Chapter 1033: Seventeen.10 word intersection (2)

"You, hesitation will lead to the destruction of the kingdom, we can only move forward!"
The conference table sounded, and the man supported the table with one hand and clapped on the thick document with one hand.
"If you stop talking now, all the efforts so far have been in vain! The people will not accept this kind of thing! The soldiers who are fighting the front line are even less likely to accept it! This is a stabbing knife in the back!!"
This is obviously the consistent statement of the military. If it really comes from the soldiers-more precisely from the army staff, the red deer only have war in their minds. Who dares to stop them, then the goods must be " The "national thief who stabbed the knife behind", and the "national thief" must be taken out of heaven. They always think so and do the same.
It was originally prepared to cope with the military's turmoil, and in any case, it must be prepared for peaceful consultation. Roland felt suffocated, and even stunned that the above-mentioned speech was actually a civil official of the government, and was also a heavy minister in charge of diplomacy. Was he cold and fever so hallucinating? Or did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs change its brand and changed it to the "War Department"?
Before he could figure out a rough idea, the Foreign Secretary added another knife.
"Even if the country becomes a scorched earth, never give up any territory!!"
-This is going crazy! !
The man from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had just sat down and another man got up from his seat. Roland remembered that he was from the Ministry of the Interior.
"The Ministry of the Interior has the same opinion."
The tone is not fierce, and the gentle tone like the spring breeze speaks the words full of gunpowder.
"Under such conditions to reconcile, even if peace is obtained, the kingdom will lose its future."
"What does it mean?"
Confused from the heart, unable to understand the behavior of the ministers and bureaucrats who have long been peacefully abandoned, Roland couldn't help asking.
"What do you mean? Does the Holy Girl really don't understand?"
A pair of eyes about to fly out glared at Roland, and after understanding the fact that there was no intersection between the two sides, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of the Interior sighed softly.
"Separators and heretics are allowed to steal land, criminals are at liberty, and they can enjoy stolen goods with peace of mind, but the victims can't even get compensation... No one will accept this kind of ending."
In fact, there are not many such things. Axioms and justice do not always come as scheduled, but most people simply cannot accept the conclusion that the world is not fair.
That's right, just emotionally unacceptable.
Just like in gambling, gamblers who lose red eyes time and time again look forward to the next time to go, completely disregarding that they have already lost their money. Charlemagne has invested too much gambling money, money, resources, human lives in this war... It has been swallowed up by the meat grinder-like war and disappeared without a trace. Now the country has reached the point where the young and strong labor force is completely exhausted, and women and the elderly have to enter the factory, let the children produce the necessities of life, and throw the fields to the plundered foreigners for cultivation. If you compare the current Charlemagne to critically ill patients, it is now time to decide whether to conservatively treat or enter the intensive care unit, cut the trachea and esophagus, and rely on the machine to maintain life.
It is precisely because of this that the victory over the fortress of Isherlen is so inspiring, and the chance of peace gained by many lives is even more precious.
"Please be blunt, this is the best truce we can expect now."
Regardless of whether the other party understands or not, Roland decided to make things clear, completely break those unrealistic delusions, and let everyone face the reality correctly.
"The kingdom has now reached its limit. If we continue the protracted war, the attitudes of the nations will change. At that time, we will have to face the situation before the Raiders of Isherlen fort, which is even worse than that."
Don’t wait until the sea of ​​corpses of young people covers the whole territory of the country, and then think of
If only peace talks were done at that time
? Do not make jokes!
Before he continued to explain, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the case.
"Best condition? Do you call this kind of thing the best condition?"
The paper that has been ravaged several times is again photographed on the table. In terms of diplomatic negotiation documents, the length of a piece of paper is obviously too short. In fact, there are only three items on it.
First, give up the occupation of Castile;
Second, give up the exercise of sovereignty over the crowns of Ostoria and St. Esteban;
Third, recognizing the autonomy of Alfheim and the power of the army, and at the right time to negotiate attribution and border division;
To sum up, in fact, it is to allow Charlemagne to recognize the borders set for him by the Principality of Albion and Ross, spit out all the previously swallowed territories, and recognize the actual independence of Yalfheim. As for Yar Wofheim is a sovereign independent country or a dependent country with autonomy. After the truce, let's discuss slowly while dancing.
Such an armistice agreement is undoubtedly quite unfavorable to Charlemagne. Charlemagne is actually equivalent to reducing the land by half, and it is still surrounded by a bunch of unfriendly countries around it. Especially in the east, there is a newly established elf country whose technological and economic strength far surpasses itself, only slightly inferior in population, thinking day and night how to swallow Charlemagne. This strategic dilemma surrounded by many will make Charlemagne's soldiers and politicians shudder.
But the reason why it became like this is not the result of Charlemagne's impetuous and aggressive start of war. From the standpoint of the two enemy countries that suffered "undeclared war" and "imposed war" by Albion and the United Principality of Ross, Charlemagne should pay for his actions. The mere recognition of the status quo is already a great tolerance of Charlemagne in their eyes.
Taking a step back 10,000, a truce agreement that, although unpleasant, does contain the footsteps of the Yalfheim war is better than continuing the war until the entire country is exhausted and even conquered. Compared with being turned into a deserted wasteland by an impatient guy all over the world, it is even better.
Such a simple reason, how could they not understand?
"Your Holy Girl, do you know the current public opinion and public opinion? Now accepting this humiliating condition, what will those citizens who have lost their loved ones and endure material deprivation think? When they face a more impoverished life in the future, they will What's the reaction? When the nationals roared and asked why we didn't fight for better conditions when we could still win, could we just tell them'this is the best condition'? Will you think about these? ?"
The continuous questioning of the bead cannons unanimously nodded and agreed with the military bureaucrats present. It also made Roland understand that civil servants who did not like to expand the war and worsen their finances would be uncharacteristic this time, and they must firmly continue the war.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of finance, that is, money.
The Principality of Albion and Ross did not add requirements such as compensation to the terms and conditions, but this does not mean that Charlemagne’s financial problems have been alleviated. The consortium has evacuated Charlemagne, the industrial town of Alfheim and the agricultural barn zone of Ostoria and the crown of St. Esteban have split from the territory, even with the occupation of Castile District must give up. Charlemagne temporarily cut off fiscal revenue. Perhaps after operating a colony for several years, after receiving some foreign aid, the situation will improve somewhat, but do the citizens have the patience and reason to wait slowly? Besides, do you think the aid from the group of and Albion is so easy? Various harsh additional conditions and the prospect of letting opponents control the economic context can be expected. In addition, there is a Alfheim who is very experienced in economic warfare...Charlieman's slowly declining and dying future seems to be in sight.
Even so-
"If you accept this condition, not only the finance will go bankrupt, but even the national credit will also collapse together! Do you know how many banknotes are currently in circulation on the market? The national credit collapses and those banknotes that have value only because they have a credit guarantee will change Returning a worthless piece of paper, it means that all the people went bankrupt overnight! Do you want to watch them die on the roadside because of hunger, or get upset?!"
"Isn't it possible to print?"
"How much is needed to print? No, how big is the number to be printed on the banknote? Is it billion? trillion (one trillion)? Beijing (one billion)? You want the people to push a whole trolley To buy bread for your money?"
"But because of the previous war, our country has also been exhausted! Where can we continue the war?! Besides the positions of the various countries, is it possible to accept more realistic and more confident discussions and conditions than this?"
"...Win again~EbookFREE.me~ Roland stopped thinking because of this extremely stupid sentence, and asked blankly:
"what did you say?"
"As long as we win again, let other countries realize our country's strong military strength, and our country's advantage is difficult for them to shake. Will they abandon the now demanding requirements and give more generous compromise proposals?"
"At present, the enemy's defense line has been pryed open, as long as it crosses the Rhine, which is the heart of their industry, as long as they seize it. Even if the United Principality of Albion and Ross refuses to compromise, we can achieve self-sufficiency!"
"Yes, as long as the victory continues, the kingdom will still have hope!"
—What are these guys talking about?
As the officials spoke more and more enthusiastically, a needle-like cold came up from the soles of the feet, and Roland stared at the eyes in amazement.
In front of them, dressed in sophisticated clothes, it seems that they are not gentle government officials, but a group of gamblers who have stayed in the casino for days and nights, like a group of hungry wolves.
Do not.
This is not like.
Taking too many narcotic drugs and stimulants called "Victory", this country has all the symptoms of addiction. Now that "Victory" is a panacea, I am afraid that few people in Charlemagne can be rational. Thinking. It is difficult for them to see the reality. They just want to win more. It seems that all problems can be solved.
It is slightly ironic that the culprit responsible for this situation is either someone else or himself.
Ignoring Roland, all the civil servants said almost in unison:
"For the future of the kingdom, the royal family and all the people, we sincerely implore the Holy Girl to lead us to victory again."
Roland's mouth twitched a few times, and the twisted lip line did not know whether he wanted to cry or laugh.
