Chapter 1206: 1207 Armistice and Peace Treaty

 The Mirage Emperor who saw the telegram... should now call him the island owner, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally ended this **** war, and he could be considered to have saved... half, or rather a small half, of his country.

At least from this moment on, the road for him to go from the main island to the North Island has been opened. The warships of the Tang Empire will no longer attack the ships of the Mirage. As long as he speaks and acknowledges this treaty, he will most likely be able to go to the North Island safely. .

 To be honest, he now has an impatient urge to get in front of the microphone and announce the good news to all the people: the war is over! The war is completely over!

"Finally, it's over." He took a deep breath and said to the ministers in front of him: "The Tang Empire accepted our surrender, and the war...is over."

Several ministers also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: they were fed up with this one-sided war. Rather than saying that they are at war with the Tang Empire, it is better to say that they are unilaterally withstanding the attack of the Datang Empire.

All the attacks they launched, including fatal suicide attacks, were neutralized by the military equipment of the Tang Empire. This made it impossible for them to die together with the soldiers of the Tang Empire.

This is simply a kind of humiliation, but fortunately the humiliation is over now. It's just that the price of ending...is a bit huge.

"According to the provisions of the treaty, our captives can be returned... That's hundreds of thousands of people... We can..." Even though Mirage Dabo knew his own ending, he still offered advice to Mirage Emperor.

Emperor Mirage glanced at his prime minister, nodded and said: "The population of North Island will increase dozens of times. What we will lack by then is not labor, but food."

He smiled bitterly as he spoke: "The Tang Empire promised to provide us with food, but everything has to be purchased with money. There are some ores and fisheries on the North Island. In short... it is still possible to buy some things to sustain ourselves. "

 These basic trades are more like charity in the contract. The Tang Empire allowed these goblins to go home and keep them alive... like a charity.

 At that time, the Mirage Kingdom will have to rely on a **** poor place like North Island to feed the population that could only be supported by four islands.

In less than a year, the goblins themselves will start fighting, and he, the so-called owner of the North Island, will not know how to deal with it by then.

“It’s just that the industrial system is completely over, all industries are over!” Finally, thinking about Beidao, which has almost no industrial foundation, Mirage Emperor is even more depressed.

It’s not accurate to say that there is no industrial foundation at all. In fact, North Island still has some industrial foundation...it’s just a few hydropower stations and thermal power stations, a few shabby airports, and a few small factories that look like workshops. Really It can be said that it is not worth mentioning.

Expecting a little bit of industry is almost the same as having none at all. Moreover, the North Island is a bitterly cold place, and development there is subject to many restrictions.

"Your Majesty, it's just starting from scratch. We still have a chance." Mirage Dabo comforted him.

Hearing this, the Mirage Emperor became filled with resentment. He snorted and said dissatisfied: "How come we still have time to start over from scratch? The Tang Empire continues to develop, but we have to continue to stand still in the future..."

Mirage Dabo continued to emphasize that the goblins still have their own opportunities: "Your Majesty! In fact, we still have a chance! You see... we are already a vassal state of the Tang Empire. As long as we do not act disobediently, the other party will They won’t continue to exploit us.”

He talked eloquently and awoke the still confused Mirage Emperor: "This is a good time for development, because if the Tang people want to annex us, they can actually do it now! The reason why they did not do this means that They will not choose this way in the future, at least, they will not choose this way in the near future..."

I have to say that Mirage Wen Dabo’s point was very accurate. The Tang Empire was indeed not prepared to annex the Mirage Kingdom. This is also the reason why the Mirage Kingdom was able to continue to live on the North Island.

If the Tang Empire was willing to destroy the Mirage Kingdom, it would be impossible for the Mirage Kingdom to persist until winter came. Even if they persist until winter, the Mirage Kingdom will be completely conquered next spring.

  But it is obvious that the Tang Empire was unwilling to accept the goblin race, so it gave the goblins a private land like Beidao.

From this point of view, Mirage Wen Dabo sees a future in which the goblins may regain their strength: Look at the Chu State that serves as a dog for the empire. It is obvious that this dog can live better and develop faster than other countries!

That’s why Dabo Mirage said this and was so sure that Mirage still had the possibility to rise: “In order to make other countries believe in the Tang Empire and maintain the relationship between subordinate countries, the Datang Empire even gave us some benefits. Let us set an example.”

"Therefore, I feel that although we have paid the price of land, we have gained an opportunity for development!" When he said this, he stopped and looked at Mirage Emperor.

"It would be better if you could continue to assist me." The Mirage Emperor, or the owner of the North Island, sighed and said to Mirage Dabo who was standing in front of him.

He regrets it now. Talents are hard to find. It is indeed a waste to let such an experienced and somewhat competent minister die. Thinking of this, he glanced at Mirage Wenxin. This minister who had been spared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire seemed to be worse than Mirage Dabo.

 Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now, because the fate of Mirage Dabo has been determined by the contract between the two countries.

Not only him, but also Mirage Wu Ke, the general of the Mirage Kingdom, is now waiting honestly for his fate.

Mirage Wenxin felt that he should find a hole in the ground and crawl into it... He had never even flirted with the Tang Dynasty Empire. Why did the Tang Dynasty Empire mention him in the negotiation?

 In fact, he has been thinking about this issue a lot recently, and the reasons he thought of include even being praised and killed, but he does not think that he has the qualifications and is worthy of the Tang Empire to do this.

So he thought another possible reason was that the Tang Empire just said it casually, and he might have heard the goblin diplomats mention that their chief officer was called Mirage Wenxin...

Hence, the Tang Empire casually mentioned his name, Mirage Wenxin. As a result, just saying it casually made him feel helpless.

 The Mirage Emperor felt bad again when he saw Mirage Wenxin averting his gaze in vain. He clenched his fists, but did not dare to really get angry at Mirage Wenxin.

 Because he also knew that if Mirage Wenxin was really from the Tang Empire, or fell into the eyes of a nobleman from the Tang Empire, then if he got angry at Mirage Wenxin, he would most likely be retaliated by the Tang Empire.

However, if Mirage Wenxin is not from the Tang Empire, and his anger at Mirage Wenxin seems to have fallen into the Datang Empire's counter-intentional plan, this is obviously a mistake.

 Happy to both sides, Mirage Emperor did not make such an irrational or smart choice. He just withdrew his gaze, and then discussed with Mirage Dabo the follow-up plan of the Mirage Kingdom's migration to the North Island.

 Why should such a plan be discussed in front of Mirage Wenxin? In fact, this is also an attitude. If Mirage Wenxin is really from the Tang Empire, then he will spread the news back to the Tang Empire that Mirage is really preparing to migrate.

What Mirage Dabo said earlier made Mirage listen, and it actually meant to reassure the Tang Empire: Mirage just wanted to cling to the thick legs of the Tang Empire and be a dog, and it no longer had any small thoughts such as revenge. .

 In fact, there is really no desire for revenge. The goblins have been frightened by the terrifying war capabilities of the Tang Empire, and those who dared to fight... seem to have been killed.

 The Mirage Kingdom's ability to persist until now mainly relies on the crazy loyalty and fanaticism of its citizens towards the Mirage Emperor. Now those fanatics, as well as the brave soldiers, have been exhausted in this year-long war.

They died from repeated charges, from using sting mines to attack enemy tanks, from driving suicide planes, from driving suicide speedboats...

 In short, they are all dead, and the only ones left are just cowards and some ordinary people.

For the people of the Mirage Kingdom, there is still a lot of good news. At least the orc troops have never fired artillery again after receiving the order from the Tang Empire.

The rumbling sound of cannons that accompanied the ears of the goblins in the Mirage Kingdom all day long finally stopped on this day. They no longer have to hide and live in hiding, and finally they no longer need to worry about whether their lives can be saved.

 Among the ruins, the soldiers of Mirage Kingdom could finally get up and feel the chill of the cold wind blowing on their faces.

 They did not dare to raise their heads before, because the orc archers would punch holes in their heads. Now they could look at the orc soldiers opposite and see the weapons and equipment across the road that he didn't dare to look at before.

 They have so many helmets, their machine guns are so good, their cotton coats are so thick... They are so tall.

 In the afternoon of this day, the Mirage Emperor read the armistice peace treaty to all the people on the radio. He officially declared that the war was over.

At the same time, it was also announced that the Mirage Kingdom no longer exists, and there will only be Beidao in the future. Many Mirage civilians burst into tears, and some Mirage officers even chose to commit suicide after the war.

 Subsequently, the Mirage Emperor announced another news that made the civilians cry louder: they would be forced to leave their homeland, abandon their land and homes, and go to the North Island... to continue living there.

This migration is destined to become a mirage and goblin disaster.
