Chapter 473 Peace Negotiation
With the implementation of the will of the Earl of the North, and the revolutionary army itself also revealing its willingness for peace talks, the ceasefire was reached faster than expected.
Of course, this sudden snowstorm is naturally responsible for this.
After all, the army in the north has relatively good cold protection measures. Although the colonial garrison is terrible, there is still no problem with the basic protection it should have.
On the other hand, the revolutionary army is a group of poor workers. After becoming the revolutionary army, they fought more for their ideals. They did not pursue anything in terms of treatment.
In previous battles, many people wore thin clothes and braved the cold to fight, which also caused a certain degree of non-combat attrition to the revolutionary army.
If the colonial garrison was not so embarrassing, and the Revolutionary Army quickly organized and resumed production to provide logistical support for the Revolutionary Army soldiers after seizing the city, I am afraid that this blizzard would have caused great losses to them.
However, even so, the invasion of the blizzard still caused the Revolutionary Army soldiers on the front line to lose their combat capabilities. If Perfectcott really launched a direct attack regardless of casualties at this time, the Revolutionary Army established in Stansall City The defense line will be defenseless.
Faced with this reality that they could not refute, even the representatives of the revolutionary army who were most opposed to the peace talks had to pinch their noses and admit that the peace talks were beneficial to them.
So after the wind and snow stopped, Kallen arrived at Stansall City with several major representatives of the Revolutionary Army, preparing to welcome the negotiators from the north.
They took it for granted that Perficott would not appear in person, or that he might just make an appearance. After all, they themselves thought it was impossible to expect the Earl of the North to come and talk to them about this kind of thing.
I feel that it is impossible for Purficott to have such sincerity, and I also feel that it is impossible for her to have such leisure time.
However, when the Earl of the North's airship appeared over the city of Stansall, everyone realized that Perficott really intended to negotiate.
Although she transferred two standard steam knights from the northern border for the purpose of deterrence.
This time it is not the self-disciplined knights, but the real knights of the north.
The Dragon Slaying Banner Team of the White Bear Knights and an elite flag team of the Iron Fire Knights served as Perficott's guards this time, always guarding her.
But what appeared earlier than these two flag teams were the flying knights in the north.
Yes, after such a long time, Perficott finally perfected the Flying Knights and assembled a flag team of twelve people to form the first Flying Knight flag team in the North.
This time, Perficott also brought them out and announced their presence to everyone by taking off directly from the airship and landing at the negotiation venue.
“Damn, it’s actually a flying steam knight!” Kevin’s face turned green after seeing the flying knight. He has seen how difficult the steam knight is to deal with, and now there are actually flying ones. ? How to fight this battle?
In fact, it was not just Kevin who turned green, but also the representatives brought by Kallen.
Their expressions also became very ugly, even though some of them were still dismissive of the Steam Knight before. However, no matter who you are, when you see such a big iron lump flying in the sky, and then smashing it in front of you like a hero, and making a hole, the impact that hits your face will make you No matter how tough-talking people are, they clearly realize that tough words are never as tough as fists.
Not to mention, the steam knight itself is very oppressive, and the flying knight installs various auxiliary equipment to realize the flight function and protect the knight himself during the flight. Ficott also deliberately enlarged the size of the Flying Knight's armor, making it look close to three meters.
It’s okay to be so frightened that their faces changed. Some revolutionary soldiers who had no knowledge at the scene were so frightened that their legs went weak. They collapsed directly to the ground and kept praying to the whole father. They are normal people. The appropriate reaction.
Fortunately, Purficott quickly landed from the airship, arrived at the negotiation venue, and asked to start negotiations directly without making any further fuss about the matter, which relieved the situation.
So both sides entered a formal state of negotiation, but the incident itself still had a great impact on the revolutionary army. After all, negotiations are often a psychological game, and the display of force as a deterrent is undoubtedly A very effective means of negotiation.
Judging from the current results, even if Purficott did not intend to take advantage of this, the revolutionary army fell into passivity from the beginning.
“Listen, the end is coming, and I have a lot of things to do, so I am serious about this peace negotiation!” Purficott resumed his original identity and treated Israel with a particularly serious attitude. The revolutionary army negotiator headed by Kallen said: "You can make any demands you have, but before you ask, I hope you will think carefully about whether the demands you put forward are reasonable or not. Don't make demands that are completely impossible." Open your mouth.
Although I don’t want my troops to make unnecessary sacrifices due to the impact of this snowstorm, if you really want to refuse this kindness, then I don’t mind using the Steam Knight. Knock down all your defenses.”
There is no doubt that this is more of a threat than a statement.
Faced with Purficott's attitude, a representative of the revolutionary army changed his face on the spot and wanted to stand up and yell at Purficott.
However, just a look from the steam knights behind Purfict made him sit back again, not daring to say anything.
On the other hand, Kallen was calm and calm at this time, nodded affirmatively and said: "Although your words are very unpleasant, I can hear that you are indeed sincere in negotiating peace, so what are your conditions? What is it? First of all, it is absolutely impossible for the revolutionary army to surrender."
"Well, is this your bottom line? Then my bottom line is that the empire does not accept division." Kurt looked at Kallen. At this moment, she was a little pleased with Kallen's growth, but she would not give in on what should be discussed: "What the empire needs is stability, and the New World colonies are also very important to the empire and the north. meaning, so any form of division of the New World is intolerable
To this end, I will ensure this even if it means taking some measures that I don't want to use.
As for other matters, they are within the scope of negotiation, including the establishment of an autonomous territory. "
"Dominion? Can the Empire really accept this kind of thing? "Karen looked at Purficott, feeling this was a bit incredible.
