Eight Hundred and Forty-One, This Is Our Bottom Line

Andrea felt that she had already entered the state. After all, the elves were always in a strong position when negotiating with humans.

When she was negotiating with Alan Hill before, she was always in a disadvantaged position, which made her unable to adapt for a while, and even forgot the elves' attitude towards humans all the time.

Now, she remembered that, except for Alan Hill, she was still the leader of the elves with powerful magic, and she was still the peerless powerhouse who once overlooked all living beings.

Ever since, she, who had already entered the state, began to squeeze the Eternal Empire. Yes, this negotiation can be described as oppressive, and Andrea has a new hatred and an old hatred, and she doesn't give the other party any chance at all.

In fact, Alan Hill paid for the territory of the elves before, which originally made the elves inside feel ashamed. It's all right now, just get back the principal and interest together!

"No!" After hearing the other party's request to increase the compensation to 700 million gold coins, Andrea shook her head calmly, and said dismissively, "This is not a problem that gold coins can solve!"

Of course, this is not a problem that can be solved by gold coins. The old prime minister of the Eternal Empire snorted depressedly, and then continued: "We are willing to give up the division of the Puppet Empire, how about it?"

The puppet empire was defeated, and all countries set up sub-districts on the original territory of the puppet empire. The original intention of this sub-district was to carve up the inheritance of the puppet empire, and the eternal empire naturally got a big piece of cake.

Before, the division of the Alan Hill Empire did not border the Alan Hill Empire, so for the Alan Hill Empire, the division of the puppet empire was almost an enclave.

However, when the Alan Hill army in the south swept across the southern kingdom and the Kashyyk Empire was unable to support itself and finally surrendered, the southern area of ​​the Alan Hill Empire bordered on the territory that originally belonged to the puppet empire.

At this time, the land of the Alan Hill Empire looks like a huge letter "C", but this C is reversed.

From east to west, it surrounded the Eternal Empire on three sides and sandwiched the Eternal Empire on two sides. With the new puppet empire attached to Alan Hill, Chris's huge empire and Grecon formed borders at both ends in the north and south directions.

In other words, in fact, Alan Hill and Grecon have surrounded the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, and these two countries have no possibility of expanding to any area.

In this situation, with the Eternal Empire ceding the Gushan Fortress and withdrawing from the puppet empire's division, the inverted C letter of Alan Hill is about to completely surround the Norma Empire.

Now, the poor Norma Empire has only a piece of territory left, which is connected to the city of Gith in the Eternal Empire.

This narrow strip is to bypass the Gushan Mountain that has been ceded to Alan Hill, and bypass the East River through Gith—if there is no such a narrow strip, Alan Hill is equivalent to saying that the Norma Empire is completely surrounded. .

At that time, the huge letter C of the Alan Hill Empire will become a strangely shaped letter "O".

Whether it is in a strategic sense or in terms of the territorial depth of the empire, this change in shape is very beneficial.

However, Andrea also knew that the Eternal Empire would not give up that lifeline easily. Only by maintaining this lifeline, can the Eternal Empire itself engage in trade with the Norma Empire at a cheaper rate, and even form a back-to-back offensive and defensive alliance with the Norma Empire at a critical moment.

Therefore, Andrea felt that she had grasped the pulse. Since the so-called "lifeline" Eternal Empire was unwilling to throw away, she could make a fuss about Donghe and Geese and ask for more benefits elsewhere. .

Andrea, who had made up her mind, said to the old prime minister of the Eternal Empire: "Since the Gushan Kingdom is going to be ceded to us, why not give us Gith as well."

The old prime minister was overjoyed, but on the surface he was calm, and refused: "Your appetite is too great, ceding Gushan is already our bottom line."

"Just now you said that 700 million gold coins is your bottom line." Andrea waved her hand and said again: "If you are not willing to take out Gies... we can also give in a step..."

Andrea doesn't really want Geese, because she can also see that if Alan Hill gets the place of Geese, it's hard to say what attitude the Eternal Empire will have, but the Norma Empire will definitely explode out of the pot.

At that time, the Norma Empire, which is surrounded by Alan Hill on all sides, and Greckon, who watched the entire magical world being divided, will be uneasy or even dissatisfied with Alan Hill's greed...

Seeing that Andrea wanted to change the topic on the issue of ceding Guise, the old prime minister felt that he should show his "weapon".

So he pretended to be heartbroken and determined, and said to Andrea: "Since your country doesn't care about the friendship in the past or the public opinion of other empires, then we can only humiliate you The peace of the country...Gith is Ghis! We don't even want the East River!"

Andrea was dumbfounded by what she said. Just now, she was still thinking about how to let the Eternal Empire cede some territory on the northern border, but she heard that the other party nodded and was willing to cede Ghis.

Before she had time to adjust her thinking, the other party continued with a set of combined punches: "We are willing to cede Donghe and Guise to your country together! In this way, your country should be satisfied, right?"

After hearing this condition, Andrea, who represented Alan Hill and had always been aggressive, finally recovered from the downtime.

This time, she really didn't realize that the Eternal Empire would be such a bachelor—on the contrary, she, in this situation, couldn't be more aggressive.

"This..." Andrea is also an old fritter. She saw the old prime minister throwing out Jiss and Donghe in such a bachelor way. Obviously, it was a countermeasure that had been discussed with the emperor of the Eternal Empire before—if the other party is It's a temporary idea, and I absolutely dare not make decisions so arbitrarily.

Now that he knew that he had stepped into the opponent's trap, Andrea decided to use the strategy of delaying the attack first, and delay for a while.

So she coughed softly, and said to the old prime minister: "I need to take a break, and I need to discuss with His Majesty Chris... let's adjourn the meeting for now!"

"Yes." The old prime minister's face was filled with a "victory" smile: "However, this is our bottom line, please be sure to tell His Majesty the Emperor of your country..."
