Chapter 659: 665 Loa Armistice Treaty of Peace and Friendship
Chapter 659 665 "Loa Armistice Peace and Friendship Treaty"
However, Archbishop Link didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, our situation is already bad enough, even if you add Sivinaya and the Destruction King Kong Legion, it's no big deal. And finally decide this The winner of the war is no longer on the battlefield on our side."
Archbishop Link showed a rare sense of powerlessness on his face. After the gods behind various countries and organizations intervened, this war was indeed out of his control.
If he really let him take command, the Church of Holy Light would not face such a bad situation at this time, and it would have erupted with all its strength and deployed troops from various void worlds.
With the background of the Holy Light Church, there is no guarantee that there are three to five million troops, tens of thousands of legendary powerhouses, and hundreds of natural disasters.
Even if several other countries join forces, the Church of the Holy Light can push it back.
This is the strength and heritage of Holy Light Church, even the mighty Condor Empire is far behind.
Unfortunately, when Archbishop Link proposed these measures, it was directly denied by the Pope of the Church of Holy Light. As for the reason, it was very simple. The great Lord of Holy Light did not want to expand the scale of this war.
Actually, in the eyes of the gods, this is just a game, not a war of life and death.
Since it is a game, it must have rules and maintain a certain degree of fairness. If you blindly hurt people, you will lose the fun of the game, and other gods will directly lift the table and stop playing.
Therefore, the Church of the Holy Light can only use the No. 1 Void World and the relatively limited support from the outside world, but cannot fully mobilize and completely let go of their hands and feet to fight.
That's why Archbishop Link, the so-called supreme leader, feels so awkward, yet very helpless. If it were something else, he might be able to fight for it with His Majesty the Pope, but the Lord of Light has already issued an oracle, This is the highest order, absolutely cannot be changed, the gods cannot try to resist, otherwise it is a crime of blasphemy.
But Archbishop Link couldn't figure out what the Lord of Light was thinking. Did he just watch his church fail, and just give up the great interests of Void World No. 1? Or do you have any other ideas and plans?
Archbishop Link stood by the window in the middle of the night countless times and looked at the prosperous City of Holy Light below. He did not want to destroy this magnificent city, nor did he want his loyal church to decay, and he could not tolerate himself being a loser.
But he couldn't understand how the real gods thought about it anyway.
Perhaps this city, which looks like a dazzling pearl to him, has no value at all in the eyes of the Lord of Light...
On the other side, in the kingdom of Asgar in the main world.
After Grand Duke Moharis was forced to retreat, the army of the Kingdom of Lorenzo never encountered any resistance or trouble, and arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Asgar smoothly.
As for the legendary defense of the capital, there was no such thing. When the army was still more than 300 kilometers away from the capital, King Lancelot V of the Kingdom of Asgar sent a letter of surrender, expressing his unconditional surrender.
Lancelot V immediately made the wisest choice after learning about the situation of Grand Duke Moharis, giving up his struggle and surrendering to the Kingdom of Lorenzo.
This Lancelot V is very aware of current affairs, and found that even the Archduke Moharis was beaten back in a very embarrassing manner. He knew that this time it would be hard to escape. Like, just don't kill me.
In this way, on the third day after the army of the Kingdom of Lorenzo arrived in the capital of the Kingdom of Asgar, a "Treaty of Armistice Peace and Friendship between the Kingdom of Lorenzo and the Kingdom of Asgar" was newly released.
At this moment, Green is sitting in the King's Palace on the outskirts of the capital of the Kingdom of Asgar.
After all, as an aggressor, although the Asgar Kingdom is a little softer, there are still some insightful people and patriots who are not afraid of death. In order to take care of these people's emotions and reduce trouble, the army of the Kingdom of Lorenzo did not Entering the capital flamboyantly, he was only stationed in the barracks in the suburbs, which is also what Silabel meant.
After becoming the queen, Silabel is not blindly tough, and sometimes the means of being soft in the middle are quite clever.
Of course, this is still to leave some leeway for Lancelot V.
After all, in order to keep the family and the throne, His Majesty's integrity has been lost. After some secret talks, the two royal families have reached an agreement that Lancelot V can help the Kingdom of Lorenzo get as much war compensation as possible. , including cessation of land and indemnity.
In return, the Kingdom of Lorenzo will guarantee and help Lancelot V keep the throne, and cut off some domestic opposition.
When Green saw this secret agreement for the first time, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a coquettish operation, colluding with the king of a country to betray the country.
But after carefully reading this secret agreement, Green suddenly realized.
Although Lancelot V is the king of the kingdom of Asgar, the kingdom does not belong to him completely. There are many huge families in the local and central regions to check and balance the royal family. This is like a large-scale listed company, the chairman of the board. Although it has the most nominal rights, it only holds a small part of the company's shares, and more shares are scattered among the hands of other shareholders.
For the kingdom of Asgar, including the former kingdom of Lorenzo, those big nobles, big capitalists, and big landowners are these small shareholders.
Although the shares they hold are small, they can't stand it together! Through mutual marriages or secret alliances, these people have formed several huge political and economic groups that are no less powerful than the royal family, and they are arguing with each other in terms of national policies. .
This time, Lancelot V planned to use the Kingdom of Lorenzo to eliminate some powerful groups in the country.
Of course, Queen Silabel is not stupid. The content of the entire secret treaty adheres to the principle of equal exchange. If Lancelot V wants to get as much benefit, he has to pay as much as he can. of…
Green took the treaty and read it from cover to cover.
The entire "Lorenzo Kingdom and Asgar Kingdom Armistice Peace and Friendship Treaty" is not much content, only less than three pages, which is also full of a large number of legal provisions, as well as remarks and explanations.
There are less than ten real core clauses.
The most important thing is that the Kingdom of Asgar ceded the five provinces bordering the Kingdom of Lorenzo, and transferred the suzerainty of the 15th Void World, and compensated the Kingdom of Lorenzo for military and property losses, a total of 560 million pounds. .
As the culprit who started the war, including three dukes, six marquis, and twelve earls, will be tried as war criminals…
"Five provinces?" Green looked at the map next to him and found the five provinces above.
Both border the Kingdom of Lorenzo, and one of the provinces of Alsa is very large. The five provinces together have a total area of 1.1 million square kilometers, which is almost equivalent to the original land area of the Kingdom of Asgar [25 %], plus a No. 15 Void World, and 560 million pounds of indemnity.
This time, the Kingdom of Asgar has suffered heavy losses, and its vitality has been greatly damaged!
But for the royal family of Asgar Kingdom, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
Although the defeat caused a great loss to the royal family's prestige, the actual benefits did not suffer much, but instead took the opportunity to gain some benefits.
After all, those nobles and officials who were designated as war criminals, Lancelot V directly looted the wealth of these families under the banner of arresting war criminals.
In the end, not only did the 560 million gold pounds in indemnity have been collected, but there was also an extra 20 million gold pounds in income!
As for the five provinces that were ceded, they were also 'carefully selected'. They were all against Lancelot V's family fiefdoms, or the provinces that were firmly controlled by those families. That said, the loss isn't too big.
Green put down the text of the treaty and frowned slightly, but he always felt that something was wrong.
seems to have gone too smoothly from beginning to end. If the Asgar Kingdom is too scumbag, it is nothing to be defeated on the battlefield, but what is the situation of the king Lancelot V so actively betraying the country?
With the adoption of this paper treaty and the changes in the domestic situation in the Kingdom of Asgar in the past few days, this Lancelot V is definitely not a foolish piece of shit, doesn't he understand the consequences of doing so?
Although it seems that the royal family has gained a lot of benefits, they took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and stabilize the rule of the kingdom.
But other nobles are not fools, how could they not see the means of Lancelot V!
Most of these nobles still support the royal family and are loyal to the Kingdom of Asgar. What Lancelot V does will inevitably disgust these nobles.
Different from Sirabel's blood moon coup d'etat, Sirabelle really planned to kill all the opposition at that time, so that everyone was silent, even if they dared to be angry, they did not dare to speak. And Silabel's biggest reliance is to have the support of natural disaster-level powerhouses in the country, so that he can unscrupulously slaughter and liquidate and clean up the kingdom.
Lancelot V, the original three natural disasters, Lao Ba Jin died directly on the battlefield. The rest of the Virgins also pledged allegiance to Princess Moulesina and became a **** placed in the kingdom of Lorenzo in the future. Only the natural disaster of Nantes who escaped was left, but it was a great noble from the north. It was equal to Lancelot V's hands, and there was no natural disaster that he could trust.
Thinking of this, Green became more and more strange, what was this Lancelot V thinking?
Or, is there any unknown hole card behind him? Otherwise, unless you are stupid, you will never do this.
