Chapter 720 Olive Branch

The collective of southern emirates was the first to respond to the Sonia's peace initiative, and with great enthusiasm.

For the peace initiative sent to Japan, the Sonia people talked to Prime Minister Ashikaga, and sent an envoy to talk to Prime Minister Ashikaga with the peace plan in person.

Although Prime Minister Ashikaga invited the regent to talk with him, there is no doubt that in the plan of the Sonia people, Japan can become a force to contain and balance the Northern Kingdom, and it will also take a stance to win over the Ashikaga government.

For the neutral states, the Sonias have thrown out even bigger olive branches.

After all, the Eastern Union is not so easy to enter, so the neutral states can also enter the imperial framework as members of the small confederation.

The difference between the large confederation and the small confederation will mainly be reflected in the allocation of seats in the imperial parliament.

According to the initial conception of the All-Continental Peace Initiative, Sonia and the United Kingdom of Sigrefenni have 100 members of the Imperial Parliament, and the Eastern Economic Union has 50 members.

In terms of population and territory, both Sonia and the United Kingdom of Sigrifenni are several times larger than the Eastern Union region. The distribution of quotas can be said to give the Eastern Economic Union a very important position.

Dongge Ruifenni Kingdom, 30 MPs, Tianhan Kingdom, 20 MPs.

Congregation of the Southern Brave Emirates, 20 MPs.

Dongying Kingdom, 5 MPs.

The other self-governing states and small confederations all have one member.

There were originally more than 20 such neutral autonomous prefectures. However, several states voluntarily merged into the United Kingdom of Sonia and Sigrefenni. Today, there are still fifteen neutral autonomous prefectures.

Including Hanzhou and Antigua, in terms of political status, they are actually one of the neutral autonomous prefectures.

It's just that these two states have signed the Montenegro Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation and are members of the Montenegro Treaty Organization.

……

Cottman Military Base Commander's Office.

General Wollman paced back and forth with a look of helplessness on his face.

The general trend of peace seems irreversible, and the main combat faction like him has become so out of date.

People all over the empire are marching, cheering for the imminent arrival of peace.

Over the past few years, war weariness has already permeated the entire continent.

Glancing at Lu Ming who was sitting on the side, Wollman sighed deeply, "It seems that this is the only way to go, but I think that after ten years, the empire will be renamed the Holy Sonia Empire. , will cease to exist.”

Lu Ming smiled: "The Sonia people offered you a very generous offer, right?"

Wollman nodded slightly.

There are three states in the northern defense zone, but Bilton State, where the Bilton Bridge is located, is one of the four states claimed by the Sonia.

In a private letter written by Henry II, he promised Wollman that if he successfully handed over the state of Baiton to the United Kingdom, Henry II would recognize Wollman as the military and political head of the two northern states, and even the northern two states could separate from the eastern state. The kingdom of Gryffinni became independent and joined the imperial framework in the form of a united self-governing state, giving 3 parliamentarians.

Walman pondered and said: "I won't agree, I can hand over Baiton State, but I won't be independent from the kingdom, that will make the kingdom die earlier, and, I'm just a soldier, the public opinion base here , and will not agree with me as a military and political leader, Henry II's staff are very insidious, they are just digging holes in their eyes." Looking at Lu Ming, "However, I will always remember the friendship of the Kingdom of Han .”

Volunteers from the 7 divisions of the Tianhan Kingdom really marched into the northern defense zone, obviously preparing to start a war with the Sonia.

Lu Ming looked at Walman and said, "I think that if you become independent, you may better preserve the fire inherited from Griffin. Prince John is indecisive and has no prestige. King William must be bewitched and controlled by others." There is no hope."

Wollman sighed deeply, but still shook his head.

Lu Ming also picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.

In fact, it is really a full-scale war with the Sonias today, and I am not ready, especially when the Griffinian military and political system has become a mess.

There is no doubt that if a peace agreement is reached today, the Sonias will be the biggest winners, because they have almost achieved all of their strategic goals, and have since dominated the imperial order.

Moreover, the popularity of Henry II, who ended the civil strife in the empire, will reach its peak among the citizens of the empire, especially the Westerners.

Probably because of this, he actually extended an olive branch to himself.

For example, the Sonias began to pay for the two oil fields in Soroston, and they were at normal market prices.

Recognize the Xiheishanbao area as the legal territory of the Tianhan Kingdom.

It also began to fully lift the ban on trade between the Northern Territory and Sonia.

As for the Tianhan Kingdom only getting 20 councilors, this is actually an extension of deeply rooted traditional thinking. The population of the Northern Territory is just so worthless.

The total economic volume of the Northern Territory itself is probably less than one-fifth of the United Kingdom of Sonia.

The Sonyans don't think that's going to be a problem either.

From the northern region, it is indeed in a period of rapid development of various investments, and it should have developed peacefully.

What's more, if I insist on going to war with the Sonias now, I am afraid that I will become a warmonger in the eyes of all citizens of the empire.

In fact, the Sonias have broken the tradition of self-government of various ethnic groups in the West, and there will inevitably be many contradictions in the future.

Of course, it would not be a bad thing if it could continue in peace.

The sphere of influence that I can influence has basically extended to all the traditional Central Continent gathering areas, and it would be good to develop the economy in the future.

And as far as conflicts are concerned, the neutral autonomous prefectures and the Eastern Union region will bear the brunt in the future.

On the contrary, in the northern region, if it is the current economic state, the Sonia people will not be interested at all.

The Sonias are salivating over the extremely wealthy Eastern League region, and will definitely find a way to annex it in the future.

However, the leaders of the members of the Eastern Alliance are mostly appeasement thinking, believing that peace is rare. After several years of intermittent civil wars in the empire, peace is finally hopeful now.

Even the few close friends of him among the leaders of the alliance have this kind of thinking.

Then you can only walk slowly.

……

Han Palace.

In a very elegant study room, the bookshelves are filled with legal books. Han Anni's pretty figure is looking around curiously. Lu Ming follows her and says with a smile, "Do you like it? They are all decorated according to your style."

This is the study room of the "Concubine Zhuang Courtyard".

"Concubine Zhuang?!" Han Anni snapped, "You really know how to reverse the course of history! You don't know what you will be scolded for in the future!"

Lu Ming coughed, but he had a clear conscience. In fact, thinking about it, the biggest help he has come to the present is all mysterious and mysterious things, including time travel, including the help left by his ancestors, Orb Palace, Liuli Palace and Qing'e Honglings, everything now seems to be taken for granted.

Han Anni sighed softly again: "However, I have also become your accomplice."

Han Anni was finally persuaded to come to Xinjing, but she put forward a condition that her best friend Xue Zihan would also come with her.

Now Han Anni is conferred the title of Concubine Zhuang, while Xue Zihan has given the title of Concubine An.

Lu Ming was not easy to answer this topic, so he remained silent.

"But, is there really going to be peace?" Han Anni blinked her big eyes in anticipation.

Senior intellectuals, most of whom are like Han Anni, are full of hope for this peace.

Lu Ming smiled: "Yes, the public opinion is raging, and I, a warmonger, can only calm down. Let's wait and see!"

Han Anni stared at Lu Ming, "However, you are really good."

Isn't that right? The first time I saw him, he was a suspect who was almost sentenced to death. In less than ten years, he was already one of the few people with the highest status in the empire.

From the political status of the empire, this guy is already the lord of the kingdom on an equal footing with King Henry II of the United Kingdom.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's just a fluke, the right time and place are right for people."

I also feel in my heart that along the way, luck is also very good, probably this is the number of luck, but, indeed, as Jin Tian Guan Xing said, the recovery of the western stars, the Sonia people's power is greatly expanded, and they were able to divide and reap the benefits of fisherman in the past The benefits, but gradually, I have to face these directly.
