Chapter 235: Twenty-one. The Birth of the Giant Beast (4)

"Look at my awful body bone, and it's a little thing that can crush it to death."
Metternich shrinks his shoulders bitterly—[shrug] This movement has also been extremely exhausting for him.
"It's ironic. The plan we made painstakingly was as fragile as my body, and a small rumor almost caused it to abort."
Looking at the white hair of his old friend's temples, his gaze couldn't be concealed in his expression. The foreign minister smiled bitterly.
Due to his own illness, all the pressure and troubles have been directed to Richelieu recently. The prime minister of the kingdom alone will only be more difficult than his sick days. Judging from Richelieu's depressed expression, the contact plan, which has continued to be enforced, has hit the rocks under the undercurrent and suffered heavy setbacks.
"Speak, Plessy. I am going to see the mother goddess, there is no need to hide anything from me."
With a strong request for death, the cardinal, who could not refuse, nodded and said with a deep face:
"The people sent to contact Albion and Castile are back."
"Returned...that is, which two countries refused to provide assistance to our country?"
Metternich sighed long.
It is not easy to ease relations with two neighboring countries on land and sea.
Suspicious Albion, stubborn Castile-to convince them to believe that Charlemagne intends to lift the current critical state of the trigger, in the current political environment that is completely equivalent to no mutual trust, it is too much to do this Hasty and difficult. The preparation is far from [sufficient]. Before sympathizing with Charlie Man’s tragedy. They may have to think about speculation first, whether there are any tricky traps hidden behind the aid application, and then decide to formulate the aid policy based on the research.
"Although it is difficult to tell, it still seems to be cheeky like Ymir asking for help, if it is the imperial will under the pope, how much..."
"They agreed."
Shaking his head, Richelieu denied Metternich's hypothesis.
"……what?"
As if it were not his own voice, the stunned squeeze squeezed from Metternich’s throat, and looked at the ordinary face of Richelieu’s iron mask with a stunned face. Metternich noticed that the dim sapphire was embedded in the blue pupil of the iron mask. Bloodshot around.
It is clear. The Prime Minister of the Charlemagne Kingdom had just lost his temper, and he is still angry. What did guys from those two countries say or do? Can it cause Richelieu, who has always remained calm, to be so hot?
"Albian and Castile agreed to provide food aid to our country, but with a condition attached."
This is actually quite normal. The two countries have not spread love so that every time their neighbors are in trouble, they must provide unconditional and wholehearted support to them. Paid assistance can also be a contest against the opposition in their respective countries.
It's just that the condition in exchange was the root cause of Richelieu's furious, nails pierced deeply into the palm of his hand, and the trembling fist leaked bleeding beads.
"They asked for a peace agreement to end the state of war with an official textual agreement with legal effect, confirming that Flanders, Brittany and Calais are [the sacred and inalienable part of Albion since ancient times]. Then. The signing place of the aid agreement and the peace treaty is designated as the hot spring castle in the forest of Compiegne, and they will appoint the Duke of Normandy as the plenipotentiary to attend the signing ceremony."
A torn metal voice came to the bedroom. Metternich's disfigured face suddenly turned into a dangerous blood red, and his thin claws scratched on the bed sheet for a while, then letting go loose.
"The plan is completely over!"
Accompanied by unwillingness and despair, sobbing came from the depths of the ill-treated person's heart, and Richelieu's vigorously restrained face was also covered with gloom.
[Continental System] After Gouyan's panting, he officially entered the tomb at this moment. The two planners painfully confirmed the results, and then handed out the death certificate.
They had thought that Albion would blame, or simply refuse, while encouraging Castilla to do so. Therefore, he was prepared not to see Charlemagne collapse. Yimir, who affected the stability of the human camp, asked for help. As long as the pope gave the aid instruction with religious justice, no matter how reluctant, those two countries can only agree to provide food aid to Charlemagne. But they never imagined that Albion would make such a mean trick.
The last war was a truce signed in the hot spring castle in the forest of Compiegne. Since the end of the war was ushered in by failing to return Albion to the island, after spending a lot of lives and money, the goal of the war did not progress at all. In the hearts of many Charlemagne, [Compiègne Forest] is the symbol of humiliation embodied by Albion and Emil.
On the land with unpleasant memories. Is the Duke of Normandy, the most active invading Charlemagne's territory, signing an agreement to permanently cede the territory in exchange for a temporary charity? No government with a normal brain can bear the consequences of doing so. No matter the nobility or ordinary people, they will get rid of the government that did so. Then consider using fists to discuss the ownership of those places.
"This kind of extreme humiliation cannot be accepted by anyone, and domestic anti-Albion sentiment will enter a heated state. Any voice that eases relations with Albion will be the target. Your Majesty also reprimanded me for this matter."
Richelieu's plain way of telling people would make people mistakenly think that the king wanted to work hard for him, but just reprimanded a few words. Metternich, who has a deep understanding of the inside of the palace, is clear that Charles IV is not an unconditional and generous old man. When Albion's arrogant reply touched the supreme ambition and the scale, the cardinal church favored on weekdays Withstand an extremely difficult storm.
As for their plan, who will mention it? Who wants to put on the hat of the "selling thief" and live the day of the violent crowd guarding against assassinations or shouting "Tianzhu thief" and "Qingjun side"?
Without the support of the king, the people and nobles also refused to accept it. [Continental System Plan] is equivalent to being spine bones removed. It's impossible to stand up and walk~EbookFREE.me~ Not to mention any development possibilities.
"Cough...is...cough...is Walsingham's claim?"
Metternich coughed and asked, huge anger burning in the sick body, he stared at the ceiling.
A competent, cold, Walsingham resembling Richelieu.
In a short time to come up with this vicious idea and encourage the wicked King Edward to act in tandem with Castile, in the Albion court, there is only the Secretary of State.
