Chapter 397 Marriage (2)
Chapter 397 Marriage (Part 2)
"The main forces in the Western Continent basically agree, including the Principality of Basang. Gelinglan has other forces except the Second Princess, but..." Horry hesitated for a moment before looking at Song Ge and said, "The Hill Dwarfs are a bit tricky. They did not agree or disagree, and their attitude was relatively ambiguous. And Gelinglan's second princess can basically be determined to be opposed."
There are two main forces on the coast of the western continent of Ireland, one is the Gelinglan Empire and the other is the Hill Dwarf. It can be said that if the Belt continent lands from the other side, the first one to be attacked was definitely these two countries. The Gelinglan Empire has now split into several forces, but the current situation is that it will be destroyed without reinforcements, and several forces should agree. Why does the second princess disagree? Song Ge is slightly puzzled. Although Song Ge is not sure about the Hill Dwarf, he can vaguely guess the purpose of their doing so.
"For what reason did the second princess of Gelinglan refuse?" Song Ge asked.
"She disagreed with the conditions we proposed, such as mining rights for minerals, lowering tariffs, and sales contracts for some materials, etc.." Overall, the meeting went smoothly, but the disharmonious voice of the Second Princess made Huang Shi feel very unhappy.
Nodding, Song Ge frowned and thought, Song Ge prepared two sets of plans for this meeting, one targeted small and medium-sized countries and scattered forces, and the other targeted relatively powerful countries like Gelinglan. Both plans are basically based on economic plunder, and occasionally some land cede clauses are partly cede. However, in order not to arouse the disgust of various countries, the places Song Ge selected were barren or chaotic. After consultation by the leaders of the four-nation alliance, it was basically certain that they would not be opposed. However, it seems that the second princess seems very dissatisfied.
"Hmph, this second princess seems to be afraid of anyone, and she doesn't think about her situation in China." The bear king Nicholas has always had a straightforward temper and shows his dissatisfaction with this princess very directly.
"It seems that no one is afraid?" Song Ge asked in confusion.
"It looks fearless." Queen Ferati sat next to Song Ge and said with her head turned around.
Song Ge was surprised. The situation in Gelinglan is indeed as Nicholas said. This second princess does not have any advantage. What qualifications do she have to be fearless in such a continent-wide cooperation conference?
Song Ge's mind suddenly flashed through his mind. If this is the case, maybe the second princess would really not be afraid...
"Let's not talk about her for now. Besides her, there are also hill dwarves who have not expressed their opinions, right? I will deal with this, but I don't think there will be any problems in the end." Song Ge needs to wait to verify his guess, so he changed the topic, "What about the Southern Continent? What is their attitude?"
Since the Belt continent attacked from the south, compared with the northern countries, the losses suffered more, and negotiations should be more smooth.
"The Dragons are not represented, I don't know what they are thinking. Slo's exile government is basically ignored now, and the Karahadi Empire also agreed to cooperate with us in principle, but..." Flanger said this and glanced at Huangshi, without continuing.
Others in the room also showed strange expressions on their faces, and Huang Shi's face changed even more.
"What's wrong?" Song Ge looked at everyone strangely, what could make these people look like?
"They want to marry." Huangshi Grand Duke was the most in a wheelchair and his face was not good.
"Marriage?" Song Ge was a little dizzy, "What kind of marriage is it? Who will we marry?"
"With you!" Huang Shi's face became worse, as if someone owed him 100 million purple gold coins.
"Me?" Song Ge pointed at his nose, surprised in his heart. Marriage, what a powerful word, it seems that he had only read it in history books on earth. He didn't expect that one day it would happen to him.
"What's going on? Who's going to tell me?" After calming down his mood, Song Ge asked with some amusement.
"That's right. We talked with Svenson well. Now everyone knows their situation. He agreed to our request without bargaining, and even agreed to the issue of ceding two islands. But in the end, the old emperor didn't know what he thought, and actually wanted you to marry his daughter. Otherwise, he would rather destroy the country than cooperate with us." Loha said Svenson's meaning.
Marry his daughter to me? Song Ge immediately understood a lot of things when he heard this, but he still asked: "Is this daughter Princess Yujia?"
"Who other princesses can be shown besides her? Is there any other princess who can match you?" Huang Shi snorted coldly, obviously knowing that once the marriage is successful, his unique position as a king and father-in-law will be gone.
I understand, Song Ge now knows why when she saw Yu Jia as Shui Nan, the princess often lost her composure, and also understands Yu Jia's resentful and helpless look at her last night. She should have known that she might be married. In other words, Svenson and the Karahadi Empire royal family had a plan to marry long ago, but it had not been implemented yet. Because although the empire was at a disadvantage at that time, it basically stabilized its defense line, and even had a stalemate between her and the Belt continent. The reason why Yu Jia was so eager to buy 120,000 sets of new metal weapons from Shui Nan, and even used her mother's relics as bargaining chips, was to use these new equipment to gain the initiative on the battlefield, so that the marriage plan would not need to be implemented, and she would not have to marry someone she didn't like. It was just that Victoria's sudden loss made her plan empty and the marriage plan was implemented.
Song Ge smiled bitterly. He knew Svensen's thoughts. This scheming emperor would not have imagined the situation of his country. With his own country's strength, he obviously could not fight against the Belt continent. Seeking assistance became a necessity. Now only the four-nation alliance is capable of helping Karahadi. Since he needed help, Sensen naturally knew that he had to pay the price, but his cleverness than people in other countries was that he saw the purpose behind Song Ge.
The confrontation between the two continents has only three consequences. One is that Ireland is defeated, and all countries become vassal states of others, or they are simply annexed; the other is that the Belt continent is defeated, and Ireland will win the aggression war; the third is that both sides will draw, or both sides will suffer losses. It depends on the situation. If the situation in the Ireland continent is better, Belt may retreat. If Belt is better, it may form a long confrontation, which may be possible for ten or a hundred years.
If it is the first situation, then it goes without saying that both Karahadi and the Four-Nation Alliance will become history and be missed by future generations. Once it is the second or third situation, the strength of the Four-Nation Alliance after the war will undoubtedly be the strongest. The conditions of this meeting will allow the Four-Nation Alliance to control the economy of the mainland and become the dual overlords of the economy and military. Although all countries survive, they will have to obey the mercy of others in the future, and in a few years, they will become complete vassals of the Four-Nation Alliance.
Svenson knew that the Four-Nation Alliance was not a good man and a woman. This could be seen from letting go, regardless of the life or death of the Slo Empire. After the war, once the time was ripe, they would eat the big cake of Karahadi without hesitation. Even if they didn't swallow it, they would get cramps and peel off the skin and tarsal bones and suck marrow. This is something Svenson didn't want to see, and this meeting sounded good to invite the mainland to join the alliance, but Svenson would not believe it naively. He knew that even if all the forces in the mainland joined this organization, the core part would always be those four countries. So Karahadi's old emperor made a move. Isn't the core of your Four-Nation Alliance Babane? Not a foreign prophet
Is it? Well, I will have a good relationship with him directly. Didn’t this foreign prophet have a puzzle to express his feelings to the mainland? Then I will give you a beauty, or the second beauty in the mainland who is more beautiful than all your wives. In this way, even if you are a family, you can truly enter the core of the Four-Nation Alliance. The Four-Nation Alliance should be renamed the Five-Nation Alliance. Once these become reality, Karahadi enters the core level of the Four-Nation Alliance, then with Karahadi's strength and foundation, it will not take long to surpass Huangshi and Red Moon, and achieve a transcendent position like the Orc Alliance and the Elf Kingdom. After the war, he will still control the hegemony of the mainland.
At the same time, he was not afraid that the Four-Nation Alliance would disagree. Svenson's strategic vision was no worse than that of any one. This joint meeting seemed to have the upper hand, and he looked like a savior of the upper continent, but this was for others to see. Svenson admitted the strength of the Four-Nation Alliance and admitted that they did have the strength to compete with the Belt continent, but he did not think that the Four-Nation Alliance would win. Even if a miracle happened and the Four-Nation Alliance drove away the invaders, they would be greatly injured and became the fish of others.
The Lahadi Empire is not the Slo Empire, it is the most powerful country on the continent. Once it is destroyed, the rich resources and large population of the country will become the Belt continent. This is enough to increase Belt's strength a lot overnight, and it will be even more difficult for the four-nation alliance to confront each other, so they will not watch Karahadi's demise. Of course, Svenson can also wait, and when the four-nation alliance takes the initiative to send troops to help him, but the empire must have been riddled with holes at that time, which Svenson doesn't want to see.
Therefore, based on the above reasons, Svenson proposed a marriage request and put forward an attitude of not having to talk about anything if you don't agree. As for whether his usually beloved daughter is willing and whether she will be happy in the future, it is not something he, a politician, can consider.
