Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 268 Four Armistice Agreements
August, the prime minister of the British Empire, walked into the palace with a telegram in his hand, his face full of excitement.

After Prime Minister August saw Emperor Penello, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news! Good news! The Tang Empire has finally let go and lowered the terms of the armistice!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Penello immediately stood up from his seat, "Has the Tang Empire lowered the terms of the armistice?"

Prime Minister August handed over the telegram in his hand, "It has indeed come down, the Datang Empire has given up the condition that our British Royal Navy pay the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, and reduced the war reparations to 50 billion Tang Yuan, this should be the last condition offered by the Tang Empire."

Emperor Penello quickly read the telegram handed over by Prime Minister August, and then heaved a sigh of relief. If he only paid 50 billion Tang Yuan, he would be able to end this war with the Tang Empire. Luo seems to be acceptable.

However, 50 billion Tang yuan is equivalent to 100 million British dollars, and Emperor Penello still feels a little pain in his heart. [-] million British dollars are enough to build more than [-] guts-class super dreadnought battleships.

The Guts class is a super dreadnought battleship being built by the British Empire. It has five 432mm main guns and a full load displacement of 53500 tons. The cost of each Guts class is about 420 million British dollars.

Currently funded by the British royal family, a total of 432 guts-class super dreadnought battleships are being built in the British Empire, and [-] annihilation-class battlecruisers that also have [-]mm main guns are also under construction.

Emperor Penello pondered for a while and said: "50 billion Tang Yuan is a lot, is it possible for the Tang Empire to reduce the amount of compensation?"

Prime Minister August said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I feel that we should no longer bargain with the Tang Empire. It is best to sign an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire as soon as possible so that our Yingluoba Empire can get out of this war." get out of the quagmire."

Emperor Penello thought about it for a moment, and said helplessly: "Then trouble the Prime Minister to take a transport plane to the capital of the Tang Empire! As the Prime Minister said, there is no news that the Tang Empire has any relations with Sharad, Nuo The news of the armistice agreement reached between the two countries, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we can no longer count on paying more war reparations."

Prime Minister August saw that Emperor Penello agreed to the truce offered by the Tang Empire, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let someone arrange a transport plane to rush to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire, as soon as possible. The armistice was signed."

To the surprise of August, the Prime Minister of the Inlobal Empire, when he arrived at Chang'an City by plane, he actually met Julian, the Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, at the Prime Minister's Office of the Tang Empire.

When the two prime ministers met, they both seemed a little embarrassed. After all, both countries had started truce negotiations with the Tang Empire in private, which meant that they had abandoned their allies.

August, Prime Minister of the Inlobal Empire, coughed and said, "Prime Minister Julian, I think we both came here with the same mission, to end this war with the Tang Empire."

Julian, the Prime Minister of the Noomi Empire, heard August's straightforward words, so he stopped hiding, "Our Noomi Empire has reached an agreement with the Datang Empire on the terms of the truce. I am here this time. Chang'an City is preparing to formally sign an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire."

August then said: "Our Yingluoba Empire has also reached a consensus with the Datang Empire on the truce conditions. I came to Chang'an City to sign a formal truce agreement with the Datang Empire. I don't know if you What are the terms of the truce between the Noomi Empire and the Tang Empire?"

Julian shrugged and said, "There is nothing to hide. Our Noomi Empire will compensate the Great Tang Empire with 50 billion Tang Yuan in war reparations. I don't know what the terms of the armistice between the Yingluoba Empire and the Great Tang Empire are?"

August smiled wryly, "It's also a war reparation of 50 billion Tang Yuan. It seems that the Tang Empire treats our two countries equally."

At this moment, Julian hesitated and said: "As far as I know, the truce conditions given by the Tang Empire to the Sharad Empire are still very harsh, and even require the Sharad Empire to cede a large area of ​​land, and during the negotiation process, there has been no truce to the Sharad Empire. The German Reich has no concessions."

August frowned, "Prime Minister Julian, do you mean that the Tang Empire deliberately lowered the terms of the armistice between our two countries, let us get out of this war, and then prepared to be unfavorable to the Sharad Empire?" ?”

Julian sighed and said: "Although the relationship between our Noomi Empire and the Sharad Empire is not very good, once the Sharad Empire is defeated by the Datang Empire, the iron heels of the Datang Empire will be equivalent to stepping into our western continent. "

August shook his head helplessly, "Prime Minister Julian, even if you know that there is a conspiracy in signing the armistice agreement between the Tang Empire and our two countries, isn't your Noomi Empire planning to sign the armistice agreement?"

Julian responded with a wry smile, "Prime Minister August is right, our Noomi Empire really does not have the capital to meddle in the Sharad Empire's business, and it will end this war with the Tang Empire, for our Noomi Empire Fortunately for the empire, after the formal signing of the armistice agreement with the Tang Empire, the troops of our Noomi Empire in the Sharad Empire will withdraw to the country as soon as possible. As for the Sharad Empire, they can only let them Good luck."

August also showed a wry smile, "The Sharad Empire itself is not weak, maybe the Sharad Empire will plunge the Datang Empire into a quagmire of war."

On October 3016, 24 in the Datang calendar, a shocking news spread throughout the world. On this day, the Tang Empire signed armistice agreements with the Inroba Empire and the Noomi Empire respectively. The two countries each paid the Great Tang Empire 50 billion Tang Yuan in war indemnity, which was paid off in five years, and the five-year interest added up to [-] million Tang Yuan.

In other words, the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire will eventually pay the Datang Empire 55 billion Tang Yuan in war reparations.

After the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire also withdrew from the war, there were only three countries left in the original nine-nation military alliance, and the war with the Datang Empire had not yet ended.

Such a result immediately made the remaining Sharad Empire, Hethel Kingdom, and Reveli Kingdom feel like a thorn in their backs.

In the palace of Manges City, the capital of the Hethel Kingdom, King Munica asked Prime Minister Uriso at a loss: "Prime Minister, in the nine-nation military alliance, only our Hethel Kingdom and The Sharad Empire and the Revelli Kingdom have not reached an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire, when will our Hethel Kingdom formally withdraw from this war?"

Prime Minister Uriso frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the truce conditions given by the Tang Empire to our Hethel Kingdom are too harsh. Not only does it require our Hethel Kingdom to cede all islands except Hethel Island, We also demand that the Hethel Kingdom pay 200 billion Tang Yuan in war reparations, and the remaining fifteen super dreadnought battleships and eleven battlecruisers of our Hethel Navy must also be fully compensated to the Datang Empire."

Not long after the war between the Tang Empire and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance ended, the Kingdom of Hessel dispatched its navy and army to annex the four surrounding island countries one after another, expanding its land area to more than 700 million square kilometers.

In addition to Hethel Island, the Kingdom of Hethel currently has 82 islands, and the combined area of ​​these 82 islands is almost three million square kilometers.

King Munica said immediately: "But now there are only three countries left in the Nine-Nation Military Alliance, and they can't beat the Tang Empire at all. What if the Tang Empire sends troops to attack our Hethel Kingdom?"

Prime Minister Uliso suddenly said impatiently: "Your Majesty, I will take care of these matters. You should spend more energy on your studies!"

After speaking, Prime Minister Uriso flicked his sleeves and left, while the young King Munica flushed with anger.

King Munica is only 16 years old this year, and he inherited the throne of Hethel Kingdom last year. Due to the sudden death of the previous King Hethel Kingdom, the power transfer of Hethel Kingdom has not been completed normally. The power of the kingdom fell completely into the hands of Prime Minister Uliso.

Prime Minister Uriso knew very well that with the military power of the Hethel Kingdom, it was impossible to compete with the Tang Empire, and after the Hethel Kingdom annexed the four surrounding island countries, the interior of the Hethel Kingdom was not Calm, the remaining forces of the four island nations have not been completely wiped out by the army of the Kingdom of Hethel.

If the Tang Empire gets in touch with the remnants of the four island countries, the Hessel Kingdom will have a lot of fun. Once the Datang Empire sends troops to the Hessel Kingdom, not only the dozens of islands in the four island countries, but also the dozens of islands in the four island countries may be destroyed. Being easily occupied by the Tang Empire, the Kingdom of Hessel might not even be able to keep Hessel Island.

After the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire announced their withdrawal from the Nine Nations Military Alliance, Prime Minister Uriso quickly sent a telegram to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire.

On the morning of October 26, in a palace in the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Xu Haoming, the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, reported to Su Yi: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Hethel suddenly expressed its willingness to transfer the 82 buildings outside Hethel Island. The islands are all ceded to our Datang Empire, and we hope that our Datang Empire can make some concessions in terms of war reparations and compensation for warships."

Su Yi did not immediately express his opinion on the Hessel Kingdom's agreement to cede more than three million square kilometers of land, but turned to He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and asked, "Yunfei, what do you think of us in the Tang Empire? Should we agree to the conditions offered by Hethel Kingdom?"

He Yunfei immediately said: "Your Majesty, the reason why our Datang Empire is preparing to annex the Kingdom of Hessel and the Kingdom of Revelli this time is mainly to use these two countries as a springboard to incorporate many islands in the southern mainland into the Datang Empire. Now, since you don’t even need to fight a war, you can get the 82 islands of the Hethel Kingdom, which is almost three million square kilometers of land. I personally think that an armistice agreement should be signed with the Hethel Kingdom. If we If the Tang Empire wants to clean up the Hessel Kingdom, it can find other reasons."

Su Yi nodded slightly, "If you don't take the benefits of being free, you won't take it for free. Then let's let Hessel Kingdom go for a while this time!"

Cabinet Prime Minister Xu Haoming said: "Your Majesty, the negotiator of the Revelli Kingdom seems to be preparing to make a large amount of concessions."

Taking advantage of the previous war between the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Tang Empire, the Kingdom of Reveli annexed eleven surrounding island countries with weak military strength, causing the land area of ​​the Kingdom of Reveli to suddenly expand to more than 800 million square kilometers , and the combined area of ​​these eleven island countries is close to 500 million square kilometers.

The current armistice conditions offered by the Datang Empire to the Revelli Kingdom, in addition to the 100 billion Tang Yuan in war reparations, also require the Revelli Kingdom to cede all the eleven island countries it annexed to the Datang Empire. The Revelli Navy had to deliver twelve super dreadnought battleships and twelve battlecruisers to the Datang Royal Navy.

Su Yi smiled and said: "If the Kingdom of Revelli is also willing to cede all the eleven island countries it annexed, with about 500 million square kilometers of land, to our Datang Empire, we will also pay for war reparations and compensation for warships." Some concessions can be made, so that without paying too much, our Great Tang Empire has completed its layout on many islands in the southern mainland."

Just a few days after Yingluoba, Noomi and Datang Empire signed an armistice agreement, Hethel Kingdom also formally signed an armistice agreement with Datang Empire.

According to this armistice agreement, the Kingdom of Hessel needs to pay the Tang Empire 40 billion Tang Yuan in war indemnities, which will be paid in 20 years, and the 20-year interest will add up to [-] million Tang Yuan.

In addition, all 82 islands of the Hethel Kingdom except Hethel Island must be ceded to the Datang Empire, and the Hethel Navy will also compensate the Datang Empire with five super dreadnought battleships and five battlecruisers .

And on the second day after the Kingdom of Hessel signed the armistice agreement with the Tang Empire, the Kingdom of Revelli also formally signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Empire.

The amount of war indemnity for the Revelli Kingdom is 35 billion Tang Yuan, which is also paid in 20 years, and the 20-year interest adds up to [-] million Tang Yuan.

According to the armistice agreement, the Revelli Kingdom needs to cede all the eleven island countries annexed by the Tang Empire during the war between the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Datang Empire, and the Revelli Navy has to produce five super fearless ships The battleship and five battlecruisers were delivered to the Datang Royal Navy.

So far, in the Nine-Nation Military Alliance originally composed of nine countries, only the Sharad Empire has not signed an armistice agreement with the Datang Empire.
