Chapter 504: 504 All Quiet in the North
Chapter 504 504 All Quiet in the North
Far away in the luxurious palace in the imperial city of Nanla Empire, Mo Kangsen looked at his son-in-law, the emperor of Nanla Empire, with a resentful expression.
This time he came here to deliver a telegram from the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty to Nanla XVI. He has actually read the contents of the telegram and knows how important this telegram is.
Nanla XVI has just read this telegram. The content of the telegram is not long, but what is written in it makes him a little unhappy.
Now, his empire is at war with the Lions Empire, but the Lions Empire is in a more passive situation, and it seems that he can get some advantages from the battlefield.
But at this moment, His Majesty the **** King of the Tang Kingdom sent a telegram, asking him to give face and make peace with the Lions Empire.
For an emperor, Nanla XVI believed that such a face-saving statement was simply an insult to his IQ!
In the face of national interests, aren’t personal friendships just child’s play? How can an emperor change the national strategy because of some personal relationship or friendship?
You must know that the Nanla Empire passed on the crisis and conflicts in this war and received a lot of benefits. Now that he can reap some benefits from the Lions Empire, how could he stop casually?
Why? Um? Why? Why could the king of the Tang Dynasty make him, the emperor of the Nanla Empire, change his will with just one word? Doesn't he, Nanla XVI, have no face?
However, at least on the surface, Nanla XVI really couldn't get angry. He really wanted to give face to the king of the Tang Dynasty whom he had never met before.
There was no way. His life had been saved before. That time, the timely delivery of medicine really saved the dying Nan La XVI.
Facing the savior must be given no matter what, but in terms of national affairs, other considerations must be made.
Nanla XVI felt that if Tang Mo came to visit the Nanla Empire, he would definitely give him the highest level of hospitality. He could even be equal to Tang Mo regardless of the status of the other king.
Whether it is a beautiful woman or a priceless treasure, he will not be stingy. As long as Tang Mo asks, he will even give him the gems in his crown without hesitation.
But a personal relationship is a personal relationship, and now is the critical moment for the Nanla Empire to regain its strength and rise! How could he give up such an opportunity just because of a telegram?
"Mo Kangsen...what do you think...how should I do it?" Putting down the message in his hand, Nanla XVI looked at his father-in-law.
Mo Kangsen was a little embarrassed. He scratched his cheek with his hand, considered it for a moment, and then answered: "Your Majesty, actually sometimes, favors are more comfortable than interests..."
“It sounds...comfortable?” Nanla XVI really didn’t expect that his father-in-law would actually say such a sentence.
It’s not surprising that he was doubtful, because in terms of pure ability, a minister like Mo Kangsen, who was half-dandy and one-third mediocre, had no bright moments to leave a deep impression on His Majesty the Emperor.
In fact, if Mo Kangsen tried to hold it in himself, he really wouldn't be able to make such an unclear sentence. He only learned such a sentence because he got another telegram from Datang.
This sentence is actually to remind the Emperor of the Nanla Empire, who may not be able to see the situation clearly, to let him think carefully about the real content of this telegram.
Hearing the word "comfortable", Nanla XVI immediately reacted. Anyone who can sit on the throne of the emperor is naturally a good person, and some words can be understood immediately.
He also knew that Mo Kangsen might be a talker, and the other party wanted him to know that it was important to save face when talking about relationships, but the other party didn't want to make things too complicated.
Nanla XVI had to calm down and think carefully about whether his savior was really just chatting with him about personal friendship.
Frankly speaking, Nanla XVI still didn’t know much about the terrifying energy of the Datang Group. As the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he could not directly feel the terrifying oppression of the Datang Group.
He really didn't know that when the Datang Group was at its most terrifying, it single-handedly suppressed the most powerful countries in the current trade alliance and did not dare to have any disobedience.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty Group began to advance westward that the world powers, which were originally too afraid to fart, started to engage in today's melee farce.
Now that the Datang Group is back, we hope that all countries will do business honestly and in a disciplined manner. Many countries have settled down again and are ready to accept the conditions of the Datang Group.
However, although we don’t know how ruthless the Datang Group is, His Majesty the Emperor of the Nanla Empire still knows some of the influence of the Datang Group within the Nanla Empire.
At least the father-in-law in front of him and his own queen were deeply influenced by the Datang Group. There are also the immortal prime minister and some officials who have received benefits, all of which are inextricably linked to the Datang Group.
"You have always had a good relationship with Prince Tang... Tell me, do you think Prince Tang, who is far away in the world, has the ability to really stop this war?" The cautious Nanla XVI asked in front of him. humane.
Mo Kangsen finally understood why his friends in the Tang Dynasty asked him to remember so many complicated diplomatic relations.
"The Tang Kingdom, or the Datang Group, has always supported the dwarves of the Ice Empire. Their relationship is very strong. The dwarves have not gone to war with the countries in the trade alliance, so 80% of them will continue to cooperate with the Datang Group. Choose a truce," Mo Kangsen said in a calm manner.
After finishing speaking, he paused. In fact, he was recalling what he had memorized before coming: "The Orc Kingdom of Gales has had little foundation since its restoration. As long as the Datang Group threatens them, they will easily succumb. Choose a truce with the Yangmu Kingdom."
“I understand.” After hearing what Mo Kangsen said, Nanla XVI immediately realized that Datang Group really had the possibility to quell this war.
Once the Gales Kingdom and the Poplar Kingdom ceased war, the Pinewood Kingdom would definitely not be able to persist on its own, and would definitely agree to peace talks.
In this way, the Ice Empire, the Kingdom of Gales, the Kingdom of Poplar, the Kingdom of Pinewood, and the Kingdom of Susas all withdraw from the war.
In other words, the entire northern part of the continent will restore peace in a short period of time. If the Nanla Empire continues to fight against the Lions Empire, it will waste the precious opportunity to resume trade and develop peacefully.
In fact, after expanding some territory to the north, the Southern Empire also benefited. If we withdraw from the war at this moment, we will actually not suffer any loss.
In a sense, if what Mo Kangsen said is true, and if peace can really be restored in the northern part of the continent in a short period of time, then the armistice seems to be more beneficial to the Nanla Empire.
After all, it would take a lot of time and bet on the consumption of the war to expect the Lions Empire to be defeated by enemies from both sides and then compromise and give up its interests.
How long the Lions Empire can last, or how long the Datang Group, which is willing to give blood to the Lions Empire and cheat the Nanla Empire, hopes that the Lions Empire can sustain it, is not something that the Nanla Empire can decide.
At that time, there will be no war dividends and losses cannot be made up through victory. The advantages that the Nanla Empire has already gained will be in vain.
Nanla XVI fell into deep thought. He was weighing the pros and cons. He was thinking about how long the Nanla Empire could last with the Datang Group if the Datang Group really started to support the Lions Empire.
Finally, he came to the conclusion: In fact, the Nanla Empire could not last long. Once the war is protracted and there is no hope of victory, everything the Nanla Empire swallows now will come back to bite the Nanla Empire.
It seems that the other party's show of kindness is actually just to give him, the emperor, a step down. On the surface, he could even say that he had returned the favor for saving his life... Thinking of this, Nanla XVI felt that he really seemed to have taken advantage!
Slightly stunned, Nan La XVI suddenly felt a little grateful to Tang Mo. Then he picked up the telegram again and read the words on the paper again.
Then, he raised his head and told Mo Kangsen: "Go and find the Ambassador of the Tang Kingdom. I have something to say to him."
Mo Kangsen knew that his work was done, and he quickly got up and exited the room. His increasingly fat body seemed to be unable to squeeze out of the door.
Looking at Mo Kangsen going out, King Nanla XVI sighed. It would be great if the old immortal prime minister died. The Mo Kangsen in front of him was much easier to deal with than that old man.
At the same time that King Nanla XVI summoned the envoys from the Tang Kingdom, a shocking news suddenly came out, which shocked the Bunas stock market and also began to affect the futures market.
After taking advantage of the situation, the Kingdom of Susas suddenly announced that it would exercise restraint in the future and stop war after annexing a neighboring country, and promised that it would not declare war on any country in the next year unless it was invaded. .
As soon as the news came out, the stock market in Burnas rose and everyone began to celebrate. Everyone believed that the war might finally be over!
Soon, just a few hours later, the Ice Empire also announced a cessation of war. This news made people who were paying attention to this war completely rejoiced.
Amid everyone's astonishment, negotiations between Gales and Yangmu, Yangmu and Pinewood suddenly started. Although no one knew how long the talks would take, the news that the negotiations had started actually came out.
What is even more surprising is that the three countries announced at the same time that they would stop all military operations during the peace talks. The war in the entire northern part of the continent ended abruptly in one day.
