We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

This is not so far away from Victoria. As long as they are fooled on paper, there is nothing they can do.Yanguo and Kazdaele are close at hand, and they feel that if Sakaz's political stance leans towards Ursus, it will be difficult for Kazdaele to argue with him.

Teresica pondered for a long time and couldn't make up her mind, then asked Rem Billiton what they thought.

"This...there is a difference of opinion between them."

The leader of the Banshee clan said: "The faction headed by Curtin felt that if we stop quickly and continue to attack Eureka State, it would be over. The faction headed by Horton felt that we should fight to the end and drive the Victorians out of Rem Billiton, completely of independence.”

"Then no matter which side you choose, you will definitely offend the other side? Forget it, these are other people's interests. Let's look at our own side."

After thinking about it again, Teresica approached Manfred and asked him to analyze from a professional military perspective which direction would be more beneficial for Rem Billiton's situation.

"Your Majesty, military operations and their results are like a fragile container holding the food you want. Within the appropriate range, it can hold more, but if it exceeds the upper limit, then the container will break and you will get It will also be lost.”

Manfred clarified: "In the conflict at Rem Billiton, His Majesty's military reform plan has been proven. Both the infantry division and the drone combat force are very effective. Queensland's military construction has also started smoothly. , those two were our top goals and they were accomplished.”

"If we continue, the next goal will naturally be to capture Eureka State, and the next goal is to completely drive the Victorians out of Rem Billiton. But Your Majesty, are we ready for a large-scale battle? And it will be in Facing Victoria’s superior forces in the field.”

Listening to Manfred's words, Teresica shook her head.

The grain production capabilities of Kazdare and Rembiton are basically negligible, and all current consumption is imported from Yan Country.Carters' accounts are under Sakaz's hands, and currently they are all IOUs. This is indeed a burden for Kazdaele.

In addition, the Experimental [-]st Division and two additional regiments, drone units, all artillery and military ships that Kazdare can fight against the Victorians have already entered Rem Billiton, and the rest in the country are using cold weapons. The old-style troops are indeed incapable of expanding their results.

After listening to many opinions, Teresica wrote a letter to reply to Werther herself.

It shows that Kazdaele's military industry has no spare capacity to accept foreign orders. It also specifically mentions arrows, saying that there is not much inventory in the country.

After making it clear that he could no longer fight, he ordered people to take Holden and Curtin to Kazdale.

As soon as they met, he felt something unnatural between the two. It seemed that the long-term war had indeed caused some differences between the two people who had the same goal.

"Congratulations."

As soon as Teresica opened her mouth, their expressions became extremely stiff, and they smiled dryly.

"Stop making fun of us."

"Yeah, Rem Billiton's war is in a stalemate, what's the good thing?"

But Teresica smiled and shook her head, "Although you two have different opinions, you are thinking about your own nation and not seeking personal gain. Isn't this a good thing? In the case of the same big goal and premise, the differences are just Thinking in a different direction is not a bad thing, but it can give Carters one more choice.”

Holden and Curtin looked at each other and asked, "Do you think we should continue fighting?"

"... Kazdare has no more troops."

Teresica said truthfully: "Is Carters capable of continuing to fight without Sakaz?"

The scene suddenly became extremely quiet. After this solid atmosphere lasted for a while, Teresica continued: "There is actually no conflict between the truce and the battle. In fact, after the truce in Eureka, the real fighting between the Carters began. here we go."

"Can you tell us about it?"

The two asked in confusion.

"Assuming we enter into negotiations with Victoria, autonomy for the Carters, that must be our bottom line."

Teresica looked into the eyes of the two men, "Once Eureka State completes its independence, the Carters will become two parts: autonomous and Victorian control. At that time, there will be a contrast between the two large groups. , and this is a whole new field of combat.”

"If the Carters living in Eureka live a better life than those in Victoria, with sufficient food, complete medical care, etc., then will the Carters in Victoria have any influence on Eureka? Where are you yearning for?”

The expressions of the two suddenly became a little more radiant, "That way...as long as we don't stop them, they will run towards us!"

"That's right, whether you two are doing well at this time will really be reflected by the behavior of the Carters tribe."

Teresica nodded, "And during peacetime, you can also start exploring your own military construction. As far as the battle loss ratio between you and Victoria is concerned, to be honest, no matter how powerful our Sakaz is, it's just La Not coming back.”

Chapter 281 Negotiation, wrangling

After sending a copy of the Carters' ideas to Ursus, Werther had no choice but to force them to continue fighting.Usas is also thousands of kilometers away from Rembiton, and the state of Eureka is indeed rotten.

At the same time, Carters’ current state does not allow Victoria to fully withdraw from Rem Billiton.The two sides will inevitably form a split and long-term confrontation, which will also involve Victoria's power to a certain extent, which is also a good thing for Ursus.

After various situations were sorted out by Witte and handed over to Fyodor for review, Ursus recognized the development of the situation and sent a diplomat to Kazdaele as a third-party participant in the negotiations, but Not actually involved in negotiations.

The decision was made to hold conflict-freezing talks with Victoria, and the location of the talks was set to be Syracuse.However, Kazdale did not intervene in the Rem Billiton dispute on a national basis, but in the private capacity of Griffin Security Contracting Company.Therefore, Teresica herself could not participate in the talks, nor even any management personnel.

In this case, after Kazdaele carefully searched various figures, the final decision was for Hedley to participate in the talks.

"Hahaha, Hedley, do you have the ability to participate in this kind of meeting? Be careful if you don't do it well, that kid will ask the nanny holding the sword every day to chop you down."

W looked at Hedley's bewildered eyes and smiled so happily, but after a few seconds she stopped laughing.

Because a group of signal flag troop soldiers surrounded her, Ines, who was just watching from the side, was also restrained.

"You...what do you want to do? Kelsey is only a few hundred meters away from here! Help!"

Amid W's screams and Ines's attitude of not understanding but not resisting, the two were taken away.

The officer on the mission said to Hedley in as gentle a tone as possible: "Please don't worry. We are just restricting their range of activities during the few days of the meeting. You can visit them at any time."

If Hedley was really asked to be in charge of such a meeting, Kazdaile would not dare to take such a risk. He was only chosen because of his status as a mercenary. The people who were really in charge of the meeting were 'W' and 'Ines' .

This plan was proposed by the leader of the Shapeshifters. The Shapeshifters disguised themselves as W and Ines and participated in the talks with Hedley.

The reason for this is that the shapeshifter clan also has a special Origin Stone skill that can synchronize the memories of individuals of the same clan into the minds of other individuals. However, due to distance limitations, the transmission of memories may require the cooperation of multiple people. .And two people can just complete the memory transfer from Syracuse to Kazdaele.

After the memory is transmitted to the mind of the shapeshifter in Kazdael, the banshee uses witchcraft to read the memory, and then reproduces it in an illusion, so that Teresica can manipulate the talks in Syracuse in Kazdael.

On August 1079, 8 in Terra, the first conversation between Rem Billiton's independent forces and Victoria began. This was also the first recorded conversation between Kazdaele-related personnel and Victoria.

Thousands of miles away, Teresica watched the meeting proceed like a bystander.

Rem Billiton, from north to south, is: Queensland, Eureka, Adelaide, New Wales and New Victoria.The first three states are Rem Billiton's main ore-producing areas, while the last two states are grain-producing areas close to the ocean.

The Carters demanded the independence of Eureka and Queensland from Victoria's control.Victoria, on the other hand, stated that it could only agree to the independence of Queensland because most of it was still under the control of Victoria soldiers.

This is actually a little trick of the Victorians.

Victoria has colonized Rem Billiton for hundreds of years, and cultural erosion has continued for hundreds of years. The spiritual Victorians here are very successful.

Through these people, Victoria had learned that a private agreement had been reached between Carters and Sarkazi to gift Queensland to Cazedale.

So the Victorians thought of only agreeing to the independence of Queensland, which would cause differences in attitudes on the issue of independence between Sakaz and Carters, who were originally a group, and thus cause discord.

However, Teresica, Curtin and others have already discussed that Eureka and Queensland will break away from Victoria's control together. This is the bottom line.

Seeing that Carters and Sakaz were not letting up, Steven, the diplomatic leader on Victoria's side, started to talk about other things.

"There's one thing I'm curious about. Rem Billiton doesn't have the capability to produce battleships. I'm pretty sure about this. But why were there battleships helping the Carters in the conflict some time ago?"

Steven kept a close eye on Sakaz, hoping to use this question to force Sakaz to loosen his attitude.

"Ah, those two battleships were sent out by our Kazdaele side."

'W''s indifferent expression shocked Steven.

Can this be admitted directly?He hasn't made this clear yet. Did the Sakaz people say it first?

"You mean that Kazdael interfered with our suppression of the rebellion?"

Steven mentally responded to all the words of the declaration of war, but 'W' said at this moment: "Those two battleships were leased by the Carters. During the lease period, we, Kazdare, do not care where they go."

'W' said, placing the originally signed agreement in front of Steven. He took one look at it and threw it back.

"That's a military warship! You... no, who would rent out their own country's military warship! Your excuse is too false!"

"As far as I know, Kazdale seems to have another destroyer. Does Mr. Steven need to rent it?"

As soon as Steven finished speaking, 'Ines' said: "I have met a few people from the Kazdare naval force. If you need it, Mr. Steven, I can help you contact them. See Let’s see if Kazdale can lease you a destroyer. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can discuss with Mr. Curtin whether the lease contract can be transferred to you.”

Steven's eyes became fierce, "What if I want to rent a Katzdale destroyer to bombard the Carters!"

"Please consult the Kazdare Ship Force for specific circumstances."

Ines smiled lightly, like a receptionist.

In Syracuse, Carters, Sakaz, and Victoria argued over the issue of Rem Billiton for a whole day, but no substantive progress was ever achieved.

However, just as the first day of talks was coming to an end, Steven casually mentioned something about how to deal with the Guardian.Victoria hopes that no matter how it is handled in the future, the Guardian incident should not spread.

On this matter that was not on the subject, Kazdaile and Victoria reached a consensus on the spot.

Because one doesn't want to be embarrassed, and the other wants to make a fortune in silence.

Chapter 282 Siege

Rem Billiton area, in the rear barracks of the Victoria Army.

The orderly took the empty plates with side dishes away from the table with light steps, and instead brought the freshly fried steaks. Behind him, a cook was handling two vegetable salads.

The steaks, which were carefully cooked by professional cooks that ordinary soldiers had never seen before, were stirred casually by Harold and Stafford with knives and forks. They seemed not to be interested at all when looking at what they saw in front of them.

"Has the negotiation started?"

"Well, I asked about it. Queensland's independence should be impossible to escape, but Eureka is still fighting, but no results have been reached today."

Stafford cut a piece of meat steak casually and stuffed it into his mouth, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Ever since Sakaz intervened in the Rembiton War, their main combat goal here has changed from regional occupation to a war of attrition.The change in combat objectives also led to a change in the composition of the troops. It was no longer the Victoria Standing Division that replenished the losses, but the second-class men who had just trained for a short time.

Politics, diplomacy, and war are all inseparable. Now the negotiations have begun. The knife is more powerful than words, but you have to obey the words.The current goal must change back to the struggle for regional control, but urban combat has narrowed the gap between Victoria soldiers and Carters. Sarkaz is here again, and it takes real soldiers to complete these attacks.

but……

"The recent reinforcements, are they still those second-class people?"

Harold looked across, his furrowed brows silently expressing his answer.

The use plan for the second-class people has been proposed, so naturally it will not be taken back.

Stafford said: "Since these young people from Tara were expelled, the security situation in the country has improved a lot. They will not let us just send the burdens back, at least until the results are obtained here."

"Damn! A soldier like this! How can he attack in front of Sakaz!"

"Looking at it more clearly, on paper, these second-class people now have been trained for a longer period of time than the original batch. Moreover, all our wounded soldiers have been replaced, and supplies have been replenished. The overall strength He’s recovered a lot and has an advantage over Sakaz.”

Stafford smiled, "Although we can't beat them, they can't beat us either."

"But we must make plans early and make plans for ourselves. No matter how it develops, the final result will be the same. We definitely need a person in charge."

After Harold finished speaking, the cook brought the fruit and vegetable salad, then turned and left.Not only him, but everyone left here to avoid disturbing the two top officers.

.........

"After spending a day talking back and forth around Eureka, I really admire Victoria's diplomacy."

Teresica sat with a headache, and the two patriarchs on the other side, the Banshee and the Shapeshifter, also looked bad. One of them wanted to deliver the message, the other wanted to recreate the scene, and at the same time they both had to listen to Steven's nonsense.

It's a pity that no one else knows, otherwise this Victoria diplomat could really be awarded a medal. He single-handedly made King Kazdaile himself and the two patriarchs feel uncomfortable.

"Victoria seems to have only allowed Queensland to become independent, but the Victorians in Queensland have not had time to develop it themselves. This basically means that Victoria has obtained all the areas they previously controlled in Rem Billiton."

The leader of the Shapeshifters said: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"Then what can we do? If we haven't signed a formal armistice treaty, we will still be in a state of fighting. It seems that we have to fight to drive the Victorians out of Eureka..."

The battlefield is changing rapidly. No one can say clearly whether the advantage at this moment will be there at the next moment.After Teresica made her decision in her mind, she immediately ordered the Impaler drone and its operation team to be sent to Rem Billiton overnight, along with a large number of flares.

Teresica did not pay attention to the negotiations on the second day. He found Horton and Curtin and explained to them the issue of control of Eureka State.

Carters wrote down a bill for 1 Kazdel G20 semi-automatic individual crossbows and [-] arrows.

If you want to expand your battlefield advantage, you must definitely rely on infantry, but Kazdaele no longer has the troops he can send.If the old melee troops were to fight the ballista troops, the casualties would be a number that Teresica could not even imagine.

We must find a way to fill the power gap, and the one who is most in need is Carters.

The G1 type individual crossbow has been exported in large quantities, so there is a large inventory in Kazdaele. The transport ship delivered the crossbow and arrows to Rem Billiton that afternoon.

After getting a weapon that could truly fight the Victorians, Holden quickly made adjustments.

All the captured Victoria protective clothing and Kazdel's weapons will be selected and distributed to experienced warriors from the Carters tribe.

The operation of the G1 type individual crossbow is very simple. As long as you can install the Originium battery and insert and remove the magazine, it can be used perfectly. Carters can also get started quickly.

While the Carters are trying to learn how to use their new weapons...
