Chapter 1599: ""

Because he was cowardly, he escaped his life in order not to resist to produce pride in the darkest sinking. Because of pride, he did not choose to live, so he rejected crude optimism.
Dazaiji (Japanese novelist and writer)
The price paid by the White Horse Kingdom to invite the Holy See to intervene in this war is part of its own sovereignty; the Holy See, which has accepted the White Horse Kingdom’s request, must be rushed under the capital of the White Horse King in order to truly get the price paid by the White Horse Kingdom. Before, let the Dragon Empire stop their offensive so that the White Horse Kingdom could end this war with the smallest possible cost.
If the battlefield advantage of the Dragon Empire is further expanded and the White Horse Kingdom pays too much for the armistice, then the agreement reached between the White Horse Kingdom and the Holy See will naturally be meaningless; then, if you want to appear in the Holy See of the White Horse Kingdom as a savior, On the contrary, it may become a looter in the eyes of the White Horse Kingdom, which is the result that the Holy See cannot accept anyway.
Why the White Horse Kingdom chose the Holy See as their compromise between the Holy See and the Dragon Empire, rather than their direct rival, the Dragon Empire; in the final analysis, it is not that the Holy See is stronger than the Dragon Empire, but the Holy See has excellent Diplomatic reputation.
The Kingdom of White Horse is as high as King Alfonso, down to ordinary civilians, and even the middle class aristocracy in the middle. They all think that even if their country eventually becomes a vassal of the Holy See, like the Principality of Kassel and the Feiyu, it is better than they were by the Dragon. Empire conquered strong.
The reputation of the Holy See was not accumulated over a day or two, but was slowly established over thousands of years; therefore, if the Holy See could not help the White Horse Kingdom to persuade the Tianlong Empire to cease the war as soon as possible, then their previous agreement with the White Horse Kingdom would be They are invalidated by themselves, and even they will take the initiative to give part of the benefits to the White Horse Kingdom to express their apologies.
This is the Holy See. They can do whatever they want to achieve their goals, but more important than achieving them is to maintain their good reputation; no matter how much the top leaders of various countries dislike the Holy See, the majority of the people of the entire continent still believe in The Holy See advocates the of light they believe in. This is where they succeed and is also the benefit of an excellent reputation.
On the ninth day of Marshal Longde Stead’s invasion into the White Horse Kingdom, the first day that the six provinces in the eastern part of the White Horse Kingdom had been completely blocked by the two White Flag cavalry, Archbishop Innocent came to Tianlong with a heavy mission Seeking Bai Feng outside the imperial imperial palace.
Bai Feng, who was discussing the empire's battle against the White Horse Kingdom with his ministers, immediately received a report from Yulin Tiewei. He immediately suspended the meeting and asked his ministers to go to the side hall first to meet the British who came to see the initiative in the palace. Archbishop Northon.
"His Majesty Frederick, I came here with a mission this time." As soon as Archbishop Innocent walked into the Hall of Deputies, he opened the door straight away: "Our Holy See wants to mediate the war between your country and the Kingdom of White Horse, I do not know His Majesty. Would you like to give us the opportunity of the Holy See."
Bai Feng has always preferred to deal with Archbishop Innocent. Although Archbishop Innocent is a very difficult opponent, his honesty and boldness are also appreciated by Bai Feng; only this time, Bai Feng, who has the advantage Not easy to let go.
"My Excellency Innocent, our Heavenly Dragon Empire is a peace-loving country. If the army of the White Horse Kingdom first invaded our empire's Lüsonghang and Delexing provinces, how would our empire's army need a labor expedition?" Bai Feng covered his face No way.
"Your Majesty Frederick, I know that the White Horse Kingdom first drove their troops into the territory of your country, so I came with full sincerity." Archbishop Innocent did not change his face: "As long as your country is willing to do so During the truce, the Kingdom of Hakuba is willing to withdraw from the provinces of Lusong and Dele, and establish a demilitarized zone in the provinces of Galicia and Asturias."
"Establish a demilitarized zone in the provinces of Galicia and Asturias?" Bai Feng smiled dumbly, pointing to a war report on the table: "Your Excellency Innocent, this is Ronde Stede The latest battle report sent by the Marshal; from this battle report, it seems that the provinces of Galicia and Asturias can no longer execute the orders of the Kingdom of White Horse."
"In addition to the establishment of demilitarized zones in the provinces of Galicia and Asturias, the Kingdom of White Horse can pay your country a total of one billion gold war reparations in ten years." Archbishop Innocent knew The White Horse Kingdom could not afford such a large sum of money, but he still said so, because he was ready to pay for the money on behalf of the White Horse Kingdom by the Holy See.
The billions of gold coins are nothing to the wealthy Holy See. If you can use gold coins in exchange for the leap-forward development of the Holy See in the Kingdom of White Horse, let alone one billion gold coins, even two billion gold coins, three billion gold coins The Holy See is willing to come out.
Archbishop Innocent looks like I will keep raising the price if you don’t make a price, so that Bai Feng is not good enough to make a sloppy eye, after all, he does not want his relationship between the empire and the Holy See to be too rigid; after a little thought, Bai Feng made a bid Code Road: "The war compensation of 2 billion gold coins, plus ceding the six eastern provinces, as long as the White Horse Kingdom promises these two conditions, we will immediately cease the war!"
The so-called negotiation is that one side asks for the price, and the other sits on the ground to bargain. But even so, Bai Feng's asking price still makes the unspeakable Archbishop Innocent show a shocked look; such conditions are seen by the Archbishop Innocent It is not a truce condition at all, but Bai Feng wants to continue the war, because these two conditions are too excessive!
The annual revenue of the White Horse Kingdom is only two or three billion gold coins, and the two billion gold coins are worth the total revenue of the White Horse Kingdom for ten years. Such war compensation is obviously unrealistic; even if the Holy See is willing to pay for the White Horse Kingdom How can we solve the problem of land cut for this huge sum of money? You know, the total number of provinces in the White Horse Kingdom is only sixteen!
Archbishop Innocent, who originally wanted to refute, after seeing Bai Feng's slightly teasing eyes, he gave up all his rebuttals and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Frederick, the war compensation of 2 billion gold coins The White Horse Kingdom can give , But the cession of the six provinces is impossible; unless your country really has the power to overthrow the White Horse Kingdom and forcibly annex it, no matter how the war continues, your country will not be able to get the six in the eastern region of the White Horse Kingdom. Provinces."
Of course, Bai Feng knows that his empire does not have the strength to annex the White Horse Kingdom, and the Holy See will not allow his empire to annex the White Horse Kingdom, so he adjusted the price directly: "Galicia Province and Asturias The provinces must be ceded to our country, and the other four provinces, Baima Kingdom, can be redeemed at the price of 500 million gold coins per province."
After a long silence, Archbishop Innocent aggravated his tone: "The war compensation of 1.5 billion gold coins will be paid off in ten years, and the ransom of 1.5 billion gold coins will be paid at once."
"Deal!" Bai Feng laughed and agreed to come down.
