Chapter 211 Doing some "little things"
On this day, the Imperial Military Affairs Department of the Kaya Empire suddenly became busy.
——Yesterday, fierce battles broke out in several places in the chaotic zone.
The Military Affairs Department needs to quickly put together the results of the battle and forward them to the Foreign Affairs Department.
Here in the chaotic zone, the frontline generals who maintain contact with their respective countries know very well that this incident is almost over.
In other words, whether it is to finally "get a piece of cake" or to bring more advantages to colleagues at the negotiating table, now is the last chance.
Under such circumstances, both sides started the "final battle" in unison.
Although it is not the kind of battle that attacks all fronts, the scale is not small.
That night, the old gentleman from the Military Affairs Department came to the Foreign Affairs Department with the compiled frontline intelligence.
In the office of the Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs, he met Sonia who looked a little tired.
After handing over the information in his hand, he smiled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work! This is the intelligence from the front line. Our brave soldiers and nobles have brought some good news. I want to be on the negotiating table." You can relax a little bit.”
After briefly looking through the information in her hand, Sonia said unhappily:
“But there is also bad news, isn’t it? For example, another unlucky guy was killed by the other party. Captured?”
The old gentleman smiled and continued:
"You have to think on the bright side. Although this will increase your negotiation burden, part of the negotiation results will be paid for by the nobles themselves, right?"
"That's true!"
Hearing the old gentleman's comfort, Sonia's expression relaxed a lot.
Part of the Kaya Empire’s army in the chaotic zone is a private army of nobles.
While the Kingdom of Crean did not retreat, the nobles caught the troops of the Kingdom of Crean and beat them up, capturing many of the military forces of the Kingdom of Crean.
After the Crean Kingdom withdrew, they did not leave directly.
After exchanging benefits with the Empire, they began to assist the Imperial Legion in the confrontation with the Caesar Empire.
In fact, the reason why the nobles are willing to stay in the chaotic zone is due to the exchange of interests from the empire.
But in addition, they also have the intention of training troops.
In the civil war between human races, even if you lose the battle, you can still be taken as prisoners and wait for redemption by your friends.
But the battle with the orcs is different!
Orcs don't care whether you are valuable or not, most of them are relatively "simple".
In the case of common language barriers, they will slap an ax to show their face if they don’t like it.
Under this premise, the nobles are actually more willing to pull out their private soldiers to fight against the Caesar Empire and accumulate combat experience.
It’s better to surrender anyway than lose your life to the orcs in the future.
And they have already "made a fortune" in the Kingdom of Crean.
Even if you need to pay a ransom, the pressure is not great!
"Are the negotiations going well?"
After briefly talking about the situation on the front line, the old gentleman asked about the negotiations again.
Sonia said:
"It's not bad, there will be victory and defeat for each other. If the development continues normally, we will delay signing a strategic cooperation agreement with the Munn Empire. They will not interfere in the development war and compensate us with a sum of materials."
Listen to Sonia. As soon as he said that, the old gentleman couldn't help but reminded him:
"Please order more supplies. This conflict will cost the Military Affairs Department a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Sonia frowned a little. :
“I would like to, but that is not up to me. If the frontline can give me a big victory, or if the Moon Empire puts further pressure, then the Foreign Affairs Department may still be able to Give it a try.”
"There is definitely no chance on the front line. As for the Munn Empire, you also know their situation."
The old gentleman was helpless to Sonia's request.
Although various departments of the empire and even the nobles are trying to find ways to obtain more bargaining chips for the Department of Foreign Affairs, it is not that easy.
At the beginning of the outbreak in the chaotic zone, the nobles of the empire were divided into two groups. The first is to postpone the strategic alliance with the Munn Empire, and the second is to unite the Munn Empire to attack the Caesar Empire.
The reason why we finally decided to postpone the strategic alliance with the Munn Empire is because the current situation of the Munn Empire is somewhat embarrassing.
——There was something wrong with their old emperor’s physical condition.
This has resulted in the Munn Empire now being less willing to overly stimulate the Caesar Empire at this delicate time when "imperial power change" may occur.
It was because of this fact that the Kaya Empire unanimously decided to postpone the strategic alliance with the Munn Empire.
After skipping this question, the old gentleman and Sonia had a brief chat before leaving.
As for Sonia, after the old gentleman left, she began to continue thinking about diplomatic negotiations.
Although Janissa's sudden recovery a few days ago caught them off guard.
But then, as Janessa's condition began to decline again, they easily regained their previous slight disadvantage and even gained a slight advantage.
However, in today’s negotiation, Janessa’s condition recovered again.
Although Janessa goes to the commercial street to buy new "goods" every day, it is foreseeable that:
Those things can no longer have much impact on her.
Thinking of this, Sonia felt a little helpless.
If you really want to continue this "despicable plan", you may have to find a way with Brand.
But obviously, this is not realistic!
As a member of the royal family, she understands Brand's situation better than others.
Brand is no ordinary civilian. Behind him are two major backers, the Holland family and the Imperial Mage Academy.
His own strength and power cannot be underestimated at all.
In addition, in the eyes of the vast majority of nobles in the empire, Brand is actually considered a "quasi-noble".
So it’s definitely not okay to force Brand to do something against his will.
As for the exchange of interests...
Sonia felt that it didn’t matter whether Brand was willing or not.
Even if Brand is willing, the "asking price" will definitely be high and the gain will not be worth the loss!
After all, even if Janessa is missing, their Foreign Affairs Department can only allow the Caesar Empire to compensate some more resources.
This extra compensation may not necessarily be much higher than Brand’s “sale fee”!
“So, we still have to think about whether there are other ways.”
Sonia wanted to think about the negotiation again.
But unconsciously, she began to become distracted.
By the way, last time she made an appointment to go shopping with Brand...
Although she had tried hard to "suppress" this matter before, the time spent shopping was also Infinitely delayed.
But when thinking of Brand today, Sonia couldn't help but recall Brand's voice and smile...
Just in time... Both parties also decided to take a day off tomorrow...
Thinking of this, Sonia began to fight in her heart!
If she was in good condition, she would definitely be able to resist this "temptation"!
However, the intense negotiations over the past few days have made her a little mentally exhausted...
……
Still in the dormitory, still reading.
Brand received Sonia’s communication request again.
After greeting each other for a while, Sonia smiled and extended an invitation to go shopping together tomorrow.
Hearing what Sonia said, Brand was a little curious and said:
"Going shopping tomorrow? Have the negotiations with the Caesar Empire ended?"
"Not yet, but it will be soon. Because I have a day off tomorrow, I want to go shopping in the imperial capital and relax."
Sonia said so, and Brand naturally had no objection.
It just so happened that he was going to the imperial capital to do some "small things" in the past two days.
