Chapter 1452

"Why did Baal's uprising fail two years ago?"

"One of the main reasons is that I didn't get your support as an aristocrat."

"If you had your support, their uprising might have succeeded."

Speaking of this, vivi settled down and silently observed Matilda's reaction.

Mathilda's face was calm, full of hesitation and confusion.

In order to help Matilda make up her mind, the faint smile reappeared on Vivian's face:

"Sir, I forgot to tell you that I am not the only envoy to your country."

"Your Majesty sent all the foreign ministers in the General Administration of foreign affairs to your country to make secret representations with your nobles."

"I am just one of the many envoys who are specially responsible for negotiating with you."

"When I first came to your house, I had received good news from other colleagues - some great nobles were willing to do this business with our country."

"What?!" Mathilda exclaimed.

"I know you can't believe it, but what I said is true."

"We don't really need all the nobles in your country to agree to help us."

"As long as the forces formed by the nobles who agreed to help our country are enough to control the center of the Lorraine empire."

"By the way, I would like to advise you again: if you intend to help our country, please hurry up. If it's late and you want to help us, we may not let you help. "

"Finally, sir, let me remind you - please think it over."

"You should also know the gap between your country and our country."

"How many troops do you have left?"

"Is it enough for 100000?"

Mathilda pursed her lips.

"Do you know how many troops are left in our country?"

Vivian then asked.

"Although our army has lost a battle before, that loss is irrelevant."

"There are still millions of troops in our country."

"How long do you think your country can hold up against our millions of troops? 2 years? 3 years? "

Matilda's lips closed more tightly.

"Just the consumption of materials, China can use a large amount of materials to consume your country alive."

"If you don't want to do this business with us, we won't be able to guarantee your safety after your country perishes."

Vivian was too lazy to say some vague hints to Matilda, and threatened Matilda directly.

Mathilda maintained her iron blue face and remained silent for a long time

After some time, Matilda finally asked Vivian:

"What good can I get if I help you?"

"If your excellency is willing to help us, after the successful surrender of the Lorraine Empire to our country, our army will not move your fiefdom."

"At the same time, I will not take away your fief."

"In short - let your excellency continue to rule your fiefdom."

"Just let your excellency change from the state of respecting queen Bella as the monarch to the state of respecting your majesty of our country as the monarch."

"Everything remains the same except that there can be no more private episodes."

"You can continue to rule your fiefdom and have great autonomy."

"In the past, you paid tribute to the central government of the Lorraine empire. Later, you will pay tribute to the central government of our country."

As soon as Vivian's voice fell, Matilda sneered:

"What you said just now has no credibility at all."

"You think I don't know how your emperor treated your country's vassals two years ago."

"Your emperor is so bad to your country's vassals. How can you make me believe that your emperor will be friendly to us from foreign countries?"

After quietly listening to Matilda's words, Vivian shrugged.

"Sir, if you don't want to believe the gift our majesty will give you - you can't believe it."

"As long as you don't regret it later."

"Anyway, with or without your help as aristocrats, the Lorraine empire will surely perish."

"It's just the difference between earlier and later."

"If you are willing to help us, we will fulfill our promise to you."

"If you don't want to help us..."

Vivian didn't finish.

Although she didn't finish her words, the threat in her words had been clearly conveyed to Matilda.

Mathilda's face, which was already black, became even bluer, as if it might drip water at any time.

In this negotiation, Matilda was in a position of no bargaining power

The weakness of the country and the strength of the British Empire made Mathilda have no bargaining power at all.

Matilda now feels she is in a dilemma

Vivian just said that the center of the British Empire sent a large number of envoys to contact the ambassadors of the Lorraine empire.

This flustered Mathilda.

Indeed, as Vivian just said - if you want to control the real power of the central government, you don't need all the nobles to unite together.

Only a certain number of great nobles are needed.

Let's not worry about whether the central government of the British Empire will honor the benefits promised to them if it cooperates with the British Empire.

If the other nobles agreed to cooperate with the British Empire, but she did not agree - wouldn't she be the only one left to face a miserable fate when the Lorraine Empire perished?

Other nobles ended up well because they helped the britannian Empire, but their families were destroyed - Mathilda couldn't accept such an outcome anyway

Although it is also possible that everyone does not agree to cooperate with the British Empire.

However, a new question arises - how to ensure that other nobles do not agree to cooperate with the British Empire?

Plus - with military power alone, the British Empire was indeed fully capable of destroying the Lorraine empire.

Mathilda doesn't really believe that her country's army has the ability to block millions of troops of the British Empire

……

……

"... I see."

Matilda murmured.

"I am willing to assist your country."

"But your country must ensure that after the demise of the Lorraine Empire, I can continue to have a high degree of autonomy over my fiefdom."

"That's nature." Vivian said with a smile, "I assure you that after the demise of the Lorraine Empire, all the benefits we promised you will be fulfilled one by one."

……

……

Vivian actually told a little lie just now.

When I came to the Duke of Burgundy, I learned that other nobles had agreed to assist them in the britannian Empire - it was a complete lie.

Vivian didn't know whether the other nobles agreed to help the britannian empire.

Not just Vivian.

All the other envoys who went to negotiate with other nobles said so.

Because before they set out, Vivian and they agreed to say this if the other party hesitated.

By saying this, the chances of the other party agreeing to assist the British Empire will greatly increase.

Now it seems - sure enough.

After the envoys, including Vivian, said this, one nobleman after another agreed to cooperate with their britannian empire.
