363, I just fancy you control Norway
"Is that true? There are such rumors on the European continent?" Tim couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "The envoy actually said such confident words. Are you not afraid that you will become the first precedent?"
"Well, this, Your Majesty Tim, don't do this!" The Danish prince was a little anxious: "We came to Lisbon with sincerity this time. We really hope to form an alliance with your country!"
Tim raised his eyebrows: "This time the countries that went to Lisbon came with great sincerity, such as the English, and the Venetian..."
"This..." The Danes didn't know what to say at once.
The Danish prince experienced few things, but the other Danish nobles who came with him this time were much more experienced. Seeing that the topic was a bit stiff by His Highness the prince, these nobles immediately took over the conversation:
"We have received news that His Majesty Tim has rejected the proposals of the English and Venetians, who have not even stepped into His Majesty's study, and we have the honor of entering His Majesty's study and being personally received by His Majesty, so we think His Majesty still has some good impression of our Kingdom of Denmark."
After hearing this, Tim couldn't help but look at the Danish nobleman. The Danish nobleman who just spoke was a white-haired old man. Although his facial expression was scattered, the wisdom in his eyes always existed. It can be seen that this old man has a few brushes.
"The old man said this very well. Since I chose to meet you this time, it shows that there is something in you that can attract me." Tim was too lazy to turn around the bush and said directly: "I had contacted the Kingdom of Sweden before, and they agreed to lend their Kiruna to our Kingdom of Nepton. Now I want to open a road to Kiruna at the port of Troms in Norway. At this moment, Norway is controlled by your Kingdom of Denmark. Therefore, if you agree with my suggestion and allow me to open the road at the port of Troms, then we will sign a contract and form an alliance immediately."
After hearing Tim's words, these Danes' faces changed drastically.
The Kingdom of Denmark is clear about the agreement between Tim and the Kingdom of Sweden, and to a certain extent, the Kingdom of Denmark hates Tim very much, because with the continuous wars over the years, the national strength of the Kingdom of Denmark has declined greatly. Under this circumstance, the climax of the independence of the Kingdom of Sweden has been one after another, and the Danes have felt that they are willing but not enough to do so.
Especially after the Swedes introduced the power of the Iberian Peninsula, some of their independent actions were blatant, so the Danes held grudges on the Iberian Peninsula. The Danish king had considered an expedition to the Iberian Peninsula more than once.
However, as the Iberian Peninsula gradually rose and monopolized commercial transactions in the western Mediterranean with lightning speed, the Denmark's king's idea was shaken again.
Faced with the increasingly powerful Iberian Peninsula, the Danish king was forced to propose a new plan, which was to build a harmonious relationship with the Iberian Peninsula before the relationship between the Swedish Kingdom and the Iberian Peninsula entered its honeymoon period.
This plan was proposed a long time ago, but it was because there was no suitable opportunity to establish diplomatic relations in Lisbon. Therefore, the Danes dragged on it again and again. Now that they finally got this opportunity, the Danish king hurriedly sent people to Lisbon.
Many Danish citizens and Danish nobles couldn't understand the king's plan, but the Danish king insisted on his own and did not allow anyone to discuss or oppose the plan. Although under the pressure of the king, many Danes supported the plan on the surface, Lili and the others still opposed it.
Unfortunately, the Danes who came to Lisbon to seek alliance this time were all those who were superficially supported but opposed the alliance behind their backs.
In their words, forming an alliance with Lisbon is like attracting a wolf into the house. They were originally disgusted with Lisbon, but now they heard Tim bring up the matter about the Swedish Kingdom, and in an instant, the faces of these people looked ugly.
Tim saw the changes in his expressions of these people and couldn't help laughing: "What? Look at your expressions, it seems that they are very dissatisfied with us. Since that's the case, why bother to come to Lisbon by yourself?"
"If it weren't for the strong request from our king, we wouldn't be willing to come to your Lisbon." A nobleman with a bad temper could not help but retort.
Before Tim could speak, the old Danish man immediately patted him, then signaled him to stay behind, and then turned to Tim and said, "His Majesty Tim, we are really sincere in coming to Lisbon this time, but you cannot ignore our sincerity and hurt us at will."
"The previous affairs of your country and the Kingdom of Sweden have already made us very troubled. We are reluctant to travel this time, but we have to follow His Majesty the King's orders." Speaking of this, the old Danish man's face turned cold: "As the ruler of the entire kingdom, I think you can still tell some things clearly, so I personally think that His Majesty Tim should not say less about this kind of words that hurt the relationship between our two countries."
Tim was stunned. Europeans also like to talk around the bush?
"I know that I have no consideration for what I have done before, but that is also impossible." Tim smiled helplessly: "I am very grateful to the King of Denmark for His Excellency Christian."
Then Tim changed the subject: "Although I know that saying these words will definitely hurt the relationship between our two countries, for the sake of our country's interests, I still have to say these words. My principle is very simple. As long as I agree to open the route of Kiruna from Troms, then there will be no problem in forming an alliance."
"You..." After hearing Tim's words, the old man who was originally kind-hearted and kind-hearted was also angry in an instant: "Does His Majesty Tim know what you are talking about? If you continue to say this, then we would rather not be an ally."
Tim spread his hands helplessly: "I have spent all the money on the Swedes. Of course I have to pay back the cost of the Swedes. I can't let my money go away, right? I still said that, if I agree with my request, we will form an alliance. If I don't agree with my request, then you can leave now. To be honest, I really don't like your country's strength. If you hadn't controlled the Norwegian region, I wouldn't have been too lazy to see you."
