk about the pure intelligence level, I may not be worse than these people, and may even be higher. However, these messengers are all specialized individuals selected from tens of millions of people.
In addition to being talented enough, each of them has also received national-level training and at least ten or twenty years of targeted experience. They can often make three or four twists and turns in one sentence. Sometimes it takes me a long time to realize what they are sarcastically and alluding to.
Veronica is the youngest among them, but she can deal with these envoys who are full of quarrels with ease. No matter how sharp the problem is, she can easily deal with it, and sometimes even respond casually. One sentence can make the other person's face turn white and red, and he can't cope with it for a while.
To be honest, if we were not at a private banquet, but in a more formal place like a conference room, where there were conditions and requirements for speaking, I felt that she alone could defeat the more than 20 envoys opposite. She was defeated in all the arguments. It can be said that her ability in quarrels and diplomatic consultations was really stretched to the limit.
“Hey!”
Just as Leon looked at the noisy envoys and tried to analyze the meaning of their words to see if he could learn a "Diplomatic Proficiency" badge, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
“Hiccup… would you like some?”
After passing the tray in her hand to Lyon, the female cleaner, whose belly was bulging after eating, looked satisfied. Commented:
“Your wedding was stingy, but you hired a good pastry chef. The butter tasted soft and light, and the cake tasted good, better than what I had in the north. All cakes are delicious... bur... do you want to try this? "
Huh?
After taking the plate she handed and looking at the cake inside, he found that the color and appearance of the cake were a bit familiar. Leon couldn't help but feel his heart tightening. Then he suddenly turned back with the plate in hand and looked at Veronica for this... Customized wedding cake for the banquet.
Sure enough, there were nine layers stacked from bottom to top. The super large cake tower that was supposed to be cooked by the armor-piercing old man and distributed to all the important guests had disappeared completely, leaving only On the plate he was holding, there were two pieces of "residues" not much bigger than a palm.
щ(Д)
No... then this is a cake for 150 people! Are you going to eat it all by yourself? !
