Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 264
The other seven countries of the Nine-Nation Military Alliance learned that the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire were going to negotiate a truce with the Tang Empire, and immediately used various channels to hope that the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire would give up this move.

However, the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire made it clear to the other seven countries that unless the navies of Monia, Rielland, Hessel, and Revelli can immediately form a joint fleet and rush to Groning of the Gisk Empire Hong Kong, rescue the Jisk Navy and Orenza Navy trapped in Groning Harbor, seize control of the Wessel Strait, so that the armies of the four countries can join the battlefield of the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, otherwise the two countries It can only seek peace from the Tang Empire.

After the joint fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi was defeated by the Datang Navy, the four nations of Monia, Rielland, Hessel, and Revelli were unwilling to send their main naval forces to touch the powerful The Tang Dynasty Navy, even the three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi put pressure on it, but the four countries of Monia, Rielland, Hessel, and Revelli remained indifferent.

The three countries of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi had no choice but to watch, and Jisk, Orenza and the Tang Empire started armistice negotiations.

Although the Great Tang Empire expressed its willingness to negotiate with Jisk and Orenza, the offensive of the Great Tang Empire's army in the two countries has not stopped. According to the Great Tang Empire, it must be negotiated before it can be temporarily stopped. Military operations in the territory of Jisk and Orenza.

In order to stop the offensive of the Tang Empire as soon as possible, Maxim, the prime minister of the Jisk Empire, and Niki Forer, the prime minister of the Orenza Empire, flew to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, on modified transport planes. city.

On the morning of September 3016, 23 in the Datang Calendar, at the Prime Minister's Office in Chang'an City, the Datang Empire started the first truce negotiation with Jisk and Orenza. Negotiators led by Prime Minister Xu Haoming.

As soon as the negotiations started, Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, said impatiently: "Dear Premier Xu Haoming, since the two sides have started the armistice negotiations, please stop the army of the Tang Empire from entering the territory of the Gisk Empire and Austria. For the military operations within the Rensa Empire, Prime Minister Nikifor and I came to Chang’an City this time to restore peace between us.”

Xu Haoming smiled slightly and said: "Originally, according to the intention of our Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, as long as our two sides start negotiations, then our troops of the Great Tang Empire in your two countries will temporarily stop all military operations, but our Great Tang Empire The intelligence department of the Tang Empire got the exact information. While sending negotiators to Chang’an City, you Jisk Empire and Orenza Empire are still expanding the size of the army. This makes us Tang Empire have to think that you The two countries are negotiating with our Great Tang Empire to delay time so that we can form more army troops to continue fighting with our Great Tang Empire's army."

The Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, Maxim, and the Prime Minister of the Orensa Empire, Nikifor, glanced at each other, with somewhat angry expressions on their faces.

The Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Xu Haoming, it is precisely because your Datang Empire is unwilling to stop military operations that our Orenza Empire and the Jisk Empire have no choice but to continue to form more army units. Your Datang Empire is worried that our two countries are negotiating to delay time in order to form more army troops to continue fighting with your Datang Empire, and our two countries are also worried that your Datang Empire is willing to negotiate a truce, also to buy time , in order to put more Army troops and warplanes into the territory of our two countries.”

Xu Haoming shrugged his shoulders and said: "It seems that both of us lack trust in each other, so it's better to wait for us to reach an armistice agreement, and our Datang Empire's military operations in your two countries will naturally stop."

The Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, wanted to say something else, but Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, spoke first, "Prime Minister Xu Haoming, your Datang Empire does not know what conditions you have to stop the war between the two sides. ?”

The Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, heard that the Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, Maxim, mentioned the conditions of the truce. He originally planned to ask the Tang Empire to stop military operations first, so he did not say anything.

Xu Haoming immediately opened a folder in front of him, pulled out two pieces of paper, and handed them to the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, and the Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, Maxim, "The two prime ministers, our Great Tang The empire's truce conditions are all above."

The Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, and the Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, Maxim, hurriedly took the paper handed over by Xu Haoming, and carefully read the terms of the armistice proposed by the Tang Empire. ugly.

There are four main conditions for the truce given by the Tang Empire to the Gisk Empire. The first point is that the Gisk Empire must announce its withdrawal from the Nine Nations Military Alliance and recognize the Gisk Empire as the defeated party in the war.

The second point is that the Jisk Empire compensates the Datang Empire for military expenses of 500 billion Tang Yuan, which can only be paid in the currency of the Datang Empire, the Yingluoba Empire, the Sharad Empire, the Noomi Empire, and the Monia Empire, or in other currencies. Priced gold and silver for payment.

The third point is that the Gisk Empire ceded the land north of the Uniri River to the Datang Empire. The Gisk people living north of the Uniri River can choose to join the Datang Empire or migrate to Uniri according to their own wishes. The Gisk Empire south of the Ri River.

The land area of ​​the Gisk Empire is about 200 million square kilometers, and it has 28 states. The Uniri River is the longest river in the Gisk Empire, and to the north of the Uniri River, there are eleven A state with an area of ​​about 500 million square kilometers. At present, the Jisk area north of the Uniri River has been mostly occupied by the Royal Army of the Tang Dynasty.

The fourth point is that the Jisk Navy must deliver the remaining 29 super dreadnought battleships and 23 battlecruisers to the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire.

The Tang Empire gave the Orenza Empire similar truce conditions, and also required the Orenza Empire to compensate the Datang Empire for 500 billion Tang Yuan in military expenses, and ceded about 400 million square kilometers of land north of the Chappral Mountains in the Orenza Empire. The remaining 26 super dreadnought battleships and 24 battlecruisers of the Orenza Navy were also compensated to the Royal Navy of Datang.

The land area of ​​the Orenza Empire is about 1000 million square kilometers, and it has 22 states. There are nine states of the Orenza Empire to the north of the Chapral Mountains. At present, the army of the Datang Empire has captured the Chapral Mountains. Almost two-thirds of the area to the north.

The Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, Maxim, read the truce conditions given by the Tang Empire to the Gisk Empire, and angrily slapped the paper in his hand on the table, "Prime Minister Xu Haoming, the truce conditions of your Datang Empire are too harsh. Not to mention the sky-high war indemnity of 500 billion Tang Yuan, your Great Tang Empire suddenly asked our Jisk Empire to cede a small half of the land. You must know that in the north of the Unirui River, There are still many areas under the control of our Jisk army!"

Xu Haoming said indifferently: "Then the negotiation between our two countries can wait a little bit longer, and when the army of the Great Tang Empire occupies the area north of the Unirui River, our two countries can start negotiations again. "

Xu Haoming's words made Maxim, the prime minister of the Gisk Empire, really want to take the case and leave, but Maxim knew in his heart that the Gisk Empire really couldn't bear it anymore. Due to the bombing of the Datang Air Force, Gisk Empire Several major arsenals in the empire have been unable to produce normally, so that the frontline Jisk Royal Army has already experienced a shortage of ammunition. If the army of the Tang Empire continues to fight, it will probably take less than a month for the Tang army to die. Able to cross the Uniri River and set foot on the area south of the Uniri River.

Maxim, Prime Minister of the Gysk Empire, suppressed his anger and said: "Prime Minister Xu Haoming, for the sake of peace between our two countries, our Gysk Empire is willing to negotiate on the basis of this truce, but we hope that the Tang Empire can Make some concessions."

The Prime Minister of the Orensa Empire, Niki Fore, wanted to be tough at first, but seeing that even the Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, Maxim, did not become tough, Niki Fore gave up his tough idea. The situation is even worse than that of the Jisk Empire. Now the army of the Datang Empire has reached the city of Magna, which is backed by the Chaprall Mountains. Once the city of Magna falls, the army of the Datang Empire can cross the Chapraral Mountains , approaching Kachino City, the capital of the Orenza Empire.

Nikifor immediately said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Xu Haoming, our Orenza Empire can also negotiate on the basis of these truce conditions, but some truce conditions must be changed."

The representatives of the three countries who negotiated next, after three days of verbal battles around the conditions of the truce, finally reached an agreement.

In the palace of Wendell City, the capital of the Gisk Empire, Emperor Lazarik asked a dozen ministers with a gloomy face, "What do you think of this armistice agreement? Should we sign the Gisk Empire or not?"

After three days of bargaining, Maxim, Prime Minister of the Gisk Empire, only reduced the war reparations to 300 billion Tang Yuan. The Gisk Empire needs to pay it in ten years, and the interest for ten years is still 80 billion Tang Yuan. In addition, the Gisk Navy can Nineteen super dreadnought battleships and thirteen battlecruisers are retained, and the remaining ten super dreadnought battleships and ten battlecruisers must be compensated to the Datang Royal Navy.

Nazaru, Minister of Finance of the Gisk Empire, said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, our Gisk Empire really can't hold on anymore. The other seven countries of the Nine-Nation Military Alliance are simply unable to support our Gisk Empire. If we continue to fight, maybe the whole The Jisk Empire will no longer exist, although the Tang Empire's truce conditions are very harsh, but at least our Jisk Empire can retain its vitality."

Nazaru, who controls the financial power of the Jisk Empire, can also be regarded as the confidant of Emperor Lazarik, and the queen of Emperor Lazarik is also the sister of Nazaru, the Minister of Finance.

Emperor Lazaric gritted his teeth and said, "But the Tang Empire requires our Jisk Empire to cede the land of eleven states north of the Uniri River, which is at least 500 million square kilometers!"

Minister of Finance Nazaru sighed and said: "Your Majesty, continue to fight, not to mention that the eleven states north of the Uniri River will not be guaranteed, even the [-] states south of the Uniri River will also face being destroyed The danger of being invaded by the Tang army."

Emperor Lazaric said still unwillingly: "Our Jisk Empire has a population of [-] million. If all the people are soldiers, maybe..."

Before Emperor Lazarik finished speaking, he was interrupted by Minister of Finance Nazaru, "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the Tang Empire has invested more than 500 million yuan in the territory of our Gisk Empire. If necessary, the Tang Empire can deploy another 3000 to [-] million army troops into the territory of our Gisk Empire, and our Gisk Empire has already implemented the tactics of all the people, but before the Unirui River North, still did not block the footsteps of the Tang army."

The words of the Minister of Finance Nazaru made the last illusion in Emperor Lazarik's heart disappear. Lazarik sighed: "After a hundred years, I really have no face to see my father."

During the three days of negotiations, the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire, Niki Fore, did not allow the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, Xu Haoming, to make too many concessions. He only reduced the war indemnity to 200 billion Tang Yuan, which will be paid in ten years. , the ten-year interest is 50 billion Tang Yuan.

The reason why the war indemnity of the Orenza Empire is less than that of the Jisk Empire is because the Orenza Empire is willing to hand over the [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers of its navy to the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. The Navy retains only six super-dreadnought battleships and four battlecruisers.

The economy of the Orenza Empire has already collapsed after this war. After the war, the Orenza Empire is even unable to support the relatively large Orenza Navy. Therefore, with the approval of Emperor Modest of the Orenza Empire, Prime Minister Niki Fore was willing to pay most of the remaining super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the Orenza Navy to the Datang Royal Navy on the condition of reducing the war reparations.

At one o'clock in the afternoon on September 3016, 26 in the Datang calendar, Xu Haoming, Prime Minister of the Datang Empire, signed a contract between the Datang Empire and the Jisk Empire with Maxim, the Prime Minister of the Jisk Empire, and Niki Faure, the Prime Minister of the Orenza Empire. , The Armistice Agreement of the Orenza Empire.

Although the war between the Tang Empire and the entire Nine-Nation Military Alliance has not yet completely ended, after the signing of these two armistice agreements, the Tang Empire has seized about 900 million square kilometers from the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire. The land, as well as the huge war reparations, also easily obtained [-] super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers from the navies of the two countries.
